| /. That nearly n score Of years has gone
| by since there has been n general reassess-
ment of property in this state, during all
which time the inequalities and iniusticcs in
! the distribution Of the public burdens have
| have been growing greater. and every effort
| to remove them has been defeated by the
managers of the Democratic party in order
| that some of them might get votes by deman-
ing Il re-assessment and others merely by
| preventing it.
2. That "A Republican victory in Maryland
at the ensuing election will insure to the
| people the prompt passage OF a re-assessment
law so framed us to require that every person
holding property in the state shall contribute
his proportion OF public taxes for the support
of the government according to his actual
worth in real or personal property.
3. That the rapid increase of municipal
Indebtedness emphasizes the necessity for the

limitation upon the debt incurring capacity
/
4. That all ingenious devices by which
| the leaders of the hitherto dominant party
in this state have sought to prevent free

6. That all public offices exist for the
