Young claimed the companies have
securities and funds which should be
drawn upon in emergencies before the
public is taxed in additional fares"
He added that if "the fare of one conf
pany were increased and not the other.
no injury would be done either concern.
The one retaining the lower fare would
get increased patronage, with resultant
financial benefit. The one with the
higher fare would receive increased rev.

stances pointed out, but that there was
an increasing number of shady-looking
(to use mild term races run in Mary
land last Fall was evident. There was
general complaint that the more pre-
could get away with the proverbial
murder" and the racing authorities
seemed blind. The most fragrant case
of this was the astounding form re-
versal of Soul Of Honor at Bowie. 1t
might not be out of place to mention
that this is the same track where Care
free, horse that has won more races
over more different tracks of the United
States and Canada than any horse rae
ing in Maryland in recent years, was
ruled off for inconsistent performance.
And Carefree is cheap selling platter,
owned by family of modest means.
With the general trend of events,
racing Is in for a period of trouble at
Annapolis. Those close to the subject
do not believe that the present Hamil-
ton bill stands chance of being passed
by the present Legislature. But what
about the next one?
This is where the anti-racing ele-
mentS are arranging to concentrate
their forces for a battle which will
drive the "bangtails" out of the State.
And once they have been divorced from
the Maryland wage-earners' pocket
books they never will come back, say
the purihcationists. A bootleg" race
meeting would be impossible, is their
answer to those who retort that a dry
law has failed to make Maryland any
drier than the Chesapeake.

mutuels with sufficient recurrence to
more than make up for the $3.50 adj
mission or pull beyond that Of ward
heller to get possession Of a badge.
Pimlico occupies a position of greater
independence than any of the other
tracks. It's expenses, due to its loca-
ton within the city limits of Baltimore,
are high, due to the taxes. But, con-
versely its income also is greater, be-
cause hundreds of people from all over

Handle Million Day.
The pari-mutuel machines at Pimlico
handle nearly 100000 day, the
exact total for % days Of racing there
last year being $17,852, SOB. The mag
nitude of this will be appreciated when
it is pointed out that the first 10 days
of the Jefferson Park meeting at New
Orleans handled little more than
$10,000,00O Pimlico drew $4,000 more
paid admissions than the next nearest
track, Laurel.
So the politicians have trained their
legislative guns on the biggest prize
Take the betting away from the tracks
and there is nothing left to or fol
racing. The argument that it aids the
breeding of horses Is joke too ludicrous
to be taken seriously when the enor-
nous losses caused by its operation are
computed.
The chief argument used in favor OF
racing in Maryland is the statement
that it contributes around 100000 in
revenue to the States Golfers. Gov
Richie has made this sum his official
estimate in the budgets for 1880 and
1881. The total paid the State for 1925
was $716, 661.74
The church element pointed out In
the arguments for the Hall bill in 1922
that racing brings little into the State
that Is desirable and takes away mil
lions each year. They pointed out that
each of the major tracks was started on
"shoestring," comparatively small
amount of capital having been invested
in the beginning, and that the tracks
have grown to their present positions
of grandeur and affiuence out of the
take" from Maryland wage-earners.
Bettors Are Kicking.
Added to the general and growing
complaint against Maryland racing as
an institution is the now voluble vitu-
peration of the last element that would
be suspected of ingrowing pains-the
bettor. The man around the track
doesn't use choice terms when speaking
of many races run last year. Crooked,

descriptives are used freely, and fire.

FIGHT ON TRACKS
HAS MANY ANGLES
Even Bettors Dissatisfied
With Trend of Things in
Last Campaign.
BY L. F. VAN ORSDALE.

~ ERIOUS discomfort over the pres
ent conduct of racing in Mary
land has been forced into the
- limelight through the introduce
ton in the Maryland House of
Delegates of bill to prohibit the
operation of pari-mutuel machines at
the tracks.
The bill, presented by Irwin c.
Hamilton Republican, of Allegheny
County, provides mandatory sentence
of one year in Jail and fine of $4,000
for ian individual in or around a race
track to accept any money for the pur-
pose of betting on any race horse"
Mr.. Hamilton, president of the Mary
land Federation of Labor, said that the
bill had the backing of the State labor
organization and the American Fedora
ton of Labor. It Is well known through
out the State that the church organiza-
lions have been hostile toward the race
tracks for many years and have en-
deavored to have legislation prohibiting
their operation passed by previous
legislatures.
The sport had a narrow escape in
1922, when the Hall anti-race track
betting bill passed the House of Dele
gates. This proposed bill abolished
legalized betting at the four one-m1le
tracks and two half-mile tracks. After
being passed by the Delegates it was
sent to the Senate, where it was much
revised and so amended that the Dele
gates refused to accept it in its changed
form and they killed it.
Politicians Wall.
The grapevine telegraph around the
racing circuit last Fall carried many
rumOrS of discomfort from many sources
and representing many divergent inter-
ests. Loudest in their wailings were
the "small-fry" politicians, intent on
holding down SIS to $25 day job
working for the 100 or more days of
racing in the pari-mutuel department.
Next were the badge hounds" who
insisted that they be given as many
badges as they desired, to be handed
around to their constituents. And a
still smaller majority turned in griev-
ance over the fact that large number
the Maryland season in the pari-mutuel
departments, thus taking number of
jobs away from the home boys.
Pimlico Is the special target for the
politicians. This track, conceded by
all racing followers as the model of
straight-laced racing on the American
continent, is reputed to have Topped off
a large slice of 'courtesies" after the
passing of John j. c"Sonny'o Mahon,
the political dictator of the State 1t
will be recalled that fair-Sized scandal
was brewed when an ousted racing
inspector revealed that Mahon was
being paid $4,000 year from the
revenues of Havre de Grace. 1t was
no secret around the tracks that Ma
hons 20. K" on an application for a
job at any or all the Maryland tracks
was tantamount to a lifetime appoint
ment, unless fired for cause.
And Pimlico at the last meeting is
said to have slashed the free list down
to point where it took a good-sized
bank roll that oozed freely into the

Sure Way to Get Rid Of Dandruf

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. Then you
destroy it entirely.
To do this, just get about four ounces
of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
By morning. most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and two or three
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair WILDE lustrous.

feel hundred times better.
