dHomePaper

The day seldom arrives in a
mans life when he ceases to be
interested in the daily or weekly
paper of the place that he has
once called home. Granted that
it is printed on the poorest paper,
granted that the typographical
display would make the spirit OF
Ben Franklin blush; granted that
there are no editorials, or editorl-
ais that are not worth reading
grant all this, and still your feel
ings and mine and those of every
other healthy mortal are summed
up in this little poem from Denver
Post:
When the evenin' shade is fallin'
at the eRdin' O. the day,
An a teller rests from labor,
smokin' at his pipe O clay,
There's nothin' does him so much
good, be fortune up or down,
AS thelittle countrypaper from his
Old Home Town.
1t amt a thing of beauty and its
print amt always clean,
But it straightens out his temper
when feller's feelin' mean,
It takes the wrinklrs off his face
an brushes off the frown,
That little country paper from his
Old Home Town.
It tells of all the parties an the
balls of Pumpkin Row,
Bout who SPIT Sunday with who,s
girl, an how the crops'n grow,
An how it keeps a teller posted
bout who's up an who is down,
That little country paper from his
Old Home Town.
Now, l like to read the dailies an
the story papers, too,
An at times the yaller novels an
some other trash-don't you
But when | want some readln
that'l brush away frown
| want that little paper from my
Old Home Town.

members of the household. Mrs. Sage
is now in her eighty-fourth year and
has lived to see completed her great
plans for social betterment, for her

the Atlantic coast to the Pacific.
It has been six years since her hus-
band intrusted to her keeping $780,

age of health and happiness, of play
and the chance to grow and learn.

law 70 the last named date being ~
32O.972.69. .sgi

The mortgage registry tax is in q
measure q compromise between those
who believe that mortgages should
not be taxed at all and those who be-
lieve they should be taxed It is con-
tended by some that to tax both the
mortgage and the property upon
which the mortgage is secured is
double taxation. II this be true, then
the mortgage registry tax law prac-
tically removes the double burden,
for the tax is now 80 light on the for
mer as to be scarcely noticeable. The
average life of mortgage is said to
be about five years. This would make
an annual rate of only one-tenth Of one
per cent instead of from two to three
per cent as under the old law. Such a
tax can scarcely be called burden
some. 1t may be interesting to note
that the supreme court has construed
the law as tax on the security and
not on the debt. In other words, the
tax is imposed on the right to record
the mortgage and not on the debt Sc
cured by the mortgage.
One objection to the law is that the
mortgagor pays the tax. The answer
to this objection is that the mort
gagor practically always paid the tax
either directly, or Indirectly, in in
creased interest rates. Under the fore
es of supply and demand the rate of in
terest is controlled by economic law.
The lender under this principle gets
a compensation for his capital that is
based on its value to the community.
Every attempt by usury law to take
any part of this from the lender re-
suits in the removal of the capital
elsewhere" Men are not obliged to
loan their capital and will only do so
upon conditions that appear to them
satisfactory. Unless the borrower
complies with these conditions he can
not secure the loan. Under such cir
cumstances it is doubtful if any law
could be enacted that would compel
the lender to pay the registry tax.
The mortgage registry tax, like the
three mills tax on money and credits,
is distinct departure from the prin-
ciple of the general property tax.
Both laws in measure recognize the
now generally admitted fact that our
attempts to tax intangible personal
property in the same manner as tan
gible property has everywhere and al
ways resulted in failure.

TAXATION IN MINNESOTA
FIFTEENTH ARTICLE
The Mortgage Registry Tax

Prior to 1907 mortgages were as.
sessed and taxed in the same manner
as other classes of personal property.
The register of deeds was required to
furnish a list of all mortgages or 9TH
|er real estate securities held, owned
or controlled by residents of each dis.
trict. Such list was appended to the
personal property assessment book
and was assessed in accordance with
the amount due on each instrument.
The tax could rarely be enforced
against non-residents of the state, and
as a result, a nonresident could loan
money at slightly lower rate of in
terest and still derive a greater net
revenue from his loan than a citizen
of the state. To overcome this disad-
vantage the practice became common
of having the mortgage recorded in
the name of a nonresident, even when
actually owned by citizen, thus evad-
ing the tax. As a result of this prac-
tice very small amount of public
revenue was derived from this source
of taxation.
In 1907 the legislature passed law
imposing tax of fifty cents, in lieu
of all other taxes, on each hundred
dollars of the principal debt or obliga-
ton secured by the mortgage. This
law applies to all mortgages whether
owned by residents or non-residents
of the state, except mortgages taken
by persons or corporations whose
personal property is expressly ex-
empted by law. The revenue derived
under the law for the year ending
September 80, 1909 amounted to $685.
1901, and for the year ending Sep
TENDER 80, 1910, $5o9,542.25, the total
collected since the enactment OF the
