NOT TAX DODGERS.

The promoters of the Baltimore an
nexation plan have endeavored tospread
the belief that most of the people living
in the suburbs of Baltimore are tax
dodgers. 1t has been said of them:
"they sleep in the country and make
their money in the city,"
1t is contended by those opposed to
annexation that more fitting phrase
would be: They sleep in the country
and make money for the city," A
great majority of the suburbanites are
hard working people. without whose
help many of the city's lines of bust
ness would languish sadly, and without
whose patronage the city stores would
find business very dull.
From the time the electric cars be-
gin running in the morning until after
8 O'Clock one may see crowds of work.
ers going to their daily toll in the city.
They do not look like tax dodgers.
Most of them are young men and wo-
men without whom the clty's Offices
and workshops would fare badly. After
the main rush of the working brigade is
over, one will see the shoppers in the
cars. and in the evening both workers
and shoppers make their way HON e
laden with bundles. Upon casting up
accounts at the end of the year, the
average suburbanites find they have
spent practically their whole income in
the CITY.
These people have located their
homes.in the suburbs because of the
cleaner and pleasanter surroundings
and because they could not afford to
own homes in the city, where four
room flat in convenient and respect
able location rents for from $50 to $40 a
month and the taxes and other expenses
are SO high that ownership of real es-
tate is practically prohibited to the
wage Garner. In many cases they have
paid small sum down on their homes
and are finishing the payments through
building associations, having balanced
their expenses to their incomes to a
nicely. Opponents of the annexation
scheme assert that it would be a gross
injustice to double their taxes without
their consent by simply placing them
under another jurisdiction.
There are few wealthy men who
reside in the county for a larger portion
of the year than they remain in the
city, and these quite naturally prefer
to pay their personal taxes, as they
legally should do, in the cheaper jurisdic-
ton. Most of them also pay heavy
taxes in the city. But if the saving in
taxes is sufficient consideration, in
these days of rapid transit they can
easily move on and escape annexation
while the poor man-must remain where
he is, unless sold out by the tax COL

THE SENATE'S DUTY MADE PLAIN

1t is just as well, perhaps, that the
proposal to put war tax of 81. so bale
on cotton was made and defeated in the
House in just the way it was done.
The whole country will regret the dis
play of sectionalism. regardless of the
merits of the tax proposed by Represen-
tative J. Hampton Moore. But it will
do good in that the disclosure of an in.
tolerable condition may be expected to
stiffen the determination of the Senate
to revise the bill to something like
reasonable and just terms The way
the Southern members flocked to the
support Of their special interests was
humiliating to the patriotic who have
been trying to persuade themselves the
ruling spirits in Congress have been
striving sincerely, if lamely, to promote
the welfare of the whole country. The
effect of the craftsmanship exposed on
Monday is to place upon the Senate
sole responsibility for rescuing US from
a tax bill monstrosity. In the end. it
is to be hoped, the bill will provide for
no excessive direct taxation and that
the levies made will bear not lnjuriously
upon the business of the nation. Indeed,
the sectionaism manifested In the
House imposes a stern duty upon the
Senate.
AS the bill now stands it will raise very
much less than the 81, 800, 900, 600 aimed
at by the Ways and Means Committee.
Ruinous impositions on some industries
have been eliminated; some unchang-
| ed will prove wreckers rather than
income producers. The bill is as
much as if not more of a hodge podge
than when it came from the committee.
Only general and very careful revision
will make it practical to the country. If
the Senate so amends the bill that it
will yield billion year IN a manner to
| infiict the minimum of injury on bust
ness it will perform a patriotic service
and the House no doubt will accept the
result of Its labors. Later on, if it be-
| comes necessary to increase direct tax
alton, the House may DE found in a
soberer mood. Then, possibly, the
Ways and Means Committee will ad-
dress itself to it's task in a national
rather than a sectional spirit. If it
does it will find the country back of it.
Nothing less than change of front by
the Southern Democrats will develop
the full might of the country for the
grim work ahead.

MEMORIAL SERVICES
Leo Weinberg, of Frederick, De.
livers Spirited Patriotic Grafton.


