The Present Mortgage Law.

Mr.. Lewis is pledged to work for the
Repeal or Amendment of this law, in
event of his nomination and election,
as Van Buren, county's representative.
What is the trouble with this law?
Read this
Before the enactmsn of the present
mortgage tax law in 1911 mortgages
bore the same rate of taxation as farm
lands; this, perhaps worked an injustice,
being double taxation iD many ir stances;
however no one has ever advanced the
theory that the moneys represented by
NOR .gages should be entirely exempted
from tsXation-This is practically what
the Legislature of 1911 did They said
to the banker and money loaner, eve
will allow you TO loan your money on
farm mortgages for any number of years
you like, but you must record your
mortgages and at the time of recording
your mortgage you shall pay a tax of p
of one per cent, and that will pay your
tax as long as that mortgage exists"
thus the money loaner will pay the 10
significant sum of 30. 90 tax or $1,000 90
mortgage, and that is all he pays il
that mortgage runs for % years-just
one tax paying day for the money loan
er, but the farmer pays every year from
$50 to $50 on a 100000 farm.
II is my contention that this mort
gage tax law should be advanced to
per cent per year. then the income from
the mortgage tax would amount to
something, as it is now we get practi-
cally no income at all from. mortgages,
not enough tax from those filed 10 one
year in the entire county, to pay the
salary of one supervisor.
What is the effect of the mortgage
tax lawY
The effect is simply this 1t costs as
much, or more money today to run the
state, county and township, as it did be-
fore this law went into effect; we are
not getting one tenth the revenue in
taxes from the banks and money loan
ers that we heretofore have received !;
There is deficiency 10 the tax fund
from the mortgage source on account Of
this new law
The result is that the real estate,
tdImS huu StoSho Vi uheICudbuioe VI OuT
county must bear this extra burden 10
the assessments Of this fall and hereafter
as long as the law remains in force.
The small tax Of lone. half OF one per
cent assessed but once in 10, ID or %
years upon mortgages, ia unjust, absurd
and detrimental to the interests of all
the citizens Of this state, except the
money loaner.
Friends-investigate this matter-it is
more important to you at present than
any other state or national issue-it will
strike directly at your purse this fall
and every tax paying time to come, until
the law is amended or repealed.

DIDN'T WANT TO BE HARSH


IAN old customer OF mine from the
interior OF the state came to town
a few days ago" said a PHILADELPHIA
wholesaler. and after leaving his
order for the goods he asked the priv
ilege OF sitting down TO my desk TO
write letter. took him to one OF
the typists and told her to get his let
ter up in good shape, and the two
worked over it for half an hour. Then
the man came back to me with his let
ter in his hand and said:
"'Mr. Blank, this typewriting bust
ness is a great thing
"'Yes.
"'And that's a fine girl who did the
work for me-
"'Yes!'
"'She made her fingers go like
lightning
"'Yes, she is very speedy
Seemed to be perfectly willing to
oblige'
Yes.
"a very nice girl, indeed, and I
hope that she'll get on. In fact, !
want to put in word for her.
That's kind of you. What Is it?'
"'Tell her he said, as he glanced
over his shoulder, that If she'll pay
little more attention to her spelling
she'll come out at the top Of the heap.
Tell her in way not to hurt her
feelings?
But what words has she spelled
wrong?
He held out the letter and point
ed to word and whispered:
1.-The young lady got one IF" too
many In the word, but tell her as
gently as possible
THE word was coffee"

HUMAN NATURE NOT so BAD
New York Newspaper Man Observes
With Pleasure the Aid Given
the Blind.

II you doubt that human nature Is
kind, watch the ordinary passerby In
his attitude toward a blind man. The
office window man was riding in a
Broadway open car the other day. The
car was just barely moving, owing to
some blockaue or other, and kept
about even pace with the pedestrians
who crowded the pavements in their
usual daily hustle.
The eye of the Office Window casu-
ally lit upon blind man, walking
alone, with that upright tilt of the
head so common to the sightless. He
tapped his stick necessarily before
him and moved briskly until he neared
the end of each block, with its hazard
Gus curb. The car kept pace with
him for seven blocks, and upon every
block some one took charge Of that
blind MAJ as he came TO the curb, saw
him safely over and said a pleasant
word In parting.
One young man stayed near HIM for
three blocks, steering him over the
crossings each time. Probably the
man with the tapping stick thought
the friendly guide was different man
for every block. Or does his ear be-
come so delicately attuned to voices
that he fairly sees through hearing?
The Office Window man wondered II
the smiles that so often light the
faces of the blind come from the hab-
1t of thanking people who lend them
friendly aid so many times a day?--

