That the Allies have no hope for the

DIGS UP MILLIONS

That the State Tax Commission jr
the first year of its existence has dug
up and put on the books 13,64O,518 in
intangible property is in a table pre-
pared and given out by that body.
This does not include Baltimore counts
in which there was an increase of
about $6,000000 for Baltimore city.
These two political divisions are omit
ted from the table because each has a
special agent not under the supervis-
ion of the State Tax Commission.
whose duty it is to look after this
class of property and get it on the
books.
The table shows that there were
three counties in the State where the
County Commissioners failed to put
any intangibles-that is. the stocks
and bonds-on the books. These coun-
ties are Calvert. the poorest county IN
the State: Garrett and Worcester.

After Duck Police

The first steps toward the abolition
of the duck police along the Susque-

the Duck Gunners' Club of Cecil
county, held Monday night at Perry
vile, when a resolution was passed
urging the division of the fees used to
support these functionaries to the
State Game Warden's office. From the
enthusiasm and earnestness of those
present, the Club will be instrumental
in having what they believe useless
offices abolished.
AT the meeting it was said that the
license fees collected in Cecil county
amounted to about $1,000 annually,
and that this money is used at pres
ent to pay four duck policemen. who,

Consolidation for the mere sake of re-

But there is an even greater tempta-

CURRENT COMMENT
Gov. Mccall is Making Headway.

Gov. Mccall has shown during the last
week that he means to follow up his
inaugural recommendations with all the
energy he can command. The governor
is an experienced legislator; there is
nothing in the art of getting measures
on the statute book that he has not
learned long ago. He has had from the
outset no delusion concerning the amount
of opposition which his plans would
encounter, especially those connected
with the reorganization of various state
boards and commissions. That is why
he has desired to have the details worked
out and the measures brought forward
by legislative committee representing
the best brains and experience in both
the Senate and the House. In this the
governor appears to have scored an ini-
tial success.
Two things, however, must be kept
in mind if these plans for the reorgan-
ization of various state departments are
to secure public approval. In the first
place there is the danger of going too
far in the direction of consolidation.
Some OF our state boards already have
all they can do; they should not be
asked to take additional functions. Some
Others have too little to do but their
work is of special nature and cannot
well be handed over to some large de-
partment where it would be dealt with /
as minor task. Some others, again, |

Winooski, Jan. ls.-Emile Hill, the

with another of his countrymen Satur-
day evening is resting as comfortably
as can be expected. but he is not yet
out of danger. A cut in the back over
the spine about two and one-half inches
deep may prove fatal. 1t is yet too
soon TO determine the result of this
cut. Besides this wound, he received n
cut in the side about six inches long,
one in the abdomen about four inches
long, stab wound in the shoulder and
cut on the back of the head.

assailant, is in Jail awaiting trial. pend
