A law has been passed in Michigan
relieving the owner of mortgaged prop-
erty from paying taxes on the amount
mortgaged ; this part of the burden be
ing placed by the same statue on the
money-lender. In passing this law the
Michigan law-maker?, taking warning
from the Massachusetts money -lenders,
inserted a clause invalidating all private.
contracts requiring the mortgage to pay
these taxes. The experiment in Michi
gan will be watched with interest. The
object of the law is to favor the man
obliged to borrow money, but it cannot
compel the lender to put his money out
on these conditions, und already there
has been much complaint against the.
measure in that it drives capital out of
the state where money ran be lent to
better advantage. It will doubtless re
t'.uce the mimlier of mortgages on Michi
gan property, but whether it will prove
beneficial to the people it ia intended to
benefit i9 another question.
The Farmers' Alliance of Washington
has adopted resolutions recommending
an amendment of the state revenue laws
po as to exempt recorded indebtedness
from taxation. Salem Journal:
The Journal is mistaken. Attorney-
General Jones has decided that indebt
edness of every kind is exempt from tax
ation in the state of Washington, and
the assessors have made their returns
for the present year in accordance with
this decision. What the alliance did,
and justly too, was to condemn this
species of unequal taxation that lays an
unjust burden on the debtor crass and
allows the creditor class o go free. The
farmers everywhere throughout the
state of Washington are denouncing the
law which ought to be a pointer to those
in this state who are so anxious to sad
dle the same law on our people.

X Chinese embezzler was recently
caught in .Victoria, having fled from San
Francisco with $20,000 of other peoples'
money. He is held in Victoria for iden
tification and preliminary examination.
The. funny part of it is that the China
men who go from California to testify
against him will have each to pay $50
head money tax to get into Canada,
and once there our restriction act will
not allow them to return.
Recently the Brooklyn Eagle cele
brated the completion of the first half
century of its existence. On that occa
sion was published a fac simile of the
first number of the Eagle, issued in 1S41
Alluding to this, the Rochester Herald
says : "One of the noticeable things in
this reprinf is the quDtations for bank
notes, which is something of a curiosity
in these days when a person . scarcely
ever thinks of looking at the name of
the bank of issue that appears on the
national bank currency be handles. In
this list the bills of fourteen banks, in
different parts of the state outside of
New York city were quoted at par. In
most other cases the qndtations were
from to & t f one per cent, discount.
' The bills' issued by five Rochester banks
were at discount, and those of one
bank at 45 per cent discount. The - bills
of Buffalo banks were in particularly
bad odor, those of one bank being qnofed
at i'o per cent., those of four banks at 30
percent.,- and of one bank, nt 45 per
cent, discount. Bills of banks in South
ern and western states were from 2 to 9"
per cent, discount, with occasional quo
tations of 25,40 and 50 percent, discount
and here and there, opposite the name
of the bunk, appeared the ominous word
' "failed." A table of this kind ought to
be an impressive object lesson for those
who are advocating lhe alwHshment of
national banks and a return to the sys
tem f permitting state banks to issue
circulating notes which would be secured
only as each or.e of these several states
might, elect. In the east it might be by
state, municipal or railroad bonds of the
par value of billsjmt out or 75 per cent,
ol their value. In the west farm 'uiort-
eases mieht'-be taken, while an alliance
legislature like thai of Kansas would
take chattel mortgages on personal
property or warehouse receipts for pork
ana grain.
The pubic schools in Prineville, Or.,
have been closed for the present because
of the prevalence of diphtheria. The
iamilies where it has made its appear
ance have been quarantined, and it is
hoped that by proper fcrecantions the
disease can be confined to its present
limits.
The problem in Oregon next year is
going to get two congressmen who will
be people's men. An exchange says
"What the country demands is a clean,
able man, whose private or public record
shows him to be a man of the people,
free from entangling alliances or corpor
ate influences, and willing to do his
plain duty. Such a man can be elected
in either of the congressional dietricts,
regaraieea ot pontics.
it is dimcuit to draw too dark a pic
ture of the suffering of the people of
Kansas through the borrow ingot money
The Howard Citizen says that In Elk
county, from January 1, 1890, to October
1890, 176 mortgages were foreclosed by
.the sheriff average of 14 per month
Ne-.irly all of these judgements were for
interest only, on the second mortgage
given to secure the payment of the in
terest coupons. These 175 sheriff sales
brought $44,025, but as the amount of
the judgements 'was $134,348 farmers
that have been sold out. are worth $96,
370 less than nothing. Other parts of
Kansas- arc too poor to support even
grasshoppers, or the settlers would have
horrowed recklesslv.
Farmini Does Par Sometimes.
"Well, I suppose you have heard a
great many Dig stories of our wonderful
crop," remarked Hon. Thomas Simpson,
Of Winona, "but I have inRt tiftn.ro nna
which I know Is true and which well
indicates the greatness of this year's crop
in the grains besides wheat." Mr. Simru
son then related to the reporter the his
tory or two wmona boys in South Da
kota this summer, withholding the names
of the young men. Last spring they
rented $;auu acres in South Dakota at
fifty cents an acre and put in a crop of
flax. From this farm they obtained
60.000 bushels of flax, an average of a
little over fifteen bushels to the acre.
Selling this at ninety-five cents per
bushel the young farmers realized 47.-
ow. neir estimated expense was five
dollars per acre, or $16,000, and this, de
ducted from the gross receipts, leaves a
profit or (31,500 for one summer's work
for two young men. The grain is now
in the elevators. St. PaulPioneer Press.
The Consumer Taxed.
.Great Britain, though not a protective
tariff country, ia taxed notwithstanding.
Its 35,000,000 of people pay as.much as
our 65,000,000 for national revenue.
The duties and excises are $478,000,000,
collected on a revenue basis, so that the
poor man who consumes tea, eoffee, to
bacco, etc., pays as much as the rich
man, and as the poor, outnumber the
rich by 1000 to one, it is easy to see who
pays the British taxes. Portland Tele
