Farm Bureau Head
Urges Real Estate
Tax Value Survey
Farmers Should Weigh Present
Inequalities In Assessment
Against Cost In 1887

Study of present assessed valuation
of real estate for tax purposes is be-
ing urged by President H. H. Nuttle
of the Maryland Farm Bureau in q
message to all County Farm Bureaus
of the state, it has been announced
from the state office of the organiza-
tion in Baltimore. The request is
made by the Farm Bureaus presi-
dent in order that organized farmers
may present their wishes before the
coming session of the Maryland Leg
islature which will have the question
to consider.
"a general reassessment every five
years is required by Maryland law"
according to Mr.. Nuttle's letter to
the 20 County Farm Bureaus of
Maryland. "The legislature of 1888
postponed a general reassessment un-
til 1887. This was an economy meas
ure to save the cost of assessment
which amounted to $3.50, 900 in 1928 in
the state and proportionate amounts
in the counties. Unless legislation is
again passed to postpone the assess
ment it will be required in 1897
Mr.. Nuttle's request to the county
units of his organization is in line
with recommendation of tn e state
tax committee of Grange and Farm
Bureau which is drawing up the pro-
gram of tax legislation that farmers
will support at Annapolis. The COM
mittee points out that delay in reas-
sessment has brought considerable in
equality in assessed valuations and
present sales value. Various coun-
ties run from SO to 123 percent i'll
present actual value as compared to
assessed valuation, and it is thought
by committee members that varia-
tions wi t hin counties are even
greater.
The final report of the tax commit
tee will be presented to annual meet.

reau in December and January, Mr..

Social Security
introduced To All
Nations Employers
Both Employer And Employee
To Pay One Per Cent For
Next Three Years

Monday marked the introduction of
the Social Security Act to nearly all
employers throughout the county, ac-
cording to reports from the various
postmasters whose job it was to de-
liver the SS-4 forms calling for in
formation concerning the type of bust
ness engaged in, number of persons
employed and other questions peril
nent to the issuance of an identified
ton number for each employer.
Before nightfall, many employers
had filled in the blanks and the sign
ed cards were back in the hands of
the postmasters. Nearly half of the
employers in the county are said to
have returned the cards and post
masters are urging the rardy ones 70
have the matter attended to before
the return deadline this Saturday.
The cards may be returned by
handing them to the rural carriers on
the routes, they may be taken to the
postoffices, or they may be mailed in
a sealed envelope-without a stamp
marked Postmaster, Local."
Some employers were confused this
week by the receipt Of two different
forms pertaining to the Social Sc
curity Act. The first form, known
as SS-4, referred to in the foregoing
paragraphs, pertains only to listing
the number of employees who will be
eligible to participate in the old-age
pension benefit system which pro-
vides for retirement payments from
the Federal Government to qualified
persons, beginning at the age of IS.
The second form, number $40, was
sent by the Collector of Internal
Revenue-similar to an income tax re-
turn-and applies only to the unem-
ployment insurance section of the Act.
On November "a the postmasters
throughout the country will distri-
butte to the employees through their
Form S.S.-5, which when
properly filled out will supply all
basic identifying information regard.
ing each employee. Treasury regula-
tions require that these forms, which
will provide for application for ac-
count number, must be completed
and returned to the postmaster not
later than December 5, 1886.
The taxes called for in this law
will be paid by bLcn the employer
and employee. For the next three
years each will pay one per cent of
each dollar earned by the employee.
This rate will be increased by one
half cent every three years until be-
ginning in 1949 both employer and
employee will pay three cents on
each dollar earned. That is the high
est rate to be paid.

Total cost to dealer 4.

