Hall BETTING Bill Dead.

When the Senate after listening
10 the oratorical and histrionfc en-
devors of President Norris, adopted
his amendments to the Hall betting
bill, thereby. nullifying that meas
ure, the upper House not merely beat
the Hall bill but solved perplexing
and disturbing problem in the States
finances.
Whether the Norris amendments
are enacted into law or whether they
are killed, the death of the original
Hall bill seems foregone conclu-
sion. In this event the State will
continue to receive the estimated an
nual amount of $4,000 from the
race tracks-an amount which was
written in the budget in the column
of receipts.
The elimination of revenue from
racing in the closing days of the
Legislative session would have re-
suited either in e 35 cent tax rate
instead of a 80 cent rate-a drastic
cutting into the budget, or deficit
at the end of the Ritchie Admins
tration. If the Norris plan of regu-
lating racing becomes a law, the
State will receive the fixed sum of
$4,000 a year, because the Norris
plan provides for not more than 72
days of racing at a per diem fee Of
100000.
That the racing associations will
desire the maximum number of days
permitted by law is taken for grant
ed. If both the Norris amendments
and the original Hall bill lapse, then
the status quo continues and the
Burke law remains as at present.

LLOYD GEORGE Wins
VICTORY in COMMONS
RedoubtabIe British Premier
Makes Russian Policy Keynote
of a Fighting Speech.

London.-Prime Minister George got
a vote of confidence of 372 to "a in the
House of Commons after outlining his
Genoa policy and again demonstrating
there is no man in England today to
take his place. Even the "a opposition
seemed more insignificant when three
hours debate revealed how miscel-
laneous were his opponents.
Premier Lloyd Georges policy for
the Genoa conference as outlined in
his speech can be summarized as fol-
lows:
First-Peace with Russia, making
possible the rehabilitation of the Red
army and all other huge continental
arInaments and the restoration of
trade.
Second-Balanced budgets and re-
vived trade as result of the first two
measures, thereby enabling Germany
to pay the reparations which he de-
clared France, England, Belgium and
America can't be expected to pay.
In outlining the guarantees which
are expected from Russia and the bor-
uor states Tic plclliitI ucIioiCu tiot
each must agree not to attack the
other.
The premier in these points indorses
the French policy regarding Russia.
AS to reparations, he made fur
ther overture to France when in dis
cussing the effect of alteration of the
Treaty of Versailles he said: "You will
be transferring the burden from the
6OOOO,0O0 (Germans) who are respon-
sible for the devastations to the 40
100000 (French) who were the victims
of the devastations. Therefore, it Is
useless to say that gigantic reparations
are responsible for the economic dis
organization of Europe"
But probably never before in Euro
pean politics was vote Of confidence
given where for the moment there Is
SO little confidence and it Is also unique
in British politics in that 1t Is the first
time a premier has asked the Commons
for a vote of confidence in himself or
in something he was about to attempt.

in the State.

City delegation, protested on behalf OF

Both Speaker Lee and President

Governor Ritchie also came in for

"It was the Legislature, and not 1,

Members of both the Senate and

Because most of these measures were

at has been the task of the Demo-
cratic party in Maryland for genera

lation for the State and enact that
legislation into law. This Legislature,
and particularly the Democratic ma
jorities in this Legislature, has
fulfilled all Democratic traditions in
this respect. No whip, no driving, was
necessary. 1t was purely voluntary
offering to the people of the State
which the members of the Assembly,
in passing this program of construct
i've legislation, made. Nor did all the
Republican members withhold their
support from the constructive pro-
gram, and those who did give their
support to it should share in the COM

the whole State owe to the Assembly

and fewer elections must still be ap-
proved at the polls. Other constitu-
tional amendments, designed to better
various conditions in the State, also
will be on the ballot, and l feel we
must all work for their adoption in
November.
Besides, we must see to it that the
plan for the reorganization Of the
State government is given fair start.
Everything should be done to get at
the very beginning of the working of
this plan, the efficiency and economy
which the plan was designed to bring
about. The Democratic party, l feel
certain, will be equal to these tasks.
/ feel that their accomplishment will
be made certain with the help of the
Republican party, because there is
nothing partisan in any of them"
