Nature has been prodigal in It's
gifts to Southern Maryland, 1t has
natural teaaties not to be equalled
elsewhere and has a climate that is
not extreme and most fruitful soil,
however, one Of its greatest needs
agriculturallY is the well known lack
Of lime aud the State legislat re IL
being asked to vote money for The
purpose Of supplying this need by
establishing lime plants for grinding
up oyster she'll deposits. Whatever
this deficiency may be ia other paris
Of Southern Maryland, nature did
not so neglect Charlss county ana
there is an abundance Of lime avail

The Senate Finance Committee OF
the Maryland Iegis ature has adopted
favorable report on the Tax Re-
form bill, but acting under the gen
rral demnc ATTIC belief that @no good
can come ont of Nazarath," and not
able TO re sist the temptation to grab a
chunk OF pie, they refused TO allow
the Governor to name the members
Of the State Tax Board as was orgi
nal,y intende !, and its members, two
democrats and one republican, are
named in the bill
The bill TO- The creation ola State
tar Commission is the outcome Of
the recommendation OF the commits
sion previously appointed for the re-
vision Of the tax laws Of Maryland.
In the report filed by that commission
it was shown that property was as
sessed in different parts Of the STATE,
fof State purposes at anywhere from
20 per cent to 100 per cent ami that
the present tax laws were a jambIe OF
inconsistencies, injustices and absurd
tiles, aud it was to remeiy this chao-
tic condition. that the tax reform bill
was proposed.
With an able and industrious COM
mission 1t is generally believed that
that the proposed Law would be Of
tremend 1us advantage to the STATE,
not only in greatly increasing the
taxable basis and thus keeping down
the tax rate, but also 10 seeing TO it
that this assessments were better
equalized so that much property how
escaping Its just share Of tsxation
would no longer escape, and other
properly now paying its full shaie or
more would have a corresPondingly
lighter burden.
1t is generally admitted, however,
BY friends Of the bill that poor
commission, or merely roliliea
commission, whose members would
draw their salaries and do nothing
or use th,ir position to advance theii
own political fortunes, would be
worse than useless.

Washington.-The interstate COM
merce commission has issued an or

rates on G2 important mmodities
from Chicago and the Mississippi and

The petition on which these rate re-
ductions are based was filed by the
Colorado Manufacturers association,

were asked originally in all class

one hand and the Colorado common
points on the other and in rates on
15S groups Of commodities.
The commission ruled on the class
rates last June, but asked for a revi

Americans In London.

The good American does not feel q
stranger over here, and we regard
him As one Of our own family. But
why does he come? Not altogether be-
cause the call of a common heritage
impels him. not entirely drawn BY the
attractions, commercial. artistic, SO.
cial and natural, of London and Eng
land. He comes chiefly. perhaps. in
obedience to the historic sense which
Is innate in good Americans. Wher.
ever the historic sense may best be
satisfled-in Rome. Athens, Paris, Ma.
drid or Constantinople-.he the
American is found. He may win his
satisfaction in frenzied furry, with
guidebooks and binoculars, only half
digesting the glories that he scamps.
That Is the defeat OF his quality, the
consequences of the habits of life
which America has thrust upon its
sons. But the historic sense is there,
and, even unconsciously, your good
American is Its obedient slave.-Lon.
