RANK INJUSTICE.

ttt h0DcQo Ahty t'ttA ~ " At(thA
number, under the head of "Confls-
cation" points out feature of tax
alton as practiced in Kansas, Mis-
ouri, Arkansas and many other
states that is such a rank injustice
as to be disgrace to the lawmakers
responsible for its existence.
The story and comment of tho
Kansas City paper follow:
when John Risse, Wyandotte
County pioneer, decided that he was
too old to work and that he might
retire and live on the income from
his property, he neglected to study
the complexities and injustices of
the tax system as generally admin
istered throughout the United
States. He sold his property at
$1,000 and took mortgage in pay
ment, expecting 10 live on the in
come of $500 year. The tax of
1886 year he supposed was trans
ferred TO the new owner OF the title.
ut was, but Mr.. Risse found that
the same amount was assessed
against himself as owner OF the
mortgage. The amount of property
in Kansas had not been increased
by the transaction. But the state
was collecting S272 on it instead of
$i36.
"In other words, property may be
taxed just double what other prop
erty of the same sort is PAYING
gross and indefensible injustice.
"Of course, comparatively few
cases of this sort develop. because
people don't take kindly to conflsca-
tion of property, and there is gener-
al evasion of the payment of taxes
on mortgages. II there were not the
rate of interest on mortgage loans
would be advanced to or ~ per
cent in order to take care of the tax.
The result is that the mortgage
tax is a tax on lack of business ex-
perience. II ought not to be toll
Grated"
And it is just this sort of thing
that makes life hard for the man
who has to borrow. In Arkansas the
interest paid by the average bor-
rover is not less than 10 per cent,
to say nothing of commissions to
go-betwe2ns and all the other trim
mings" that are usually added. In
other states. states adjoining ours,
the rate ranges from to s per
cent.
And why do the people of Ar
kansas pay so much more interest
than others?
There may be other reasons, but
the chief among these is that our
legislators. in their great eagerness
to squeeze the last drop possible
from all sorts of financial, or mon
eyed institutions or people, have
twisted and turned in every possible
direction to tax them, coming and
going. They seem to think such an
arrangement all very fine, apparent
~ overlooking the fact that it is the
poor borrower who is thus taxed
that has TO pay every cent of the
penalty. No man with brains above
the quality OF chicken can be-
lieve anything else.
And look at the situation, as out
lined above. Or, getting closer home,
look how the same law affects your
neighbor or yourself. A struggling
business man. forced to borrow
money, say To half the value of his
property. has still to pay taxes on
the properly just the same as
though he owned ii free OF debt. AT
the same time he has to pay the
money lender enough in interest so
that the lender can pay iaxes on the
mortgage. OF course. the owner of
the mortgage does not always re-
port II for taxation, and thus es-

WHAT is THE HARVEST.

WHAT is THE HARVEST.
At last the end of the session of
the Arkansas legislature is at hand.
If there is another state legislature
in the United States that has held
as long a session not many people
know about it. And, since the bick-
ering and wrangling between the
House and the Senate, and between
both and the governor is over, ii will
be interesting to have a summary
from our lawmakers as to what
really has been accomplished for
the benefit of the people of the
stale. The taxpayers who foot the
big bills that the session has cost
would like to know what they have
received for their money-and they
have right to know.
In all the haze of the political ma
neuvering, the contest between fac
tons. the efforts to belittle this man
in the eyes of the people, and the
struggle TO promote the interests Of
this or that mans political aspira-
tons, il has often looked as though
that was the main aim of the men
in whose hands the voters had
placed their affairs. Certainly if
the time and energy devoted to such
things had been given to settling
problems of state. Arkansas would
have been big winner.
As it is, the new state capitol still
is a bone OF contention. 1t will be
an issue" over which the candi-
dates for. Office may fume and fuss
and argue and abuse each other in
the next campaign. And it is such a
tlresome suhject-and such hope
lessly shameful one-a demonstra-
ton TO the world OF the inability of
men of Arkansas TO carry out such
a business enterprise as the con-
struction of a good building without
years of disgraceful wrangle, filled
with accusations OF graft and crook
edness.
Then there's the penitentiary and
convict question. The whole insti-
tuition is a bone of contention for
politicians. 1t a subject for dispute,
for the display of all the unpleasant
features of selfish, envious and
even vicious men. The convicts are
still let out to greedy contractors,
there has been accomplished hardly
a thing in the way Of using this la
Dor in the construction Of good
roads, the hopeful plans for grand
state highways are all in the ash
heap. Not much gain there.
The question of revenue and of
taxation is as high in the air as it
ever was. The legislators have ap-
parently paved around over a good
many propositions, some of which
to outsiders seemed unjust and some
merely foolish. Taxation in the
state is higher than it ever was. 1t
appears to take a wonderful amount
of money to conduct its affairs. The
legislature seemed unable to either
cut down the expenses, as sensible
men in private business would do,
or to devise ways and means to get
more money to do with. There has
been shown a lamentable lack of
craftsmanship shown in this partic-
lar branch of legislation-an there
is not much outlook at this time.
There have been some useful laws
of course. The people of
Polk county have benefited by some
of these. And, when all the furry
is over, it is to be hoped that our
can, without throw
ing dirt or blame on the other fell
low, point esiiss where they have rem
dered service that will prove of val
ne to those who trusted them and
paid their salaries.
