KANSAS CITY CROP VALUE LOW,
Expert CObsrn's Figares Far Me-
meath 4. =. Governments.

ToPEKA, kans.. Nov. 90 Secretary Co.
burn Of the Kansas Board Of Agriculture
In his last report Of the year to-day says
Despite the unseasOnabl bleness Of the
rainfall for growing crops last summer
the aggregate value Of farm products. with
livestock added, in found to be $507 7,OO0.-
600. an amount exceeded only by the four
years Immediately proceeding. The value
Of the crops, however. is less than for any
year since 1901 and about SS5, 900, 600
under that Of q year ago.

lS.42U.O52 bushels. the smallest since 1874.
with little II any Of commercial grades,
while wheat, with its total OF '2.t6S.051
bushels. and oats. with 2S,125.671 bushels.
exceed the 20 year average.
THE National Department OF Aericul-
ture which presumably has no particu-
lar bias in favor Of our state. in it's state
ment issued recently says: Kansas raised
20 per cent. more wheat. about 20 per
cent more corn and 81 per cent. more
oats than is here indicated.
While the Governments figures appear
inexplicably high, their showing. which
corresponds with those Of other years. e-f
fcctually disproves the claim occasionally
advanced by tiresome carpers and peasi-
nists that Kansas figures are magnifieIi
for advertising purposes or for the bene
Mt Of interests iniInical to producers. A
much more justihabls criticism would be
that Kansas stRtistics are always too con.

Mortgages

The mortgage registration
tax, turned down by the legisla-
ture four years ago and two
years ago, was passed by the
house yesterday and having al
ready been passed by the senate
it is about ready for the sigma
ture of the governor. The vote
on final roll call was rs to 2l.
Many efforts =, were made to
amend it, but only few of the
amendments offered were incor-
porated into the bill and none of
them changed it materially.
AS passed, the bill provides
for a mortgage registration fee
or tax of 25 cents per 500 per
year, and exempts mortgages
from all other forms of taxation.
The bill exempts from it's pro-
visions all mortgages held by
literary, scientific, educational
or religious organizations, 1t
provides for a registration tax of
25 cents per year per $l00, pay
able at the time the mortgage IS
filed. The fees collected in this
manner are to be apportioned
among the different municipal
ties, the same as if they were
made up of taxes on the real es-
tate described in the mortgage
except that ten percent is to go
directly to the state treasurer.
A renewal of mortgage requir-
es the payment of the same fee
as in the beginning. All mort
cages are exempt from all other
forms of taxation. Taxes are
now being paid on approximately
