Suffraglsts At Work.

Members of the legislative committee
of the woman suffrage party are busily
engaged in outlining plans for the pre-
liminary legislative work to be done
prior to the fall election. In fact, all the
suffrage organizations In the State are
preparing to wage vigorous campaign
in the interest of the suffrage movement
and to this end letters are being sent to
all the leading politicians of the state
asking them to define their position on
the suffrage propaganda. Practically all
the legislative candidates are being inter-
viewed and note made of their stand on
the question. This, they claim. will be
valuable to them In their work at the
polls on election day.
At the headquarters of the women's
suffrage party in Baltimore and that of
the Congressional Union for Worman
Suffrage, the entire Office forces are
sending out letters by the hundreds
seeking information from the various
legislative candidates. At present many
of the leading suffrage exponents are
engaged In campaign on the Eastern
Shore. where they have been lining up
the shore candidates and talking suffrage
to the residents of all the large towns.

Tax Values In Wet and Dry
Counties of maryland.

The report of the commission for the
revision of the taxation system of the
state of Maryland published in 1913 pre-
sents some very significant figures. A
study of these figures proves of tremen-
dous interest and has direct hearing upon
the question of Prohibition.
The total taxable basis of the counties
now dry in the stale of Maryland in 1900
was $74.92o, ,74o. This basis had increas-
ed by 1912 TO $I2o, o27,83I.
In the counties now wet-except Balti-
more county-the taxable basis for 1900
was $I2o, ,ooI, I26, while the basis for 1912
had increased to $2oo, o,552, $50.
The increased value in the dry counties
was 45. Io7, ,o8a. In the wet counties the
increased value was $7I,55I. .2a4.
The Significance of these figures is re-
vealed when the parcentages are taken,
for these figures show that the taxabe
basis has increased in the counties now
dry by 6o.2 per cent, while in the wet
counties the increase has been but 55.4
per cent.
The Significance of the figures above
given Is emphasized by the fact none of
the dry counties in Maryland has any
large cities and very few manufacturing
enterprises, while the wet countirs con-
tain the largest towns. namely, Cumber-
land, Hagerstown and Frederick. with
their large manufacturing industries and
heavy railroad mileage. In other words,
the rural sections of the dry counties have
been compelled to depend largely for their
increased taxable basis upon the enhanced
valne of farm lands due to improvement
and developement. This improvement
has come largely through increased
efficiency of the labor employed on the
farm, which has had the temptation to
drink taken away. Not only SO, bat
many farmers. instead of hanging around
the local saloons. spending much of their
money therein, have devoted their time
