STATE OF MISSOURI,

Now the amendment proposes that
the holder Of the mortgage shall pay
the tax upon it in this State and will
not allow him to contract with the
borrower that he will pay It, but 1t
does not provide that the lender shall
not increase the rate Of interest, nor
could any such law be adopted that
would affect the foreign lender.
Interest is simply the rent Of cap
ital and II the tax Upon the capital is
doubled the rent is increased as the
burden is increased upon the capital.
This is well illustrated in Government
bonds not taxed as they universally
bear a lower rate OF interest than
loans subject to taxation.
So the inevitable effect Of the adop-
ton OF this amendment will be either
the withdrawal Of foreign capital
from the State or an increase Of the
rate Of interest thereby producing a
condition exactly the opposite Of which
was intended by its advocates. The
foreign lender will not profit by the
law, for he viii simply increase the
interest rate to an amount sufficient
to pay his additional taxation. But
the resident lender, already taxed
once and whose taxes viii not be in
creased as will those Of the foreign
lender, viii be enabled to raise the
rate correspondingly with the foreign
lender and thereby be the real gamer
under the operation Of the law.
II Is no answer to say the rate Of
interest is fixed by law. The foreign
lender is not to be controlled by the
rate for he can find other places TO
make his loans and while only the
maximum rate is fixed by the law, the
market rate at this time is much be-
low that
The maximum rate In this State is
8 per cent, while the prevailing rate
is from 4 to ! per cent, depending, Of
course, always upon considerations Of
risk, the supply and demand, etc.
An article on this subject appeared
In last Sundays Republic that should
be read by every voter Of the State.
Ii was written by Mr.. Frederick N.
Judson, one Of the ablest lawyers and
thinkers Of Missouri and who has
made a special study Of taxation. His
conclusions are against the adoption
Of the amendment
The proposed amendment is taken
from the Constitution Il California
is in the exact language Of the Cali
fomian provision, except that 10
this, ii is proposed that the owner Of
the property and the security shall be
assessed upon terms OF equality. This
addition is made doubtless In recOgni-
tion Of the well known practice Of
assessing property at a fraction Of its
value. This being its purpose, notes
secured by mortgages subject 10 taxa
tion in this State win be assessed at a
fractional valuation, IS lands nov are,
thereby permitting the best invest
Mexico weekly ledger., 1900-10-25

ments having a commercial value and
a currency which lands do not have tC
escape their just share of taxation.
That part Of the amendment pro.
viding against the shifting OF the tax
from the lender to the borrower is
word for word taken from the Cali.
fornia law. There it is successfully
evaded by an independent contract
between the parties wherein the Dor.
rover, for asmall consideration agrees
to pay the tax upon the interest Of
the lender In the property given as
security and this contract is upheld
by the highest court OF that state as
being in harmony with the general
law Of contracts.
A rule Of law is that If one state
adopts ths law Of another state, il
adopts with it the judicial construc-
ton Of the state from which il Is
taken. That being the case, that
portion Of the amendment making
provision against shifting the tax
from the mortgagor to the MORTGAGE,
will at once be a dead letter, as
doubtless the money lender OF Missouri
will be as vlgilant in contriving eyas-
ions Of the law as the money lender Of
California has proven to be.
Under TIE law as it now Is the
property il taxed without deduction
for mortgages and also taxes all mort
cages belonging to citizens Of this
State whether the evidences Of the
debt be within OF without the State as
well as all debts unsecured.
This proposed change will create an
inducement for men TO mOrtgage their
property.
II A has $1,000 worth OF property
assessable value he may mortgage It
for that amount and escape taxation,
while B who has 1000 worth may
borrow a like amount without a
mortgage, but will not escape taxa
ton.
To treat all alike, II this amendment
becomes the law, the taxpayer should
: be allowed TO deduct from the value
Of his property all debts owing by
him and unsecured notes, stocks and
bonds - all obligations should be
listed at a reduced valuation.
The theory Of taxation is that
things, not persons, 7 taxed and
that every person should contribute
10 the support Of the government as
nesrly as possible In proportion 10 his
ability and the revenue he enjoys un-
der the protection Of the State.
The conclusions are inevitable that
the adoption Of the amendment will
produce:
lSt-Inequalityof taxationcequali-
ty being one Of the fundamental
principles u taxation.
2nd-As 70 mortgages owned by
citizens Of other States, on property

Writes an Open Letter On Cunstitu-
tionsl Amendment Eo s.

