MORTGAGE TAX LAW
Provision Of the Measure Enacted BY
the Legislature.

the Legislature.
From Fridays Daily.
The new mortgage tax law will 90 in.
to effect April 30. The provisions of the
law, briefly stated, are as follows:
Beginning April 30 no mortgage can
be recorded without presenting it to the
treasurer and paying the tax, which is
one half of one per cent, or 80 cents on
the $lO0 The receipt for the tax will
be stamped on the mortgage showing
the amount paid and the treasurer's
payment number. The receipt will then
be countersigned by the county auditor
after which it will be ready for record
and will be recorded with the mortgage
in the office of the register of deeds.
These mortgages will be exempt from
taxation, whereas heretofore they have
been taxed as personal property. No
mortgage will be valid unless it shows
the exact amount of the obligation, so
the registration tax will have to be paid
on the full amount of the indebtedness.
The payment of the tax is absolutely
mandatory, and unless it is paid the as
signment of the mortgage OF foreclosure
proceedings will not be valid"
As to the law as it applies to mort
cages already of record: The bill as it
was finally passed was amended to take
effect April 30, 1907, in order that all
present owners of mortgages might pay
the tax in the same way as will owners
of new mortgages and present the mort.
gage to the register of deeds in the same
way, with receipt stamped on the mort
gage. The register of deeds will then
be required to note OH the margin of
records that the registration tax has
been paid. This will exempt these
mortgages from the personal property
tax in the same way as in the case OF
new mortgages. The register of deeds
will probably charge the regular fee of
10 cents for making the notation on the
margin of the mortgages, just as he
does in the case of margin satisfactions.
The clause provides that the law go in
effect April 30 for the reason that on
May | assessors are supposed to list all
mortgages of record in the names Of
residents of the county for the pur-
pose of personal property taxation.
Al mortgages already of record which
are to be presented for the payment of
the registration tax must be accompanied
by an affidavit of ownership giving a
description of the property and show
ing the amount which is still due OH the
mortgage. Owners will only be required
to pay the tax on the unpaid portion Of
the mortgage. These affidavits must be
filed with the treasurer as protection
against fraud.

care and maintenance and purchase of
additional lands for Minneopa state
park, to be expended under the direc-
ton of state auditor" The bill calls for

st. Paul, April 26.-No member of
the legislature can be candidate for
governor at the next election. No
member of the legislature can be a
candidate for reelection, either, in the
light of the above decision. Further
more no state senator can be candid
ate for governor until 1912, as their
offices hold over until 1911.
Attorney General Young has rid him
self of nearly all his rivals for the re-
publican gubernatorial nomination in
1908 by his opinion given the legisla-
ture that they had the right to raise
their own salaries.
There is no question of their right
to raise the salary, but there is no
chance for them to come back and en-
Joy the raise under the state constitu-
tion. Nor can they run for any office
the salary of which they have raised.
The governorship is one of these.
The gubernatorial field is now mar
rowed down materially. The most
likely looking candidates for the NOM
ination in 1908 are Attorney General
Young, Jacob F. jacobson of Lac qui
Parle, and George w. Somerville of
Sleepy Eye: unless some member of the
congressional delegation can be swung
into the field. Some of them are report
ed willing if they can be convicted that
Governor John A. johnson will not be
a candidate for third term.
+ Young and jacobson are likely to
have fierce fight for the support of
their own district, as both live in the
seventh, but Young has Assistant At
torney General Royal A. Stone to help
cut into Jacobson's strength in that Sec
tion, as Young and stone may be able
to land two places on the ticket for
that district if they can get control of
