California had years before adopted a
constitutional provision that real
estate mortgages shall be assessed TO
the owner of the mortgage and the
assessed value of the real estate
reduced by an amount equal to the
mortgage: that Missouri after investi-
CATION had adopted a similar conStitu-
tiunal amendment; that the claim
made that the Califf rnia law had
increased the interest rate in that
state was answered by the census
report, which shows that the interest
rate in California is lower than in the
adjoining states where they have no
such law.
| favored then and [ favor now the
taxation of mortgages against the
owner Of the mortgage, and an amend
ment to the law which shall require
the assessor to deduct from the
ass aSSed valuation Of bis mortgage aS
G n interest in the land and when SO
taxed it should not be otherwise taxed,
for no man should be twice taxed on
the same property.
With the complete enforcement OF
the law taxing mortgages and with
the enactment of law relieving the

gage, | believe all controversy respect

| Such a law [ hope to see passed at the

the presentation of the needs ofthe
various heather countries abroad,
many letters from missionaries
being read. The object was to
turn the eyes and thoughts of the
young people to these fields with
view, after their years of prepara-
ton are over to giving their lives
to them. We were much favored
by the presence of Prof w. E.

teacher among the Chinese in
Honolulu, and who gave us much

afternoons and evenings to study
