LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
ATTACKS MORTGAGE TAX BILL
Bolton Hall Says 1t Will Keep Up Interest
Rates and Discourage Building.
= Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; As device for keeping up the rate of IN
terest. the proposed annual mortgage tax bill is
jewel.
Here is who is paying ) per cent a
$2OGlmortgage. piece of property worth 5000.
and he wishes reduce his expenses by getting the
mortgage at per cent AT present the mortgage
goes untaxed, in practice. but if this bill is passed
and he gets at Az per cent. it Will have
to pay tax of one-half Of ! per cent.
The taxation of tenants. especially of those in
search of better accommodations, will be quietly
accomplished by the mortgage tax bill. which i'm
poses tax of so cents 500 that must be shifted
TO the of every newly built rented house that
has a mortgage on it. and shifted by the owner in
the tenant.
"A bill exempt. the Astors. Rhinelanders, Sail
or's Snug Harhor, Trinity Church tenements the
Goelets and other multi-illionaire holders of real
estate should be its title. None of these great es-
tates own any mortgages and their property will.
consequently. be exempt from this tax, which VIII
fall mainly in the first instance, the great ma
jority Of mprovers. who must build on borrowed
money.
The French tax on windows seems TO US ridiculous
and unjust because it discourages making windows
in houses But what shall we say Of a tax that DIS
courages making houses at all?
Surely we are short enough houses without
taxing the plans for new out of existence.
If want to discourage anything by taxation, why
not put legislatorsE
tax on land values. as proposed by 'The Jourhdl
of Commerce." would be conservative and safe COM
pared to this bill to tax mortgages annually. FOR
this bill proposes a tax borrowers with no Justl-
hcation whatever except that they are open TO at
tack, and being generally poor and dlsorganlzeo
cannot defend themselves. whereas THE journal
of Commerces'' plan would at least encourage and
reward Improvement.
1t may seem a comparatively small amount-0o
cents on s1OO-but next year when the legislature
needs the money it will be nicely raised to 81 or
we will be 'let off, with a 75-cent annual tax
which would be equivalent to recording tax OF
~ per cent. assuming the life OF mortgages 10
average ten years.
This bill like the Transfer Tax bill introduces es
a new principle of State taxation or rather OF
hod-up. Two items, mortgages and stock trans
fers are arbitrarily picked out for no other reason
than that they be made to pay. No service Is
TO be rendered the borrowers or buyers; they are
simply the ones be stuck-this year.
Next year If these are allowed to slip through;
it may be windows carriages or sales OF tai
hats or any other thing that can be stamped OF
can't be readily hit Yours truly,

HAzING IN COLLEGES.
EdJtor ~ Tha Trihnne-

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In one of your recent issues 1 noticed an
article about hazing American colleges. This is
a question which it is well to have thoroughly
ventilated. There is doubt that this evil could
be eradcated if the college authorities would come
out against it. 1t is an. offence against the laws
IF every State of the Union (and. by the way
large proportion Of students in colleges appear to
think themselves exempt from all liability to the
law) and is debasing and cowardly. That the
college authorities are afraid to touch the subject
was shown in a case which you published at the
time ii occurred. This where two young men
We're brutaIlv beaten. and the president of the
college refused to take any action. This however
did not satisfy the father of one of the victims,
and I understand he is pressing suit for damages
against the college. j. u SAO114hS'

WAS HAMILTON A MoNARcHIsT?

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: If Hamilton monarchist, what was
Washington? By necessity either monarchist or
an imbecile This and other disputed points IL his
tory can be readily settled by the simple applica-
ton of logic to events and facts as recorded
The hero Of the ages placed Hamilton next him
self in war and in peace. Their patriotic laoors
were not eeparable. When there were great things
to be done-a campaign to conduct constitution
to create or a union to cement-they acted jointly
Our first great commander installed Hamilton IN
his military family his "chief and confidential
secretary" He was the writer of the military cor
respondence which raised Washington high in the
armies of Europe. He was sent repeatedly on the
most confidential missions to Generals Gates, Mr-
fin and Rochambeau. BY a union OF Washingtons
manifold wisdom and his own many-sided genius.
Hamilton inspired TO write in 1885, from
camp called Libertypole. Englewood. N j..
letter to James Duane. which embodied the essen
tial principles of the Constitution under which we
live to-day.
When our finances were IN chaos he was made
Minister of Finance the post OF first Importance in
Washington's Cabinet He the writer and in
part, the author of five of the first Presidents
messages, and Of the farewell address. which IS
preserved in the Lenox Library in Hamiltons
handwriting After leaving the Cabinet he wrote.
at Washington's request. state papers and letters
of counsel and advice, covering a period of four
years for which services Rlgn gTaae a% s o 81
His only reward Was an &pRTGvhs conscience ah''
This is not all the confidence, the trust. shown.
In 1885, when were on the eve of war with
France, the hero of the Revolution. near the close
of his life refused accept command of the army
unless Hamilton should be placed next in rank.
The greatest of the Presidents would not risk all
mis- reputation in a life and death struggle with
France unless the friend that he most leaned upon
and most trusted should be nearest to him in the
hour of trial ard in shock OF battle Which horn,
then, of the dilemma will the enemies of the
greatest constructive statesman that ever lived
finally take? That Washington fool? Or,
that he was himself monarchist?
We can stop with the above latest and most fav-
orable estimate of Hamilton by Secretary Taft.
The plain truth is that the libel, still repeated
by the Observation-Disclosures that Hamilton a
rionarchist, is a base, foul campaign lie.
1t first started for e political purpose by the
Virginia politician who declared that Patrick
Henry was "a barkeeper' and that the spotless
John Marshall had been bought with British
gold''! The three lbels have like basis. H
