The New German Liberals.
From Public Opinion.

From Public Opinion
 The beginnings of a new liberal party in Germany are found in the coalition of the so-called national-socialists or nation- alists with the liberal union. It will he remembered that 1t was the nationalists who suffered most severely in the last election, but they are apparently undls- mayed by their utter defeat, Professors h.ommsen, von Liszt, and other leaders of the new movement claiming that 1t will shortly supplant all the other liberal parties even that now led by Richter. The aim and design of the new liberals Is set forth by Herr Earth, leader of the liberal union. in nls well-known organ, Die Nation, in which 1t Is declared that the day when the liberal .bourgeoisie find themselves fighting by the side of the Christian socialists in a common battle against reaction will be the beginning of the end Of the reactionary domination of Prussia and Germany"

New York, September 25.-At the Elm pire City track today Major Delmar, champion gelding, lowered his record of 2:00l4 to 200 .equalling the worlds record held by Lou Dillon.
 After a preliminary warming up, Major Delmar came out for the trial, he went around the first turn, broke, and came back At the second attempt he went away as steady as a clock and reached the quarter in SO1k . He flashed by the half mile pole in 59. Then the grand stand rose and cheered as the gallant horse flew around the top turn to the three-quarter pole in 1.29 and came home to the wire in 200. Major Delmar is a New York animal, bred and foaled, trained and owned in the Empire state.
 The run was made behind two pace making runners. one of them drawing a wlnd-break sulky In the 2;11 class Promise was the choice at even money.

some Intere~ting Figures Taken
from the Report OF the Au-
ditor of state.

Lansing, Dec. &c. The annual re-
port of Auditor General Powers con
tains a number of tables not contained
in former reports, showing salaries
and expenses Of various boards and IN
situations.
The receipts OF the state treasury
from all sources during the year were
s7,079, 1921; disbursements for all
purposes. S6,253, i4i.9l; balance at
close OF fiscal year. $3.453,sii.l4. De
linauent tax paid into the tax division
during the year was S6o2,55S.o4,
against $i07, 05s.66 the previous year.
The local taxes collected amount to
$40, 53+.s0. against S272,oOO.62 the
year previous.
The Inheritance tax law has been
the source of considerable revenue TO
the primary school fund, but as IL
now stands IL is contradictory and
cumbersome and many of Its provi-
sions have been variously Interpreted.
The opinion Is expressed that the
taxes collected from telegraph and
telephone companies are not at all
commensurate with their properties
and business In the state. 1t is sug-
gested that the law be so amended as
to provide for the payment by tele-
phone and telegraph companies OF a
tax equal in amount 10 AN average
rate upon their entire property within
this state.
The report shows the creation OF
new state boards, commissions and
institutions during the past ten years.
1t is remarked that many boards were
created with the understanding that
they would he self-supportng, and
that no appropriation would be re-
quired from the state for their con
tinued existence. This condition OBJ
tanned for the first few years, but eX-
perience shows that the time speed
lily comes when the Legislature is
asked for appropriations to enable
them TO cover larger fields of alleged
usefulness or for the actual support
Of immediate work in hand. A board
once established is difficult Of abolish
ment The creation of one or two
such boards by each succeeding legisla-
ture makes the aggregate expenditure
enormous in few years.
