Provisions OF The New State Tax
Laws.

The new tax laws passed by the recent
Legislature will likely have far-reachine
effect on the basis for State taxes. APP
parently, real estate will have to bear adj
ditional burdens to make up for the eX-
emptions and reductions contained in the
new law, The only new sources of reve-
nue. appears to be through the taxation of
the assets of corporations, instead of their
shares, and even this may not always
produce more revenue; and fixing the rate
on securities at 45c.
Under the exemption of household fur
niture up to $500, thousands of persons
will pay no State tax. We see no real
justice in this, for an equitable taxation,
according to worth, Injuries nobody prop
erty of all kinds should be taxed, according
to our way of thinking, no matter by whom
held, nor in how small quantities. We give
below the essential features of the new
law
Preliminary legislation for changing
Art. is of the Declaration of Rights through
a constitutional amendment by which the
Legislature can enact laws providing for a
classification of property, as, to illustrate,
the separation of building from its site
and the taxation of each separately.
Taxing business corporations on their
assets instead of on their shares, as here
tofore.
Reduction of the bonus tax by which
the formation of corporations under do
nestle. instead of under laws of other
States. will be encouraged.
Exemption of manufactures, tools and
implements from State taxation,
Exemption Of county. town and city
bonds from taxation. By this law Balti-
more will save annually about $4,000.
Fixing Ascent tax on securities.
Statewide exemption on household fur
niture, with $500 as a maximum, from
taxation.
Reducing the tax on bank stock under
conditions to per cent. By this reduc-
ton it is claimed that there will be an in
crease in banking capital and in deposits
in order that the lending facilities of banks
may be increased.
Amending the Baltimore city charter
relating to the Appeals Court, by provid-
ing that assessments shall be made and
tax books shall be kept according to loca-
ton of property instead of alphabetically
according to names of owners. Other i'm
portant administrative changes we're made,
one of which makes all taxes. real and
personal in arrears on July l. Another
change abolshes the 3 per cent. penalty
and substitutes | per cent. rate, which
continues as long as the tax is unpaid.
The most constructive act of the legisla-
ture, however, was that creating the State
Tax Commission, which will have power
and Jurisdiction over local assessments for
State taxation.

ing, by DIR. Rucker. Assistant-Surgeon Gen
eral of the Public Health Service The
lecturer demonstrated by means of lantern
slides the methods Of infection by the

some Of the best means Of its extermina-
ton were by drainage. removal of all re-
ceptacles of fresh water from the premises.
the Oiling Of the surface Of ponds, and any
water in which they breed. The misquito In
its larva stage lives in water entirely sub
murged. except a small projection which
remains above the water that II may
breathe. By oiling the surface we take
away its supply Of air. and thereby exter-
inmate il and lessen the danger Of malaria.

 In four hours we got to Telleburg, an hour later to Malmo, Sweden. Here I bought a ticket for steamer of the Scandinavian-Ameri line. The agent had three left. Two more for tunate ones had a chance ofter me. They offered $1.o00 for ticket on the dock. It was claimed there were 3o,oo0 Swedes and Norwegians at the exposition in Christiania and Malmo. I had to sail from Malmo to Copenhagen we had to have a pilot to guide us through where mines were laid and the same towards Sweden and Norway.
 This boat was the last to go as the government would not allow coal to be used for the later steamers. They had to get the coal from England and they could not get it now.

POPE URGES WORLD TO PRAY FOR PEACE
 

AOOTcSScS EI
 pie to Pray That European War
 May Soon Be Settled.
 Rome, via London, Aug. 19 (1O:50 A. M.)-The Pope has addressed the following exhortation to the whole world:
 At this moment, when nearly the whole of Europe is being dragged into the vortex of a most terrible war, with it's present dangers and miseries and the consequences to follow, the very thought of which, must strike every one with grief and horror, we whose care is the life and welfare of so many citizens and peoples cannot but be deeply moved and our heart wrung with the bitterest sorrow. And in the midst of this universal confusion and peril we feel and know that both fatherly love and apostolic ministry demand of us that we should with all earnestness turn the thoughts of Christendom thither, whence cometh help-to Christ, the prince of peace and the most powerful mediator between God and man.
 We charge, therefore, the Catho- lies of the whole world to approach the throne of grace and mercy. each and all of them, and more especial ly the clergy, whose duty furthermore twill be to make in every parish, as their bishops shall direct, public SUD- plication so that the merciful God may, as it were. be wearied with the prayers of His children and speedily remove the evil causes of war, giving to them who rule to think the thoughts of peace and not of affliction.