AS indicated above, the price deal
ers will actually pay averages 1855
compared with $3.O8 prior to the
price increase.
Milk that is not NEEDED is returned
by the dealers to the Association who
sells it for manufacturing purposes
at the highest possible price either
to ice cream manufacturers in Wash
ington or in outside cities.
Thus, the Association has available
to distribute to it's membership all
tthe money received from dealers for
all the milk used by them at 1885
and in addition all the money result,
ing from the sale of milk or cream
not used by dealers but sold for man
ufacturing purposes.
The total proceeds from all milk
is distributed to members as follows
Producers receive 1924 per hundred
weight plus permiums 70 base deliv-
eriers. AS the average premium is
$.35 per hundredweight producers re-
ceive an average of $3.50 per hunded-
weight ($S.24 plus $.S5) for milk de-
livered as base. The price for milk
delivered in excess of base will, of
course, depend upon the amount of
money left after payment for ba e
has been made.
As the price for base was formerly
$3.02 and the new price only 1924
the question naturally arises, There
is the Ate increase? The difference
is accounted for in the new base-rat-
ing scheme as outlined below:
The bases Of procedure for the re-
nlainder of this year will be 900 Of
their average shipments during Oc-
tober, November and December Of
1886. The plan previously in effect
only gave base on 1870 of the av'
erage shipments during 1895 fall
Thus, the increase in base from 75%s
to 90P6 accounts for the remainder
Of the Ate increase.
Bases for the year 1887 will bs
based on 90qS Of the average ship
ments during both the fall Of 1885
and 1885.
Producers just beginning to shiE
on the market must ship at least
two months and a fraction Of the
third at the excess price for all thei,
milk. At the end Of this period
they will b placed on . par with al
other produeeTs.

in not only the impressive beauty

mechanical features is being follow
ed again by the hundreds of exhibit
ors and the various cut-away chassis,
those peculiar vehicles which reveal
the innermost secrets of operation
will again by the focal spots at
which neck-craning crowds will hover.
And while the mechanically mind
ed folk cluster about the lecturers,
others will recline comfortably in
the cars themselves and comment on
the roominess of the bodies, many of
which are said to be so new that not
a single die used in the 1885 body
production is utilized in the manu-
facture of the new 1887 cars.
In contradiction to the built-in
speed and power of the new cars is
the tremendous attention given to
the safety factors particularly the
ability of the car to come to a
prompt, safe stop.

New Developments In
Milk Market Traced
Continued from page y

presented at this hearing the Secre-
tary of Agriculture approved tn c
amendment providing for an increase
IN price of Ate per hundredweight.
However, simultaneously with the
Secretary's approval, decision was
given by Judge Luhring, granting an
injunction to the eleven producers
who contested the Order.
Thus, on October 9th the Wash
ington milk producer found himself
in the position of being deprived of
a much needed price increase and a
much needed orderly market; all of
which was due to the action of elev-
en-, or less than ten per cent of all
the producers.
However, instead of accepting the
apparent effect of the Courts decis-
ion, the producers, through the As
sociation, demanded that all dealers
purchasing milk from Association
members pay Ate per hundredweight
more for their milk effective Novem-
be l, 1886. Not only did the dealers
buying from the Association raise
their price but the independent deal
ers did likewise. Again the organ
lied producers saved the market, de-
spite the will of distributors and the
unwilling action of a few indepen-
dent producers. The eleven produc-
ers who were in such a hurry to
break the Federal Order that had
been sponsored by the Association
are now receiving four cents more
per gallon because the Association
refused to stand by idly and see
ninety-nine percent of the producers
suffer as a result of the misguided
action of one percent.
ma For your information, we are set
ting forth below as briefly as posi-
BILE, the pricing and base arrangement
that is being used by the Association
effective November 1, 1886.
Dealers pay the Association 1924
per hundredweight (4.03o milk fob.
Washington for all milk retained in
their plant irrespective of usage, and
in addition, pay premiums for Health
Department scores on base deliveries
of the producers. 1t is so provided
that base deliveries will each month
equal ninety percent of all milk re-
tanned by dealers. Thus, dealers will
pay 1924 plus premiums on ninety
percent of what they keep and 1924
without premiums on the remaining
ten percent that they keep. The av-
erage premium on the market is 35c
per hundredweight. Thus, 100 pounds
OF milk used by dealers now costs as
follows:
Base deliveries 80 lbs. at $3.50
($3.24 plus $3.50 5)..... 1925
