As to Double Taxation"

Among the overcoming subjects of
proposed legislation, measures for the
remedy of what, in the discussions of
the subject, is denominated "double
taxation y, appear as regularly as the
biennial assembling of the legislature.
Investigation of the subject has inva-
riably resulted in the defeat or with.
drawal of the bills presented for the
readjustment of the relation of money
lender and borrower, in respect of tax
alton of mortgages, but new crop of
Lawmakers springs up every two years
and " campaign of education is as
often made necessary.
In its simplest phase, the question
presents itself in the shape of money
lender and an impecunious purchaser
of real estate who secures the money
lender by mortgage. The parties to
the purchase sustain the relation of
mortgageor and mortgage. Existing
law taxes the real estate to the mort
gageor at its full value in money, and
also taxes the note to the mortgage.
This, it is maintained, is unjust and to
the mortgageor is hardship from
which he should be relieved to the ex-
tent of the mortgage debt. To relieve
this hardship is the object of the legis-
lation that has been so frequently pro-
posed. The relief commonly provided
is to consider the mortgageor and mort
gage joint owners of the mortgaged
property, and to tax the former for his

The significance of the result of the
recent election, and its moral, is not
found alone in the states that have
chosen Mckinley electors, or in the
monumental size of some of those ma
jortes. Iu the greatly reduced vote
of those states that have adhered 10
Bryan, and which have been the rock
ribbed strongholds of democracy, is a
circumstance only second in impor-
lance to the general result. Nor is the
magnitude of the victory TO be est-
mated solely by the size of the electoral
majority. The magnitude of the popu
lar vote for the principles of which
Mckinley is the representative, ex-
ceeding by round million that of his
leading competitor, will make him pres
ident by virtue of preference that
outranks and overtops, in moral
weight, the verdict of the electoral COL
lege.
The election of Major Mckinley is
supplemented by the choice of house
of representatives that, by large ma
jority, will be in sympathy with his adj
ministration. All the indications point
to harmony in every branch of the gov
eminent by the election of senators
that will give the republicans prepon-
derauce in the upper house of congress

that will be increased and enforced by
the decisiveness of the popular con

States, there will be in all the depart
ments of the general government /" a

always comes to pass under those con-
ditions. The grand old Ship of State