ritation strike.1 and the black coat Is now seldom demanded.
 Whether each and all of the robes of the university are founded on some ec clesiastical model is disputed point, but it Is certain that almost all the regulations for undergraduates dress are survivals of the sumptuary laws. In the fourteenth century "excess in apparel moved the college authorities to require that "de- cent habit" suitable for men or studious and clerkly life, should be worn. and with one change and another this developed into the gown of today. Burleigh's com munications with the vice chancellor of Cambridge and Laud's Oxford statutes, alike show that varieties in style of dress had to be checked from time to time. The square can which is at present un- der discussion was by the way first acopted in imitation of a French fashion, and for a long time was only worn by graduates and scholars. undergraduates not on the foundation wearing round cap. Like almost every other head-dress in use today. the mortar board IS a de- velopment of the biretta, and though It may not be thing of beauty, one would in a way regret it's disappearance. me 'sduare cap survived the bitter oh- slaughts of the Puritans. and grew even more rigidly square after the hes'o ration. and the fastest reports sho" una. the authorities, at Cambridge at leasl' have resolved that it shall not uisappeef'

 The stenographers' salaries ranged from $S to $15, yet hardly any saved money. Va cation season opened the head stenogra- pher's eyes to the far-reachng effect of this thriftlessness. From June to October they were a disgruntled lot
 What's the use having a vacation If you cant go away?" they asked morosety. That some had got together enough for a trip only deepened the ger0@al gloom.
 Save but 50 cents X. and you will have $26 for vacation he head Ste- nographer told them, W. lupon a few started 50 cents a week accounts, which died within the month
 The head stenographer talked the matter over with an officer of the company, and the "Bauverein' resulted.

WAR ON "MORTAR BOARD"
Cambridge Undergraduates Exercised
 Over Question of Academic Dress
From the London Standard.

From the London Standard
 Cambridge undergraduates are at pres ent greatly exercised over the question of academlcal dress. The square cap of cloth and cardboard has long been re- garded with little favor. and some of the folder kind have at last decided to dis card it on some, at least of the numer- ous occasions for which its use is pre- scribed.
 On the banks of the Cam this is re- garded as a change of a revolutionary character. and the college authorities are making a stand against the breach or reg ulations. Yet from the point of view of the Oxford man there is nothing start ling in the no-cap movement, for it is quite probably that he does not even possess a mortar board" Dress reg
 gulation are substantially the same at
 the two universities. but at the one
 they have hitherto been piously kept,
 whilst at the other they are to great extent a dead letter. The Oxford un- dergraduate in his fresher day probably
 buys a cap and gown, and having read
 synopsis of the book of statutes and decrees presented to him on matricula- ton, discovers that they should be worn by him on certain occasions in the day. as well as after nine o'clock at night Maybe he conforms for week or two, but he is soon made aware that he is not behaving in a sophisticated manner An unwritten law has it that the only occasions demanding full dress are an examination in the schools, or an ap- pointment with the proctor. for which a cap is usually borrowed. a gown alone being sufficient for chapel, hall or lee lures. To wear either the one or the other when taking nocturnal ramble is to proclaim ones self as very fresh
 or very fearful, of parting with a fine,
 though ninety-nine out of hundred of lenders go there way with impunty l To the Oxford man, therefore, there is something distinctly strange in the spec tacle of Cambridge undergraduates going | to the theatre and restaurants in academ-
 ical costume. and the present revolt will
 caurse no surprise. They themselves have l had their troubles in the matter of dress particularly on the occasion of examin-
 ations. For these it is ordained that, in addition to a cap and gown, a white tie
 must be worn, and the coat and waist
 coat must be black. These latter arti- cles do not always form part of the
 undergraduate wardrobe. or rather, they
 are of a kind only suitable for evening use and considerable excitement was caused some years ago when a number of candidates presented themselves one
 morning for examination in a costume which suggested revelry prolonged from 1 the previous night. Such a demonstra- !! tion might well be described as an ''ir-
