THE Men and Officials Very Reticent Con- cerning the Difficult-es. New Yors, Oct. 8. —[Special Telegram to Tur Bee. ] —Telegraphers in this city are very reticent in discussing the troubles re- ported from the west and none can be found who will acknowledge that they are nembers of the new brotherhood, although there are undoubtedly u good many of them in New York. Oficials of the company do not be- lieve there will be any trouble. Secretary Brewer said this morning: “All I know of the trouble that is said to exist in Chicago and the northwest be. tween the company and their employes is what T have read in tho newspapers, The wires ave all open and work is going on as usual in the territory in which the papers report that business is paralyzed through the strike.

The Result of the Rescarches of Etate Statistician Jenkins. A LOOK INTO THE RECORDS OF SARPY. | The Percentage of Inlebtedness Shown by Oneof the Oldest Couns t in the State Slandera lefuted. as Bastern The following report on tho subject of farm mortgages is made by State Statistician Jen- Iins as the result of the memorial on the sub- ject presented to the legislature by the state farmers' alliance. Sarpy county was selected as peculiarly fitted for the mvestication be cause it js one of the oldest counties in the state, On Januar, 1830, & state farmers' alliance was branches of our legislature, making the fol. lowing statements: *‘The farmers of our state arosinking deaper and deeper in debt Itis rare to find farms which arve not mort- 1, tenant farmers are increasing and fail- of our country merchants are becoming and more numerous evefy day. A con- ative estimate places the amount of farm mortgages in this state at $150,000,00, which at7 per cent makes $10,500,000 annually taken out of the state.” Statements made and presented (o our lature by an association of farmer to their condition, should at all times receive thoughtful consideration. "The state had not at that time in its possession statictics bear- ingupon this im portant subject and to sup- ply this need an investigation of Sarpy county was made, . This being one of the oldest counties in the state its selection is owing to that fuct. A complete investigation, and similar in its character as preseuted in this report of Sarpy county, is being made by the cleventh United States census in Brown, Gage, Kimball, Hayes, Thayer and Washington counties, The investigation in Sarpy county covers a period of ten years, from December 31, 1879, o December i1, 1880, kvery morigage upon tenacres wus ‘noted and the necessary in- formation gathered, muking a total of 467 mortizages considered. Through corvesponds ence with the mortgagor and mortgagee, and also by personal inquiries, it was found that anumber of mortgages appearing upon the records as having legal existence had hecn paid. These mortgages, together with prop- erlies not farms, such as platted lands for town sites, stone quarries, mill sites and lands located in other counties, though found of record, could not be classed as farm mort- gages, thus reducing the number considered in tabulation to 371 Table No. 1 gives the book and page of rec- ord, together with the date upon which the mortgage was executed, date of maturity, lo- cation, number of acres, amount. of loan, the rate of interes t and periodical ppyments, TableNo. 2 is prepared from the assessors returns of valuation for 1579 and 1839, show- ingin each particular township and range tho sections contained therein with the nun; ber of acres, also the number of a mor waged in each scction. Comparing the num- ber of acres charged to each section in table No. 1, in mauy instances they will not agree with this table, the dif- ference being due to the fact that there are mortgages which extend in area over parts of twoor move sections, aud for convenience of tabulation, have been marked on one section only. In this table the anal sis has been mudo so that each section pro- verly shows the number of acres unde r mor gage inthat section. Upon examination th table will also show another condition which needs explanation, viz: Looking ut town- ship 14, range 13, sections 80 and 31, the num- ber of acres are’ not given nor any assessed valuation, and yet in section 81 thére are 157 acres mortgaged, and in looking over the map these sections are found. Table No. 3is compiled from reports re- ceived from owners, showing locations, per- iod of purchase, value per acre, assessed val- uation per acre In 1879, present valuation and assessed valuation in 1889, the percentage of assessed valuation compared with the pres- ent valuation, also verbatim remarks made by owners as to the causes that created the present mortgages, The assessed valuation as per the table presented, shows that the assessors’ valuation is one-sixth of actual ov market valuation, Table No. 4 gives dates and location of the mortgzages that were ordered foreclosed. Two of these foreclosures were for the purpose of fecting the titie, Several loan and trust companies have fur- nished this officd with replies to_queries made that are tabulated in table No. 5, show ing the amount of foreclosures to be ky per cent of the number of loans. Table No. 6 is a tabulated statement of foreclosures in the counties of the state, Where countics are omitted the omission 1s caused by failure of clorks of the gistr courts to furnish this information through neglect, or refusing to give the mformation asked unless it was patd for. Tn the summary, as to the causes of indebt- eduess, under the 'head of purchase money will be found the difference between the amount paid and the full price of the farm. The balance is represented by a seeurity, the exccution of a mortgage, Where a fari was formerly unincumbered, and was mortgaged for the purpose of purchasing another tract of lard or farm, arecord is made of it in this table. Where the proceeds of the loun have been applied to the purchase of land in an- other county, it has been chavged to invest- ment in real estate, The amount charged to permanent improve- ments was applied to building purposes. It doos not by any means exhibit the extent of improvements.” One of these loans of $30) was used in erecting a dwelling costing £3,500, The same applies to buying stock, The indebtedness through personal obliga- tions comprises the separarion of husband and wife, by which the estato was divided to meet, this demand and mortgages were exe- cuted; cases where sous becamo involved aud the father, to assist them, mortgaged his farim, and notes signed to oblige a fr who failed to pay the same at maturity, e The investment in real estate is due to the purchiuse of land outside of the county or in wown or city property. The investments in mercantile business are from large land owners.

The legislation had wasnot for the purpose of seeuring the people aguinst. dishonest transactions, but to levy a tax for revenue, allowing no bonds which had for se- curity farm mortgages executed outsido of the state, to becouw negotiable, unless 1 per cent of the anountof the bond had been paid into thestate treaspry: yet for all that, a continued demand for these securities exists. ital ever conservative, by its continuous flow, pronounces the security sufficient.

Eastern legislation on monied institutions has been for the purpose of centralizing cap- ital, and the power hus been thoroughly exer- cisid ovor those corporate bodies, bt has failed to reach the individual capitalist whose kuowledge of westera farm securities is gov- erned by the facts ana not by fallacies or prejudices, Nebraska s one of the very few states in the union which can boast of not having a floating indebtedness, inviting labor and cap- italin the developument of its resources, and guaranteeing to both that protection and se- curity that good government affords. & S Nebraska and lowa Pensions.
