OREGON PACIFIC TIME TABLE.;
Arrives Ueparts
cd ttie bait, hook and all, and
started out to fctrin the next legis
lature upon the line. They very
kindly instructed the legislature as
to the proper course on the exemp
tion business, too, though that was
a side issue; that terrible mortgage
tax law being the rapacious dragon
to fight. Of course they had no
need to concentrate their powerful
intellects upon the more efficient
enforcement of the present law.
That was unnecessary but to the
very important matter of instruct
ing the legislative assembly on
what to do they recorded their wis
dom and erudition, backed up, en
forced and patted on the back in a
"good fellow" manner by the en
vironment of the Portland capitalists.
As to the question of the bor
rower paying more interest, it is
simply a mistake as far as Linn
county is concerned at least.
Money commanded 10 and 12 per
cent prior to the adoption of the
law. Now on inortages the bor
rower pays 8 per cent, and the
taxes, which in this county are 17
mills, making less than 10 per cant,
upon the money. That is about
the situation of affairs, the howl
against the mortgage tax law to the
contrary notwithstanding.
One cannot help imagining a
pair of lonjc ears, wagging back
and forth, on each side of the heads
of congressmen, who solemnly con
sider the question of breaking a
business quorum in the house, by
sitting in their seats and refusing
to answer when their names are
called on the yeas and nays call.
They prabably think they are in
visible behind those ears.

What does the mortgage tax law
do? It simply makes the tax upon
mortgages due and payable in the
counties where the real estate is
located upon which the mortgages
is given, instead of where the
money came from that was loaned,
simply making the money loaned
take the place of the land valua
tion that the debt exempts. The
result being that foreign capital
loaned in any county in the state
on real estate security, thus ex
empting ihe real estate from taxa
tion, takes the place of the valua
tion that it displaces. Before the
la a was passed money, for
instance, from Portland, loaned on
Linn county real estate, exempted
by deduction for indebtedness, the
said Linn county real estate from
taxation, while the money, or
mortgage, if you please, if ths
Portland assessor performed his
lawful duty, was assessed in Port
land, thus reducing Linn county
valuation and making taxation on
individuals higher, while it in
creased Portland valuation and
made individual taxation lower. It
' was to correct this unfair inequal
ity that the mortgage tax law was
adopted, and it accomplished its
purpose.
As to the accusation that it has
driven away capital, the' records of
" mortgages in the various counties
will probably show that quite a
sprinkle of that foreign capital still
. remains here, and why should it
not when it is assured of a clear
profit of 8 per cent, while we are
told that in its own locality it can
earn only one half of that. How
ever every effort and every hue and
cry that could be raised by the op
posers of the law have been directed
towards influencing that capital to
stay away, in order to create the
semblance of a legitimate objection
to the law.
The facts of the case are that as
long as exemption for indebtedness
remains there is an absolute call
for the law, and no movement to
repeal it should be tolerated until
the exemption for indebtedness is
first stricken cut. Whether
that can be done or not is a ques
tion for grave consideration, and if
a moyement towards allowing no
deduction for tnpebtedness is to be
followed by a further movement for
the much clamored for exemption
of money and securities from taxa
tion, in fact opening the door for
the issue of plenty of "non-taxable"
bonds for the millionaires to in
vest their money in, then the
movement should be sat down
upon with an emphasis that will
Btamp it out of any semblance of
success.
Governor Pennoyc's conference
of assessors which assembled in
Portland recently, as far as heard
from, seemed to have concentrated
the Solon like wisdom of mortgage
