THE COST OF PAPER.

print paper such as we use has
gone up to $40 a ton," says the Smith
County Pioneer. 1--WE use over a ton
in two months. Two years ago the
same paper could be bought for $45.''
Not long ago the Sa1ina Journal as
serted that it had been required to pay
$1,000 for a carload of paper that it
could have bought a year before for
$500.
The Wichita Eagle says that daily
newspaper subscribers are getting
their papers today for less than they
could buy the blank paper for.
From all over the country comes
the same complaint on the part of
publishers. John Norris, a New York
newspaper man, has made a careful
investigation there, and he finds that
the increase in the cost of paper for
sixteen New York newspapers
amounts to $2.16O.OO0 yearly over two
or three years ago.
Some of the magazines have made
up this increased cost partially by
raising the price of their publications
to subscribers, and few country
weeklies are trying to do the same.
There is movement of this kind
among Kansas country editors. The
ten-cent magazines are becoming few
these days. McClure's, which has sold
for ten cents almost since its birth a
dozen years ago. has announced an
increase of fifty per cent in its sub
scription price. Daily newspapers,
however, have tried to meet the in
creased expense by making better
papers and enlarging their business.
In fact, few years ago, fifteen cents
week was the usual price of the
average daily when delivered by car
rier. The subscription rates have ac-
tually decreased.
While this tremendous increase in
the cost OF white paper is laid at the
door of the paper combine, conditions

TAxUNG MORTGAGES?

We wish to ask a question OF the
state tax commission: If man owes
q thousand dollars on his home and he
Is assessed upon 1t at its full value and
the man who holds his note for the
debt is also assessed, will that not be
double taxation and will 1t be right P
Concordia Blade.
OF course there is only one answer
to the Blades query. 1t would be
double taxation and it could not be
justified.
There has been so much discussion
during the last four or five years about
the assessment of notes and money
and mortgages, and the effect 1t would
have upon borrowers and investments,
that the issue has been much befogged
and many false theories have been ad-
vanced
If A. owns a home worth $4,000 and
there is a mortgage of $1,000 on 1t,
which A. owes to B., in reality A. owns
only half of it and should be so as
sessed. B. owns the other half and
should pay taxes on his half by nav
ing his mortgage taxed.
In other words, when A. returns his
farm for taxation, he should also re-
port the mortgage on it. The farm,
from a standpoint of Justice, ought to
be assessed at its full value, less the
amount of the mortgage. and. B.
should be assessed for the face of the
mortgage. This would avoid double
taxation, and each man would pay his
portion.
But" argues some one, 1.-The mo-
ment mortgages are taxed, that mo-
ment interest rates will go up and
money will be driven out of the state"
Let's see about that. If all property
were assessed at its real value and no
property escaped taxation, the average
tax rate in Kansas would not be more
than one per cent-probably consfd-
erably less. So interest rates would
not possibly advance more than one
per cent, and the borrowing clase
could well afford that if thereby it
would be exempted the amount of its
debts and if the $50 or 500 millions of
mortgages and money that now escape
taxation would be placed on the tax
rolls.
Naturally, money ought to return
certain net amount. and if mortgages
are taxed, the tax rate will be added
to that amount, and rightly so, but
the burden will be less on the borrow
er In the long run.
Why would 1t not be possible to
prohibit the release of mortgages on
the public records until the taxes on
them have been paid? That would
eliminate the tax-dodging feature, so
far as mortgages are concerned.

A REASONABLE REQUEST.

This contention of the railroad
companies that the ruling of the
interstate commerce commission, re-
quiring them to keep copies of all
freight tariffs posted in a public place
in every station or depot, is foolish,
seems reasonable. Anybody knows
that anything posted IN the aver
age small town depot is speedily
mutilated, and a bulky freight tariff
schedule, with its numerous amend
ments, would not long be of service
to a shipper unless kept where the
station agent could guard 1t.
Besides, the average man could not
use a tariff schedule intelligently
without the aid of the station agent
or an expert And as long as the
shipper would have to consult the
agent anyway, why not let the roads
simply keep the tariffs on file in the
agents offices. as they desire. sub
ject to the inspection of the public
upon request?
There is no use of imposing unrea-
sonable or unnecessary rules on the
railroads. If they will comply with
reasonable and just regulations. the
public will certainly be satisfied.
