THE PROPOSED MORTGAGE TAI.
SOME OF ITS EFFECTS POINTED OUT BY
THE SECRETARY OF THE TAX RE
FORM ASSOCIATION

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: 1 think The Tribune is performing a
great public service in pointing out so clearly
some OF the effects Of the very radical bin pro-
posed by the Joint Committee on Taxation.
There are some facts TO which I have not seen
any reference as yet.
Until the maturity OF the bonds of corpora
tions, affected by the tax on mortgages the tax
viii fall wholly upon present owners. Subse-
quent purchasers of the bonds will entirely
cape the tax because the market value of the
bonds viii Immediately fall by the capitalized
value Of the tax. When the bonds mature and the
debt is refunded when new loans are effected
the tax viii fall wholly upon the corporations
obtaining the loan In the case of all corpora
tions subject to the Special Franchise Tax it
seems hardship to impose upon them tax of
one-half Of 1 per cent upon their entire debt as
will be the case when their debt is refunded or
increased.
The committee assumes that there are debts
secured by mortgages on property in the State
of New-York to the amount of 100000 900.
1t is probable that this estimate is too low. In
1880 mortgages on acres and lots amounted to
$1,607. .ST4, ,301. The increase from 1880 to 1889
was 14S per cent. If this rate Of increase has
been maintained the mortgages on acres and
lots now amount to over So. 5O0.O0O000. It is
net probable that this has been the case. but
If the increase has kept pace with the increase
in the value of real estate this mortgage debt
must exceed $2O000O0O0O To this sum must
be added all the debts secured by mortgages Of
quasi public corporations. which amount to as
much as 500 100000
1t seems probable that the tax on mortgage
Indebtedness would raise $14 600 600 or $4,000
OuO, and the State would have a surplus of
S4.00O,O0O or S5O00OOO or more.
The bonds OF steam railroads affected by the
tax, amount TO nearly SSO0OO0OOO and the
average tax upon them would be a little over
quarter of 1 per cent. A large proportion of
these bonds will be subject to the full tax Of
five mills and some Of them will be subject to
so small percentage Of the tax as hardly to
pay for the annoyance and expense of collection.
The reason the tax will be less on some bonds
than others is that when the mOrtgaged real
estate is located both within and without the
State the tax will fall only upon that proper
tiou Of the debt which the value of the mort
gagged real estate within this State bears to the
value of all the mortgaged real estate.
On June 30. 1895. the bonds Of street railroads
both surface and elevated, amounted in the
aggregate to $191, 900, 900. Almost all of these
corporations subject TO the Special Fran
chise Tax, and when their debt is refunded the
mortgage tax win cost them 81 100000 annually.
This letter merely scratches the surface of one

attention. He spoke in part as follows
From the same regiment which gave another
Ohio President TO the Union and a Justice of
the Supreme Court of the United States, and
many other men of distinction TO public life,
there came another Ohioan, whose first term Of
Office is now drawing TO a close. AT the begin
ming Of his Presidential term he found con-
fronting him the growing irritation Of our rela-
tiOns with Spain, arising from the situation in
Cuba For many years this country had
dured on that island condition Of affairs de-
structive of the peace and liberty of its people
and invading in many directions the rights Of
the American people in their trade and com
merce as well appealing TO their sense Of
justice and humanity. Under Grant, the rupt-
ure was so near and seemed so inevitable that
the American Minister was about leaving
Madrid in view Of pending war. Under Mr..
Cleveland declaration had been made that the
time must be near at hand when the intolera-
bic character of the situation could no longer
be horne.
