TAXES MORE THAN EARNINGS

TAXES MORE THAN EARNINGS
In commenting on the necessity for
reductions in local taxation and for
a high class of administration ir
local government, John T. Flynn, in
recent article, points out that the
various government agencies in this
country draw more in taxation from
many kinds of business than the
owners get in dividends. He says:
1.-The business of local government
cost is the next step toward which
business must turn its attention
The federal tax cuts will amount tc
nothing unless this is done"
He shows that the per capita cost
of local government has nearly
trebled in the last L. years, although
neither wages in city departments
nor commodity prices have increas
ed in anywhere this proportion.
To illustrate the tax absorbing
proclivities of government, Mr.
Flynn points out that public utilities
are assessed nearly as much + PEI
annum for various taxes as they arc
allowed to pay in profits to thei'
owners. 1t might be added tina:
government has been collecting con
siderably more in taxes from rail
roads than they have been able tc
pay in profits to the owners.
AS to remedy, Mr.. Flynn says
"The trouble undoubtedly lies in the
Anticipated methods of running city
departments. There should be some
sort of reform in methods such as
has been inaugurated in federal de
partments through the Bureau OF
Efficiency. That bureau, for in
stance, found a department in
Washington employing $50 men tc
collect certain taxes, merely because
it used an antiquated system OF &C
counting. A modern bank. system
was installed and the force was re
duced to 80 men, thus saving $780,.
900 year in that one office.
This is what the cities need
Moreover they need some business
like method of supervising what is
called outlays-the sums expended
on local improvements. Countless
millions are wasted in this way
every year and the burden imposed
upon business is SO great that, ir
some cases, it means all the differ
ence between profit and loss.
This is job for the business
men, for in the end local taxes are
essentially a tax on business"
1t might be added that this is 6
job for all the people because every
truck driver, clerk, storekeeper,
banker, capitalist, man, woman anc
child ultimately pays in the cost of
living, all taxes which are assessed
against business.

A VEST POCKET ESSAY ON
MARYLAND

| Maryland is somtimes called the
Oyster State. This does not imply.
however, that the Marylanders are
oysterettes, and they certainly are
not dumb, as the nickname would
Indicate. Every native of the State
loves it dearly, but only it's adopted
sons and daughters appreciate it's
wonderful advantages, for this is
only possible by comparison. The
disadvantage of not being born in
7 Maryland is that one misses an
early training in politics, for that is
he second thing they start teaching
1 white baby boy. That grand old
song, Maryland, My Maryland,
| never fails to stir the emotions
whenever it is played or sung, but
| person who has never lived in Mary
land knows no more what it means
than Va tiny pickaninny knows OF
Heaven. II all the chickens, crabs,
oysters, fish and terrapin that are
| cooked "a la Maryland each year
were arranged on one huge platter,
the delicious odor would be-. SO
tempting and so far reaching that it
would cause rush to the State that
would make the Florida boom look
like picnic in small pox detention
camp. The solace provided by the
great tobacco fields of the State
encircles the globe, and is exceeded
MY by the cheer enjoyed by the
angels. Maryland raises as good
corn as any State in the Union, but
some of its critics intimate that it is
aot all fed to the hogs.
The Maryland plan for the pre-
vention of hog cholera is commend
ed to all owners of swine. Those
who use it will find it to be the only
dependable, smooth running, six
cylinder, inexpensive, easy riding
vehicle from which to view the
scenery along Sanitation Boulevard.
1t is in brief Don't feed your
hogs anything that might coatain
bones, rfnds or scraps OF pork.
Don't purchased any hogs unless
you know they are free of the in
lection. Do not permit hogs to run
at large.
Promptly and properly dispose OF
he carcass of all animals that may
die on your place. Ii your hogs
ire sick, do not delay, call a veter-
narnian at once. Ii no veterinarian
is available or if you know OF any
hat is not receiving attention, notify
that is not receive attention, nifty

James Wilson, Signer

AS a constructive statesman whose
political philosophy was based upon
confidence in the public, James
Wilson, Pennsylvania signer of the
Declaration of Independence, had no
equal in the Federal convention of
1887. The one hundred and tiftieth
anniversary of the signing of the
famous document will be celebrat-
ed by the Sesqui-Centennial Inter-
national Exposition in Philadelphia
from June l to December l.
In striving for such provisions as
would best guarantee a government
by the people he favored the fol-
lowing measures: Independence of
he executive, legislative and judi
'ial departments; the supremacy of
the Federal Government over the
state governments, and the election
of senators as well as representa-
tives by the people, He was oppos-
ed to the election of the President or
the judges by Congress.
James Wilson was Scotchman
and received most of his training
for his subsequent services as
statesman and jurist in his native
country. He was born in St.
Andrews, Scotland, in 1742, and
studied successfully at Glasgow, St.
Andrews and Edinburgh. Then he
emigrated to America and became
employed as tutor in college and
academy, A little later he began
the study of law in the Office OF

