The Mortgage Decision,

The decision Of the United States
supreme court that the Kansas
mortgage redemption law can apply
only to those mortgages written after
the passage Of the law will be en-
dorsed by the best judgment Of the
state. The state court was SO incon-
sistent in reversing itself in the
matter that it caused much specula-
ton as to the reason that could have
led the members to the second ruling.
The matter has evidently been one
Of no uncertainty on the part Of the
supreme conrt for it is given out that
the opinion is unanimous. The pro-
lection OF the debtor class is one Of
much Importance but tbs not to be
done without the proper recognition
Of the rights Of the investor. Kansas
has in the past few years been dis
posed to be rather neglectful Of these
latter rights and to deem the property
owner well provided for in having his
money. The class that looks upon
the mortgage question in this light
will be dissatisfied with the ruling
Of the court. But the sober second
thought Of the majority will be in
favor Of the decision.
As the decision affects so many
people in this county it may be Of in
terest to give some Of the reasons
put forth by the supreme court in the
opinion The ruling is Of Importance
to every one who owes or loans
money and the courts reasoning is
we'll worth reading, The argument
is that the law existing then is part
of the implied contract entered into
when the mortgage is signed and any
change Of law which makes the fore
closure more difficult or costly i'm
pairs the contract. Hence the court
holds that the redemption law can
only apply to such mortgages as are
made after the adoption Of the law.

OFFICIAL FIGURES.
Draw Your Own Conclusions from
These Facts.

=
There has been considerable com
ment aroused by the splendid show
Ing made by the REFLECTOR as re
vealed by the official figures. Las
week we published this item:
The postmaster reports the tota
number Of pounds Of local papers
mailed at the Abilene postotfice dur
ing April, 1896, as follows; 2S5l
pounds.
OF this amount the REFLECTOR
mailed lO48 pounds.
The six other papers printed in
this city combined mailed 1909
pounds.
The educational and church papers
weight is about 800 pounds, leaving
the four local newspapers combined
1900 pounds to the REFLEcToR's 1928.
The weight Of single copies Of all
newspapers is practically the same.
1t may be added that the figures
given as to the total weight and the
REFLECroRs mailed are official and
can be verified by anyone who wishes,
either at this office or at the post
office. 1t makes some Pop papers
whine-because 1t hurts.

Here is beautiful chunk Of
nourishing truth from the Lawrence
Journal: "Kansas ought to give
10000 Republican majority this year,
and should elect every member Of
congress, every state officer and nine
tenths Of the members of the state
legislature. II she fails to do that, it
will be solely and only the fault Of
designing politicians who care more
for their own welfare than they do
for the success of their party. Such
men ought to have no place in the
councils Of Republicanism."

Calderhead and Pensions.

Congressman Calderhead was ont
Of the few who voted against the
clause in the pension bill that will
pension all rebels who deserted and
came over to the Union lines and
entered the United States service.
His reasons, like quite all that he
advances on any subject, are certainly
good.
Il voted against that clause" he
said, "because there can now be no
distinction between rebels who were
conscripted and went into the rebel
army and those who went willingly,
then deserted from time to time when
they thought the Confederacy was
failing, and enlisted in the Union
army for pay and for the purpose Of
getting something when the final
victory came. would be very glad
if the government could ascertain the
loyal men OF the South who were
forced into the rebel ranks and made
to serve under the penalty OF death,
the Confederate emblem, but who
escaped at the first opportunity and
Joined the Union army. That looks
to be an impossibility at this late
date, and yet they are the men whom
We would like to honor. | would
interpose no objection to pensioning
those men, but | do object most en-
TO the wholesale manner Of
doing it suggested by that section Of
the BILL"
Mr.. Calderhead is right. No repre-
sentative from this district ever did
more to secure pensions for Union
veterans and until these are cared
Tor the ex-rebel soldiers can wait.

The Chicago Herald Of Monday has
most vicious attack on the taxation
laws Of this State. These laws are
bad enough without disappearing
them. This article says that the
law in this State "provides that a
non-resident's mortgage shall be
taxed and residents mortgage shall
be exempt" Why a great Chicago
paper should make such an assertion
is beyond the ken Of the average per-
son. Kansas laws do not provide that
non-resident's mortgage shall be
taxed nor do they make a residents
exempt. The exact contrary is true.
There is no reason why mortgage
in the hands Of resident Of Kansas
should not be listed for taxation any
more than a COW or horse, and as a
matter OF fact it is intended to be
listed. On the other hand there is no
law that the mortgage held on Kansas
real estate by a resident Of some
other state should be taxed in this
state and it is not SO taxed. Indeed
the supreme court has decided that
pretended transfer by a resident Of
the State to nonresident for the
purpose Of evading the tax is null and
void. The entire article in the
Herald is based on the exact opposite
Of the facts in the case. Kansas
needs some good wholesome legisla-
ton on the taxation question. Too
much property escapes the assessor
now and something should be done to
remedy the situation Every mort
gage in the hands Of resident Of the
State should be listed for taxation,
without fear or favor. The outside
owner cannot be reached nor would 1t
be fair to tax him here and at home.
He should not however evade catch
ing it somewhere along the line.
Should the extreme demand OF law
making the mortgage void unless
listed for taxation be passed it would
only conflict with the existing con-
tract laws but make it impossible to
secure dollar Of outside capital FOL
investment here. Mortgage taxation
is problem that has puzzled older
and presumably wiser common
wealths than Kansas. 1t cannot be
decided off-hand. But that is no
reason why the Herald should print
about the existing condi-
tiOns.

The Methodist general conference
seems to have about as harmonious
and religious time as the average
political convention. Men are men in
every walk Of life and the human in
terest is as marked in the general
conference as elsewhere. The spec
tacle Of two bishops being retired
against their wills was in some re-
spects a sad one. Yet it was the
bishops faults. When man reaches
old age and has chance to be retired
on pension he is very foolish not to
accept with thanks.
