MOTORISTS OF MARYLAND
CONTRIBUTE MUCH TAX

Motorists of Maryland contributed
1879 per cent of the States entire tax
revenue during the fiscal year 1885,
it was announced last week by Peyton
S. Cochran, Chairman of the Mary
land Petroleum Industries Committee.
The figures supporting his announce
ment were received by the Committee
from the State Comptrollr's Office
at Annapolis.
"Of the $27O34,944.99 received by
the State of Maryland in taxes
$S,343, 523.86 or 30.1 per cent of the
total sum, represented the returns
from the State four (4c) cent gaso-
line tax levy exacted from the motor
lists for each gallon of gasoline pur-
chased. Then the motorists paid
$3,527, 960.55 or 13 per cent in motor
vehicle registration fees for total
of $11,871, 484.41 or 1879 per cent
of the total tax bill. Of course the
motorists as a special class also con-
tributed over 100000 to the Fed
eral Government in gasoline taxes,
a large amount in federal lubricating
oil taxes as well as many other special
taxes levied against the motorists. 1t
certainly looks as if the man truly
entitled to tax relief is the motor
ist."

From all indications ST. Thomas will
hold the major portion of the shares in
tie new bank, though serious efforts are
being made to put St. Croix over the top.
Several natives of this island have sub.
scribed for as many as 20 shares and
one has taken % shares. The shares
are sold at $4,000.
Hon. Arnold M. Golden is working
With feverish activity to have the bank
started early in April. His enthusiasm
is responsible for the rapid rise of the
subscription in Frederksted.
1t has been a huge task raising the
$50, 600 90. Let US remember, however,
that it is not sufficient that we inspire
confidence in those who would subscribe
to the stock The bank is dependent
upon the depositors AID we must inspire
confidence in them also.
We can think of no better way OF Go
ing so than by retaining Mr. Leander
Henderson as manager of the Christian
sted branch and Mr. Scholten as mana
ger at Frederiksted. They have the
experience and they enjoy the confidence
of the public.
Mr.. Persons will go back to the Uni

would have been achieved. When he
found that the stock had not been sold

 Not So Good.
 With their only 300 hitter, Lou Gehrig, nursing a badly sprained right shoulder, the New York Yan. kees face tough competition on their western junket. Three of the western clubs, the White Sox, In- dians and Tigers, are snapping at the Yankees heels.
 The Tanks open their western invasion with 6 games in 4 days at St. Louis, and have postponed games to play off in Chicago and Detroit. It is possible for the Tanks to lost their lead today if they should drop both games to the Browns and the White Sox sweep their twin bill with Washington.

SDORTSMAN'S SCRApBCQ0K
BY HEARTILY (HUNK)
 ANDERSON Head Football Coach, North Carolina State

Big silver tarpon of Boco Grande, Fla, afford rod and reel fishermen all that can be desired in deep sea angling.
 A fast motor boat takes you to the fishing grounds where the motor is cut off and the boat al- lowed to float with the tide. When the tarpon strikes, the motor is started again and the battle is on.
 The tarpoon, on his first dash for liberty, takes about 800 feet of line. At this distance, the fish will take two or three jumps of eight or ten feet in the air before heading for the bottom.
 As the big fellow bores down, you start pumping him in, taking about eight inches of line on each pump. fingered at the idea of being relied in, the tarpon dashes for, the top again, taking about 300 more feet of line. He may take to the air again, depending upon his strength.
 After working strenuously for three-quarters of an hour, tue tarpon can be brought up where you can see him in the clear blue water of the bay. But he still is full of life, and will make another bid for freedom, taking about 200 feet of line this trip.
 This last dash is costly, as, it takes most of his strength and you are able to, pump him to the side of the boat where the gaff is sunk and the battle ended.
 The great thrill of tarpon fish ing comes when the fish leaves the water at the end of his first dash for liberty. It's great to see him, mass of silver, leap high in the air, shake his head and flip his tail as he tries desperately to shake the barb.
 A large hook with piece cf mullet attached is used in fishin,, for tarpon. It is dropped over the edge of the boat and a lfeav,. sinker takes it to the bottom, about 10 feet below. Holding the line, you drift in the boat until the strike.
 Tarpon are caught at Boco Grande weighing from 60 to 150 pounds. The largest I ever tool, scaled 117 pounds. It required al, hour to land him.
 Most tarpon fishing Is done on moonlight nights. Perhaps d dozen boats will go out at the same time ad float with the itde
