sENT PETIEION no srUnBs
Farms and Others signed Request to
Governor.

Many farmers and others signed
a petition sent to Gov. Stubbs today
asking him to sign the Cace mort.
gage tax bill.
The sentiment here regarding the
recording tax for mortgages Is gen.
orally In favor OF its becoming q
law. This county has a tax payers
association which drove the tax fer
rets out Of the county and has stood
for better methods Of taxation. It
has endorsed this bill and was in
strumental in having 1t introduced
before the Legislature. The asso-
citation Is composed of farmers,
bankers, business men, etc. A few
personal opinions are:
Ex-Representative j. W. Creech:
II introduced a similar bill two years
ago and found that It met with the
approval Of my constituents, 1t is
the sensible solution of the mort
gage taxation matter"
D. R. Gorden: 1.-THE bill is a good
one. Such law would insure the
taxing Of every mortgage no matter
where owned and would bring much
money out of hiding.
J.. B. Case: II have made study
Of the matter Of taxing mortgage
and believe that the best
plan yet devised is that Of record
ng tax. 1t would make outside in
Vestors who now go scott free pay
heir share of the taxes. 1t should
become a law"
G. G.. Wyandt: "As mortgage
ind loan agent / am certain that It
would be to the interest both Of the
Ocal investor and OF the borrower
0 have a recording tax on real es-
ate mortgages, as It would settle
he tax matter for all time. If mort
ages are to be taxed, this is the
est way"

effect is that all mortgages stipulate
for the payment of tax BY the mort
gagor or borrower, and they also
make the further statement that in
loans on farming real estate the rate
of interest has failed to decline
I'm Minnesota the law exempts
mortgages from taxation except for
this same registration fee of fifty
cents on each 500. The Minnesota
tax commission in discussing Its law
says that the borrower pays the reg
lstration tax and that there is no
change in the rate of interest.
The principal argument made by
the members of the legislature in ia
vor Of this proposed law was that It
would be to the advantage Of the bor-
rover by reason Of q lower rate Of
which argument is not
borne out by the experience Of other
states where similar laws are in op-
sration."

StubbS VetOes the
Tax on Mortgages

Topeka, March 1S.-Gov. Stubbl
last night vetoed the Case mortgage
tax bill passed by the legislature and
today gave his reasons in u message
to- the legislature. It covers three
typewriter pages.
The first reason given 10 that he is
doubtful Of the law standing the test
of the courts, because of the con-
situation which requires uniform
system of taxation. Tl.n governors
message continues:
II fully appreciate the necessity Of
establishing a Just and scientific
method Of taxation of mortgaged
properties so that the debtor and
creditor win each pay their Just

have been in business here for thirty
years or more think they are getting
old too. w. L. Cooley, the jeweler,
arrived in Abilene the middle OF
March, 1879, and went into business
at once. He has had his ups and

persistency and strict attention to

has come to him because he deserves
it.
Thirty years of business life in one

EXAMPLE WHY PUBLICITY
IN CITY AFFAIRS IS NEEDED

At the March 9Th meeting Of the
city council bill for $67 was pre-
sented by Joseph Badger for sprink-
ling. The finance COMMITTEE thought
there should be some deduction be-
cause of the lack of sprinkling at
some time and a motion was made
and carried In open council that the
bill was cut to $62. The proceedings
as written up by City Clerk Graves
read.
HThe bill Of j. e. Badger for Feb
ruary sprinkling, $67 was on motion
allowed at $62."
The warrant, No. 639O, received
by Mr., Badger was, however, for
$1,000. "That was the amount l re-
ceived for It," said Mr.. Badger and
the warrant was shown to others.
The stub In the city clerks record
Of warrants issued shows 5000.
OF course the amount is not much
but the point Is that there is no
check to show whether the bills are
paid as the council orders unless
somebody happens to investigate the
natter through the records.
1t goes to prove that the Reflector |

layers generally. that the city ad-
publish its financial op-
,rations that II may be known just
What is done with the money. There
