Taxation of MORTGAGES.

The legislature has passed the Lowry
Ward mortga 20 taxation bill and it will be.
come law If the governor signs it, which
he probably will do. We have not seen the
full text of the bill but it provides that
mortgages shall be taxed in the township or
city where the mortgaged property Is situat-
ed, and that the amount of the mortgage
shall be deducted from the value of the
premises. Heretofore, under the present
law, the premises have been taxed full value
and the mortgage has also been taxed at
its face, thus collecting double taxation
every year upon the same property. This
Is a step In the right direction. 1t is an
open question whether 1t would not be
better for the country to exempt mortgages
entirely from taxation, whether 1t would
not result In lower interest and greater de.
velopmsnt OF the country, and be easier on
the borrower. Many think so. Surely
there has been no valid excuse for the law
tia. collected double taxation.

Report of Game Warden's Office.

Lansing, Mich, May 16.-Chairman
G.. L. Mason, of the special committee
appointed by the house to investigate
the accounts and expenditures of the
state game and fish warden and his
chief deputy, has completed a report
which has been signed by the other
members, Rep. Colby, however, adding
Il note setting forth certain paragraphs
in which he does not concur.
The report starts out with the state
ment that the affairs of the department
have been conducted in q very unbusi-
ness-like manner, the expenses of
previous wardens were given to show
that those of the present incumbent
were doubled over those of Game
Warden Osborn, the average for each
month of Morres administration being
Sl,249.23. Still the work was appar-
emily of the same amount and character.
The committee alleges that it was
very difficult to secure possession of
BOOKS and files from the game warden,
and that when a number of vouchers
were given the committee, they con-
tanned nothing to show for what pur-
pose they were written. 1t was found.
the report says, that Sc. 900 worth of
property had been seized by the warden
and his deputies, but not one dollar of
such property has been turned into the
state treasury, nor does the warden's
report show any account of it. The
wArdens "private" books, however,
stated simply that S4,700 worth of pro-
perty had been destroyed.
Although the law allows salary of
So, 600, and requires the warden to de.
vote all his time to the duties of his
Office, the report states that he conducts
an insurance business in Portland, but
charges the Office rental to the state.
The committee believes the warden
and deputies should not charge railway
fare TO the state when they ride on
passes. nor when they receive mileage
as witnesses in court.
As an instance of the creation of every
possible expense by the department, the
following is set forth: "The chief dep
uty lives in the city of Grand Rapids,
and the street railway runs very near
his home, to all the railway stations
in that city, but his bills show that he
leaves before breakfast, summons bus
TO convey him to the station, and
promptly seeks chair car, even though
the distance Travelled permits such
luxury for only few minutes"
Some of the items of the warden's own
expenses made it appear TO the commit.
tee that the hotel bills and car fare were
unreasonable, inasmuch as it was testi.
fed that he was in his office about two.
thirds of his time.
The expenses of the c hief deputy
averaged S11.54 for each working day,
and the committee recommends the
abolishment of this Office.
The committee recommends that the
game warden be required tp keep an
itemized account of money! received
from con6scated goods, and turn IL into
the treasury, that the number of state
deputies be limited to four, and that
new blank for presentation claims 10
the board of state auditors, be provided.
The report has not yet been sub
mitted.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1901-05-17

The legislature has done quite the proper
thing in passing the bill providing for COM
pensation for the members of the state
board of auditors. 1t Is certainly to be
hoped also that the governor will sign the
bill and indeed there is little reason to doubt
that he will do so. The state board of
auditors Is made up of the secretary of
state. the state treasurer, and the COM
missioner of the state land office, Offices
which carry the misery salaries of $500,
81, 200, and $500 respectively. Within
recent years the work which has been put
on the board of auditors has been greatly
increased and there is 70 reason for keeping
the salaries of these offices at the above
ridicuousy low figures. By the terms of
the bill the salaries Of these officials will be-
come 50, 600 to SO, 500 but this is partly Off
set by the fact that the expenses of the
auditors will hereafter be paid by them
selves whereas they have heretofore been
paid by the state. Even with this measure
passed and signed, as it surely should be,
there will be the unpleasant thought that
there are still two important state offices
which have a salary of the same low figure,
viz, attorney general and superintendent of
public instruction, and someeway should be
discovered for making those salaries too
somewhere nearer what they should be.

