HARD TO LAY DOWN RULE
WITH D0GMATlC CERTAINTY

The taxation of mortgages is
worrying the people in other states
as we'll as in New Mexico. Some Of
the legislatures now holding forth
in other states are attempting to
wrestle with the subject. but IL is
not receiving great deal ot atten.
tion in New Mexico at this time,
other than from those who hold
these evidences of indebted
ness. And they are not alto
gether satisfied with the taxing
statues of these instruments no "
prevailing here. But, with the
supreme court having construed the
statues on the subject back in 1902
John r.. McFie, then a justice Of
the supreme court, and with the
attorney general Of the state this
year giving 1t rs his opinion tina.
mortgages should be taxed Ms all
personal property, IL is not likely
that the holders Of these secucrities
can expect any relief from the hard
hearted tax assessor. Many are OF
the opinion that the mortgage tax
laws should be revised to conform
with the principle that no man
should be taxed upon his debts ;
and that II mortgages are taxed
then the property representing the
security for them should not he
taxed full valuation. This is an
ancient and troublesome question.
The Outlook believes that the New
Mexico law as II tands-and the
same law exists in most other states
--exaots double taxation for that
part of the real estate which is en-.
numbered by mortgages, because II
not only taxes the property itself
but the holder of the mortgage as
we'll. 1t would hardly be safe to
down with dogmatic certainty
any rule which has to do with this
subject, About the only thing
that may be said with safety is
that double taxation is indeiens-
ible and unjust
In order to make the proposition
plain, let us assume hyphothe,i
cal case: Mr.. Brown, a farmer
owns land aud improvements
worth $4,000 On this land he has
placed a mortgage for $1,000 on
which he pays interest. MIR. Smith
holds this mortgage as lien upon
the Brown farm for $1,000 cash
advanced TO Brown Now the
theory Of many lawmakers Is
that Smith who holds the mortgage
should be taxed upon $1,000; yet il
is plain that Smith for the time
being in reality owns two-iifths OF
the Brown farm and therefore
should merely pay two-dIths of the
taxes levied against that farm. In
many instances this would repre-
sent quite a substantial difference
between a tax on $1,000 and tax
upon two-hiihs of The levy against
the farm On the other side OF
the proposition we 6nd this state Of
things; by executing a mortgage
for $1,000 against his farm, Brown
has relinquished just that much
OF his title TO II until such time

&BOY SCOUTS =
The Firemen's Carry Race
By F. MORGAN PILE, Jr.
Acting scoutmaster Troop ~.

The object OF the firemen's carry race,
which is played by two teams. is to get
the entire side carried across the
Judges line before the other side is
across. To acquire this object each scout
must be carried by the "hreman's lift"
The boys should be divided into two
teams, each with n captain. Mark the
floor on which the game is to be played
as shown in the accompanying diagram
and place the teams as shown The part
OF the floor between the foul and goal
lines is called the field.
The first scout on each team should lie
down inside his foul line with his feet to-
ware the goal line. The position of the
captains is shown at goal line. At the
word Co the captains run to the re-
clining boys, pick them up and carry
theEl across the goal line. The carrier
must use only one arm and must catch
hold Of the others wrist. No scout is al
lowed to get up from his prone position
until touched by the carrier,
When the first scout ia picked up sec
ond scout takes his place on the floor
The first scout carried must then return
for the second scout. The captain may re-
turn with him and help the two scouts.
but no one except the captains. the two
carriers. the two scouts being carried
and the scoutmaster should be allowed on
the field. After the first scout has been
carried and has carried, he must remain
back Of the goal line. Any scout stepping
over any foul line or the goal line except
when carrying or being carried forfelts
the game TO the opposing team. The game
Is most successful when the winner is de-
cIded by the best two out of three heats.
Eight scouts to n team makes n we'll
number.
