The Assessment Law.

The Assessment law of 1896 provided for an
assessment of personal property in 1898 and
every two years thereafter. This provision
was repealed in 1898 and reenacted, providing
for listing of personal property in 1907, and
every six years thereafter. At least that is
what the Legislature intended to do, but
failed, and the amendment is held by some to
be seriously defective. Il was intended that
the State Tax Commissioner should furnish
blanks and books for the new assessment, but
the amendment failed to require this, and the
State Tax Commissioner has refused to sup
ply them.
Assessors have been appointed in Baltimore,
Hartford and several other counties, the neces-
sary blanks being furnished by the County
Commissioners, and the work of assessment
begun.
The Legislature should take up this matter
at once. and either amend the law so as to
require an assessment this year and provide
for furnishing blanks and books, or provide
FOR uniform listing at some future time. In
ONE counties the Commissioners have been
advised by counsel not to appoint assessors
under section 192a, the amendment passed In
1898; in others, as above noted, assessing is
being done. II should be uniform through
out the State-either no assessment at all, or
all counties and the city of Baltimore be re-
quired to list personal property. to avoid
inequalities and dissatisfaction. Under the
law as it now stands it is questionable whether
the Commissioners have the authority to APP
point assessors as it provides that such listing
must be done under the order and direction
Of the ssBoard of Assessors" and no such
bodies exist in the State.

Roosevelt Owes Reparation.

It is said that Ex- Governor Lloyd Lowndes
would like to enter Roosevelt's Cabinet, and
would not be averse to succeeding John d.
Long as Secretary of the Navy. Lowndes
deserves we'll at the hands of Roosevelt. The
latter "blazed path of enthusiasm" in West
ern Maryland for Lowndes when the latter
was candidate for reelection in 1899, and
every county in which he spoke, except one,
went heavily Democratic, and that one gave
largely reduced Republican majority. Balti'
more City, where Roosevelt showed his teeth
and gave an exhibition of facial contortions,
gave large Democratic majority also.
Lowndes would add neither wisdom to the
Cabinet nor brilliancy to the Navy Depart
ment, but Roosevelt certainly owes him some
reparation for aiding in his defeat by his dull
and irrelevant stump talk, when wisdom,
briliancy and common sense were expected.

Beware of Petitions.

The Legislature is in session and heretofore
that body has been flooded by petitions upon
all sorts of matters. The right of petition was
once much valued one, and petitions meant
something. Of late years they represent the
desires or wishes of the individual or indiyid-
uals circulating them, and most of the signers
mean that they have written their names to
avoid opportunities and being bored. Men,
bers of the Legislature should not forget this,
and not be too much impressed by long list
&c.

to cause dislocation of the right shoulder

ton of his right knee joint.
Grover, son of Mr.. David Fl. Warehime, on

Voting by Machinery.

Voting by machinery, as illustrated and ex-
nlained in the Baltimore Sun of Tuesday, is
not needed in Maryland. A substantial step
toward securing an intelligent electorate was
made ia the last amendmentto the ballot law.
removing party emblems and arranging the
list Of nominees alphabetically. As we nm
derstand the machine plan Of voting, the bal
lots have party emblems, and by moving q
single knob stright ticket can be voted. We
believe in straight voting, but also in inteiil-
gent voting. Use Of the voting machine
would enable every illiterate to vote. Any
change in voting should tend to secure intelli :
gent voting. Removing party designations
after names of candidates and requiring voters
to write at the top of their ballots what ticket
they intend to vote, Democratic, Republican,
Prohibition or split ticket, as has been sug-
gested. would be il the line of progress in
securing an intelligent expression OF pubhc
sentiment Machines would be expensive,
and voting by them. would facilitate illiterate
voting and be confusing to those who desire
to vote split tickets. All recent ballot re-
forms in Maryland have been agitated by q
class of voters in Baltimore, who have no
fixed political principles, and vote as their
personal interests dictate. This class clam
ored for the Australian ballot system, and its
several amendments. Party emblems were
permitted or required, SO the illiterates could
ynte straight to satisfy the Republicans, but
every change has not only been expensive but
added nothing TO the honesty Of elections.
The last change in the form of the ballot was
a sensible one; and should the law be amended
so as 10 remove party designations after the
names of candidates and require voters to
write the sort of the ballot they intend to vote,
intelligent voting would be promoted, while
Independent, or split ticket, voting would be
facilitated.
Whether the Legislature will make any
change in the form of the ballot remains to be
seen. The law ought to be amended SO as to
allow more.time for printing and posting lists
Of names of newly registered and erased vo-
tiers, and also for printing ballots. This work
is always hurried, and it is very doubtful
whether all the registration lists are posted IN
any county liz the prescribed time.

