September A Dry Month

All of our farmers, as well as
most others, have been complaining
of the long drought that has ex-
tended through September and thus
far, Wednesday--into October. The
ground is SO hard and dry that it
has been almost impossible for the
farmer to get any fall blowing done.
The water situation, too, has be-
come serious with wells going dry,
|necessitating the hauling of water
on many farms.
So far, October has done fairly
well, as it has not only been dry
but hot also, the mercury reaching
SO degrees ON Sunday and 90 on
Monday.
With only slightly more than
three-quarters of an inch of rain
all month, and with an average
daily temperature a whole degree
above normal, September, 1941,
stands out as the most exceptional
month of the year, so far.
Rainfall of rs inches scarcely
more than dampened the parched
earth. Normally, September has S.S9
inches of rain. Last year it amount
ed to 3.6S inches.
OF September's 80 days, 20 were
perfectly clear, five were partly
cloudy, and only two were cloudy.
The prevailing direction of the
wind was southwest.

Lowest State Tax
Rate Since 1861
The Reductions Will Be
Effective In 1912
And l043

Property owners in Maryland will
enjoy. during the years 1912 and
1913, the lowest State tax rate since
1861. as a result of reduction an
nounced for these two years by Gov
ernor Herbert r. O'Conor.
For 1912, the 22-cent rate set by
Act of the last Legislature, will be
reduced to IA ctnts, and the 2O.76'
cent rate established for 1943, will
be reduced to 1875 cents. OF the
last 100 years only six, from 1856
to 1851, have enjoyed as low, or
lower rate than will be in effect
these two years.
The reductions will be made, Gov
ernor O'Conor announced, under
authority granted by Chapter 52s
of the Acts of 1941, an Administers
tion-sponsored Bill. This provides
that il the State Surplus on Septem,
Der 80, 1941, and ON September 30
1912, should exceed by $4,000
10000 all appropriations in the
Budget, the Board of Public Works
would be authorized to apply the
excess to the bonded Indebtedness OF
the State, and to reduce the State
tax proportionately for those years
Prior to the present administra-
ton, the State Tax Rate had been
around 1885 cents per $4,000. A
Bill passed during the last session
with Administration backing, re-
duced the rate for 1912 to 22c and
for 1943, to 2O.75 cents.
Coincident with his announcement
regarding State real tax reduction,
Governor O'Conor indicated that
barring totally unexpected develop
ments, he would call a Special Ses-
sion of the Legislature for the pur-
ose of reducing the State income
tax.
Reductions already made in this
levy, during the 1941 session of the
LEGISLATURE, and made retroactive
to cover 1941 incomes, will save the
taxpayers of the State a minimum
of $4,000, 100000 in three years, and
the savings more likely will be above
S5,OOO,OOO, because of increased in
comes throughout the StatM M
Under the proposed further re-
auctions to be made at the Special
Session, it is likely that every tax
payer in the State will be affected
favorably by one or the other of the
reductions.
Governor O'Conor's announce
ment that Maryland's finances are
in such excellent shape as to permit
these important reductions in taxes
has attracted nationwide attention,
coming as it does at time when
Federal, State and local taxes every
where are on the upgrade. 1t is in
sharp contrast, also, to the picture
that faced the Governor when he as
sumed Office in January, 1889, at
which time borrowing to meet cur
rent expenses, plus large diversions
of gasoline taxes, had placed the
States finances in sorry mess.
