Some Figures.

With crushing indirection the Cum
berland independent credits this to Il
"Frostburg paper"
The JOURNAL understands that there is
between 10 and II millions of dollars worth
of property in Cumberland.
And then with an incivility charac-
terlstlc of anti-pulp malignity it adds
And yet you have the supreme impotence
to spend about eleven months of the wear
shouting about the taxes of the county being
paid by Frostburg and contiguous villages
Exactly ''ten-tenths' of that charge,
quoting from the independent elsewhere,
has no application to the subject its
writer attempted to comment upon.n
The JOURNAL did not refer to the
value on which county taxation is
based. 1t repeated figures gwen it by
an estimable gentleman high on the
roll OF polluted water redcemers.
But when it comes to taxable values,
if the independent must have it on that
line. the JOURNAL will show that Cum
berIand property is assessed for county
taxation but little over half of what its
capitalists reckon its market value.
More than that, it will show that its
assessment value is but little over malt
of the same value on Georges Creek.
including Mt. Savage and little farm
land asst of WaCtarnport
Reduced to taxes paid, the showing
Is as follows:
East of Cumberland. % 323 O6
Cumberland. Observation-Disclosures. 1882 O6
If the assessment figures are wanted,
here they are:
East of Cumberland. e. ....S 2,5G5, SOS. 50
Cumberland. ............... 63BgO3. 20
georges creek '''''...'......... ii 500, 1911
These tignres are absolutely correct
If the last annual levy list is not in
any way misleading.
But more important consideration
appears in the qucstion-who eats
most of these taxes
The answer is Cumberland gets
back and eats all she pays and at
least SD, 900 that outside people pay I.
AS sample instance-one news
paper down there gets for county
work as much as all the county papers
outside taken together, aud nearly 81
times more, and all the city papers
get as much and over times besides :,
That Is to say, in the one instance,
the one newspaper gets nearly 49,
cents of each dollar, all outside over
%! cents: in the other all the city
papers get over S3t cents, all outside
onl y a fraction over Is cents.
If the independent wants more figures
of this character in some other lines

by Law

In New Jersey and other States there have
been judicial decisions adverse to the right of
cities to discharge sewa ye into a flowing river
Baltimore Smn.
Without apparently experimenting
such an outcome, that is precisely the
sort of chicken Cumberland is trying
to bring home to roost.
This sort of thing, however, in the
terse language of the Supreme Court
Of the United States on a notable oc-
casion-
is not legislation. 1t is a decree under
legislative forms.
But if the water must be redeemed"
above that town by enactment, it fol-
lows with logical certainty that it
must not remain damned below.

STATE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The republicans Of North Dakota In
convention assembled reafirm the prin-
ciples Of the platform OF the republican
national convention held at PHILADELPHIA
in June, 1900.
The present happy and prosperous con-
dition Of the American people is the result
Of the wise administration Of the repub-
lican party and the enactment into law of
the more important principles of the plat
form OF 1896.
y Four years Of democratic rule had para
lyzed the Industries of the country, rem
dered farming unrennmerattYe, inlpoyer-
ished labor, unsettled all monetary values
and practically bankrupted the United
States treasury. In as5time or profound
peace q democratic administration was
forced TO sell government bonds to5pay the
necessary n current expenses OF the gov.
eminent. Under the wise, business-like
and patriotic administration Of President
Mckinley these conditions have all been
changed. All branches Of Industry remain
active and successful; AGRICULTURAL Interests
more prosperous and labor more generally
and continuously employed and better paid
than at any previous time. Monetary
values have been fixed and settled and IN
the treasury of the United States tnstead
OF q deficit. one Of the marked features Of
a democratic administration, we find a
revenue adequate to meet all the demands
of the government.
We favor such legislation as will de-
stroy all unlawful combinations OF capital
formed for the purpose of linniting produc-
ition or increasing the price OF manufactured
