NEW RICH MANS LAW.

The above heading refers tt
the law passed by the Legislature
of Minnesota which provides fo1
the special taxation of "money
credits.
This law provides that al
money and all paper and accounts
representing money shall be tax
ed at 3 mills on the dollar, or 81
cents on every 500. If ever ther,
was an unfair and corrupt Law
this is one. 1t is law formed
entirely for the rich. The mar
who has $1,000 in money cred
lts'' pays a tax of So on tina
property while poor man wht
has pop and peanut stand, will
a little candy thrown in, if thu
assessor finds $1,000 worth o:
truck in the shack, may pay a tai
Of from $50 to $40.
A poor man who has put al
his savings into a little home has
been able to make it appear such
that the assessor thinks it shoulc
be assessed at a thousand dollars
will have to pay from $50 to $40
while his neighbor who has money
to loan at interest and discloses
to the assessor 81 1000 worth OF
money or credits walks up to the
county treasurer and pays So in
taxes.
A man with 900 mortgage
on his home or business, on which
ne pays 8 per cent interest, is as
sessed for the property as if he
owned it and in addition to the
$50 he has to pay as interest to the
holder Of the mortgage he pays
from $50 to $40 in taxes. That
ii 900 represented an outlay OF
$lzO-eighty dollars in interest
and forty dollars in taxes.
But how does 1t operate on the
rich man! Take for instance a
man with $1,000 of credits. He
mas notes calling for s per cent in.
terest. He receives on his proper.
ty an income of $50 and under
this law of 1911 he pays a 3 mill
tax for So on the one thousand
In one instance a poor man has
title to borrowed property for
which he pays an interest rental
of $50 and the taxing power OF
the state steps in and says. "You
must pay $40 in taxes
In the other case the rich man
has 81 90 which he has loaned out
and for which he is receiving $50
per year as rental. 10 him comes
The taxing power Of the state anu
says: Because you told us of
the 81, 900 for which you are re-
>'eiving rental of $50 per year
we will let you off with tax of
r:;;--threp. dollars. '-Minnesota

progress that is desirable.
The Hattiesburg Commercial Club

We have put Hattiesburg in such
big type on the map that you don't
need to mention Mississippi, when
you speak of Hattiesburg; there is
only one Hattiesburg and everybody
who reads the newspapers, know it
There never have been such bright
prospects for the future of Hatties
burg and it's Commercial Club. Al
that is needed now is an appreciation
of our opportunities and a determine
ton to make the most of them.
Cooperative effort through the Com
mercial Club, is the way to get the
results.
Be there Tuesday night; smoke
cigar with us and inhale the optimis
tic spirit of the occasion-help us I'd,
