ROUND THE WORLD TRIP.

Many of us marked an epoch for
ourselves when Jules Verne wrote
SRound the World In Eighty Days"
Perhaps it was not possible then to
20 around in eighty days. The book
would have been less exciting to
children if it had been possible, but
vt all events it was nearly possible,
and many Of us marked down the
epoch. How many people could say
offhand today, however, to what
those eighty days have been reduc-
ed? A writer in the Daily Mail, +.
A. Mckenzie, tells us that the jour
ney can now be done in forty days,
and that in comfortable trains and
ships, not by the desperate expedi-
ents of Jules Verne. We are told
that the tickets cost only about 1925
second class and $615 first class.
The journey is reckoned in this way:
London to Moscow, two and Il half
days; Moscow to Vladivostok, thir-
teen days; NIadivostok to Yokoha-
ma, two days; Yokohama to London
via Vancouver, twenty-one and a
half days; connections, one day. The

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission is to be congratulated on
the first fights it has won in st.
Paul for the enforcement of the
anti-rebate law. The officials
have been notified of the victory,
though none of them were in
court while the suits were being
fought. The first of them was
the famous Omaha grain case"
against the Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis and Omaha line.
The other was against the Great
Northern. Both of them were
rebate cases in which a rebate of
one-half per cent a bushel had
been allowed on grain under the
guise of elevator charges. The
first suit was fought desperately,
and resulted in the infliction of
the minimum penalty of 81, 600 a
count on each of fifty counts, a
total of $50, 900 against the road
and a similar amount against the
freight agent. Seeing the first
fight was won, the Great North
ern came into camp and pleaded
guilty on each of fifteen counts,
likewise getting the minimum
penalty. Notice Of appeal was
given in each case on the ground
that the Elkins law, under which
the conviction was secured, had
been repealed by the passage OF
the new rate law. This appeal
is a fighting chance, and the In
terstate Commerce Commission
ers do not think it can be made
to stick, for they point out that
the rate law was never intended
to repeal the Elkins law, and the
court will not so construe it. If
the penalties can be enforced, it
will do more than anything else
to break up the practice of re-
batting, and it is to be hoped that
the court of appeals will affirm
the lower court.

!: MORTGAGE !
!: TAXATION !
ROpOnenOpepO4OpOFepe tSzloE4S

During the last three years the state
of New York has lived under three
different laws for the taxation OF
mortgages. In the state of Massachu'
sets mortgages have been entirely
exempt from taxation since 1881.
Berkshire county, Massachusetts, ex-
tends from north to south the entire
width of the state, and borders on
Duchess, Columbia and Rensselaer,
counties in the state of New York.
The mortgage records for 1904 and
1905 for BeIAshire county, Mass, and
the statistics of the mortgage record
of those counties were collected. Sim
liar statistics were obtained from the
city of Boston and the city of New
York for comparison.
Prior to July /, 1905, debts secured
by mortgages on real estate were tax
able in New York in the same man.
ner as any other personal property.
That is TO say, that each person was
liable to be assessed for all taxable
personal property owned by him in
excess of his debts. Although no very
great effort was made in most parts
of the state to assess persons who
owed mortgages, the fear of taxation
deferred many from lending locally on
mortgage security with the result that
the rate of interest on mortgages was
increased by from two to six mills
over what it would have been had
mortgages been exempt from taxation
as in Massachusetts.
In 1905 a law was passed designed
to correct the gross inequality and in
justice of the inclusion OF mortgages
as ordinary taxable property. By this
law all mortgages recorded on and
after July l, 1905, were made taxable
without any deduction for debt, and
without regard to the residence of the
owner, at the rate Of one-half # one
per cent per annum
This law was opposed by those who
predicted that a uniform tax on all
mortgages would raise the rate Of in
terest and the tax would thus fall
wholly on borrowers. 1t was predicted
also that the amount of money offered
for loans secured by mortgage would
be reduced. This is exactly what hap.
pened as will more fully appear in
the following table:
