Taxing Mortgages.

One result anticipated by well-in-
fosrned persons, though seemingly not
expected by legislators. of recent laws
in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, in re-
gard to taxing mortgages, is the invest
ment in other ways, notably in city,
county. school and high-grade corpora
ton bonds, of money heretofore loaned
on farm and city real estate in tho
states named. Municipal bonds are
being taken in large amounts of Chi.
cago bankers, and then are left in safe
ty deposit vaults as special deposit
thus escaping all publicity concerning
a persons investments and avoiding
taxation. Saint and sinner alike will
avoid taxation if possible. The facili-
ties now afforded for making such in
vestments render them quite popular
with those who have been in a habit Of
loaning their money on real estate
mortgages in Michigan, Ohio and Indi-
ana. The rate of interest is kept up in
consequence, and non-residents step in
and take the loans. In New York, Con-
necticut and Pennsylvania, where the
total amount of land loans is large,
many years experience has taught. the
lesson that it is impossible to reach for
taxation more than q small fraction of
the bonds and mortgages held by in-
vestors, and SO the laws are more lib
eral While the ideal tax is levied
equally upon all forms of property, yet
some states. like those last named, do
not try to tax securities the same as
other property for the simple reason
that they have found 1t impossible to
do So The result is that in New York
real estate loans are made at rate of
interest as low as 4 per cent The re-
lief borrowers get in low rate of in.
terest more than makes good the exemp.
ton of this class of property from taxa
ton. (Mich.) Patriot.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1893-04-01

The Detroit Tribune shows how the
Michigan legislature Numbered in tax
ing mortgages.
Here is state of things that econom-
lists would do well to reflect upon. I'm.
der pretense of avoiding double taxa
ton, the legislature passed the mort
gage tax law. 1t is not at all certain
that the provisions of the law will be
effective in relieving the mortgagor Of
taxation upon that portion of the as
sessed value of his property which is
covered by the amount of the mort
gage, but it is certain that loanable
capital has been contracted, and that
the borrowers upon mortgage security
must pay higher rates of interest In
view of these circumstances, it is not
surprising, that home capital must
seek investment elsewhere. nor that il
should flow to Illinois, where no enor-
nous burdens are laid upon either Dor.
rover or lender. But it is strange
commentary on legislative wisdom, that
Michigan, by a foolish law. should
drive her own capital out of the state
for investment No greater legislative
blunder was ever incorporated in our
statutes than the present law taxing
mortgages.
