Decision in Savings Bank Deposit

In the Circuit Court of Carroll County.
Judge BrashearS handed down an impor-
tant decision affecting Savings Banks
throughout the State known as the Bank
Tax Case. The decision means that IN

Some months ago the Attorney Cen

land could be taxed under the Bank Tax
Law, independent of the tax OF one. quar-
ter of per cent which the Savings Banks
themselves paid to the State under the
law
The officials of the Savings Banks IN
the State of Maryland took issue with the
Attorney General. The Commissioners
of Carroll county attempted to impose the
tax on Mr.. Henry Eek, who resided in
that county. Mr.. Eek appealed from the
action of the Commissioners, and the case
was heard before Judge Brashears, in
Westminster.
Messrs. George R. Willis of the law firm
of Willis & Homer, and Arthur George
Brown represented all the Savings Banks
in Baltimore. Messrs. Willis and Brown
as well as the counsel for Mr.. Eek. de.
clared that the State had no right to i'm.
pose tax on individual depositors, mas
much as the Savings Banks paid the tax
of one-quarter of one per cent. to the
State under the existing law. Judge
Brashears in his opinion handed down
upheld the contention of the counsel for
the Baltimore Savings Banks and for Mr..
Eek.
The case, formerly known as Henry
Eek VS.. the County Commissioners of
Carroll County ETC., was argued in the
Circuit Court for Carroll county on Sep
TENDER 10 last
Only direct legislation, clearly express
ing an intention to subject such deposits
to further tax in addition to that impos-
ed by Section So will suffice to overthrow
the uniform and firmly established policy
OF this State in respect thereto.

and no class can suffer without some
injury resulting to all. The only safe
rule is the greatest good to the great
est number" Maryland is an agricult-
ura State, and must forever continue an
agricultural State
That is TO say, her greatest material
interests are those of agriculture The
soil Of Maryland is rich and productive
OF all of the leading agricultural products
and her climate is adapted to their
growth, and her situation on the sea-
board gives her cheap and easy trans
portation to foreign markets. Added to
which she has abundant and cheap State
and Interstate transportation to Balti-
more, Philadelphia, Washington and
New York. All of these considerations
enhance the agricultural importance of
the State. These are important infiu-
ences that should have great weight in
deciding the question Of how the voters
shonld cast their ballots in the coming
election.
While the leading interests of Maryland
is agricultural, no other important inter-
est in Maryland has ever suffered from
the dominance of the Democratic party.
The coal interest which is perhaps,
the next most important interest in the
State, has no complaint to make against
the Democratic party. That interest has
always been cared for and protected
under the Demo attic government and
so Of every other interest in the State.
| The only interest that has ever suffered
in this State has been the agricultural
interests, and that has suffered grievously
from Republican policy and Republican
government.
This seems to us to be a very conclu
sive reason why every farmer and every
man dependent upon the prosperity o
the farmer ought to vote the Democratic
ticket at the election.
The people are being oppressed every
where by the excessive high prices o
every necessity OF life in control Of the
tariff protection, and all of the neces
saries of life that the trusts control. ano
the only things that are sold at a reason
able price, are the farmers wheat ane
corn. The farmer neither wants no
needs tariff, because his products are
and must be sold in the open markets
What the people of Maryland impera
lively need is reduction of the price.
Of the necessaries of life, that have beel
artfullv and arbitrarily put on them by
the special interests in the election Of the
Republican ticket, because the Maryland
Republicans are stand patters. and The
people can neither expect or receive any
relief from them.

SILENCE THAT SPEAKS.

MesSys. Editors.
St. Louis. Mo. October 6.-Rear admir-
raj Schley, now dead and greatly honored
was at the height of his very distinguish
ed career dishonored as few Americans
have been. Those in the military and
naval service who resented the injustice
done him, like General Miles and Adml-
raj Dewey, were also affronted to their
faces and in manv ways made to feel the
insolence of Office.
All OF these men were Democrats. II
was their misfortune that after their brill.
ant public service was practically closed
there came to the presidency by accident
a Colonel of cowboy regiment who pro-
ceeded to appropriate to himself and his
associates most Of the glories OF little
war in which the favored cowboys and
their Colonel actually played an lnsignlfl..
cant part. To make heroes OF Wood and
Roosevelt it became necessary to destroy
or to bel,tle Schlev, Miles and Dewey.
In all the history ofthe presidency there
is no record of more shameful proceed
ing than that in which Theodore Roose-
welt, to bolster up the false glamour OF his
own trifling performances as a soldier,
sought with the aid of his mighty Office to
convict Schley OF treason and cowardice.
He did not do this in manly fashion. He
did it by insinuation and innuendo,
| coupled with characteristic buster. When
Miles and Dewey protested he heaped
humiliation and insult upon them.
We have had something like this in
comic opera. On the stage ships cooks
sometimes become Kings. Travelling
statesmen may marry the Emperor's daugh
ter and SO come to the throne. SHIP
wrecked sailors have been known to set
up as monIrchs in the cannbal islands.
But never before in real life did civilian,
clothed for few weeks in the regimentals
of a wild west show, suddenly become
Commander in Chief and begin bullying,
wigging and nose pulling among Lieuten-
ant Generals, Admirals and Rear Adml-
rails grown gray in the service,
The impudence and vanity and selfish
ness of it all were not its worst features.
| The worst of it was the personal mean
| ness which took refuge behind great
office and addressed language to subordi.
mates which no truly brave man would
use to one lower in rank even If guilt
were already established. The necessary
| silence of the men traduced and insulted
on that occasion speaks eloquently to-day
and always will so speak in defense of true
| worth and in reprobation OF ambition,
pride and arrogance, strutting their briei
day.
We sincerely applaud the just and gen.
erous words of President Taft and Score
tary of the Navy Meyer but they are far
more creditable to them than they are
necessary to the fame of the man who is
now beyond their hearing. On the dull
cold ears of death flattery falls in vain.
1t is for the living, however, to note the
| fact that Theodore Roosevelt's brutal
Judgment is reversed by his successor.

Always having at heart the needs of his

Matthias has invariably put forth his great
