Pearre the Migrate.
MeSsrs. Editors:

Why should any Republican,
save those who Mr.. Pearrs has
placed in Federal positions. vote
for himR What has he done for
the interest of the people for Fred
erick County, save and except the
sending of few worthless pack
ages of seed and answering 'let
ters" which cost him nothing. His
record in Congress will show a
blank. Who could think of more
humiliatiDg actions than that of
ingratitude toward those W b O
placed him in this responsible
position which he now occupies.
His entire career in Congress
seems to have consisted chiefly in
Introducing his notorious labor

have been done iu a State Legis-
lature, but never heard of in the
Congress of the United States,
and which was so obnoxious and
un-Re publican that the Stalwa 4

the House, saw in him a danger
Gus man and a demagogue and
threw him out Of the Judiciary
Committee, and also which Presi
dent Roosevelt in q recent letter
to Senator Knox repudiates in no
uncertain language.
Of recent years Mr.. Pearrs has
gone out of his way to belittle and

for years fought his fercest bat.

to such an extent that no self
respecting person could help re

this is by silently with holding

Ii Mr.. Pearre had been the safe
and sane man in and out of Con-

few years he was in office. no one
would have said ought against

leaders and workers, for no cause
whatever, hs has gone a step too

our votes, request him to throw
on the mantel which he has been
unJustly wearing and relsgate
him to private life.
We had far better have a safe
and sane Democrat in Congress-

that district and hus' II is the watch

Of course there is always another
side to all questions, and the Congress
sional fight is not an exception. The
First and Sixth Districts have sent
Republicans to Congress for MANY
year, and so has the Fifth. and under
II rmal conditIo' perhaps the same
thing wonld happen again. But there
ar strong indications that Pearre will
side IN by meag-r majority, if he
is not actually beaten by Lewis. and
that Jackson, unless he opens wide his
barrel and takes chances with the
Corrupt Practices Act, will have the
struggle OF his life in getting back, as
we have before stated and Mars Syd-

The Democrats are certain of Tai

chance to land Lewis and Covington.
If Smith should join the party there
would certainly be just cause for re-
joicing. II we can get out the vote
then there will be surprises for our Re-

Mr.. TAFT told the New Jersey
voters that assembled to greet him at
Trenton recently, that the Republican
party was not responsible for the great
numbers of workers who could find
no work to do. He said that the
trouble was due TO over production
But the over production was brought
about by the over encouragement of
improbable industries, aud the over
encouragement is due to the faulty
tariff system, and the tariff system is
the brag and boast of the Republican
party.

LIST PROPERTY AT FULL VALUE.
The commission regrets that ii 10 unable
to recommend measures that will further
directly relieve the taxpayers in cities and
towns. Under our New England system
for municipal government, each munich
pality determines how much shall be as
sessed each year for purely local expendi-
lures. II the amount is not assessed justly
and equitably, it is the fault OF their Of
fcials rather than Of the present system.
The chief cause OF inequity is lack Of uni I
formity in valuing taxable property. This
can only be corrected by listing each piece
OF property at its full value.
We believe that publicity would tend to
more uniform valuation and we suggest
that municipalities publish full inven-
tory OF listed property at least once in
five years.
DISSENTING REPORTS.
While the report is signed by the full
commission, there is note of explanation
that Commissioners White and Merrill
file statements OF their views upon such
questions az they are unable to agree with
their associates. Mr.. White disagrees with
his associates on the proposed ad valorem
system Of taxing railroads, saying:
"When the municipalities have taken
their tax on the physical property found
within their borders, and the State has
taken from the corporations what it deems
proper as tax upon the value of its fran
chise in form Of an income tax, it appears
to me that all the rights Of taxation have
been exhausted"
Mr.. White does not approve Of the pres
ent system Of tax on gross earnings, but
favors tax on the net income Of the pub
lie service corporations. He opposes the
creating Of public utilities commission,
believing that the railroad commissioners
joined with the board of State assessors
would serve ~ well.
Mr.. Merrill is not in favor Of exempting
stocks and bonds and money ct interest
from taxation. He is opposed to . change
in the present method Of taxing railroads
and desires the present system retained.
He is also opposed to tax on land values.
He fsvors reaching the wild lands BY
having the State take over the mainten-
ance Of schools, highways and other pub
lie works.

the legislature OF l9U7.
The result of our recommendations will
be a largely increased State revenue with
out depriving our cities and towns of any
of the present sources OF revenue.
We shall now consider under appropri-
ate headings the taxation OF certain clas-
SEES of property from which cities and
towns derive revenue for purely munich
pal purposes.
LIGHT, POWER, GAS AND WATER.
Electric light, heat and power coinpa-
MES and gas and water companies are taxed
locally in the municipality where their
property is located. Many Of them serve
several municipalities and as a result no
one board of assessors values them as
unit.
We, therefore, suggest that the board
which is to value public service corpora
lions shall determine the entire value
OF the property Of all such electric
light, heat and power companies, gas
and water companies as are located in
more than one municipality, and ap-
portion to each town such part OF the
entire value as they deem just for the
local taxation.
MONEY AT INTEREST.
The application OF the general pro-
perty tax to the form Of property vari-
ty", arights and credits,n .moneys and
Securities or ssmoney at interest, has
at ali times presented an almost un-
solvable problem. On theoretical
grounds the very proposition that such
property should be taxed at all has been
vigorously disputed, and in practise, a
satisfactory method Of leving the tax
has yet to be found.

the tax ON ssmoney at interest" would re-

STEVENS ACQUITTED

Deer Lodge, Mont, May 7.-This
evening brought to close the case of
the state against Dram Stevens, the
last of the four convicts tried for the
murder of Deputy Warden John Rob-
inson. About o'clock this evening
the court read its instructions to the
jury and the case was submitted with
out argument, and a little before 6
the jury returned a verdict of not
guilty.
Rollins and Comment, at the coro-
ner's inquest, identified Rock as one
of the parties who attacked Robinson,
but could not say who the other one
was, but in the trial before the dis
trict court they swore positively that
the other was not Stevens. Rock took
the stand and made a good witness
for Stevens, denying that Stevens had
any part in the plot. The defendant,
Stevens, was also on the stand and
told a pretty straight story.
