EARLY CONVENTION PROBABLE.

A meeting of the Third district con-
gressional committee is oalled to assem-
BILE in Madison on tomorrow, Thursday.
The membership of this committee is
largely of Congressman Babcock's lik-
ing, and his wishes will doubtless be
carried out to the letter. The activity,
everywhere, of his abusive stalwart agents
and purchased press, are indicative of q
mid-winter convention for the nomina-
ton of republican candidate for con-
gress, probably nine months before the
day of election. This will doubtless
mean four or five sets of csucuses and
conventions for Vernon county republi-
cans the present year. But this Is stall
wsrtism to the core. Their professional
politicians can give all their time to pol
ftics, while the farmers and industrial
people, who compose the backbone and
voting strength Of the republican party,
devote their energies to everyday work.
When a primary election becomes q
fact in Wisconsin the time of holding
caucuses viii be fixed by law, all held
on the same day, and the politics for
any given year win be done up at one
caucus. Then every voter can decide
for himself and vote direct for the men
of his choice, free from the assr med die.
tation Of professional politicians. And
that win be happy day for the up
right citizen, who is republican or q
democrat from conviction and principle,
but sorry moment for lie ward heeler
and paid representatives Of corporations
and men who are willing to spend large
fortunes to be elected to positions that
carry meagre salaries.

MORTGAGE TAX LAW.

Chapter 37S of the laws of 1908, the
so-called mortgage tax law, Is inopera-
| tive, except TO exempt mortgages from
taxation as personal property. 1t has
no more to do in regulating the pay
ment of taxes between the mortgagor
and mortgage of real estate than the
Declaration of Independence. The ques-
ton as to whether the mortgagor or
MORTGAGE will pay the taxes on the
mortgaged real estate always has been
and always will be regulated by con-
tract contained in every mortgage as
follows: And the said mortgagor does
further covenant and agree that he will
pay all taxes and assessments, of every
nature, that may be assessed on said
premises, previous to the day appointed
In pursuance of any law in the state,
for the sale of lands for taxes.
That portion of the law which exempts
mortgages from taxation as personal
property is the first part Of Section 2,
and is as follows: Whenever taxable
real estate shall be subject to mort age,
such mortgage for the purposes OF tax
alton shall be deemed an interest in such
real estate, and shall be assessed and
taxed as such interest in the assessment
district in W ich such real estate is To-
Gated.
In 1908 all mortgages on real estate
that were assessed were assessed as an
interest in real estate to the mortgage,
and the mortgagor or owner OF the land,
pays the taxes by virtue of the above
mentioned contract the same as he did
before the passage of this law. 1t will
be observed, therefore, that all mort
cages on real estate in the state Of Wis
consin are exempt from taxes
It was stated in an article published
in the last issue Of the CENSOR that
this Law did not make much difference
with the tax payers in the city of Virc-
qua. In the assessment of the city for
the year 1908, there was shrinkage of
1928, 900, which amount covers mort
cages heretofore taxed in the city. loss
to the city in taxes of 81, 751, about one
tenth of the total taxes raised in the
city

No. Celebration.

A meeting was called Monday after
noon at the City Hall for the purpose
of ascertaining whether Ely would
publicly celebrate July4. Onlyga few
were present and the same few were
those who are always present at every.
movement for the welfare of the city.
In view of this fact it was decided to
drop the affair and again let it go by
default. Those who will reap the
benefit Of celebration are 10th to-
part with their coin and others feel
that they cannot afford to furnish the
money for boosting other peoples
business. 1t is to be regretted that
such things should be in a city like
this, yet the idea Of digging for some
one else year after year has become
tiresome. In all probability few
dollars will be raised for giving, the

CATION from Lake, Mr.. Miller's home
county, will do much towards landing
the denomination for the Two Har-
borite who was the first man to bring
the state Office to this neck Of the
woods. The reports from various
parts of the state are encouraging for
Miller, Notwithstanding some reports
to the contrary, which have been cir
culated by some OF his enemies. Dur.
ing the past two weeks we have mixed
more or less with some two hundred
newspaper men from all parts of the
state, many of whom where frank in
admitting that Mr.. Miller is entitled
to another term on the railroad and
warehouse commission. Others said
they did not care who the man was so
long as he was able, but that this Sec
tion was certainly entitled to the
office again, recognizing as they did
the growing Importance of North
eastern Minnesota.

VOTE FOR HON. R. c. DUNN DELEGATES

Miller, from geographical stand
point, is entitled to the positit n; in
view of the fact he has held the Office
one term, is also entitled to the place
from political stand point. The
delegates to the state convention
should not lose sight of the benefits
to be derived from having a state
officers in our section. The Journal
says:
"Time rolls on and the Republican
state convention will soon be at hand.
Two weeks from tonight should see
the nomination for state offices all
made. With the. convention so close
at hand it might be we'll to look out
for our own particular section Of the
state. j. G.. Miller of Two Harbors,
holds the Office OF Railroad and Ware
house Commissioner. ThiSis the only
representation that Northeastern
Minnesota has among the various
state offices. Mr., Miller has ably and
conscientiously fulfilled the duties of
the important office which he has held
for the term Of four years. He is en-
titled to a second term and should
have it, if for no other reason than to
hold the office in this part of the state
From all parts Of the state, candi-
dates are bobbing up, not so much to
defeat Miller as TO get the office for
some man in their own particular
neck of the woods. This part of
Minnesota, while not so thickly popu-
lated as other parts of the state, cuts
no small figure in the productions of
the state. 1t is entitled to some
recognition in the public affairs of
state. Mr.. Miller wants the office
again and is entitled to a second term.
If we are successful in landing the
| Office for Mr.. Miller for another term,
it will be hard for the other parts OF
the state to ever get it away from this
section of the state. If Mr. Miller is
defeated in the convention it will be
many long day before Northeastern
Minnesota is able to get another state
office as big or as important as that oil
