Local roiler-slsatinG interests are In Il

the fact that he has challenged the

Donnelly Is likewise "sore" because
his name has been mentioned as the

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. March 4.-Among
the most important bills to be reported
back next week by the committee on
finance Is the racetrack commission
Lili. introduced by senator Frtck.
The committee has converted II into a
revenue measure. II will provide. among
other things, that all racing associations
must pay license OF 500 per day. u
has been suggested that a tax be plaocu
upon the gross receipts. Dut this Is not
acceptable for two reasons. IL wouid
have made the state a partner In the
business. which many believe undesir-
able, and would not have prohibited or
sanizat'o Ions operating for gain only a
small track from carrying ON the busl-
ness. 1t was therefore deemed best To
impose nrense, which at the rate
adopted will net the State 5000 year.
Senator Frick regards the license as
too low, and he II considering an
amendment increasing the license 10
sl.e0 The big associations would prob,
ably object TO this tax, but the small
ones would hardly be in position to
stand such an imposition. still, IL the
gross amount at the higher rate viii
equal the total that could be gotten
frcm q greater number. the 800 license
may be substituted.
The bill will provide for an unpaid
commission of three upon whom is con-
ferred the authority TO pass upon all
applications. They may. in their dis
cretion, turn down those who. IN their
Judgment. are not bona tide or whose
fairness Is questioned
FAIR associations will he excepted
from the provisions of the law, but the
commission must be satisfied that the
organizations are legitimate. These
may have running and trotting races
and the license VIII be normal.