The ninth annual memorial services,
KItzmiller Aerie, No. 1888, Fraternal
Order of Eagles, were held Sunday
afternoon at the Maryland Theatre at
Kitzmiller. An elaborate program
was rendered most impressively.
Mr.. Leo Weinberg. of Frederick,
delivered the Grafton in masterful
manner, his patriotic expressions be-
ing received with profound attention,
the audience even rising to applause at
memorial services.
The eulogy was delivered by DR.. H.
P. Copeland
The departed members for whom
the memorial was held follow:
Archibald Lee, Jesse Hartley, Chas.
M. Wilson, Denis Eagan. John P.
MacAnally, Cleaver H. Pool, Stephen
A. Lake, Geo. W. Lipscomb, Albert
McRobie, Bud True.
At the conclusion of his spirited
patriotic address. Mr.. Weinberg said {:
1.-The supreme test of humanity has
come. The tate of nations is hanging
in the balance. Dynasties are a men
ace to liberty. No man has a right to
rule over another man without that
other mans consent. The United
States is now bearing the rainbow of
hope to the peoples of the earth-torn
from the stormcloud and flung to the
breeze. 1t stands like solemn tenn
pie, gorgeous fabric amid a world
on fire. The great game of destiny is
being played upon the vast table of
time and the grandest Redublic on earth
will soon lift up the gates of civilization,
shaping the world anew, dlnging the
tall spires of freedom to Heaven and
rising fallen humanity to the rising sun.
The boys in khaki are ready to fight for
freedom, not glory. to bot out the last
vestige of tyranny and remove forever
the curse of slavery, and the trampling
of their marching hosts will shake
palaces and thrones and release from
their captivity, the victims of despotism,
sprinkling their foreheads in Liberty's
name from the fountain of blood touch
ed by the finger of fame.
Men of America, Sons CT Mary
land, thou wilt not falter nor cover in
the dust, but inspired by the memory
of the founders of our government,
true to the traditions and the deals of
the nation, initiating the spirit of the
men of 81, when in response to the call
of President Lincoln they said; 1--WE
are coming, Father Abraham, six
hundred thousand strong" the sturdy.
stalwart, brave, manhood, of the
country will rise to the heights of
patriotic grandeur and glory, exclaim-
ing, we are coming, Father Woodrow,
ten hundred thousand strong Then
grand and perfect democracy will be
established on earth. the elevated brows
of Emperors will lose the impress OF
regalia, the slave will wear, his indi
viduallty free beside the masters, while
the ensigns of union in triumph unfurl-
ed, hush the tumult of war and give
peace to the world"

THE OPPORTUNITY.

The tasks which confront America
maYsbe~ arranged in a program after
this style: To beat the u boat, to or
ganize and maintain the food supply,
to mobilize financially and industrially
so that our superiority in money and
munitions shall be overwhelming, to
create an army which will back up the
Pershing advance guard. and finally to
take advantage Of the combination of
circumstances which, as The New Re-
public says, has given President Will
son and the United States a leverage
and presti5e of first-c class strategic i'm
portance. We are doing the first four
things. The situation IS such that
America is now called on to play a
major part in the politics of Eastern
Europe. Russia presents a picture of
what may be termed a new and be-
wildered democracy. And Russia re-
poses a confidence in America today
such as is given to no other nation.
1t is quite plain that Russia, as re-
presented by the vigorous forces which
overthrow the autocracy of the Ro-
manoffs, is actuated by the same mo-
tiyes, the same disinterested, inter
national spirit which the President has
proclaimed and on which we act. But
the Russian government does not func-
ton smoothly. 1t is indeed bewildered
and IN need of a steadying, friendly
hand. What more natural than that
the new Russia, fit partner in league
of honor" should turn to America. To
Russians, Poles. the submerged Slavs
of Austria Hungary, the President can
speak out OF common spirit. 1t is a
situation which holds out the highest
hopes. To fail to take advantage of it
is to repeat the laundering of German
diplomacy. There are psychological
factors in the equation which must be
appreciated and acted on. The right
kind of diplomacy and by that we
mean the American kind exemplfied by
John Hay and once more alive-will
solidify the Alliance of which we are a
part and at the same time weaken the
mid European empires whose people
listen for words of understanding from
the New World

A SOLDIERS DEPENDENTS FUND

In its recommendation that the Fed
eral Government should with the least
possible delay formulate a plan for the
creation and administration of fund
for the dependent families of soldiers
and sailors, a provision that should in a
measure supplement but not displace
the aid to be given by large employers
of labor, the report of the committee of
the United States Chamber of Com
merce marks an important step forward
in social legislation in this country. The
program outlined is in its main features
in line with what Great Britain has
found necessary in dealing with the
same problem.
1t is only logical that since the
liability to service has been made uni
versal the nation as whole should full
fill its full obligation to those upon
whom it lays the injunction to abandon
their ordinary avocations and to serve
the nation in its organized military and
other agencies. The draft involves as a
necessity, serious dislocation of in
dustry and of employment, and while
there is no lack of patriotic self
sacrifice on the part of the majority of
employers able to bear the burden, the
care of dependents created by the rails
ing or large armies is one that primarily
and properly rests upon the same
authority which summons the wage
earners to public service.
Pensions for the manned or the
widowed and orphaned do not meet the
requirements of!the present. And volun-
tary relief efforts are all too likely to
prove inadequate to the strain that is
going to be put upon them. We have
been tardy, In this country, in facing the
serious problems of social amelioration
