MARYLAND TO PROVIDE
SITES FOR CAMPERS
Roads Commission to Welcome Tour
lists; First Tract in Frederick.

Roads Commission to Welcome Tour
lists; First Tract in Frederick.
Maryland will extend an invitation
to tourist campers with the beginning
of spring. All along the State roads,
from the mountains of Garrett County
to the shores of the Atlantic, camp
sites will be provided for the tourists
by the State Roads Commission, and
they will be invited to come into
Maryland and make themselves at
home
The first step in this new program
of the commission was made when
John N. Mackall, chairman of the
commission, closed the deal for six
and-one~half acre tract of land on the
Frederick pike, on the western edge
of the town. The negotiations for the
purchase was carried on by Holmes
D. Baker, representing the Rotary
Club Of Frederick, the arrangement
being that the State acquires the land,
the city of Frederick to furnish the
water for it-and also furnish electric
lights and police the grounds.
Sanitary arrangements will be made
on the lot, and it is likely that
small shack will be erected by the
commission for the sale of small ar
ticles such as campers might need,
this concession being held by the man
who policies the ground.
The lot will be fenced and signs
erected announcing that it is for the
use of tourist campers, who may use
it without charge so long as the or
binary rules of good behavior are OBJ
served, Chairman Mackall expects to
arrange for similar camp sites all
along the State highways from one
end of Maryland to the other. Many
Of these will be located near the prin-
cipal towns where the people of the
towns express a desire for them and
cooperate with the commission in
establishing them to the extent of
furnishing water and light and ar
ranging for the policing. None will
be established near a town which OBJ
jects to tourist campers.
At each of these camp sites ar
rangements viii be made for the safe
ty of the campers and for such conven-
fences as can be provided for them.
Firewood viii be provided free or at
a nominal charge. The campers will
be expected to provide their own tents
or other means Of shelter.
Chairman MackalI said that the
plan had the approval of Governor
Richie. 1--WE recognize" Mr.. Mackall
said, that the tourist camper has
come to stay. We want to make them
welcome and we want to provide
places where they can be comfort
able

WAR TAX ON NUMEROUS

Pay Extra On Soft Drinks, Etc.
A joy of the new year is that it
brings with it an elimination of the
pestiferous war taxes which have
been the bane of most persons exis-
tence since the war. No longer
does one need lay himself open to
suspicion of having robbed the baby's
bank by carrying a pocketful of pen
MES with which to pay war taxes on
ice cream sodas and other soft drinks.
The new rule went into effect on
Sunday. Hereafter the manufacturer
pays the tax on beverages and a
large number of household and per-
sonal effects. This includes sporting
goods, chewing gum, portable electric
fans, thermos bottles, furs, toilet ar
ticles and musical instruments as well
as mems and women's wearing ap-
parel at prices not above the specified
minimum levels.
On other articles, such as carpet,
rugs and hand baggage, where the
prices exceed the specified levels, the
purchasers taxes are lowered to )
per cent.

WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES

L am indebted To the late Df. h. Is.
Rosa, of the United States bureau of
standards, whose analyses Of govern
ment expenditures l have already
quoted in these articles, for the fol-
lowing comprehensive survey of how
the taxes you pay to the government
are appOrtioned in expenditures. 1t
will give you the clearest and best idea
of where your money goes. For his
purpose Doctor Rosa took the actual
appropriations for the fiscal year 1920,
amounting to a total of $5,6S6, 005, 7O6,
as given in the regular supply bills and
three deficiency bills prior to May 1,
1920. For convenience he divided the

care of soldiers, deficit in the opera
ton of railways, expenditures of the

and the bonus to government employ
ees to cover partially the increased
cost of living due to the war, a total
of 81, $50, 1872, $50.

ments--cXpenses somewhat above a
permanent peace-time basis-$1, 424,

Group V.-Commercial or self-Sup-
porting activities including the post
office, land Office, Panama canal and

gether. earn their expenses.

and deyelopmental, including the wide
range of work Of the Agricultural de-
parunent geological survey, bureau of

reau of standards, bureau of fisheries,

whole raft of legislation embraced in
the comprehensive term, ''reorganiza-
ton" The Governor has designed the
reorganization of the administrative
departments of the States govern
ment as the great work of his admin
istration. The reorganization pro-
gram, Endorsed Sin principle" by the
Democratic State convention, is NOM
inally the work of a Commission ap-
pointed by the Governor from all ele-
ments (and both genders) of the
Democratic party.
1t is no slight to Judge Burke, the
chairman Of the Commission, or to
any of the members thereof, to say
that actually the great bulk of the
work was done by the Governor. 1t
is the Governor, moreover, who has
drawn most of the legislation de-
signed to embody the reorganization
recommendation into laws. Asso-
ciated with the reorganization project
is the proposal for fewer elections, a
proposal embodied in recommends
tons made by a subcommittee of the
Reorganization Commission. Of this
subcommittee former Representa-
tive Benson was chairman.
The Governor, by the way, was all
ready for the Legislature. If the
Legislative branch of the State gov
eminent patterns after the execu-
tive branch in diligence, it will be d
wonderful session of the General As
sembly which the State will see in
1922. Said a political observer of
long standing: Il have been watch
ing Governors for the last 80 years,
and never have | seen such a worker
as Richie" The Governor has his
Legislation ready. his budget ready,
his message "a monumental effort
ready.
Apart from the general reorgani-
cation program, many Git would
seem most) Of the State departments
desire reorganization of their own or
at least changes in the laws affecting
them. The Public Service Commits
sion has numerous amendments to
propose, most important among them
being the taxing Of the public utili-
ties for the maintenance of the Com
mission.
The salaries Of the three Commits
sioners would continue to be paid,
however, as at present. The Attor-
ney Generals office has been busy
drafting laws desired by the various
commissions and departments, and
among these proposed laws must not
be forgotten the gas tax" of Mr..
Mackall of the Roads Commission.
In their platform the Democrats
promised their best Offices in obtain
ing for Baltimore city increased rep
resentation in the Legislature to the
extent of two additional Senators and
y additional Delegates. The prepa-
ration Of the measure which would
submit this increase to a vote of the
people-for an amendment to the
Constitution is involved-is being
prepared by Secretary of State Perl
man, to whom Governor Richie en-
trusted the work.
This session of the General Assem-
bly, will enjoy the privilege of having
lady in its midst-Mary E. W. Ris-
teau, of Jarrettsville, Hartford county,
duly accredited member of the
House, enfranchised by the Nine
teenth Amendment to the Federal
Constitution and properly chosen at
the polls. The mere males are not
quite sure about how rigid a decorum
they must observe in her presence.
