Oklahoma City, Dec. 4. Appeal has
been filed in the supreme court from
'a decision by .Judge .Brown in the
' district court in Dewey ounty in a
j mandamus proceedings by owners of
'the $:il,0v.00i mortgage bonds
I against the Orient railway involving
the validity of the Oklahoma 'mort
gage tav law. The .ease arose over
a demand made uiion the Trustees
t'xecutors and inpuraroe securities
corjwration and the Columbia-Knickerbocker
Trust Company of New
York by the register of deeds of Dew
ey county for the payment of the
state tax of oOc on the $100 before
he could rord the niortzapre for
J'lli.Oo'j.OOO. .Manda-mus was asked in
the district courr and upon an an
swer pleading the law the corpora
tions named demurred. Tim cour
overruling the demurrer, this appeal
was taken.
It is contended by the mortgagees
that the mortgage tax law is invalid
because It was not passed in the
manner that revenue measures miust
be passed under the constitution
that it violates the constitution in
other technical ways and that it is
unconstitutional in that it exempts
mortgages and deeds of trust from
domestic railway corporations.
The Mortgage Tax Act was .passed
by the H913 legislature. It has not
heretofore been tested in the higher
(courts, i (life .'provHslons jeHjuire flhat
no morfuge ' subject, to such tax
shall first have 'been 'paid. The law
provides for assessing the tax only(
that nortion of the property 'mort
gaged which is within this state.
Even at that rate the tax that would
have o ibe paid on this $31,000 000
would be very heavy.

The appalling conditions in Belgium are becoming more

There must be immediate alleviation of the increasingly
acute physical and mental suffering of these poor, homeless peo

involving much self-sacrifice, is saving lives in little Belgium.
