A New Constitution for Maryland.

E. M. Allen, Esq, of Belair, Har-
ford county has published an inter.
esting pamphlet on taxation sub.
ject Mr. Allen has devoted great
deal of time and thought to. A
notable passage in the pamphlet we
quote below.
I'VE need a new Constitution. We
need 1t to insure equal taxation, we
need it to teach judges that theories
must give place to respect for the
rights of men We need it more
than all to destroy those laws that
allow the grasping creditor to seize
the unfortunate debtor by the throat
crying PAY me what thou owest,' and
to turn out to the storms of winter
the weeping babe and the broken
hearted mother"
Above all Maryland needs a new
infusion of life among her non pro-
gressive people They submit to
every form of abuse and political in
justice with the PATIENCE apparently
Of yoke of oxen. The climate
seems to be congenial to the fostering
of a sluggish moral patqre,

What Free Simple Ownership of
Land Means,

The state does not grant an abso-
Lutte title to land. The grant in fee
from the state contains the condi.
tions implied and universally under.
stood. that as long as the conditional
owner pays such tax as is assessed
on the land he shall be protected in
its peaceable possession, but if he
refuses to pay and he has no other
more convenient property to seize
and sell for the debt. that the land
shall be sold to pay she amount of
tag Que and the purchaser shall be
placed in peaceable possession of
the property. and the former psrsy,s
title cancelled This process will
be applied TO a part or the whole
of sthe land, depending on the
amount OF the tax claims involved.
The single tag in full force would
nat alter present conditions of own.
ership to the land. As long as the
occupier paid the tax he would be
protected in his right to hold and
use the land and bequeath it to the
next generation. Ownership would

not pursued aud thereby great in

Inc following appears among the
proceedings of Cecil Farmers Club
at the February meeting.
Mr.. Henry S Coudon offered the
following resolution which was un-
animously adopted by the club:
ASSESSMENT OF DOGS.
As the law for the protection of
sheep 10 our county--better known
as tue dog LAWS plainly defective
in that it contains no provision by
which dogs are to be assessed, we
feel justified in asking our Senator
and Representative to have the law
so amended as to remedy this de-
feet. or else to have the present law
repeated and replaced by one similar
to that proposed for Talbot county.
THE COMMISSIONER LAW.
The following resolution was offer

WHEREAS, the change made at The
last session Of our Legislature, in
the method of electing County Com
missIoners. by which we are able to
always have in the Board two men
of some experience, promises to be
of great profit to the county, and de-
serves to have far and satisfactory
trial before being condemned, there

at variance with the wishes of large
majority of their constituents in
securing the passage of an act. re-
curing return to the old plan. and
we earnestly but respectfully ask the
Governor of the State to withhold
his signature therefrom

LOCALIZED PRIM ARIES
The following resolution WINS offer
ed by Mr.. Henry S. Coudon and un-
animous'y adopted by the club:
WHEREAS. under the present sys.
tenn of making nominations for office,
trickery and corruption have become
so universal. that not only is the will
of the people often entirely frustrat-
ed, but our whole system of elections
brought into contempt. therefore
RESOLVED. That we note with plea
sure the introduction in the Legisla-
ture by our Senator of bill extend
ing the same legal restraints to the
primaries that govern the general
elections, under the belief that some
of the facilities for defeating the
wishes of the voters will be thereby
removed, and that bribery and cor

fensively practiced.

The New Town Survey.

Anew QUESTIONS BRIEFLY ANSWERED.
The following anonymous COM
munication was received and referred
to one of the Town Commissioners:
MIR. EDITOR There are several
questions relating to the proposed ex-
tension of our borough limits that a
number of persons residing within the
same would like to have answered
First-How many tax payers asked for
the change before any move was made
in the matter by our Town Commits
sioners? Second-What advantage will
it be to the town and those especially
who foot the bills for board walks, pix
ing, lighting. etc, to extend the limits
as proposed? Third How much of
the taxpayers money has been expend
ed in surveys. already made to drag in
outsiders who don't wish to pay both
state, county and borough tax? Fourth
Why was there clause interested in
the proposed extension that the sale OF
intoxicating liquors should hereafter be
prohibited within the borough limits?
Fifth After several persons had signed
the petition for more extended
borough. moved to do so on account of
the anti liquor clause, why was that
cause afterward stricken out? This
particular question is one of great in
terest to many persons who are opposed
to the liquor traffic which they would
like to have answered plainly.
ONE INTERESTED.
l. The Commissioners do not wait
to be asked to do their duty towards ben
citing the town, and as the old
bounds could not be established it was
necessary to run new ones.
2. The advantage to the town will be
in the increase in tax receipts over the
additional expense.
8. No more than has been necessary
and considerably less than the same
amount of labor can be accomplished
for again.
4. Because the sentiment of the
town. as well as the Board, is for pro-
hibiion within its limits.
5. Because our Senator and Repre-
when the petition was hand,
ed them convinced the Commissioners
that such move would be detrimental
to prohibition in the county, as other
owns which favor license would ask
he same privilege should the presen
law be annulled next fall.

An invitation was given to any WHO

The entire expense. however. was less
than $50 onlv in cash. which proves
