REPORT OF THE STATE T1X COM
MISSIONER

The annual report of DR.. Frank L.
Shaw, State Tax Commissioner, is in
teresting and full of valuable sugges-
tions concerning assessment and taxa
ton. The changes in value since the
last general assessment, he says, are
so decided as to cause mach complaint
of inequality in taxation, which can
only be allayed by a new assessment.
He deprecates, however, any radical or
drastic measure which would make it
necessary to go over the whole bust
ness again in the courts. The revenues
of the State are increasing under pres
ent methods and his opinion is that
we had better let well enough alone.
Under the constitutional requirements
all that can be done is to remedy de-
fects in the present system so as to
make it just and equitable in its opera
tions and to provide for the discovery
and revaluation of all the property in
the State in manner no more inquisi-
torial than shall be necessary To be eff
fective.
With regard to the bonus or fran
chise tax required to be paid by all
new corporations, Commissioner Shaw
thinks the law should be amended so
that it would not apply to homestead
or building associations, for the rea-
son that the amount of capital stock
which such companies are by their
charters authorized to have is seldom,
if ever, realized, and in some instances
the tax imposed by this law amounts
to more than the assets which the as
ISOLATION has in hand at any given
time. DR.. Shaw might have gone
farther and recommended that this
tax should be refunded to building as
sociations which have been compelled
to pay it.
A PROPOSED NEW COUNTY COM
MISSIONER Law.
Leave has been obtained by the
Hartford delegation in the Legislature
to introduce bill, prepared by Dele
gate Scarboro, providing for five
County Commissioners for Hartford
county, instead of three The bill
provides that the three Commission
ers elected last fall shall hold office
for the terms for which they are com
missioned and shall receive the same
pay as they are now entitled to-
In 1895, when the term of one of the
present Commissioners expires, three
Commissioners shall be elected, there
by increasing the nun Der to five-one
to serve for four years and the others
for two years.
In 1897, three are to be elected for
four years. In 1899 two to be elected
for four years, and thereafter. every
two years, three and two to be elected
alternately.
The bill fixes the salaries of the new
Commissioners at So per day and 8
cents mileage each way for every
mile travelled, over five miles, from
and to their homes, and the Commits
sioners not to exceed 100 days in each
year.
The bill also prescribes that the
Commissioners hereafter to be elected
shall be ineligible, after two success
sive terms, until a lapse of two years.
The Governor is to appoint, in case
of vacancy, until the next general
election.
The bill likewise provides that no
two County Commissioners can come
from the same district. This provi-
sion would thus ensure Commission
er from each district, Halls Cross
Roads and Havre de Grace being con.
sidered as one district.

A CURE FOR LA GRIPPE.
The Great Factor in Stemming the
Present Epidemic.

La Grippe-At present epidemic on
this continent, as well as on the CONT
nent of Europe, the precursor Of Pneu-
monia and other fatal diseases, is prin-
cipally a Catarrhal Inflammation of the
Mucous Membrane of the upper air pas
sages.
1t commences suddenly, and is gener-
ally attended with an extreme degree of
debility, with high fever from the COM
mencement; marked pain in the head,
shoulders and limbs, and oppression OF
the chest severe cough and little ex-
some times diarrhea; in the course of a
few days, follow at times free expect
orations and copious perspirations.
The disease must be at once driven
out OF the system in the first stages if
possible, and not allowed to develop
into others of a more serious nature
which may become fatal. To do this the
most simple agent may be found in
Railways Ready Relief (and where there
is not diarrhea), Railways Pills.
Take two to four of Railways Pills
before retiring at night, swallow thirty
TO sixty drops of Ready Relief in a. half
tumbler of water; rub well, applied by
the hand, Railways Ready Relief to the
head, throat. chest, shoulders, back or
limbs, wherever the pain is felt; get into
a good sweat, cover up well, and avoid
catching fresh cold. If not entirely
cured, repeat the following night.
This treatment has been used before
in similar epidemics, has cured thou
sands, and warded off pneumonia and
other fatal diseases which are so ready
to step in.
There is no better treatment than this
for driving out a cold. Physicians are
not always within call, and it is leopard
izing human life TO be without such
potent remedies as Railways.
They should be in every family, and
rsrscf rs f0Ts rt~nn
Of prevention is better than a pound Of
cure.

roundings become cheerless and the
thermometer sinks. This sturdy, good

friendliness to human beings, has won
