THE THIRD AMENDMENT.
B. T. Graves, of California, Writes the
Ledger Strong Letter
Favoring It.

B. +. Graves, of Santa Rosa, Cal,
well known to the readers of the LED
GER, writes the following letter in
reference to the California Mortgage
Law, which is the same as our Third
Constitutional Amendment:
To the Editor of the Ledger.
SANTA Rosa, CAL, Dec.--Dear Sir:
| received your letter several DAYS ago;
would have answered sooner, but was
unable to do SO on account of having
| a cataract cut off my eye and have had
a bandage on it for the last week. In
regard to the Mortgage Tax Law, it is
a very good thing for the man who
borrows the money. Their taxes are
paid whether they pay their interest
or not. So far as keeping out foreign
capital is concerned / DON'T know as 1t
does. 1t increases the INTEREST a little,
hardly so much as the taxes amount
to. Outside of the city the tax is
Sl.65; inside $3.50. The man that
loans the money has to pay these
taxes whether he collects his interest
or not. If | own a piece Of property
worth 5000 and you loan me 81, 900 on
it you are taxed $1,000 as personal
property. l am taxed $1,000 as real
estate. You will get your receipt and
| will get mine. If fail TO pay my
taxes it would be to your interest to
pay them for me. In regard to the
rate of interest we have no fixed rate.
l can borrow money on my note at
per cent, ON a mortgage not less than
10 per cent. in small amounts. Ihave
known men to pay as high as IL or Is
per cent. That is about all the infor-
nation | can give at present on this
subject. Business is fairly good in
California at present; prices are high
on nearly everything. Hoping this
information will be satisfactory,
wishing you merry Christmas and a
prosperous New Year, / remain, yours
truly, b. f. GRAVES.

Delivers Splendid Address at Fayette
On the Horse Breeding Industry"

The State Industrial Association OF
Missouri met in Fayette, on Dec. Il
and was largelyiattended. Hon. C.sF.
Clark, of Audrain county, delivered
the following. address on the "Horse
Breeding Industry"
In reviewing the horse breeding in
dustry, believe the last decade has
been the.most trying and Improbable
to the breeder, in a financial way, that
we have had in the century closing.
The unprecedented, abnormal and
inflated conditions Of the horse in.
dustry that prevailed ten to fifteen
years ago. was both dangerous to the
breeder and the horse. When we
could sell in the open markets, foI
cash, from sl00 to 81, 600 las we did a
few years ago. illshaped, dwarfy and
ungainly looking animals, that were
unfit to fill any respectable; place al,
lotted by civilized community, and
had nothing to recommend them save
the fact that we were able to trace
theif blood lines to some ancestor that
had trotted or paced mile in 2:25 OF
better; certainly the horse boom ran
high, and to the men alone who con-
verted their horse interests into cash
came wealth.
The horse business, like all others,
has had its food and its ebb tides, and
the higher the food the greater the
ebb must necessarily be to correspond.
During the decade just passing we
have gone through both, and from
each we have gathered lessons, which
if rightly applied, will place the horse
breeding industry and the horse on a
higher plane than ever before reached.
In this country we have amultiplici.
ty of breeds and types Of horses, and
among the most important are the
Thoroughbreds, English Hackneys.

THE CaTollton MOL Democrat edi.
torially says: Monday night the
concil passed an order directing the
marshal and police to have all slot ma.
chimes taken out of the business houses
and saloons. Also to suppress all the
gambling houses in the city and to see
that the law is enforced. The order
Is Of record and the whole matter is
now up to the marshal and police, who
act under the orders of the council,
The order was made at the request Of
"a committee appointed by the Min.
isters' Association, which appeared
before the council and asked that the
orders be made. Now the question is,
will the orders be enforced? Will the
council make It's paid employees dc
their dutyS The council is composed
Of men that do not act rashly and they
certainly will see that these orders are
carried out. The cause of this action
is due to the fact that gambling has
become 50 open and notorious in this
city that one can almost run against 1t
any place. The people Of the city
must uphold the council In their work
of Monday night or it will be fail.

