Attack On Soil Erosion In
State

The problem of soil erosion, a
menace to the Livelihood of farmers
throughout the nation, is being at
tackled in three Maryland sections
under provisions of a 1887 legisla-
tive act.
Developments in the campaign
were disclosed by DR.. T. B. Symons,
of the University of Maryland extern
sion service and chairman of the
Maryland State Soil Conservation
Committee. The legislative act pro-
vided for the creation of state
committee and specified procedure
in organizing conservation districts
whereby farmers might deal with
their individual erosion problems.
Kent county, Frederick county
and Hartford and Baltimore counties
will have districts under plans dis
cussed with the State committee, DR..
Symons said.
The Kent county district, now in
operation, was the first created UNI
der the act. In Frederick county,
farmers of the Catoctin creek water
shed have petitioned for the estab-
lishment of district comprising
approximately $500 acres.
Commonly known as the Middle
town Valley, it would be designated
the Catoctin Soil Conservation dis
trict under the new plan.
The third area to submit petit
ton is the largest yet proposed and
covers 667,5OO acres in Baltimore
and Hartford counties. 1t is known as
the Gunpowder Falls-Deer Creek
Soil Conservation district.
Following the acceptance of
petitions from the farmers of these
areas, the State Committee will set
dates for hearings and later refer
enda will be held in which all farm
ers affected will be invited to vote
on the proposal for organizing the
district.

GOVERNORS BILL BARS IN
CREASE in TAX RATE

Annapolis, March 20-A measure
drafted at the request of Governor
Herbert O'Conor, and presented to
the Legislature, sets at rest all fears
with regard to possible increase
in the State tax on real property, by
providing that the rate remain ex-
actly as at present namely, 231sc
per hundred dollars.
Biennially, when the members of
the General Assembly consider the
matter of tax levying for the en-
suing two years, agitation arises
from various sources for an increase
in the State tax rate, and invari-
ably one of the chief reasons adj
vanced is the ease with which an in
creased amount may be raised by
this method. However, Governor
O'Conor long ago announced himself
as definitely opposed to any such in
crease, which he feels might we'll be
ruinous to farm lands, homes and
business property now already SER
verely encountered, and the measure
he sponsors practically makes it
certain that there will be no in
crease now.
Among the social legislation spon-
sored by Governor O'Conor which
has received little publicity, but is
being quietly advanced towards
passage in the Assembly, are bills
of the utmost Importance to various
groups of unfortunates within the
particularly the old, the
needy blind, and dependent children.
During his campaign, and in his in
augural address the Governor prom
ised to give immediate attention to
their wants, and the bills now in
process of passage have the definite
approval of the responsible organ
izations whose special care IL is to
see that these unfortunates are
cared for properly.
House Bill 20, clarifying and
widening the scope of Old-Age AS
ssistance, has passed the House, and
now is in the Senate Finance Com
mittee. House Bill %, regarding Aid
to Dependent Children, likewise has
been given the approval of the House
of Delegates and now is awaiting
Senate action. House Bill 30, to take
care of the Needy blind, has pro-
crossed likewise to the Senate Fin
ance Committee, after winning the
approval of the Delegates in the
House.
In general, they are designed to
offer such assistance to any of the
above mentioned groups unable to
support themselves adequately as
will provide reasonable subsist-
ence compatible with decency and
health"

A Visit To Annapolis

After attending to some business
in Baltimore on Friday my brother
and | decided to go over to Anna
polls and see what was happening
to the Sunday Sale Bill which was
reported as being the special bus
mess before the Senate that day
We arrived at the Capitol just as the
Solons were starting home for the
weekend, but soon found MT
Rowland in the House Chamber and
he did not take long in telling us
that the Sales Bill had been tabled
by that Body. The why's and where
fores he seemed little at a loss to
explain, but was surprised and dis
appointed at the outcome.
In the Corridor we met Senator
Suuier and he did not have much to
say as to why the Senate "passed
the buck" to the House. He did re-
affirm his opposition to the substitu-
ton of the 2 P. M. to 2 A. M
proposition.
We soon saw that more tricks
had been played and the matter set
lied for the present with no further
restrictions on Sunday business
Some other matters favored by the
House await action of the Senate
such as the Fireworks Bill, and the
Jury Duty for Women Measure.
On the way home we stopped II
Baltimore to see Mr.. George W
Crabbe to get his reaction on the
situation as we were sure he hat
been at the scene of action that day
He was quite frank in his Statement
hat in all his contacts with thu
Maryland Legislature he had neve
,een such a piece of trickery pulle
,ff. He did say tho that Ce5il Dele
gates voted right on the question
which is satisfaction. And we als'
are glad our Senator did not yielt
On the compromise but as the Sen
tie acted behind closed doors wha
happened there is not general,
Known, and the bill was finally il

perance Committee for safe keeping
Lets hope nothing happens to dis
| rupt the closed Sundays in Cecil &c
