They maintain that the tax, IL Inn
posed, will be followed by such a
shrinkage in realty values as to
gravely imperil any of their invest

will be impossible for them, in fu-
ture, to lend more than one-half, In
stead Of two-thirds the value on such
security.
The proposed tax, in itself, is COM
paratively small, amounting to a
trihe less than one-fourth of one per
cent. The leaders OF the Liberal
party, which controls the govern
ment, make no secret of the fact,
however, that they mean TO make the
move merely a preliminary TO the
imposition OF tax sufficient to break
up great estates, and force the open
