 HAVE HOUSE
Smill Plurality and Perhaps Small Majority Now Is Indicated.
 Speakership Is Uncertain.

Washington, Nov. 12.-Members of the House of Representatives ill the newly elected sixty-fifth Congress face one of the most uncertain ors;..liza- tion situations in the history of the government.
 With a few districts still in doubt the Republican, appear to have plu- ralty of four or five members, and possible majority of two or three when it is figurede that an Independea elec- ed in Massachusetts and Progressive elected in Minnesota probably will vote them for organization purposes, Independence of action has character ized a number of the reelected mem bers on the Republican side, however, and their attitude toward Democratic legislation in the last few years has given Democratic leaders cause for hope that some of them may carry their independence into the organiza- tion of the next house.
 On the face of the unofficial returns the political division of the house is so close that an effective and certain working majority does not exist. While there might be a few changes when the official returns are counted, the chances are that these will not mater ially alter the general result. In view of the situation, it is regarded by Dem- ocratic leaders as improbable that President Wilson will call an extra session of the new Congress- next spring. In that case the organizat- ion fight will not come until the regu- lar session in December, 1917, which will mean maneuvering for more than year in the contest for speakership of the house and the organization of important committees.
 Clark May Not Be Candidate.
 AS matters stand today the candi- date of the Republicans for speaker will be James R. Mann, the present minority leader, and Senator Clark generally is regarded as the Democrat ic choice to succeed himself. Already, however, there are rumblings of un- certainties because of the close poli- tical division. On the Republican side there are reports of dissatisfactions

MARYLAND MAY DREDCE
ON PROFITABLE SCALE
Judgment of 1925, 900 To Be Settled
For $4,000, Giving State Title to
Oysters Planted on Bottoms.

Maryland may engage in oyster
dredging on profitable scale when
it takes over the bottoms, leased I'M
der the, Price-CarnnSell amendment
of 1912 to the oyster cuhure-fa~p-ant
later vacated under a resurvey
the act Of 1914 The private lessee
of these lots have claimed that they
have spent large sums of money in
planting oysters. There is a doubt
whether there are marketable oysters
on these beds. In the opinion of
oystermen, however, there are accu-
mutations of over two years. Some
Of them have expressed the opinion
that the State can partially reim-
burse itself by taking up these oys-
tiers for the payments which it must
make to the lessees, whose beds, as
stated, have reverted to the State
under resurveys which established
the contentious of oystermen that the
leased beds were natural rocks and
should, therefore, have never been
leased. But they were leased and
small oysters were planted on them
The Board of Public Works has re-
ceived partial acceptance of its Of
fer of 1000, the sum appropriated
by the last legislature, from repre-
sentativeS of leSSees of the beds
which have been declared to be ma
tural rocks. With full acceptance of
the States offer the latter will then
be in position to decide whether it
will engage in oyster dredging, the
beds to revert to the oystermen after
the dredging shall have been COM
pleted.
Governor Harrington said yester-
day that he anticipates a favorable
termination of negotiations with the
lessees in a few days. The sum of
$4,000 is offered in payment of
judgments amounting to $255,OOO.

PROPERTY OWNERS
SHOULD PAY TAXES NOW
All 1916 Tax Accounts Begin to
Draw Interest September First
Prompt Payment Saves Discount,
Interest, Costs And Worry.

The County Treasurer has given
notice that State and county taxes
for the levy of 1916 are now due,
and this notice, taken in connection
with the large amount Of property
that has been recently advertised for
sale for the taxes of 1915, shows
very emphatically the difference be-
tween paying taxes when they are
first due and before they begin to
bear interest, and the putting off of
the payment until after the interest
starts, and then finally letting the
property be advertised in order to
compel the payment.
Beginning this year there is no
discount on State taxes; not only
is this true, but State taxes begin to
draw interest the LIST of September,
but there is discount of per cent.
for county taxes if paid on or before
September LIST. This is nearly one
thirtieth of the entire amount and is
well worth saving.
AS a matter of actual fact, as ev-
eryOne knows, taxes have to be paid;
a man may stand off individual credi-
tors for a long time, but the indeb
tedneSS for taxes must be paid, other
wise the property will be sold, and in
the selling of the property for the
taxes the costs are increased very,
very largely. There is another thing
about the tax question; most of the
tax accounts advertised are small
ones, bills that could have been paid
with about as little trouble at one
time as another and which were not
paid on account of putting it off and
putting it off, until finally the prop
erty was advertised, then came the
costs of SIS, which in many cases was
two, three and four times as much as
the original tax bill.
Let every taxpayer in the county,
especially the smaller ones, try and
pay the bill before Sept. 1st If the
bill is only few dollars, save, or, if
you cannot save that much by Sept.
1st, borrow it against your work,your
crop, or sell something, to pay. The
prompt payment will save money,
trouble, worry, embarrassment for
ones self and family, and will give
the satisfaction of knowing that the
account is settled.
Taxes must be paid, the property
upon which they are levied is re-
sponsible for them. Putting Off the
payment only postpones temporarily
IHelF cOllecIlOn. his Is the pest
time of the year to pay; there are
fewer demands upon wage earners
than during the winter. There is, as
a rule, more money coming in to all
classes of people at this season than
at any other, which makes it the
time to pay.
The taxes this year are 80 1-3
cents on the 500 on real estate and
personal property, other than house
hold furniture, for State purposes,
and $1.35 on the 500 on real estate
personal property and household fur
niture for county purposes, making a
total rate of S1.67 1-3

STORM STOPS RACING
Rain Interferes With POcOmOke Fair,

Heavy showers and an electric storm
interfered with the racing today at

to interfere with the attendance, and
fully $4,000 persons paid admission
to the grounds. Two heats were
finished in the 2.22 pace. Miss Nc
Kenney, owned by Dan Leary, of West
Chester, Pa, took the first, and DR..
