1. ““If the language above quoted expressly made the mortgage a part of the note, instead of making the note a part of the mortgage, the point on authority of the decided cases would be ruled in defendant’s favor. For it has been squarely held that'a general expression incorporating’ the terms of the mortgage into the note renders the note non-negotiable where the mortgage contains tax and insurance provisions like those in the mortgage here involved- King Cattle Co. v. Joseph, 158 Minn. 481, 198 N. W. 798, 199 N. W. 437 ; Hubbard v. Wallace, 201 Iowa, 1143 , 208 N. W. 730 ; Peterson v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co. 19 Fed. (2d) 74; Donaldson v. Grant, 15 Utah, 231 , 49 Pac. 779 . “The question under the cases therefore seems to simmer down to the precise point whether the expression ‘of which the note is a part’ should be given the same effect as the expression ‘which is a part of the note.’ ” See, also, Verner v. White, 214 Ala. 550 , 108 South. 369 .”
