Further evidence that liquor SNUG
Cling continues as a major problem
despite the repeal of prohibition is
seen in figures made public by the
Bureau of Customs.
1t was seen, moreover, in spite of
emphasis by the Treasury Depart
ment that seizures for violotion of
the customs laws were fewer in num-
Der and smaller in value in the fiscal
year ended last June 80 than during
the fiscal year of 1898.
Although a decrease of A per cent
in liquor seizures was reported for
1894, as compared with the full
''dry" year of 1888, it was noted, 80
per cent of these seizures were made
during the seven months of the fiscal
year that followed official repeal.
Since the close of the fiscal year
1894, the period covered by the re-
port made public Oct. 6, it was re-
called in unofficial quarters, signs of

BETTER HOUSING PROGRAM
GAINING MOMENTUM

Like a SNOWFALL going down hill,
the Better Housing Program is gain
ing in momentum and size. OF the
two hundred and eighty-six banks in
Maryland, one hundred and four
have qualified to make Better Hous-
ing loans" according to a statement
made by Arthur e. Hungerford, Di-
rector for the National Emergency
Council for Maryland.
Loans are now available in every
county in the State except five.
Loans have actually been made in
seventeen counties and Baltimore
City.
1.-The banks of Baltimore have
granted one hundred forty-two loans.
Twelve loans have been granted for
Metropolitan Washington outside of
the District of Columbia. No report
is available as to the number of
loans made by banks throughout the
State.
1.-The average loan in Baltimore is
for S43S, and $315 for those about
which the facts are available in
other parts of the State.
so far the number of rejected
applications is one out of four. The
percentage of reflections is decreas-
ing rapidly, however, and it is be-
lieved that it will shortly be not
more than one out of six.
"In addition to the one hundred
and forty-two loans made in Balti-
more City, one hundred and ninety
two applications are awaiting ap-
prevail by lending institutions.
"a private banker in Baltimore
City who is specializing in Better
Housing loans, reports that he is
loaning more than $4,000 week.
During the last week Better
Housing Program meetings were
held all over the State. The largest
was at Cumberland where Mr.. Task
err G. Lowndes, President of the
Maryland Bankers Association, pre-
sided Other important meetings
were held at Aberdeen, Crisfleld and
Annapolis. Meetings are scheduled
in the immediate future for Sails
bury, Pocomoke City and other
points.
"In Baltimore City a Committee
under Colonel Henry G. Perring has
secured headquarters on the first
floor of the Hearst Tower Building,
is reising expense money and getting
ready for a house-to-house canvass
of the entire city,"

FARM BUREAU ISSUES REPORT
ON DELINQUENT TAXES

The Maryland Farm Bureau has
made public preliminary report on
the delinquent tax situation with re-
spect to farm property This report
is an incidental result of study
undertaken some time ago in con-
nection with efforts to secure state
income tax as means of reducing
some of the tax pressure on real
estate in Maryland. The data were
compiled in the Spring of 1884 by
the U. S. Bureau Of Agricultural
Economics and the University of
Maryland cooperating through the
means of funds released by the Fed
eral Civil Works Administration.
The preliminary report indicates
that the total tax delinquencies
against farm property is increasing
at a faster rate than against other
real-estate. From study covering
eight Maryland counties, the figures
show that whereas in 1928, taxes
outstanding against farm real-estate
represented II per cent of the total
taxes outstanding, in 1928 they
constituted 26 per cent of the county
total.
The report also discloses that out
of a total of S,45S individuals owing
taxes on farm real-estate in fifteen
Maryland counties in 1929, 219
Cor 2.6 per cent? owed $4,000 or
more, and that the total number of
delinquent farm properties in Mary
land increased from IL, 200 in 1928
49,, to 1868 in 1928. The num-
Der of acres against which taxes were
delinquent rose from 817,22O in
1928, to 1,46S,737 in 1882. Total
taxes against farm realizes
tate at the end of 1882 amounted to
$1,504,2O4.
''It is obvious" Farm Bureau Of
fcials point out. ''that this large and
growing amount of delinquent farm
taxes is one of the factors preventing
the reduction of tax rates on real
property in Maryland"
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1934-10-12
1888
Estimated.

Mr.. McCusker pointed out that the
totals given out were necessarily ten
tative, since oil companies have un-
til the end of this month to make the
September payments. In addition,
he said, the present totals do not al
low for refunds.
Refunds usually amount to around
100000 yearly, and in recent years
business conditions have caused tax
payers to give particular attention to
their tax bills and seek every posi-
BILE allowance or deduction. When a
tax is protested, the company pays
the tax and if the protest is found to
be justified the amount involved is
refunded.
The revenue derived from the gas
oline tax generally serves as fairly
good barometer of business condi-
tions. 1t also responds to the yaga-
ries of weather, as is indicated, he
said, by the low returns for Feb
ruary. Last February saw an I'M
usual amount of bad weather, wi h
snow and ice surtailing the use of
motor vehicles.
Tho fetal for the year ended Sept.
so, 1898, was S7,606, 6O6.44.
The total for 1888 was over $780,
600 below that for 1892 and approx
imately equal to that of 1881.

@. c. C. TO GO ON INDEFINITELY

President Roosevelt intends to
continue indefinitely the Civilian
Conservation Corps phase of his re-
covery program.
He made this known in a letter to
Robert Fechner, corps director, ack-
nowledging the latter's enthusiastic
report on a recent visit to 125 camps
in ten Western States
"This kind of work must go on.
/ believe that the nation feels that
the work of these young men is so
thoroughly justified and, in addition,
the benefits to the men themselves
are so clear that the actual annual
cost will be met without much .oppo-
sition or much complaint"
