Apple Wood Valuable.

In a recent issue the use OF apple wood
to make handles for saws and other tools
was mentioned. with an estimate that at
least 100000 board feet Of apple wood
was used each year.
Commenting upon this statement the
representative Of a leading saw manufac-
turer states that his firm alone has con-
sumed an average OF more than 100000
board feet Of apple wood for the past
thirty-fve years. and that the demand has
increased until the yearly consumption is
fully 1000, 900 board feet at the present
time.
With such figures as these from only one
manufacturer. ii is believed that others
would bring the total consumption to ap-
proximately 100000 board feet Of apple
wood annually.
Good prices are paid for old apple trees
that are sound. and when an old orchard is
replaced the value Of the wood should not
be overlooked by the owner Apple wood
is displacine ebony and some other mate
rails in the manufacture Of umbrella
handles. and it Is being put to great
many other new uses every day.-Ex-

to the intention of the voters at ALL In
this connection, it is worthy Of note that
at this same election our Democratic can
didate for Congress in the Sixth District,
Mr.. EtchisOn. ran 213 votes behind Mr..
Lewis in Montgomery county, although
there was no apparent opposition to him
in the party here. and he was regarded as
political friend of Senator Lee. There is
no doubt that in this election there was
scattering cut against Lewis in the coun-
ties due to personal and factional reasons,
but this occurs to greater or less extent
in all elections and against all candidates
of all parties but such cut against Lewis
was manifestly very small. The fact is,
notwithstanding he lost Baltimore county
by 100 votes, he carried the State outside
Of Baltimore city by majority of $3.50.
At the last State election. if remember
correctly, Governor Harrington lost the
State outside of Baltimore city, although
he carried Baltimore county by over 5000
majority, In that election Harrington re-
ceived over 117.000 votes in the State.
which was about the largest vote polled
by local Democratic candidate.
In closing, may add that while did
not approve of all of Mr.. Lewis actions
and have always been strong supporter
of Senator Lee, as a party man voted for
Mr.. Lewis and no Democrat suggested to
me to do otherwise.

sion, discussed the topic, "How the Reas-
sessment Of Real Estate Affects Montsom-
cry County" Judge Lesser stated that
Maryland has had. until recently, a crude
system Of taxation. There had been no
classification of property for taxation pur-
poses and in eiehty-five years there had
been only five general reassessments !;
moreover, there had been no regular De-
riod for reassessment. in one case the time
being twenty years.
He pointed out that reassessment does
not necessarily mean increased taxes; it
is merely revision Of the rate of taxa
ton. the rate being fixed by the legisla-
ture. The object of reassessment is the
equalization Of taxation. Once the prop
erty has been reassessed, there should
be permanent force whose duty it would
be to change assessments from time to
time as values change. that is, a continu-
GUS reassessment as conditions justify it.
With this idea in view, the State Tax
Commission had been established in 1914.
Its powers were increased in 1915 so that
it may compel uniform system of assess
ment Throughout the State. By no other
means could equalization of taxation be
brought about. Such a plan has been
adopted in majority Of the States of the
Union. Keeping up assessments from year
to year, as it is done in Baltimore, is very
inexpensive. while general reassessments
are very costly.
Mr.. Lesser discussed the classification of
property for reassessment; advocated the
statement Of the consideration in deeds
for the sale Of real estate and defended
the exemption Of MORTGAGES from taxation.
He pointed out that only two counties of
the State tax mortgages. Montgomery be-
ing one of them.
He concluded by stating that increased
taxes are due to the fact that the people
are demanding more of the government
in the form Of better roads, better schools,
better health service. and more extended
social insurance.
Many questions were asked by members
Of the audience and spirited discussion
ensued.
The conference gave a rising vote Of
thanks to the speakers Of the day. and ad-
journed at 4:30 P. M.

Lewis Vote AnaIyzed.

Editor of the Sentinel The press has
contained items attributing the defeat of
Hon. David J. Lewis largely to alleged
cutting by friends of Senator Blair Lee in
counties of the State. Let us analyze the
complete returns and consider them in
connection with the well-known conditions
which prevailed at this election and see
if this claim is justified by the facts.
shall have no comment to make upon
the vote in Baltimore city further than to
say that in the city. as well as in the
larger counties of the State, the question
of prohibition was being voted upon. ae-
companied by the schism in parties always
incident to such contests.
Mr.. Lewis had previously voted in Congress
in favor of national prohibition. He thus
became a shining mark for the opponents
of that measure not only in Maryland, but
throughout the nation, when it was proposed
to increase the power of his voice and
vote by placing him in the Senate. In
this contest it was strenuously urged that
the election of Lewis meant the approval
by Maryland of national prohibition,
Mr.. Lewis had right to expect as he
and his friends evidently did expect, that
he would draw many votes from other
parties upon this issue. That he succeeded
to some extent in doing so | feel sure. But
II the election proves anything, it is that
Mr.. Lewis lost many more votes from his
own party in the counties upon this issue
than he gained from other sources also,
that he lost most heavily where the liquor
question was being voted upon. for exam
pie. In Baltimore county President Wilson
received 4.736 votes and Mr. Lewis II ASS,
a loss to Lewis of 1921. or a little over
% per cent; while in Montgomery county,
where there was no vote upon the liquor
question, the vote was, Wilson 3,7l7,
Lewis 3.427. loss Of only 900. or little
Jess than 8 per cent
This loss Of Lewis in Baltimore county
was properly attributed by the sun" on
the day after the election. to the liquor
fight in that county. 1t could not be at
tributed to Senator Lees friends because
he has not the semblance of an oreaniza-
tion in that county. and no one is so silly
as to think that Lee could not have cut
Lewis many times more than 900 votes in
Montgomery county had he chosen to do
so.
The following shows the losses sustained
by Lewis in various counties Of the State as
compared with the vote for President Will
son. The first column shows the counties in
which wholly or in part the liquor ques-
tion was being voted upon and in which
the interest of the voters in that question
was necessarily most acute:
