kuraI Electric Roads.

The recent report of the Ohio Road Commits
sioncrs to Gov. Mckinley pays great deal OF
rural TRANSFORMATION. With the advent of the
electric car, it says, has come Il development
along Il line totally unexpected, through its
extension into suburban and rural districts;
There is no reason why these railways should
not be carriers of freight as well as passengers,
and it is not at all visionary to Sufmise that as
the steam railway superseded horse power Tor
long haulS, so the electric railway may sup
plant it for short hauls. That more electric
roads will be built, that they Will be almost in
Vulnerable, in fact unlimited, is evidenced by
every Indication, so that the problem of build
ing the wagon road is made easier and easier
by reason of the shortened distances for which
horses may be profitably used for purposes of
transportation. By introducing the iron rails
and inanimate power for rapid transit and
take the heavier loads, the problem is solved.
A comparison of the cost will show that the
average expenditure required to macldamiZe
a road or make it hard and durable with any
kind of material, is fully equal to the cost re-
quired to lay down steel rails, over which not
only wagons and carriages propelled by horses,
but cars propelled by electricity, might also go
ut greatly reduced cost of transportation
Having given the cost of construction, which
is the same in each kind of road, and the cost
of moving the vehicle being so much less over
the steel rail than any other kind of road and
knowing also that the cost of inanimate power
is less than the cost of animal power, it seems
clear that the substitution of steel rails for
macadamized roads and inanimate power for
animal power is destined to cheaper our trans
portaton in the most effectual manner.
The report argues in favor of assisting the
extension of electric traction by providing free
travel over county roads, thus placing it on an
equality in this respect with wagon roads. 1t
would seem that with such favorable comment
from so representative commissioner, that
your people would be willing to consider this
matter, when applications are made to use the
public thoroughfares of Hartford county by
any Electric Railroad Company asking for such
privileges. IL. Il. Watkins.

A correspondent of the Towson Union says:
Several weeks ago Your Perry Hall cores
pondent asked this question "How did the
(iunpowder river or falls obtain its name -
/ have taken some pains to look this matter
up, not, however, with much success. | find
that i'll survey made by John Smith, in 1905,
he marks an arm of the bay from which the
Big and Little Falls of the Gunpowder de-
bouch and mngle, but does not give it a name.
1t is more than likely that these streams took
their name from the white or powder will
lows that line their banks. deed executed
in the year 1865 calls for tract of land begin
ming at the Little Falls of the ''Gun Powder"
as then spelled, at the mouth of Gait Creek,
where stands Spanish oak, which property is
now owned by Col b. F. Taylor, of Bradshaw.
So your readers will see that the name Gun
powder, as applied to these streams, was in
use as far back as 229 years. In the early days
the banks of these streams were noted for
their fine growth of the white willow, which
was used in the manufacture of gunpowder
and it is believed that in this way they took
their name. l would be very glad if some of
your readers who are well informed would
take up this subject and enlighten us further
upon it

yer, A. P. Silver, DR.. NJ. L. Jarrett, A. s. Tip
ton and II. p. Strasbaugh were in Annapolis,
this week, protesting against the proposed
law to increase the County Commissioners of
Hartford county from three to five. They
ask ed that the present system be given fair
trial and stated that it would never do to re-
open the question. 1t was stated that the in
auguration of the three commissioner system
under the existing law had been attended by
sufficient commotion, without seeking further
trouble by attempting to change back again.
At the same time it was conceded that the
people were still divided on the question:
Delegate Stearns stated that it was proposed
to submit the bill to the vote of the people at
the next congressional election. This was
earnestly opposed by the delegation of citi-
ZenS.
y petition against the bill was also present.
ed but several persons who signed it have
Withdrawn their names and are in favor of
the change.
The bill was recommitted to the Hartford
delegation

TAXATION OF MORTGAGES.

There is an earnest desire, through
out the State, for the taxation of
mortgages, bill to effect this having
been introduced by Senator Bennett.
If it become law it would add mil
lions of dollars to the assessable basis
of the counties, but it might be well,
before passing it, to enquire who
would have the tax to pay
For number of years, up to 1870,
mortgages were taxed in Maryland
In every case the mortgage, not the
holder of the mortgage, was compelled
to pay the tax upon the mortgage in
addition to the tax upon his farm-a
palpable double taxation of the same
property. The repeal of the mort
gage tax was therefore a great relief
to the debtor class. 1t is sought, how
ever, to compel the holder of the mort
gage to pay the tax upon the amount
of his mortgage, releasing the proper
ty from that amount. Just how to
accomplish this result is, as it has
been for many years, a difficult ques-
ton to solve. Solomon, the wise man,
declared, thousands of years ago, that
1.-The borrower is servant to the lend
err and this has been the experience
of all succeeding ages. The man
whose necessities compel him to bor-
row money can rarely dictate theterms
upon which he will borrow it, and if
mortgages were taxed the law in near
ly every case would be evaded and
the borrower have pay the tax in
directly.
1t must be admitted, however, that
if there ever was time when the ex-
pertinent could be tried with compa-
rative safety, it is now. There is
plenty of money seeking investment,
some of it at less than per cent, but
every man who has endeavored to
borrow money on farm property at
less than that sum has experienced
great difficulty in effecting loan. A
mortgage tax is undoubtedly popular,
but in nearly every case it would be a
double tax and it would be we'll to
consider the question in all its bear
ings before determining it. If it is
likely to impose any additional bur-
den upon farmers who are in debt, it
had better not be passed.
Under any circumstances let the
question of taxing mortgages not be
made part of the assessment BILL
Whether so intended or not coupling
it with the assessment bill is certain
to embarrass and may cause it's de-
feat. Let it be considered as sepa-
rate measure. Senator Hayes, whose
sincere desire to secure a fair and
equitable assessment can not be
doubted, has stated that he can take
no further interest in his own bill, if
the question of taxing mortgages is
coupled with it, ON the ground that it
would be useless to attempt to pass it
with such a weight upon it.

cate a surprising awakening to this great need
of the South, and, as if complementing this
immigration feeling through the South, there

of both political parties. No frauds have
been charged in the conduct of any primaries
in Hartford but the people are DESTROYS of
placing their primaries on the highest plane
possible.

What Manufacturers SAY.


York Gazette.
1t is notable fact that while Indignantly
partisan high tariff newspapers are tuning
and roaring anathemas against the Wilson
tariff reform bill, many of the great Republi
can manufacturers in various branches Of
trade are frankly admitting that the new
tariff measure will be beneficial instead of
detrimental to the country. The reason for
this difference is that the partisan papers are
fearful of the future of the high tariff party
rightfully apprehensive that good times under
a low tariff will furnish meagre ammunition
for Republican campaigns; while, on the
other hand, the honest manufacturers are
anxious for the coming revival of trade,
which their experience and intelligence teach
them is bound to come when the Wilson bill
is in proper operation.
