SLASH M. P. SECURITIES
Final Steps for Financial Readjust-
ment of Railway.

New York, June 29.-Final steps
for the financial readjustment of the
Missouri Pacific railway were to be
taken at a meeting of the roads di-
rectors set for this afternoon The
plan involved the formation of Sc
curities company and the issue of new
common and preferred shares in place
of those now outstanding.
Oother proposed changes in the
financial reorganization of the COM
pany which once formed the back
bone of the Gould system, included
drastic cutting down of various un-
derlying securities which will mate
rally reduce the fixed charges of the
company. This, it is hoped, would
be accomplished by friendly reorgan
ization without recourse to proceed
ings in the federal court.

Wall ST., New York June 29.-STOCKS--
Canadian Pacific continued to fall while
Rubber repeated its recent low price of

15S and a new low quotation, with in
creased weakness in Missouri Pacific and
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, sales in the
first half hour barely reached 100000
shares, Goodrich being the most active
issues and far exceeding United States
Steel. There was some slight recovery in
the second hour but revival of the selling
movement in Canadian Pacific, which de-
clined to 143A, caused renewed heaviness
all around in the forenoon.
Bonds also were haevy on further foreign
offerings.
A new low record for Canadian Pacific
was the notable feature of today's early
market, that stock selling down a point
to 1i5A. United States Rubber also lost
a point and some of the war shares, includ-
ing Bethlehem Steel and General Electric
yielding fractions. Amalgamated Copper
was among the steady leaders. gaining y:
with an advance of a point in Crucible Steel
and Goodrich. Later Canadian Pacific and
Rubber added to initial losses with an
irregular trend in other parts of the list.

MORTGAGE TAX invalid

cision be rendered in advance of the
date when the law should be set in
active operation. The measure was on
the calendar for decision June IL, but
was delayed owing to the illness of
Justice Silas Porter.
Court Digs Deep.
The court in its decision today went
deep into the question of assessment
and taxation. 1t quoted from more
than score of important tax cases in
Kansas and offered citations from
general laws and constitutional pro-
visions.
In many ways the case was one of
the most important before the
preme court in several years. 1t was
of vital concern both to mortgage
holders and to taxing bodies and
meant general shakeup in the taxa
ton system of the state.
The law before the court provided
for d registration tax of fifteen cents
for each 500 named in the mortga ge.
Friends of the bill claimed the law
would place millions of dollars worth
of hidden mortga ges on record. In
controversion of this theory was the
argument that the mortgage holder
would pay but $50 a thousand dol
lars as against a general tax under the
old plan of from SIS to $50.
-Four successive Kansas legislatures
have fought over the provisions of the
measure. In 1909, law providing a
registration fee of fifty cents for each
500 was passed. Governor Stubs
vetoed the bill. in 1911 when sim
liar measure was before the house
and senate. Governor Stubbs sent a
special message to the legislature init
mating that he would again veto the
act In that session, the bill was
beaten.
The 1913 house and senate passed.
separate registration tax bills. The
measures died in conference when the
legislature adjourned When the 1915
law makers tackled the bill, they sue
ceeded in getting together on df-
teen cent recording fee. Governor
Capper signed the bill.
The Act of '73.
In 1873 an act was passed provid
ing that all notes, bonds, judgments
and evidences of debt secured by
such mortgages, should be exempt
from taxation. Immediately after the
adjournment of this session of the
legislature A. L. Williams then attor-
ney general, rendered an opinion that
the act was unconstitutional. The
statute was repealed at the next ses-
sion
The legislature of 1918 provided
that a constitutional amendment be
submitted to the people providing sub
Stantially that property be classified
for the purpose of taxation. Under
the provisions of the proposed amend
ment, the state tax commission would
have had power to fix these classes
and the rates. This amendment, how
ever, was not approved by the people
of the state.
The alternate writ in the mandamus
proceedings set forth that Matt
Weightman, jr., as treasurer of Shaw
nee county, Kansas, refused to ac-
cept fees and indorse his official GER
tificate On a mortgage which b r.
Wheeler rendered in compliance with
the provisions of the law. Mr.. Weight
man filed d motion to quash the alter
native writ upon the ground that it
did not state facts sufficient to entitle
the plaintiff to the relief sought. The
issue, therefore, became one as to the
constitutionality of the law.

TODaY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago. June 29.-WHEAT-Highe ca
bles and continued unfavorable weather in
the domestic harvest region gave fresh
strength today to the wheat market here
Heavy selling on the bulge caused quick
reaction but rally soon followed. The
July option remained the leader in the ad
vance. After opening 81 a &c to 11ac high
er, priced dipped quite sharply and then
again took the up grade.
Later the absence of export business led
TO decided setback. Predictions were
that harvest weather would improve. The
close was steady at the same as last
night to ~ 1$sc down
CoRN-Corn responded to the wheat
tended to sag owing to somewhat i'm
proved field conditions. Opening prices
which varied from the same last night
TO 3sc down, were followed by a moderate
upturn all around.
Subsequently the market tended down
ward when wheat became weak. The close
was steady at 3sMA &c under last night
OATS-Oats showed firmness from the
start. Reports of recent liberal export
sales encouraged the bills.
PROFESSIONALISM in the hog
market had a bearish effect on provis
ions. Declines though were not of a radical
sort.

In the low classes are no better than
infants and remain as Infants all
through their lives, having to be CON
stantly cared for even in the most
simple matters. Those in the middle
class can not learn any thing and can
not do any work, being unable to dis
tinguish between plants and the weeds
even, but they do not require the con-
slant care and attention that those III
the low class do The high class de
fectives are capable OF doing work
and would be of valuable assistance
in the home The girls could do gen
eral housework under direction and
could even make clothes for them
selves and other inmates, while the
boys could do manual labor incident
to'the carrying on of general framing
operations. There capacity to learn
is very limited, although some of them
are taught to read and write.

is chairman The Reformer does not
mean to intimate that Mr.. Perry will
not do his utmost 10 hasten the pas
sage of this important act. but II
points TO its status as an illustration
of how easy II might be to ignore tho
peoples wishes by the so-called refer
endum plan. Until Vermont has thu
constitutional machinery for real
referendum the legislature should
make no further attempt to evade it's
constitutional responsibility .-Brattis
