The Winnebago City (Minn) Press
News of last week contained this item
OF general interest to money loaners:
The tow mill man at Heron Lake,
Mr. J. T. Smith, has met and van
qujahed the "saw-faced Jew" as our
friend Gilman would term him, on his
own ground. To work the flax straw
UP into tow, and boom the town, it
seems Mr.. Smith, who evidently is a
progressive man, borrowed 81 900
from one James ; Parsons In add
ton to the notes bearing 10 per cent
interest, Parsons rang in a good sized
bonus on the unsophisticatcd manu-
tacturer. When the notes, secured by
mortgage matured, the wiley tow mill
man kicked, and Parsons proceeded to
force collection in the courts This
week the Supreme Court handed down
Il decision to the effect that the sum of
$2j, G00 which Parsons loaned Smith,
is forfeited and cannot be collected on
account OF uSury.

The city council held meeting Tues
day evening, and IN the published re
port of the meeting we find this:

The city council held 4 meeting Tues
day evening, and III the published re
port of the meeting we find this:
The proposed amendment of the charter in
regard to issuing bonds for special improve
ments was then brought up. II. H. Grace. at
torney for Capt. Barker, to whom the city
still owes $4,000. explained the new ordi-
nance. He said:
The special Improvement bonds under the
new ordinance is made prior lien but in
that way it is no different from any other
tax. The boudholders have the right. ninety
days after the taxes have been defaulted up
on, to commence suit to foreclOse. but a pro-
vision of the ordinance declares that the
bondhOlderS must serve notice on all the
people interested in the property in any way.
thus giving the mortgagOr time to look after
his interests. The owners have the right at
any time after the action has begun and be-
fore judgment has been entered. TO come in
and pay the taxes with 70 per cent. interest.
All know that before making a loan it is
usually required that the taxes be paid, and
where the taxes are unpaid the murtgagor
usually has clause in the mortgage TO pro-
tect himself. 1t is safe to say that after ac-
tion was begun it would be at least two years
before the property could be CLOSED out, as
the court would ut least give q year to re-
deem"
Now we donot profess to know much
about law, but we do not like
the sound Of the above extract,
and we don't believe Our city or
people stand in need Of any such leg
islation. We do not see why the bond
holder should step in and sUpplanU the
state, county and city as a tax collec-
tor, and we do not believe it is good
law for these corporations or the peo-
pie living under them. OF course Nh
Grace says il would proJaJIy take two
years to close out the property, as the
court would at least give a year to re
deem in. But these are only suppose
tions, and the county can close out the
property in three years, and if the
bond holder can wait two years he can
wait three years. This looks Ike a
scheme of the bond sharks to get snap
judgments on our city property. and
We hope the council wjllrtject all such
Scheming.
