The recent publication by the Laurel
Free Quill of views on the subject OF
Marylaud's backward condition has ellie
itcd remarks from many exchanges -
The Mining Journal of Frostburg, says:
I'm the judgment of this paper ore OF
the supreme obstacles to the States pro-
gNess. financially, is its inadequate aud
unequal system of taxation, and, educa-
tionally, its ilegilimate public school
system, If people and corporations
would consent TO assessments embracing
all property at full value, there would
be no State and county rates (tae only
element of taxation which people see) to
gIumble about. And ii those who have
an actual interest in the public schools
could be put and kept in charge of the
system these institutions would stand
their best chance of development Into
the ideal that the scheme originally de-
signed them to materialize."
