POST OFFICES PROSPER.

There was a record broken in the
postoffice department last week. The
postmaster general turned into the
treasury S22, 359, 100, the largest amount
for one quarter in the history of the
office. This was not so remarkable for
the department is growing all the time
and the receipts naturally increase.
But the amount exceeded the expendi-
lures by $l,800,815. This is record
sure enough. It indicates a good bust
ness administration and as a financial
index to the prosperity of the country
it is decidedly encouraging. Now that
the postoffice is making an effort to get
on even better business footing are
carefully weighing the mails and adj
justing railway payments to correspond,
there seems prospect of its becoming
actually a self supporting department.
This will be cheerful enough news to
the general public, but it has a rattle
ominous ring for the express companies,
telegraph and telephone companies and
others of great public utilities now run
at immense profit by private corpora
tons and whose constant claim has been
in the past that the government could
never do such work as they are doing
cheaply and at profit. Postal service
is about the cheapest great service the
public enjoys, and no one can say that
it is not about the best also. 1t is new
ertheless inferior to the postal services
OF England, Germany and France, for
it permits lot of capacious express
companies to skim the cream of the SER
vice and skin the people of the United
States.

about the method Of taxing franchises
and other matters which are coming up
from time TO time, some Of which are
now in the courts of Montgomery eoun-
ty.
It might be well, in view of all these
Considerations, for the Governor to con-
slider whether he should not take the mi
tiative and select several competent
lawyers and business men and request
them to study the subject and make a
report to the Legislature through him
next winter. There may be no author
ity of law to pay such a commission.
But if goodsservice Is done to the State
the Legislature would doubtless be will
ing to pay for it.
tits true that the subject is partially
covered in bill prepared by the Cor
porations Commission appointed by Gov
ernor Smith and which was introduced
in the Legislature at the last session,
but which failed of passage The enact
ment Of that voluminous and in many
respects most excellent measure seems
so uncertain that it might be best to
deal with the subject of taxation in a
separate and shorter bill Incorporated
nto the Code as part of Article 81. under
the title Revenue and Taxes"

A COMMISSION TO REVISE TAX
LAWS.

1t Is perfectly apparent from the pub
lie discussions that have been in pro-
gress from time to time that the tax
laws of Maryland should be subjected
to searching inquiry by competent
persons, with view to determine
whether general revision is or is not
necessary. 1t is eight months before the
General Assembly meets, and some
thing should be done during those
months Persons who have any ac-
duaintance with the conditions VIII oh
surround the Legislature while it is in
session can readily understand that if
any inquiry into the tax laws is to be
made, the work must be done and the
bill, if any, to be passed should be pre-
pared in advance. In 1886, when there
was general clamor throughout the
State for new assessment of property.
the Legislature authorized, by Chapter
48S of the acts of that, the appointment
by the Governor lof commission of
TOUR persons 10 prepare report on the
subject of taxation and to serve without
pay. The commission was composed of
Hon. John Prentiss Poe, Hon. James
Alfred Pearce and Prof. Ely, Of the
Hopkins. Judge McSherry was also
appointed member but he did not act.

REMITTANCES:
THURSDAY. MAY 80, 1907.
A SWEET LIFE CLOSED.

Shortly after noon Sunday the spirit
of Mrs. Ida Mckinley was called to the
God who gave it. The entire nation
learned to love Mrs. Mckinley because
of her worth as a woman and on account
of the devotion of her great husband
whom the nation so cherished. 1t SEEM
ed peculiarly sad that constant illness
should keep Mrs. Mckinley from shar-
ing in larger and more conspicuous
manner the high honors bestowed upon
him. During her husbands admins
tratlon as governor of Ohio Mrs.
Mckinley was debarred by illness from
appearing in public. When he entered
congress she accompanied him to Wash
ington. During her long illness her
husband was most devoted to her and
always planned for her pleasure and
comfort. While member of Congress
Governor of Ohio and President of the
United States he wrote the majority of
his speeches and did his work as much
as possible at desk in her room in or
der that he might be near her. When
the trip to the Pacific coast was planned
she was advised to remain in Washing
ton, but she did not wish to be separated
from her husband for such long period,
and she was allowed to be one of the
party. The excitement of the journey
caused her to become i'll, and she had
been more or less i'll since the assassin
alton of her distinguished husband, I'M
til death claimed her as its own ard
took the spirit from her frail body on
Monday afternoon. The death of Mrs.
Mckinley renews the precious memories
of her beloved and devoted husband and
causes a notion to weep afresh over
his unnatural and untimely death

4 SUBSCIBEK.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1907-05-30

sion was modified and introduced into
the Senate by Senator Thomas G.
Hayes and became the celebrated
Hayes Assessment bill, =" VIII ich was
enacted by the Legislature and vetoed
by the Governor. At the session of
1896 it was again introduced by Mr..
Bankard, of the House Of Delegates,
and, after radical changes had been
made, it was enacted, approved by
Gov. Lowndes, and is on the statute
books of the State to dav.
After the Bankard bill had been pass
ed by the Governor the late B. +. New
conner suggested certain supplementary
acts regulating the assessment and
taxation of securities. One of these
acts has been under discussion for some
time, and There is demand in some
quarters for its modification. At the
banquet of the Credit Mems Association
in Baltimore recently one of the speak
erS declared that ''it has been a great
drawback to Baltimore in getting cor
porations to come here, as the present
mode of taxation almost makes it pro-
hibitive for them to locate here I'm
der the existing law of Maryland stocks
of foreign corporations owned by a
citizen of this State ARE assessed and
valued at their actual value in the mar
ket, and those upon which no dividend
shall be actually paid shall not be valued
at all, and upon the valuation so made
the regular rate of taxation for State
purposes shall be paid, and there shall
also be paid upon such valuation 80
cents, and no more, on each 500 for
county, city and mininipal taxation. "
Under this law the stock of a companv
Incorporated in Delaware. New Jersey
or any State other than MARYLAND is
taxed now at as cents on the 500, while
the stock of company chartered under
the laws of Maryland, if held in Balti-
more, is taxed at more than four times
as great a rate. The reason that
caused Mr.. Newcomer to recommend
this discrimination was the fact that
in many States where the home Office
of company is located the whole capt.
tai stock is taxed, and if such is held
in Maryland was to be taxed at the full
rate here nothing would be left for the
owner. But result followed the en-
actment of the law which had not been
anticipated. In order to get the bene-
fit of the lower tax rate on their stock
it has become common practice for
Marylanders to go TO another State for
their charters, even when the entire
business of the company is to be trans
acted in this State
This Is one feature of the tax laws
that is thought to need consideration.
There has also been much recent dis
cussion of the methods Of valuation by
the State Tax Commissioner and the
right of appeal from his decisions.
