Dill IN its present form We have al

ought not to be any tax upon mortgages

tion and is essentially unjust. Boards Of
assessment in this city and throughout
the State have up to within comparatively
recent time recognized this injustice: and
though The law nominally considers mort
cages as personal property and holds them
SUBJECT TO taxation. the assessors have
almost invariably declined to include mort.
cages In making up the tax levy.
Ihe only fact which palliates the Stranahan
Mort tgage Tax bill is that in this city, Of least
during the last year. mortgages have been
taxed TO great degree, the taxation arts

or the city and from the necessity Of enlarg-
Ing the range Of taxable personal property

Mr.. johnson of New York,

inclines to believe that the great states
man and trolley builder. AL JOHNSON, ia
right In saying that It's proposed legis-
latlon Is full OF Jobs. and is bad from be-
ginning to end. il will be because Mr.. JoHN-
SONS remarks are more entertaining than
those Of the boards President. There Is
no other reason.
Mr.. ORR has none OF the light touch that
marks the literary productions OF the big
brother of Cleveland's Mayor, and tho ut
terances that came from the commission
on the subject OF legislation last week were
foggy. There was nothing foggy about Mr..
JoHNsoN's statements, except his facts.
Mr. JOHNSON says that the bill now pend
Ing will result in great damage to the city.
and great benefit to the contractor for the
tunnel Mr.. ORR SAYS that the bill pro-
tects the city absolutely, and that the fail
ure 10 enact II will be a severe blow 10 all
progress in the development Of the rapid
transit system that the board hopes TO
see throughout the city. Mr.. JOHNSON has
carried on his investigations in the glare
OF the limo light. The board has worked
in executive session. Mr. JOHNSON has a
grievance. The board looks on him as a
nuisance. Probably he Is. But he Is more
amusing than the board.
The bill is not the evil Mr. JOHNSON
says II Is. nor can We believe that is pas
sage Ia positively essential TO the tunnel.
But whether 1t passes or not Mr.. ORR is
certainly not as Mr.. JoHNsoN suggests
that he may be, two elephants.
