Just a Sample" Of Bill Reds Lyinf

"As a sample of the length to which Republicans will go we
call attention to the fact that the recent Legislature passed
bills increasing the salaries of the deputy state treasurer and
deputy state auditor, both of whom are republicans, while
they killed a similar bill to increase the pay of the deputy
secretary of state, who is democrat.
This is about the smallest piece of peanut politics we have
ever seen, and shows what the Republicans will do if they
get an opportunity.
Either the salaries of the deputy treasurer aud auditor should
not have been increased or that of the deputy secretary of
state should have been advanced also"-Rswlins journal.
The bill proposing to raise the salary of the deputy secretary of
from 81 800 to S21,0o, originated in the Senate and passed that
body without opposition. 1t was killed by the democrats of the
House, who said they thot there should be no discrimination, as the
deputy state auditor aud deputy state treasurer had just been raised
from 81 500 to $1,S0O per year. We give the above as "Just a Sam.

Taxation Of MORTGAGES

The vexatious question of the taxation of mortgages Is not emit
'nfned to Wyoming, as witness this from the Chicago Tribur
hich is referring to the Illinois Legislature.
sit is to be hoped that the Legislature will waste no time over
the proposition that the owner of mortgaged real estate shall
be relieved of the tax on that part of the value of his property
represented by the lien and that the mortgage holder should
pay the tax on it. This is an expedient which has been
tried in many states and has failed in all. The lender has
shifted the tax back to the borrower in one way or another.
The borrower has invariably had to pay an interest rate high
enough to make good to the mortgage holder whatever tax he
might have to pay if the assessor we're to run him to earth.
That is what the assessor generally fails to do"
