many Illustrations. including twelve
colorad plates OF exposition buildings
and views. These will be sent free to

The ePan-American exposition is very
much larger than people generally have
supposed. and it is apparent that the
Sl0.O00!OOO. which is the approximate
cost OF the exposition as whole, has
been expended most wisely and with the
happiest results.
The use OF nodded staf work and
decorative sculpture upon the buildings
andat all salient points within the courts.
the liberal employment OF hydraulic and
fountain features. the floral and garden
effects. the exquisite colorings Of build
ings and architectural ornaments, and
tho illumination Of the whole with more
than 100000 electric Tampa combine to
mako picture OF unsurpassed loveliness
The musical features are also Of great
importance and interest. The exhibit
divisions are very complete and embrace
the gamut OF industrial, scientific and
artistic activities Of the people Of the
western hemisphere. The Midway,

A Long Time.

In asserting the consttutionality Of the
Porto Rican tariff act and affirming the power
ofCongress to legislate for Porto Rico, regard
less the limitations of the Constitution so far
as it is applicable to the States of the union, the
United States court has forever put an end to
the old Calhoun doctrine so recently invok ed
by the opponents of national expansion
poliCy.-Cumberand Ne~S.
Forever" is long time, yet not 50
long since the same remark was made of
some of John Marshall's decisions, now
overturned.
But if it should turn out within the
memory of men now living that the
Nr"S' use of the term, "forever," as to
"expansion,' be correct, is the same
term applicable when it is also decided
that Congress, having the power to ac-
quire territory, has none whatever to
get rid of it?

FROSTBURG, Md,
TaXcS.

Council will meet next Monday morn
ing to consider appeals, if any, from the
current assessment of property taxable
for municipal purposes.
Without knowing whether the assess
ors have done their work well or i'll, the
presumption should stand in their favor
until exaggerations or inequalities or
both are made manifest
For this reason Council as body and
Councilman as individuals, each repre-
senting the whole town, should deliber-
ate long before yielding i'll any degree to
the first appeal. The JOURNAL under
scores this suggestion because the dction
f,,M takeD, held as a precedent, may be
far-reaching 1t may be held as test
of consistency by which all other actions
will be measured.
But let Council remember all the time
and in every instance that ""itormfH,
far as uniformity is possible, furnishes
the ideal rule for ascertaining taxable
bases. The ideal basis itself, it is true,
has never been reached, bW Hm"y b" "P-
proucLcd, and that right here i'll the town
Of Frostburg.
AS Council proceeds it should not be
forgotten that the obligation to pay taxes
should be kept firmly imposed upon those
most able to carry it. That is, if any
appeal seems justly imperiouS, let indul-
g., l,n NJ M tbnr, thp rich
One of the occasions for popular dis
content i'll this country is founded upon
the evergreen promise of equal taxation,
made to the ear to be broken i'll the hope.
Those who are best able to pay and who
enjoy the larger measure of protection
afforded by government have managed
to share less of the cost, proportionately,
of that protection than those not so be-
neficently favored by fortune.
Another matter commands notice. A
large basis tends, or should tend to lower
the rate upon all, rich and poor. In
some instances, therefore, to reduce the
assessment is equivalent to practical con-
tiScation i'll some others indefinite in
extent, perhaps, but contiscation far as it
reaches. 1t atleast by 50 much raises the
rate upon all others. And as the rate is
all that most people see, it is important
to hold it low as practicable.
But, finally important as the lowest
available rate appears, it is yet more de-
srable, we repeat, to have assessments
made and Kept equable and uniform as
competent, conscientious human judg
ment can fix them.
