For Retention OF Fees.

City Solicitor Marchant, of Baltimore
city, will ask the Board of Estimates at
once to indorse legislation at Annapolis
permitting Baltimore city and the counties
of the State to retain all fees collected by
clerks of the courts and registers of wills
in excess of their expenses.
A bill applying to Cecil county has been
introduced in the Senate by Senator
Crothers. Mr., Marchant said his purpose
was to have it amended. so as to include
every county in the State, as well as the
city.
From City Auditor Howard C. Beck Mr..
Marchant has received figures as to the
excess fees collected by the Clerk Of the
Criminal Court, the States Attorney and
the Sheriff of Baltimore city, which fees the
Court of Appeals has decided belong to the
State, under the existing law. Including
those collected in the city, the fees total
$l23,S50.45 year, taking 1918 as fair
average of every year from 1914 on. In
the city alone they aggregate sos. 6l0.78.
The amounts by counties are given as fol-
lows; Alleeany, $4,372.94; Baltimore
$12 ,320.96 Carroll. $755.3l: Cecil. ST.
0l6.17; Dorchester, SOFAS Frederick,
$535.95; Hartford, $l4.15 Howard. $780,
20; Prince Georges. $l,770.48. and Wash
ington. $3.65902.
The following counties returned deficits
in these accounts Anne Arundel, $l,734,-
IS Calvert, $1,501.50 Caroline. $744.61;
Charles. $S7.S7 Garrett. 2.187.69 Kent,
$1,7S7.78; Montgomery. $9l4.O7; Queen
Anne's. $1,666.73; St. Mary's, $818.77;
Somerset, $1,547.48; Talbot, $2.534.25;
Wicomico, $798.89, and Worcester, ST.
357.40. The deficits totaled in 1918 $l8,-
62917.
1T will be seen" Mr.. Marchant said, dis
cussing the figures. that II counties, in
Guiding Baltimore city, pay surplus Of
$123, 360.45, while IS counties have def
cts amounting to $18.62917. Further,
that of the total surplus returned Balti-
more city, Baltimore county, Allegany
county and Washington county paid more
than $118. 900 out of the total of $685.
350.45. 1t is fundamental that each
county and Baltimore city should support
its courts. but no county or Baltimore city
should support the courts of any other
county.
THE present plan invites extravaganza
in the various subdivisions of the State,
as the officials are all aware that what
ever may be the deficit in their particular
court it will be made up by the large sur
pluses of the several courts of Baltimore
city and the several counties named
Again. it prevents those counties and Bal
timore city who have these large surpluses
from reducing the cost of litigation. do
not believe courts should be used as in
situations to produce revenue, and no coun-
ty should be unwilling to support its own
courts.
This situation means much to Balti-
more city. and recommend legislation hav-
ing for its object the retention by Balti
more city, as well as the various counties.
of the amounts collected by the clerks Of
courts and register of wills as fees over
and above the expenses of their Offices"

In Memoriam.


On February the eleventh, Augustus W.
Rhine, of Montgomery county, passed from
earth to his Home Eternal-that bourne
from which no traveller returns.
An old landmark has been removed: a
citizen of the sturdier. worthier class has
passed to his reward, leaving behind memo
ries which will long be cherished by his
loved ones and the friends who knew him
best.
He was born October 23rd. 1S43, and
being in his 77th year. He was born and
reared in Montgomery county, where. with
the exception of few years spent in
Washington city in the eighties and early
nineties, he lived and died.
Gus Rhine. as his friends knew him, was
regarded as a model mana high type of
christian manhood possessing those high
qualities of honesty and truthfulness which
made and held him friends. He had no
bad habits; never drank drop Of liquor
in his life; never used tobacco in any form.
and. it can be truthfully said. that no one
ever heard him make use of an oath. He
was good and devoted husband, a kind and
loving father and true friend.
When the summons came, he and his
wife were living alone, all of their children
being married and away from home. He
was stricken with paralysis and the end
came peacefully.
He is survived by his wife. Helen. who
was daughter Of Ebert Beckwith pion-
eer of this section; four daughters and
two sons-Mrs. James o. Lewis, of johnson
City. Tenn. Mrs. Henry r. Michaels. of
Buffalo, N. Y. Mrs. Charles Welt and Mrs.
Guy Burroughs, of Washington city John.
Of Bancroft. Va, and Charles, of Washing
ton city. Every member of his family
was present at the funeral, which was held
at the home. His remains were inferred
in the Liberty Grove Cemetery.
To the sorrowing wife and children. many
friends and loving hearts extend their
deepest sympathy.

Financial support Requested For
Home Economics.

Mr.. Editor DO the people Of Montgom-
cry county realize, ar know, that they do
not pay one penny toward the support of
the Home Economic Demonstration She
is paid entirely by funds from the State
and Federal board. but which is not suffi-
Gent for her services the full year and
only allows twenty-five dollars a month for
the upkeep and running of her car. which
is not enough. Now, in order to keep her
on her job we must add five hundred dol
lars to her present salary. and it is up to
our County Commissioners whether they
hand down this county with the stigma Of
non-support Of Home Economics or include
the small sum Of $500 in their next budget.
There are but two other counties in the
State Of Maryland which do not help sup
port Home Economics, and they are poor
counties. while Montgomery Is next to the
richest in the State. And yet will our
men allow a work so important to educa-
ton and upift Of our rural girls who have
not even the advantage Of high-school
education (these are the ones to whom
Home Economies is senD to be turned
down for the sum of $500H | cannot feel
the men Of this prosperous county will OPP
pose a matter so vital to their young girls
when it only means the smallest fraction
Of a cent advance in their taxes.
The women Of the Federated Clubs have
taken this matter up, and there are over
eleven hundred women members In this
county who themselves or their husbands
are taxpayers, so their wishes should de-
mand some consideration. They are q
body Of intelligent, forceful women whose
aims are for the betterment and advance
ment on every line Of education. but thu
most important is the home-maker.
