MARYLAND is SOLVENT

Maryland seems to be one of the
few solvent and competently gov
erned States in the Union.
1t ended it's fiscal year on Sep
TENDER 80 with surplus.
Governor O'Conor has accordingly
ordered cut of cents on the hun
dred in the real and personal prop
erty tax.
He is also about to ask the Legis-
lature to CUT THE STATE INCOME
TAX.
All this seems incredible in this
era of blind-stagger finances, colos-
sal taxes and debts in both the Ma
tional Government and State Gov
eminent elsewhere.
Periodically and sensibly, Cover
nor O'Conor says:
1--WE feel that at time like this,
when the Federal Government is
calling on the people for greater sac
rifices, States should do everything
in their power to reduce the load OF
State and local taxes, on their citi-
Gems.
cts not good sense and it isn't
fair to make them wear two mill
stones around their necks at time
when one of them--the Federal tax
burden--is necessarily made heavier"
Rarely do we hear such hearten-
ing words from an American execu-
tive these days.
In case some forty-five or forty
six governors would like to know
how Maryland achieved solvency and
a surplus under Governor O'Conor
they can borrow this recipe from
him:
adopt Pay-as-you-go State budget
Maintain a monthly check on spend
ing, order economies wherever
possible and impound savings at
the end of each month.
"Avoid diversion of special revenues
Tighten up tax collection ma
chinery".
1t might be good idea to let
Governor O'Conor run the United
States Treasury for as long as he
wants to, for certainly if State can
show a surplus and reduce taxes
why cannot the Federal Government
do as muhc?
Governor O'Conor has evidently
been running Maryland on the same
principles that man runs his bust
ness or a woman runs her household

Garbage Feeding an Industry

An agriculture venture of which
little Is known has gradually grown
into being in this country in the past
few years. This is the garbage feed
ing Of hogs. This industry fiourishes
in the more populous cities and near
the larger cities. Reports show that
there are about 100000 garbage
fed hogs being marketed yearly in
this country. About half of this
number are fed annually and exclu-
sively on garbage, while the other
half are finished with more or less
grain. While garbage-fed hogs are
not comparable to granted hogs,
they do, when finished make good
pork. A good feeder will feed his
garbage cooked, mixed with some
grain and before the hogs are ready
to market some three weeks, will
finish off on a heavy grain ration.
This type of hog will hang up as
solid as the average hog but when
he does not finish on a good grain
ration the pork does not set up and
harden and is much disliked by the
dealer.

First All-Blind Flight

The worlds first all-blind air-fiight
was a success. 1t was accomplished
by Maj. Carl B. Mcdaniel of the
army air corps. Taking off from
Mitchell field, New York, Major Nc
Daniel, accompanied by two Off
GERS, four enlisted men and two CT
villains made aviation history" in
a 22-ton four-motored army bomber.
The cockpit was draped with can
vas, permitting Major Mcdaniel to
see only the instrument panel. After
warming UP the motors, he opened
up the throttle and the ship raced
across the field. Two hours later,
Major Mcdaniel climbed out of his
cockpit in Langley field, 300 miles
away, to see daylight for the first
time in 100 minutes. And thus the
worlds first al1-blind flight ended.

COURT OF APPEALS JURISTS
RENAMED

Report of annual convention, held
October 14-16, 1941, in San Meth
odist Church, Baltimore, Maryland.
In line with his oft-repeated pol
icy of keeping the State judiciary at
the highest possible level, Governor
Herbert r. O'Conor has reappointed
two members of the Court of APP
peals, whose work has been subject
to unanimous commentator over a
period of years.
The two judges in question, Judge
Carroll T. Bond, of Baltimore, Chief
Judge of the Court of Appeals, and
Judge D. Lindley Sloan, OF Cumber-
land, Chief Judge of the Fourth Ju-
dicial District, were sworn in by the
Governor at formal ceremonies in
the Executive Offices in the State
House.
The appointments were made "In
order to insure the functioning of
the administration of justice on the
highest possible level", the Gov
ernor assured both Judges, adding
that, 81 can assure you that such
action meets with the approval of
our entire citizenry, as the people
of the State are profoundly CRATE
full to you for the valuable contri-
button you have made to the salts
factory operation of our courts.
''It is stating but an obvious fact
that nothing is more important in
government than for our courts to
be presided over by the most learn
ed, experienced and incorruptible
Judges. The people of Maryland have
demonstrated their desire to let no
Interior consideration enter into the
selection of members of the Bench.
1t is the now established policy to
which intend to adhere that Judges
who have proven their fitness for
the Bench be continued in Office so
that the public would always have
absolute confidence in the integrity
and wisdom of the Courts.

HOME GROWN HEAT FOR
rrr <~- 100

"Hot dogs" with mustard will be
more American than ever in 1941,
judging from the figures ON the rec
ord mustard seed paintings for
1941. The total expected production
of more than IS million pounds is
about four times the previous record
crop of 17,780,000 pounds, says the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Manufacturers of ground and pre-
pared mustards formerly imported
a large share of their mustard seed.
Curtailed imports of foreign mus
tard seed have now put the United
States virtually on an export basis.
The 1941 estimated production is
more than double the production
plus imports of 1898, and about
three times the production plus i'm
ports of 1910
The Agricultural Marketing Ser
vice reports that mustard growers
in the Northwest, especially in Mon
tana, have been prompt to take adj
vantage of the situation. The Mon
tana acreage is increased as much as
$50 percent. Sharp increases are
also reported in Washington, Ore
gon, and North Dakota. Weather
conditions prevented any increase in
California.
Most of the increased planting is
in yellow mustard. In 1910 the rela-
tive production was 70 percent yell
low, Is per cent brown, and IL
percent Oriental. So most people
will use yellow mustard this season
with their frankfupters and corned
beef.

O'CONOR PROCLAIMS Scent
REDUCTION IN TAX RATE

Formal proclamation by Governor
Herbert R. O'Conor of reelection in
the State Real Estatt Tax rate for
the fiscal years ending September
80, 1912, and September 80, 1943,
was being made last week In the
newspapers of the State.
In giving official publicity to the
reduction, Governor O'Conor said
that it was in pursuance of the direc-
ton contained in Chapter 52S of the
Acts of the January, 1941, session of
the General Assembly.
The Governors proclamation an
nounced a reduction of 5 cents on
each $4,000 of assessable property,
for each Of the two fiscal years,
which will bring the rate for the fis-
cal year ending September 80, 194S,
to 1875 cents on each $4,000 OF
assessable property.
These will be the lowest rates
Md. property owners have enjoyed in
so years. Only once before, just
prior to the Civil War, has lower
rate been in effect. So unusual is
this action of the Governor in reduc-
ing taxes now, when nationally, and
in SO many other states of the Coun-
try, the tax trend is definitely up
ward, that Maryland and Governor
O'Conor have received many col
ums of national publicity in the
matter, and many letters of 0ongra-
tulation have been received by the
Governor from various sections of
the country, as far West as Calf
ornia.

Rats Slower Than Humans

Humans are but four-tenths faster
than rats in solving their way
through maze. This from DR.. G.
Kingsley Noble, curator of the
American Museum of Natural His
tory, New York city. In recent
experiment humans pitted them
selves against the rats to see which
could find their way through maze
more quickly. From the expert
ment these conclusions were drawn
by DIR. Noble: The rats were six
tenths as fast as humans in solving
the maze but that some human be-
ings were slower than the rats of
average intelligence, as they made
as many as Is attempts before solv-
ing their maze.
