The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1906-12-14

The annual report of Secretary of the
Interior Hitchcock gives some idea Of
the enormity of the land fraud scandal
with which his Department has been
wrestling. Despite the inactivity of Con-
gress and the powerful political influences
which have been exerted against the Sec.
rotary he has succeeded in obtaining So
convictions in the AGO indictments for
fraud found against persons of high and
low degree. Congress is to blame for the
existence of the system which has bred
corruption in the public land department,
and persistently refuses to lend the Sec
rotary any assistance in ferreting out or
bringing to justice the guilty parties. The
reason for this inaction is readily found
in the fact that numerous United States
Senators and Representatives are impli,
Gated in the frauds, and naturally they
decline to aid in their own conviction.

Condition OF Our public Roads.

The following item, relative to the con-
dition of the public roads in upper Cecil
was furnished the Oxford Press by its
Calvert correspondent !:
"The Commissioners of Cecil county
would do good service for the travelling
public the coming winter by fencing up
the public road from Calvert to the Penn
sylvania State line below Chrome, Ches-
ter county. A great portion of this road
is now unfit to travel on because of mat.
tention by the party whose duty it is to
keep it in repair. 1t is full of holes and
deep muddy ruts, with many large sized
stones lying on its surface. The 'mender, ;
we are informed. has not done any work
on it this year. People travelling from
the north to Calvert should go and return
by way OF the White House
The ''inattention" complained of by
the Calvert correspondent is responsible
for the wretched condition of numerous
of our roads, and as the season at present
is one wherein little road work can be
done there is not much prospect for i'm
provement. Some weeks ago the Cou-
missioners were petitioned to gravel the
Barnes Corner road, in The hope that the
work might be done before winter set in,
but no action, we understand, was taken.
1t is hoped that if this work is ever done
the matter of preparation of the road bed
and drainage will be given proper atten-
ton before the gravel is applied, if good
results are expected. The dumping of
gravel in the roads without due attention
to the important items mentioned. as has
been done in numerous instances, has
proven as unsatisfactory in obtaining
lasting results as have the other careless
methods of road mending long practiced
in our county.

France is in an uproar over the enforce
ment of the law for the separation OF the
Church and State. The situation is the
outcome of the law of associations cul-
tuelles," passed to regulate the relations
between the State and religious bodies.
1t provides that persons may associate
themselves together for religious worship
if they comply with the requirements of
the law regarding the management OF
their property. Church property is for
feited to the State for noncompliance to
the law. The law has bees described as
establishing the same relations between
religious bodies and the State as exist in
this country.

According to figures compiled by R. G
Dunn Company the cost of living is on
the increase, it requiring 81 more fol
living expenses during the month ending
December 1, than it did the month pre-.
vious. The cost of commodities is the
highest since February, 1884. The mark.
ed advance in prices is explained as due
to the higher cost of butter, eggs, milk,
dairy and garden products Breadstufs
were lower on account of the decline in
wheat and corn. Meats, with the excep-
ton of live beef, were fractionally lower,
and small decline occurred in mess
pork, bacon, live hogs, lard and tallow.
Butter is up cents pound, eggs cents
a dozen and hay 12H cents hundred
pounds.

President Roosevelt and Bellamy Storer
have been occupying great deal OF
newspaper space recently over the con-
troversy arising out of the dismissal of the
latter from his post of Ambassador to
Austria Hungary. Some interesting de-
velopments will no doubt transpire before
the scandal blows over. According to M.
Storer, his wife's efforts to have Arch
bishop Ireland elevated to a Cardinal
were made at President Roosevelt's in
stigation, Notwithstanding which Storer
was dismissed on account of them. The
President uses up 5000 words in denying
the allegation in strenuous manner and
electing the dismissed Ambassador to
membership in the Ananias club.

