of mortgages and mortgaged real estate"
In my Judgment this bill is in conflict
with the provisions of section !, article s,
of the Constitution of the State which pre-
scribcs that 1.-The rule of taxation shall be
uniform"
The bill provides that the interest of the
mortgagce shall for the purposes of taxa
ton be deemed an interest in real estate
that in case valid agreement shall be
made by the mortgagor to pay all taxes on
the land then the interests Of both the mort
gagee and mortgagor shall be assessed and
taxed together against the mortgagor.
No other rule than that now provided by
law is prescribed for the valuation of real
estate. just and true valuation Is to be
put upon 1t, the same as If 1t were unen-
numbered. The effect of this would be to
assess real estate as 1t has been heretofore
assessed, and to exempt the mortgage from
taxation. The form Of mortgage always
used contains an agreement on the part of
gagged property. 1t may safely be assumed
that this form would not be changed in this
respect If this bill were to become a law.
Although the bill contains the provision for
separate assessment of the interest of the
mortgagor and that of the mortgagee when
agreement to pay the taxes is not made BY
the mortgagor, this clause apparently
would be wholly imperative because the
mortgage will also have the power and the
interest to exact such agreement from the
mortgagor.
Another section of the bill declares that
It's provisions shall not apply to or AFFECT
mortgages executed prior to the time this
In the bill on January l, 1902. 1t follows,
If the agreement to pay the taxes is made
by the mortgagor. that mortgages executed
prior to January l, 1902 are to be taxed
as personal property according to the exist
ing rules of law, while those made subsc-
Quent to that date are wholly exempt from
taxation, because the real estate Is to be
taxed at its true value both before and
after that date, and after that date the
mortgage executed is made II part OF the
real esate for assessment purposes. On
the other hand, IL a mortgage should be
given after January l. 1902, and agreement
to pay all taxes on the real estate is not
made by the mortgagor, then the real estate
Is to be assessed at Its true value less the
true value OF the mortgage but If mort
gage shall have been executed prior to that
date, and none since, upon the same parcel
Of real estate. 1t Is to be assessed at it's
true value without any reduction whatever
on account of the mortgage, which also Is
to be assessed at it's true value.
In my Judgment 1t Is not permissible I'M
der the constitutional provision quoted,
either to tax mortgages executed prior to q
certain date and to exempt those executed
after that date, to tax real estate upon
which mortgage has been executed prior
to n certain date without any reduction on
account Of the mortgage debt and to deduct
from the true value of similar property SIM
ilarly situated the value of mortgage exc
cuted subsequently to such date in making
assessments for taxation purposes
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT NJ. LA TOILETTE,
Governor

Governor Recommended 1t.

at is asserted that it will raise the in
terest rate to make money and mortgages
pay taxes. Possibly it may increase the
interest rate somewhat to enforce the law
as to money and mortgages. In California
where they have a constitutional provision
that real estate mortgages shall be assessed
to the owner of the mortgage, and the as
scsscd valuation of the real estate reduced
by the amount of the mortgage, two differ
cnt claims are made by those opposed to
the assessment of mortgages One, that
the interest rate is increased to an amount
sufficient to make the borrower pay the
taxes; another, that an agreement be
tween the borrower and lender is insisted
upon by the latter, requiring payment by
commission or otherwise, sufficient to re-
jmhursc the lender for the amount of
taxes which he is required to pay upon
the mortgage 1t is fact, however, as
shown by the last census that the interest
rate in California is lower tnan III adjoin
ing states though this may be in part due
to independent causes After much discus
sion ON the subject, Missouri adopted at
mcnt similar in effect to that of Catltor-
MIA. WHATEVER MAY BE THE EN-
ACT FACT AS TO THE EFFECT ON
INTEREST RATE AS BETWEEN THE
BORROWER AND LENDER, THE
PRINCIPLE Is TO RE RECOMMEND
ED BECAUSE IT TAXES EACH MAN
JUSTLY ON THE RECORD. THE
MORTGAGOR HAS TO THE EXTENT
OF THE MORTGAGE PARTED WITH
AN INTEREST IN THE REAL Els
TATE, THE MORTGAGEE HAS AC-
CURED THAT INTEREST, AND
EACH Is TAXED ONLY UPON HIS
PROPORTIONATE SHARE"
With the encouragement of the COVER
nor's uttevances on the subject, Mr.. Frost
consulted with the members of the tax
commission, who had been giving the mat
ter good deal of study, and as result
of their conference the bill known as No.
2SlA was prepared. 1t was written by
MIR. Curtis of the tax commission with
the approval of Judge ellison, the head
OF the commission, and upon its passage
by the Senate Judge Gibson congratulated

TGlE FROST MORTGAGE BILL VETO.
Gov LA RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SITUATION
THAT rs EMBARRASSING BOTH BORROWERS
AND LENDERS


