PROTESTS AGAINST MORT
GAGE TAXATION

oAOI L IA II lOV
Albert Jay Mock is waging war
on the system of personal property
taxation in the United States. He
is writing series of articles on the
subject for The American Maya
zine. In the April number he goes
after indirect" and "double" taxa
ton. He thinks that it is very un-
fair to tax borrower on a mort
gage. He says:
lis anything meaner and more
petty than for theState to add to the
burden of a man who is: already in
debt, to make a man. pay extra,
above his interest, for the privilege
of going into debt? This, too, when,
as a rule, those who borrow on
mortgages, especially small Dor.
rowers, are honest and epterprisine
and need the money: It is an out:
rage to tax them at all; and the de.
vice of indirectness ia the insult
added to the injury.
mot only is the mortgage tax al.
ways indirect, always paid by the
borrower, but it is always double
It puts two taxes on the same piece
of property at the same time. Sup
pose you borrow money on your
real estate in order to finish a
house. The mortgage is taxed. Yet
it has no earthly value except fol
the value of the real-estate behind
it, and you are already paying taxes
on that. So there you are, taxed
once on the real estate aud once or
the piece of paper that certifes your
ownership of it. This is not fair"

LIVING Sisss.,s

In the April American Magazine
q writer in the department of the
Interpreters House, shows how
the insignificant increase Of freight
rates materially affects the con
sumner in raising the cost Of. living.
He says: ~. -
;. "The railroads have this arru.
ment for the consumer. They Say to
him: Even if you let us charge Is
per cent. more (they want about 40
per cent. %rnore), the extra freight
you will have: to pay on a suit of
clothes from New York to Chicago
will be only three cents, or on can
of salmon from Seattle to Chicago
bne tenth of cent; or, on a pair of
shoes from Brockton, Massachus-
sets, to Minneapolis one fifth of a
ceut-etc; etc,fs4* > =. :. :?
"This is a shrewd argument, and
exceedingly true as far as it goes.
When, however, it is really anal.
yzed, nd actually figured down to
it's true meaning, it. presents a vista
of higher living costs that goes on
mounting ever higher until the
mind is appalled,.
"For instance, let us attempt ONLY
vaguely and half heartedly to fig
ure out what this one tenth of a
cent on little, measly can of sal
mon from Seattle-to nee their own
Enthusiastically means, and let
us presume that everything were
raised the same little insignificant
amount-for that is what they pro.
pose to do. Those fishermen on the
Pacific Coast use nets which are
made in Massachusetts (the freight
on nets to Seattle of course must 20
up); also in that State are made
perhaps the shoes, gloves, slickers
overalls, cooking utensils and
many other things these fishermen
have to buy. Each Of these articles
is going to cost the fisherman a

three congressman, renews the fight

ject and no one can tell at this time
just what divisions will be made.

Senate Bill No. e., relating to me-

% to %. There is a loud protest from
the lumbermen of the state on the re-
peal of the mechanics lien law. and
much interest will attach to proceed
ings in the house.
