several years she was unable to at
tend divine service and the sacraments
were administered to her at the house.

cal Improvement. Whereas that is
just what said system is NOT-by the
very argument of its defenders and
promoters. There, of course, can be,
and are, such improved LOCAL roads
for which adjacent property is proper
ly taxed in due proportion OF the
cost. That sort of work is being done
in various parts of this State, at the
option of the local beneficiaries. But
to carry such method, or principle,
into the financing Of a State "arterial
system" is to outrage every sense of
sound reasoning and equitable pro-
cedure.
We can hardly think such sugges-
tion will meet the approval of the
Maryland Legislature. In fact, such
suggestion would never have been
seriously offered were we not facing
the difficult problem of how to con-
tinue millions of dollars of appro-
priations without increasing the tax
rate. The people have, of course, a
perfect right to expend these millions
for public improvements. But in do
ing it, they should recognize that it
means increased taxation; and they
should further realize that such in
creased taxation must not he laid up
on a discriminatory, or class, prin-
ciple.
That would be, we think, not only
inequitable, but would doubtless
plunge us into litigation abundantly.
No, no, gentlemen, if you are going
on with these millions of appropria-
tions, try to do it without losing your
rierve or your head. You will need
both.
