Hail Does Damage.

A hail storm, covering width of
two miles, from Pleasant Valley, Wash
ington county to Burkittsville in the
Middletown valley, was experienced
Saturday afternoon. At Brownsville
the hail fell so. heavily that for time
it could be shoveled.
Josephus Harley's barn near Bruns-
ittsville was struck by lightning, but
the fire was entinguished before any
great damage was done by the flames.
Wheat and corn on the farm of D.
V. Stauffer tenanted by Charles 7.
Ahalt, was badly damaged. Crops on
the Duval farm, occupied by Richard
Everhart and the Shaffer farm, oc-
cupied by Charles Hemp, were also
badly damaged.
On the Harley place there was not
much hail, but severe storm was
felt. At its height flash of lightning
struck the gable end of the barn, run
ming down to shed and killing a
number of chickens.
The heroism of Miss Christine Har-
ley, Mr.. Harley's young daughter,
who worked with the men on the
place, despite the fact that it was rain
ing heavily, to put out the fire, aided
in preventing serious damage.
Washington county farmers report a
heavy loss as result of their corn
being damaged.

Will Gut Tax Basis.

A big slice will be cut from the tax
basis of Frederick county according
to estimates received from the offices
of the county commissioners yester-
day evening. 1t is estimated that this
cut will be almost $2,000,O00 which is
due entirely to the furniture 'exemp-
tion act and the cut from bank stock
assessment. Clerk Harman L. Gaver,
who has been working from early in
the morning until late at night on the
levy and basis predicted last evening
that the basis for the coming year
would be in the neighborhood of $780,
900 less than $30,000,000. The basis
for 1914 was $31,2S9, 725.
In spite of the fact that the basis
will be materially cut the county COM
missioners still hope to cut the rate
to 81 on the $100. The rate for 1914
was $1.1O. 1t was estimated yester-
day that the rate would be in the
neighborhood of the dollar mark for
1915.
The county commissioners will
meet today make the levy and fix the
tax rate for the county for the COM
ing year. There is likelihood that
the commissioners will go into ses-
sion at about IL o'clock. The indica-
tions are that the meeting will be a
lengthy one. The board has taken
no action on the amount that is to be
appropriated for the operation Of
schools of the county for the coming
year.
The county commissioners have in
many instances saved large sums Of
money over like appropriations made
last year for the same work. At the
same time however it will be neces-
sary for the commissioners to in
increase the appropriations for some
items.
For the past several months at in
tervals Clerk Gaver has begun wark
at his office as early at $50 o'clock.
For weeks he has been working as
late as and 10 o'clock.
The commissioners will open bids
on Saturday for supplies at ,Montevue
| for the next quarter.
Bids for the construction Of the
Brunswick -Petersville State aid road
will also be opened on Saturday by
the county commissioners. =

Frederick Fourth Richest City in
State.

Frederick is the fourth in rank
among the weathiest cities in Mary
land. The assessed valuation of all
property subject to ad valorem taxa
tion in Frederick is $6,4S5,O97. Fred
erick county is by the rule of thumb
the fourth weathjest county in the
state, if Baltimore city is excluded.
On the same principal Baltimore city
is the sixth in rank among the wealth.
lest cities in the country and Mary
land ranks fifteenth in this report
among the states.
These significant facts are displayed
in a 200-page monograph issued Thurs
day morning by the United States Cen
sus Bureau covering the results of a
special investigation of the assessed
valuation of property and amounts and
rates of levy in the United States from
1860 to 1912. This monograph has
been prepared in connection with the
decennial investigation to present in
advance part of the data to be in
cluded in the complete report of the
federal census of 1910 and to furnish
a convenient volume for reference for
the use of those interested especially
in the statistics of assessed valuations
and tax levies.
The report shows that during the
10 years elapsing between 1902 and
1912 the per cent of increase in as
sessed valuation of all property in
Maryland was 6S.7 per cent compared
with an average increase of 96.5 per
cent for the whole country, while the
per cent of the increase in assessed
valuation of real and personal pro-
perty and improvements in Maryland
during the same 10-year period was
1344 per cent compared with an aver
age increase of 96.3 per cent for the
entire country.
The only cities richer than Balti-
more in this respect are New York,
Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and
Cleveland in the order named.
The way in which the assessed val
uation of all property in Maryland
subject to ad valorem taxation has in
creased since the beginning of the
American Civil War is set forth as

CENSOR STATE GAME WARDEN.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Feb. 90, - The Central

