Prohibiting the Collection of Taxes from
Those Who Become Disqualified from
Voting Under the New Law.

Prohibiting the Collection of Taxes from
Those Who Become Disqualified from
Voting Under the New Law.
Assemblyman Patrick f. Finzel
scored point on the Democrats in
the Maryland Legislature on last
Thursday by Introducing into the
House a bill prohibiting the collec-
ton of taxes from those who are dis
qualified from voting by the new
election law passed at the present
session. The bill was referred to the
committee on legislation where no
doubt it will be smothered. The text
of the proposed measure follows:
An Act to prohibit all residents of the
State of Maryland, who are disfran-
chised by the election passed at the
extraordinary sessions, in the year
nineteen hundred and one, from
paying State and county taxes.
SECTION /. Be it enacted bv the
General Assembly of Maryland, That
all persons who are residents of the
State of Maryland, who are disfran-
chlsed and are unable to vote at the
next general election to be held in the
State of Maryland in the month of
November, in the year nineteen hun
dred and one, shall be prohibited
from paying State and county taxes.
SEC. .. Any person or persons who
shall try to collect either or both State
and county taxes from persons who
are disfranchised, shall be subject to
a fine of five hundred dollars for each
and every offense.
SEC. 3. The Supervisors of Election
shall furnish the collector of taxes a
list of all persons who were disfran-
chised at the November election in
the year 1901, and it shall be unlaw-
full for the collector to collect taxes
from the people so disfranchised.
SEC. 4. And be it enacted, That
this Act shall take effect from the
date of its passage.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1901-03-28

spective parties, and when we further
realize the able efforts of the campaign
editors of campaign sheets, we must AS
honest men and in all conscience, ad-
NIT that the voter who is more liable
to be taken off his feet and deceived
is the educated and not the illiterate
citizen.
1t is the most true, and every man
realizes it as he goes through the
world either in politics or business or
trade, the specifically educated in
dividual is, as rule, inferior in intel
ligence, depth and experience to the
practically educated illiterate. And
nowhere do we find this better illus
trated than among the negroes of the
South.
| do not undervalue letters, Mr..
Speaker, but many an individual has
turned into a frivolous, trifling and
utterly unreliable citizen by little
learning, who might otherwise be. a
contented. honest and Industrious
toiler.
The cities of the country are crowd
ed with examples or illustrations of
the fact
"A little learning is a dangerous thing"
What | desire to convey is not an
argument in disparagement of letters
nor defense of illiteracy, but dem
onstration of well known truth that
illiteracy is not ignorance where ma
tural intelligence in man is not de-
ticient or below the average and edu-
cation is powerless to impart knowl-
edge, common sense or intellectual su-
periority to those whose natural in
telligence is deficient and whose COM
mon sense is below par. | value let
tiers. | have been an educational in
structor in the schools for over nine
years and have had some experience
along the line of my remark, which
has convinced me that of all blather-
sixties the most irrepressible and the
most intolerable is the so-called edu-
Gated ass, who, posing as a free-born
American citizen, would impose con-
ditions for his equally free-born
neighbor of a nature as offensive as
they are senseless and inadequate as
test of either patriotism, intelli-
gence or manhood.
This proposed law, Mr.. Speaker. is
undemocratic, un-Jeffersonian and
un-Jacksonian inasmuch as it seeks
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1901-03-28

to degrade an equal fellow citizen
our peer in every legal sense-below
that dignity and privilege which is
the birthright inheritance of the
native born and which is conferred
upon the aspiring, worthy and liberty
loving of other lands who elect to
throw in their lot with ours. To be
consistent, if you pass this measure.
you should not hesitate to.also enact
legislation relieving from all taxation
the disfranchised citizens of the State,
for taxation without representa-
ton" in the primer of American edu-
cation lis tyranny"
Were | inspired by the hope of par
tisan advantage | would remain dis
creetly silent while you enacted this
most Ubiquitous measure, for there is
no doubt in the mind of any reasona-
bic man in Maryland that the enact
ment into law of this bill will result
disastrously to the party involved.
You will no longer be able to hide
your defeat behind the ubiquitious
negro and the Republican party will
fight you, white man for white man,
with the unviolated constitution on
our side and with the consistent rec
ord of a government by the people,
for the people and of the UhOIe peo-
pie.
The passage OF this law, Mr. Speak
er, will direct the eyes of the whole
country to Maryland, and not only
our own but foreign countries will be
the witnesses of our shame and retro
erosion. Maryland will be irrepar-
ably injured in this backward step,
and the capital and prosperity we
were surely woOing to our shores
by the manifestation of our progress
which we were continuously giving
and not the least of which was the
wheeling of the State into line with
the advancing Republican column in
November last-will now abandon us
and seek investment and outlet else
where.
These are the motives which move
me, Mr.. Speaker, to protest with all
the emphasis of my soul against the
enactment of this measure and the
Acknowledgement of honest, law
abiding and God-fearing citizens,
whose misfortune land not whose
fault you would punish by reducing
them to the condition of Hellots in
the land of their birth, a land nur-
tured by the blood of their fathers in
the establishment of liberty and pre-
served by themselves and their sons
against domestic and foreign foes.
When the sunlight of heaven flashed
upon the naked steel of the gallant
negro soldiers, who with their white
comrades mounted to the assault of
San Juan hill, neither Shafter nor
Roosevelt nor even Fighting Joe"
Wheeler halted the column to pick
out the illiterates. All were equal in
the face of death, and cheering and
charging side by side with Old Glory
kissing the breeze, the blue uniforms
of black men and white men were
seen through the cannon smoke as
cending step by step the heights upon
whose summit Freedom stood ready
TO laurel the brave and embrace the
regenerated and emancipated Gem of
the Antilles.
