We have heretofore d faed the cen
trail doctrine OF Henry Georges teach
ings. Mr.. George says: take all tax
alton from personal property. put every
thing on the free list except real estate,
and let all public revenue be raised by
direct taxation on lands. While we have
never called in question the hoaest in
tentions OF Mr.. George, we do think
his theory very wrong Under his
plan the burden OF running the Gov
eminent will ali rest on farmer. and
men who own house and To-, while

In letter to a Stockton citizen, Hon.
4. =. Turner has the following to say
about the presidential contest:
/ think our prospects are now bright
er to elect the next president, than be-
fore Blaine's letter was presented, for
there seemed to be a universal doubt
even among Blaine's friends, whether
he would succeed; while niuety-niue
per cent. Of the republican party were
perhaps fo- him, the one hundredth
per cent was perhaps sufficient to de-
feat him.
BY our carrying Indiana and New
Jersey, we can give Cleveland New
York and Connecticut, and elect our
man. Hence, am in favor of Gresham
Of Indiana, whOsis a strong anti-monop-
olist, and William Walter Phelps of
New Jersey, who is the most popular
man in that state.

The winter this season IN Kansas
may be written down as remarkably
short and mild. The cold weather,
with the exception Of five or six blus-
teriug days, did not set in until after
Christmas, and ended about the first OF
February. February has been, as this
month usually is IN this latitude, mild
and pleasant. The total of what may
be termed real winter in Kansas this
year, does not exceed forty days.
And the average winter Of "a term OF
years will not exceed sixty days. Com
pared to the five and six months OF
hard winter weather in the New Eng

ances would sensibly reduce their ex-
penses, there would be plenty Of respect
able company for all. One of the great
points is to begin right. A little house
means less trouble to take care Of it, and
knowledge of cooking implies the
ability to use moderate priced materials ;
the wearing Of Questionable and mend

of tho wearer; the cutting down Of
minor expenses implies strength Of char
acter and this cutting down to be worth

HOME Is HOME.

The snowfiakes press upon the pane,
Where once was heard the pattering rain
And all the twigs are clothed in white,
Liks babes Of Nature for the night.
But what care for winter storms,
And frosty cold in countless forms9
For home is home, no matter where,
II love and hope are conferred there.
The chilling winds of winter blow
Where fern and daisy used to grow;
The crimson flush Of sunset dies,
And Nature in her cavern lies.
The winds may blow and snowhakes fall,
While clouds and darkness cover all
But flowers will bud, and birds will sing,
When winter weds the blushing spring.

EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION

That the framers of our constitution
intended to deny to the Legislative branch
of the government the power to exempt
any class Of persons, or the owners Of
any class Of valuable property, FROM
taxation is suppose, generally believed
to be true, but the quaint, antiquated
and uninteiligibic language in which they
unfortunately clothed the article in the
declaration Of rights upon that subject
has not been construed to have that
meaning. and hence for very many yearG
we have had in our State specially favor
ed species Of property, the owners OF
which, by reason Of such ownership,
have the immense advantage Of being
free from taxation. Glass legislation Of
this sort is insidious and generally found
ed upon some specious theory Of protect
ing some special interest, though it MAJ
be at the expense of others. and is urget
by its advocates on account OF some rea
or imaginary merit which appeals at Ger
tain crises to the liberality and generosit.
Of the law making power. but which /
almost invariably source of regret ate
the crisis Of excitement has passed away

State Affairs.
Report of Tax Commissioner Woolford
and his Timely Suggestions

The report of Mr.. Levin Woolford,
State Tax Commissioner, which has been
printed, makes number of very inter
esting suggestions. Mr.. Woolford shows
that in 1887 the State taxes assessed by
him upon corporations amounted to
1928, 1872 20. The total is composed of
the State taxes on the assessed value Of
the real property of corporations amount
ing to SAC, 548 S3, and on net shares of
stock and assets of corporations. and on
the deposits of savings institutions,
amounting to $50, 273 46.
FARMERs AND CORPORATIONS.
Tho Tax Commissioner says: "For
the greater portion of the past year, in
terest has ruled low, and profits gcner-
ally. and of the farmer and producer
particularly, have been so exceptionally
small that little could be expected from
them by way of addition TO the aggre-
gated wealth of the State. Considering
the small profits accruing to most Of the
industries in this State, the increase in
amount and value of the assessed capt.
tai OF corporations In the last two years
is decidedly encouraging, being up
wards of eight millions of dollars over
that of 1885, and upwards Of twenty
eight millions since the establishment of
this Office. Several large manufacturing
corporations have been organized during
the last year, and works of magnitude
promising the expenditure of large cap
ital and valuable increase in the employ
ment of lador are now in course of con-
struction by them. which will add ma
terially to the volume Of assessment for
the coming year. renew the recon-
mendation made to the General Assem-
bly, of 1886 for the passage of a law re-
quiring every corporation organized un-
der the general corporation law of the
State to report its organization to this
Office before commencing active bust
ness"
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1888-01-27
SAVINGS INSTITUTIONS.

The aggregate of deposits of savings
institutions Of the State July |, 1887,
amounted to 1871, 20S.564 So; amounts
not bearing interest and in accounts less
than one hundred dollars each, 81 $40, :
702 SO; assessed value of real property,
BAIT, 1888; amounts invested in mort
cages. "a, 5000 26; amounts invest
ed in United States bonds and other non
taxable securities. $12. 1897 93
amounts invested in securities on which
the State taxes are paid, 81, 284, 799 ;
amounts liable to taxation, $8,078, 1853
10, and the State taxes thereon, $15,-
146 SO. Mr.. Woolford thinks that saw
ings institutions should be required to
pay franchise tax, but they should not
be burdened with heavy taxation. The
amount of their taxation should be fixed
by law SO as to avoid any opportunity or
inducement to attempt evasion in their
returns.

NEW AssEssME EMIT.

take it for granted that the General
Assembly will at this session enact a law
for q general assessment of the property
of the State, and respectfully suggest
that a provision be inserted in such law
recognizing the capacity of property to
produce certain annual income as one
Of the tests by which assessors shall be
governed in ascertaining the value of
property. While this is not the only test
Of the value of property, it is one which,
if judiciously and understandingly APP
piled, will in most instances insure a
more accurate and equitable measure
ment of the amount Of contribution to
the expense Of government of the differ
ent owners of property in the State
Heretofore the assessments OF property
in this State, under our general laws,
have depended entirely on the Judgment
of the numerous different assessors, and
have been based, perhaps, more on the
ascertained cost Of such property than
on its capability to produce income. and
make this suggestion as calculated to
give the assessors an additional test to
enable them to arrive at an equitable
and just distribution of the burdens oil
taxation.
