puBLIsn the SCHEDULES,

The bin recently introduced in the
Legislature by Delegate Ausherman,
Of Frederick County, curing every
railroad company to publish il scbed-
ules in the newspapers meets with
the general approval Of the people
all over the State
The railroad companies published
their schedules Of trains leaving and
arriving at various stations until
about three years ago Since it, dis
continuance the public has suffered a
great deal Of inconvenience. Sched-
ules are continuously being changed
and the travelling ublie have no way
of learning Of such changes except
time-tables, which are as a general
rule inconvenient TO obtain, especial
ly IN the country, where people live
miles and miles from the railroads.
The newspaper is the only medium
sue people have Of securing infor-
nation in regard to the general top
les Of the day and Of any changes
that may take place in the manage
ment or running of pub &c service
corporations.
Some time ago here in this
County the time of the arrival and
departure of the morning train south
and the afternoon train Dorth was
changed and the people here subject
ed to a great deal of inconvenience
and trouble, especially those re4iding
at a great distance from the railroad
stations.
There is no reason why the rail-
road eompaoies should not publish
their timetables in every section of
the country where their trains run.
When ii vas done several years ago
it proved to he most convenient TO
the people. The railroads receive
millions of dollars from the public
and derive large dividends from their
1t seems, therefore, that
regardless Of the law it would be as
little as they could do to inform the
public through the best medium-the
newspaper-of their schedules and
the changes in the same, from time to
time.
This measure is most commendabIe
and we can see no valid reason why
the Legislature should not pass it
without dissenting vote in either
branch.

The Democrats in the Legislature
are at their old tricks of tampering
with the election laws and trying to
perpetuate themselves in office rather
than to look after legislation bene-
fetal to the people. On Tuesday
Senator Gorman's bill depriying the
Republican Supervisors of the veto
power in the selection of election Of
ficials, given them under the present
law, was jammed through to a third
reading in the Senate after a two
hour discussion. Senators Wilkin-
son, Zihlman and Sproesser took is
sue with the advocates Of the meas
ure, bnt TO no avail, and the bill
passed to the third reading file with
practically a full Democratic vote.
The Democratic, politicians are CON
spicuous for their alertness to any
scheme that will tend to retain them
in power, realizing that to continue
in control Of the States affairs they
must rely on something other than
the popular will of the people,

We do not realize how well off
we are in the matter Of taxes says an
exchange, until we delye into the
records of the past If one turns
back to the days Of George III, he will
run across something uncommon in
taxes, for in the reign Of that monarch
things were at a white heat in the
matter of unjust imposition upon the
peoples strong box. The army aud
navy were in urgent need Of money,
and the chancellor was at his wits
end as TO how to produce He be-
thought himself Of the dead, and
gravely suggested a tax on collins,
which proposal recalls necessarily
the days when one could not be
born without inAicting tax upon
ones proud parents. For instance,
the birth Of an eldest son frequently
cost duke as much as $50. whereas
a eottager was peualizad to the ex-
tent Of only a couple Of shillings.
Verify, to be born with a silver spoon
10 your mouth cost money in those
days. Not only was there onee 81
tax on hairpowder, but Lair itself
has been called upon to pay its share
of the revenue. Boards were at
various times taxed in England.
Henry VIII issued a graduated levy
on boards which compelled the sher-
iff of Canterbury to pay 3 shiilings
and 4 pence for the privilege Of
wearing a beard, while Others were
forced to make payment common
surate with their rank and the length
OF their boards. Queen Elizabeth
changed all this, however, and fixed
the same sum for every beard Of
over a foFtnight's growth.

