reforms you hope to accomplish:
without representative electorate

Governor Endorses Reforms.
In an address teeming with humor
and practical propositions. Governor
Mann drew alternately laughter and
prolonged applause from his audience
The executive declared that the whole
country is now in the midst of a revo-
luton in every department of life,
which extended from the government
itself to business, for the proposed

upon the question of tax reform,

portant He told the meeting some
thing of the work of the tax COM
mission, whose patient effort Of two
years was undone by the legislature
and gave his auditors some rather
startling illustrations of the Unequal

for example, land is assessed at 1886
and just across the imagincry dividing
line of the adjoining county the as

the revenue from intangible property
in Maryland had increased in four

600, 600 when the assessment in thar
period had been reduced from 50 to
80 cents. The small tax. the gov

ture to the State and gains il greater
revenue, while the higher tax drives
it away and makes people break the
law by evasion.
