The editorial from the Dispatch in Thursday's Chrosici.k relating to the repeal of the "mortgage tax law" and the "indebtedness deduction clause" haa caused some comment, and while hoping you will take no offense at my boldness, I would auk space on the same subject, believing, (after listening to every argument pro and con, while the Luwton bill was be fore the legislature and its committees) the Dispatch to be wrong both in the in terpretation of the law, and their opin ion of the effect of it on the farmer and small borrower. The old law provides (Sec. 2754) no promissory note or other instrument of writing, which ia evidence of a debt wholly or partly secured by land or real property shall be taxed for any purpose in this state, but the debt evidenced thereby and the instrument by which it is secured shall for the purpose of assess ment and taxation be considered as land or real property and together be assessed and taxed as herein provided. Tim -above section is repealed, now how is it possible to say that the mort gage i3 exempt front taxation and the note, which ia a part of the mortgage, is still taxable? Tiie law was termed the "mortgage tax law" but that title was not part of the law. Would it not be as reasonable to say the note is exempt and the mortgage is still taxable? You will notice according to the above sec tion that they are assessable together. If they were taxed together, or as one, and the section repealed eo taxing them, how can the tax remain on one or the other, and on which one? A case can be supposed and might at great intervals bo met with where it would be optional with the assessor to make double taxation, but the example, as follows, ia not one of these: ."If a man haa a farm and he borrows $5,000 on the property, gives his note and a mortgage, the party holding the note must pay on it as well as the borrower." Now under the old law both the evi dence of debt and the instrument by which it is secured are considered land or real property. If. they were real property and separate, both should pay taxes, but only one tax is paid and the object of the repeal of the above section is and can be interpreted only to do away with that tax. As they were assessed together, it does away with the tax together, aa much with the note as the mortgage, they are inseparable The legal rate of interest is eight per cent., but section 3593 and 3594, both now repealed, made an agreement legal between borrower and lender, 'as to who paid the taxes and mortgages were usually drawn eight per cent, and the borrower pay them, or ten per cent, and the lender pay. On a 25 mill levy the tax was $2.50 per hundred dollars and if the lender paid the tax he just lost 50 cents of getting his eight per cent. " providing the note drew 10 percent, interest. If the borrower paid the taxes he just paid 50 cents more than his 10 per cent, on every hundred dollars. This two per cent, was ' added to pay the taxes that is as much a part of the instrument aa any other portion of it. If I borrowed (the money it was added above the legal interest to pay a debt I owed the state, and you contracted to pay such debt with that two per cent. When I cease to owe the state on my mortgage I cease to owe yon the money to pay such debt. While no attorney, nor giving a learned decis sion as to the effect of the new law on present contracts, I believe mortgages drawn with the extra two per cent, to pay taxes will be able only to collect the legal eight per cent, interest, and even then the lender will be" $5.00 richer on every thousand loaned. - v v " ' , There seems ;to be an idea with .many farmers and email borrowers (and many of the newspapers encourage them in it) that they will have a larger tax to" pay since the repeal, of the indebtedness clauee and mortgage tax. Under the old system they paid tho taxes to a sec ond party who paid them to the county. Now they pay direct .to the . county, but gaged for all it is worth, and more too, but the farms assessed for what they are worth are few and far between. The custom has been, and will probably con tinue so, until human nature changes greatly, to assess real estate at from 50 to 75 per cent, of its value that is, a farm worth, say $12,000 would be as sessed by a very bold, bad assessor for $9,000, or the owner if clear of debt would pay on 75 cents on the dollar. The 8am e farm if mortgaged for its full value would pay - 100 cents on the dollar, or the owner would pay on the extra 25 cents on every dollar for the privilege-of being in debt. The new law will undoubtedly work a hardship on somebody, but it will not be the farmer or small borrower. Such have . paid a tax on everything they owned or owed. The "no exemption for indebtedness" will never be unfavor ably felt by them. In fact the assessment of thousands' of dollars ' fraudulently covered by indebtedness will lower the rate so as to benefit and not injure them. Many a farmer in Wasco county worth less than $1,500, pays more tax than merchants and capitalists in The Dalles, who can draw their check for $15,000, and who have the unencumbered property to back them as soon as the assessor is out of sight. As far as to "money" escaping taxa tion under the new law, referred to in the editorial, it could not possibly do so more than at present. If you will take the trouble to examine the assessment blanks of three years ago, when Mr. Gourlay made the best assessment ever made in this county, you will find a column devoted to "money, notes and accts," and money hard cash, was as sessed at 50 cents on the dollar and even then, there was not enough of it found to carry on the business of The Dalles for 24 hours. The new law may not be perfection. Its friends never bo claimed, but it will take some time if the assessors do their duty, to bring it to the state of use lessnesa that the old law had reached. Respectfully, M. J. Anderson. ."' ' 2" tie explosion of a bomb is not more sudden' or' unlooked for than the attack of some malignant disease which would not occur were the blood in order.!
