on mortgages not to exceed one per
cent, and here an explanation which
Mr.. Dunn makes will be Of value to
those interested. AS the law is at
the present time, the taxation of
mortgages is generally avoided by
persons living outside the county,
and certainly entirely avoided by
persons living outside the State
wherein the mortgage is given. The
resident of a county holding mort
gage in that county is obliged to
pay taxes. The resident Of coun-
ty holding a mortgage in another
county of the State can escape the
tax if the assessor, is unable to as
certain that he is a.'resident OF the
State. The resident of another
State holding a mortgage in this
State is able to'avoid the tax under
the present law. Mr.. Dunn's idea
S to have a mamimum tax of one
per cent. on these mortgages; that
before the mortgage is recorded in
the office of the register of deeds,
the mortgagee shall be required to
call at the Office of.the county treas
urer and pay a tax of 'one per cent.
or less on the same. On a mortgage
OF 81 600 the mortgagee would thus
be obliged to pay a tax of so, pro-
viding the legislature should adopt
the maximum amount, but tax OF
oae-half or one-third OF one per
cent. could be provided for by the
legislature, and a mortgage run
ming from Que to five years might
be taxed in manner less proper
tionate- In this manner, the mort.
gagee residing in another State or
residing in another county OF this
State would be obliged to pay the
same tax that a mortgagee would
residing in the county where the
mortgage was given, and inasmuch
as the amount is very small no hard
ship would be done and at the same
time the State would undoubtedly
derive an income many times more
than it receives from the present
system of taxation Of mortgages.
Another very important sugges-
ton by Mr.. Dunn and which cer-
talnly must appeal to all classes. is
the one exempting household goods
to the amount of $3.50. This ex-
emption Mr.. Dunn would give to
only one member of every family
having household furniture for en-
listmeEt. Mr.. Dunn's theory is.
that the building upof homes should
be encouraged, and that the homes
of many laborers contain household
furniture valued at much less than
the amount which he would have.
exempt, aud consequently these
people would not be obliged to pay
any tax. On the other hand, it is
admitted that q fairly comfortable
home can be fitted up with $3.50
worth OF household goods, and
these homes would not be subjects
OF taxation by the State Still an
other feature that Mr.. Dunn pro

alton of the county is and then makes

the rate Of taxation. There are
those here, think, who have heard
these arguments against the bill who.
do not understand the situation
with regard to this. Now, let us
see what tax the farmer pays, to un-s
derstand the situation. The farmer.
pays his local tax in the first place.
That tax is a tax on his house, a
school tax and his own town tax
Now, tbatris local tax, and one
that has nothing to do with any
thing outside OF thatlocality. Then
and this is the bulk OF the tax the
farmer pays. Now, let Us see with
reference to that. We have then in
a certain community of farmers, Of a.
certain town. we have got to raise
so much money. Now, it may be
seen that under this law then, that
the farmers property will be raised

now with reference to his real es-
tate, not property which d good
many farmers may have of another
nature, that has nothing to do with
this. Now it doesn t make any diff
erence with that farmer whether
his property is assessed So per
acre or $50 an acre Let us 90
farther and understand this propo-
sition. The only other tax the
farmer pays is the county tax and
the State tax-that is all. The
county taxi think that you will
lind and the statement will here
after be made that the county tax is
little more than five mills to an
individual. We will state for in
stance that the county tax is five
mills. Now, taking throughout the

ertv then SO far the county tax
is concerned if the property we're

gle depositor in banks amounting
to $4OO or less should not be taxed
BY this feature he would protect
from taxation the deposits of
the middle AID poorer class that
are now in the banks OF the State
and more particularly the deposits
in the saving banks OF the larger
cities. This money, Mr.. Dunn con
tends, is money that is being saved
by these people for the purpose of
preparing for themselves a home,
or for investment in some manner
that will lead to greater values; and
it is the duty of the State to encour-
age progress, prosperity and thrift
among its people; and it should not
place a tax upon this spirit. Mr.
Dunn would also exempt all bonds
OF the State, counties, townships,
ETC., from taxation. Mr.. Dunn S
remarks we're listened to by fully
as large crowd as were those by
Mr.. Purdy, and coming from resi-
dent and one OF the principal off
GERS OF the State, they commanded
unusually close attention aud
brought forth considerablea applause.
There is no doubt but what Mr..
Dunn S remarks will be the means

posed tax code, but none of these
changes are likely TO be in opposi-
tion to the objects of the tax commits

! G. S. Ives. one of the commission
ers, speaking about the cry on be-
half of the poor farmer, said to the
committee:
Now. as to the taxation of the
farmer. It seems to me that that
is important, and 1. desire to saw
with reference to this section that
it issnot question here as to what
interests are affected in the passage
OF this law. The question is, what
is right. If the farmers are not. or
any individual farmer is not paving
the amount of taxes he should nav.
then he.should be called upon to
pay it. There is no question about
that. there have beenno arguments
produced with reference to that. tt
seems to me that in the manner in
which this bill has been prepared
and under all circumstances it will
not bear iniuriousiy upon agricul-
turai interests of that State. I de-

SERIOUS-MINDED DRUMMERS.
Many Are Reported to Re Converted by Their Customers in the
 Country Towns.

"The sights" said a salesman in the wholesale district, relates the New York Sun, "that many country mer- chants want to see most of all when they come to town are the preachers whose sermons they have been read ing in their home papers. To hear with their own ears one of those preachers deliver a sermon is the greatest pleas ure they look forward to from their trip to New York.
 'That is one evidence of the greater hold religion has on peoples lives out in the country than in the city. An other evidence, more curious to me, is the way this hold spreads to conn mercial travellers.
 "'Of course most sensible people recognize the absurdity of the pie ture drawn sometimes of the drum mer which represents him as jolly dog whose life is a round of pleas ure and dissipation. It is obvious that headed, hard-working fellow. But people generally do not appreciate how many drummers are sincere, con- sistent church members.
 And this. too. under conditions of constant travelling which might be ex- pected to root out all church-going tendencies. The fact might be con- sidered all the stranger as many of them start out as habitual nonchurch- goers.
 Some of them get into the church going habit while stopping over Sun day in small towns where there is nothing to do on Sunday besides go- ing to church. They get interested in religion and end up by becoming church members.
 'Very many are really converted by town who is prominent in business is apt to be prominent in his church and to talk about it and about religious matters in the course of the social conversations he may have with drum mers who call upon him.
 ''If the country merchant is a man of fine character, and good many of them are, he is pretty apt to make an impression upon his hearers. Then, are influenced in part also by business considerations in changing their views on church going.
 ''Whatever the causes may be, the fact remains that a great many com | mercial men start out with no 1hore | interest in religious matters than the average New Yorker and wind up by becoming faithful church members. And in bringing. about the change the country merchant seems to have more influence than anything else I know l of"
