A Vested Right.



Congress- before adiourning for the holt
days, passed a pension bill that has been
signed by the president, aud which contains
one clause to which we would call especial
attention Pensions have heretofore been
looked upon as bounties from the govern
ment, but in pursuance of this new statute
they will hereafter be considered as vested
rights that cannot be withheld or suspended
until after due notice; or not less than thirty
days has been given, and such notice must
contain full and true statement of any
charges or allegations upon which such decis
ions granting such pension shall be sought to
be in any manner disturbed or modified.
In order to retain and increase the sol
der VOTE it has been the policy of the Re
publican party, ever since the war; to grant
pensions with very little regard 10 propriety.
Deserters, bounty jumpers and scalawags OF
all kinds have been put upon the national
"roll of honor provided they would vote the
Republican ticket. As a result there are very
many pensioners who properly belong in the
tails or poor houses Men who disgraced
this country in time OF war are put upon the
same footing as those who ''stood by their
colors'i and deserve both honor and reward.
The Democratic party have shown no hoshl-
ity to this latter class and have always shown
a disposition to protect them in their right.
The new pension law will have that effect,
and in changing bounty TO vested right
the Democrats have shown an appreciation
for the feelings Of honest pensioners which
will be appreciated.
The practice of the pension office for many
years. under Republican authority, has been
to suspend the pensions in cases OF suspected
fraud, and that practice has heretofore been
continued by the present commissioners. The
new law changes all this, as we have already
shown, and hereafter notice will be given,
and full opportunity granted, to pensioners to
defend their claims The old plan was never
considered hardship when the Republican
party was in power, but it became "a horse
of another color when the Democrats were
running the machine.
True, there were very few Investigations
made as long as the suspected parties could
be depended upon to vote the Republican
ticket, and it was difficult to find Democrat
who had obtained his pension by fraud.
The pension business has been carried on
by the Democratic party in an entirely unpar-
tisan spirit, and with every effort to do full
Justice to those entitled to the nations bounty.
Stupendous frauds are rapidly coming to
light, by which the country has been swindled
out of millions Of dollars, and it is the duty
of everyone to sustain the government in its
efforts to save the people from such use OF.
their money.

Cheaper to Pay Toll.

From the HagerStown Herald and Torchlight.
Charles Foxenburger, Till Powell, Jerome
Powell and Lloyd Weller were arrested by
Constable Brezler last week, charged with
driving through toll-gate without paying
toll. The young men were on their way to
marty, three being in buggy and one on
horseback Upon reaching the toll.gate on
the Hagerstown and Sharpsburg turnpike,
kept by David r. Miller, the pole was down.
When the keeper lifted the pole the boys
dashed their horses and went through in a
hurry without paying.
They all appeared before Squire Bitner
and pleaded guilty to the charge. The lne
aud costs of the first two named amounted to
S3.35 each, and of the last two mentioned
So. 10 each They all paid their fines and
were released. They we're arrested under the
act Of 1890, charging them with practicing
fraudulent means to avoid the payment OF
lust tolls, and that they did refuse to pay
tolls which they were bound by law to pay,
with intent to defraud the turnpike company.

Taxing Mortgages.

The bill of Senator Bennett, of Carroll,
providing for the taxation of mortgages for
state purposes, is a step in the right direc-
ton. It is estimated that there are $780,
900 900 in mortgages in this state, and if
the estimate be correct, the revenue pro-
duced will amount to $685., 600, at the rate
of liz cents on the 800. If mortgages
we're taxed for state purposes, the levy
could be sedaced to II cents on the 500,
and the revenue would be slightly 10 excess
of that now pro duced by l7s cents upon
the present basis.

aternalism IN Government.

Paternalism in government, which had
its origin III Protection, is destroying the
selfreliance of the people and teaching
them to look to public treasures for as
sistance in all undertakings. Manufactur-
ers not only want foreign competition taxed
out, but they seek exemption from taxation
and bonus for locating their plants. Educa-
tional institutions are established, and an
appropriation for state aid is at once ap-
piled for. A patriotic society is formed
and conceives the idea of erecting a monu-
ment to those who distinguished themselves
in defence of their country. Instead of
appealing to the patriotism of the people
for the necessary funds an appropriation
from the public treasury is sought Private
hospitals and asylums are established, and
they, too, seek state and municipal aid.
And so with all sorts of enterprises The
necessity for their existence is not con-
sidered, nor their ability to sustain them
selves The state is depended upon to
help them along, first, by exempting them
from taxation, aud second, by assistance
from the public treasury. And this as
sistance impairs the self-rciance of the
people, dwarfs their energy and destroys
their independence
Manufacturers, with few exceptions,
are afraid to meet competition, and are
clanoring for the retention of duties that
are laid for their protection, rather than
the purposes of revenue. Though three
thousand miles of water divides them from
Europe, aud freight and insurance have to
be paid on goods brought here, aud con-
siderable tax besides, for the purpose Of
raising revenue to support the government,
they are not satisfied, hut want the tax
raised so high as to keep out all goods that
come into competition with their products.
Under the stimulus of protective duties,
manufactures have multiplied beyond the
needs of the country, and their only re-
course is in trusts to limit production and
thus maintain prices Without special
government aid only those would have been
established that were necessity and could
have sustained themselves.
All sorts of institutions are knocking at
the doors of our Legislature for state aid,
the Sons f the American Revolution want
an appropriation for monument, and a
large class of citizens are striving to have
an assessment law passed so that they can
shirk their constitutional duty Of contrib
nting to the support Of government ac-
cording to their actual worth in real and
personal property.
Tax exemptions and protection are one
and the same Exemptions mean benefits,
just as protection means increased profits.
If the one does not confer benefit, ii is
useless; and if the other does not increase
profits, then it has no meaning. And
when state appropriation is added to tax
exemption, it means double protection.
Tax exemptions, protection and appropri-
ations to private Enterprises are all wrong,
and repugnant to republican form of gov
eminent and to the spirit and letter of our
state and national charters. They attend
10 paternalism in governtment, and pafer-
ualism destroys the self-reIiance of the
citiznn

The internal revenue measure formulated
by the sub committee of the Ways and
Means Committee of the House of Repre-
sentatiVes was presented to the full com
mittee on Monday. 1t provides for tax
of two per cent on incomes in excess of
$4,000, tax of two cents on each pack Of
playing cards aud an increase Of ten cents
a gallon on whiskey. The income tax will
not weigh heavily on anyone. Those whose
incomes are 81 1000 or less, pay no income
tax; and those whose incomes are $4,000
or less are not required to make return
of their incomes In rural sections very
few people will be affected by the tax.
