LOWER INTEREST FOR THE FARNEI

One Of the best gifts that the legislature
could make TO the farmers of this State
would be Senator Stranahan's bill imposing
recording tax on all mortgages in place Of
the present system, which results in taxing a
few mortgages at various local rates There
seems TO be fear the part Of some repre-
sentatives from rural districts that II they SUD-
port this measure their action will be misun-
derstood by their constituents, and that the re-
moval of mortgages from the sphere OF direct
general property tax will be regarded as a
movement in the interest of money lenders and
capitalists. We do not believe however. that
any borrower on the security of farm lands
who fairly investigates the subject and refuses
10 be deluded by surface appearances will fail
TO discover that he and his neighbOrs have far
more TO gain than the capitalists from an equal
ization of mortgage taxes. For our part, we
do not believe in the principle Of mortgage tax
alton, but the tax proposed by Mr. Stranahan
is so vast an improvement on the present lack
of system, which taxes few owners Of mort
cages almost TO death, while letting the great
majority go scot Free that we are willing TO
accept the compromise out of regard for prac-
teal Justice to the most helpless class of prop
erty owners, the widows and orphans who
| must live on the income Of investments which
the present tax may at any time halve
If the danger of local taxation were removed.
| borrowing would be easier. This is the deliber-
| ate Judgment of experts who look at the sub
| Ject from the farmers not the bankers point
! OF view. Probably no member Of the legislat-
IRE more truly represents the rural sentiment
than Mr. Aids, of Chenango Yet he was a
| member of the Joint Tax Commission of 1900
and Joined in recommending the original Mort.
gage Tax bill, OF which the pending measure
is modification. The essential feature of both
bills was that mortgages were removed from
| loel hit or miss taxation and subjected to a

UTILITY IN STREET SIGNS.

Public opinion will probably be somewhat d.
vided between the ground taken by the Mayor
and Controller on the one hand and the Pres-
dent of the Borough Of Manhattan on the
other concerning street signs. Mr. Cantor re-
ported to the Board OF Estimate and Apporton-
ment that he had prepared TO purchase 300
illuminated signs at 81 30 EACH the maintenance
Of which would cost about $4,000 a year. Mr.
Grout objected to this cost, and remarked that
unilluminated signs-metal tablets on buildings
would be as good rs Illuminated ones, and
their cost would be nominal. Mr.. Low also
raised the question whether the signs proposed
by Mr.. Cantor would not be needlessly expen-
Sive
There be little doubt we believe that
illuminated signs are decidedly preferable to
uniuminated ones. An unilluminated sign can
not easily be read at night and II it be placed on
the corner Of a building. unless It is Of huge and
unsightly proportions, II cannot be read from
the middle Of the street, being too far away.
At the same time It does not seem wise to ex-
pend large sum Of money simply for illuminat-
ing signs in addition TO ordinary street lighting
What New-YOrk needs is plain, simple durable
street signs on lamps at street corners. The
existing lamps, both gas and electric, should he
utilized for the purpose. Put signs on them, and
the work will be done at no extra cost for
illumination.

nearly all comes from the United States"
In the year 1893 United States exports TO
Cuba were S23,604,O94, showing a gain under
reciprocity of about 100 per cent In four years.
In 1894 reciprocity between the United States
and Cuba was abolished, and still remains abol-
ished
In the fiscal year ending on June so. 1901.
United States exports to Cuba were S2S.475, 002.
In the same year the exports of other countries
to Cuba We're S37, 500, GAS. Instead of 'practi-
cally supplying all the wants Of the island" as
1t had done under reciprocity, the United States
supplied only 43 per cent.
Moreover in 1901. the United States sold Cuba
81 per cent less than in 1900 while Germany
sold her 29.4 per cent more.
Farmers in this country will be interested to
know that we are supplying Cuba with only
one-third Of her animals and animal products.
Manufacturers will be interested TO know that
we supply her with only one-third of her boots
and shoes.
In brief. our exports to Cuba are steadily and
rapidly decreasing, almost steadily and rapid
ly as they increased under reciprocity.
What are our industrial and commercial men
going TO do about It? Let themselves be en-
tirely excluded from markets which they once
almost monopolized?
The way to regain and to hold those markets
is the same as that by which they were gained
dozen years ago. and the name of the way is
Reciprocity.

conferred with the chief sanitary in

matter, and was advised by the latter
officer to consider the vessel under
these circumstances as suspicious and
to remand the vessel, therefore, in &C
cOrdance with the quarantine regula-
tions of Nov. 10, 1899, to the nearest
station provided with the proper appar-
atus of disinfection of such vessels,
this station being the South Atlantic
quarantine at SapelO Sound, Ga. This
action was taken and the vessel, while
sent to the South Atlantic as sus-
picious vessel, was treated with as much
leniency as could be accorded to a YES
sci classed as suspicious.
''The vessel, in not obtaining Unit
ed States bill of health from Santos
violated the provision of the law of
Feb. Is. 1898, for which violation a fine
of $1,000 is provided by said law, and
the fact that this was done very natur-
ally raised a suspicion in the minds of
the quarantine officers with regard to
the port of departure, Santos, if not to
the sanitary condition of the vessel it.

A postotfice inspector will likely visit
Waldo county before long at the request
of Gov. Burleigh to look into several
pending postal matters. One of these
is the establishment on the island of
Islesboro of a rural free delivery route.
A large petition for this service has
been received here. and with it well
drawn map of the island and of the
proposed route. Gov. Burleigh recent
ly secured an extension of the rural
free delivery route at Searsport and. if
possible, he would like to get it also for
Winterport, where route was ordered
Partridge, who was the first to petition
for the original free delivery route out
of Searsport, wrote to Gov. Burleigh
some time ago about the extension of
the route at that place The inspection
was promptly made and the service
ordered in quick time by the postofice
department.
The controversy between the Mount
Waldo Granite Company and the finn
OF Henry Smith Il Sons of Maryland,
for the contract. amounting to some
S1l, 600, for granite for the new custom
house at Baltimore, has been amicaby
settled after considerable effort by both
parties before the Treasury Depart
ment The Mount Waldo COMPANY
was the lowest bidder by 81 1000 but
the Marylanders insisted that they
wanted Maryland granite. According
ly letter received here from Mr.. John
Pierce Of New York states that it has
been agreed between him and the Mary
land firm that he shall have the con
tract, but that he shall get the granite
in Maryland. That is said to be salts
factory to all concerned.
