ARIZONA PROPOSES A
TAX ON MORTGAGES

Phoenix. Ariz., Dec. 2T-An effort is
to be made to introduce in the next
session of the legislature a bill pro-
vidin- for a mortgage tax, similar to
the law now in force in Minnesota.
Those who have studied the Minnesota
statute declare that if such a bill is
introduced. strong fight will be made
agains it.
The Minnesota law provides for a
tax of so cents on each 800 of the face
of the mortgage. On the face of ii, the
statute is designed to aid the borrower.
The tax is paid by the person making
the loan and the mortgage then be
comes exempt from all other taxes. It
is pointed out, however. that it w fuld
be quite easy for the lender to f srce
the borrower to pay the tax, in addi-
ton TO the interest.
