SEEKING MARYLAND FARMERS.

There are not many abandon
ed farms in Maryland, probably
not twenty all told. But there
is a good deal of farmland in
this state that can be bought for
less than one half its actual value,
says the Baltimore American.
Western farmers are finding out
what tremendous land bargains
are to be picked up here, and as
has been indicated from time to
time there is a steady streak OF
farmers into this naturally bless
ed Chesapeake land, from Iowa,
Minnesota, the Dakotas and the
Northwestern section generally.
Recently a deal was closed
through the State immigration
Bureau with an Ohio man for a
tract of land in this county con-
tanning 1000 acres. The consld-
Grafton is $25, 900. Like much
of the Maryland soil this big
farm has had its virgin fertility
largely used up, but the land can
be made more productive than it
was before ever a white mans
plow touched it.
The Western purchaser, it IS
reported, will begin to build up
worn soil Immediately and not
only so, but will introduce labor
saving machinery to an extent
that it is not usually employed
in farming operations in this
state. The steam gang-ploW and
steam-drawn implements, gener-
ally, can only be used proftably
on large tillages. Here in Mary
land farming operations must
develop in two directly opposite
directions. Tracts must be cut
into small tilIages to be managed
by farmers who work themselves
and in this way solve the labor
problem, or they must be COM
bined into yet larger tillages, SO
that machinery may be more
generally employed and farming
be conducted in a wholesale way.

ONE EFFECT OF INDIRECT
TAXATION

In his inaugural address on
Monday Governor Dix spoke
strongly Of the growing extrava-
gance of government, which he
attributed in large part to the
system of indirect taxation.
During the past sixteen
years." Mr.. Dir said, those in
charge of the State government
have discovered and turned to
account many sources of indirect
taxation, whereby the attention
of the great mass of the people
has been directed from the fact
that our expenditures have been
growing out of all proportion to
our increase in population, re-
sources and wealth. "
If all revenues were raised by
direct taxation, every appropria-
ton made by a State Legislature
or by the Federal Congress would
appear upon the tax bills Of the
people. tits manifest that this
would tend toward public
economy. If, for example, Con-
gress had to send the tax collec-
tor around to the homes of the
people and collect So or $40 from
every family each year to pay
the pensions, it is safe to say
that the pension bill at this time
would not amount to more than
$3.50, 00O,000 1t is safe to say
that the pending bill to increase
the pension payments to $780,
OOO,O would have no chance of
enactment. Congress would not
dare to do it. Each family has
the same share of taxation to
pay that it would have to pay if
the tax collector came around
with the bills. But the people
under the system of indirect
taxation pay the bills almost
without being aware of it. Part
of the bills is paid whenever a
pound of sugar is bought, for
instance. The people of this
city pay annually from $500, 900
to 81, 900, 900 for pensions alone,
and do not stop to think about
it. There is a geat complaint
about the city tax of Baltimore
for the support of the city gov
eminent. The amount the
people of this city pay for the
support of the Federal Govern
ment and pensions is as great as
the city taxation upon real estate
And yet we hear no complaint
about Federal taxation, because
people pay it without knowing it.
The worst feature about
Federal taxation is that it falls

II May De Mass of Steel Some $3.50

Various conlectures have been made
from time TO time by biologists as to
the possible condition of the center of
the earth. One OF the most popular
impressions seems to be that the
earth's center, or core, is flaming
furnace, At meeting OF the Sells
biological association at The Hague
Professor Weichert asserted that his
studies of the varying velocity of
earthquake tremors passing through
the interior of the globe have led him
to the conclusion that the earth con-
sists of central core OF iron or steel,
about $3.50 miles in diameter, sur
rounded with stony shell $50 miles
IN thickness. Between the outer solid
rind and the inner layer of rock. cover
ing the metallic core, he thinks there
Is layer of liquid or plastic material,
lying little less than twenty miles
below the surface of the earth.
Men sometimes dream OF enormous
wealth stored deep IN the earth below
the reach OF miners. but experts now
aver that there is little or no ground
to believe that any valuable metallic
deposits lie very deep In the earth's
crust regardless of Professor We'll
chert's beliefs TO the contrary. Such
deposits. Il IL said, are made by under
ground waters. and owing to the pres
sure on the rocks at great depths the
waters are confined TO n shell near the
surface. With few exceptions ore de-
posits become too lean to repay work.
