The Mortgage Tax.

The tax from the income of Mortgages
amounts to about 800, 1000 year, and is an
ever increasing source of revenue.
OF this tax one, fourth, or S25, 900, goes into
the State treasury, and $75, 900 is retained by
the counties and the City of Baltimore.
The total amount of mortgage income tax
collected in Carroll is about $4,000. OF this
sum 81 ,25O goes to the State and $3.50 into
the county treasury.
Should the mortgage tax be repealed by the
Legislature, as is proposed, the loss of the
mortgage income tax will mean an increase Of
about q cents in the tax rate of Carroll.
As there is likely to be an increase in the
State tax, an increase of 24 cents in the coun-
ty rate will make considerable addition to
tax bills.
These facts and figures should be considered
by Carrolls representatives in the Senate and
House.

HICKS FOR APRIL.

Rev, Hicks says April will be a
stormy month, with plenty rain,
hail and snow.
The storm period which will be
central with the full moon at the
close of March will extend iLto April.
Cold, aortherly winds, with frcst and
freezing nowthward, will follow about
the Ist to the 3rd, progressively trsm
west to east. Careful and impartial
observers must have discovered tina t
the Easter full moon is almost invar-
iably attended and followed by severe
and disagreeable squalls.
About the 4th to the 9th falls a re-
dictionary storm period, during which
time change to warmer, with more
storminess will be probable. Hail
storms will be most natural at all
the April disturbances.
The Vulcan storm period, cetral on
the 10th, will bring a series of pro-
nounced storms. The elimination oil
these storms will fall about Su pday
the 10th to Wednesday the 18th Rapid
change to quite cool will follow tAe
storms, but reaction to storm con
ditions will suddenly return and from
the 18th to the I7lh it will again be.
come very Warm and decided storms
of rain, hail and thunder will occur
s A regular Vulcan Venus perturba
ton will be central on tie 2ISt eX-
tending frsrn the 18th to 23rd. The
barometer will dcop low and the
temperature rise very high, as this
period p ogresses, resulting in many
vicious thunder and hsil storms on

that failed to pass any tax reform
measures at the last session will hardly
accomplish more at an extra session.
The same influence that controlled the
