Of county commissioners have made
the county levy FOR the current year,
and il IS truly alarming to the tax
payers. One dollar and thirty.one
and three fourths cents on the one
hundred dollars, is tough tax on
our farmers, but when about sixty
fire cents is added on city property,
making in all to the Annapolis
taxpayer-SI. 962-what is the con-
dition OF the owners Of property
here, where rents Of real estate pay
only about per cent Add this
tax to the cost of repairs, insurance
and other expenses Of maintenance
of buildings, and the conclusion is
easily reached, that the more real
estate q man owns the poorer Le IS.
Why is this ? The city and
county governments have been con-
trclled for many years BY political
chooses" who hare cared moro for
the success of their party than for
the interests of the people. They
have appointed men to collect the
taxes who have defaulted in large
sums and escaped responsibility
through special laws passed by our
boss-ridden legislatures, and they
have appointed road supervisors and
other officials who have looked upon
their offices as the "open sessimeo
to fraud and peculation. There is
no denying these shameful facts,
because the parties to the frauds
themselves admit, after years have
elapsed, their truth, and look upon
their acts as amusing jokes perpe.
trated upon the people
The present board of county com
missioners did themselves an in
justice in making the levy so high.
They should have provided the
necessary money to meet their own
responsibilities in office, and let tho
debts of their predecessors go to pro-
test = reputation, If need be
These long outstanding deficiencies
are held by sshavers" who have
grown rich upon the "spoils,' and
who can better wait, indefinitely if
need be, for their money rather
than cypress the farmer. who with
all his hard labor and economy, can
scarcely make both ends meet.
We have high appreciation of
the honesty, integrity and intelli-
gence of the present board, and re-
greet their failure to secure the priv
ilegc they asked of the last legisla-
ture to issue county bonds to meet
the enormous debts their predeces-
sors in office had left behind them.
With this privilege secured, they
would have been able before the end
of their term Of Office, to have plac-
ed county affairs upon business
basis and sensibly relieved oppres-
siye taxes. This the chooses did
not want, and the commissioners,
appeal to the legislature fell upon
deaf ears, The chooses" do not
want honesty in our local govern
ment. 1t would shut the door upon
corruption, and as it is upon cor
rupsion they thrive, they will per-
NIT no change to be made, if they
can help it, in the shameful manner
in which the affairs Of our county
have been administered by their
office seeking followers.