Largely taxdodgers who, had they paid the taxes
called for by law; who, had they not dodged from

Baltimore World
Very true. 1t is the case everywhere. The
people who pay little or no taxes always favor
large ex penditares. They are ever liberal
with money contributed by others. Nearly
every scheme involving expenditure of the
public money meets with their appreciation.
They would have Aims Houses, the most OF
whose inmates are there by reason oftheir own
thriftlessness, made first class hotels. They
would have Jails and Penitentiaries supplied
with libraries and the prisoners well fed and
gently cared for, forgetting that they are places
of punishment, not houses of pleasure and ease.
They would be liberal in appropriations to
universities and colleges; high schools they
would locate on every hilltop, and public roads
would be as smooth as floors and expensive
bridges span every stream wherever fancy
would suggest. Salaries of school teachers
would be doubled and the standard Of study
increased. Tax-dodgers and those who pay
little or no taxes would have a perfect Ito
pia-just so long as otherpeople pay the bills.
These people believe in a paternal govern
ment--a government that does for the people
what they should do for themselves. Govern
mental assistance is wrong in principle and
unjust in practice. Almshouses, with tirst-
class hotel accommodations, are conducive
to idleness and thriftlessness, and so are Jails
and Penitentiaries, conducted on the hotel
and library plan. People, too lazy to work,
are tempted to commit crime in order to be
housed in them. Paternal government tends
to dwarf the energies of the people, stiae am
hition and retard progress materially and
mentally. Things easily attained are usually
not appreciated. Work and constant en-.
deayor is far better for the people than pater'
nal government.

Merited Reward.

In nominating Hon. Murray Vandiver for
reelection as State Treasurer the Democratic
legislative caucus carried out the party viii
and accorded merited reward to careful
financial officer and prudent and ever con-
slant party worker. The two Democrats
who did not vote for him in caucus, we are
sure, represented individual opinions ane
not the sentiment of their Democratic con
stituents, and Mr.. Isaac Lobe Stratus, who die
not attend the caucus at all, is fast progress
ing toward political retirement.

Senator German.

The unanimous nomination of Mr.. German
for United States Senator by the Democratic
caucus of the Legislature on Wednesday night
was compliment to that able statesman and
q reflection of the viii of the party in the
State. He has been sadly missed in the upper
branch of Congress, not only as the Demo-
cratic leader, but his force and wisdom, his
knowledge and ability have been wanting in
matters of legislation ever since he left the
Senate chamber three years ago. His re-
entry in March, 1908, will be hailed with favor
by the Democracy of the whole Union and by
business and conservative men of all parties.
He is regarded as safe and conservative by
the business interests of the country.

The Fidelity and Deposit Company


In our advertising columns today appears a
financial statement of the Fidelity and Deposit
Company of Maryland, of which Hon. Edwin
Warfeld was the organizer and is the president.
1t is bonding company, the first established
in the South, and now the strongest in the
world. All public officials, all executors,
administrators, trustees, receivers, clerks,
cashiers, car conductors and nearly all en-
ployes, not laborers, are required to give bond.
If is difficult often to get private security, es
pecially by those who have little or no prop
esty. To obtain an endorsement by the FL
deity and Deposit Company It's only neces-
sary to prove good character. Any man, no
matter if he is not possessed of property, will
be bonded in any reasonable amount by this
company, if he is honest. Thus the Fidelity
and Deposit Company is public benefactor.
1t levels men, and places all honest men upon
an equal footing, regardless of their worldly
possessions. The Company has often, by the
uniformed, been classed with the trusts. 1t
is exactly the opposite. The Fidelity and
Deposit Company aids men; the trusts pluck
them.
The statement shows how the money of the
company is invested, its financial strength and
its suficiency as surety.

recommended President Roosevelt for brevet
colonelcy, sfor distinguished conduct in the
presence of the enemy before Santiago" 1t

that Roosevelt signed the Ground Robin, !"
and it would seem that he deserves repri-
mand, similar to that he administered to Gen.
Miles. rather than brevet colonelcy. After
receiving that he might be awarded medal
for shooting two Spaniards in the back whilst
they were running away. Such bold, courage
GUS action should not go unrewarded.
