' The supreme court hnA not held (hat the 30 000 shares of stbek of the West ern Railway of Alabama, owned by the Central and Georgia roads, Is not taxa ble, but In a former decision did hold thnt It was. The decision now Is based entirely on the construction which the Georgia court gave to the Georgia stat utes. Point at Issue, The point was raised by the railroad companies that the fl. fas. Issued by the comptroller general were objection able, as not affording due process of law, that the companies were not given an opportunity to contest the validity and the amount of tax. When the In junction came to be hkard before Judge Pendleton, the state offered to give evi dence as to the value of this property. Judge Pendleton held that while he wan not a taxing officer, he would hear such evidence, which he did- and found that the property waa not excessively taxed. The supreme court of Georgia, In passing on that question, held that It was Immaterial whether the property hod been excessively taxed, as Judge Pendleton was not authorized to hear evidence on that point. The supreme court of the United States says'that this ruling amounted to a denial of due process of law. It would appear that had the court followed the suggestion of the state to then and there hear evidence and con curred in the ruling, and that he could hear evidence, that the question of due process of law would have been sup plied and the higher court would have affirmed the judgment. As very fine legal points are Involved and the sum of about 11,000,040 Is at! stake, developments In this case wiil be watched with Interest. Republicans and Democrats Caucus at Week’s End.

Most Stable of Securities. It wllj be claimed by the national banks that These lands, or mortgages based on them,, do nof form "quick assets," bpt as these lapds, .with even poor motivation, will produce from 25 per cent to 100 per cent net annually on the amount Invested, both In the land and in producing tl)S crops. It con easily be demonstrated that'there Is more Intrinsic value in these lands than In nearly any class of securities now accepted by national banks; and certainly they are not so susceptible to the vicissitudes of bad and dlshon- management, that cause large amounts of the bonds and stocks, now recognized as good securities by the banks, to become worthless in a night. Once let the present legislation against real estate be removed, and It will be come the most stable of all securities. Twenty years’ experience In handling real estate mortgages, without. * loss of |1 .in Interest to -my clients, has proved to me that there Is • rt IP‘class of securities that offers! ko absolutely safe an Investment as mortgages on property In n productive or growing ■ectlon of the United States. The same good business Judgment shbuld be exer cised In eeiectlng this class of securities as In selecting any other, but there are fewer opportunities to make mis takes In this class of securities than any other; and In moat cases one to two years' crops will liquidate the mortgage or debt against the prop erty. The preeent financial methods have proven Inelastic, and failed to produce currency or credit In times of direst need, when our country was In the most prosperous condition In Its his tory, so why not look elsewhere to find relief for the Southern and Western producers? The man, or set of men, who are brave enough and strong enough to wrest the control ot our financial sys tem from the hands,of tho manipula tors, who have elmply used their-power to opprese (when every land of nature and business had decreed good times), and provide an elastic currency that will make the producers and manu facturers of the South and West Inde pendent, will not only put the farmers and manufacturers under obligations, but will have the good will and support of every business man in both these sections, even If they Incur the Ill-will and displeasure of the napoleons ot high finance, who, while temporarily In control of tile financial system of our country, will soon be dethroned by an outraged people, who will not calmly submit to the treatment they have received at their hands for the past few months, no matter how drastic the legislation it takes to change this con trol. Respectfully. EDWIN P. ANSLEY. Letter to Livingeton. Mr. Ansley's letter to Congressman Livingston follows: My Dear Colonel Llvtngptpn—Sever al years ago Representative Lewis, of Georgia, offered a bill in congress tend Ing to remove the ban that had been placed on real estate as security for loans from national banks, and pro viding that It could be accepted up to 40 per cent to 60 per cent of Its actual market value. I suppose this bill, os well as several similar ones, was never pushed because of the violent opposition it has always received from the national banlca them selves, as well a* from the Napoleone of high finance who control the finan cial system of our country today and have for years past But recent experience has shown that these manipulators of our financial system can, by simply trying to dispose of one of heir number (Helnze), bring nn a financial panic; In times of the ut most prosperity, that It takes the rich est of thetr crowd and all the power of the government to check, and which completely shut off the usual supply of money necessary to buy and market the crops of the Southern and Western farmer, and thereby cause losses of millions of dollars not only to the farm, era themselves, but to the entire coun try. In the reduced prices at which thetr products have to be sold, as only for eign buyers have entered our markets to any extent up to the present time, and they have made their purchases si the present depressed prices. Give Fsrmtr Protection. In looking for the remedy that wilt prevent a recurrence of these condi tions; why not put In the hand* of the termer a means to help and protect Mmaelf, by allowing him to borrow from the nearest national bank enough money, when money Is easy, to.plant.
