Walter G. Gresham, Mr. Clevelands choice
Tor secretary of state. is tcttcr known through
his former republican utilization. His choice
for the most important position in the cabinet
was surprise to all parties but his thorough
accord with Mr.. Cleveland on the tariff question
ana his undoubted qualifications. coupled with
unimpeachable personal integrity, probably
suggested his appointment.
The great questions now pending in the state
department-the Behring sea ar. itratiOn, the
Canadian railway matter. even the Hawaiian
question-require the mastery hand of great
lawyer to deal with them. Such hand Judge
Gresham can bring into Mr.. Cleveland $ cabinet
When Arthur succeeded GARFIELD Gresham
became acknowledgements in the cabinet and
made an excellent record. Before the close OF
the administration he was appointed judge OF
the Seventh judicial district, Il position which
he has since held. His record on the bench is
well known.
The Seventh judicial circuit. involving the
holding of the United States courts 1t Chica-

Gresham has worthily maintained the high
reputation of the court which it obtained in the

the sea- he commanded a division of the Sew
enteenth army corps. He was highly regarded
by the late lamented Mcpherson. and on the
same day that Mcpherson was killed Gresham
received the wound that incapacitated him for
further service.
Judge Gresham is six-footer in stature, and
in his youth was called the handsomest fellow
in his part of the country. He has always been

Familiar Objection to Tax Reform Re-
futed.

To the Editor of 1.-THE Daily News,
Batavia, n. Y.-Dear Sir-Even though
it were true that this association, AZ
asserted by you, is composed of mill
lionaires and men of slightly less exc
tensive fortunes, whose property Is
largely personal" the fact would be no
argument against the principles which
we advocate. But it is not true. There
is not one wealthy member of the as
ISOLATION whose real estate is not Of
greater value than his personal prop
erty, while many members have all
their investments in real estate. II you
are inclined to doubt this statement
and other particulars.
Coming to your criticisms on our plat
form we. find you asserting that our
claim that t'direct taxation on real CO.
tate would bear least heavily on the
farmer and worker" Is untrue. But
you offer no proof. Your special plead
ing on behalf of the poor mortgage
ridden farmer is pathetic, but does not
answer the question as to who would
pay the larger share of taxation levied
on real estate. Had you taken tho
trouble to look into the assessment re-
turns from each county in this state.
you would have seen that the farmers
own less than one-fifth of the value Of
the entire real estate and therefore pay
less than one-fifth Of the state taxes.
A further fact could also have been
found; that there are forty-fsve coun-
ties in the state, including all the pure
~ agricultural districts. which do not
pay dollar Of state taxes, as they re-
ceive back in school money more than
their levy for state purposes. OF course
they pay local and county taxes. but It
is doubtful whether Of these the farm
er's proportion is higher on an average
than for state purposes.
Your proposition to tax mortgages ID
one which originates in mistaken idea
as to who would ultimately pay the tax
If the mortgage were taxed he would
either charge higher interest or with
draw his loan, thus iniuring the farmer
whom You wish to assist. A mortgage
is merely evidence that some one who
had saved some capital had loaned 1t To
an owner Of real estate. Taxing capi-
tai tends to discourage both its accumu.
lation and investment. and by driving
it out of the country districts decreases
the value Of land. You know very we'll
that it is the personal property lin Stho
form of machinery, implements, csttlc,
horses, etc.). which is used upon farm
lands, which gives them their value. II
it expecting too much to hope that
some day the farmers may be wise
enough to see the folly Of fining by tax

tity Of those things.

The fact that John Griffin Carlisle has been
chosen to tfl the secretaryship of the treasury
in the Cleveland cabinet hardly brings any add
ed honor to the great kentuckian. He began
life at the bottom. and by his own energy. Grains
and force Of character is likely to leave 1t at the
top. He born in Kent ucky, September 5.
1925 He had a common school education only.
and taught school himself while he prosecuted
the preliminary studies of the law He must
have been precocious teacher. as he was ad-
mitted to the bar at y. He still bears more re-
semblance to the pedagogue than the states
man. He went into politics. as most Ken
tuckians do. simultaneously with going into
law and the very next year. 1859, was sent to
the Kentucky house OF representatives.
Four years later he declined the
nomination for presidential elector on the
democratic ticket. and he went to the state
senate in 1856. He was then 30 years of age.
and from that time forward rose rapidly in pop
ular esteem. He was reelected to the senate in
1869. In the previous year, however. ne made
his debut in the national political arena as
delegate at large from his state to the National
democratic conventiod ut New York.
Honors fell thicker upon him and he was
elected ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS kentuckyin May.
1871, and resigned his seat in the senate to az
eept the place When his term expired he was
elected presidential elcctor from the stateaf-
large The following year he was sent to con-
gress This was the Forty-fifth congress. and
he served from that time with growing distinc-
ton until he was chosen speaker OF the house
of representatives.
The congressional life of Mr.. Carlisle has been
one continuous triumph. From his advent up
on The Hoor of the house to the day OF his cleo
ton to the speakership he was controlling
spirit.
Mr.. Carlisle won his spurs in congress on the
Carlisle internal revenue bill In the Forty-sixt
congress. From that hour he became the rec
ognized leader Of his party on the great Qoes-
tion Of taxation-one which Is less Thoroughly
understood than any other question Of national
polity. He was the life and soul OF the 3 per

HOW TAKING MORTGAGES
WORKS IN OREGON.

Convincing Testimony rs to the Injurious
Effects of Taxes on Capital
It need hardly be said that chamb ers
of commerce represent the commercial
and mercantile element of cities.
Merchants are borrowers, not lenders
of money, and when a chamber of com.
merce unanimously petitions legis-
lature to repeal a mortgage tax law.
the inference is clear that such law has
not proved satisfactory to the very
elements it was expected to please and
benefit.
The Portland chamber Of commerce
has taken that action. This ought to
exert some influence upon those people
in Washington who are clamoring for
the adoption in this state of the very
law which Oregon passed to her loss
and sorrow. The report is as follows:
The mortgage tax law, so called. was
enacted in 1882, for the purpose Of
reaching money then being invested in
enterprises tending to develop the re-
sources of the state. By reason of COM
petition the rates of interest were then
gradually falling, and the immigration
of farmers was increasing. The new
law singled out mortgages as special
object of taxation, classed them as real
estate and provided a cumbrous system
of collection of the various rates.
The result was lnevitable-million
of dollars of outside money were inn
mediately withdrawn from Oregon and
placed for investment in neighboring
states. While local money lenders,
without competition, have since fat
tened through the enormous rates Of in
terest they have thus been enabled to
charge, the agricultural, commercial
and manufacturing interests Of the
state have languished, and the circula-
ton of money has been b1ockaded It
is not necessary to point out special
branches of enterprise now remaining
at standstill; they are not only too
evident and object lessons of the effects
Of the system meet us on every hand.
The theory of deduction of indebted
ness from assessment was wrong in the
beginning, and its results are also man
ifest to-day in the great abuses Of the
privilege-millions Of dollars of fraudu-
lent claims for deduction being allowed,
especially In the large cities. to the
greatly increased burden OF the smaller
taxpayers
The Review has repeatedly discussed
the reasons and theories which forbid
the adoption OF mortgage tax law.
Here we have the actual conditions ex-
perienced by neighboring state. In
1892 Washington, with 12, 957 firms and
individuals engaged in business, suffer-
ed only 1876 failures In the same year
Oregon, with but 1871 places Of busi-
ness, suffered 215 failures. In this state
the liabilities were only 500, 800; in Or
e<on they were 81. 615, 100.
There is q homely saying that i =
best to let well enough alone.
