INDUSTRIAL NOTES

There was general strike at the
Norcross-West marble mill at Man.
chester Depot Jan. 20, due to trouble
with the superintendent, w. NJ
lO'Connors. 1t is an eighteen pano
mill running day and night saving
white marble for the New York public
library building.
The Sterling Marble Co.. which re-
Gently leased the large marble mill AT
Beldens, Ga postofiice in New Haven't
for one year with the privilege OF
extending the lease to five mas opened
business there. This large plant has
been idle for the past two years. The
negotiations between these two parties
have been in progress for some time.
The new company consists OF men OF
Middlebury. Pittsford and Florence.
The quarries purchased are an extern
sion OF the vein from which the Yer
mont Marble Co. gets its marble at
Proctor and Center Rutland.
L. NJ. Mills has sold to w. B. Com
ings his Richford grist mill, storehouse
and feed business, including the water
right on the falls, for SO, 1000. II is I'M
derstood that some of the stockholders
OF the Shortcomings Co. are behind
this deal, and j: is expected that the
Shortcomings Co. will take over this
property little later and leave Mr..
Comings in charge of the business.
Should this occur, it would give the
Shortcomings Co. the entire water
rights on the south side of the river
and the only right on the north side of
the river is that of the Richiord Foun-
dry Co. The prospective lawsuits to
determine the water rights on the falls
will thus be narrowed down to the
shortcomings Co. VS.. the ,Richfor
Foundry Co.

was m0rtgageu IOr SoUUV, anu nc hau
also $1,000 worth of stock and Other
taxable personal property he could OFF
set so that only $1,000 would represent
1.-THE debt on which he was taxed. But
lit all depends on the extent of the per-
sonal holdings, so that it bears I'M
equally upon the mortgaged debtors,
depressing some heavily, others less
so, while some may be able TO offset
their entire mortgages in this way.
The reduction in the grand list that
would follow a change such as pro-
posed would be simply cutting out OF
the imitation that has resulted from
taxing the same thing twice to two
separate parties Except where the
mortgagor has been able to Offset
against another species of property
more favored). Instead Of losing any
thing that really belonged to it, the
grand list would, if real estate were to
enter to the same rights now enjoyed
by personal property, represent the
sum total of all property values, in ex-
cess of all debts owing. Who
could find fault with that as a basis for
taxation?
A smaller grand list would mean a
corresponding increase in the tax rate,
it is true. The extra burden now
borne by the mortgaged real estate
holders would be equally distributed
among all the taxpayers according TO
their actual wealth and ability to pay I?
Who finds fault with that as a princi-
pie, or who believes that, once estab-
lished, it would work anything but
benefit TO the whole community
Those deserving sympathy are not so
much those who ".just live along as
those who can't "make live of it,
owing to the fact that they, while bur
dened with debt, pay not only their
own share of the public expense, but
part of the fair share of those much
better able to pay than they.
As to Mr.. Cobb's final query, "Is de-
duction OF taxation of personal prop
erty OF unmixed good ?" we can sim
ply say that il it is OF any good the
same good ought to be extended to
not less worthy class Of property-real
estate. Is this privilege OF offset to be
denied the latter class because often
abused by the former? Is there any
reason to suspect the real estate hold
ers are worse rascals than the owners
Of personal property? On the con-
trary, is not the fact that every mort
gage must be on public record in the |
Town where the real estate lies safe
guard that would make false returns
far less to be expected than debts not
Of record now freely allowed in offset
against personal property Even the
to tax all visible property
md allow no offsets would be step
.oward the relief of the class who now
see their neighbors escape taxation by
his means while the avenue is closed /
o them because they chance to hold
ands instead OF movable goods.
We have yet to learn why real estate
hould be taxed to the holder, regard
ess OF his debts, while he who has
PERSONAL property pays only on the ex-
ess of such property above his debts.

A CONSERVATIVES ADVICE.

! Mr.. EDITOR Ought we not TO
make haste slowly in meddling with
Onr system of taxation2 Real estate
is largely the basis OF our grand list,
and this basis must ever be ample and
reliable. We must be careful about
akening'foundations
Let us realize that when we tax
lands we tax them according TO the
prodncts and convenience they afford ,
! il is because of these things they have
value. Land not yielding these may
be called comparatively worthless and
so is subject to merely nominal taxa
ton.
Now if borrow of another a sum
OF money and mortgage my farm TO
secure the loan, do ! thereby in any
degree cease TO remain owner OF itP
have merely put myself in such a
situation that may in certain con-
tingency, in the future more or less
remote. part with that ownership, but
do not expect to nor intend to do
this. Certainly the mortgage is no
owner. He has no rights in the
premises except TO see that | do not
impair bis security. Until breach of
contract and deliberate adjudication
put him in possession OF sufficient part
OF the real estate to satisfy his claim
he has no more or other rights therein
than any one. But ne must now, If
never before, pay taxes on the money
he has loaned. The farm remains
mine just as before; all the use, in
come, profits and control thereof con-
tinue 10 be mine. How am | wronged
or oppressed il must continue to pay
the taxes ? Theproteetion OF the law
is as broad and unweakened over my
property as before. Shall | refuse to
contribute to the cost of that protec-
ton? II is for my sole benefit, aud
not in any way for the benefit of the
MORTGAGE, that the shield of the law
is over me and mine.
And do not let us look upon the
money lender as a despicahle ghoul,
nor as a simpleton who will fail TO
look after his own interests, however
the law may be changed. IL is a good
thing 10 have moneyed men in a com
munity; good to have the opportunity
TO borrow.
If we demand and bring ii to pass
that mortqaged premises be exempt
from taxation to the amount of the
mortgage our grand list must suffer
material reduction and the rate of
taxation be increased proportionately.
Consider how large a part of our
people (would il be exaogeration 10
say a full half2) "just live along and
with the closest economy manage TO
keep out Of debt, with difficulty rails
ing the money to pay their taxes. Let
us think twice before adopting plans
TO increase their burdens.
Another question comes in here. Is
deduction of taxation OF personal
for debts owing of unmixed
good Many men of long experience
and good judgment are confident that
the better way would be to tax all
visible property. Certainly, much
fraud and dishonesty would then be
avoided. In how many towns in Yer
mont are not listers confronted in their
work with deceit and misrepresenta-
ton and this, too, often from men oil
whom better things would be ex-
pected
As to double taxation, certainly
here are two sides.
Let MS look before we leap.
