Commissioner Hunts Action Saves
Montgomery County Taxpayers
Many Thousands OF Dollars.

Under provisions of State law the
State Tax Commission has the power to
revise taxes throughout the counties of the
State when ever they see fit to an assess
ment basis of full value Of the property.
Last fall they ordered several counties in
the State to revise their assessable basis,
among which appeared Frederick county
The Commissioners of Frederick county
opposed this by going to Court, claiming
that the State Tax Commission did not
have the power to force this revision. but
they were beaten and the revision ordered.
MONTGOMERY county's turn came this last
spring and summer when the County Com
missioners. sitting as Board. at Rockville.
were ordered by the State Tax Commission
to include in their levy enough money.
about 81 500. to cover the cost of revising
(upward) the assessable basis of Mont
eomery county. which the State Tax Com
mission claimed was not high enough. and
that the assessed basis of about $50, 00O,-
900, at which it is now carried, should be
| nearer 0OO,OOO,OOO'
Mr. Hunt took the position that this
could not be termed revision, as the en-
tire project was TO raise and not lower the
assessment and that therefore il was a re-
assessment, which, under the law. must be
applied to the entire State and not to one
county at time merely by the selection
by the State Tax Commission Of any coun-
ty they might care to single out. He also
pointed out to the Commissioners. and
made il in the form Of a motion before
the Board. which appears upon their min
utes, that "due to the present inflated
value Of real estate and the low purchas-
ine power Of dollar" it would be unfair
to the people Of Montgomery county to
force a reassessment on them at this time,
and he submitted a letter, which was
siened by the President Of the Board OF
County Commissioners. to the State Tax
Commission withdrawing their former let
ter Offering to comply with the so-called
revision.
Commissioner Hunt also pointed out that
the State tax rate, which Is about So cents
on the hundred OF assessable property. by
reason of its being fixed rate for two
years. would cause the people Of Montsom
cry county. on the proposed increase oil
S28.000.000 assessabIe property. to pay
into the State treasury an additional sum
in taxes amounting to about 100000
year.
Il is understood that the Board o
/ Montgomery County Commissioners re
Gently received a letter from the State
Tax Commission stating that the proposed
reassessment would be held up unit
further notice. evidently recognizing thu
logical argument which Mr.. Hunt pre-
sented in behalf Of the taxpayers Of Mont
= eomery county.
The people Of this county have saved a
least $4,000 this year by Mr.. Hunt
action, supported by our Board Of Commits
, sioners. Both Mr.. Hunt and his colleague
deserve the thanks Of all the citizens o
this county. which hope you will ALLOW
me to express for my part in this brie

"Better Speech Week"

In Feb ruary. 1915, the National Council
of Teachers Of English organized a COM
mittee on American speech for the pur-
pose of interesting Americans in con
serving the melodous English tongue and
improving our national speech manners"
In the past few years the work started by
this committee has spread. every State in
the Union has become interested and at
one time or another has had a Better
Speech Week" or Better Speech Drive"
Speech Week" is primarily an effort
toward arousing public sentiment to the
need and the possibility Of improving the
speaking voice and raising the standard
Of speech in our daily life. The final aim
Of Better Speech" advocates is to bring
about language with clear. clean and beau
tiful speech When the ideal OF clear,
correct. accurate and pleasant speech has
bren developed all over this country. the
people OF the United States will he strongly
united in mind and purpose.
Better Speech Week" is at hand once
uOfe. DetWCcn DCCChhuOi ioth anu DC-
cember 18th the school children Of Mont
gomery county will cooperate in making
Better English Week" a success.
But what must we do to make this drive
a SUGGEST Every person, small or large.
young or aged. must feel himself part Of
il. We think in words A small vocabu-
larry means also small range Of thought.
Slovenliness in speech reflects itself in
slovenliness in thought. We must realize
the importance of an accurate knowlede e
OF the meaning and the use Of words, and
of the possession Of a large vocabulary.
Words aid US in solving mental pr oblems
and the more correct words you know the
more competent you are to consider those
things.
Avoid slang expressions. This prevents
a persons vocabulary from increasing. For
all slang, good. clear and accurate English
words may be used II is a poor substi-
tute and such substitutes cannot last The
more your vocabulary increases. the less
you are tempted to use slang. for greater
variety and range OF ideas are at your
command.
But vocabulary is not all. We must lay
special emphasis upon grammar and enun'
citation. 81 amt" Il SEEM" HE don't" are
examples Of bad grammar. During Speech
Week" these expressions should be given
| special attention. The most noticeable
defect in enunciation is the clipping Of

Our speech is often sloven in regard to
choice of words, enunciation. grammatical
construction. and especially in regard to
voice production. We should talk with our
lips and not through them. "A good voice
has a charm in speech as in song"
We wish in the coming Speech Week" to

GEN. DENIKINE is FUGITIVE.
Anti-Sovict Leader Makes His Escape
10 Constantinople.

Constantinople April General
Denikine, former commander of anti
Bolsheviki forces in southern Russia,
has arrived here and is now a fugitive
on board a British warship. I'M
med:ateH after he landed he went to
the Russian embassy with General
Romanovsky, his former chief of staff
and it was while he was there that the
latter was assa ssinated.
General Denikine is believed to be
in danger because of the high feeling
that prevails among Russian officers
here, and went aboard the warship
under a guard of British soldiers.
General Romanovsky's murderer has
not been apprehended and there is lit
tie chance he will be caught, as attaches
at the Russian embassy say so far as
they can determine nobody saw the
tragedy. General Wrangel. who was
elected to succeed General Denikine as
commander of the south Russian forces
in Crimea, has assume ed his duties.

SAYS DEMOS. WILL PICK M'ADoo.
Thompson Predicts G. o. p. Will
Ditch Wood and Hoover.

McAdoo will win the Democrat nom
ination for president while the Re-
publicans will ditch Wood and both
sides will overlook Hoover. That is
the presidential prediction of William
H. Thompson, Democrat and former
United States senator.
"a short time ago each party was
afraid the other might nominate
Hoover" said Thompson. To-day
each is regretting that probably the
other won't. 1T is safe to say con-
tinued Thompson in forecasting con-
vention action, that Wood won't be
the Republican candidate. He will
suffer the usual fate of those who
lead on the first ballot but haven't a
required majority. When some strong
delegation leaves him. there will be a
stampede to get off the sinking ship.
McAdoo looks to me today like the
strongest Democratic candidate"
