U. s. Ownership Costly To State
From Baltimore News.

| From Baltimore News.
II Government operation of the railroads
should prove so satisfactory to Congress
and the President that they would decide
at later date to take over the railroads
and give Government ownership real
try-out the experiment would be costly
one for the State Of Maryland. The State
would lose $1,505.374 a year. This is
what flows into the State and county treasu-
ries in the form of railroad revenues.
These figures. be it understood. are only
approximate. They are arrived at on the
basis of application of the average county
tax rate to the total railroad assessments.
The lowest county tax rate on railroads is
that of Carroll county at 88 cts. on the 500.
and the highest Is that of Kent county at
$l.44 on the 500. The mean between
these two is $l.16, and this figure is used
in the computation of locality assessments.
There are no figures on the assessed valu-
alton of railroads in each county available
in Baltimore. Therefore, to arrive at an
rate is applied to the total assessment.
Gross State receipts from the railroads
in 1917 amounted to $705,509. The city
valuation of railroad property is fixed at
$22.393,176, and that amount subtracted
from the total State assessments leaves
$25, 795.323 as the amount of county as
aaaomanta Tho avarada countu TOW rota
of $l.16 applied to the county assessment
gives $299,235.75 as the amount derived
In revenue from the railroads in the coun-
ties, and the city rate of $1.98 applied to the
city assessment makes the tax revenues
from Baltimore aggregate Sass. 3SS.77.
But the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad pays
directly into the State Treasury, through the
State Comptroller's office, tax of $67-
452.64. This added to the amount of tax
derived from the counties, plus that from
tho city. plus the total gross receipts from
the State tax. makes the grand total of
railroad revenue in Maryland as stated
above.
OF course, the Government ownership Of
railroads is yet but a possibility. but should
it develop into an actually and railroads
become Government property Maryland
will have big leak to fill in her treasury.
Ten million dollars annually will be the
direct loss to the State Of Pennsylvania I'M
der Government ownership of the railroads,
said Chairman Ainey. Of the State Public
Service Commission. speaking at Green's
burg. Pa, in the interest of the Red Cross.
He stated that a similar loss was almost
sure to follow il railroads are to be FEEDER
ally Incorporated. For the years 1915
1915 the railroads paid into the State
Treasury nearly 100000. and that
amount has been increased until 1t now
reaches the enormous sum of about $l0,-
100000 The loss Of such an amount
would seriously affect the revenues of the
State, and could only be met by imposing
larger burden Of taxation upon the
available sources-the agricultural, utility
and manufacturing interests of the Com
monwealth."

Should any owner of personal property
who receives the notice and schedule fail

investigation made of the holdings of the

oath, and from the information thus OBJ
tanned make a valuation and assessment.

Olden Thoughts In Other Words

Be 1t stately mansion or humble cot,
Home is the pilgrims dearest spot,
The wanderers cherished goal.
As wild birds seek their place Of rest,
When by the evening shadows pressed,
So homeward speeds the soul
Home ties entwine the native sphere.
And scenes familiar. far or near,
Whereer the rover's footsteps fall.
Destined by fate afar to roam.
cannot reach the dear old home
This year. though dear ones call.
And so send my hearts deep love.
And pray to Him who reigns above -

The Aviation Branch.


Lack of interest in the aviation branch
Of the Navy has caused distinct surprise
among the recruiting authorities in the
Maryland district.
This branch Of the Naval Service needs
from Maryland 80 quartermasters, 80
machinists' mates, is carpenters mates,
1 blacksmith and coppersmith.
Lieut.. M. A. Leahy, the Navy Recruiting
Officer for the Maryland district, was au-
thorized some time ago by the Bureau of
Navigation to enlist these men as quickly
as possible, but to date very few young
men have applied for these positions.
The aircraft service is one of the most
attractive branches Of the service, and Mr..
Leahy is unable to understand why a
greater interest has not been shown among
the young men in the State.
If these quotas are not soon filled from
Maryland, they will be supplied with men
from other States.
Maryland has also another quota Of 105
apprentice seamen to be filled by February
22nd. Applicants for this rating are coming
from all sections of the State, the rumor
that men Of the draft age can no longer
volunteer in the Navy having been dis
PEELED.
Full particulars Of Navy enlistments can
be obtained from the nearest postmaster
directly from the Navy Recruiting Station,
Calvert and Lexington streets, Baltimore. or
from the Navy Recruiting substations at
Cumberland and Hagerstown.

tor when the paper was denied the
privilege of the mails for pro-Ger-
manism, Paul Wierse, now in a fed

tried to sell out the State to the
Republicans "a couple of years ago.
AS for the rest, he will not positive
ly call them disloyal until he has
proof of it. But they r with a
bad bunch. Any paper with editors
like those mentioned ought not to
be listened to by decent, Democratic
South Carolinians. Yet Blease
urges all people to read this "fne"
paper.
In casting your vote, think of
some one boy over there, a son or
friend, and think what he is fighting
for, also how your vote may affect
him. "Let's make a Loyal Legion in
South Carolina" And all over the
United States will go the message,
GAIL is we'll with South Carolina"
J. F. Rice for One Poor Man at Least
James Francis Rice, candidate for
the long term, was the last speaker.
Due to the hour, many people left
the room and speaking was rendered
difficult. The Pomaria and Filbert
speeches of Blease d~isqualify that
candidate, said Mr.. Rice. This leaves
only Dial. The Bible says that it is
harder for a rich mar to enter hea-
ven than for a camel to pass through
the eye of a needle. Our history
has shown that it is just as hard for
a rich mar to go to the U. S. Sem
ate. Dial is a rich man and is
therefore debarred. If elected, he
could never get his mind off "busi-
ness" long enough to attend to
public affairs. The inference was
that Mr.. Rice had plenty of leisure
to devote to the people.
The next meeting takes place to-
day in Mccormick.

said, TT would seriously impair Am

war if the supply of highly trained
men were unnecessarily diminished.

ed students of their institutions for
higher education to volunteer in such
large numbers at the opening of the
war" In view of the Importance of
these statements the committe on
Education and Special Training OF
the War Department has started a
campaign for the enlistment in the
United States Army of the male
students in our colleges and univer-

is to induce as many young men as
