l. Under government ownership, in Rus
STA, refined coal oil is sold at profit for
three cents gallon. Compare this with
the price of coal oil in this country, as
shown by the following quotation from a
trade journal: "Within three years the
wholesale price of kerosene oil has been
advanced by the Standard Oil Company
from 8H cents to 1873 cents, the new
schedule price"
Is it any wonder that in this country,
which is paradise for trusts, the Stan
dard Oil Company can pay dividends
of $50, 900, 900 a year on its preferred
and common stock, which stock repre-
sents more water by far than it does oil.
Under government control of this gigan-
tic trust oil would not be selling at Is
cents per gallon, nor would the enor-
nous profits go into thepockets of a lew,
but would be devoted to the expenses of
government and Tighten by so much the
tax burden. By an increase of one cent
a gallon in the price of refined kerosene
oil throughout the United States the
Standard Oil trust added $40, DOC, 900 to
its yearly income. 1t ought not require
much figuring to show which would pay
the people best, to let this trust remain
under private ownership for the benefit
of few shrewd magnates, or have the
government acquire control, when the
people would share alike in the profits in
the manner mentioned.

Resolution of Respect.

Passed by the Board of Directors of the
National Bank of Rising Sun, November
10, 1908, referring to the death of William
L. Mearns, on October 2o, 1908.
GAS for man his days are as grass-as flower OF
the field so he fiourisheth.
For the wind passeth over it and it is gone and
the place thereof shall know it no more"
Again and for the second time during
the present year, are we called upon to
chronicle the death of one of our number
truly eve know not even what day
may bring FORTH
In the quiet, peaceful hamlet of Zion
and the countryside Whereabouts, William
l.. Mearns spent his life of almost four
score years, and which as suddenly came
to a close ''as the twiukling of an eye"
early in an October morning when Indian
Summer with its balmy air and painted
foliage was triumphantly supreme.
He was a useful man, awake and Wig
liant for whatever was for the welfare of
the community in which he so long re-
sided. His familiar form. his wise coun-
sci and his we'll known attitude upon all
religious and moral questions are missed
and will be missed for long time after
many of his contemporaries will be
forgotten.
The sincerity of his delight and pleas
ure experienced in cordial intercourse
with his life long friends and neighbors
was only equalled by his unqualified
condemnation Of anything that savored
of wrong or injustice.
For over four years he has met with us
and no matter how numerically cold or
oppressively warm, no matter how stormy
or how uncomfortable, he was found in
his accustomed seat Only when absent
from home or sick did he fail to answer
at our weekly roll call. AS he has now
answered to the final Roll Call and must
be forever absent, let it be
ReS0L0ed. That we remember William
L. Mearns as a man whose conservative
judgment and decided convictions were of
great value to our Board, his apparent
pleasure in our deliberations was only
reciprocal with our appreciation of his
kind and generous impulses towards us
ALL and we join her who was his close
companion for SO many years, who now
sits in the solitude of the evening and
awakes in the sadness of the morning /;
we join his life time companions and
friends who knew him so we'll and knew
him to no discredit we join them all in
cutting his name in deep and indelible
letters upon the tablet of memory with
these headlines:
A kind husband-A sincere friend
A good citizen-An honest man
Always on the side of right as he was
given to see the right.

The names most, prominently mention.
ed in connection with the senatorial race
for Louis E. McComas' seat are, Isidor
Raynor, Governor John Walter Smith,
Ex-Governor Elihu E. Jackson, L. Victor
Baughman and ex-Congressmau Joshua
w. Miles, while others may be placed OIL
the card before the entries close at the
coming legislature.
1t has been repeatedly asserted that
Senator German AMI other democratic
ringsters encouraged Mr.. Rayner's can
didacy only to secure his aid in the cam
paign, but that when the legislature meets
they will exert all the power of the ma
chine to elect Governor Smith. The in
dicstions are that lively fight is brewing,
and 1t is intimated that the old Eastern
Shore senatorial law will be revived, by
which one Senator was chosen from the
Eastern and the other from the Western
Shore of the Chesapeake. The Repub.
licans repealed the law at the session OF
1896 to assist in the election of Senator
Wellington. The revival of this law
would rid the ring of Rayner; who resides
in Baltimore, and leave Smith, Jackson
and Miles, all Eastern Shore men, still in
the field.

Either the agrarian policy of Jefferson
must be maintained in this country, OF
State socialism, which is the next best
policy for the common people, will surely
be adopted. The rich practically escape
all indirect taxes. and swear off nearly
the whole burden of direct taxes. They
unite in corporations, and thereby escape
all inheritance taxes while the average
man pays all sorts of taxes, because lie
cannot evade them. Either there should
be no great estates or else all estates
should pay taxes proportionate to their
real value.
