MORTGAGES AND TAXAI11N ,
Ecal Estate Exchange on Eecord as Op!
posed to Listing the Securities.
WOULD DRIVE OUT LOAN OPERATORS
Owner of Property Settle la
the End and lost of Collection
Is Too IHh to Warrant
the Esperlmet.
The Omaha Real Estate exchange put
Itself on record yesterday as unaltera
bly opposed to the taxing of mortgages.
The following resolution, Introduced by J.
H. Mlthen, was passed ater a lengthy dis
cussion: Resolved, That we, the members of the
Real Kstate exchange of Omaha. Nebraska,
are unalterably opposed to the passage of
any laws looking to the taxation of mort
gagee as an Interest In realty in the hands
of a resident or nonresident owner, for the
reason that of the several western states
that have tried mortgage taxation laws all
have failed In nearly every Instance to es
tablish the equity that they nougnt, because
the Interest rate was Immediately raised by
the mortgagee to offset the tax plaited on
the mortgage, and that wherever such laws
are now In effect they are manifestly not
accomplishing the things for which they
were roncocted; and for the further reason
that we believe the enactment of mortgage
taxation laws would drive from Nebraska
the loaning funds of the large Insurance
and mortgage companies who for years
past have been the chief source of money
supply for the development of our great
agrlcnltvral resources; an assistance which
we, the members of the Reel Kstate ex
change, prefer to stimulate and reward
than discourage and punish.
In Introducing this resolution, which Is In
effect a reversal of the resolution adopted
last week, Mr. Mlthen spoke at length In
support of his position.
Debate on the Resolution,
A. P. Tukey thought mortgages should
be taxed, lie said:
"It would be better for the town If local
men should bo taxed for their mortgages
and thrown out of the field. If they were
they would put their money in Omaha real
estate and build houses which would help
real estate men. If we monkey with the
present law we will drive out the insurance
companies and the eastern investors, aa
they have done In Kansas, Illinois and Mis
souri. I think we should let the law stand
as It Is."
F. D. Wead thought It was no more right
to tax the owner of a mortgage and the
property owner for the value of his real
estate than it was to tax the holders of
stock In a company which was being taxed
on that stock. He did not see why the
holder of a mortgage should be taxed under
these conditions when the holders of stock
were not.
Attorney Pennock was asked to explain
his tax bill to the exchange. "While I was
In California," said he, "I found they taxed
mortgages and equities separately. It
worked out ao the owner of the property
always paid the tax. An agreement was
made at the time of making the mortgage
and either the owner of the land agreed to
pay the tax on the mortgage or else he
paid 8 per cent interest where the usual
rate was ( per cent. The machinery of col
lection was expensive) and in the end they
achieved no more than we have done the
owner pays the freight. I understand It is
ao in other states. While In Lincoln re
cently I talked with the chairman of the
revenue comml'tee of the house and he
asked me to draft a bill. I see no use to
tax the equity and the mortgage when in
the end the owner pays it all, so I pro
vided for a change in the definition to
broaden it so that It would Include also
real estate mortgages. Then I cut them
out of the personal property schedule. This
would bring us back to the point where we
were before the present revenue law was
enacted."
PERSONAL INJURY MATTERS
nlta that Are Taking- Up Time of
District Court for
the Day.
Mrs. Susie Cottrell must try again If she
deslrea to get anything from the city of
Omaha for injuries said to have been re
ceived by falling an a deefctlve sidewalk.
The testimony of plaintiff showed that the
continual tramping of pedestrians had made
a bumpy and slippery condition at the
crossing of Fourteenth and Douglas streets.
She saw and took note of this condition, It
appeared, but In walking across slipped and
fell. City Attorney Wright moved to dis
miss, on the ground, that the condition out
lined was the ordinary and natural condi
tion of the street In winter; that It had not
existed long enough for the city to have
constructive notice of Its dangerous con
dition, and that plaintiff had been guilty
of contrlbutive negligence. After long
argument and extensive quoting of authori
ties. Judge Kstelle took the case from the
Jury and directed a verdict for the city.
The personal Injury suit of Lewis Sholes
against the H. J. Pcnfold company for
$15,000 for personal injuries received by the
explosion of a flash lamp bought by de
fendant is still dragging Its weary way
along In Judge Redlck's court before 11
Jury. Every point Is being contested most
stubbornly by both sides and experiments
with flash lamps and the different powders
have been conducted In the presence of the
Jury by the defense. Wednesday morning
the Jury was excused while the attorneys
rgued some knotty law points to the court.
A nOTHER'S LOVE.
wether's love is so divine that the
roughest man can
not help but appre
ciate it as the crown
of womanhood.
However, Mother
hood is looked for
ward to with feelings
of great dread by al
most all women. At
nch times a worn-
I an is nervous, dys-
'peptic, irritable,
ana she is in need
of a uterine tonic
and nervine, a
strength builder to fit her for the ordeal.
Mo matter how healthy or strong a woman
may be she cannot help bnt be benefited by
taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
to prepare for the event

With a heart overflowing with gratitude Z
will endeavor to write you. It is nearly two
rears ago since I first wrote to you for advice
warding my health which was torn very bad,
writes Mrs. JL. Poore, of Minndsle, Ky., to Dr.
?. V. Merc, chief consulting surgeon of the
nvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,

letters to you. After receiving your advice and
the ' Common 6enae Medical Aaviier ' I bought
some of your Favorite prescription,' and to-day
am a well woman and the proud mother of a
dear little boy."
Sacked no by over a third of a century
of remarkable cures, a record auch aa no
other remedy for the diseases and weak
nesses peculiar to women ever attained,
the proprietors and makers of Dr. Pierre's
Favorite Prescription now feel fully war
rauted in offering to pay $500 in legal
money of the United States, for any case of
LenCorrhea, Feofale Weakness, Prolapsus,

Judge Redlck Is likely to be busy with this
case for the balance of the week.
Attorneys Connell and Weaver are put
tins a spice of liveliness into the case of
Mies Hoscovek against the street railway
company for damages for personal in
juries. Mr. Connell appears for the com
pany and Mr. Weaver for the plaintiff, and
when they begin objecting to questions on
cross-examination the words "unfair" and
"unprofessional" are used with some ve
hemence occasionally. Plaintiff Is still on
the stand and has been for nearly two days.
MRS. BRYAN WANTS DIVORCE
Has Been Granted Decree, bat Same
Has Not Been Recorded for
Costa Have If ot Been. Paid.
Bertha May Bryan has filed a petition
to have recorded on the district court
records a divorce granted to herein July,
1900. She was married to Edmund Bryan
In January, 1896, and in February, 1900,
filed a petition for divorce, alleging ex
treme cruelty. On this ground the decree
was granted and defendant was ordered
to pay the costs. It seems that the divorce
decree has never been recorded and now
comes Mrs. Bryan to ask that defendant
be made to pay the costs of the original
action and of this one: also that she have
the custody of one daughter and be allowed
temporary and permanent alimony.

Tourist Gars Popular
The Idea that an inferior class of people pat
ronize tbe tourist sleepers is an error. On
many trips only tbe bent class of trav
elers are found. Tbey are merely
men and women of good sense
who would rather travel
TO CALIFORNIA
is this manner and save a enutf
sum of money to be used elsewhere.
It is beginning to be understood that
it is by no means necessary for tbe trav
eler t j spend a large mim of money in or
der to enjoy a trip to tbe Puciflo Coast.
It you cross the continent In one of the
tourist sleepers of the
Union Pacific
you will enjoy your trip and save considerable money.
