TAX WAR

Prince Georges county today Is
threatened with a "tax war" as
the result of a drastic readjust-
ment of tax assessments by the
county commissioners in prepare
ton for a reduction in the tax
rate.
The county commissioners are
said to be hoping to reduce the
tax rate from 1882 to $1.35 on
the hundred dollars Of assessments,
but in order to do this without
reducing the county's revenue, it
will be necessary to raise the
assessment from $43 900, 900 to $780,
600 900.
This will be satisfactory, property
holders say, but the reassessments
in many cases are turning out to
be unfair. They charge that the
reassessment is not a read Just
ment" but a ''maladjustment."
Mass meetings have been called
in several towns. Riverdale has
appointed a committee to protest
to the commissioners. Capitol
Heights has even gone so far as to
organize a tax strike" IndiVid-
uals may have their property sold
for non payment of taxes, they Oh.
serve, but the sale of whole COM
munity for taxes would be attended
with considerable difficulty.
Property owners in Capitol
Heights contend their property has
been reassessed in some cases from
three to four times as much as
they could get for it.

Los ANGELES. Jan. q. - We

il / were in the jury box and they
asked me Ii / had already formed
conviction I'd say Yes, and I'd like
to hang him with my own hands.
/ am a fair-msuded person, as a.
rule, but ] certainly couldn't serve
on the Hickman jury and be fair to
the boy who is the defendant.
It was hard for me to understand
the atmosphere of the Hickman
courtroom for a long time.
The dynamic efficiency of this new.
judge, who knows what 1t is all
about and says so and doesn't want
any argument of the subject.
The amazing fact is that none of
the prospective jurors had ever
heard of the Hickman case, prac-
tically speaking. Yes, they did know
there was such a case, but they'd
read nothing but the headlines.
They hadn't been the least in
terested They'd never heard it
preached about, hadn't mentioned it
in the family, nor heard anything of
1t over the radio. Had no opinions
of any kind.
One Man Knew
Only one elderly man with a set
jaw said definitely and menacingly
thai he had read it, he had formed
an opinion, and nothing could
change it. There was a buzz of
approval after that, and the bailiff
quieted it.
But through 1t all you felt the
mysterious tension of young Hick-
man. AS though 1t was just begin
nj to dawn upon him, the awful
ness of this thing. 1 wonder If he
will last out the trial. doubt it.
The nervous system of even the most
hardened criminal has its breaking
point. If signs can be believed, Hick-
