Hon. John M. Dennis was reelected
State Treasurer on joint ballot of both
houses of the General Assembly.
The Republican minority paid a
compliment to former State Senator
Oliver Metzerott, candidate for Comp
troller at the last election, by nominal
ing him for the office.
The reelection of Mr.. Dennis was
regarded a foregone conclusion even
before the Democratic caucus. In the
Senate the name of Mr.. Dennis was
placed in nomination by Mr.. Mcintosh,
of Baltimore county. The nomination
was seconded by Mr.. Frick, of Balti-
more city, and Messrs. Legg, of Queen
Anne's and Brady, of Anne Arundel.
In the House Mr.. Dennis was nom
mated by Delegate Given, of Baltimore
county, and the nomination was Sec
onded by Delegate Gambrill, of How
ard.
The tellers returned the joint bal
lot as showing SO votes for Mr.. Den
mis- and 36 votes for Mr.. Metzerott,
the vote in the Senate being 20 for
Dennis, 6 for Metzerott and in the

Senator Brady made vain attempt
to make provision for the unemployed
in Annapolis when he offered an ORDER
directing the Superintendent of Public
Buildings to provide enough cleaners
to keep the State House in sanitary
condition. As matter of fact this
was not an unusual proceeding. From
time immemorial such jobs have al
ways been conceded to Annapolis, the
smaalness of the pay keeping outsdd-
ers away. There was a time when
the cleaners received as much as the
legislators and under the old regime
which flourished in the halcyon days,
a hundred or more got their share of
the graft even though they did not
report for work.

PAIRING down of the budget will be-
gin in the Senate as soon as the
Governor submits his estimates to the
General Assembly.
Senator J. Frank Parran (Repub-
ican) of Calvert county announced
that he was sounding out the senti-
ment of his colleagues, trying to line
UP sufficient support to reduce salaries
provided for some State officials in the
budget.
Senator Parran referred in particu.
lar to the salary now paid the State
Tobacco Inspector, $4,000 year. Men
used to fight for that job in Southern
Maryland" he said, when it paid
$4,000 year, and the man who Is now
paid $4,000 would fight to keep the
place If it paid only $1,000"
He said that there were other sal
aries submitted by Governor Ritchie
which he considered to be too large
and would attempt to reduce.
That Baltimore city, by having its
municipal expenses increased, is hav-
ing its burden of State taxation aug
mented and is thereby carrying a
double load, is the complaint being
voiced by some of the city's repre-
sentatives. Their reasoning Is some
what as follows.
The city, to meet growing expenses
and at the same time not to increase
the tax rate, adopted the expedient
of raising assessments. Even so, the
Board of Estimates had hard work to
keep the tax rate down to the pre-
vious $297.
The increase in the city's total as
sessable basis for this year is in round
numbers s76 10000, according to the
data on which the Baltimoreans base
their ''bill of complaint" Now, they
say, this increase in the assessment
means not only more city taxes paid
by property holders (though the tax
rate remains the same) but it means
that the city is paying more into the
State treasury.
The State tax rate is levied on the
city,s taxable basis, they point out.
Accordingly, as they say, the increase
Of s76,000,000 in the city's taxable
basis means-at the State rate of 35
cents-an increase Of s266,000 in the
taxes the city pays to the State. At
the reduced rate of 80 cents for the
States coming fiscal year-a reduc-
lion forecast by Governor Ritchie this
hcrease in State taxes paid by the
,ity would amount to $22S,000.
