2nd. While the earning power OF
their moneys by this favored COMPETE
ton, is brought down by these starv-
ing rates, the law lays upon these
classes of her citizens double burdens OF
taxation, and follows them with
ferret laws, and heavily bribed spies,
and bitter penalties. And yet every
dollar loaned by widow to help a
man buy farm, or a merchant to
build store, or fsmily to build a
home, or manufacturer to prosecute
his business, is represented in the
taxes levied upon that farm, that store,
that home, and that mandatory
taxes that cover in each of these pro.
perties all the money put in by the
owner and by the loaner. Surely to
tax that money in the hands of the
property owner, and also in the
hands of the money loaner is double
and unjust taxation.
A good exemplification of this was
recently shown in certain incident
under the ferret law of this state. A
widow was left farm by her deceased
husband. She managed it until her
son became of age when she concluded
to turn it over to him. But to protect
herself the mother took mortgage for
the purchase money. OF course the
whole property involved was annually
taxed and the taxes collected. But
the law of Iowa gave the ferret the
right to tax the mortgage to the widow
for five years, and he proceeded to
do so. Here the doubling of property
values, purely by the fiat of the law,
and simply for taxation, is apparent to
The dullest perception. But if equity
in this case was surely violated, it is
equally so in every other case where
the mortgage and mortgagor are both
taxed on what represents the same
money.
3rd. If the widows money is in
vested in the stocks of foreign corporal
ions whether transportation or indus
trial, the inequity is the same. The
transportation company may have
lines in this state, and pay taxes i'm
every country through which these
lines pass. All its visible property
may be taxed in the state ia which the
company is chartered. 1t may paw
taxes mounting into the millions, les
SEEMING the dividends to the widow
stakeholder, and yet the law of Iowa
says the stock of that company in the
hands of the Iowa widow, or other
holder shall pay full taxes upon the
market value of that stock, in utter
disregard of the taxes paid by the com
pany itself. At the present time any
good corporation stock, paving per
cent. regular dividends, is worth bar

It would be assessed at par. The

Des Moines, Ia, Mich. S.-The mem
