the Judges pension law. 1t is graft
flying TO record this demonstration
that republics are not always I'M
grateful.
There are few classes of public ser
wants ofwhom especial qualifications
are required and for the best interests
of the state they are retired from
service when the age of vigorous
manhood has passed. To rob them
at the same time of their calling and
their source of support would be not
less unjust to them than injurious to
the state. Strangely enough in the
recent contest Baltimore city which
pays three fifths of the aggregate
pensions stood solidly for the law,
while the counties received the re.
ward but furnished the opposition.
This is distinct victory for good
government and no section of the
state has more reason for congratu'
lation than has Hartford county.
The escape of the negro murderer,
Winder, from the Towson Jail is be.
ing investigated by the grand jury o.

the incident is certainly an example
of gross carelessness, and the respon
sible parties should be made to an
swer for the ofense. The murder o.
Mr.. Rinehart was foul, cold-blood'
ed affair, and it is a blemish on the
reputation Of the Baltimore county
authorities to allow the principal ii
the crime to go scot-free.

TO ANMLZL lis CHARTER

The committee appointed by the
Maryland Legislature to investigate
the Washington branch of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company
is going about the matter in bust
ness-like way.
From the testimony already taken,
a bill has been drawn and will be in
PRODUCED in the Legislature, asking
that authority be given to institute
legal proceedings for annulling the
charter granted in 1881, because
of the illegal Withholding of divi-
dends that are due the State. 1t is
said that this will amount to over
100000 and will form the basis
of suit in court, which, if success
full, will compel this company to pay
taxes on the property that it owns
in the State. Under the original
charter, the railroad is exempt from
taxation, and if it be nullihed, the
basis of the State will be increased
several millions of dollars. The rea-
sons for this exemption have long
since passed away, and instead of
the railroad now being the property
of the people of Maryland, its con-
troll has passed into the hands of
strangers who make use of our State
and the many rights conferred by
early indulgent legislatures, for COM
mercial reasons only.
it can be legally done, the people
of the State will be glad to see the
charter annulled, as it would mean
substantial reduction in State taxes.

nitely postponed the further con-
sideration of the proposed repeal of

RAIL WAY LEGISLATION.

The effort of President Roosevelt
to bring railways under Federal
supervision had encouraged many
persons in the belief that the Presi-
dent was entirely sincere when he
made such a decided stand in the In
terest of the people, and under the
leadership of Senator Tillman the
fight for the bill in the Senate was
assuming the almost certainty OF
passage.
However, the recent disposition to
compromise has somewhat shaken
faith in the Presidents original stand.
If this is a proper measure, 1t seems
hard to find the middle ground while
the ideas of the opposing sides are so
divergent. There is popular i'm
preston that such a step by the gov
eminent would mean an advance in
socialism, which, however, is not the
case. There can be no question but
what the "differentials" in railroad
business have either made or ruined
many business enterprises. The
strength of the Standard Oil Com
pany is an excellent example of a
prospecting corporation that has been
allowed to thrive almost entirely
through the muni6cence of the rail-
roads that have Disseminated in its
favor. While other oil companies
have gone under, the Standard has
been able to compete with any exist
ing conditions, almost entirely from
the fact that it has had the advan-
tage of low cost of shipments.
We hope that the Democratsin our
national assemblage will not relent
in their fight for the people, and that
the powerful influence OF President
Roosevelt may yet aid them in the
peoples battle against the abuse OF
the concentrated power of money.
TO EXEMPT PERSONAL PROPERTY
Governor Folk, of Missouri, has
emphasized the policy of abandoning
the tax on personal property, and
putting all the direct expenses of
government on the realestate. There
is no question but what the unfair
ness of taxing personal property
is one of the weak points of our
present form of government. A man
with 100000 very frequently con-
tributes nothing on his property if it
is in the shape of stocks and bonds,
while the poor farmer has to pay for
every horse, cow or sheep that he
may own. 1t is also urged that the
temptation to commit perjury is
very strong, and where owners are
required to make a return of the per-
sonal property that they may pos
sess, the habit of swearing them
selves off is quite common. Then
again, the estates of widows and
orphans that go through the equity
courts or orphans courts, are made
to contribute full share, while many
persons who can protect themselves
are relieved from paying any taxes
whatever.
1t was a favorite theory of the late
Henry George that realestate should
bear all the burden of taxation, and
there are many who believe in this
principle. While we are not prepared
togo thus far, the inequalities on per-
sonal property are so apparent that
some efectual remedy should be sug-
gested. Either everybody ought to
be made to pay a just share on these
holdings or else the tax should be re-
pealed.
