VETOED THE MORTGAGE TAX.

Governor Stubs has vetoed tine
mortgage tax bill. 1t was, in the
opinion Of many well informed stud
ents Of economics, a merltorious mea-
sure and should have become law.
It is in operation in New York, MIN
pesota, California and several other
states and gets taxes which are now
not secured in Kansas. The borrower
might have in some instances paid
the tax, but he pays the tax now. ON
the other hand there are millions Of
dollars invested In mortgages in this
state which do not pay any taxes
here and should do so as well as the
local money. The time will come
when this tax will be imposed and
the fact that the legislature after ex-
haustive discussion passed the bill
indicates that there is strong SEN
timent for 1t. 1t is unfortunate that
the governor took the other view.

HoCH on PUBLIC UTILITIES.

Marion Record: The idea that q
state commission should run every
little local utility, every farmers tel
enhone line, was not advocated on
the stump by single speaker during
the last or any other campaign OF
by any newspaper. And If 1t were
not for the dust that has been kicked
nm over the matter no one wouio
venture to advance such PROPOSE
ton now. 1t was feature not only
not essential to the Utilities Dill ana
all the things the most vigorous ana
sincere champion Of such measure
could hope to accomplish by sucn q
law but feature in support OF which
in large part the very ones who were
nusbing the original bill finally
agreed to eliminate. And having
done so, they admitted that the es-
sential provisions Of the bill were IN
no way disturbed.
Rut it is should not local
utilities be amenable to law the same
AZ the railroads and all other state
wide utilities?" Certainly. But DS
whom? BY a state commission SIT
ting in Topeka or by local otiicer'
directly answerable to the people
who are concerned?
Ample control by the state poare
~ all inter-county, statewide utili
ties, and ample control by local macn
inery of all purely local utilities-
that is the reasonable and logical leg
,slation desired. Along those hne'
make the law as strong as it can p
made. -.
The Record ventures the predic
tion that not a politician will go IN
to the next campaign urging the sec
ondary feature originally containe'
in. but afterwards largely eliminates
from the socalled Original utilltie
Bilp"-namely, the turning over OF a.
purely local utilities to a state DoarO

WHY A "BLowq"

The Topeka Capital finds itself In
a pretty pickle. 1t has been advo-
eating a filing tax on mortgages for
months. When the legislature passed
such a law 1t was in great glee. Gov.
Stubbs is shying at 1t and there is q
rumor that he will veto it. This Will
be hard blow at the Capital. Law
renee Journal.
Why blow to the Capital! Must
a paper get down on its knees for
everything that some man, whom 1t
admires and supports in his general
ideas, favors? Has paper no mind
of its own? The paper that amounts
to anything in this world advocates
what 1t believes is right and when
A politician disagrees with 1t 1t does
not alter its course on that account.
The Capital has advocated the mort
gage tax and we see no reason why It
should change its mind now because
Of what Mr.. Stubs or anybody else
thinks. The Capital will be power
in Kansas long after Stubs ana
every other politician now prominent
has passed away.
