MORTGAGE TAX.

New York has a mortgage record
ing tax law which has increased the
revenue from mortageg taxation over
the old system by 800 per cent and re-
suited in a reduction of interest rates.
The principal virtue of the law is
that it's operation does not admit
fraud, since a mortgage to be legal
must be recorded, and to be recorded,
must pay the tax. Small as this latter
is in proportion to the 2 or 212 per
cent formerly levied, it has increased
the revenue because formerly more
than so per cent of the mortgages es.
capped taxation altogether
The New York Sun, reviewing the
operation of the measure, reports that
"the new law warded off a serious
shortage of mortgage capital in this
town during the latter half of last
year. 1t will no doubt react before
long on the rates of interest, bringing
them back to the normal level of per
cent and Az per cent, and perhaps
establish them eventually at so low a
rate as 31a to per cent"

/ TAXATION AND
REFORM IN OREGON

The legislature of the state of Ore
gon has been working out taxation
problems during its last session. In
line with other progressive states. an
amendment to the Oregon constitu-
ton is proposed. The citizens inter-
ested in tax reform want an amend.
ment giving the legislature the broad
power of classifying the subject Of
taxation and deciding what will be
taxed for state and what for local pur-
poses.
oregon has had a taxation commits
sion at work for some time. From
its report, recently submitted, the con
clusion reached there is that the gen.
eral property tax is not working well
and that it ought to be abolished in
part at least. It is suggested that it
would be we'll to have separate
sources of revenue for state and for
local government, and the only way
to attain this is by amending the con-
stitution.

Nor a ooop sYersM.
How the Mall Order BusIness Injuries
the Agricultural Sections.

We must admit that the mail order
system is legitimate business If It is
carried on legitimately. It is a great
American privilege to carry on trade
in this way. Yet the principle from
an American standpoint or any other
standpoint that is consistent with
equal rights for all Is entirely wrong.
Through the mail order system the
merchants suffer a direct loss To
them it is an unfair competition. 1t
diverts trade from established chan
nels. The loss of the merchants IN the
local town means a loss to the town
itself, to every resident OF the town
and the surrounding community. 1t
is the business of the city or town
that makes it live place or dead
one. Dependent upon the activity Of
a town is to a great extent the value
OF all farm lands in it's trade territory
Thus is the farmer affected by any
system that causes a deterioration in
his home town Yet the farmers are
the main supporters of the catalogue
houses. They assist in feeding the
snake that is stealing their eggs and
they little realize it. They are as vi
tally interested in the upbuilding OF
their home town as the merchant. 1t
is for their benefit as we'll as for all in
the community that the town is there.
There is a more vital phase of the
question that few farmers realize.
That is the evils resulting from the
vast capital that is concentrated in
the large financial centers. 1t is this
surplus of money that makes it easy
to build up trusts and combinations.
These trusts affect the affairs and the
prosperity of the farmer. He does not
stop to think that when he sends his
money to the distant concern that he
is doing just so much to help along
the trusts.

The soldier who wins his cross

heroism and bravery in the face OF
fiery perils And you must buy the
honor of that immortal company OF
martyrs and heroes into whose pres
ence death will introduce you. See
to it that when you come in you are
not unknown, obscure, or looked upon
as a guerrilla! Be a leader of some
heroic band, and fight even for lost
cause. If troubles break you down
for time, even as some storm beats
the bullrush into the ground, lift UP
your head again when the sun shines
out and take up your task anew. 1t
is a great moment for society. Every
man is being counted. Be sure that
you are on the right side.-Chicago

IMPROVING TAX LAWS.

Taxation is the subject of investiga-
ton and discussion in many states
and three reports have been made
by special commissions which give an
interesting indication of the present
trend of expert opinion.
New York's commission recon-
mends the abolition of the tax on per.
sonal property and the imposition of
a progressive tax on inheritances. The
California commission is also opposed
to taxing personal property, but as
serts that if it is to be taxed the rev.
enue should go to the counties ex-
clusively with the revenue from the
tax on realty. 1t is further recon-
mended that all corporations and
franchise taxes be reserved to the
state.
The report Of the Massachusetts
commission proposes the taxation If
direct as we'll as collateral Inherit
ances, of billboards and of stock
transfers, the retention of all fran
chise exactions by the state, and a
graded tax on automobiles. 1t is as
serted that with these additional
levies the Bay State could readily
enough abolish the tax on realty as
we'll as on personal property, except
for municipal purposes.
Here in Rhode Island the system of
taxation is inadequate and inequitable,
but no effort toward a betterment has
been or is likely to be made as long
as the country towns are in the as
cendant.-Providence News-Democrat.

CARDINAL RULES OF TAXATION

The remedy proposed by E. NJ.
Thresher of the Dayton Chamber Of
Commerce for the difficulties in the
tax system of Ohio is similar to the
remedy now being urged in many
states. He says
The essence of the difficulty seems
to lie in the attempt to make the coz
stitution deal with details rather than
with principles.
The proper remedy in my judg
ment, is only to be found in an amend
ment of the constitution which shall
give to the general assembly power
to classify all proper subjects for tax
alton in such a manner that
mo subject shall escape its proper
share Of the burden.
mo subject of the same class shall
be taxed more than once.
The tax shall in all cases be uni
form to subjects of the same class
and just to the subject taxed"
