be voted on Sept. %.
Those favoring the sales tax are ex-

money is not coming in to support
the states bonds and additional re-

Persons opposing the sales tax will
use them to show that the people are
unable to carry much of the existing
tax load and to tax their necessities

COMPACT -
&c EXPERTS PLAY 1T 81

Systems are fine for the majority o.
hands in contract, but freak hands
will upset every system. However,
you should never get into much trou-
bic If you are always on the lookout
for misfit hand.
I believe one of the most serious
mistakes that the average beginner at
contract makes is in trying to rescue
his partner. Always remember this
when your partner makes a bid, he
assumes definite responsibility
Don't throw a monkey wrench in by
making rescue bid-it may only get
you into deeper waters.
One of the worst misfit hands play
ed in the recent national tournament
was the following, In which the fol-
lowing interesting bidding took place
at one table.
South and West passed, North
opened the contracting third hand
with bid of one heart. East made
a negative double. South bid one
spade. West bid one no trump to
show shoppers in both hearts and
spades. North passed and East bid
two clubs. South passed and West
bid two hearts.
Here North made the mistake of
doubling. While in the constructive
one over one system of bidding you
are allowed to make a weak third
hand bid. you should be cautious
about entering the bidding again.
You have done all that is required
Of you to keep the bidding open In
third position. The very fact that the
opponents have bid hearts should let
you know that you will probably have
a good score on the board because
they have bid your suit. However,
the distribution may allow them to

STATE COLLECTIONS
OF TAXES DECREASE
Sharp Drop Shown BY Auditors
Figures; to Use Data in
Sales Tax Fight

How tax collections have dropped in
the last two years is shown by data
compiled by the state auditors office.
In 1928 the state levied $3.434, u.s. 3
and has collected $3,347,1l2.1O or 97.46
per cent. This was considered an ex-
cellent showing, since the state al
ways estimates that five per cent of
the taxes levied will not be collected.
In 1929, the levy was S3,158, 10
and collections totalled $2,966, 500 OF
or 1898 per cent.
The year 1880 saw levy of $3,212.-
5000 and collections of $2,716,2l1.38
or 1855 per cent. In 1891 the levy
was $3.50 ,980.25 and collections were
81, 1876, 8l6.2a or 69,85 per cent.
The 1882 levy was 1882 ,459.58 and
collections to date are 81 .346, 1887 or
34.68 per cent. This represents pay

cording to a letter received here this
morning from F. w. Besley, State
forester, by the local post of Ameri-
can Legion, which last week sent a
resolution to the Governor asking that
camps be established here and that
ex-service men be given the prefer
ence for jobs.
"The forestry department has de-
veloped plans for doing a great
amount of forest work in Garrett
county under the reforestation pro-
gram, to the extent of two or three
large work camps" Mr.. Besley stated.

this work, that is being taken care of
through the relief agencies under su-
pervision of the U. S. Department OF
Labor. The forestry department does
not come actively into the picture I'M

STATE NOT TO TAKE OVER
ROADS UNTIL JUNE FIRST
Chairman Had Previously Stat
ed Work Would Start April l

The State Roads Commission will
not take over the roads of the county
until after the law passed at the re-
cent session of the Legislature, au-
thorizing them to do so has become
effective, it was stated by George w.
Harvey, president of the Board of
County Commissioners, this morning.
The bill becomes law on June first.
The County Commissioners were
notified several weeks ago by men,
Der of the State Roads Commission
that the State would take over all
county roads on April LIST or there
about and in consequence the Board
of Commissioners notified all county
road workers to suspend operations
on April LIST.
Last Saturday, however, Mr.. Uhl,
chairman of the State Roads Commits
sion, in telephone conversation with
the County Commissioners, stated
that the State would hake no action
until after the law becomes effective.
Thus all road workers of the county
are now being notified by the County
Commissioners to proceed with the
work of repairing roads until June