an annual appropriation of not less than
$50, 900, 900 for the improvement of rivers
and harbors. Several hundred delegates
have attended the meeting here and
addresses have been delivered by Speaker
Cannon and other prominent men, and
Vice President Fairbanks has attended
some of the sessions. The President
received the delegates to the convention
and expressed himself to them as heartily
in favor of any movement that looked to
the betterment of conditions in the great
waterways of the country, or of the open
ing of new ones to commerce.
~
The startling revelations of the
Wyoming land frauds threaten to involve
at least two United States Senators, prom
inent officials of the general land office
and other well known men. Millions Of
dollars are at stake and the Interstate
Commerce Commission has secured dur
ing its hearing of the cases testimony
enough to supply many great law suits,
but the most absorbing feature of the sit
uation to those whose interests are not
directly involved is with regard to Senator
Clark and Senator Warren, who are said
to be implicated in the coal land graft
which has resulted in the President rec.
ommending that the coal lands be per-
manently Withdrawn from settlement.
Senators Clark and Warren, particularly
the latter, have been held in high regard
in Washington and the announcement
that they were involved in the land scan
dial has been unwillingly accepted by
many of their fellow Senators and friends
outside. When the rumor first became
public prominent Senator threw up his
hands and exclaimed, Great Heavens,
what is the Senate coming to anyway.
Pretty soon it will be looked upon as
disgrace to be in the Senate and people
will avoid speaking to Senator on the
street for fear of being liable to the de-
duction that birds of a feather flock
together" More optimistic people
though do not take the despairing view
of the prominent Senator. They declare
that the Senate is no worse thai it
always was, and that in fact it is really
better, but that it is harder for dishonest
man to escape or hide these days.

Secretary Bonaparte in his annual re-
port to Congress advises the construction
of two great battleships as formidable as
those possessed by any power in the
world, to cost about ten millions of dollars
each. He wants these two monster ships
in addition to the big battleship author
lied at the last session of Congress. He
also recommends the more rapid promo
ton of junior officers, and the establish
ment of a reserve list, composed of large
force of seamen to be held in readiness
for emergency and to be added to the
navy at the outbreak of war. He also
believes that there should be a general
increase of salaries in the civil list in
order that the Navy department may
keep its efficient clerks instead of having
them lured away by the offers of better
salaries in other employments.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

1t is demonstrated this early in the ses-
sion that a ship subsidy bill will be pass
ed, not perhaps the general subsidy out
lined in Secretary Roots memorable
speech at Kansas City but subsidy con-
fined strictly to ships plying between the
United States and South American ports
and the Philippines. Such subsidy will
answer for an opening wedge and if the
experiment shall prove eficacious in
reviving the American merchant marine
it can be.extended to cover other routes.

That the situation as regards strained
relations with Japan is not serious and
that the President is satisfied that the
trouble has been at least temporarily adj
justed is evidenced by the departure of
Secretary Root for New York Thursday
The effect of the Presidents message has
been most satisfactory so far as the little
laps are concerned and Viscount Aoki
who is Ambassador from the Flowery
Kingdom made special call at the White
House to thank the President for his
cordial words about Japan and to assure
him in his polished Japanese manner that
Japan entertains no less hattering regard
for the United States. In spite of official
denials from the White House and from
the Departments it is nevertheless per-
sistently rumored that new treaty had
been negotiated with Japan which pro-
vided for the exclusion of Japanese coolies
from the United States. If there is no
such treaty under advisement at least
there is an agreement that will take the
place of a:formal treaty and by which the
Japanese will be restrained from sending
coolies into this country. 1t is we'll
known that the Japanese will not consider
this exclusion hardship for they prefer
to bring about increased immigration to
Korea and Manchuria by sending the
coolies there rather than having them go
to the United States. Senator Perkins of
California has had several long interviews
with the President since the message was
delivered to Congress and since the part
relating to the California trouble caused
such stir among California Representa-
tives and Senators. AS result of these
interviews the ruffled feelings of the Cal
ifornians have been smoothed out, for
Senator Perkins has explained that the
Presidents reference to. his intention to
use military force if necessary was meant
to apply only to an instance where Jap
anese protected by treaty rights were
threatened with physical violence.

AS was to be expected the dismissal of
the negro troops was promptly taken up
by Congress and before twenty-four hours
had passed Senator Penrose had intro
duced resolution criticizing the Presi-
dents action in the matter and was fol
lowed by Senator Foraker, who thought
that Senator Penrose had not been severe
enough on the Chief Executive. Taking
the matter in his own hands he preferred
a resolution of more vigorous character
and one calling for full official informa
ton regarding the circumstances of the
discharge. After spirited attack OH the
policy of the President in which he said

charge a soldier where the dismissal car
ries punishment, without trial by court
martial" The resolution was passed by
the Senate. Senator Foraker declares
that he is not seeking to raise race
question and that the matter is not one of
color at ALL To his mind the whole army
is involved aud he asks dramatically,
"What is the use of Congress raising an
army if the President at one stroke could
disband it?"

