with the exception of the British ambas-

MARYLAND TAX RATE
MAY REACH 80 CENTS
Highest in History of State Is In
dicated by Estimates
Just Made.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, February 2S.-Ac-
cording to estimates made by the f1nan-
cial officers of the state the tax rate viii
take a jump this year from q cents to
certainly not less than 30 cents. the
highest in the states history. Ever
should the various proposed revenue pro-
ducers be accepted, these would not re-
duce the rate appreciably. Never before
has there been such demand for as
sistance, and In nearly every instance
this is Of a character that cannot be
ignored.
All of the great state aid institutions
are clamoring for help. while the public
improvements under way are bound tC
be provided for. Among other appropria-
tions the legislature is called upon to
make are the -million-dollar road loan
that of $8OO,ON for the pauper insane
StU9, 600 for the state normal school. $40.
OGO per annum for the Maryland Agri-
cultural School, 81, 10000 for 4th Regi-
ment Armory, $4,000 for State Con-
sumptiye Hospital, $50 900 for Eltdowood
S1OOOOO addition for state oiled roads
100000 for the house of correction and
money that must be spent IN other dl-
rectfons.
Various means are now being consid-
cred to swell the income, but up to date
there is nothing tangible In sight. In
dustries that should bring in revenue,
like the oyster industry. are not even
self-suppordng, and there is no way OF
making them SO.

NAVY'S NEW POLICY.
Old Vessels Displaced as Receiving
Ships for Recruits.

The replacement Of three Of the his
toric old vessels Of the navy as receiving
ships by as many comparatively modern
vessels today marks the adoption of a
new policy in the navy in the treatment
of recruits. Instead of assembling these
men on ancient wooden hulks which serve
only as floating lodging houses, the re-
cruits hereafter will begin their naval
training from the very moment they step
aboard the big steel ships which now will
serve for their accommodation and train
Ing.
These ships win be kept in the best OF
condition. Although technically in re-
serve, they will be maintained in readi-
ness for sea service at twenty-four hours
notice, condition which can only gbe
maintained by the unceasing labor of the
recruits who will form temporary crews
Today's orders substitute the battleshir
Indiana for the old Lancaster as the re-
ceiving ship at the Philadelphia navy
yard; the cruiser Denver for the historic
independence at Mare Island, Cal, and
the scout cruiser Salem for the Wabash
of civil war fame at Boston.
The old retired vessels are to be ex-
amined by boards OF survey, whose re-
ports win determine their disposition.
Historical or patriotic societies possibly
may secure their assignment to them Tor
monumental purposes.

rich, and where then they become intoxi-
Gated under the inspiration Of something
stronger than their minds are able tO

Il agree that a university education
does not prevent man from making an
ass of himself. as the senator instanced
sisted on something that would shock
everybody that had sense and would not
give him a standing with even those who
did not have sense. and / agree there are
