BUILDING AND LOAN TAXES.

WHAT THE LAW REALLY PROVIOE5 A3 TO THEIH ASSESSMENT. Assessor ShnnH Not Permit Inventor to Escape Taxation UhnTliry Take Money from the It. inks to I'ut Into, CertificateThe AUorutj. General's Opinions. The opinion recently rendered by Attorney General Sm.th regarding the Fixation of luitj intr and loan associa'jnns, ba caused much comment and the attacks on the attorney-general hare been constant. What eeeun to trouble the opposition mnt i that home of the capitalists who have invest I money in building end 'oan associations i r tha purpose of evading taxation wiil have it asesed against them and l obliged to par their full share of tax n. The opinion doesn't strike at the poor man who is investing his money for the tdr;o.-e of securing a Lome, even tiiongli he may have paid for his sto k in advance. Such investors do Hot receive any interest on their invest znente. They only eharo in the accrued profits at tho r!oH of the term of (he association. But here is a capita M, for instance, who lia- $10,' (;0 he wished to invest ami he don't care particularly about paying taxes upon it. Therefi r- he invests it in budding and loan as-ocia'.iou Btocit. since tie thinks the Itw will aseit him to evade taxation. The ascction pave him ti or S per cent interest, insuing p;iid up stock certificates for security the investor then escapes taxation, though he Joes not bhure in the profits at the close of the term of the n-ciition, drawing interest in.-tea 1. ( leary. there is a vast dklcrem e between him and the man of ruo ierate ur small mean, who shares only in the profus accruing to the association. It is the first whom the opinion is meant for, and the law was evidently enacted to cover such ca-ta. Hu They nre Tatril.

So much for the construction of the old law. The law ot 1',I and tho opto on of 'i'2 are not eesentirthv diu'erent. In April, IV-. the fo'.lowintjusHtiou was addrt-aatsd to the attoruy-Knrai : Is the certitlrate of a buiid.oz and losn associstior), issued to a person by said h eiation lor money loaned by it an 1 tipou wn.cii interat ia raid, a-i . jct to tsx ttion ? Is the holder Of su n a certiticate in any leital seus a Ktmre. Lolder or entil ed to reo-ive any of the profit of s:d soci.:on further tbuO tht interest tipuiated? The answer waa: lha hol ler of a certificate for money loaned to a Pull J in an 1 I0M11 aeoo:aton is in no sens a ninn-sr of as d aa.oriation. 11 is not a aubser-bcr to aueh Organization aud is ei. titled to reee.y none of the dividend, thereof further than the interest -tipuldted. . He stands simply a tha lender ot money and has taken tha written promise of the association in tha form of er:ifieai to r.-tnrn t Lim the amount loaned witrt interest thereon at a stipu.ated rata. The certificate is nothing omreoria.s than a promissory nts and is as much suhjeet to taxatior. n if it were aiirned by an nidi riduat. Under the p-ntecti .D of the law relatire to boildina a'id lonri ssaoeiti'-n a lar number of capitalists hare attempted to p ace loans whien would not be hurd oed wiia taxation.

monthly iustallments, to be considers 1 as o:hsr stock of tha anooiat.oa aud taxed in hke manner? The answer waa: As to your third inquiry tha persona allnded to are shareholders, hevio regulariy aubscribed lor a certain number of aharea of stock. Tha only dl erence being that instead of pay intr their asseasmeuts Irom week to week or mouth to month, itiey have paid in adrauce. Ihe law olesrly detiiiea the mannar in which such mtere.ls are to be taxed, namely, tha an o int pal I into the aasociation on or before tlie lt day of April, including auch advaiieed parmsnl snail be returned for taxation less tha amount loaued to shareholders upon inortK.ed security. The third question this year wn as follows: W'hnt moneys properly enter into tha item dt.erihi d in the law as "the amount shown to have bfou laid into raid aasooiatiou up to said lt sy ot AprJ upon outstanding shares of so ck from which is 10 be tskea the amount loaned 10 shareholder.?"

