LOWER TAXES UNDER DEM
OCRATIC RULE.

A report recently issued from the
Tax Commissioners office shows that.
with few exceptions, the loucst tax
rates are found in the counties under
Democratic rule and the highest in the
counties under Republican rule. This
means nothing more nor less than that
the interests of taxpayers are better
looked after by Democratic officials
than hy Republican officials.
AS Col. Smith forcibly remarked in
his speech accepting the nomination,
"Three-fourths Of the taxpayers of the
State, and very large share of the
intelligence and character OF our peo-
pie, are to be found in the ranks of the
Democratic party" This being the
case, it is natural to expect greater
economy, and consequently lower tax
rates, where the officials are Democrats.
representing in a large measure the
tax-paying element of their respective
communities. The experience of those
counties, which are and have been I'M
der Republican control, ought to fur
nish a lesson for all who have the true
interests of the pnblic at heart. We
certainly have an example here In our
own county, and it is useless to hope
for better results from the Republican
party, as it is now constituted. With
in the last few years in Southern
Maryland, the Republican organization
under its new leadership has grown
more arrogant than ever before in its
history. By it's arbitrary methods it
is gradually eliminating from its ranks
many worthy men, whose sense of
honor and regard for the public inter-
ests have driven them into revolt.
This freezing out process results in the
exclusion from the councils of the ~
ty, and from the management and
direction of party affairs, persons whose
character and integrity have served as
stay to the most dangerous tenden-
cIes and practices of the Republican
regime. The process is necessarily
slow, but it is, nevertheless, effective
Men are loath to renounce their politi-
cal allegiance, and it is often the hope
lessness Of the situation and the sense
of their inability to exert any influence
for good within party lines that drives
them into open opposition.
Unless checked, the Republican
political machine, which is rapidly alb
sorbing within its grasp all the coun-
ties in this section OF the State, will
soon become so well fortified as to defy
the better sentiment of individual Re-
publicans, and inaugufate system of
extravaganza and pillage that will
bring ruin to landowners and tax-pay-
ers. 1t is incumbent upon tax-paying
Republicans,a as we'll as upon Democrats,
to repel the threatened danger. We
point to the significant fact that, almost
without exception, counties under Re-
publican rule have the highest rates of
taxation. When political machines
become fortified in power, as natural
consequence the most daring and I'M
scrupulous come to the front. Such
may be our destiny in Southern Mary
land if right-thinking Republicans are
apathetic and hesitate to unite with
Democrats to crush the threatened evil
in Its incipiency.

The basis in the counties is about what
discriminating rates in taxation in
in favor of wealth, has caused general
average increase of about p cents in
county taxation. The following table of
tax rates for the counties will show this.
1t will be observed, if calculation is
made, that the average rate in 1895 was
IS Sc cents on the 800, and in 1898 it
was SO 1-23.
