The Court or Appeals Refuses To
say The Pool License Law Is
DEMONSTRATIONS

Betting on horse races in Maryland at
least as far as certain tracks are con-
cerned. was dealt blow last Friday when
the Court OF Appeals handed down an
opinion dealing with book making or bet
ting on races at the annual fair Of the
Agricultural Society Of Montgomery County.
Attorney General Richie made the fol-
lowing explanation Of the decision by the
Court Of Appeals in the Montgomery Agri-
cultural Society case
THE anti-racetrack betting act was
passed in 1898. This act was divided into
two parts. One part prohibited betting on
races altogether. The other part permitted
betting upon any race course which had
been licensed by the Circuit Court. The Az
ricultural Society was indicted for permit
ting betting at the Rockville Fair races
without having procured license from
the Circuit Court.
THE lower court held that the part of
the act Of 1898 which authorized the Cir
cult Court to grant licenses was void, on
thc BtOuHu thut INC BIhHtlnB VI buCu
licenses was a nonjudicial function but
that the other part Of the act, which pro-
hibited betting altogether, was valid. and
the Agricultural Society was found guilty
under this latter part Of this act.
THE Court Of Appeals. in affirming this
judgment expressly refused to decide
whether the part Of the act which author
lied licenses was Wild or not. because, the
court said
If. II ii was valid. the society was. Of
course, guilty, because It had not obtained
or applied for a license.
~. II 1t was invalid, nevertheless the
other part Of the act. which prohibited
betting altogether. was valid.
THE Court Of Appeals has expressly de-
ciined to say whether the Circuit Court has
the power to grant such license or not.
Should II be ultimately decided that the
Circuit Court has not this power. then betting
at all such tracks will be unlawful. Should
Il be ultimately decided that the Circuit
Court has this power. then betting will be
lawful at such Of these tracks az secure
licenses from the Circuit Court"

County Federation of Home and School
Associations will be held on the afternoon
Of the first Tuesday following the close Of
the county schools. at the assembly room
Of the Rockville High School. The date this
year will be June IL. The important subject
OF the advantages OF consolidation Of one
teacher schools to form graded schools.
where practicable. will be presented by an
official OF the United States Bureau Of
Education familiar with the situation in
other States, where rural communities have
secured better schools by merging small
schools with graded schools, and forming
graded schools by uniting several one
teacher schools. The County Federation
Of Home and School Associations is on
record as favOring the retention Of one
teacher schools as primary schools where
sufficient number Of children for the
first three or four grades can be obtained.
Another subject. which will probably be
presented by representative Of the Mary
land State College Of Agriculture. will be
that Of the extension OF instruction in az

out and work in the interest of the farmer
When farmers buy fertilizers to use on
their farms, think they should know what
they contain and what the filler Is.
If elected, will work for law to that
effect.
2. believe we taxpayers are paying
two much money for the number of miles
of good roads we are getting. In other
words. we are not getting value received
for the tax money collected from us and
expended for roads.

so found. and will promise to work for that
principle.
8. am opposed to raising the taxes
another cent higher than at present, low

At the tractor demonstration it was
noted that the majority of the outfits were
equipped with steel plows. Long expert
ence with the walking plows has proved
that the steel-plow bottom is not suited to
our soil. With the engine plows we have
identically the same soil to contend with,
and in most cases II has been proved. at
considerable expense to the owner, that
the steel plows are not satisfactory Il is
possible to obtain the same chiled-p pillow
bottoms on the engine plows that the
farmers of the county have been success
fully using for years on their walking plows.
The steel plows will not scour in our gritty
soil If it is the least bit moist. The mould
boards are much softer than the chilled
boards and will need replacing sooner. The
shares are very expensive. 81 each COM

unless properly sharpened the steel shares
