MTRENCH-wARFARE" ON
FARMS

Many farmers are engaging in
'strench warfare to defeat the Axis.
They are building trench silos to
store the feed for greater produc-
ton OF dairy product, beef, and NUT
ton.
The farmers say they have two
special reasons for using trench
silos. First. feed reserve for live
stock 10 better than money in the
bank, because money will not buy
feed when there isn't any. Second,
trench silos are inexpensive, do not
call for critical materials.

IMPROVE FUNCTIONING OF
STATE TAX BODY
Work Doubled BY Recent Legislative
Acts-Other State Agencies J.
Bettered

One of the many unpublished, but
nonetheless highly important-to-the-
taxpayers, improvements in Mary
lands administrative functioning is
reflected in the work of the State
Tax Commission, recent reports to
Governor Herbert r. O'Conor show.
The State Tax Commission is UNI
der the direction Of William l.. Hen
derson, Deputy Attorney General UNI
der Governor O'Conor four years
ago. and recognized as one OF the
outstanding tax experts OF the State.
The selection of Mr.. Henderson by
Governor O'Conor met with unani-
nous approval from press and pub
lie alike.
The improvement in the function
ing of this Department had its IN
ception in the recommendation OF the
Rawls Committee on Taxation,
which was named by Governor
O'Conor following his election IN
1888. before he took office. The
adoption of these recommendations
has resulted in more orderly, syste-
matte and intelligent administration
of the tax laws of the State. Incl
dentally, it has resulted also in de-
cided increase in tax receipts.
Work Doubled
Additional duties provided by re-
cent legislative acts have doubled
the work of the Tax Commission.
The Legislature Of 1889 imposed on
the Commission the duty Of assess
ing tangible personal property OF
foreign corporations, heretofore as
sessed by the counties and Baltimore
City, together with the assessment
Of the shares of foreign financial
corporations which had not therefore,
been assessed.
In 1871 the Legislature passed
law requiring the Tax Commission
to assess the operating property OF
public service corporations other than
land. Included in this task is the
assessment Of railroads operating
in Maryland. This takes the place OF
separate assessments of operating
properties formerly made by the
counties and Baltimore City.
By legislative act in 1941, the
Commission also is required to as
SEES tangible personal property on all
domestic non-stock corporations and
to collect an annual tax of $1,000.
Finally since 1941, the State Tax
Commission is required to collect a
tax from all Building and Loan AS
sociations in Maryland.
Other Departments Improved
This readjustment and improve
ment in the State Tax Commission is
in keeping with similar improve
ments that have been effected in the
State Insurance Department, the De-
partment of Budget and Procure
ment, and in many other of the ma
jor agencies and departments of the
State. Particularly noteworthy along
this line are the changes that have
been made in the functioning of the
State Industrial Accident Fund,
which latter, at the suggestion of
Governor O'Conor, was separated
from the Industrial Accident Com
mission. This has been regarded as
a distinct forward step in the adj
ministration Of workmens' compen-
sation laws.

his intuition was reliable? Just
because people were on differ

his notebooks. He had left them
