The recent statement of the financial condition of the state of New Jersey must be exceedingly attractive to its taxpayers. When it is remembered that of the $4,302,370.01 which was collected, nearly 78 percent came from railroads and business companies located in the state, and that out of the whole sum not a penny was directly contributed by the people, yet all of it was expended for their benefit. It is enough to make the taxpayers of other states look on their sister commonwealth with envy. The state is taking care of its vast interests, and, in addition thereto, has in the process of development a magnificent public highway system which now embraces one-third of the macadam roads in the United States. During the past year, out of every one hundred dollars, $22. was given to the taxpayers, $6.50 for education, $30. for charities and correction, $7. for militia, $6. for public roads, $5.50 for the courts, $2.50 for the soldiers, and $1.20 for agriculture. To raise this sum by direct taxation would require about 45 cents on the $100, or about twice the rate of Maryland’s state tax. The amount received from railroads and corporations alone equals about 30 cents on the $100, which is 7 cents higher than our state tax. It will thus be seen that the residents of New Jersey are particularly fortunate in having so many advantages without any corresponding cost to the taxpayers. While the many railroads that traverse its length and breadth stand a certain share of this amount, yet the bulk is contributed by foreign corporations which have incorporated under the broad provisions allowed by the laws of the state. While many of these enterprises are wildcat schemes, yet there are included in the list thousands of legitimate enterprises in which much Maryland capital is invested. The lesson to be learned from the above statements is very plain. Maryland has for years been hindered by an antiquated incorporation law. The Legislature of 1902, seeing the necessity of a change, appointed a commission to look into the matter and make such recommendations as it saw proper. This commission made a report during the latter part of the session of 1904, too late for the Legislature to take up the question in a practicable manner. It is understood that more liberal provisions are recommended so as to encourage local capital to incorporate at home. We do not recommend that the State give its sanction to uncertain enterprises, but it does seem as if some changes are needed when we constantly hear of Maryland capital going into other states to create a legal existence. All of this means a loss of money to our revenues, and no corresponding good inures. There is no more important legislation needed than a modern incorporation act, and this should be the early work of the session of 1906. CONVICTS AND THE PUBLIC ROADS. The public road question, next to the public schools, is the most interesting topic for our taxpayers, as the average man gets very little apparent benefit out of the annual contribution he makes to the public exchequer except from these two sources. Our schools have shown a decided improvement for the better, and it is no more than natural for us to want to keep peace with other progressive states in the way of internal improvements, which of coarse means the betterment of our highways. A number of states are working their convicts on their public roads. We called more especially attention to this in an article published some time ago. It was there shown that improvements could be made very much cheaper by means of the employment of criminals. It is not our purpose however to urge that they be brought in competition with paid labor. On the contrary, we know of no greater hardship than to have convict labor come in competition with the toil of the honest working man—in fact, it is putting a premium on crime. But no county, even with state aid, can afford to spend enough money each year on the public roads to satisfy the increasing demand of modern progress. We think that the county should spend as much money as it can afford, then let the balance of the labor be carried on by the inmates of our penal institutions. This would be better for the unfortunate perpetrators of crime as well as for the taxpayers. From statistics recently issued by the Tuberculosis Commission of Maryland, we learn that over fifty percent of the high mortality existing in reformatories is caused by pulmonary troubles. The close confinement nearly always brings on consumption, and even if the brain can stand the fearful strain, the body seldom comes forth with perfect health. To be allowed to work on the public roads at certain seasons of the year would mean much to these unfortunate creatures of humanity, whom society is trying to reform as well as punish. This humane view is but the reflection of the best sentiment which recognizes in everyone a fellow human being, whose position must always appeal to our highest and noblest impulses. So from the standpoints of economy and philanthropy, the wisdom of such action seems the proper solution of two vexatious questions that are always in the public mind. People want better roads, and there is always a desire to aid our fellow human beings, especially those who have not the moral courage to prevent them from becoming criminals. Couple the two together and the union will go a long way towards solving the two problems. ABOUT THE INAUGURAL BALL. Writing on “Our Inaugural Balls,” in the March Delineator, Catherine Frances Cavanagh concludes with this paragraph of advice: “To the thousands all over the country who read accounts o( the inaugural ball in their home paper, many with heart-burnings and envy of those who could and did attend, I would say: ‘Don't! It is not worth it!’ Itisamost public affair, which anvone who can pay the price of entrance may attend. Vou may go dressed to be seen and to see, and accomplish neither because of the great crush. Dancing is almost an impossibili ty. Do not let the plea of wishing to see the President be your excuse, either, for every new executive gives those who would wish him well the chance to do so at the White House during the week of his inauguration.” BUSINESS NOTICES.

If your baby is scrawny, Scott's Emulsion is what he wants. The healthy baby stores as fat what it does not need immediately for bone and muscle. Fat babies are happy; they do not cry; they are rich; their fat is laid up for time of need. They are happy because they are comfortable. The fat surrounds their little nerves and cushions them. When they are scrawny, those nerves are hurt at every other touch. They delight in Scott's Emulsion. It is as sweet as wholesome to them. Send for free sample. Be sure that this picture is on the wrapper of every bottle of Scott's Emulsion you buy. Dr. R. K. Robinson's Public Sale —OF VALUABLE — Personal Property.
