Considering the nature Of

desirable for the medical

be assured authoritatively that
the working of these Springs
is carried on in a scientific
manner, and not merely on
commercial lines. and with this

OPPOSED TO THE
RE-ASSESSMENT BILLS.
Governor LOwndeS Doesn't Like the
Measures Passed by the Senate
and House,

State House, Annapolis, March 1l-Gover-
nor Lowndes makes no cGnccament of the
fact that he is decidedly opposed to the re-
assessment bills passed by the Senate and the
House. He considers them Inconsistent in
many respects. and thinks that they contain
many features disadyaptaSeous to the inter
est Of a progressive community.
The taxation Of mortgages he regards as
impractical and Of doubtful constitutionality.
His idea Of the best kind of an assessment
bill is the ono introduced by Mr. Lee. of Har-
ford, which DIRECTS the local authorities OF
the city and coupties to make their own re-
assessments in accordance with existing law.
Tonight Messts. Bankard. Cook, Barber
and Lewis had conference with Senators
Herring, Smith OF Worcester, au1 Randall
when it was agreed that in order to secure
formal conference committee on the assess
ment question, the Herring bill should be sub
stituted in the Senate for the Bankard bill
which has been sent to the upper House.
There is growing desire in bsth houses to
get an assessment bill before the Governor az
soon rs possible, so rs to force him either
to sign Or veto it before the Legislature ad-
journs.
II he vetoes the bill, IN effort will be made
to pass it over His Excelency's head.

Quarterly Conference.

The Fourth Quarterly Conference of Cecil
Circuit NJ. p. Church was held on Monday
last, End instant, in Bay View Church, with n
very large representation OF the circuit
membership.
Besides the eighteen official members there
were several other brethren OF the charge and
fifteen or twenty ladies. thus making the
largest attendance that we have seen at any
quarterly conference during our pastorate of
three years on this circuit. The conference
was delightfully."- social and enjoyable. Din
ner was served by the ladies in the Sunday
school room Of the church. A large amount
OF business was transacted during the sessions
of the conference, with Joseph S. Scarborough
secretary, and the writer chairman.
William M. Thompson is our delegate to
the Annual Conference, having received
about fifty ballots by the membership vote OF
the circuit, or twice as many as all other
scattering votes-and the united vote of the
seventeen official members of the conference.

GOOD MEN GONE.

In the deaths OF John N. McClenahan
and Benoni Cooling Cecil county has sus-
tanned the loss of two rarely useful and
exemplary men.
The multiplied vacancies created by their
deaths cannot be Immediately filled, nor
can the measure Of their loss to COM
munity be accurately estimated.
The secular business, that the industry
and integrity of such men build up, can
find worthy successors in their sons and
heirs.
But the benatcent influence, the whole
some example, that such men afford com
munity, when withdrawn by death, is Il
distinct and appreciabc loss to that COM
munity.
We are not to be understood, or rather
misunderstood, as suggesting the idea, that
any one man is indispensable in his place
in this life.

amount of taxation from the second piece
Of property than from the first The only
equitable way to reach mortgages would be
to deduct any tax levied on them from the
tax levied on the property upon which
they are based, thus exacting the same
aggregate taxation from equivalent prop
critics, whether mortgaged or unmortgaged.
But this mode of collection would be diff
cult, vexatious and uncertain, and even
if effected would result simply in making
the borrower pay indirectly what he now
pays directly. No one proposes to disturb
the present arrangement by which the
owner of the title is made the vehicle for
the payment of the whole property tax
To superadd to this full tax supplementary
one on the amount of debt resting on the
property would be illogical unjust, and
detrimental to the interests of all classes,
borrowers and lenders alike.

A FINE ON BORROWING.