Paul Winchester, political writer,
sums up the Republican Senatorial
situation in Maryland in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
'At the present time the indlca-
lions are that Senator Weller will
have easy work to win his renom-
nation, in September. Whatever
chance his opponents might have had
to defeat him, was thrown away
when they took up John Philip
>Hill as their candidate to oppose
him-for the truth is, the Third
District Congressman is not taken
seriously in any part of the State,
even in his own party, except by a
few people in East Baltimore-and
there is every reason to believe that
they have gone over to Mr.. Weller
as the best hope to gain what they
want. Mr.. Hill is rarely ever
heard of, and his candidacy is really
looked upon as joke, not only by
Democrats, but by the great mass OF
his own party, even by those few
who are supposed to be enlisted in
his cause, because they are hostile to
Mr.. Weller"

John Dickinson. He practised with
great success in Reading, Carlisle
and Annapolis, after which he re-
turned to Philadelphia where he re-
manned for the rest of his life
In May, IT'S, Wilson became a
member of the Continental Congress.
During the same month he received
a commission as colonel, raised
battalion of troops in his country
and for short time in 1776 he took
part in the New Jersey campaign.
His principal labors during 1776
and 1877, however, were within
Congress. He wrote and published
his sentiments concerning the Colon
ial independence with great freedom
and holiness.
In September, 1877, the political
faction which had opposed indepen-
.dence again came into power, and
Wilson was kept out of Congress
until the close of the war He was
back again however in 1888 and
17S5-17S6, and, advocating a sound
currency, labored in cooperation
with Robert Morris to direct the
financial policy of the Confederation
James Wilson aided in drafting
the Constitution of the United States
and was member of the convention
OF Pennsylvania. In 1889 he was
appointed a Judge of the United
States Supreme Court in which
capacity he served until death, at
Edenton, S. c., in 1898.

BEWARE OF STRAY DOGS

Beware of stray dogs. See that
they are impounded in some safe
place where they will have proper
care. Don't fondle sick animals.
If your dogs or horses or other
animals on your place are sick get
the nearest veterinarian to admin
lister treatment or to advise you as
to what should be done with them
This is the advice of DR.. G. w. G.
Rohrer, Chief of the Pasteur Divi-
sion of the State Department OF
Health. 1t was given with the idea
IF securing the cooperation OF the
State in checking the spread OF
rabies-or hydrophobia as it is
called-among animals, and of pro-
tecting human beings from one OF
the most fatal and most frightful
diseases.
In the last five years there has
been an alarming increase in the
number of persons bitten by mad
dogs or by other rabid animals.
The number given the Pasteur treat
ment in 1925 was 183-more than
twice as many as in any previous
year.
From 1911 to 1925 there were
seven deaths from rabies in the
State. Four of these occurred in
1925; two in 1915, and one in 1911
Dogs and children seem naturally
to associate with each other" said
DR.. Rohrer, but children as well as
grown-ups should be taught to give
a stray dog a wide berth. Very
often the owners of sick animals
have endangered their own lives ir
attempting to relieve the suffering OF
their pets. All persons who handle
sick animals should be especially
careful not to come in contact with
the saliva or any of the secretions
of such animals. And anybody who
has been in contact with sick
animal should have any scratches or
lbrasions of the skin as carefully
cauterized as though they had beer
bitten.
Dogs are not the only animals
that become mad. OF the sos per-
sons who applied for the Pasteur
treatment in 1925, 5S7 were bitten
by dogs; IL by cats; one by a rat
one by monkey; the rest had to
have protective treatment because
they had been in contact with
rabies"
It is interesting and significant,
DR.. Rohrer said, that not one of the
four persons who died from rabies
IN 1928 had applied for treatment.
and that not one of the persons who
took the treatment developed the
disease.
The Pasteur treatment consists OF
twenty-one NEGOTIATIONS, one each
day. Before the methods now in
use were developed, it was necessary
for persons to travel to Baltimore to
be treated. Now the material used
is available to all physicians; and
person bitten or otherwise exposed
to rabies can be treated at home by
his or her family physician.

The subcommittee OF the Senate
Committee on Judiciary is about to
consider certain bills introduced by
members of the Senate providing for
the repeal of the Prohibition Amend
ment, and for attempted legalization
of intoxicating beer.
No legitimate objection can be Of
fered to any effort to secure the re-
peal of the Eighteenth Amendment.
Those citizens who believe prohibit
ton evil have right to advocate its
repeal. Bills to secure the so-called
modification" of prohibition by
legalizing the sale of beer OF the
same alcoholic content as the beer
generally sold in the United States
at the time the Prohibition Amend
ment was submitted and ratified are
essentially dishonest, because they
refuse to face the issue. The
modification that is being asked is
in fact nothing other than nullifica-
ton and is impossible. Such bills
can serve only as the vehicles OF
propaganda making more difficult
enforcement of the prohibition law.