hopes to make the business profitable
history teaches us that no man or as
sociation Of men has ever been able
to successfully establish distinct
breed of chickens, sheep, hogs, cattle
or horses without giving to that
breed distinction not known to any
other.
You may imagine from my remarks
that desire to criticise, to some ex-
tent, the American Trotting Register
and the National Saddle Horse As
sociation. / do not, only in this;
neither represent a well defined type
of horse, and they must come to that
or fall. Both of these registers are
valuable and almost indispensable tc
the breeders, for they are the only re
liable guide-post he has for his breed
ing future, in producing an American
horse, and If he disregards them his
efforts will fail sooner or later.
A breeder must have thorough
knowledge of the ancestors of his
breeding animals before he is capable
of mating them in an intelligent way
The old law Of breeding, that ''likt
| produces like or the likeness of some
ancestor" has stood the test for years
and it is the foundation and cornel
tone upon which every reedel
should build. But do not deceive
yourselves by thinking that at al
times you can depend upon producing
colts of the color, size and markings ol
the sire and dam, even if they resem
BILE each other in those particu
lars, for it all depends upon how fal
back the markings run ON both sides
Of the family.
If you can consult the register ant
find the maternal and paternal sidei
of the family extended back alike for /
number of crosses, you need not feal
any bad results, but if upon consulting
the register you find the ancestors un
like, you will be perfectly at sea ir
your breeding venture and cannot
figure with any degree Of certainty
what the product will be.

may be easily recognized by any one
familiar with these different breeds

more recklessly neglected by our home
breeders than any other one can i'm
agine. We have no general, well de-
fined ideas laid down by the pro-
moters of the two great American
horse products that will enable even
an expert to classify them as he meets
them on the public highways; for the
reason they are all shapes, 'colors,
STYLES, and have no uniformity of ac-
tion or size. The trotting bred horse
may do nothing but saddle and the
saddle bred horse may do nothing but
trot. So long as we allow these con-
ditions to exist we will be unable to
boast of any very marked degree of
advancement in establishing a dis
tinct type for the American Trotting
Horse or the American Gated Horse.
now desire to make astatement with
all the emphasis in my power, and
respectfully request each man who
hears it to consider it we'll. No breed
or type of horses will ever meet the
approval of a scrutinizing public until
they can be recognized and placed
where they belong without the aid of
certificate of registration from some
company, association or corporation

your work will become yialing monu-

tain If you heed these suggestlcnsa as II
is that night follows day and that
it should be such type as the markets
Of the world will most demand. Posi-
bly, it would be well to know what that
market is liable to be, for there must
be demand for product before the
business of producing it can be made
profitable, and in the way of explana-
tion | will here say that according to
the last report from the Department
of Agriculture, we had in the United
States on the lst day of January, 1900,
1857, ,542 horses, valued at s44.51 per
head; just sl3 more per head than they
were in 1897. The same report also
tells us that in 1898 we had 16, 6,208, s02
horses In the United States, nearly
100000 more than we had the first of
last January and our population had
/ increased about 100000 during that
period. From these figures we can
readily see that there has been a re-
duction of the horse stock in the
United States per capita, in the last
seven years, more than 25 per cent.
The displacement of horses by cleo
trio power was all done before 1898,
and wheels have been growing less in
favor every year, so we cannot give to
either of these two modern inventions
any credit of supplanting the use of
the horse since that date. This is not
all: we now have five times as much
demand for our horses from foreign
countries as we did seven years ago,
and you must also remember we can
not breed and develop horses for the
markets as we can hogs, sheep OF cat
tie, and that it takes six years to grow
and prepare horses before they can be
well placed. From the statement and
figures you can readily see that we, Of
necessity, are bound to have good
market for all our marketable horse
products for quite number Of years
to come. 1t is not only important tC
know that we will have good market
for our horses, but il is important fol
the Missouri breeders to know the
class and kind that are most sought
after at remunerative prices. All Of
our well established classes or types Of
horses have admirers and important
stations to fill, and it is not my mis-
sion to underate any of them, but
truly believe there is more demand al
good and liberal prices for the higf
class harness horse, Of good weight
and substance, from our home anC
foreign markets than there is for al
other classes combined. They are il
the greatest demand because they ar
our best American product, and vii
{ continue to be, for we have then
built upon the safest foundation.
When we use the term "high clasi
harness horse we do not necessarily
mean a horse that can trot in 2:S0 ol
better, and has probably had twice a
much money expended on him to edI
cate him to that point as he woulC
. bring in the open markets, but VI
