leaders that the administration pro-
gram might be amended to grant
Baltimore city 80 per cent of the gas
oline tax funds instead of the 20 now
proposed. The fundamental differ
ences between the Governors and the
County Commissioners proposals are
that the administration would give
the city "a per cent and would have
the counties share administered by
the State Roads Commission, while
the counties would grant the city 80
per cent and place the counties share
in the hands of the various commits
sioners.
Because of the increased ratio, the
commissioners scheme was expected
to draw considerable support from the
city delegations and it is to offset
this that the hackers of the admins
tration have about decided on the 80
per cent figure. They will retain,
however, the plan to distribute the
funds through the Roads Commission.

partment to attempt to justify the
amounts asked for in the Governors
budget accommodations.
Much interest appeared in the re-
QUESTION for additional funds for the
purpose of hiring rs more state police
and several members have indicated
they will wage a fight to block this
appropriation.
A topic of considerable discussion
among members gathered in groups
about the State House halls was the
Association of County Commissioners
proposal for the division Of the gas
oline tax funds.
Dog Racing Bill

PAvLOVSKAYA, Kuban, U. S. S. r.,
September 13.-The whole North eau
casus is now engaged in the task Of
getting in the richest harvest Of years
and shows few outward signs OF hard
ships felt because of recent poor crops.
In an automobile tour completed to-
day from Rostov- Don into the heart
of Kuban-the native habitat Of the
Cossacks, who, as a class, proved to be
the bitterest enemies of the Bolsheviks
the Associated Press correspondent
found peasants generally working "a
hours a day in 12-hour shifts.
They worked hard to complete the
last stages of what for them will prove
the most profitable crop since the COL
lectiviZation Of farms began, If present
signs are indicative.
Each Gets Small Share.
Under the new agrarian policy Of
substituting a fixed grain tax" for
collections" which heretofore have
fluctuated according to the size of the
crop, each member of collective farms
IN this section may earn an average of
to 10 Kilograms Of grain each work.
Ing day (about Is to % pounds) which
he can sell on the private market after
his own needs have been satisfied
In addition, they receive a small
monetary wage and as much vegetables
and produce as they need.
The fact that the government came
to their aid last Winter and Spring
with food and seed loans and that they
had subsisted on smaller rations during
that period than did city workers were
subordinated in the minds of more than
a dozen collective farm peasants with
whom the correspondent talked on his
way to Pavlovskaya to the more imme-
diate fact that they now have a boun-
tiful harvest.
No Hunger This Year.
Whatever suffering there was, this
region seems to have been among a
class which not only refused to Join
the collectives. but actively opposed
Communist agricultural policies
Many Of these persons have now been
"liquidated" in one form or another.
Things were pretty bad last year,
but there is no hunger now" the work
ing peasants told the correspondent.
Hunger is their word for famine.
I'VE barely had enough then, but that
IS no more" they added
None of the children seen on the
trip showed signs of earlier malnutri-
ton.
