careful attention, Representatives OF

Hoke Smiths Platform.

Hoke Smith has just been inaugurated Governor
of Georgia Reports of his address are rather pa
simonous but still sufficient give fair picture of
his views and Intentions He favors rigid control of
railroads, urging that the powers of the State Rail-
road Commission be strengthened. He denounces
lobbying a crime and wants it so denomnated In
the statutes He alludes the free pass as means
Of partyEpotical bribery. In his remarks anen dis
franchsement he makes no direct allusiOn to the
matter of race color, hut it is claimed that the
suffrage system that he advocates would practically
make the negroes cipher in the elections. On that
question he Is presumably in line with the command
ing white men of his state, both Democrats and Re
publicans, but the wisdom of considering the subject
in his inaugural address will be doubted as a matter
of policy.
Governor Smith was prominent figure in Pres-
dent Cleveland's binet, but is now almost elastic
enough in politics to be Bryan man. AS for him
self the governorship of Georgia is probably his
limit in public life, but he has chances for the S-n-
ate some day.-Enquirer.

REGISTRY TAX LAW
MInnesota's New Enactment Brings
Mortgages Out Of Hiding.

moIhSaSCS cut " T1lliH9'
The legislature of the State of Min
nesota has enacted a law providing for
the taxation OF mortgages on real
property
The law imposes tax of 30 cents
upon each 10000 OF major traction
thereof OF the principal debt or obli
cation secured by any mortgage on
real property situated within the state.
Mortgages upon which this tax has
been paid shall be exempt from all
other taxes, The tax imposed by this
act is payable at or before the time of
Ming the mortgage for record.
The new registry lax law Is more
than making good the promise of its
hackers, In the county in which Min
is situated, for instance, on
the first day the law went into effect be.
tween 50 900 and $4,000 was received
as q registry tax against $4,000
paid during the whole year previous.
The valuation was close To two mil
lion dollars as compared with $l60 900
returned for taxation during the past
year. Some of the mortgages were
old and had been concealed for years,