Though not courrliel in exactly the Fame .amruHite it is very difficult to twit anything hut the name meaninir out of the twoopinion. anil if they are "diamet ricl v opposed" the point of the opposition is not made plain. the Thing That Hart. The following paragraph from the answer to the sixth question this year (ecins to l e the onethina which i creating so much disturbance and widespread di-content : if eour.e all advanced payments by bona fide ahareholders made prior to the first day of April in any ycur aliocld be eounted in, and the same returned for taxes, less lbs amount lodneil upon mortgage aeourity. The point made h the same. The opinion io a not .-ay that the holders of auch certiiicates are to he taxed unconditionally upon the tn. but that auch certificated ar t be taxed la.-a the amount loaned on mortuaed futurities. That beinir ttie giat ol the matter, it la clearly making a bugbear of 8'ituethintf which does not exit. The truth of the matter is that the last opinion la the old one revamped to meet th- requirement, of one or two new juestiona. It ia impoi-ibltt to diatinuiah any material diiterence between the two, and the people will run ly be plashed to know tnat tiiuse who urn inveetioi; ttieir money in paid up hecuritie? to avoid taxation, upon which they draw interest, are liable to taxation the name ad though they he d the stuck of any other blinking institution. Tht- nclieiue of taking money from the tanks und putting it iuto building and ioan ar-ociations will not work this yeur, and ail capital will be ma le to pay Ui itutt bhare of taxation.

MR. BYNUM RETURNS

Highly IMeaaed AViih the Way the Administration Starts Out. Congressman Bynum arrived in the city Sunday at noon from Washington and registered at the Grand hotel. His presence in the city was not a secret (or long, as late in the afternoon and from that time nptil 10:30 o'clock at niuht fie was continually in consultation with influential men of the party or aspirants for position at the hands of the national administration. Mr. Bynum had written a few gentlemen who he particularly de-ired to eee. and the levee which he held was a total surprise Among his caller were El ward Hawkins, John P. Frenze!, -Maurice Donnelly and J. L. Keach. Of the olüce- seekers, Ir. K. S. Stone, an applicant for appointment on the pension examining board, and Dr. Long, another applicant for the position, called. K. IL Swift, who is after the Ruperintendeocy of mail, and Mr. (iiillaeher. who wants to ollicia'.e as pontmaater at Hauithville, were other visitors. Relative to hi visit Mr. Bynum said: "I retti'ned home to investigate the sentiment of the people in the tliilereot localities anil to consult their wiehee as to whom tliey desired me to recommend for the ditlerent positions. There have been quite a number of resignations tendered by fourtb-c ass postmasters, for which positions tl ere are no applicants. It is ceces-ary that competent persons who are willing to accopt these places be suggested, and I intend to visit the different counties of the district for the pur po-ie of pecuring the names of such a will be acceptable to the patrons of the offices and to the department. I shall aiso visit those places where tnere are controversies over the postotlices to ascertain bv personal investigation whet recommendations ought to be made." On the matter of appointments of the administration Mr. Bynum said: "1 have been in Washington all of the time since ttie inauguration, excepting a day or two, aud I have closely observed the sentiment of the democrats in the different eections of the country, and from my knowledge of previous administrations I think there has been less complaint against the present one than of any I have known. In my judgment Mr. Cleveland's cabinet is composed of exceeding-y atrongand able men. Its great strength consist in the fact that it is composed of men of rigor and practical business knowledge. In the position nf secretary of state Judge Gresham is exceedingly popular, and in, the treasury Mr. Carlie e is ackuowledg -d to have no superiors. In the war and ivtvy departments Col. I.amont and Mr. Herbert are especially suited and wih make bril iant officers. Secretary Smith of the department of the interior has already demonstrated the wisdom of his choice. I became personally acquainted with Mr. Smith eirfht years afo and was probably as well acquainted with hitu as anybody outside his own state when he was ( pointed, and I did not hesitate to pronounce the appointment a most exce lent one. In my judgment be will make (he greatest secretary of ttie interior that that department hü had f.r a long time, l'ontmaeter ieneral Biscull lias inaugurated a number of reforms whicn wi.i improve the service and correct a great manv abunes in that great department. Mr. Morton of the department ot agriculture i. probably as well eqn pped as any man could be found for the position. "It is a notorious tact that great abuses have grown up in nil the deuannients.nnd that to accocjplirdi reforms new blood whs absolutely necessary. The selection of the cabinet lr. m men in the active wa'.ka of lite inst.ja i of from that class of politicians from which they are usually tak-n lias already pmven the wisdom of the change. Every department is being overhauled and abuses which have crept in aud bnir existed are being corrected and reformed. A ready a di lerent atmosphere pervades a 1 of tire departments and before the end of ttie year a record will be presented that will be astonishing. This ad ninistra'iou is thoroughly democratic an 1 I predict it will go do o into h.s'ory a one of the greatest tht the country has ever had." "What will be don towird the calling of a special session of conirreaa ?" was aeked. "I have heard nothing personally from the president aa regards, the matter. The sentiment ia divded upon the question. I do not th.nk there is any necessity for ca ling one as I do not think anything will be gained by it. The UrilF measure is the only thing that would make the session Decessary. but tnis can be formulated at the regular meettn I do net favor a epecial session earlier than Uctober, anyway." Charte Sol in in er ll.imlin. There seeina to be no doubt whatever that Mr. Charles Sumner Hamlin of Boston will be made assistant secretary of the treasurv. There are three of the assUtunt secretaries, but tlie placo to which Mr Hamlin ia a-sir.ed has to do with tho customs service, nd ranks next to tho secretary. Mr. Hu i. tin was born in Boston a u t vit l I iy.lr'T. graduated in the class ot lo at ilarvari coliege. receiving the degree of bachelor of L J -Tl er sVt-.

