7 HE LAWTON BILL AO A IN.
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Tim -above section is repealed, now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the section repealed eo taxing them,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now repealed, made an agreement legal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.
