TAKING MORTGAGES.

The question of taxing mortgages is
attracting wide attention in Minnesota
at present, and the indications are that
legislation on this subject will be in
vDked at the next session of the legisla-
ture. There are more arguments than
one against the present system OF mort
gage taxat1on-any one of which ought
to be conclusive. The principle ones are
that the present law involves double
Standardization OF the mortgaged
property and taxation of the security or
mortgage, increasing the assessment
rolls without any compromising increase
of actu al value. Forinstance: A. owns
a farm assessed for $4,000, upon which
he gives a mortgage to B. for $1,000. No
one will argue that the mere act of exc
cutting and recording this mortgage has
added anything to the aggreg ate wealth,
and yet there is, by this transaction,
material addition to the tax-roll-a crea-
ton of taxable property by merely Sc
curing debt. Clearly there is double
taxation involved in this transaction.
Again, the law is not only easily
evaded, but there is a discrimination
against local capital as compared with
foreign. If the mortgage be non-resi-
dent, his mortgage cannot be taxed in
this state, whereas a citizen of Minpeso-
ia who owns a mortgage in his own
name must pay full rates of local taxa
ton thereon. , The inevitable result is
that the citizen will either decline to
loan his money on such security, which
is matter of public record, Or he will
take the mortgage in the name of a nom
resident friend who cannot be reached
under the state taxing laws. And, in
fact, the latter method is almost univer-
sally rcsorted to-, and in Stearns county
alone it is safe to say that there are tens
of thousands of dollars of mortgages
thus evading the laws. The law puts
premium upon Misrepresentation, and
discriminates against the loaner who is
too conscientious to resort to such
methods.
Is there an adequate remedy? That is
a question which is appealing strongly
at present to fnanciers throughout the
county, and several have been suggested.
The HERALD has a pet project which
may not fully accomplish it's end, but
will certainly overcome some of the OBJ
jections. 1t provides for the taxation of
the realty only, in full, and the issuing
of an official certificate covering the pro-
portionate amount of tax which the
mortgage ought to pay, this certificate
to be made receivable for either plinci-
pal or interest. In other words. the
mortgagor merely advances the tax on
the mortgage, which he RECEIVERS back as
rebate of interest, thereby really paying
tax upon his equa,ty in the property on
ly. The details of the plan will appear
later.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

SSudlOI 1HSdIIS Is SILL h pOSILudSlCI Ill
the art of excoriating democrats, par
ticularly those who are his colleagues il,
the United States senate. Yesterday at.
ternoon the Senator from Kansas made
a characteristic speech to crowded gal
leries. 1t was made in reply to Senator
Buffers remarks in favor of his PROPOSE
ton to send the negroes to Africa.
Speaker Reed is ruling the house with
a strong and steady hand, and now that
the republicans have pulled themselves
together and are acting in concert the
democrats find it utterly impossible to
succeed in any dilatory tactics. AS soon
as one of them attempts to do anything
irregular Mr.. Reed decides promptly
against him and the house stands by the
speakers decision, or at least the repub-
lican majority docs, which amounts to
the same thing. Of course, the demo-
cIats who expected to keep the house in
a tangle all the time by fillibustering are
kicking hard and yelling "usurpation,' ~
but Mr.. Reed only smiles at them and
goes ahead in his own way. The repub-
licans ure congratulating themselves
that no mistake was made in electing
Mr.. Reed to be speaker.
Senator Chandler has offered a con-
current resolution instructing the COM
mittees on immigration in house and
senate to investigate the workings of all
United States and state laws in regard
to immigrating from foreign countries,
and also to investigate the working of
the contracts made by the secretary of
the treasury, under act of congress, of
August 8, 1882, with various state COM
missions, boards and officers:
Secretary Blaine is so greatly prostra-
ted with grief for the death Of his son,
Walker, that he has not yet been able to
regularly resume his duties at the state
department.
The house isn't making very rapid
progress in disposing of it's Worlds Fair
question, in fact it doesn't seem to be
making any progress at all. The
trouble seems to be that none of the ad-
vocates of the rival cities wish to take a
single step forward unless it favors the
particular city for which they are work
ing. Unless some sort of compromise
is agreed upon there will be no Worlds
fair.
The house committee on elections has
reported favor of unseating Jackson,
the sitting member from West Virginia,
and declaring Smith, the republican con-
testant, entitled to the seat. This is the
first of the seventeen contested election
cases to be disposed of by the commit
tee. There was a minority report signed
by all of the democratic members Of the
committee.
Senator Jones has introduced bill to
discontinue the coinage of So and 81
gold pieces, and three-cent nickel pieces.
Vhe coinage of these pieces has already
been practically abandoned by the gov
eminent because there is no demand for
them.
The house committee on reform in the
civil service will decide next Monday
whether 1t will report favorably on the
resolution to investigate the civil service
commission. The commission having

Hereafter the SENTINEL will continue
to keep the question of the annexation
of the counties of Stearns and Benton be-
fore the people, and hopes at no distant
day to see that object accomplished. 1t
is fact, and can't be contradicted sue
cessfully, that seven-eighths of the peop-
lie of Benton county are in favor Of an
nexation, and if ever they have chance
to vote on that question, will demon
strate that statement to be fact.
-lSauk Rapids Sentinel.
The SENTINEL may be assured of the
hearty cooperation OF western Stearns
in its fight for annexation. With Ben
ton annexed and Franklin set off, Stearns
county would still retain its supremacy
among the great counties of the state in
points of wealth, population and in
fuence and would be symmetrical and
convenient in its relations to the county
seat which would be central in it's entire
territory. Not only so, but it would
have common interests and be homogen-
Gus, and no one at all familiar with the
facts will claim that such is the case at
present. St. Cloud and eastern Stearns
must surely see that it's interests will be
best subserved by the annexation ofBen-
ton and the erection of a new county
from the westerly townships of old
Stearns. May the SENTINEL succeed. in
its laudable efforts.
