which the guilty ones will be brought to
very unyielding justice. The Fish
and Game Association is made up of
prominent sportsmen of this city and
county, who are interested in furthering
the pleasures incident to decent hunting
and fishing, but they are strong as a
stone wall against both dynamiting and
illegal seining, and other means of
wholesale fish and game catching, espe-
cially when the supply is so far less than
the legitimate demand.

IN another column will be found some
details connected with the levy for
taxes for Frederick county made on
Wednesday last by the Board of County
Commissioners. 1t has been very
tedious and trying event for them and
the reduction of the tax rate for Freder-
lex county from S1.1o to 80 cents on
the s1oO, in the face of big decrease
in the taxable basis caused by the ex
emption of personal property, is credit
to the Board and speaks well for its pru-
dental and economical administration of
the affairs of the people.

On Tuesday last in Baltimore COM
mittee numbering over fifty prominent
citizens was organized in the interest Of
Mr.. Harrington for Governor. Mr..
Frank Furst was unanimously chosen
chairman and will have much to do with
guiding its destiny. Some very well
known men of affairs Of that city were
connected with this movement, and it is
further indicated that all are not one
sided in Baltimore when it comes to the
final vote in the primaries for the guber-
material nomination.

Mr.. W. Mines Maloy, for Attorney
General at the Democratic Primaries
this fall, accompanied by Brooke Lee,
son of Senator Blair Lee, were in Fred
erick on Friday last, and met quite a
number of the voters of this city. Mr.
Maloy has a very engaging personality,
and made quite an impression upon those
with whom he came in contact. Mr..
Lee of course represented his father. and
seemed to feel rather much pleased with
the situation here.

An event of particular interest in the
present gubernatorial campaign was the
decision by Congressman j. Charles
Li1thicum, former candidate for Gov
ernor who got out of the contest when
he found that conditions were not favor
able to his selection, to support Lee in
his fight against Harrington. At the
time when Mr.. Linthicum withdrew
from the contest it was stated that he
had had an interview with Mayor Pres
ton and Senator John Walter Smith re-
garding his chances 1t appeared that
the talk with Preston had more weight
with Mr.. Linthicum than that with
Smith, and hence his advocacy of Lee $
name. Without formal declaration of
points from Mr.. Linthicum it would ap.
pear on the surface that matters pertain.

more, where Mr.. Linthicum is heavy

COUNTY TAX RATE REDUCED
IL CENTS.

In the face of a slump of nearly
$2,000,000 in the taxable basis of the
county, the county commissioners in
special session yesterday afternoon
cut the county tax rate II cents on
the hundred dollars and fixed rate
of 80 cents as compared with a rate
of $1.1O for the past year. The re-
duction of the tax rate II cents meant
Il wholesale cutting and slashing in
the compilation of the levy.
+ The county and state tax rate COM
bined is now $1.30 13 on the 500 as
compared with a rate of $1.41 for
| 1914.
The basis for 1915 is $20,546,052.
The county school commissioners
! were given more than $1,000 less than
they asked. At the same time the
county commissioners, in making the
annual appropriation for the operation
of schools of the county, gave the
school commissioners lust what was
prescribed by law and levied three
cents on the 500 for the payment of
! the increased salaries of teachers,
which was provided for by law en-
acted during the Maryland Legisla-
, sioners will this year receive $115,-
229.60 for all purposes.
The appropriation for schools is di-
vided as follows:
For operation of schools of the
county 80 cents on the $1OO. For new
| buildings, 6 cents on the hundred dol
lars. And for the payment of the in
creased salaries cents. A total of
80 cents on the 500 was voted by the
county commissioners for the schools
of the county Thirty-six cents on the
500 is allowed the school commits
sioners for new school buildings and
for general operating expenses by law.
The three cents for salaries is also
cared for by law. Last year the coun-
| ty commissioners voted 81 cents for
schools of which amount 32 was for
general expenses and for new build
| ings.
One of the interesting features of
the entire proceedings is that of the
! S32S,O67.23 for which the county COM
missioners, levy the board of COM
missioners has but complete control
over about $4,000. In the miscellane-
Gus fund, which is composed o. at
torney salaries for the board and like
expenditures, and Montevue Hospital
| is included the commissioners has
supervision over the expenditure of
about $110,299.96.
The remaining $126,0O0 levied is dis
posed of entirely by provisions of
Maryland laws or are taken care of
| in some similar manner. AS a re-
suit the county commissioners of this
county are in the main helpless to
| absolutely control either the soaring
or cutting of the county tax rate.
| Figures and laws shown at the offices
| of the county commissioners yester-
day afternoon substantiated this.
The cut of the taxable basis of the
county is entirely due to the enforce
ment of the household furniture ex-
emption law and the law which fixes
the bank tax law at 81. These two
measures enacted at the last session
of the Maryland Legislature are re-
sponsible for this cut of nearly 81
100000. The basis of the county is
now below the thirty million mark.
The tax rates, county and state
combined for the past nine years, fol-
low and show the fluctuations of

STEEL TIES IMPRACTICABLE
b. & o. Spending Large Sums For
Wood and Ballast.

One of the factors now in the up
keep of the Baltimore and Ohio
trackage is the cost of ties and the
supplying of new ballast, both of
which items require the expenditure
of large sums during every fiscal
year. The company has repeatedly
tried steel ties for the replacement
of the wooden bed, but the new type
has proved neither economical nor
practical.
During the fiscal year, which will
end June 80, the Baltimore and Ohio
has renewed 100000 ties, each cost
ing IS cents. Several years ago these
same ties could be purchased for so
cents. During the past 10 years AGO.
600 tons of stone ballast have been
placed between the tracks.

MSS0S Editors.
| have read with interest your editor
ial in THE CITIZEN of June 18th on
the subject of New Constitutional Con-
vention in which you quote letter from
his Honor, Mayor Preston, of Balu
more, relative to the same subject. This
editorial is very good one and is prac
tically expressive of my sentiments in re-
gard to the need of a new Constitution
for the State of Maryland.
There can be doubt that we have in a
measure outgrown our Constitution. The
different amendments which have been
added to the Constitution from time to
time after having been submitted to the
people of the State for ratification are
never considered as fully as the same
would be by Constitutional Convention.
This is shown by the small number Of
votes which are generally polled for Or
against an amendment to the Constitu
ton.
While all this is true yet the consid-
Grafton of this matter is so serious in its
effect upon the State and the interests
allied thereto that it should be approach
ed intelligently and carefully, and if a
Constitutional Convention should be call
ed it should be composed of the very
highest and best type of citizens of our
State.
My experience as member of the
Board of State Aid and Charities for the
past four years has shown to my mind
conelusively that the Capitalization of
State authorities over educational and
charitable institutions receiving State aid
is absolutely essential if satisfactory re-
suits are to be obtained at reasonable
cost to the people.
By reason of a lack of proper provis.
ions in our present Constitution our sys-
TEN of State finances is unquestionably
Anticipated and not in accord with mod
ern or progressive business principles. If
all of our large firms or corporations
would conduct their finances upon the
same principle as our State now conducts
its financial operations few of them would
succeed.
Yours very traly,
EMORY L. CoBLENTz.
