TaERE is bill before the Legislature

TRERE is bill before the legislature
practically doing away with the present
law exemptiug two hundred dollars
worth of personal property from taxa
tion, and it was strongly advocated by
the member from Emmons county. Dur
ing consideration of the bill IN the house
Mr.. Armstrong Notwithstanding to
the newspaper report--that he believed
he knew the wishes of the people of his
district, and that most of them wanted
the law repealed. It will be remembered
that this is tie law that Mr.. Armstrong
nullified for two years when he was audi
tor de jure and treasurer de facte of this
county. For two years tax payers who
went to the county building to pay their
taxes were not Informed that they were
entitled to an exemption of two hundred
dollars worth Of personal property.
Some knew of the law. These protested,
and of course were given the benefit of
the exemption. In other words, part
of the taxpayers paid about six dollars
moro than certain other taxpayers who
were aware Of their legal rights.
But the object of this article issimply
to call atteaAon to the fact that when
the gentleman from Emmons states that
the psople Of this county are anxious TO
pay abont - mere in taxes than they
now pay, &c y merely Grating through
his hsadsssar.
Ths only weak spot IN the law is that
1t allows the head Of q family to list por-
items of his property as belonging to
other members, and thus permits further
exemptions to. be taken. But this could
probably be sialmost entirely remedied
by allowing but one exemption to each
household, and making pro rata di.
vision Of the exemption among the sey.
eral members of the household who might
make claim to ownership in a portion Of
the property. Besides, the Record has
faith enough in the people to belle ve
that, even with the present law un.
amended, no considerable number would
swear to the ownership of property that
did not belong to them.
We can consclentieusly assure the hon.
orable gentlemen who are making our
laws that,a large majority Of the people
of EWmons county do not want the pres.
ent redemption law repealed or the ex
emptirg figures lessened. Why, many
of them have not been able TO pay their
taxes, even uiM the exemption. They
are not at all anxious to have another
burden added. Six good, big, round sill
yer dollars would look huge to them Just
now. They have an idea that those who
have worked and slaved out here for
years should have the long end of the
wh,faetree when the taxation OF the not

states and one Southern, Maryland, it
is below 6 per cent. Connecticut has
the lowest rate, 5.47 per cent, and
New York next, 5.48.
''Some Of these high interest rates
are due to lack of development more
than to anything else, but in such
states as California, Iowa, Kansas, Ne
braska, Illinois and Georgia the
profits from investments in real estate
mortgages at the rates of interest pre-
vailing are out Of proportion to other
classes of investments. Profits of
9 and 10 per cent. on investments as
safe as real estate mortgages in such
states as these are too great. The
debtors have right to complain, and
the Express believes that this excess
of interest charge is at the bottom of
the whole sentiment in favor of fiat
money.
'It must be remembered too, that
chsttel mortgages on personal property
pay still higher rates. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing for such mortgages to pay 25
or 30 per cent. year. If money were
more plentiful in these states, it would
follow that the rate of. interest would
go down, provided the money, were
sound and honest, not fiat in whole or
in part. 1t seems to the Express that
the sound money men should examine
carefully all just grounds for complaint
in the silver sections and freely ac-
knowledge them. 1t only weaken the
sound-money cause if the people Of the
West are allowed to think that
sound money means a contracted cur
rency and high interest rates, as most
of them are being told by the silver
ites."
The advocate., 1895-06-12
Currency and Interest.


Buffalo Express of May 81, will do
very well for a gold-bug paper. II
must be a rejected communication
which escaped from the waste basket
and got upon the editorial hook:
iSuch statements as those of Sir
William Vernon Harcourt in regard
to bimetallism in England show how
hopeless is the expectation, better
called wish, that any international
agreement ever can be formed which
will restore to silver its ancient place
in the coinage of the world. England
is satisfied with the gold standard and
has no wish to change it. 1t has been
q gold monometallic nation since 1916
and has grown prosperous under the
system. Whatever agitation there is
for change in the monetary sys-
tenn of England comes mostly from
the outside. TO be sure, Mr.. Bslfour
has toyed a little with the POpulistic
argument about poor mans money,
but this is only a bait to catch
voters.
"But though England's system may
be satisfactory to Englishmen, it does
not follow that an imitation of it would
work equally well in the United
States. One point which sound.money
see ms in danger of overlooking is the
need Of constantly increasing the
amount of money in the United States
to keep pace with the growth Of popu-
lation. This necessity does not exist
In England. The population there
Is fairly stable. AS a whole, it is not
increasing rapidly, and the same is
true Of other European countries
Hence, when they have found the
amount Of money required to transact
their business, they can stop with thai
and need make little provision for itl
increase.
"But the United States is a rapidly
growing nation. For the last twenty
years it has grown at the rate of more
than a million year. If this Is to
continue, as it will so long as the coun'
try Is prosperous and attracts emf
grants, it would imply that the circu
lRtion should increase at least 25 mil
Lion dollars every year in order tC
maintain the present per capita.
(" Nor is the demand of the silVeritel
that the per capita be increased en-
tirely without justice, though not fol
the reason they give-thst more money
would raise prices. To be sure, here
In the East, there is no demand for an
increase. But it is probable that the
per capita of circulation here is much
greater than the average for the whole
United States. The East is the center
Of wealth and Of capital. The fact
that more money could be used with
advantage to the people of the West
ern and Southern states is sh own BY
the rates Of interest paid on real es
tate mortgages there. Here are some
representative figures: Arizona, 1870
per cent; Arkansas, 9.44 per cent.
Florida, 1858 per cent; Georgia, ST.
per cent; Louisiana, 8,02 per cent.
Mississippi, GA per cent; California
