ANNAPOLIS, Nd, January 3.-Goy.
Ritchie's recommendation that the
state tax rate be reduced cents, to
~ 2-13, the lowest since 1912, was the
outstanding feature of the converting
of the general assembly here yester-
day and caused no end of favorable
comment among members of both
branches, who felt that the governor
had "cut to the bone" without Grip
pling any essential state activity.
The tax cut proposal represents a
1o-cent reduction over the seven
year period which will be covered by
the governors two terms.
Other Recommendations.
Among other important recommen-
dations in Gov. Ritchie's budget mes
sage are:
Bond issues of s7,50O,OOO for roads,
bridges and improvements to state
institutions, a cut of $9,617,006 from

A committee of treasury officials, fol-
lowing the regular procedure, solemnly
carried bundle after bundle of bogus
bills to the great mascertators and in

value of the paper amounted to about
a quarter of a million dollars but their
worth was nil in the eyes of the law.

pieces in the mascertating machines and
then burned was so treated, while the
metals were cut to pieces with sledge,
chisel and anvil and then melted into
a shapeless mass to be sold for junk.
While secret service officials declin-

that their net had enmeshed few more
