opELL URGES MORTGAGE TAX.
He Sends Special Message to the Now
York Legislature.

Albany. n. Y. - Governor Odell
changed the entire tax situation In the
Legislature by Unexpectedly sending In
a special message. in which he told the
legislators that 1t was their plain duty
to pass a mortgage tax bill Of some
kind before final adjournment.
As a result Of this message It was ex.
pected that a bill providing for n re-
cording tax Of two and half mills on
mortgages would be passed. and that
mortgages will be exempted from all
other taxation.
The Governor made It perfectly clear
that he had never been welded to the
Mortgage Tax bill. which imposes an
annual tax Of four mills. and which
was pending before the Legislature.
He pointed ont that the present system
OF mortgage taxation as personal prop
erty was unjust to holders OF mort
cages, who were unable to escape pay.
ment. and he signiied his willingness
to approve any one OF these four meas
ures:
Entire exemption OF mortgages from
taxation In any form.
A recording tax. with exemption from
all form Of taxation.
Annual taxation Of mortgages Mt the
rate Of four mills on the dollar.
Annual taxation at the rate Of two
mills on the dollar.
Governor Odell had been over
whelmed with letters from all parts Of
the State urging him to recommend
more just tax on mortgages than Is pro-
vidcd In the present statute. 1t was
now regarded as certain that there
would be mortgage tax legislation IN
some form. and the probability favored
the recording tax.

drew Schilfarth. Of this city. while

1t was shown that he had also been
leyying tribute on other merchants and
had been working his "get-rich-quicS"
system for fifteen years. His rake

his o!fenses for the last two years could
be considered. and he was sentenced TO
one year In prison.
Edds' only defense was that lie had
done nothing more than Is the usual
custom at Newport. He pleaded that
c0achman. buffers and other employees
OF wealthy people arc paid commissions
by merchants with whom they trade
for their employers. that the existence
OF such an arrangement Is we'll known

"The prosecution has not endeavored
