Tobacco Growers Busy In Southern
Maryland.
10 the Editor Of fhc EUening Capital:
The past few weeks have been busy
weeks for the tobacco growers OF
Southern Maryland. and for this rea-
son the organization work fer the
Maryland Tobacco Growers Associa-
ton has been permitted 10 slow ur
until the rush incident to harvesting
and grain seeding was out Of the way.
While the progress In organization
made to date has been very satisfac-
tory. there is still much work to he
done, and we must, one and all. get
busy in dead earnest
| This notice is directed 10 ".All To-
bacco Growers" If you have already
signed up yourself. don't stop there
! but get your neighbor to do likewise
| II you have not yet signed up, put this
! important matter of business OF nc
longer, thereby jeopardizing the pros
poets for the organization of a com
pletely successful association-Join
Now
1t should be your pleasure as it is
your plain duty to join with your fell
low farmers in this movement to pro-
tect your own interests and theirs.
In this connection | wish TO call
your attention to the Grand Rally to
be held at Claggett's Hall, near
Tracys Landing Post Office and urge
your attendance. 1t will lie a big
day for Anne Arundel county, and
you should be here prepared TO do
your part toward "Liberating Tohac-
CO" to the end, that January 1st may
find that this Farmers Cooperative
Association in position to market al
least 80 per cent. OF the tobacco grown
in Southern Maryland.
The accomplishment of this will
mean new era of prosperity for the
five lower counties. Lest you forget
l quote from the government official
record the average prices paid fol-
Maryland tobacco on the Baltimore
market for the past ten years, to wit:
1917, 20 cents; 1916, 16 cents; 1915
SIS cents; 1914, s cents; 1913, SO
cents; 1912. cents: 1911, rs cents;
1910, IT cents; 1909, s.3 cents; 1908
rs cents.
The disastrously low prices of for.
mer years stand out as the big com
polling reason behind the Maryland
Tobacco Growers Association. This
organization, properly supported by
the tobacco growers will elfectuallS
safeguard the interests of its mem
bers against return to the old con.
ditions.
Permit me to SUGGESTED Busy
Do your part now, and attend your
self and get others to attend the
Grand Rally TO be held in Claggett''
Hall, near ATracy's Landing Pos
Office.
Respectfully your,
GEO. II. STEVENSON,

Hot Teapot Handles

In the smart little art shops which
somehow or other seem to flourish
prosperously because they are so tHll
of original and interesting things that
one simply cannot resist, are some
new and fascinating contraptions de-
signed to protect my lady's hands
from hot teapot handles.
One OF these affairs is yellow felt

out of the felt in two layers with a
double layer of thin cotton batting
between, and the outer sides decorated
cfeverly with dashes and dots of black
ink in bird markings. The bird ap,

away "in his little inside" and one
grasps him firmly but deity to lift
the teapot and pour out*&he tea.

TAXES SHOULD BEeEQuALIzED

TAXES SHOULD BE@EQUALIZED
One portion OF the report made
by the Noyembcr grand jury to
the court deals with the jury's
conclusion from all examination
Of the records Of assessments that
there are many cases of unfair
ness, which operate to the disad-
vantage Of the small property
holder. That is to say, a higher
assessment is placed on him than
on the larger property holder.
1--WE therefore recommend" SAYS
the report, that the larger prop
crty holder be assessed on the
same basis as the small property
holder, which will enable the
county to procure much more in
come without increasing the tax
rate"
This recommendation is a mat
ter of wide interest, and ought to
be taken into careful considera-
ton by the county commissions
crs. One OF the greatest Difficult
ties Of county government is the
lcvying of satisfactory assess
ments. and opinions will differ
sharply as to what is fair rate
or not IN a given case. 4 recent
illustration OF the variance be-
tween the State Tax Commission
i and the Frederick county COM
miSsioncrs. The latter fatty re-
fused to comply with an order Of
the State body 70 readjust certain
assessments. The controversy
arose because OF the sale Of Ger
tain properties at figure far
above the assessment The state
Tax commission contends that
the rate ON adjoining properties
should be raised, while the coun-
~ commissioners contend that
the assessments are fair and
equitable, and assert they VIII
not increase the assessment OF a
proPcrty-owner, simply because
a purchaser. for reasons of his
own, gives a fancy price for an
adjoining farm.
70 casual observer. it would
appear that there is some reason
and Justice on both sides of the
controversy. The courts have
not yet been called upon to de
eide between the State and the
county authorities. and when
they arc the outcome will be
hiehl, interesting and informa-
tive 20 all the counties of the
State
The tax question is not SIM
PIC one Whether it IS possible
TO reduce assessing to a thumb
and rule basis is open to doubt
The human element-and we al
ways have to ds2l with the falli-
bility OF human nature-cannot
yet be dispensed with. But it is
possible; by concerted action on
the part OF the taxpayers, by
study and forbearance, for any
community to reduce to the mini
mum vexations over inequalities
of assessments.

NEW JERSEY upHoLDs LEAGUE

The election of Edwards car
ries warning to Republican OBJ
structionists in the United States
Senate, observes the Newark
News, the leading independent
daily of New Jersey in comment
ing upon the Democratic victory
in the Presidents home state.
Conceding that there were two
important local issues in the
campaign, The News reminds
that there was a third issue-de-
libcrately injected into the con
test by Republican leaders.
This issue" says The News,
was the issue OF the reputation
OF the League of Nations. By in
viting Senators Borah and John
son here, two of the most IRE
concilablc league wreckers; by
the statements of Edward Casper
Stokes; Republican state chair
man the voters were informed
that an attempt had been made
to inject a national issue into the
campaign and the Republicans
at ashington and Ill the state
would count the election of Mr.
Bugbee { Republican gubernator-
ial candidate as an approval oil
the Senate's course toward the
treaty and a forecast for 1920. Mr.
Stokes went SO far as to say that
on this issue he would econcedt
1920 if Edwards (Democrat) was
elected. Senator Frelinghuysen
through Bugbee, campaignec
here Tor support Of his attitude o.
opposition.
They have their answer
which they can carry to the OBJ
structionist Republicans in the
Senate. They cannot now dodge
that as an issue, because they
made It an issue, and it made
votes-for Edwards. Neither the
issues of personality, nor prshi.
bition, nor the Public Service a:
presented, are quite sufficient
wholly by themselves, to account
for such an overturn in dis
tinctly Republican state. Mr.
Stokes and the Republicans II
the Senate raised the point that
helped to decide the Indifferent
and unconvinced."

William Waldorf AstorI,ives
in Retirement in England

?" HE recent news from England
that Major William Waldorf
Il Astor is living in retirement
near Brighton and avoiding So
ciety as much as possible recalls vivid
ly statement he once made when he
owned "The Pail Mall Magazine which
he had purchased with several other
British publications. He was referring
to statement once made by Hiram
Powers in Florence that "Wealth is
nothing"
Il have never wished to live at Brook
dale" the present Lord Astor wrote,
where Hawthorne went to learn that
wealth is nothing Nor should I have
been content at Walden with the con
temptation Of nature and a dailv plate
of Thoreau's bean soup On the con-
trary, l am so little of Diogenes that
it has always seemed to me a truisro
that we owe to wealth the greatest ad-
vantages and pleasures that life can
offer, in education, in the comforts and
retinements of home, in the embellish-
ments of art and in the delight of
travel"
