With the State Press
A Mortgage Tax Proposal.

The Newport News Press edltorally commends
the bill offered by Senator Holt, OF that city, and
designed to reduce the tax on mortgages to fifty
cents on the hundred dollars, the tax to be paid
when the mortgage is recorded, and half of
the revenue to go to the State and the other
half to the city county in which the loan is
made. Our contemporary characterzes this as
law. The Press also thinks the measure
would be an aid to progress and development.
We, too are inclined to favor the bill, but we
are surprised to find contemporary char
acterizng it as wise and Just when IT has so
strenuously and persistently and consistently
contended that there should be no tax on mort
cages We recall that for two years the editor
of the Times Herald and the former editor and
owner Of the Petersburg 1ndcx-Appeat argued
this question stoutly but indecisdveiy. Even
more recently the Press has advocated the abo-
lition of the mortgage tax as unjust. Now 1t
characterizes a smaller tax just and wise.
Speaking for ourselves 1t seems to us that the
mortgage should be taxed at some figure. 1t
is undoubtedly property, has a commercial
value and yields revenue to its owner, just as
a little patch of ground and a cabin do The
owner of tenant properties pays taxes his
realty. and he also pays taxes on his income
therefrom. if the aggregate amount of his in
come be sufficient to bring him within the APP
pIication of the income law. The owner Of the
mortgaged property pays taxes on the same
because he enjoys the and benefit sof 1t.
The mortgage holder pays taxes on his mortgage
because II is valuable consideration bearing
interest, just If he invested money in au-
tomobile and paid a tax on that.-Danville
Register.

DISASTERS AT SEA.

Our sympathy goes out in large measure to
the families OF those whose lives were ter

but the settings of tragedy at and In the
night add horror to the tragedy Man seems
so utterly helpless in disasters at sea.
Such accidents are usually the result of no
failure on the part Of those in charge of the
vessels to take precautions. Sea captains are
men picked by the owners for such qualities as
are necessary in looking after the safety OF
passengers. They bear their responsibilities well
and when an accident such that which hap
pened Friday occurs, it Is, In the vast majority
of cases, by the merest chance

A BUSINESS STEP.

A step in the right direction toward putting
the State finances on business basis was taken
by the senate yesterday in the adoption OF
Senator Pauls resolution providing for an &C
counting by the county and city treasurers
whenever the State auditor may demand it, The
resolution is reasonable in it's demands and
will force an improvement in bookkeeping all
over the State.
The resolution will have the same effect on
the county and city treasurers that a similar
federal statute has upon the national banks
The treasury department in Washington may
call for an accounting at any time from the
national banks and the national banks are al
ways in readiness for the call.
Some of the county treasurers Use anti
rUuHted system OF bookkeeping and sometimes
do not know the true condition of county
finances. II these men know that the State au-
ditor can and will call on them for an account
ing at any time, they will be forced to keep
their books straight.
The resolution has been adopted by the senate
and viii 60 to the house within few days.
Ii Is to be hoped that the delegates will realize
the salutary nature of the resolution and adopt
it a measure OF safety.

LOBBYISTS.

Delegate Hugh Whites measure prohibiting
the sending of State employees, whose expenses
fare paid with State money, to the capitol to
lobby for appropriations, which adopted by
the house yesterday, is all right enough in its
way but 1t does not go far enough, 1t merely
cuts off small percentage of the lobbyists
which swarm over the capitol leaving the
field still rather "gormed" up with them.
1t must be refreshing to legislators to take
up measure for which there is no lobby. 1t
must be pleasant to be able to walk through the
rotunda without being button-hoed by fervid
supporter or opponent Of particular measure.
But that pleasure is yet to come because the
fervid ones are always at hand.
We have noticed with the deepest sympathy
harassed Legislators fleeing for the haven of the
senate and house chambers pursued to the very
door by men or women crammed to the muzzle
with facts and figures and ready to spout.
We have sometimes wondered in mild sort of
way when the legislators found the time to
think. In the chambers they always either
talking listening and outside the chambers
they are making short distance spirits for safety.
II there is way to do away with all lobbying
II would be boon to legislators in which they
would never cease to delight

CHAMBERS NEW PRESIDENT.

The chamber of commerce is to be congratu
lated upon the election of w T. Reed to the
presidency of that organization. Mr.. Reed rep
resents the best side OF business and his work
as the head of the chamber will surely bring
results of mean order. He is well qualified
to take up the work which has come to him from
a line of Richmond's best business men
MIR Reed has been identified with the business
life of Richmond for many years, and during the
greater portion of that time has been active in
the work of the chamber Of commerce. He has
held many offices connected with the work of the
chamber and in all he has acquitted himself
with credit.
Under Mr.. Reeds leadership predict most
progressive year for the chamber Of commerce.
There are great things to be done and men of
Mr.. Reeds type are the ones to whom the city
naturally turns when such things come up.

official, who has made good on his job and
against whose management of the properties
