Mr.. Jacobson's speech at Walker
last week was one of his best efforts.
He told his audience exactly where
he stood on important questions and
promised, if elected, to favor in
creased appropriations for the newly
established immigration bureau. Mr..
Jacobon said the time had come to
advertise the advantages of the state,
not only with a view to settling the
large section in northern Minnesota,
but also to bring back to the farms of
the older sections their former value.
His talk made a strong impression
and he doubtless gained many votes.

Down in the second congressional
district Hammond, the Democratic
candidate for congress, is AFRAID to
mention Bryan's name, and Gov.
Johnson, seemingly, does not know
that the democrats have a presidential
candidate. At Blue Earth thefother
evening a little creature named Ross,
whom an all-wise Providence has en-
dowed with more money than brains,
presided at meeting where Johnson
and Hammond were the speakers, and
in introducing them he solemnly de-
clared that the election of Bryan to
the presidency would be a national
calamity. Neither Johnson nor Ham.
mond resented the insult offered their

Governor johnson is an adroit
politician. When talking to an audi.
ence largely composed of democrats
he enunciates straight democratic
doctrine and urges his hearers to
stand by democratic candidates. In
republican strongholds he pleads
earnestly and eloquently for indepen-
dence in voting. Here is a sample OF
the talk he INDUCES in when appeal.
ing for democratic support
"The democracy Of the nation and
state comes to you in this campaign
with platforms and candidates which
need no apology: I believe that every
good citizen ought to identity himself
with one or the other of the political
organizations of the country, because
political organizations give to him the
opportunity to express his ideals of
government as he can express them in
no other way. I sincerely invite you
to compare the platforms adopted in
Chicago and at Denver. I am quite
satisfied in my own mind that the
study of these platforms will mean
converts to the cause of democracy
generally"

T1x4TION OF MORTGAGES.

Attention county farmer writes the
Union: 81 read with interest your
article on the constitutional amend
ments, and agree with you in every
particular. L shallvote for the good
roads and county superintendent
educational requirements amendments,
and shall vote no on the other two.
Five years ago last August I nego-
tiated a loan on my farm at six per
cent; paid part of the loan this
fall and gave new mortgage for the
balance, and I was obliged to pay
81 per cent. The one-half per cent
extra, the banker informed me, was
on account of the mortgage registry
tax of one-half of one per cent. AS I
understand it that law could not have
been enacted only under the suppo-
sition that the tax amendment carried
at the last election. That law cost me
exactly Sl2.50 more than 1 would have
had to pay if it had not been in
force"
Prior to the enactment of the mort
gage registry tax law all mortgages
were supposed to be taxed at their
face value-that is provided the mort
gagee was a resident of the state,
nonresident mortgages could not be
taxed. The registry tax is an i'm
provement over the old law as under
it's provisions the home lender
is not Disseminated against. But as
a matter of fact, any tax imposed
upon mortgages is invariably paid by
the mortgagor. The registry tax on
mortgages cannot be evaded, because
the tax must be paid before the mort
gage can be recorded. We do not be-
lieve in the taxation of mortgages.
The tax imposes an additional burden
upon the man who is already over
burdened-the borrower. Under the
wide open tax amendment it would
be possible for the legislature to
exempt mortgages from taxation,
but under the same amendment it
would also be possible for the legis-
lature to exempt any other class of
property from taxation. We believe
the constitution, and not the legis-
lature, should designate the classes of
property that should be exempt from
taxation.

~ ONEOF J0HNsoN,s CLAIMS.

During the last session of the legis-
lature the question of the royalty Us
cents per tony received by the state
for its iron ore was being discussed
by a group of legislators and others
in the lobby of the Merchants hotel,
st. Paul. One member thought the
| royalty should be increased to at least
fifty cents per ton. Bob Dunn init
mated that bill doubling the royalty
might have hard shedding, and that
the proper thing to do was to intro:
duce a bill withdrawing the states
mineral lands from market for the
present. Acting upon Mr.. Dunn's
suggestion Representative Rines in
| PRODUCED such bill and it became a.
law. But we will let the Mora Times
tell the story:
Governor Johnson in his opening
speech claims credit for the repeal of
existing laws whereby the states min
eral leases were prospected by and
sold to private interests at prices far
below their true value, and the with
drawal of the states mineral lands
from the market with a view to pre-
serving this rich heritage of the state
for the public benefit during success
slVe generations: The bill repeating
this law was introduced by Repre-
sentative Rines from this district after
comforting. with State Auditor Iverson
and Attorney General Young. It was
passed in the house under suspension
OF the rules and also passed in the
senate after about two weeks hard
work by Senator Victor L. johnson
OF this district. Governor johnson
signed the bill when it came to him
for approval, as he would almost any
other bill passed by the legislature.
Aside from this the governor had no
part whatever in the passage of the
measure. This is about as near to the
truth as the governor gets in his
claims for the credit for all the laws
passed by the last legislature. Isn't
it about time that the people we're
getting WISE to the governors de-
ceptiOn."
