FRIDAY OF LAST WEEK.
The Senate passed the bills empowering
Carroll and Frederick county commissioners
to grant use of public roads by electric rail
ways Also the House bill incorporating the
Union Bridge Banking and Trust Company.
The House held only brief session, and most
ly on local matters.
MONDAY.
In the Senate the Pentz sewerage bill for
Baltimore, which passed the House by a near
" unanimous vote. and which created so much
adverse criticism in Baltimore, was killed by
a unanimous vote. A compulsory educational
bill was unfavorably reported, and the bill
was substituted for the report, 1t was dis
cussed, amended so as to apply only to Balti-
more city and Aliegany county, and passed to
a third reading.
In the House Mr. Hofacker introduced a
bill to amend the game laws of Carroll. The
Senate bill authorizing Westminster to sub
scribe to the stock of the Washington, West

Another Useless Appropriation.

The Finance Committee Of the Senate and
the Ways and Means Committee of the House
have agreed upon an appropriation Of $40, 900
for Maryland exhibit at the St. Louis Fair
The ADVOCATE opposed the former bill, which
asked for 500, 900, and which was defeated,
and enters an objection to this appropriation.
1t opposes any appropriation whatever A
State building would only serve to tickle the
pride Of Marylanders who attend the EXPOSE
ton. II would not benefit the State as
whole. Marylanders who make exhibits at
the fair will do so for personal gain, and they
should pay their own expenses. Minerals
should be exhibited by those who have min
cral lands for sale, and as to agricultural pro-
ducts, let the farmers who have lands to dis
pose of unite and make a showing of what the
lands will produce The usual Maryland ex-
hibit includes oysters, but unless some bill e
encourage oyster planting and culture, be pass
ed, in few years Maryland will not have
enough to supply the home demand.

The Entering Wedge Stays.

When the Legislature made an appropria-
priation to the Johns Hopkins University, the
ADvocATE remarked that the appropriation
would be continuing and the University be
fixed charge upon the State. The prediction
has been verified. The University has been
on the pension roll for four years, and is in
the omnibus bill for $4,000 year for the
next two years. After the next two years the
Legislature viii be appealed to for a contin-
uance of the appropriation on the ground that
it is the States policy to foster higher educa-
ton. The wedge driven in four years ago
will not be Withdrawn. The danger is that
it will be driven in further.

Report of the State Board of Edu-
cation.
For the pemocratic AdYocate.


The State Board of Education has issued
the thirty fifth Annual Report showing in de-
tail the work Of the Public Schools for the
year ending July S1st, 1901. This report
furnishes an interesting basis for comparing
the results in different counties.
For money to run the schools the counties
are dependent largely upon the following
sources of revenue: The State School tax,
the County School tax, the free-school fund,
and the appropriation for colored schools. In
some counties the Examiners have stated the
rate of county tax on the hundred dollars; liz
other cases it may be deduced by comparing
the assessed valuation of property in each
county liable d. with the amount received
for school from the County Commissioners
liable d.. In Carroll county, the assessed
valuation is SIG, 1914, 61700, and the County
Commissioners give us annually for school
purposes $33, 10000. This makes the rate in
this county something over 20 cents on the
hundred dollars.
In every county of the State, the following
table will show approximately the county tax
on the hundred dollars, the length of school
year, the average salary for teachers, and the
cost of each pupil:

The Democrats in Congress desire Hon. A.
P. German to become Chairman of the Con-
gressional Campaign Committee to conduct
the Congressional campaign the coming fall.
Mr.. German declined to take up the work,
but offered to give the committee the benefit
of his counsel during the campaign. The
Democrats, however, will make another effort
to induce him to take the Craftsmanship.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1902-03-22
COST PER
COUNTY SCHOOL

It will be seen from this table that some
counties with a rate as low as 10 OF u cents
on the hundred dollars, have or 81 months
school. This is made possible by the fact that
these counties with low rate have large num-
Der of colored people. To these counties the
State makes an appropriation from the State
tax for the whole number of children white
and colored, then it makes an extra appropri-
alton to these same counties per capita for the
colored children. This counts the colored
child twice and it enables them to run their
schools longer with low county tax rate.
Some of the counties also get quite fund from
the oyster tax.
-Four counties have about the Same assess
ment as Carroll, twelve are above, and seven
below. In cost per pupil, eleven counties are
above and eleven below Carroll.

Senator McComas is between hawk and
buzzard." Mudd and Pearre each desires to
be the Maryland member of the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee, and Mr..
McComas has the deciding vote in the Mary
land delegation. He wants to retain the favor
of Pearre and is afraid to oppose Mudd, hence
he is holding off as long as possible.
