at which William j. Bryan was intro

the Jackson club, as the next president
of the United States, was the occasion
Of speech by the Nebraskan, who
said in part:
President Roosevelt recommends legis-
lation which will inform the public in re-
gard to campaign contributions This is
g. far-reaching recommendation and
should receive the earnest support of
every democrat. He also recommends an
enlargement Of the scope Of the inter-
state commerce law, This also is step
In the right direction, and he should re-
ce1Ve the support of all democrats in any
effort which he makes to bring the rail-
roads under strict control.
II the president, with the aid Of the
democrats, accomplishes any reforms, the
public will recetv. the benefit of them.
If, even with democratic aid, he fails,
the educational work which he does will
help the democratic party in future con-
| tests. 'ra-
In municipal affairs the democrats are,
as they should be, quite unanimous in
municipal ownership and municipal fran

fact that a failure to properly regulate
the railroads will compel the public owner-
ship Of railroads. If the federal gov

ownership without centralizat ton, and, az
I believe, without danger to any public in

Dubel had lived ss a recluse, denying

NEW YORK EXPERT DISCUSSES
LOCAL CONDITIONS.
How the Personal Property Tax, Started
by Accident Here, Lets Foreign
Money Escape Taxation and Has a
Tendency to Drive Local Money
Away-Other Features.

At his monday talk in the CONNER.
ciaf club Friday, Lawson Purdy OF
New York, the tax expert, touched
no matters that have concerned the Min
neapolis Real Estate Board deeply: One
was the taxation of mortgages. Wiscon-
sin has exempted mortgages from taxa
tion, he said, a most beneficial move.
II Wisconsin people can borrow money
tax free how can you do business with
something better next door, and keep
Mr.. Purdy said that the general prop
erty tax in vogue in Minnesota was
started by accident. The theory was
that men should contribute to the sup
port OF the government in proportion
to their means. It has no economic
principle as it's basis. It's adherents
give as example of its operation at
mosPherlc 1R% pressure, equal IL, in all al,
all property so that none of it can es-
cape from one part to another to es-
cape taxation.
The real estate men have been
troubled very much with the failure
of the theory at this point. Foreign
money is loaned in Minneapolis with
out taxation and local money has to
escape to other parts to avoid the tax
stion on mortgages.
''The theory would be all right, ''Mr.
Lawson said, "if Minnesota were the