Col. Benjamin Harris, editor of the
Sinton Herald, was in town Mon
day replenishing his Golfers from
advertisements carried by Beeville
merchants in his excellent paper.
Asked if he had yet succumbed to
the opportunities of Col. Lott for
funds to build the Rio Grande &
Northern railway, Col. Harris
denied all intention to finance the
enterprise. but admitted that ne
might possibly accept a mileage
book on the new road if it should
be built.-Beeville Bee.
Although we had intended Civ
ing the Colonel a lift" the gen.
tleman assured the editor recently
that he had perfected arrangement
with western capitalists IN fur
therance of his scheme to build the
road. which relieved us of any
possible drain upon our exchequer.
With his usual generosity and
urbanity, Col. Lott placed his
private car at the disposal of the
editor, including an annual pass. =

ination the boards have It within
their power to adopt minimum
values, even to the extent of the
ridiculous, as compared to the val
uations of the State Board. In
this way the Jefferson County
equalizers can fix any small sum
they see fit as covering the intan-
gible values, but will be advised
that 1t is not within their power to
refuse to give the property some
valuation. The Assessor has placed
it on rolls, as required by law, and
it must have valuation of some
kind.
When the State Tax Board COM
pleted It's labors and reported that
it had found intangible values in
the State of the corporations emu
meTated II the State aggregat-
ing a rise of S161, 900, 900 it i'm
mediately ascertained the amount
of taxes such values should
bring to the State, county and
school fund. The total to be de-
rived from the amount mentioned
would be approximately s., $780,
900, of which amount $500, 900
would go to the depleted general
revenue fund and the remaining
$3.50, 900 would be the share OF
counties and indepent school dis
tricts in Texas. When the taxes
have been paid, after the court re-
view, if it is favorable, the sums
given as taxes collectible will be
easily divided in two, since the
averages of valuations adopted are
so per cent, and may fall even be-
low that ratio.

THAT INTANGIBLE TAX
The Law Says IntangibIes Are to De Taken
Cosnizance Of EVENT. They are Small.

The following is from Austin,
and may be Of interest in this
county:
There is a diversity OF action in
the several counties over the State
in the disposition of the valuation
of intangible property as certified
by the State Tax Board. IN some
counties the valuations fixed by
the board were scaled down to one
third of their value, in others two
thirds prevailed, but only in few
cases, while the average was about
one-half of the amount sent down.
In one county, Jefferson, the entire
valuation was rejected and none at
all fixed, while two-thirds prevail
ed in the large county OF Bexar.
1t is barely possible that in some
few of the smaller counties the to-.
tails fixed by the board were adopt
ed for said counties. However,
the general tendency IS to cut the
values of the board and the average
will not go above so per cent of
the sum of S161 100000, which
was the grand total of intangible
values as established by the State
Tax Board, and which was appor-
toned to the various counties
throughout the State.
The action of Jefferson county
in rejecting the values and leaving
the property off the rolls will not
be upheld by the Comptroller or by
the Attorney General. Both Offices
have Investigated the Texas au-
thorities on the subject and
find that once the Tax Assessors
places the property or the rolls,
as was done in Jefferson Coun-
ty and as is required under
the intangible asset law, it IS
within the scope of the county
board of equalization to correct the
assessment and change the valua-
ton to what it deems a proper fig
ure, however large or small. But
that the authorities expressly hold
that no board of equalization can
refuse to place some valuation on
the rolls is the opinion in depart
ment circles. The strongest case
in substantiation of this position is
that of Davis VS.. Burnet, II Tex,
page 4, in which it cites with APP
proval the case of Galveston Coun-
ty VS.. Gas Company, 50 Tex. page
500.
This last is looked upon as quite
important at this juncture in view
of the sessions of the boards of
equalization over the State wherein
they are considering the question
of values, real and intangible.
Jefferson County's refusal might
be followed by some few other
counties, unless prompt advice IS
forthcoming from the Comptroller
and Attorney General, and when
the Jefferson County Commission
er's query is received here It will
be answered most promptly along
the lines indicated. Beaumont is
in Jefferson County and that coun-
ty has quite a large intangible val
uation to assess. Since the courts
can not regulate the assessment of
the county boards, except to say
that they are too high and, there
fore, void because OF such discrim-