SHORTS DO REJOICE

At the Decline In July Wheat and Provision. CHICAGO, April 10. The majority of the board of trade ahorta had reason for rejoicing at the close of today's market. July wheat was c lower, corn was of! c, oata c and there were material dechnra in pork. lard and ribs, The exception was in tbe case of those short of May wheat. That particular de ivery closed 1 ic higher than it did on Saturday. The clique were not tellers of May wheat ; they merely teased the aborts and it has now hecomo with the latter a question of ability of put up margins. That ability will apparently be severely tested in the next two weeks. A bulgi of iMo was witnessed in May wheat, l'ardridve eee ed to be tbe leading buyer, and had half a dozen broker in the pit taking all they could get, while the small fry was also buying freely with little for eale. The clique Las so far done nothing. It ia generally admitted, however, that it holds tbe winning cards, and bus only to refuse to sell to put pricea much higher. The point wns out Saturday that May would po to S5c today, and it lias beei dangerously near that ligure, already having soid at 81 c to Sic. It haa great posibi ities, apparently, and many would be surprised if it should not go to ?1 before the close of tho week. In July there waa leoa busineaa and very little excitement, with prices ruling weaker than cn Saturday. This was due to the tact that general rains were reported throughout Kansas. Missouri, Nebraska and southern illinois. As the bull feeling hail been built up on the dry weather in these districts the reported rains relieved the situation. But advices on this score were very contradictory. The weather map did not show them and many doubted their existence. Cable were higher. The Michigan crop report was a bad one, and the visible supply decreased VAU) (MX) bushels, but the amount on ocean passage show ed an increase of l.lf-O.OX) bushels. The expected issue of tbe government crop report waa a restraining influence. The scalpers and smaller traders were generally desirous of atraightening up their trades in view of the more than usual uncertainty, resuitiug from the fact that, this was the first government report since Mr. Dodge's decapitation. May opened c higher and with only slight fluctuations advanced more, held lairly eteatly and tbe closing was if -c hL'her than Saturday. Soma private settlement, it wa claimed, were made at better price than quotations show on the onen market The July future opened Itn ic lower, become stronger and advanced ;'C, but aain weakened oil" if-'-lc, rule 1 easy and closed. 1i,c lower than Saturday. A good deal of evening up w.-to indulged in by corn traders, b ngs" seliimr and shorts covering. A prominent local trader was credited with purchases of May to the extent of 'JOO.tM H") bushels, and a large receiving and elevator concern was supposed to bavedijposed of a like Pinount. Initial trading were a trifle under the elo-ing quotations of Saturday, but it vr.is not long und r; quite a brisk demand before au advance of c took place. Market afterward ruled easy, wi'.b wheat c losing with a slight loss. Tbe re was a liberal trade in oats and a weaker feeling, prices declining and closing efisy at at, out the inside iigures, with a net loss of jj'.i c. There was good gelling, of ."May by shiptung houses. Their olftring3. combined with the w.-akness in corn, had a depressing elici t. Ti'e scalpers had a inerrv time provisions early, but came near their own destruction later. They s'arte.i in on the essier opening to bull the market. I'rices were advanced lOfo loc from lirst figures all around. Then the pit got dull. When ti.e scalpers tried to sei! out no one wanted the stuff. The market nuicxlv broke be ow ttie point where the buying began. On the break the country beca-ne sii'ers on the atop orders. Then th-re was a race to t'ct out of the btuff. 1'ork lard and ribs all went dovn together the last hour. The break from top figure was ."Oc iu pork, ööo in ard and l'öc in short ribs a very unexpected ending of the little hull market of ttie' first hour. With tho exception of a very little rally in July ribs, products closed at the bottom prices for th- sene-on. Estimated receipts for tomorrow were not made up today. The nartie compiling them, it i paid, Inve not received enfhcieut remuneration from the trade, who refuse to fc'iuro in tho cost of collecting the Iigures. The leading futures rang- d as follows:
