MAY ALTER LAW
FOR ELECTION OF SUPER
VISOR OF ASSESSMENT

A bill has been submitted to the legs-
lature to make the election of county
supervisor of assessment popular in
stead of by the County board. There
seems to be favorable attitude on the
part of the legislators to pass the
measure, and should this be done it
will bring the Office much nearer the
people.
As the law now stands the supervisor
of assessment is elected by the County
board for term of four years and his
duties are such M to keep him pretty
much at work during the entire period.

Sentiment in This County is Very
Decided Against it.
WHAT JULIUS LINSTEDT HAS TO SAY
Mortgage and MOrtgager Both Oppose to
Proposed Law
THINK 1T ABSOLUTELY UNCONSTITUTIONAL
II il Went Into Effect and Was Sustained
by the Courts Would Drive Money
From the State.

There is very definite opposition
among property owners and mortgages
and mortgagers against the proposed
law to tax mortgages The assumption
is that the proposed law is unconstitu-
tional inasmuch as it causes double tax
alton. The law, it is said, to be consti-
tutional permits only the collection Of
taxes once on each species of property
thus If a parcel of property is assessed at
its actual value, though 1t may be en-
numbered by mortgage. it would be
unconstitutional to tax the mortgage
because that would result in double
taxation.
One of the best authorities on taxation
and real estate in the county, Julius
Linstedt, AYERS after thorough ex-
animation into the subject that the pro
posed law will be opposed to the limit
by both mortgagee and mortgager. 81
am absolutely satisfied" he remarks,
that neither Of the parties referred to
will submit to the injustice, the mort
gagor and mortgage are equally antag-
onistic to the measure and will fight it.
THE sentiment in the county is
shared in, too, by many other counties,
and if such law were in force, it would
simply drive money from :he state into
other states where it could find reason
able and profitable investment"

few days ago that his company would
at once begin operations for the extern

terminus to Door county, as far as
Sturgeon Bay. This extension will do
much to bring trade into this county
because the proposed route is through
q populous district and it will naturally
bring people into this county and city.
The line should be in operation within
