Herbert r. Wooden, Of Carroll county,
presented by request petition from
the citizens of Taneytown and vicinity,
addressed to the Governor, the SEN
ate and House OF Delegates in behalf
Of advanced and progressive legisla-
tive ideas. The petition was adopted
at public meeting at Taneytown at
which committee, consisting of Rev.
J.. p. Hafer, T. O. Garner, Rev. 5. r.
Downie and Charles 4. I'll. Shrlner,
was appointed to urge the. ideas ad-
vocated at the meeting. These ideas
cover elections, taxations, appropria-
tions, roads, health and morals.
The petitions ask that there be such
amendment OF laws pertaining to cleo
tions as shall result in a shorter and
simpler ballot, with regulations ap-
plying equally in all counties Of the
state, rendering it easy for the voter
to express his will, and affording him
the assurance that his ballot will
count; that the cost of elections be
reduced by the elimination of un-
necessary expenditures OF time, labor
and money in the preparation for
registration and elections; by the re-
duction Of time devoted to registra-
ton and by the reduction of the num-
Der of persons employed in conduct
ing elections; that the requirement
for the declaration Of intention on the
part Of persons coming into this state
be repealed.
A modification of laws as shall give
uniform method of levying taxes in
all counties Of the state il requested
The petition also asks that all prop
erty, real and personal, including in
vestments Of every kind and descrip-
ton, be made to bear its equitable
share of the burden of taxation, ex-
empting, however, property owned
and actually used for religious, char
table or educational purposes, and
exempting also such timber lands as
shall be held, developed and preserv-
ed by rules and regulations to be pre-
scribed by appropriate legislation.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8. (11 a. ND
The allies are steadily climbing the
ladder leading into Belgium, while
the Germans are consistently pushing
the ladder further away from their
own lines Of communication. At the
southern end Of Won kiuek's battle
front, that is at the bottom Of the lad
der, the allies are within twelve
miles Of the main railway that rush
through German lines back to Liese
and the chief German supply stations
at AK La ChappelIe and Cologne. But
at Arras where the advance army Of
the allies now rests, this distance has
been increased to thirty-two miles.
Arras is sixty miles nearer Belgium
than the bottom Of the ladder and
this represents the gain the allies
have made as the fourth week Of the
Aisne battle opens. The Germans,
however, have put an additional twen-
ty miles Of safety between their lines
of communication and the enemy,
which constitutes tho gain Of the
three weeks fighting for them. Both
sides, therefore, have made simul-
taneous advances against each other
along the same flank. This Is condi-
ton without precedent on large
scale in the history Of warfare.
Coupled with It is the further ex'
ceptionaI fact that the allies are con-
tinuing TO climb the ladder to Belgium,
while fighting Is proceeding on a num-
ber Of the runes. The most import.
