WHAT CORPORATIONS PAY.

The total revenue of the state dur
ing the year ending December 1st, 1901,
was $17727,4 ,432. OF this amount $10,-
307 433 was derived directly from the
corporations by the various forms of
taxation imposed upon these artificial
bodies.
The only direct taxation affecting the
individual was that upon money at in
tereSt, from which the state collected
$2,563, SIS, as stated above This in
reality is not sta,n bit Il local tax,
collected by the sta.o ara returned to
the various municipalities. The aggra-
gate revenue of the commonwealth for
1901 after deducting the personal tax
refunded, was SIS, 4,757, Of which
amount the corporations paid S10,3O7,-
1873; $2, 1872 POI was derived from licen-
ses; 1892, ,GS2 from the tax on collat-
eral inheritance. These three items
amounted to S13,991, ,uG, leaving the
sum of S1,163, ,041 received from a va
riety of sources none of them affecting
the individual citizen.
1t will be seen therefore, that out
of the entire revenue of the common
wealth the only portion that could be
contorted into a direct tax upon the
citizen was that part of the money at
interest not returned to the municipal
tiles amounting to one-fourth of the to-
tai collected from that source and
amounting to the insignificant sum of
about 10 cents per annum for each per-

Prior to the passage of the Act of
1885 the whole amount of moneyed
capital returned for the purpose of
state taxation was but $145, 100000. In
that year, even under the imperfect
working of the act, the amount re-
turned for taxation was 1896, 100000,
an increase of $3.50 100000 According
to the auditor generals report of 1901
the amount of the four mill tax on per-
sonal property amounted to 81, ,563, 375. =
OF, and of this tax there was returned
to the several counties $2,572, 675.42.
These facts and figures speak for
themselves. They are more impress
sive than any words could possibly be
in demonstrating what the Republican

burden of state taxation from the
shoulders of the small home owner and

Gave Cuticle TO Seve Brother.

Amos Williams, of Point township,
Northumberland county, underwent n
heroic ordeal last week in the Mary
land General Hospital, at Baltimore,
to save the life of his brother, David.
Eight pieces of skin, each an inch and
half in width and twelve inches in
length were taken from his thighs and
grated on Dayid's right side Both
patients are getting along nicely and
the surgeons think that David's re-
covery is assured The brothers occupy
beds side by side in the hospital
On September David, who operates
an electric crane in the bloom mill of
the Maryland Steel Company, at Spar
rows Point, Maryland, was caught i'll
the big cog wheels and terribly crush
ed. His ribs were splintered, several
pieces puncturing the lungs. He was
hurried to the hospital, but the surg
cons gave no hope for his recovery
His wonderful vitality carried him
| through and he began to get better
The torn flesh, from the hip to under
the arm, would not heal so the opera
tion of skin grating was decided up
on.
Amos, who lives on a farm between
this city and Northumberland and who
is strong and healthy, was written to
and consented to give his flesh for the
sake of bringing about the recovery
of his brother. 1t will be several weeks
before he will be able to leave the
! hospital. Even then he will have to
remain III Baltimore and go to the
hospital to have the wounds made bv

they are entirely healed David Will
