CAN BE TAXED.
Supreme Court Decides That
Notes and rlortgages are SUBJ
jeCt to Taxation.

The Supreme court last Friday
handed down a decision holding that
the statutes providing for the taxation
of notes, mortgages and other credits
in Wisconsin are constitutional. The
decision was in the case Of R. e. Kings
ley against the city of Merrill. In
1902 the city assessed notes and mort
cages held by Kingsley at $40, 430 and
levied tax of $36342 thereon. A
further charge of 5000 was made for
collection. Kingsley paid the $374.32
under protest, and finally brought
suit to recover it. The city demurred
and the lower court sustained the de-
mur"er. The Supreme court affirmed
the order Of the lower court.
1t was written by Chief Justice Casso-
day and is concurred in by three of the
other four members Of the court. JUS
tice Dodge dissented. The decision is
especially interesting because of the
state tax commissions lecommenda-
tion to the legislature that credits be
not taxed. The cour5 holds in brief
that notes and mortgages are property
within the meaning of the statutes;
that the statutes are not void because
they exempt from taxation debts due
from insolvent debtors; that the taxation
of notes and mortgages is not double
taxation of property as defined by the
courts
'.If it is true, says the court, ''that
notes and mortgages are not property
subject to taxation under this clause of
the constitution (providing that the
rule of taxation Shall be uniform and
taxes shall be levied upon snch pro-
perty as the legislature shall pre-
scribe, them it is very singular that
: the fact was not discovered by the able
lawyers who have revised the statutes
from time to time-frst in 1919 and
then in 1S58-and especially those who
revised the statutes of 1878. because
that revision took place several years
after the lengthy controversy and num-
erous conflicting decisions and opinions
as to the validity of certain provisions
of the statutes under the clause of the
constitution above quoted.
Undoubtedly, as stated by the tax
commission and urged by counsel, that
which gives a credit value, and which
present assessment laws recognize and
treat as property consists not in the
written instruments or other evidences
of the creditor's right or security, but
in the right or security, but IN the
right itself-the creditors right to re-
ceive and enforce payment OF his de-
mand. This right OF the creditor is
admittedly a thing of value-asssum-
ing always that the debtor is solvent.
In many Of it's forms, with it's evi-
dences, it may be freely transferred
from one person to another, and often
Ierforms the Office of medium of ex-
change more efficiently than money.
But that does not indicate that notes
and mortgages are not property.

Better than Doctors Prescription.

Mrs. J. W Turner, of Truhart, Va. says
that Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets have done him more good than

able to compound a medicine that
would produce such gratifying results
in cases of stomach troubles, bilousness
or constipation, his whole time would

Special rIeeti ng of the Board

A special meeting of the board
of supervisors was held last week,
at the request Of Superintendent
of poor, Cornelius Winner, for the
purpose of reconsidering the mat
ter of the letting Of the poor farm
to L B Waybright, who was tie
lowest bidder at the public letting
on the 11th., on the ground that
WAINWRIGHT was not considered by
the Superintendent as suitable
bidder.
The objections urged against
WAINWRIGHT were heard and it was
Thought by the board that they
we're not well taken, and that there
was not sufficient reason for max
ing any change in the previous
ruling of the board. The contract
with Waybright was therefore re-
affirmed.

cogitating over tue strange occur,
rance another sharp explosion took
place and another hen was lifted
from her nest and fell at his feet
with broken leg.
The farmer has decided that it
all came about by the hens setting
ON frozen eggs.
