PRESS OPINIONS.

The Waukesha Dispatch: President
Roosevelts administration will have
to do considerably more in the mat
ter of curbing the trusts than it has
yet accomplished or even undertaken
before the people can be fooled With
the play of their opposition. With
the republicans of Boss Hanna's state
boldly declaring for a strengthening
of the tariff, the trusts and combines
are given an easy pointer as to where
their interest lie. The people might
be fooled by republican declarations
against the trusts, but not the COM
bines.

THURSDAY, JUNE rs, 1903.

Ex- Senator William +. Villas is by
far the most available candidate fol
the democratic presidential nomina'
tion next year. Upon the issues or
which the ensuing presidential contest
ought to be waged, and upon which
democratic success is alone possible
Col. Villas is enthusiastically In
accord with the party. He Is more
prominently and favorably known
than any OF the others who have thus
far been mentioned for the nomina'
tion. He is unequivocably sound on
the tariff and has well established
record as an unyielding opponent OF
monopoly, and as n candidate he
would be alike strong in the east and
west, In point OF true craftsmanship
and executive ability he Is con-
fessedly the peer Of any candidate
nominated for the presidency by
either party In n score Of years, and
IL would indeed be fortunate II "A
settlement Of the new and perpleXing
questions which now confront the
country could be reached under his
wise and patriotic guidance. He
possesses the confidence OF the bust
ness interests Of the country and
would make an ideal president. HIS
nomination would harmonic aud
enthuse the party state and nation
ally, and lend an encouragement OF
success beyond any other candidate
who could possibly be selected Wis
consin democrats owe 1t to them
selves, the party, and the country, to
urge his nomination. - Waukcsha

Tho article quoted above Is from
the pen Of A, +. Warden, chairman
Of the Democratic state central com

Chap. All relates to property held

Chap. BIG requires the county to

ing of the assessors.
MORTGAGE TAXATION.
by far the most important and
laws, made ut the last session of the
legislature, relates to the assessment
and taxation OF mortgages ON real
estate, and of mortgaged real estate.
Chap. 21s, sec, |, provides that, for
the purposes of assessment, the term
mortgage shall include all instru-
monts Of writing which shall hegiv-
en- as security for the payment OF
money by lien Oh real estate, and
shall also mean tho indebtedness or
money secured to be paid by such in.
struments. The term mortgage
shall mean the holder of such secur,
ity, and the term mortgagor shall
mean the owner of the real estate
subject to such security,
Sec provides that for the purposes
of taxation and assessment, the mort,
gage shall be deemed an interest, &c
the amount due, I'm the real estate
and may be separately addressed tC
the owner thereof and deducted from,
the assessed value Of the land, and
the remaining value Of the land
shall be assessed TO the owner Of the
land.
Sec. 3proydes that the owner Of the
land may, If he chooses, direct the
assessor to assess the several inter.
csts Of mortgagor and mortgagee to.
gether, in one assessment, TO the
mortgagor
Sec. prescrlhes how the several
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1903-06-25

interests of mortgagor and mortga.
gee shall be assessed separately.
Sec. changes the law which al
lowed offsets of debts against credits
by taking real estate mortgages from
the list Of debts which may be Offset
against credits.
Sec. is substantially the same.
Sec 8 exempts from assessment
mortgages owned by insurance and
trust companies who pay license
but in my opinion allows such mort.
cages to be deducted from the real
estate.
Sec. Is substantially the same.
In every mortgage on record in
this county, which ] have examined
there is tax clause, wherein the
mortgagor agrees to pay all taxes
and assessments, Of whatever nature
which may be placed on the land
during the life OF the mortgage. AS
this present law declares the mort
gage to be an interest in the real es-
tate, it follows that the mortgag0r
will eventually have to pay the taxes
on the mortgage interest in accor-
dance with the agreement in the
mortgage. If the mOrtgagor FLOWS
the interest Of the mortgages to be
assessed separately, and then refuses
to pay the tax as he has agreed to
do, the mortgage will compel him
to do 50, If necessary, by n foreclos-
ure Of the mortgage with costs and
expenses.
If he intends to pay the tax him
self, he should, to avoid trouble and
to some extent confusion, direct the
assessor to make but one entry of
the property, which shall include
the mortgaged interest and his own.
ASSESSORS are instructed and adj
vised to place the matter Of assessing
mortgages separately in proper
light, nGd obtain the consent of the
owner Of the mortgaged premises to
n single assessment of both interests
in one entry and description, which
shall be that Of the land, rs of prem
Uses not incumbored.
Sec. provides: That in the case
Of u separate assessment Of the mort
gagged interest, the assessed value of
the mortgage shall bear proper
tionnto relation to the true value Of
the land, that the owners interest
bears to the true value; or, in other
words, that II the true value is
shaded and trimmed down to an as
sessed value, the mortgage shall
have the benefit of such shading or
trimming,
No benefit whatever can be OBJ.
tanned by n taxpayer by having n
separate assessment made, except in
u Hypothetical case where the mort
gage does not contain Il tax clause, or
in the case Of mortgages which may
be drawn IN tho future which do not
contain such clause.
am sustained In this position by
some Of the best legal talent with
which am acquainted, and am con-
ndent that my position will be sus
taircd by the forthcoming Instruc-
lions to Assessors, from the Tax
Commission. The bar of this state,
so far IA tho members of IL have CX-
pressed themselves, are practically
unanimous in the opinion that the
constitution Of this state protects the
tax clause in existing mortgages
from any Interference. by the oper-
alton of u law, to tax the mortgaged
interest separately. In short, the
land owner will have to pay the
taxes on the land, as he has always
done, and has always agreed to do,
and that the mortgages will prnc-
tically lie exempt from taxation.
