E ARNESTNESS IN POSTOFFICE

The scandals unearthed IN the post

yet in one way have taught the people
valuable lesson. They have served
to impress as possibly no other way

manifold duties Of cabinet officer
1t has been further shown how Deepen

subordinates one upon another, and
the official at the head of the depart

reports from those below.
The situation and helplessness in
one way Of member Of the cabinet
leads the st. Paul Pioneer Press TO cb-
serve: "There are a lot of people in
the United States who think a cabinet
officer like the postmaster general with
several hundred government employ es
under his supervision, ought to know
whether any one Of them on a particu-
lar day allowed some person not con-
nected with the department to
use soap and towels in washing
his face, and whether, on an
other day, janitor used seven in
stead of six bushels of coal. The idea
that great questions of management
involving millions, SO occupy the post
master generals time that he can't
personally attend to such things seems
never to have occurred to these
people"
The public then should Lave much

REGARDING TAXES.

After a careful consideration of this
law [ find:
/. The pledge of the party sthat
every dollar shall bear it's just proper
ton of tax is redeemed as to real
estate mortgages in Wisconsin,
2. 1t is now understood that mort
gage is a conditional deed, or lien on
the real estate and a part of the title,
so that when the taxes are paid on the
real estate the taxes are paid on the
mortg ages, which practically exempts
all mortgages on real estate in Wiscon-
sin from taxation, without the appear.
ance and charge of class legislation
3. Under this law, all mortgages
on real estate in Wisconsin will be
taxed and the taxes will be paid when
the taxes are paid on the real estate
which will remove great burden from
those who have under the old law listed
part or all of their mortgages and paid
high rate of taxes because only a
few were taxed.
This law does not exempt mort,
cages on real estate outside of Wiscon-
sin which must be taxed with other
credits to people who live in Wisconsin
and to that extent will be for the bene-
Fl of Wisconsin mortgages,
5. This law provides that all mort
cages shall be taxed where the real
estate is situated which will maintain
the tax expense in the locality where
the money is produced and will permit
the owner of the mortgage to live in
the city of high taxes without being
taxed in the city on his mortgage.
e. The equity of the owner and the
mortgage on the real estate will be
taxed together same as unincumbered
real estate Of the same value.
z. Real estate as now assessed at
its full value will include the mortgage
thereon and the equity of the owner.
8. The owner of mortgaged real
estate will pay all the taxes on the
real estate same as heretofore and ne
gotiate for the low rate of interest be-
cause he pays the taxes on the mort.
gage.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1903-07-15

g. 1t is safe to say that the mort
gagor agrees in all mortgages now on
real estate in Wisconsin to pay the tax
es on the real estate, and when the
taxes are paid on the real estate the
taxes are paid on the mortgage, and
failure to pay the taxes on all the real
estate wi be failure to do as the mort
gagor agrees which will cause a fore
closure of the mortgage tor non pay
ment of taxes, as it is the business Of
the courts to enforce contracts and
make people do as they agree.
10. From the fore going under
standing of the law, the present form
of Wisconsin mortgage blanks are le-
gal and any great noise about the law
and new blanks is probably made by
tax dodgers or their hirelings to throw
mud at Gov. LaFollette and the memb-
err of the legislature in favor of the law.
1t is time for the party to drop the
names ofRepublicans who VIII not re-
deem the party pledge and give the
laws their warm support and a fair
trial.
The fifteen words, viz: No evidence
shall be allowed in court to recover for
property that has escaped taxation
as [ suggest to be passed as a law of
Wisconsin and advocated for adoption
by all the States and to be made a nat
ional tax law, will redeem the balance
of said party pledge Under this law
all property will rise to the surface for
taxation equal at least to the insur-
ance thereon, and every plaintiff in
suit for recovery of property or the
value thereof, will prove to the salts
faction of the court and the property
has been duly taxed, and few decis-
ions of the Supreme court will enforce
this law. 1t is not right to tax mort
cages and real estate at their full val
lie and not pass law to redeem the
balance of the party pledge SO that ev
cry dollar will bear its just proportion
OF the taxes. 1t makes the tax payers
tired to maintain courts for people to
recover property or for the value
thereof that has not been taxed 1t is
said the rate of taxation will not be
one-tenth as high when said law of Is
words is passed.
Money to loan on Wisconsin real es-
tate first mortgages at per cent, pay

pay all the taxes on the real estate in
Guiding the lien thereon of the mort
gage same as he has always done.

wreck On the Missouri Pacific.


Standing in the locomotive cab With
his hand on the engineers shoulder,
Ferdinand Mercer, a brakeman vas
instantly killed, while the engineer, w.
W. Christine, and the fireman, Frank
Sanders, were seriously injured, as the
result of a collision between two Mis-
souri, Pacific freight trains several
miles east of Valley Park. The cause
Of the collision was said to have been
the overlooking of orders by the IN
gineer and conductor of the east-bound
local freight. The brakeman who was
killed and engineer and fireman who
we're injured belonged to the crew of
this train. They had orders to meet
IN extra freight at Valley Park. The
train pulled into the switch, it is said,
and waited for some time, and as the
extra train had not yet arrived they
decided to make a dash for Reyes
Summit. A short distance out Of Val
ley Park, while rounding a sharp
curve, the two trains collided. The
crew of the extra jumped to safety,
but the e%ast-bound crew did not see
the other train.

BAN PLACED ON NEGROES.
Cotton Growers Suffer Great Finan.
ciaI Loss in Not Being Allowed to
Import Negro Lab0rerS.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 31.-Because the
ban has been placed on the negroes by
the citizens of Greer county, Okla,
there will be an estimated loss of s.
900 bales Of this years cotton crop.
Greer county, which, until a few years
ago, was a part Of Texas, is one of the
big co%on producers of the territory.
This year the farmers raised 20 per
cent. increased acreage and a Upper
cent. increase yield, but there is a Ia
Dor famine.
The growers have been threatened
by the citizens in general upon every
attempt to import negroes, but unless
the necessary laDorers are secured in
the immediate future the financial loss
will be great. The growers now have
a movement on foot to bring 100 Mex
lean families to pick the cotton crop.
Since the organization of Greer coun-
ty no negroes have been allowed to live
within its boundaries.