To the Editor OF the Republic. St Louis No.
MEXICO, No, Oct 1a-Dear Sir In
the editorial columns Of your paper Of
the 18th inst, you, under the heading
OF Mortgage Taxes discussed pro
posed Constitutional Amendment No
3 relating 10 taxation that is TO be
voted upon at the coming election.
To my mind you were very unfair
in your discussion and did not truly
represent that amendment, either IN
letter or spirit You said that 1t
might often happen that the land and
mortgage together would be taxed at
twice the original assessment OF the
land. Certainly, you would have not
made that statement II you had care
fully read the proposed amendment
for 10 plainly states that "a mortgage,
deed Of trust, contract or other obli-
cation by which a debt Is secured,
shall, for the purposes Of assessment
and taxation, be deemed and treated
as an interest in the property affected
thereby
1t is as plain as the English Ian
guage can make it, that the amend
ment is but to declare that when
there is a debt against real estate or
personal property and secured by
deed Of trust " mortgage that such
property for the purposes OF taxation
is owned by two parties and each as the
amendment recites shall be assessed
on terms equally fair and just Instead
Of the poor oppressed lender OF money
being injured by this amendment as
you seem to feel he viii be, and shift
his burdens upon the borrower; he is
protected and viii pay less taxes than
he does under the present law, IL he is
an honest man and does not perjure
himself on every visit OF the assessJf.-
II the holder Of notes secured by deed
OF trusts orgSJrtgage comply with the
Pessht law and pays his taxes, or the
full face value Of his notes, and the
borrower is bound by the same law to
pay all the taxes, on the property
pledged for the payment of those
notes making a double taxation,
which is to my mind unjust and
nothin more OF less than legalized
robbery.
This proposed amendment is for nc
other purpose than to equitably ad'
just this matter and have the debtor
and creditor placed ON terms that are
equally fair and just
l am not opposed to capital, nor DE-
| wish to see it oppressed or discrimi
mated against in the matter Of taxa
ton, nor in any other way, but i an
opposed to the idea of the debtol
classes carrying the burdens thai
should be borne by the creditoI
classes. This condition has been con
tinued in this State for eighty year
and 1t is unnecessary to continue thi
robber game longer. Hoping you will
see fit to give this letter publication
in your columns, l remain, respect
full, G. f.. CLARK
Mexico weekly ledger., 1900-10-25

other States there can be no assess
ment ION terms equally fair and just, y
between the owner of the security and
the owner of the property. These
mortgages, as now, will continue to be
assessed at full value.
4th-It will increase the rate of In
terest even though some of its terms
may be successfully evaded.
5th-If all property be assessed at its
full value it will increase the taxation
Of the borrower.
6th-If the pledged property be as
sessed at a fraction Of its value as
now, the notes and credits will be as
sessed below their present valuation
and the State will lose in revenue.
7th-The local money lender will be
the sole beneficiary and not the
borrower, for whom the amendment
is proposed. Very respectfully,

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Dead wood may be cut out at any
tiHe. -.
Lime broadcasted under the trees is
never wasted.
About the only objection to low
branching trees is that they largely
prevent cultivation.
. The orange colored rust on raspberry
and blackberry bushes is a fungus
which spreads rapidly if left undis-
turbed. Digging up and burning all
affected bushes is the only safe rene
dy.
Without the assistance Of the friend
ly birds in the warfare against inju-
rious insects all efforts to raise good
fruits would end in failure. They are
needed to destroy pests that injure
fruits.
1t is not best to cultivate the orchard
too late in summer. If necessary for
any reason to stir the soil, work only
the surface. as deep stirring at this
time aids to dry 1t out. The new
growth of wood. too. must have time
to mature.-St Louis Republic.
