A TAX QUESTION.

Under the present law, real estate -

should there chance to be a mortgage
on n piece Of real estate that IL taxed

tate.--VermOnt Union Signal.
Is It true that there is a double tax
on real estate. or Is it simply taxing
the owner of the mortgage ON his
mortgage the same as 1t would tax
him II his property was In cash OF
some other form? The law requires q
man to pay taxes on his cash whether
1t is invested in a mortgage or not, sc
1t seems hardly correct to say 1t is a
double tax on real estate" 1t Is hard
for a man to have to payAs much In
taxes on his mortgaged farm as II he
owned 1t free of debt in addition tc
paying the interest on the mortgage
1t Is also hard to discuss the subject
of taxation and not misstate the case

FOR BETTER DIRT ROADS.

The address of Wellington f. Loucks
before the county road conventions on
Road Beds. Grades and Drainage" is one
that every Vermonter interested in the
practical improvement Of Vermont high
ways should hear In II he speaks OF Just
must necessarily rely upon and that is dirt
roads. What the State ought to, and we
believe will, have Is better dirt roads and
In this address Mr.. Loucks tells in prac-
teal way how they may be secured. a
proper foundation, grade and drainage Of
good dirt road constructed from the
soil free from decaying vegetable matter
la something each town in the state can
have and if It does get them the good
roads problem in Vermont will be very
largely settled.
II the machinery necessary to get the
best results Is too great for some of the
poorer towns several of them can combine
and have 1t used in rotation among them.
Mr.. Loucks's statement that the cracked
gravel found in many parts of Vermont IS
superior to any found elsewhere In the
United States, with one or two exceptions
shows that where the soil Is unfit we can
still have good highways. His remarks
also show convincingly the need and adj
vantage of expert supervision by a proper
number of State engineers and are, We
believe. in harmony with the ideas of Gov
elect Proctor
Better dirt roads does not mean the
5000 a mile macadam road that in tbs
popular mind has become associated with
the term good roads here in Vermont
and IL Nermonters want to hear about
good roads that are within their reach
they should attend the various county
conventions when Mr.. Ioucks speaks or
