HITS FARMERS hardest.

Personal Property Taxes Fall Principally
ON the Rural Counties.
1t is maintained by those opposed ia
continuing the attempt to tax personal
property, that when such taxes ara
strictly enforced the farmers pay pro
portionatcly large share. This has been
denied by some professed friends OF the
farmer, but they are able to find little
proof in the results where the expert
m emit has been thoroughly made.
As an illustration of the injurious eff
fects of the personal tax law on the
farmers of Minnesota, where it has
been in force for several years, read
the following extract from the ST. Louis
Globe, of January 30:
''Our subsection of personal property
to taxation is largely failure, owing
to the ease with which, after certain
point, this property can be hidden from
the assessors This is made plain by a
study of the tax abstracts of the state,
as given in the auditors annual report.
It shows that the personal property OF
the country districts is assessed, while
that in the cities escapes. Taking a
few representative agricultural coun.
ties as illustrative Of this, we get the
following results:

such is already taxed by the states.
counties and cities where they are To-
Gated.
Why should money be taxed twise
when other property is not? Why
should foreign capital be Disseminated
against. as though it was a curse in
stead of benefit, to our communities?
Capital is like water. it seeks an equi.
librium. It goes where it is needed
most to render conditions equal; and
wherever it is loaned the presume tior
is that it was the cheapest money oh.
tainable, and therefqre the greatest
possible benefit to the borrower.

FOOLISH TAXATION SCHEMES
OPPOSED.
An Indiana Paper Shows the Folly Of Tar
Ing Capital.

An Indiana Paper Shows the Folly Of Tax
Ing Capital.
Representative Fippen has introduced
a resolution looking to taxing of for
eign capital loaned within the state
through local agents.
The principal objection to the propos-
ition is that it will prove hardship on
the borrowing class, whose burdens are
already heavy. If the foreign compan-
les stay in the field they will increase
their rates of interest and thus the
local tax will ultimately fall on the Dor
rowers and not the companies The
present interest law permits 8 per cent
interest to be charged when it is 80
stipulated in the bond" although most
of the foreign loans are made at about
6 per cent Under the local tax law this
rate could be raised to per cent and
still be as low as the ruling bank rate
throughout the state.
So whether the proposed law would
drive out foreign capital or not, it is
hard to see where it can fail to prove
q heavy burden on the resident Dor
rowers- Even if the law is sup
plemented by another relieving mort
gage debtors from taxation to the
amount of their mortgages they would
still be but little if any better of.
Again, there is an objection to Mr.,
Fippen's proposition, on principle. All
this foreign capital is already taxed in
the state where is the home Office Of
the company. Every dollar OF It Is rep
resented " the capital stock or surplus

The Boston commissioners gave an
illustration of the absurdity Of all tax
systems which treat tangible property
as one subject of taxation and the cvi-
dences of title or indebtedness on ac-
count of that property as another and
distinct subject. by suggesting that II n
trunk with its contents has taxable
value and is taxed where is it found,
baggage check for that trunk ought
to be also taxable at the same rate in
the hands of whoever may happen to
have it! Or. say they, suppose two beg.
CARS go to restaurant with but TWEEN
ty-five cents between them, and one OF
them should say to the bartender.

have borrowed from my friend, and he
has my note or ]. O. u, which is good
for twenty-five cents; so, you see, we
have fifty cents between us. Please
let us have fifty cents worth Of liquor. I"
That reasoning, which seems to be suf-
ficient for the trainers of our tax lars,
would hardly extort fifty cents worth
Of food or liquor from the stupidest

providing for the forfeiture tc the state
Of notes, drafts or checks not returned
for taxation. reflect little credit on our
law-makers who propose what anyone
of cool judgment must condemn as Inn
practicable and unwarranted. Such .
device for making taxpayers toe the
mark would prove unavailing. Efforts
to enforce it would be largely bafled
and the main effect of the pursuit OF
those citizens who were supposed to be
evading the law in regard to the return
of property for taxation would be to
drive capital and business out of the
state. Moreover. this drastic measure
partalxes of the predatory methods of
the small kings and barons of centuries
ago who stopped ut nothing in the ex-
cess g their zeal for. getting revenue.
There Is no marked difference between
such bill and one which would forfeit
