The Mary land State Farmers Ass".
cation held its closing session Saturday,
and in the afternoon adjourned until
next January. DIR. L. Tracey Bishop, of
Washington COUNT, delivered a highly
humorous ard entertaining lecture i'll the
morning Oh Parasites -
Among the parasites cataiogued by
the doctor were tramps, criminals, able
bodied pensioners, preachers, shyster
lawyers. Incompetent doctors, members
of the Legislature and Congressman.
DR.. Robinson asked if a gag law"
would not be in order, and a rule was
passed limiting debate to live minutes,
hut it WAS not very strictly enforced.
The special order OF the day, Mr.. Dew
ries' resolution to list property, was then
taken up aud discussed at length.
LISTING OF PROPERTY.
President Stake explained that under
the present system an army of assessors
is kept at work valuing property wLieh
has greatly deprecated since the last
general assessment, 16 years ago. The
listing system, now in use in many
states, requires each owner to fill out a
blank and swear to its contents. The
system has been in use in Pennsy Ivania
since 1855, and was recommended for
New York by Governor Hill.
Mr.. Harlan spoke OF A. & Abell's
50, 900, 900 worth OF securities, of which
only about $500, 600 was taxed. Mr..
Stabler spoke for the resolution. Mr..
Rogers thought listing would do but
little good.
