GEORGE w. MUNGER, of our county
and for a long time connected with the
Current Local, has received the ap-
polntment as private secretary to Con-
gressman Robb, and will leave for
Washington City about December LIST.
Mr.. Munger is a bright young attorney

to fill a prominent position in the field

Mr.. Munger, it will be remembered,
drew considerable attention to himself
early last summer in the Congressional
Committee proceedings. There was a
contest as to whether the nomination
of a candidate for Congress should be
made by convention or primary cleo
tion-the primary being Mr.. Robb's
own scheme. Carter county had in
structed Munger, as its committeeman,
to vote for a convention, and it was
generally understood his vote would
be given that way. When the com
mittee net it was found that, counting
Mr.. Munger's vote for convention, that
method of nominating would win by
one vote. But he surprised everybody
by ignoring the instructions that had
been given him and voting for a pri-
mary. His action was the more sur,
prising in hal the continued candida.

Robb's political endeavor.

A SPECIAL to the Kansas City Time

The adoption by the people of Mis-
souri, of all the proposed amendments
to the constitution by majorities larger
than were ever before given any
amendment has astonished the people
of st. Louis and has both pleased and
distressed them. Some of them are
sorely grieved over the third amend
ment, providing for the taxation of
mortgages, and the things they say
about ex-Representative Slate OF Maries
county would not look well in print.
1t is the unanimous opinion OF the real
estate agents, the trust companies and
the banks that the amendment will not
have the result of compelling money
lenders to pay the mortgage tax, but
will result in either the withdrawal OF
the money lenders from the state or
else they will compel the borrower to
pay the tax by increasing the rate of
interest or refusing TO extend or renew
the mortgage. St. Louis gave a good
round majority in favor of the mort
gage tax amendment, which is q great
surprise to the real estate agents
aforesaid. They are now. as agents
and representatives of financiers, de-
termined upon holding an indignation
meeting with a view of proceeding at
the earliest opportunity, to test the
amendment in the courts. just how
the courts are going TO o%verturn the
amendment is net at all clear. In the

Now that the ballots have been cast
and the thing may be done without
endaugering McKinley's chances of re-
election. the secretary of war will rec
ommend a permanent regular army of
100. 900 men. What the large army is
wanted for was suggested by Senator
Hawley on March 8, 1899, in a speech
before the Connecticut legislature.
among other things that great coun-
tries must think Of" he said, s'are the
wild, unreasoning Instructions and
mobs. 1t was a wise thing for the
merchants of Chicago t. give a tract
of land to the national government,
which fortified it, and it is now called
Fort Sheridan. We have heard of dis
turbances in Chicago. We hope, how
ever, that we shall never have any
again, but we know the best way not
to have them is to be prepared for
them. So | say, we shall need a
large army to stand back of municipal
authority. In the last resort, if a
single company of the blue coats
marches around the corner with their
steady, solemn steps, the mob dlsper-
ses because it knows they are men who
shoot when ordered to. 1t is simply a
business with them. No government
is free from the possibility of resorting
to force"

NOTHING is more contemplate than
the efforts of the Republican press,
big and little, to blacken the character
of the Hon. Webster Davis, and to de-
tract from the force of his abandon
ment of the party of trusts, fraud and
imperialism. The latest lie is to the
effect that before he went to South
Africa he had been notified that his
resignation would be accepted, and
that he 'swas allowed to hold bis Office

about Federal interference. which was

be sustained in large measure by evil

damages brought by the railroads
against the city and county. Ever

meantime the agents are '.just as mad

all kinds of cruel things that will hap

Now. what is the nature of this
amendment" that it should SO rouse
the ire of our moneyed lords and mas
tiers? 1t provides that where A bor-
rows from B. say. $500. securing the
debt by giving B a mortgage or deed
of trust on property assessed at $1,000,
then A will have to pay taxes only on
his remaining property interest of $500
and B will be required to pay taxes on
his $500 mortgage. Anything unjust
in this? When A transfers half his
farm either by mortgage or warranty
deed, ought he still be made to con-
tinue paying taxes on the whole pro-
perty? If B takes his $500 in money,
which is taxable, and invests it in in
terest-bearing mortgages ought it then
become non-taxable to himP This 1.-The
banks, the real estate and trust COM
paDies," with their peculiar, money
grabbing logic, seem to think would
be the correct thing. But why their
tremendous s'kick" against the amend
ment? It imposes no new burdens
on the lender and only relieves the man
who is forced to borrow. The law now
in force requires the borrower to pay
taxes upon the full assessed value of
the property he mortgages and also
taxes the lender to the amount he
loans. This is double taxation, and
the third amendment corrects this
wrong-this and this only. Then,
where is the milk in the lenders cocoa
nut where the crime against 1.-The
business interests which batten upon
the necessities of the borrower? If
they have been returning honest lists
to the assessor, if they have been pay
ing taxes upon their evidences of in
debtedness as the law now requires
and has always required. the third
amendment does not OBJECT them to the
value of one cent. Then where, we
again ask, is the trouble? AS 'sthe
business interests''-the men of ''the
real estate and trust companies"-are,
perhaps, too modest to answer the
query, permit the REGISTER to make
as fit reply as can be expected from
one not versed In the ms and outs, the
windings and intricacies, of business.
The sting of the third amendment lies
in this: it provides hat the amount
loaned shall, for taxing purposes, be-
come an undivided part of the proper
ty mortgaged, which property shall be
held for the axe due from the mort
gagee. Heretofore, a non resident
money-lender could hide his notes and
mortgages from the assessors eye, and
avoid taxation by merely perjuring
himself. Forbid that we should say
any money-lender in Missouri's proud
metropolis ever thought of doing such a
thing; still he might do so, and law is
intended to permit no unpublished
crime. But the REGISTER will wager
a nickel against the biggest real es-
tate exchange, the finest bank build
ing, or the most massive trust edifce
in st. Louis, that if any member of
'.the business interests ever did per-
jure himself to avoid contributing his
just proportion to the maintenance of

his demand for Gan honest dollar and

Aged Wcmen Lost Everything She

A case deserving of the most sincere
nifty WAS brought to the notice OF the
Herald this morning. 1t is another
case of an aged woman who lost all
her small fortune in the Galveston dis
aster and is now thrown out in the
world at he age of "A with no resources
but her feeble capacity for work.
The unfortunate woman is Mrs. Hol-
LON She was on her return from a
visit to- California when the storm
swept away most of Galveston and
when she returned there she found that
all she had on earth's stores had gone
to sea with the receding waters.
Left without any means of support
she left Galveston for more friendly
parts and arrived in FL Paso few days
ago. She is now looking for work but
to know that she has reached the ma
tured age of "A years is to know that
she is unable to earn a livelihood in
that way. Mrs. Clifford. at he Windsor
rooming house. was kin denough to
offer her a room last night but she is
in need of other things and the chart
tably disposed people of FL Paso can
do Il deserving deed by caring for her.
