BASIC FACT"

As appears elsewhere, a correspon-
dent and a contemporary take us to
task for saying that basic fact is
wanting in the information at hand
relative to the question of double
taxation, i. e., knowledge OF how
much mortgaged property is actually
taxed twice in Vermont. Each argues
that it matters not as to the amount,
the real basic fact is that it is taxed
at all.
We have no disposition to minimize
the wrong, or to longer postpone
action. But it is inst as well to real
lie that a mere academic argument
in favor of a change runs up at once
against this query: "What difference
in dollars and cents will it make in
our grand list and in our taxes p"
! II the only answer to be made is. I'VE
don't know, we cannot say the
average legislator decides he will
wait for the data before voting for
such proposition.
This data could easily be secured
by a slight addition to the inventory
blanks filed out by every taxpayer
in Vermont, and the whole sum
married. in table comprehensive at
glance. The value that is taxed
twice is not simply the excess OF the
real estate appraisal over the actual
investment of the mortgagor in the
property, inasmuch as the mortgagor
may now offset his mortgage in
debtedness against his personal prop
erty holdings, to the full value OF
the latter, and only the residue. If any.

1t wouldn't surprise us a bit to see
both Parker and Hearst turned down
by the Democratic national convention
and the presidential nomination hand
ed to Mayor Geo. B. Mcclellan OF New

Hearst, but may tall short of the neces-

man would be favorite, and none so
likely as the New York mayor, who
has the prestige of distinguished Dem
oeratie lineage, of recent decisive
triumph in the national metropolis, and
OF personality more attractive than
either Parker or Hearst. Tammany

tFrom the Burlington Daily News
The basic tact is that half the farms
in Vermont are under mortgage and
the farmers are paving double tax
thereon. Figures showing the extent
of the evil would be OF no particular
value, even if it were possible to col
lect them, and their collection would
be almost an impossibility.
Nor is it at all necessary to get such
statistics. The injustice and inequal-
ity Of our system are recognized by
every one who has ever had occasion
to look into the natter and it is
simply wonderful-entirely incompre-
hensible-why the farmers, who are
the principal victims, have endured it
so long.
our state papers are inclined to dis
cuss the question as if it were deep
and intricate problem, which had com
pietely batiled the human intellect and
the solution of which demanded almost
sistance from Providence.
As matter Of fact. Massachusetts

five years ago and the reformed sys-
TEN has been in successful operation
there for quarter of century-suc-
cessful in all points OF view, that OF
the borrower, OF the lender and Of the
community. This system consists
simply in assessing mortgagor and
mortgage each on his actual interest
in the mortgaged real estate. Thus il
a thousand dollar farm were mort
gagged for $500, the owner of the farm
would be taxed for 500 and the