] The small borrowers and lenders of the
] state have suddenly been brought face to
hcc with the fact that the taxation of
mortgages has become a serious matter in
Wisconsin, Those who are depending for
livelihood upon the income of the saw
ra4 of a lifetime have discovered that
their revenues will be largely eaten up by
taxes, and those who are forced to borrow
in small amounts find themselves called
upon to pay increased rates of interest,
if not direct in the form of commissions"
The responsibility for this state of affairs
rests with Governor La Toilette.
The friends of the governor, recognizing
that his veto of the Frost Mortgage Bill
places the responsibility upon him, have
undertaken to justify his action in that
pucrile publication known as the Voters
Handbook" They print the governors
veto of the bill and then attempt to JUS
Gfy it by recording the fact that only an
insurance agent and q banker voted to
pass the bill over the governors veto.
The Handbook ncglects to state that there
were only twenty members out of one
hundred present when the vote on the
veto was taken.
The story of the attempt on the part of
Assemblyman Frost of Portgage county to
enact legislation which would tend to solve
the vexatious mortgage taxation problem,
and of the defeat of his bill at the hands
of Governor La Toilette, makes intensely
interesting reading, and still further dis
closes the true characteristics of our great
reform" governor.
Mr.. Fred j. Frost, whose home is at
Almond, little village in Portage county,
ia a student of economic subjects and has
for years been considering some of the
problems which present themselves in the
matter of taxation. He has devoted espe-
cial attention to the subject of the taxa
ton of mortgages and has long been CON
yinced that the taxation of mortgaged real
estate at its full value, in addition to the
taxation of the mortgage itself, was not
sound economic law When he took his
scat in the Assembly in 1899 he undertook
to pass a bill which would embody his
IDEAS on the subject and result in a more
equitable adjustment of the taxation of
mortgaged real estate, and at the session
Of 1901 he succeeded in passing such a bill
only to have it vetoed by Governor La
Toilette.
In his inaugural message the governor
had dwclt at length upon the need of a
mortgage taxation bill. He displayed a
surprising lack of knowledge of economic
iaw-as he did in many other parts of his
mcssage-by coupling bank deposits and
mortgages together, while discussing them
for taxation purposes, and on the subject
he said in part

Hand Books Explanation.

The Legislature was to adjourn on the
following Wednesday, and but few mem
bers had remained to be in at the closing
hours. When the veto was read Mr.
Keene of Milwaukee moved that consider
alton of it be deferred until the following
day. On Tuesday he again moved to de-
fer action until the next day, and ON
Wednesday at few moments before the
time for final adjournment, consideration
of the veto was taken up. There were
twenty members present and eighty abb
sentees. Of those present eighteen mem
bers voted to sustain the veto, and two,
Messrs Barker and orion, voted to pass
the bill over the governors veto. Any
action was useless, because there was far
from q quorum present, and had every
man who answered the roll call voted TO
pass the bill over the veto the result
would have been the same. This fact the
"Voters' Handbook" fails to state. and
the only Notifications of the governors
action which that remarkable document
makes is contained in the following para
graph:
How conclusive the governors objec-
tons to the bill appeared to the members
of the Legislature was shown by the fact
that upon the question of the passage OF
the bill over the governors veto Assembly
man Barker, an insurance broker, and As
semblvman orion, banker, were the only
Assemblymen who voted for its passage"
What admirable candor! And how Car
acterstic Of the governor!

The Ice Tax Veto.

Some time previous to the passage of
the Frost Mortgage Bill a measure had
been passed which has gone into history
as the Ice Tax Bill 1t was introduced in
the Assembly by Henry Overlook, one of
Governor La Folette's leutenants on the
floor and now his chief game warden, and
was champtoned in the Senate by Senator
Miller, the governors spokesman on the
floor of the upper house. Every member
of the last Legislature and every man at
all familiar with legislative work, and
pable of Judging of the meaning of bills,
knew why the bill was introduced and
knew also that il was not intended for
passage The ice companies, knowing it
to be unconstitutional, did not consider 1t
worth while to oppose the passage of the
bill and it passed both houses and went
to the governor His two chief lieutonants
were interested in the bill, ana TO have

honors, and this promises to be one of
the features of the meet. Both are said
to be exceedingly fast. and it is known
that the Temple youngsters ran second to
the Brooklyn team in record time last De-
cember.
The Boys Latin. Friends Central, and
the Emerson Institute will have strug-
gle in separate race. Some CT the other
teams are yet to be matched, but all will
be arranged by Wednesday.
Race for Y. VI. c. A.
The management has succeeded in OBJ
tanning the best talent from the Washing
ton and Baltimore Y. VI. c. AS, and the
will be one of the special features of the
programme.
The individual entries are by far the
best ever offered TO a Washington public.
All the leading cracks Of the East, as
well as several from the West. will par
ticfpate in the different numbers.
DaShes and Distance Events.
The tifty-yard dash will be one of the
big events. Duffey will he pitted against
the fastest men in the country. provided
they can be persuaded to race him. His
recent defeats in Boston and New York
have not discouraged the Georgetown
boy, and he is anxious to show the public
that he is not yet has BEEN in any
sense of the word. 1t is probable that a
race between Schuber, Eaton, the men
who defeated him in the forty-yard dash
in Boston. and Duffey will be arranged
a race of this sort. will be well worth
travelling miles to see. Last year Duffey
ran fifty yards in Convention Hall in five
he can do so again.
The 50-yard hurdle will bring together
some very fast sprinters including Her
bert, of Notre Dame. and Murphy. of
Georgetown. Both these men are said
to run the distance within a second or
two of the record time. Herbert is the
present Western intercollegiate cham
pion hurdler, and comes East for the
first time.
Cracks in High Jumps.
The high jump is another one Of the
star attractions. Such men as Baxter.
Jones, and Speaker are expected to take
part in this and as all are jumping over
SIX feet. something in the way of new
record is likely TO happen.
Music and Officials.
The officials selected are the best in
the country, and everything points to a
most successful meet.
One of the attractions, not included on
the athletic programme. will be Haley's
Band, which has been engaged by the
management to furnish music for the en-
tertainment.
List of Events.
The events on the programme are as
follows:
