An Interesting Fact.
POLL TAX

Article Is of the Declaration Of
Rights of the State of Maryland,
adopted by the convention which as
sembled at Annapolis on May 8, 1867,
says, in part: THAT the levying of
taxes by the poll is grievuos and OPP
pressive and ought to be prohibited
This is most unusual declaration
for a state to make, for where poll
tax is levied las in most states) it is
a source of much revenue. But in
Maryland opposition to this
form of taxation had its inception IN
the very early days of the province.
j While it is true that about the year
1867 the Assembly laid it's first poll
tax upon both freemen and servants
and again in 1922 there was poll tax
of 20 shillings on negroes and "other
taxables" (Which, by the way, seems
to have been available for the sup
port of free schools), yet it was after
the Protestant Revolution of 1859 that
the incident occurred which reverbe-
rated down through the centuries I'M
til it eliminated in the adoption of the
Declaration above quoted.
Heretofore liberation in religious
matters, although creating much fric-
ton, seems to have been the adopted
policy of the province and it's govern
ors. But the first act of the Assem-
bly,, called by Governor Copley (the
first Royal Governor) was the estab-
lishment of the Church of England,
the Protestant Episcopal, as the "of-
fetal church" and every one was taxed
for it's support, whether he believed
in it's form of worship or not. The
rich and the poor paid the same
amount-a very unjust plan. The tax
had to be paid, regardless of crop
failures, at the rate of forty pounds
of tobacco per person. This tax, with
frequent additional levies for the
building of new churches, fence and
church yards, Tor the pay OF the min
listers and the maintenance of the
buildings, became very burdensome
and the law was evaded as. much as
possible. The taxpayers substituted
trash tobacco in place of good, and,
in fact, resorted to every SUI terfuge
to avoid full payment of this hated
and to some, unjust imposE. Only a
few of the people were Episcopalians.
The resentment of this unjust form
of taxation grew and although the
rate of levy was reduced to thirty
pounds per poll" the people demand
ed the repeal of law passed for the
benefit of the few at the expenst of
the majority.
This was the beginning of the end
of the poll tax in Maryland.

THE BOYS AND GIRLS
QUESTION BOX
They're So Simple That Anybody Can
- Ask Them

They're So Simple That Anybody Can
ASK Them
But Can. You, Answer. Them?
1. How far does dropped stone
fall in the first second?
2. What makes us feel hungry?
8. Why is it harder to walk up
hill than on level?
4. Why does soap bubble rise and
fall?
1. A falling body in each second
falls 80 feet. more than it did in the
second before so we might think at
first that the stone must fall about
as rapidly the first second as in the
second second. But if you will re-
member that 80 feet is the amount
of increase in the rate of falling at the
end of a second, but at the beginning
of the second the stone was not NOV
ing at all. Therefore, the average
rate of movement throughout the
second is midway between no move
ment at all and 80 feet-in other
words an average of 16 feet per Sec
ond. That is we find at the end of
the first second the stone has fallen
16 feet.
2. We eat and drink great many
things at meals and between meals
just because they are pleasant to our
taste and smell. But this is not real
hunger. The place where real hunger
is caused is not in the mouth or nose
or even in the stomach. Real hunger
is a. state of the blood. The blood is
continually using up its food material
and needs more. AS it passes through
the brain which is where we feel
everything, the brain finds the blood
has not sufficient food materials in it
and telegraphs that information to the
stomach and other parts of the body.
That is what makes us feel hungry.
8. When we walk on the level we
only have to overcome the resistance
of the air and the weight of our legs
as we lift them up and put them down.
But when we walk up hill it is said
it costs US twenty times as much ef-
fort as to walk at the same pace on
the level, because we are pulling, our
bodies away from the center of the
earth. That is we have to overcome
gravitation when we walk up hill.
4. Just for the same reason that
a. balloon filled with hot air rises. A
soap bubble is a small hot air balloon
and the air that fills it is warm air
from our lungs, which is so much
lighter than the air outside that it
goes up with force enough to carry
the weight of water that makes the
outside, or skin, of the soap bubble.
But this does not last very long, for
water is a very good conductor OF
heat and allows our warm breath to
escape and then the bubble becomes
as cool as the air around it and so
gravitation pulls it down to the earth.
The very early experiments in bal
looming were actually made with soap
bubbles.
