Taxation of Mortgages Sparks Wisconsin Debate
A historical pamphlet from Wood County blasts misrepresentation of Gov. La Follette’s veto of the Frost Mortgage Bill. It presents the bill’s text, the governor’s veto reasoning, and argues the measure would unfairly tax real estate owners while exempting mortgage interests. It notes the bill’s sections on separate taxation, valuation rules, and intended enforcement, urging voters to judge La Follette’s veto.
