What Is known as the Compilation tax
levied by the state of Maryland, on the
Washington branch OF the Baltim Dre and
Ohio Railroad company, amounts To one
NTH OF every fare received by the company.
After paying this tribute for several years
the company demurred and Contested the
matter In the courts, which ultimately de-
cided in favor of the state and against the
railroad company. The Mary land Iegisla-
ture now has before Ii a proposition for q
compromise, the company expressing its will
ingness TO pay the state SOS 600 yearly as q
consideration for the removal of the capita
ton tax. The company, through its officers,
had hearing before the appropriate COM
mittees Of the legislature on Thursday night,
and gave several reasons why they should
no longer be compelled to pay this tax,
among them being material decrease in the
business OF the road since the building of a
competing line between Washington and
Baltimore. 1t was also stated that the com
pany had agreed to remove its depot in
Washington and build a new one costing
100000. The tax levied by the state Is vir-
tually tax upon every traveller passing
over the road, and Its continuance is, there
fore, an injustice not only to the company
but TO the travelling public.
