Much was said about thousands OF

that more persons died OF whoopiLg

Alcoholism caused the deaths OF Ga

while digestive diseases caused 23l.S

The mayor quoted Iigures TO show
that there were more divorces In Kan

that prohibition states also had more
paupers.
He showed that the bank deposits OF
dry states were smaller than in liquor

BOOKS .

The Man IN Lower Ten" This
story begins In Pullman car. There
Is an acquaintance between travellers.
There are adventures occasioned by q
wreck. There are damages half way
fatal, but out OF which comes recov'
cry through nursing, and there ro-
nance springs up and the scene
changes from the interior OF the coun-
try TO the seashore and back again.
From first TO last II is an American
story OF the simple. straightforward
kind. The book Is excellent reading.
The characters are attractive; they
have things to say: they have mental
force and are OF the kind that one
likes TO know In real life. The pic.
lures are in color by Christy and they
add much to the charming nature OF
the book.
The Man In Lower Ten" Is written
by Mary Roberts Rinehart. the author
OF The Circular Staircase" reviewed
In these columns not long ago. and
the fine reputation which accrued
from that book Is amply sustained In
this one.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK
FOR RECORDING
FEE BILL
SENATORS "siT UP AND TAKE NO
TlcE" WHEN PRES. WISE, OF
DETROIT REAL ESTATE BOARD,
SHOWS ADVANTAGES OF PLAN.

Lester Z. Wise. president OF the De-
troit Real Estate board. appeared be-
fore the senate committee on taxation
this week to urge the passage of the
Mckay bill. which provides for a spe-
cifc tax Of one-half of one per cent
on all mortgages, payable only at the
time of recording. The bill has the
solid backing OF the real estate board,
and IL was as a representative OF that
body that Mr. Wise made the trip TO
Lansing. His arguments appear To
have made a very favorable impress
sion and chances look favorable for
the proposed measure.
Mr.. Wise pointed out that the real
estate mortgages now held In the
state OF Michigan represent total
sum of s2l0.0C0.000 or these $685.
100000 are held by outsiders who es
cape taxation; $90.000.000 by savings
bank, which are not required to pay n
mortgage tax: $5,000.000 by persons
who offset their indebtedness. and
$30,000,000 by persons who escape
taxation because they cannot be To-
Gated. Thus. taxes are paid on only
$4,000. 900 of the $210.000.000 OF mort
cages under the present law, which
imposes an annual tax OF per cent.
Mr.. Wise told the committee that.
IL specific tax OF one-half of one per
cent, payable at the time of record
ing, were imposed, the revenue deriv-
ed would be far In excess OF the
amount now received and would be
ample for all requirements. In this
connection he produced some figures
that caused the senators to sit UP and
take notice. He showed that New
York state. under the old yearly tax
system, derived only 100000 per year,
In the first year, under the recording
fee, the revenue from this source in
creased to 100000.
Such a law Is very simple one.
easy of enforcement, and thoroughly
equitable. for the tax would be bur-
den on no one" said Mr. Wise To The
Times. IF the tax were imposed
yearly, as some are advocating, II
would mean simply that the banks
would tack on an extra one-half of one
per cent on the interest and besides.
after the first year, We would be back
to the same old conditions We are now
trying TO get away from. Every man
who knows anything at all about the
subject realizes that the old law Is a
farce. The legislators all realize It.
and the outlook is very bright for the
passage of the recording fee law"
