BACK TO THE FARM.

The States Bureau of Immigration
is being fl ,oded with applications Of
men aud women who are ready and
willing to leave the city of Baltimore
and 90 out on the farms of the state
to work provided they can be given
assurances that they can secure such
employment as will enable them to
provide for themselves and families.
The applicants at the office are being
told thst there are classes of country
work OPT for women where the
will have comfortable homes with
nourishins food and where their
surroundings will be of the highest
moral character. 1t is pointed gu
TO them that they could do well on
farm and earn LIVELIHOOD as the,
would be living in healthy rlacs
and under far better conditions thar
are those who are working under
unhealthy surroundings in factories
aud shops. Many Of those making
inquiries are ignorant Of existing con
ditions as to farms, still every sppli
cant was willing to go to work at
once and anxious to learn how to
work / how to live on the farm.
In Maryland there exist thousands
Of acres Of land awaiting tho sriivs
Of men to ill the soil.
The State Boarl wishes it 20 be
UNDER TODD that men, women ard
children over IA can all finally be
placed on farms where they can per-
form such labor as their physical
abilities will admit OF. In cases
where the me mbe,s of family desire
to remain together, there may be de-
lay sometimes In placing them, but
the State Board is confident Of 1olv-
ing this problem after a short and
reasonable time
Farm ers desiring to secure farm
labor should communicate with the

SOUTHERN nARyLANO Ro D.

New York capitalists have con-
scented to build the old Southern
Maryland road, now the Washing
ton, Potomac and Chesapeake liail-
way, which under its original charter
was to have run from Washington to
Point Lookout, but up TO this time
only portion has been built between
Brandywine and Mechanicsville and
is now termed a jerkwa'es line. The
promise has been made 10 complete
the line beginning at Washington
and extending to point near Poin,
Lookout.
A bill was introduced by Senator
Mudd, Of Charles, and others are to
follow by Senator Chesley, of ST.
Mary's, ami Delegate B.andford, Of
Prince Georges, authorizing the con-
struction.
The bill provides that the ceun',

TAX REFORM.

The Senate Finance Committee o.
the Maryland legislature has adopted
a favorable report on the Tax Re
form bill, hut acting under the gen.
eraI democ attic belief that @no good
can come out Of Nazarath," and nos
able to r, 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- tn, 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
il was shown that property was as
sessed in different parts Of the State,
fos State purposes at anywhere from
20 per cent to 100 per cent ant that
the present tax laws were a tumble OF
inconslstences, injustices and absurd
tiles, and it was to reme'iy 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
tremendous advantage to the State,
not only in greatly increasing the
taxable basis aud thus keeping down
the tax rate, but also 10 seeing to il
that tbs assessments were better
equalized so that much pI operty how
escaping It's just share Of taxation
would no longer escape, and other
properly now paying its full share or
more would hive a correspDndingly
lighter burden.

lulu Paper
FIGHT ON McCARN
is Being Waged by the
Supporters of Vice

In a recent issue of THE New
Freedom" +" a weekly paper publish
ed in Honolulu, in a two column
article on the first page, in COM
menting upon the indictment of
Gen. jeff McCarn of Nashville, now
U. S. district attorney at Hawaii,
for assault, it is sail:
Another Indictment
"While the fight on McCarn is
being made by the governor of the
territory and his parasites, and a
vigorors persecution waged against
him by the supporters of vice in the
territorial count, it seems that the
opposition to his policies have sue
cceded in bringing about an indict-
ment in the federal court. This
indictment is based evidently upon
the testimony of G. H Mcbride,
who is doubtless the most disreDut-
able member of the bar in Hawaii,
and gang of his nefarious associates
who acted in concert on the after
noon of May 5, for the purpose of
assaulting Mr.. McCarn.
TT is our opinion that there is
not man on the federal grand jury
who would believe Mcbride on oath.
The fight against McCarn is des'
perate one, and is being waged from
many different angles. A person
unfamiliar with conditions in this
territory, whether they be friends
or fees of McCarn, will agree that
he is not getting a square deal, but
that he is being bounded and per-
secuted by the upper and lower
crusts of society. We predict that
the last movement that has been
made in this matter will finally
work out in the interest Of McCarn' Is
policies. and it will be shown when
the public hears the testimony Gas
it has not heard it up to the present
time) that Mr.. McCarn will be
thoroughly vindicated and upheld
by the facts"
