WHERE THE BURDEN FALLS.
ANOTHER INSTANCE OF
INJUSTICE IN THE NEW
ASSESSMENT Law.
How Mortgages are Taxed.
lPpbIlshes By asthsrity Of ihe Maryland Democratic
E6slefs' Associaiien.l

The Democratic Editors Association
realizes that to formulate entirely
fair and equitable assessment law was
a matter beset with difficulties, but the
law passed by the legislature OF 1906
largely republican I'm the house and
virtually SO In the senate, In very far
from satisfactory. The inequalities
now are much greater than under the
old assessment. and the burden Of tax
ntIen bears more heavily upon real
property than before.
Whether by instruction from politi-
cal managers, rs has been alleged, or
not. II n a fact that the value OF real
property has been generally held NJ
throughout tile State, while the assess
ments OF corporations have been great
ly reduced. Every farmer knows how,
I'm the assessment Of IS .. the value
placed upon his farm I'm 1876 was
closely adhered to, while real estate
In those twenty years declined In value
fully forty per cent.
To show the fayoritism exhibited
towards banks and corporations. the
following extract from an article pre-
pared by Mr.. James w. Owens, OF An
napolis, IL quoted: .
At every session Of the General Assem-
bly, from 1856 TO 1896 corporate Influences
were nj work to pres enf an assessment hiii
After hard tights, bill was passed II may
be proper inquiry TO ask the Board OF
Appeals, composed Of the Comptroller and
Treasurer, whether these corporate In
lincnces have their ear This question IL
pertinent frOuthe large reductions made by
the Board on the assessment OF stocks Of
corporations. To show fhls reduction. we
give Ia two columns tine comparative hg-
ures. The FIRST column represents the as
scssmeHt of 1885 under Treasurer and
Comptroller. Jones and Smith, and the sec.
ond the same for lStj mnder Treasurer aud
