a WAY TO TAX MONEY.

| The announcement that the state
bar association will propose to the
next legislature a bill doing away with
tho tax on moneys and credits arouses
interest in the legislature of New
york state. which is on the eve OF
passing a very drastic mortgage Tax
n7ea sure. Already the New York Trlb-
une has spread the alarm that the pro-
nosed biu will drive capital out of the
state and work serious harm to the
commercial interests of the city
The Tribune, like all other students
of fine mortgage tax problem, ADVISES
the legislature to adopt slight re-
coraine tax and make the recorders
receipt essential to the validity of the
instrument as the federal government
sometimes does when imposing
stamp tax. Amy tax on mortgages,
notes. or evidences Of debt eventually
reaches the borrower and is paid by
him by reason Of the fact that capital
is quick to seek other investmer and
interest rates necessarily rise as soon
as the tax cuts down the money lend
er,s income. Thousands of dollars of
capiAal available for use in local in
dustries has often been driven to far
AWAY investments by the discoveries
OF the tax ferrets. If this is not the
| result it usually follows that the dis
honest man escapes the intended effect
of the law and continues to loan his
| money free from taxation, hence bears
| down interest rates while the honest
| money lender must loan in competition
with him at the rates he establishes
1 and nav the tax besides. This leaves
| the tax resting on the honest capitalist
while the dishonest capitalist escapes,
from which it follows that so long as
the law remains in force taxing
moneys and credits the need of the tax
ferret to make all men pay alike is
very great.
But even the tax ferret is not sat-
isfactory institution. If all tax fer
rets were honest beyond suspicion and
brave above all opposition they might
be excused for other human weak
nesses, but it SO often happens that
retainer's fee to the lawyer ferret ends
the ferret's investigation, that as an
institution it is source of much COM
plant There is no check upon fer
ret. He can deliberately fail to find
concealed property if he chooses and
having notified a tax dodger he can
decide not to prosecute the case if in
ducements are made on the side, and
the public will be none the wiser.
For these reasons the present system
Of taxing moneys and credits has prov
ed failure. Because Of the inefficien-
cy of the law so wise body as state
association Of lawyers has decided to
urge it's repeal. 1t is possible however,
to raise considerable revenue from a
recording tax on all evidences Of debt
IL the payment of such a tax is made
vital part of the instrument, without
which the document will stand inyal-
all moneys and credits to pay the tax
and with all such property taxed the
rate could be made SO low as to be
frctional and need not affect interest

IVA up.n.oNs AND NOTES.

The Carroll Herald team see some
force and reason in this agitation for
central board of education in Iowa,
but Johnson Brigham's proposition Tor
a greater university in the console
dation of the Iowa City, Ames and Ce-
dar Falls institutions, is inexpressibly
absurd
"Mr. Bryan very naturally believes
defeat is a good thing for his party
only when he is not the candidate OF
the party" remarks the Eagle Grove
Eagle, and explains there is large
and eminently respectable element IN
the party who believe defeat is saw
ing discipline when he is the caheil-
date. Thus the democratic party gets
what is good for it, going and coming.
and the country gets what is good
for it, by continuing the defeat OF the
democratic party"
when you find a man that can see
no virtue in the church. you have dis-
covered either an imbecile or char
acter who is trying to brace up an i'm
moral life" asserts the Scranton Jour-
nal.
"Nr. Bryan is always welcome in
Iowa as he is elsewhere because he is
a big man, clean man, an able man
and a nice man." declares the Grundy
Democrat He is one of the few who
make you can enthusiasm when you
can't explain later why" The Demo-
crat. however, believes His visit to
Iowa at this time has not helped the
party any. 1t has removed the scab
from the party wound that was just
healing over. The democrats of this
state need welding before they are
strong enough to go out cunning fo-
new converts and Mr.. Bryan with all
of has talents is unable to supply this
need"
The Glidden Graphic does not an
ticipate that there would be any ma
terial change in the personnel OF the

would result in the retirement from

While the present week has not been
pleasant yet it has not been cold and the
thermometer has been above the freez-
ing point and there has been some rain.
The prairies are completely bare and a
few warm sunshiny days would make the
plowed ground ready for the harrow. OF
course the season is yet too early for
seeding in the opinion of most of the
farmers, but it would not be too early
for narrowing and similar labor.

men are less than twenty-five years OF
age, we'll dressed and had on their per-
son over 5000 in money, besides unex.

Among their baggage we're their soldiers

Mr.. Atkinson, accompanied by J. E. Ash

tended to desert it is said that they have
