GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
Special Communication to Legislature
on Mortgage Tax.

Albany, April Tn a special mes
sage sent to both houses of the legis
lature Governor Odell emphasizes iii
views Of the importance of some legis
lation at this session upon the subject
of taxation of mortgages.
That an evil exists in the present
system of mortgage taxation" he says
lis manifest, and that it is a burden
upon these who cannot escape, upor
widows and orphans whose money is
tied up in trust estates, should lead the
legislature to take into consideration
the necessity for action and attempl
in some way to correct this condition
IF 1t be by the total exemption OF
mortgages from taxation, If that be the
conclusion of the legislature | am
ready to give to it my sanction and ap
prevail. If it be by imposing a small
yearly tax. either 4 mills or mills ]
am willing also to go to that extent
because believe that is so much near
er right than the existinglalw and that
it would meet the approval of the citi
zens Of the state. If il be by imposing q
recording tax, affecting only future
mortgages, I am willing to lend my
approval and assistance in that direa
tion. But believe that the legislat.
ure would be recreant to the trust re-
posed in it if an adjournment should
occur without a correction of the evil:
to which have directed attention.
ut may be asked, where Is themoney
to come from that is necessary tc
continue the exemption from a direct
state tax upon the property of the
state for state purposes. Two an.
swers to this question are apparent
First, greater economy upon the part
OF the legislature; secondly, we Are
perhaps within a million or two mil
lions of dollars of the fulfllment of the
promises made by the dominant party
in the legislature to the people of The
state in the last party platform. II
a recording tax of mills or 2B mills
were imposed upon the future mort
cages, it would produce all the revenue
necessary and We could go before the
people complying with their reasonable
and just demands for improvements
without curtaling anything that may
be necessary and without indulging in
extravaganza in government.
u am so impressed with the neces.
sity for some action upon your part,
that | take this opportunity of calling
1t to your attention. Sensible of the
obligation which confronts those of us
who are charged with the administra
tion of the states affairs, and of the
Justice, equity and the right that
remedy should be found for this cry.
