they also get the s'breakage," which
amounts to approximately 10, making
a total of SO, now collected on the
bets. It is, / understand, proposed to
apply the new tax of 1870 on the total
amount bet before the tracks get their
SO, which means that the tracks
would receive exactly 1919 less than
they now receive. Approximately
$35,000,000 was bet this year, so that
the go the tracks received amounts to
S2,1OO,OO0, but if the new tax of 1919
had been in effect the four tracks
would have received $4,000 less.
1t is thus apparent that the pro-
posed 1870 tax, if deducted before the
tracks take their go, aOoatd materially
affect the receipts of the tracks them
selves.
2. If the 1919 tax and the go which
goes to the tracks are both levied on
the total amount bet, it brings the
total charge against the bets to 1879,
while if the 1870 tax is taken first and
the SO collected on the balance, the
charge will be 1910. Either levy is
from about $40 to about $50 higher
than the charges in other States which
permit Pari-M utuel betting, and either
would also be more than two half
times the present charge in Mary
land.
8. Pari- Mutuel betting is authorized
in only five States, namely, Maryland,
Louisiana, Kentucky, Illinois and Flor
ida. In Maryland SO and brokerage
to the nickel is collected by the tracks,
in Illinois 61a9o with no breakage, in
Kentucky 1870 with no breakage, in
Florida 1870 and breakage to the
nickel, and in Louisiana 1920 and
breakage to the dime. I have no
definite figures as to the results in
any State outside of Maryland, but
members of the Maryland State Racing
Commission tell me that in those
States which now take 1919 the vol
ume of betting has materially declined,
and they say that this is likewise true
in Canada, where the rate was recent
ly raised.
A. Racing officials likewise claim
that considerable percentage of the
money bet at the Maryland tracks
comes from the so-called big bettors
or professional operators, and it is
commended that these men would not
bet their money at the Maryland
tracks if more than 1870 was to be
taken from the Pari-Mutuel bets.
It is impossible to definitely deter
mine just what percentage of the
money actually bet comes from social
ed big bettors, but the following de-
nominations of the tickets sold on the
Maryland tracks this year gives some
support to the claim just stated:

CHRISTMAS DONATIONS

AS Christmas approaches the
Rising Sun school has an
nounced a general school do
nation for relief of the needy
in our community.
During the past three years
pupils and teachers have do
mated useful articles to the
school relief organization.
The school turns the donations
over to the 9Th District Com
munity Relief Organization,
who in turn distributes them to
the needy of the community.
Last year at Christmas time
many families were given a
merry Christmas as a result of
these gifts. The following con-
tributions would prove very &C
ceptable: Canned goods, veg
etables, clothing, shoes and
groceries.
Now as another Christmas
approaches let us show a true
Christmas spirit, and expert
ence the joy of giving to those
in distress.
We appeal to the ones in our
community who feel they are
able to contribute something to-
the needy. The need for CIV.
ing this year is greater than
last year, therefore, we ask the
cooperation of the teachers,
pupils and the parents. AS
you ponder over the question
whether you will or will not
contribute something, just re-
member the many people you
could make a merry Christmas.
for by contributing a useful
gift.

present arrangement would get back
$4,000 and thus be $1,000 ahead on the
day. But, if the 1919 tax was in eff
feet he would only have gotten back
$1,000 on the first race, and would
thus only be $500 ahead at the end of
the day, and instead of 1919 of his
winnings, the State would have taken
300. Any number of different COM
binations of figures can be given as
illustrations of what would happen,
but it would only be when the bettor
wins on every race that his tax would
not be more than 1920 of his winnings,
plus 1919 of the amount he bet, and
in many cases the 1919 tax would
absorb all of his winnings for the day,
and even more. This is shown by the
following example: "A" bets $1,000
on each race and gets back $4,000 on
the first race, $4,000 on the second
race, and $500 on the third race, a
total of $500, and loses the balance.
He would then have bet $1,000, and
would have gotten back $500, but
after deducting the 1919 tax on $3.50
on his aiming tickets, he would only
get back $67.50, and instead Of being
$500 ahead on the day he would be
$3.50 loser. The foregoing are inn
aginary, though entirely possible re-
suits under the proposed tax. The
following show the results which
would follow the application of the
tax to actual bets made by two large
bettors at Bowie on November 26,
1892:

For 10 years the Navy has known OF
the existence of the mile-high noun

on its map this formation, the ex-
istence OF which has just been reported
to the Coast and Geodetic Survey. Of

was $4,000 square miles, and this was
done in 38 days, he said.
THE results of this survey became
the subject of 'bathymetric chart
