There are two classes of people
who get relief in the way of income
tax under the Fordney tax bill: The
person with an income between
$4,000 and $4,000, the exemption
being increased from $4,000 to
$4,000.
The allowance for dependent chill
dren is doubled and the person
whose income exceeds $4,000 a
year. There is no relief for the per-
son whose income is between $4,000
and $4,000. There will be nc
quarrel over the increase in the ex-
emption of the small income tax
payer, even though the motive for
making it may be solely in the ma
ture of political bid, but even this
concession is of no benefit to the
5,735,000 persons reported by the
Department of Labor to be out OF
work at this time.
AS the bill stands there is no rea
relief for anybody this year with the
practical certainty of a big defici
staring the government in the face
at the end of the fiscal year.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1921-08-26

Instead of producing scientific
tax bill to meet the requirements OF
government, Chairman Fordney has
produced only political bill with a
view of fooling the people into the
belief that the Republican party is
keeping its campaign promise to re-
duce taxes and is making a record OF
economy. What he is doing, accord
ing to the spokesman of his own
party, is producing a deficit which
the government will have to borrow
money to meet, and pass the debt
on with the hope that something will
turn up.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1921-08-26

In the Republican caucus on the
Fordney Tax Revision bill to fool
the people, President Harding's
newly assumed leadership in legis-
lation got severe jolt. The recon-
dations of the President, Secretary
Mellon and the majority of the Re-
publicans on the Ways and Means
Committee that the repeal OF the
excess profits taxes and the reduc-
ton of the higher surtaxes be made
retroactive to January / last, were
defeated by Republican insurgents
led by Congressman Mann, former
Republican floor leader, supported
by Congressman from the western
agricultural States.
Excess profits taxes, as is we'll
known, are not paid by the corpor-
alton but are passed on to the con-
sumner. For this year they have
been paid by the consumer for
seven months and are now in the
treasures of the corporations. IT
President Harding and his Secretary
of the Treasury and the reactionary
Republicans in the House could
have their way. in making the bill
retroactive with respect to these
taxes, the money SO collected could
have been passed out by the corpor-
ations in dividends. AS it is, assum-
ing that the bill passes in its pres
emit form, they will be paid into the
public treasury.

STATE ILIITERACY SHOWS
DECREASE.
Census OF 1920 Shows Total OF
"a, 439 Unable To Write.


64,4S9 Unable To Write.
There are 64,434 illiterate pei
sons 10 years old and over in Mary
land, s'illiterate" meaning unable to
write, according to the 1920 census.
OF this number 1884 are native
whites of native parentage, 1884 are
of foreign or mixed parentage and
1855 are of foreign birth. The
number of illiterate negroes is
35,4O4.
In the total population 10 years
of age and over the percentage OF
illiteracy is Sc, which shows di-
intuition since 1910, when it was
7.O3. In the case of the negroes
the percentage declined from 23.4
to 1872 and in the case of the native
white of native parentage from to
2. There is more illiteracy in the
rural districts of the State than in
the cities, the percentages being IA
for the rural population and 4 fol
urban.
By counties the percentage OF
illiteracy ranges from 1872 in St.
Mary's county to S.S in Allegany
county.
Infants or children under IS years
old make up one-third of the popu-
lation of Maryland, while 1S2,147
children between and 13 years old
are recorded by the census as at
tending school. The population Of
Maryland is SS1 per cent. white and
1863 per cent. negro. IN 1910 the
negro percentage was 17.9, about
one-fourth of the white population
of the State of foreign birth or
foreign parentage, there being
1O2,177 foreign-born whites and
143,2O3 native whites who had for
eign-born parents. There are $685.

THE. r. R. SITUATION IN A
NTJTSHEII.

NO10lELlA
Here are two interesting items in
the days news:
The Senate Committee on Inter
state Commerce has favOrably re-
ported the bill to let the railroads
have an additional $500, 00O, 600.
Iowa farmers are attempting to
mature the largest corn crop in the
history of the state, with no pros
pect of a market, and Minnesota
farmers are preparing to burn their
corn this winter instead of buying
coal, farmers recently told the In
terstate Commerce Commission in
it's investigation of freight rates on
grain and hay.
Here is a brief history of the. deal
ings of the railroads with the gov
eminent recently, which throws
light on the two news items quoted,
as recited by Representative Hardy
(Dem., Tex.,) on the floor of the
House:
He (Mr. .Fordney) says, and the
other gentlemen who interrupted
him said, and perhaps correctly.
that the Government administration
of railroad affairs under Mr.. Nc
Adoo and his successor cost this Gov
eminent million dollars a day by
way of deficit. I am willing to
grant that. Then want to say
that during that time the railroads
did function and carry freight. I
want to say further that under the
Republican bill, known as the sEsch-
Cummins bill, those railroads were
turned back to the private owners
and operated by the private owners
in March, and that since that time
the rates have been increased, as
stated by my colleague (Mr. Garner)
or the gentleman from Virginia Mr..
Moore), from 20 to 40 per cent,
and today the people of the United
States are paying not 500 ,000, 900
a day, but, as said, they are paying
more than SOC, 100000 a year in
increased freight rates, and no man
can escape the fact that the rail
roads since Government control
have cost the people of America far
more in freight rates alone than
they cost us in freight rates and
deficits during Government control.
The three pieces of legislation
which the Republican administra-
tion has insisted upon are:
The tariff bill, protecting the
manufacturer at the expense of agri-
culture and other Observation-Disclosures
The tax revision bill to relieve
the great corporations and profiteers
of excess and surtaxes.
The grant of $500, 100000 addi-
tional to the railroads which already
owe the Government $7S1,00O,O00.
This bill further required the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
permit the roads to fix such rates as
would enable them to earn " pei
cent net on their capital invested.
Under this requirement the roads
were given free hand to raise their
rates as high as they wanted to,
and they have raised them so high
that the traffic has been almost kill
ed. People will not use the roads If
they can help it. High freight rates
have become one of the biggest fac
tors in causing the stagnation of in
dustry. The effrontery Of the rail-
roads in raising rates and making
demands on the Government"