Game Warden Hinshaw and his depu-
~, Ray MonPleasure. in resolutions
adopted. The resolutions state that
game birds have been neglected. that Il
sixty foot net was strung In the mill
pond and the fact was known to the
deputy, that the state game warden's
idea of spending thousands OF the Ii
censed sportsmen's money buying and
shipping game birds into the state
and turning them loose without proper
protectian while the birds already
nesting within the borders % the state
are suffering from the hook orm"
method used. The Central Heights
club has IL membership of seventy
three.
Sentiment is somewhat divided here
over the recommendation of State
Warden Hinshaw compelling fishermen
as well as hunters to secure license
before they can legally fish. The sup
porters of the game warden say that
they can see no reason shy fisher
man should not pay as well as a
hunter, that 1t takes as much to pro-
tect the fish as II does The birds. The
opponents think that IL such II law
was enacted it would hurt Clear Lake

fish and they would not care to pay the

many senators who were favorable to
it, in principle, are now backing up
and there is but little doubt the bill
will be defeated.
The house committee on roads and
highways will report for passage this
morning the "insurgent" road bill
which would do away with the state
highway commission, substitute n
single state highway engineer without
more than advisory authority, and
scatter the real power in matters of
road making to the county boards of
supervisors.
The bill was introduced by Johnston,
of Lucas. It was prepared. however, by
agreement among twenty seven men,
bers Of the house who were opposed to
the law in the form it was enacted by
the last general assembly.
Representatives of this self-ap-
pointed committee of twenty seven
controlled the meeting of the highways

and half of sharp debate they over
rode the efforts OF opponents of the bill
to hold it for further consideration or

to the floor of the house by vote of
16 to 10.

Des Moines. Feb. 20--The bill to
make all Iowa as dry as Sahara
desert came from the hands of the
enrolling committee today, having been
carefully transcribed and read for the
signatures. 1t must bear the names
of the president of the senate. the
speaker of the house, the secretary and
clerk and then the governor and sec
rotary of state-all of which will be APP
pended in due time. 1t will go to the
governor some time today.
There has been manifest just lit
tie nervousness about the bill. espec-
tally since the delegations started in
to so after the governor for a veto.
Quite number of callers on the gov
ernor yesterday urged that he do some
thing to stave it Off Mayor Mueller of
Davenport. for instance, arrived in the
city for one thing to see what might
be done. and had it in mind to see
if the repeal could not be put off until
later date: but he found that it has
gone too far. and the legislature hay
ing determined the political phases of
the question, it is all over.
Amendments in Discard.
The senate committee on temperance
matters has decided not to do anything
with the big batch of bills before it
relating to amendments to the mulct
law and plans for enforcing its pro-
visions and making it easier for a
town or county to go dry. until after
it is positively know the repeal bill is
law; then all the other bills will go
to the scrap heap in a bunch
Despite the general air of satisfac-
ton over the passage of the bill to get
the whole subject out of the way there
is manifest some doubt as to the wis
dom of the proceedings One senator
stated yesterday that if he dared do
it he could name half dozen of the
senator's who voted for the repeal who
privately will tell their friends they feel
a great mistake was made and there
are some who will insist that the cause
of prohibition has not been really
helped There has been no move for a

IHullCy WIS TefndTkeu upon yesterday
as significant of desire to back up at
least little ways.
Amendment Matters at Front.
Constitutional amendment matters
are still somewhat at the front in the
legislature.
The prohibitory amendment viii
probably get to n finish on Monday
when the house passes it. The amend
ment must go over for another ses-
sion
AS soon as this Is out of the way
the votes for women amendment will
be taken up. The attitude of the house
is not very clear. Two women spoke in
the house chamber yesterday against
giving the permission to women to vote
Mrs. Earl S. Cullums and Miss
Minnie Bronson. They were given at
tention. but probably no votes were
changed. Those favoring the amend
ment have made no speeches.
Then there is the amendment which
will provide for a general change in
the taxation system of the state so that
the state may be able to get all it's
revenue from the taxation OF public
utility property and corporations and
from fees and licenses and not be 70

tax. This passed the last session. 1t

The initiative and referendum amend
ment is lying dormant and il may not

adhere to representative form OF gov

take up this amendment and push 1t
thru.
Amendments looking to changes as
to the legislative sessions have received
, no consideration. The one to provide
that no sessions be held except once in
four wears was killed off in the house,
Also the resolution for an election ev-
