We regret that we are unable to give
facts about the market for long staple
cotton: butfrom what we have picked
up from time to time, we are inclined
to think that the subject needs inves-
tigation. If it be true as many people
think, that the few buyers in this sec
ton who will handle this cotton at all
are seeking to buy 1t as cheap as pos
sible SO as to make profit for them
selves, rather than buy at legitimate
market prices, there should be more
investigation. II It is fact that this
cotton has more value than is being
realized on it, then steps should be
taken to find some way Of getting full
value. This might be better than
dropping the cultivation Of the cotton
At the same time, however, we are not
unmindful of the fact that real values
are a matter of expert. knowledge, and
it is not necessarily the case that pro-
ducers Of this cotton are being unfair
ly treated, either through ignorance OF
design. OF course it may be that some
Of the buyers are handling the cotton
on a purely speculative basis. and real
izing that they have to take long
chances on account Of their ignorance
Of actual values, they buy as cheaply
as they can. The only way the whole
matter can be satisfactorily cleared up
is by means Of intelligent investiga-
ton. ....... -..- . .-

MEootsteps of the Fathers. /"

While the matter published on the
first page of today's issue as condens.
ed from early issues of The Enquirer
under the heading of Footsteps Of the
Fathers" will be found to be Of alb.
sorbing interest on its face, still some
of the things referred to today seem tc
require editorial explanation, as will
no doubt be the case with many Other
things hereafter to be referred to, and o.
course it will be our purpose to make
such comments as may seem neces.
sary to give present day readers the
fullest benefit of the rather ambitious
undertaking.
The two leading subjects of local in.
terest in this county in 1856 appear tc
be the local efforts to reform wide
spread corruption of the franchise, ant
the tremendous excitement over the
question as to whether Kansas terri
tory was to eventually come into the
Union as a slave or free state.
Kansas, which had come into tht
possession of the United States as 6
part Of the Louisiana purchase, was
made a territory In 1854. and under
the Kansas Nebraska act, it was pro.
vided that the question Of slavery
should be left for settlement by the

The Federal income tax law is now
of force; but it develops that there Is
very considerable confusion as to its
exact method Of operation. AS mat
ter Of fact the treasury department
has not itself been able to explain the
whole matter. One source Of trouble
arises in the collection at the source"
proposition. Incomes Of less than
$4,000 in the case Of married persons
and less than $4,000 in the case Of
unmarried persons, are exempt In
the case Of incomes from all bonds
other than national, state or munich
pal, the tax is collectable from the
paying agency. That is the bank or
other financial institution through
which the bonds are paid must hold
back for the government, l per cent
on account Of income tax. There are
no exceptions. But where the owner
of such bonds has an aggregate in
come Of less than $4,000 or $4,000, ac-
cording to whether he is married or
single, his interest payments are not
lawfully subject to the tax. Under the
law as drawn, the burden is on the
bond owner to prove that he is exmpt
and he has to make a showing to the
paying agency to save the l per cent
tax event on a $40 payment. But
these things are in process of being

"SociaI War on at the Capital
Feeling between the wives Of the MEM

aroused the anxiety Of the administra-
ton leaders, including President Will
son himself.
The trouble has been brewing ever
since the wives Of the members Of Mr..
Wilson's cabinet announced last May
of members Of the house they had de-
cided not to call on the wives of the
representatives. Senator's wives were
not included in this ban" That made
it worse; and so did the refusal Of

Indignation in the Texas delegation
In the house became acute recently,

den learned, by a direct question and
answer, that Mrs. David r. Houston,
wife of the secretary Of agriculture,
who had been her friend for years,
considered herself bound by the May
agreement not to visit Mrs. Slayden.

and senators, will not give the usual
reception in honor Of the cabinet

secretary believes that If militiamen

ment, they should be subject to call

that its militia has been organized in

things, the militia Of the country has
been organized into tactical divisions.
officials Of the war department point
out that circular No. 8 officers have
not the organizations corresponding to
their grades. For instance, it was
explained in some states, there are
colonels, where only two battalions
exist, brigadiers without brigades, and
major generals without divisions.
These are the officers which the war
department says must go unless they

TAKING MORTGAGES

Auditor Broadus M. Love has re-
ceived the following from Comptroller
General Jones in reply to an inquiry
bearing on the subject Of double tax
alton as involved in the proposition of
land title, partly or fully covered by
mortgage:
'Your letter of the .7th received, in
curing as to the right to tax credit
evidenced by bond and mortgage for
the purchase money in land. in the
hands Of the seller, and also the land
and suggesting that this is double tax
alton. especially where no money pass
ed hands, has been received.
II beg to advise that although no
money passed hands, the credit Great
ed by the transaction is personal prop
erty, Of value to the seller, which takes
the place in his assets Of the land sold
by him; he could sell or transfer II to
third party who might be willing to
pay Its value. Hence, the seller Of the
land Is required to return the bond
and mortgage for taxation, in the same
way as all credits due taxpayer are
to be returned by him. after deduct
ing from the aggregate amount Of such
credits all debts due and owing by
such taxpayer. l
"The purchaser of the land, when he
pays cash for the land, Is relieved
from paying taxes on this cash SO
parted with by him, and pays taxes on
the land bought. So, If he buys the
land on credit he must still pay the
tax on the land as specific tax, the
law not allowing ones Indebtedness to
be offset against the value OF his land
for taxation.
1.-The seller Of the land, II he gets
cash money in exchange, must pay
taxes on this money as cash in hand,
so IL he gets q credit, on bond and
mortgage, instead of the cash, he pays
the same tax on the credit which rep
resents the purchase money.
II understand that amny people
have an erroneous impression that II
they have a mortgage on their land II
should reduce the value Of the land
for taxation, but 1t does not. The land
is a specific and visible subject OF tax
alton, and can not escape Its burden
Of taxation; the purchase moneys
therefor, like other credits, may be so
hidden, that 1t can not be found and
taxed. but it is subject to taxation and
should be taxed In the same manner
as other credits of the seller. This may
appear to be double taxation. but 1t Is
not; as the seller Is to pay on the
credit belonging to him; and the pur-
chaser on the land he gets-two differ
ent pieces and species of property. OF
course the bond and mortgage or q
credit evidence thereof should be val
ued for taxation on the same per CEN
tage basis as other property. and not
at its face value, and II 1t was 80 re-
turned q proper abatement will be al
lowed to place 1t on the same per CEN
tage basis as other property, and 1t
should be taxed at the place OF res.
dence of the taxpayer II In this state" :"

The imposition Of the Federal tax on
incomes has brought up the question
as to whether the state tax on incomes
of $4,000 should be repealed, and the
subject promises to be live one at
the next session of the general assem-
bly,. The argument Of those in favor
Of the repeal Of the tax is the wrong
of collecting twice from the same man.
The argument on the other hand is
that the state income tax has hereto
fore amounted to nothing for the rea-
son that the majority of people subject
to the tax would not make honest re-
turns and very little could be collect
ed; but since the Federal government
will be more successful in getting a
square showdown there will be less
trouble in making up the assessments.
The double taxation argument is usu-
ally dismissed on the ground that such
taxation is common throughout the
whole governmental system, all other
property being subject to levies for
state purposes. county purposes. mu-
nicipal purposes, etc.
