MORTGAGE TAX FIGHT SOON
Measure Being Drafted-Pro0ides
Straight Fi0e Mil Tar.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRrpuNp /

Albany, Jan. "A oonsummation OF The long
standing struggle for mortgage tax enactment
is promised early in the present session. and n
was learned to-day that the friends of such a
measure were already at work drafting a hill
which VIII in many respects resemble the Bost
wick measure Of last session. 1t is fact not
generally known that those supporting this plan
maintain permanent organization. and raise
money by assessment on members to pay the
expense of circulating literature. Moreover, the
failure TO secure a measure last year did not
weaken the organization. which subsequently
began the preparation for a renewal of the
struggle.
The general belief is that the measure this
year viii be q straight ive-miu tax. Last years
measure proposed 10 mill record tax The
latter il was estimated, would net not less than
S2,5OoOo0. sum that would come at an OPP
perfume moment to defray the early expenses of
the canal Improvement and make up the de-
crease in State revenues incident to the decision
OF the Court of Appeals on insurance taxation
measures which will lessen the State revenue by
upward of S1,000000.
The mortgage tax question was bitterly con-
tested in the session Of 1903, when a measure
was introduced providing for a straight five
mill tax on all mortgages Of record. This meas
ure exempted life insurance companies saw
uons, and II estimated that ii would pro-
duce approximately S10.OO0.O0O. It was pro-
locality; 81 per cent of the sum would be raised
In New-York City. This measure was doomed
through caucus agreement OF the rural MEM
bers
Last year 10 mill record tax was strongly
urged by ASSemblyman Bostwick and cham
ploned by real estate men. among them Law
son Purdy. 1t was finally permitted to die in
the Rules Committee Of the Assembly This
year the champions Of the plan are planning to
CONFER with Governor Higgins within a short
time and then Introduce some form of a mort
gage tax measure
