Ex-Governor Flower Says 1t Is Perfectly
just aud Proper.
New YORK, May 2.-Ex-Governoy
Roswell p. Flower, who is at the head
OF great enterprises which will have to
pay large sums of money under the
terms of the Ford franchise tax bill,
declares that he is in complete SYM
pathy with the object which that meas.
ure seeks to attain. Mr.. Flower said he
believed that corporations should be
allowed to make a stated reasonable
profit annually, and that they should
be required to pay additional taxes in
proportion as their franchises increased
in value. He believed, he said, in the
granting Of perpetual franchises under
these conditions, as capitalists would
then feel safe in investing great sums
in semi-public enterprises and the CITY
at the same time would derive greater
benefits in the same proportion as those
who hold the franchises.
Mr.. Flower said that the Justice of
taxing franchises had passed out of the
debateable stage and he believed the
directors Of street railroad. telephone.
gas, telegraph and subway companies
would be wise to pay willingly a fair
tax for the privileges they have been
given, to the city. Corporations have
nothing to fear from the Ford bill. Mr..
Flower declared, because the United
States supreme court in the Nebraska
decision established the fact that a cor.
poration could not be taxed out Of OK.

this important arrangement. 1t may be
stated that the highest official

set out in some Of the British news
papers that the United States has lost

shut against us. and that we have de-
served this exclusion by delaying to
substantially assist England in securing

been received from Russia that the

Tnerce in any portion Of China that may

The Farm Mortgage.

Many men have become so accustom ed
70 debt Of this kind shat 90 long as
they can manage with the greatest effort
to pay the interest they are content and
think they are doing fairly we'll The
thought of ever paying the principal is
beyond their highest ambition. Their
fathers lived and worked and died with
this same old mortgage, and they expect
to follow in their footsteps.O
Now the farm mortgage has come to
be considered as evil and only evil. But
to this statement l am prepared to take
exception, as mortgage is in many
cases q positive benefit. 1t enables a
young man without much money to gain
possession of q farm and create home.
II enables man to make improvements
by supplying him with the capital which
otherwise he could not obtain and which
he can use to good advantage in making
bis farm more productive and putting
himself in Q position TO make more
money.
The trouble is not with the mortgage,
but with the man. To some men it is
q bl essiDg-to others it is q curse.
Fer q man who has his farm clear Of
debt and is making comfortable liv-
ing, but who thinks he should dress his
family better, educate his children at
some fashionable boarding school or COL
lege, or have q nicer turnout on Sun
days, or who thinks the old house is not
quite fine enough. and looks to mort
gage as an expedient to furnish him the
needed money TO carry out these plans,
for such a man it is q dangerous and
foolish thing, for he thus voluntarily
burdens himself for fancied needs which
do not put him in position to make
more money out of the farm, but often
reverse, and he must spend more rather
than make more.
The ease with which money can be
borrowed is great temptation to some
men to mortgage their farms and squan-
der the money thus obtained in some
thing which they would be far better
without. So would say to the man
without mortgage, think more than
twice before you mortgage your farm
Perhaps that piece of land which you
are thinking Of buying would better be
left alone until you have the cash with
which to buy it.
Think Of the anxiety you may have
about meeting the payments as they be-
come due, and that it is better to live
along in the old way and be free of debt
than have q nicer house with this incu-
bus hanging over you.
To the man now struggling under a
mortgage would like to give little
encouragement If l were he would
try and invent some plan of making a
few extra dollars to pay on the principal
each year. because every dollar thus paid
lessons your interest payments. and it
is surprising how a few dollars thus
paid every year will tend to lessen the
load, besides the satisfying thought that
you are making some progress, even
though il may be small. Lyle Merton
