: judgment, there is no question but
what this will be the result.
A prophecy of this nature would
seem well founded in view of the ex-
/ perience of other states. Minnesota,
for. example, enacted a mortgage reg
istry tax law similar TO that of New
York, from which our own Michigan
law was adopted. Speaking of the eff
feet of this law. the Minnesota tax
commission says: Whatever may be
said Of this law, 1t demonstrates two
things: First, greater uniformity Of
taxation, and second, greater revenue"
The Minnesota commission gives COM
parative figures of the revenue derived
under the old advalorem tax law UNI
der which the state had previously OPP
erated-the same as our own law-and
that under the new registry tax law
approximately the same as ours
showed the new law to be the greater
revenue producer.
incidentally, this report also shows
that the new law has brought about a
decrease in the interest rate. This, too,
is an interesting side-light since il
would seem to bear out the contention
that the mortgage tax under the old
system is paid by the borrower by way
of excess interest rather than by the
lender out of his end of the bargain.
Again. the new Michigan law defies
mortgages to include executory con-
tracts for the sale of lands--commonly
known as land contracts. Very many
sales of real estate in recent years
have been made on land contracts for
the specific purpose of avoiding the
mortgage tax. Senator Fowle-pro-
ponent of the new bill-has said:
Reliable real estate dealers from
Detroit inform me that they believe If
the number of land contracts continues
as great as in the past, the tax on
such contracts alone will nearly, If not
entirely, equal the amount derived by
the state from mortgages under the old
system"
In word. there is every reason to
believe that the new Michigan law will
be entirely successful in the matter Of
revenue production; and that, in addi-
ton. it will not only conserve equality
of taxation, but will as well remove a
popular invitation to tax lodging
which, in years gone by. has been very
generally accepted.-Grand Rapids
Herald.

weighing ana considering.
A man who does forceful work must
be able TO dismiss a subject from his
mind when he is done with IL, so he
can do something else. This increases
his power of mental grasp for the
thing under consideration. But If the
mind is entangled in confused sur
roundings, in a hundred and one half
decided things. If its energy is splitup
the focusing power is impaired.
You must concentrate your powers
upon what you are doing, and you can
never do this when a score of things
i'm your mind are intruding themselves
for consideration. When you have
anything i'm hand, settle il and then
dismiss 1t. Half decided things clog
the mind. Study your problem carefula
ly, and make your decision firmly and
let il be final. Let il stand no matter
what others may advise or suggest.
II you form the habit of making
your decisions final, YOU will learn to
use your best Judgment before you de-
eide. If your decisions are all tenta-
tive If you know that they are not
final, that you are liable to take them
up for reconsideration, you will never
develop a fine. strong judgment.
When you make your decisions abb
solutely final. and burn all bridges be-
hind you, and when you know that you
must suffer the consequences of an
immature or a poor judgment, you will

SEVEN HUNDRED CASES.

The long delay in announcing the de-
cision Of the supreme court on the
Standard oil and American Tobacco
cases may find some explanation in
the statement nom Washington that
seven hundred cases are on the docket
of that tribunal.
1t is taken for granted that the find
I ings in the oil and tobacco matters
viii be made public very soon, II may
be remarked, in this connection, that
regard for some OF the important bus
mess interests OF the country make il
imperative that this shall be the case.
But when will the decisions in a
majority of those other 699 cases be
reached and announced? II is estlmat-
ed in Washington. at the present rate
.of progress, al least three years must
pass before this can be done. An the
time new matters are being added TO
the docket of the court.
1t is no reflection on that body 10

NAL of justice 20 hundreds upon humid
reds of litigants. In many Of the cases
large sums of money are at stake. That
money belongs 10 some Of the persons
interested in the litigation. Delays
mean immense financial loss.
II is stated that more than 5000 per-
sons are interested in the distribution
OF one fund now locked up by these de-
lays. There ought to be wisdom
enough somewhere In the councils of
the nation and among the administra-
tors of justice to better these condi-
