Hooelno DOWN CORN

/, At the North Dakota Expert

pigs pasturing ON a field of 2 1-2
acres. Minnesota 10 corn from
September l6 to October 81. a pc
friOd of five weeks. made an aver
age gain of 81 pounds each or a
gain of 1 81 pounds each per day.
The weather conditions during
that period were not exceptional
'ly favorable to hogging down
corn as there were at least ten
or twelve wet. cold days. On octo-
Der 13. two of the pigs showed a
little stiffness and were removed
from the field. The total gain of
the lot was 8i8 pounds which at
&c per pound would be worth
.$57.26. In addition to the corn
this group of pigs received 1855
pounds shorts. 1885 pounds
tankage and 21O pounds barley.
This feed would be worth 1925
leaving $51.01 as the value re-
ceived for the corn by hogging
down. This gives a value of $780,
40 per acre for the corn without
the expense of harvesting it. even
though it was very poor crop.

H. - Y
That the tax on mortgages Is
added to the interest paid by the
mOrtgagee has been demonstrated
many times by careful statistical
compilations. Not only does the
capitalist add the tax the rate
OF interest," but he adds little
more Tor full measure and safety.
This commission received the
following letter from resident
OF Minneapolis who spent many
years in North Dakota. and who is
tyet heavily interested in North
Gle hope. that Tie Minnesota law

prevail in North Dakota. he said:

vent it. One we'll known finar- :. ~

people would all come here. leav-
ing North Dakota communities to

We will discuss in number Of
bulletins between now and Janu-
ary 1st all phases of property
classiflcations for purposes of as
sessment. In the present bulletin
your attention is called to the
mortgage registry tax law which
prevails in Minnesota. Michigan,
New York and many other states.
Recognizing the fact the owner
Of the property which is security
for the mortgage must not pay
only tax on the full value of his
property, but any tax levied on
the MORTGAGE as we'll. has lead
generally to the repeal of laws
taxing mortgages. While there
are many states which retain the
general property tax law on mort
cages, it is safe to say that they
are not actually taxed anywhere
in the United States.
That this class of property may
not escape taxation altogether a
law has been passed in many
states levying a ia X upon mort
cages when registered. The first
Minnesota law enacted imposed a
registration tax of fifty cents up.
on each one hundred dollars. or
major fraction thereof. of any
mortgage secured by real DrODer-
ty situated within the state. This
was reduced in 1913 to fifteen
cents upon each one hundred dol
lars where the mortgage runs for
five years or less and twenty five
cents for more than five years.
This commission believes that
rather than to allow mortgages to
escape taxation altogether that
the coming legislature should en-
act law providing for a registra-
ton tax. While there may be
mortgages actually listed and
taxed in North Dakota this COM
mission has no knowledge of &C
tual cases of mortgage taxation.
All credits other than that of
banks. bankers and brokers in
1913 was assessed at S434,633,
This includes chattel mortgages
together with unsecured notes.
book accounts. etc. The proposed
law would increase the revenue
from this class of property and
would probably not be shifted.

Reverse Judge Henry
in Will Case Appeal

Dauphin County Court appeals figured
considerably in the decisions handed
down by the Superior Court yesterday
afternoon, among which was an appeal
from Judge C. V. Henry, Lebanon, who
specially presided, and in which the
courts judgment was reversed. City
Solicitor ID. S. Seitz was the fortunate
attorney for the appellant in the case.
The question was an appeal from
Judge Henry's decision when excep-
tions were filed to the report of the
auditor who distributed the estate of
Katherine Lightner. an aged seam
stress. Miss Lightner for years re-
DeWalt, superintendent of the United
Ice and Coal Company. BY her origi-
nal will she bequeathed $500 each to
the Misses Mabel G. and Helen e.
DeWalt, daughters of the superintend-
ent. and 500 to Annie Cottingham.
The residue she left to the Home for
the Friendless, Fifth and Muench
streets. Eleven days prior to her
death she added codicil where she
reduced the bequests to the Misses
DeWalt and left the remainder of the
will unchanged, thereby adding about
$500 additional to the bulk that was
left to the charitable institution. Mr..
Seitz, attorney for the Misses DeWalt
excepted to the auditors report, but
Judge Henry overruled the exceptions
Then the appeal was taken, the city
solicitor contending that the act of
1855 specifically provided that no
changes of will to charitable insti-
tuition could be made within one calen-
