rbe BaltImore and ohio Road.

We trust that it will not be inferred
from our frequent reference to the bill
now pending before the Legislature in
regard to the Baltimore road, that We
seriously apprehend its passage. We
will do our legislators the justice to say
that we do not expect that they can be
induced by any arts of persuasion to
pass any such bill. We know that
they are being importuned TO do so, and
We also know that great many plaus-
ible exhibits are being made on paper
to show that the road should be re-
leased on its own terms from the pay
ment of a fair proportion of taxes. We
are also aware that at the close of last
session the same bill was almost car
ried, and that, from that fact, the com
pany has high hopes OF success this
time. But Notwithstanding all this
we do not, as we said, apprehend any
such narrow escape this time. Both
legislators and people are better in
formed now than formerly in regard to
the bill, and more awake to the impor-
lance of its defeat 1t is seen and IN
derstood that its passage would be
selling "a valuable claim for mere
mess of pOttage, and that every such
release would be a great injustice and
wrong upon the whole body of tax
payers in our State. Under our con-
stitution we cannot make such dis
elimination as is proposed in regard to
the future dues of the road. We must
make taxes equal in order to
make them legal. TIE language OF
section Ist of article sth is too
plain to be either mistaken or
avoided. 1t is, that "tdratioH shall be
equal and UNIFORM throughout Ge .State'
,is.d al property. both real aud personal,
shall be tared "a proportion to its VaEue,
to be aseertGHed rs directed By Latg."
And again, in the same section, it is
most distinctly and emphatically de-
clared that "1,o one species Of property
from Vhieh u tar Hlry be collected, shall
be tared higher than any other species OF
property OF equal uatus''
Can anything be palmer than this
language Can any citizen of this
state be taxed on the value of his
road is Released from the payment of
taxes on The value of its property /?
Most assuredly not. Any man will have
the right TO claim a similar exemption.
And We are not to fiatter ourselves that
this claim will not be made by any cor
Porution, and by numberIess individu-
ais in the State. Why not? What
right has the State IN make flesh Of opa
and fish ofanother? What right has
she to oPPress the people in order to
release great, powerful and wealthy
corporation? Such release would be
Il discrimination of the most odious
and intolerable character, and the peo-
pie would resent it on every hastings,
and in indignant protests against the
collection of the. oppressive taxes that
now consume them.
