Chairman Norton Appeals to
House Rules Committee
to Speed Action.
ACTS TO END FILIBUSTER
TACTICS OF BLANTON
Path Will Be Cleared for Consid-
Grafton of Red Rider"
Repeal April 27.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

A special rule to govern future con-
sideration of the Ellenbogen rent con-
troll bill for the District was granted
today by the House Rules Committee.
Chairman Norton of the District
Committee asked for the rule to check
further filibustering by Representative
Blanton, Democrat, of Texas, whose
tactics have delayed action on the bill
or the last three so-called District
days" in the House.
The bill. under the rule. probably
will be called up in the House Friday
and voted on under Commute limi-
tation on debate on all proposed
amendments. Thus the path will be
cleared for consideration of the Sis
son bill to repeal the ''red rider" to
the 1886 District appropriation act on
the final District day" of the month,
April 27.
Acts to Check Blanton.
Mrs. Norton feared that if action
on the Ellenbogen bill were delayed
until April 81, the House would be
unable to act on Sisson's measure
before adjournment of Congress.
She told the Rules Committee dur
ing hearing on her request for the
special rule that the procedure was
unusual, but unless some steps we're
taken to check Blanton, the Ellen
bogen bill might never reach a vote
at this session of Congress, and other
important District legislation on the
calendar would automatically die.
eve want a vote on the BILL" Mrs.
Norton declared. "I feel it is un-
necessary to relate to this commit
tee what happened in the House on
the last three District days."
Mapes Fears Precedent.
Representative Mapes, Republican,
of Michigan expressed the belief the
bill had reached a stage where vote
could be reached without this un-
usual rule"
1T might establish a bad prece-
dent" he declared.
Representative Cox, Democrat, of
Georgia, said he believed the bill
should be acted on by the House, al
though he doubted whether its con-
stitutionality would be upheld. Repre-
sentative Dirksen of Illinois, ranking
Republic -..,rIIuer of the District
Committee, voiced opposition to the
bill, but said he would not oppose
granting a special rule. He also ques-
toned the constitutionality Of rent
control legislation.

SHORE GROUP
FIGHTS NEW
TAX SET-UP

ROCKVILLE, Md, Sept. ga
general reassesSment of all real es
tate throughout Maryland as pro
posed by the Western Shore
County Commissioners Associa
ton, is expected to meet with
strong opposition from the East,
ern Shore Association when the
two meet at Cambridge, Md, Octo
ber 10 to discuss a prospective leg
islative program.
While the Western Shore Associ,
alton, comprising IA Of Maryland's
% counties, has reiterated its
stand on the matter and will pro,
pose such legislation at the 1887
session of the General Assembly,
the Eastern Shore body will Wig
orously oppose such move, it was
learned here.
20 Million Gain Seen
A representative of the Univer'
Sity of Maryland, now making a
study of Montgomery county in
conjunction with the Statewide
tax study being carried out by that
institution, has estimated that a
reassesSment locally will add S20,-
100000 to Montgomery county'S
aSSeSsible basis.
The stronger Western Shore
body is supported in the revalu-
alton move by some members OF
the Maryland Tax Commission,
one of whom declared at an earlier
meeting of the association in
Frederick, Md, that unless the
reasseSSment is conducted during
1887 it will be impossible to hold
one until 1910.
It is believed by the local COM
miSSioners that the opposition to
this move as registered among the
Eastern Shore counties is due
chiefly to the fact that low as
sesSmentS prevail in that area at
present, and reValuation would
impose a larger portion of the
state tax burden upon them.
Tops List
While the reassessment is only
one of five major problems to be
discussed by the two associations
during the meeting in Cambridge,
it is thought they will be more in
accord on the others.
Chief among the other items to
come up for discussion is the
suggested return of the mainte-
nance of lateral highways to the
various counties. It is believed
that this will be a more effective
and economical means of main
tanning roads than the present
system where the work is carried
out by the State Roads Commits
sion.
A form of taxation to finance
state relief and a new basis for
the ALLEGATION of state gasoline
road tax funds among the va
rious counties, will come up for
their share of discussion.
