Against the Banks

The city of Baltimore has won its suit in
the United States Circuit Court OF Appeals
against the national banks. The banks de-
clined to pay higher rate than thirty Genus
on the 500, the rate imposed by the state on
foreign stocks and securities. The United
States law provides that national bank stocks
shall not be taxed any higher than the lowest
rates imposed upon other stocks. The banks
commended that, as the state taxed foreign
stocks at only thirty cents on the Sloo Tor
county, city and municipal purposes, natiohai
hank stocks should be taxed at the same
rate. The law officers of the city held that
the stock should pay the regular city tax rate,
which was then $500 on the 500, or two per
cent, and the next year was $40. test
case was made by the National Bank OF Bal
timore. The bank lost in the United States
Circuit Court in Baltimore, and took an ap :
neal to the United States Circuit Court OF
Appeals and this court last Saturday decided
in favor of the city, The amount due the city
from the back taxes on bank stocks aggre-
gates over S53l 900, and the taxpayers are
rejoicing over feuuctiou i" 'he ~
about $1.7O on the 500 for this year
A tax of two per cent. on national bank
stocks in addition to the state and government
tax, seems pretty steep, bu thank stocks at this
rate. are better investments than real estate.
Besides, there are five or six thousand tenant
less buildings in Baltimore. from which no
income is received, but upon which taxes
have to be paid, insurance charges and repairs
as well.

Maryland Legislature.

MONDAY NIGHT.-In the Senate President
Hubner offered II petitions from churches
and residents of Baltimore protesting against
any change in the present Sunday laws; also
two petitions asking that general local OPP
ton law be passed. A number of new bills
were introduced and several House bills
passed.
In the House, petitions were presented
against any change in the Sunday laws, nu
merous leaves granted to introduce new bills
after which the Darr- Merrick election con-
test WIS taken up. and lengthy debate
followed on the printing of the testimony,
which was passed.
TUEsDAY.-In the Senate new bills and pc
titions were presented, and bills favorably
reported The Baltimore ST. gas bill was
taken up, and after considerable debate was
passed BY vote of IA to 9; three Senators
being absent.
In the House, numerous bills and petitions
were presented and referred, favorable and
unfavorable reports made, and hearing to
large delegations on the Sunday law, before
the Judiciary Committee. Speeches for and
against the passage of the bill were made. and
| the bill was made the special order for Thurs
day. The night session was busy one.
WEDNEsDAY-In the Senate, after the offer
ing of petitions, granting leaves for new bills,

received from liquor license fees, and was, on
motion of Senator Bryan, recommitted to the
Committee on Finance. 1t had been report.
ed unfavorably some days ago, and was a
special order Of the day. In explanation of
his motion Mr.. Bryan stated that it was his
intention to offer amendments to make the
provisions of the bill applicable to all conn
ties of the state as well as Baltimore city.
| Senators Crothers, Chairman of the Finance
| Committee, objected to the bill, and gave
some strong reasons why the law should re-
main as it is.
In the House, a large amount of work was
transacted. Speaker Wilkinson warned the
| members that business is accumulating, and
that there are more bills on the files than
there have been at any time this session. The
occasion for the warning was after motion
to take recess until eight o'clock Wednesday
evening had been defeated. The Speaker
was anxious to have the evening sessions con
tinue. A motion to adjourn until twelve
o'clock tomorrow prevailed. The truth is
that business has accumulated because of the
talkativeness of some of the members. The
Committee on Rules has tackled the dilema
by adopting Il rule to be submitted to the
House, limiting each member to five minutes
in debating any proposition before the House.

In the dream of imperialism, the Mckinley
Administration forgot that the United States
had charter and that that instrument was
still honored, revered and upheld by the great
mass of the people of the country. LII their
grabbing scheme, they saw only trade
and dollars Now that the Republican party
has to face the problems of government ior
the new possessions, seized in the face OF the
direct declaration of Congress that the United
States in going to war with Spain disclaimed
any intention of territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
they find Constitution stands in the way Of
fully carrying out their schemes on the one
hand, and they find the trusts, the manstay Of
the Republican party, Directing on the Other
hand. because free trade with the new posses
sions means serious impairment of theiI
profits.

Kill the Bill.

Mayor Hayes started a demand that Balti-
more city be allowed to retain all of the money
collected from liquor licenses in the city and
the people generally fell in with the idea A
bill is before the General Assembly to carry
out the Mayors idea. II Baltimore should
be allowed to retain her license money every
county in the state would make similar de-
mand, and an increase in the state tax rate
would have to be made. If Baltimore can
retain the money received from liquor licenses,
why not retain that from traders and other
licenses. The idea is ridiculous, unless the
state changes its policy, gives up licenses and
resorts to direct taxation to raise funds TO
support the state government.

ing to increased cost of material used in produc-
ton directly or indirectly affected by trusts.

All just powers of government are derived
from the consent of the governed, says our
Declaration of Independence.
The Mckinley Administration was not in
vited to govern the Philippines. In fact the
people protested against our presence on
their territory and with force have tried 10
drive away our soldiers.
Puerto Rico did not ask for annexation to
the United States. The Mckinley Admins
tration took forcible possession, which was
"criminal aggression" and then proceeded
to treat the people of the island as foreigners
by imposing tariff upon her products.

Another War Predicted.

A special dispatch to the New York Herald
from London, under date of February %,
says that war between England and France IS
inevitable and the time for it will be shortly
after the close of the International EXPOSE
ton. The press of the two countries have
been severe in criticisms, and one French
paper has been caricaturing Queen Victoria.
Added to this, the Duke of Orleans has
written the artist n complimentary letter on
his work. Still further, Frence and English
interests have clashed in Northern Africa.
The Herald's dispatch says the prospect OF
war between England and France is sire myth
ened by a knowledge of an understanding be-
tween the Kaiser and Queen, which leaves
Germany free action in Asia Minor in return
for England's free action in South Africa.

The Courts to Decide.

The Puerto Rican tariff bill passed the
House of Representatives on Wednesday by a
vote of 172 to ISL. Three Democrats voted
for the bill and six Republicans against it.
1t is said the bill will pass the Senate also
and will receive McKinley's signature. The
matter will be passed upon by the courts, and
the decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States will be awaited with interest as
defining the position the new possessions hold
to the United States and the power of Con.
gress in legislating for them. The matter
will arise out of a suit of citizen Of Puerto
Rico for the recovery of duties paid on goods
imported from the United States.

Mckinley has not publicly congratulated
Queen Victoria on the capture of Gen. Cronje
and his army, but he and his cabinet no
doubt rejoiced when the news of the surren-
der was received. The tacit understanding
seems to be-England to have free action in
Africa, Russia in Asia Minor and the United
States in the Philippines. Free action of
voters next November will tell the Mckinley
Administration what the people ofthe United
States think of an understanding between the
Administration and imperial powers of Eu-

McKinley's Consistency.

President Mckinley said that tForcible
possession would be criminal aggression" and
then straighway started war to take forcibe
possession of the Philippine Islands. In his
last message to Congress he said "Our plain
duty is to abolish all customs tariffs between
the United States and Puerto Rico, and give
her products free access to our markets., and
then consented to demand of the Sugar and
Tobacco trusts to bill levying tariff of IL
per cent. of the regular tax on imports from
foreign countries upon all imports from Puerto
Rico

This is at the rate of 81, 666.66 for each stu