The mortgage income tax feature of the
re-assessment bill which has been approved
by the House of Delegates, is not being
favorably received in any quarter we have
yet heard OF, but on the contrary is being
unfavorable commented on generally by the
newspapers of the State
We agree with our contemporary the
Baltimore Meas, in the opinion herein ex
pressed, that Il tax on mortgages is Lot Il
tax on property, but tax imposed on the
borrower.
"The taxation of mortgages, thinks the
Nems, is radically wrong in principle
When man havinga piece Of property
worth s., 900 borrows 81 600 on mortgage,
his actual interest in the property becomes
reduced to 81 600, and the mortgage vir-
tually owns the other ST. 600. The state az
a matter of convenience to itself and to all
parties concerned, continues to collect the
whole tax on the property from the owner
of the title, and does not trouble the holder
OF the mortgage in the matter This cir
cumstance is fully taken into account by
the lender of the money. II lie expected to
have to pay the general property tax on his
$1,000 he would not be willing to lend on
the same terms that he does at present.
There can be no question that the hall of
per cent. which will he levied on mort
cages if this new provision shall become
law will, If collected, come ultimately out
OF the pockets OF borrowers. Even more
may be confidently asserted. Having once
embarked on the radically false course of
mortgage taxation, lenders will have no
assurance that other legislation increasing
the burden imposed on them may not be
passed, and they will take account of this
risk in making terms with those who want
their money.
A tax on mortgages is not u tax on prop
erty; it is fine imposed on borrowing 1t
is not tax on property, because the crea-
tion of q mortgage does not create any new
property and the property upon which the
mortgage is based continues to be fully
taxed. 1t is a fine imposed on borrowing,
because, given two pieces of property
exactly alike in all other respects, one in
the hands Of person not compelled to
borrow, the other owned by man who
finds it necessary to borrow, the State and
City Tor State and County, exact larger

HOW DR.. BARBER WOULD SHAVE
THEM.

We are not surprised that no less i'm
portant parsonage than Cover nor Lowndes,
himself an extensive money lender, has
expressed his disapproval of the proposed
mortgage income tax now embodied in
both assessment bills pending in the Legis-
lature
In our last issue we pointed out the in
justice of this tax, in that it would newt
ably fall upon the borrower, and not really
upon the lender of money on mortgage
security, under an iron-clad covenant to
pay all public taxes, dues, assessments and
charges levied by law upon mortgage debts,
which covenant is contained in most mort
cages executed in this county since 1874.
1t seems wonderful that members of the
Legislature did not carefully consider this
result before approving these bills.
Now, Delegate Barber has asked leave
to repeal that section Of the code which
permits a mortgagor to make this covenant
to pay all taxes that may be levied on
mortgages.
This amendment if passed will of course
not affect existing mortgages.
Every borrower under existing mort
cages containing the covenant in question,
will Of course he compelled to ply the ad.
ditional or double tax He can't help him
self
But how about new mortgages?
DR.. Barber overlooks the fact, that the
lender needn't lend his money unless he
pleases, and which he will not do the
conditions suit him.
The consequence will be, that if he can
not get his net six per cent. interest in
Maryland, 1t will lend it in some other
State where he can get it, without being
subject to an income tax on the interest of
his loan.
Therefore DR.. Barber's proposed remedy
will only make money the harder to
borrow on mortgage by dcpreciating the
value of mortgage securities.
Pass the law with Dr. Barber's amend
ment, and you increase the injustice of the
law. The fellow already in the income
tax mud must stay in it, while the other
fellow about to borrow, hoping to avoid the
income tax mre, must either 80 without
his loan, Or re imburse the mo ley lender,
by a secret bonus, or some other surrepti-
tious payment of the income tax, that will
not appear on the face of the transaction.
1t is an unjust, and impoltic tax viewed
in any light.
As Governor Lowndcs advises, it had
better be dropped altogether.

The above report containing the number OF
inmates Of the Aims House and Insane Asylum
with the deaths in each institution and those
sent home from the Asylum after having re-
ceiyed treatment is correct record OF the
two institutions from July LIST 1895 to Feb. 1st
1896 The general health of the inmates in
the Aims House has been exceptionally good.
While the physical condition of those in tho
Asylum is all that can be expected.
Tho recent arrangement whereby the In
sane Asylum is heated by steam is decidedly
beneficial and economical. besides being much
safer than heating with the furnace. The
sanitary condition of both institutions is first

placed in tho Asylum for cooking purposes
which is a decided Improvement on the ordi-
nary stove that was formerly used
Mr.. Steel the Superintendent Of the Asylum
has an assistant whose duty is to take charge
of such patients as have sufficiently recovered
and when the weather permits take them
out to work Oh the farm. Besides saving the
expense of hiring it is highly beneficial to the
patients. p. B. HoUsEKEEpER, NJ. d.
