Organize Right! 
Official advice to farmers from 
President Coolidge down to the 
Town Clerk is to organize. They 
assume the right kind of organi¬ 
zation, run in the right way. 
Farmers can organize and be 
worse off than before. 
Legal Questions 
Lien Under Foreclosure 
Three years ago my brother-in-law and 
I purchased a farm, his wife and mine 
being jointly interested. Last Spring I 
put a third mortgage on same farm, buy¬ 
ing out the part of brother-in-law and 
wife. The contract between the party 
we bought same farm from is due or ter¬ 
minates September, 1925. She can close 
at that time, presumably, as she holds 
contract and second mortgage. My wife 
and I own a property elsewhere with a 
small first mortgage on that. Can either 
the holders of first, second or third mort¬ 
gage on farm in any way levy or hold our 
home? w. s. ii. 
Indiana. 
If you and your wife, or either of you, 
signed a bond or note or promised to pay 
the amount of the second or third mort¬ 
gages which you describe, and those mort¬ 
gages are foreclosed and the property 
does not sell for enough to pay the 
amount of the mortgages and expenses, a 
judgment can be entered against you for 
the deficiency. If a transcript of that 
judgment is entered in the county where 
your other property is situated, of course 
it will become a lien against your real 
property. n. t. 
Raising School Taxes 
In May, at our school meeting, we 
voted to raise $20 for school purposes. 
Now the tax roll is out, and it has been 
raised $13.85, making the tax roll $39.85. 
Have they a right to add on this $13.85 
without calling a meeting and the tax¬ 
payers voting on the raising of this 
money? ii. w. 
New York. 
We think you must be mistaken in the 
action taken by the school meeting, for 
it is very unusual foe the school meeting 
to fix the tax rate. They might have 
voted to raise a certain amount of money, 
but it is the duty of the trustee to collect 
by tax a sufficient sum of money to pay 
the expenses of running the school. N. T. 
School Taxes in Two Districts 
We bought 25 acres joining our farm, 
all in the same town, but before we 
bought it the school taxes were paid in 
another district. We have owned it for 
four years, and it was assessed all to¬ 
gether. This year they assessed it sepa¬ 
rately again, so we had to pay school 
taxes in two districts. Can they hold the 
25 acres in the other district? There are 
no buildings on it. e. f. d. 
New York. 
Section 411 of the education law, with 
reference to the collection and assessment 
of taxes,_ provides in part as follows: 
“Land lying in one body and occupied by 
the same person, either as owner or agent 
for the same principal, or as tenant un¬ 
der the same landlord, if assessed as one 
lot on the last assessment roll of the town 
after revision by the assessors, shall, 
though situated partly in two or more 
school districts, be taxable in that one 
of them in which such occupant resides, 
This rule shall not apply to land owned 
by non-residents of the district, and 
which shall not be occupied by an agent, 
servant or tenant residing in the district. 
Such unoccupied real estate shall be as¬ 
sessed as non-resident, and a description 
thereof shall be entered in the tax list.”

is no more fascinating subject than

Management of Undivided Estate 
Two years ago a man died, leaving a 
farm and personal property. lie was sur¬ 
vived by his widow, two daughters and a 
son, all three over 21 years of age. This 
man left no will, but it was unanimously 
agreed by the children that the mother 
should have the use of the farm as long 
as she desired, or until death. The moth¬ 
er hires the son to work the farm, paying 
him. a. staple salary. Since he was ad¬ 
ministrator in settling up the estate, he 
has continued to do business in his own 
name, making out checks, taking out in¬ 
surance, etc., all in his own name. Checks 
in payment of produce from the place are 
made payable to him, since he transacts 
all such business. The question has arisen 
in the mother’s mind if, in the case of the 
son’s or her death, or in ease of dispute, 
there might be trouble in settling up the 
matter. g. m. 
Illinois. 
There might easily be some misunder¬ 
standing in case of the death of the moth- 
re or son, and it would be advisable to 
have an agreement drawn, setting forth 
the intentions of all the parties while they 
are all alive. In that we would suggest 
that the property be set forth, as an in¬ 
ventory, stating that it belongs to all the 
heirs, but that the use of the same is 
given to the mother during her lifetime, 
the salary the son is to receive for caring 
for the property, etc. n. t.