tends to fight woman suffrage, to get
all women off public boards, and, in

The following Is the proclamation
issued by President Taft on Monday
calling Ior the taking Of the census
Whereas, By the Act of Congress
approved July 2, 1909, the Thirteenth
Deeenniaf Census of the United States
is to be taken, beginning on the ff-
teenth day of April, nineteen hundred
and ten; and
Whereas, correct enumeration of
the population every ten years is re-
quired by the Constitution of the
United States for the purpose of deter
mining the representation of the sew
eral States in the House Of Represen-
tatives; and
Whereas, 1t is of the utmost i'm
portauce to the interests of all the peo-
pie of the United States that this CEN
sus should be a complete and accurate
report Of the population and resources
of the country
Now, therefore, 1, William Howard
Taft, President of the United States of
America, do hereby declare aud make
known that, under the act aforesaid, it
is the duty of every person to answer
all questions on the census schedules
applying to him and the family to
which he belongs, and to the farm oc-
cupied by him or his family, and that
any adult refusing to do so is subject
to penalty.
The sole purpose of the census is to
secure general statistical information
regarding the population and resources
of the country, and replies ar required
from individuals only in order to per-
nit the compilation of such general
statistics. The census has nothing to
do with taxation, with army or jury
service, with the compulsion Of school
attendance, with the regulation ofim-
migration, or with the enforcement Of
any national, state, or local law o. or
ninanee, nor can any person be harm
ed in any way by furnishing the infor-
nation required There need be no
fear that any diseosur will be made
regarding any individual person or his
affairs, For the due protection of the
rights and interests of the persons fur
nishing information every employee of
the Census Bureau is prohibited, under
heavy penalty, from disclosing any in
formation which may thus come to his
knowledge
!, therefore, earnestly urge upon all
persons to answer promptly, complete-
ly and accurately allinquiries addressed
to them by the enumerators OF other
employees of the Census Bureau, and
thereby to contribute their share to-
ward making this great and necessary
public undertaking a success.
In witness whereof, / hereunto set
my hand and the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
fifteenth day Of March, A. d., one
thousand nine hundred and ten, and Of
the Independence Of the United States
of America the one hundred and thir-
ty-fourth.

REGARDING rne CENSUS.

4 great increase in the accuracy Of
the census returns from the farmers,
a considerable saving Of the working
time Of the farm enumerators, and the
removal Of much Of whatever misap-
prehensions and prejudices may exist
among farmers with regard to the
census are the important results ex-
pected by the Uuited States Census
Bureau to follow the use Of the Advance
Farm Schedule, which has been adopt
ed and will be circulated, through the
rural postmasters, among the farmers
a short time before the actual census
taking.
The employment Of this advance
schedule is a distinct innovation in
census methods. 1t is the logical and
practical outcome of the Census Blu
reau's persistent effort for some time
past to give the farmers a clear and
comprehensive preliminary knowledge
Of the Farm Census questions and to
induce them to keep written records
Of their farm operations and equipment
in readiness for the call of the emu
msrators, beginning April Is next.
-Four million copies of the sch edule
will be printed, and the distribution
of them among farm owners and ten
ants viii be intrusted to the farm
euumerators soon after they ara COM
missioned, about April /.
Postmaster-General Hitchcock has
promised the assistance of his depart
ment in the effective distribution OF
the schedules, and he will issue instruc.
lions relative thereto to the rural
postmasters. They will be required
to address and forward to the farmer,
receiving mail at their offices the adj
vance farm schedules supplied them
by the enumerators.
In note to farmers on the front
page Of the schedule, Census Director
Durand states
Sin accordance with the act Of Con.
gress, tile census of the population and
farms of the United States will begin
on April Is, 1910. On or soou after
that date an enumerator will call at
your house for the purpose of obtaining
the required information concerning
your farm.
sMany of the questions which will
be asked yog concerning the equipment
and operations of your farm can not
be accurately answered by you without
considerable thought and the making
of careful calculations or estimates.
Therefore, this form has been sent to
you in advance, SO that you may study
the questions at your convenience and
have the answers written down before
the enumerator comes.
t'You are earnestly requested to
read this form and instructions care
fully, to write down the answers to all
questions that apply to your farm, and
to keep it until the enumerator comes.
By doiug this you can save yourself
much time and contribute greatly to
the success of the agricultural census.
"Besides the information concerning
your farm, the enumerator will also
ask you the names, ages, and other
facts concerning the members of your
household