Three hundred employees in the Wash
ingtoD, Pa, lead pipe works began work
this week at an advance in wages, the full
amount which they had asked for having
been granted by the company. Requests
for advances in wages are evidently more
easily granted during period of prosperity
when there Is money with which to pay the
laboring man than they are during the kind
of times which the people have been forced
to associate in their minds with democracy.

The TIMES Is very decidedly of the
opinion that not dollar OF city money
should be expended this year in the pur-
chase of land to be used for market site,
and hopes the members of the council will
take the same view of the matter aud in
definitely postpone action upon the resVlu-
ton pending in the council. Neither
should dollar of Indebtedness be incurred
for such a purpose. Better by far use
every dollar available to reduce the
indebtedness of the city and thus tighten
the tax rate.

has suddenly ended when scarcely half the

land. The dispatches OF this morning give
little hope ;or Mrs. McKinley's recovery
and the hearts of the American people beat
with q subdued and sympathetic pulsation
as they await the dreaded news. So close
together come some OF life's greatest joys

Following up the announcement OF the
apprehension felt in Germany at the grow

the manufacturing world, which was COM
mented upon editorially few weeks ago in
this paper. there now comes the announce.
negotiating with the view of forming a
European league to the better enable them
to resist American competition. Even after
they have formed the league howe yer,
il they succeed in forming it, they will
find that they have not the brains and
ability of the American laborer III their mills
and beside their machines. The American
manufacturer has as yet little to fear from
any such combinations. In the best
methods and finest machinery known in the
industrial arts, and best Of all In the in
telligent and educated American laborer, he
has an advantage over the combined Euro
pean manufacturers which mere leagues of
European countries cannot very seriously
affect. At the same time he should be
prepared for anything which may affect
our markets and the officials of the state
department and congressman should be
alive to the possibilities OF concerted action
against the interests of this country, and
ready to take such measures as may best
protect our interests in case of any such
attack. At present Germany, and evidently
all Europe, Is afraid of us-which indicates
that they admit that we have the advantage
now. And we are going to keep 1t, too.

Whether the voters of the city would
have voted as they did Tuesday on the
paving proposition had the matter been put
before them with frank statement that
the street was TO be paved with cedar block
pavement or was to be macadamized Is
something OF o question. At all events
they voted by well enough defined
majority against increasing the bonded in
debtedness of the city ia the sum of twenty
three thousand dollars this year-without
any guarantee that they would not find
even tina. amount falling far short of paying
for the work undertaken under the authority
given by the vote. There is no question
Obut that the tax for putting down an ex-
. pensive pavement from the Main street
bridge to the Michigan Central station
would amount to almost confscalion of
the property of some of the residents on
that street besides being welghty addition
to the bonded indebtedness of the city
which Is not as light as 1t might be at the
present time. THE TINES believes that
there was not however disinclina,ion on
the part of the voters of the city to put a
reasonable amount OF the city's money into
the improvement of West Main street but
rather feeling that they did not want to
put the money in on any indefinite propo.
sltion and did not want 10 60 to heavy ex-
pense for a high priced pavement for that
long street. THE TINES believes that
proposition to macadamiz, the street would
have carried. And 1t also believes thar
taking all things into consideration tina
would have been by far the best proposition
TO have made. A macadamlzsd street
would have cost enough, and 1t would have
made West Main street q thing of beauty
100.

President Mckinley evidently forgot
when he planned his western trip that
many of the Rough Riders were recruited
from New Mexico and neghboring states
and territories. Teddy was the only person
anyone cared to see, besides the President,
and while it was something of joke on the
presidential party that the Vice President
should be DANGEROUSLY called for at some of
those stations, there was only the kind'iest
feeling all arOund-both between the Presi-
deat and Teddy, and between the admirers
of Teddy and the President. The hearts of
the Rough Riders are big enough to take in
both, and besides they will have the Oppor-
tuuiiy OF meeting their sturdy Colonel next
month at their reunion anyway.

The result OF the election in the fourth
ward was something of surprise to every
one. However Alderman Densmore will
make as good a representative for the
minority party in the council as the party
could have found, Besides 1t will break up
one democrat In the council. The result is
something of joke moreover on the repub-
lican candidate who with bis friends were
so certain of the result that they talked in @
very generous and confident way OF some
means Of keeping the republican majority
down TO figure which would not be dis
couraging to NJ. Densmore.
