Property
And Income
Tax Cut
Elimination Of Real Es-
tate Levy Closer To
Realization

In announcing the further reduce
ton of the State real etsate tax to 10
cents per 500 of assessments-the
second reduction this year, and the
seventh cut in this levy under the
OConor administration Governor
O'Conor re-emphasized his desire to
eliminate entirely this impost upon
real property holdings in the State.
In only one period in the last 100
years, namely the several years prior
to the Civil War, has the State pro-
perty tax been reduced as low as it
is at the present time. He voiced ex-
IRENE pleasure over the States finan-
cial position, which made it possible
thus to tighten the burden of taxes
on more than 100000 property Lold-
ers of the State.
Coupled with the Governors good
news" to State tax payers with re-
gard to real estate taxes, was the
equally gratifying announcement
that individual income tax payers
were now authorized to deduct so per
cent from their payments for the cal
endar year 1916.
The double reductions thus an
nounced represent savings of ST.
425, 900, which are in addition to the
$2,855, 1000 cut in the Governors
budget in January by the one cent
reduction announced at that time on
TIE real estate tax and the one-third
on income taxes.
In reiterating his desire to do away
entirely with the real estate tax, Gov
ernor O'Conor emphasized that a
great start had been made in this di-
rection through the reductions effect
ed during this Administration in the
amount of the States bonded debt.
This debt was in excess of $48,-
10000 when he took Office, the Gov
ernor pointed out, and it is now down
to approximately $22,000,000. How
closely this reduction has been rep
resented by a corresponding cut in
the tax rate is shown by the fact that
this levy is now 10 cents against the
23.3 cent rate, which he found when
he took office.
That the financial affairs of the
State are being handled wholly in the
interests of the State taxpayers is
evident by the fact that $24,000,000
has been saved to residents of the
State in income tax and real estate
reductions under this Administration
while at the same time, an additional
100000 from surplus funds has
been allocated to the Postwar Con-
struction Fund thus making it I'M
to that amount for postwar con-
struction purposes.

RURAL MAIL q
CARRIERS DISCUSS
DIRT ROADS

At a meeting of Rural Delivery
Mail Carriers, held in Elkton on the
night of october 90, the carriers
voiced their sentiments in no uncer-
tain terms as to the condition of the
dirt roads in the county, over which
they travel The unanimous opinion
was that the dirt roads were not only
bad. but were constantly growing
worse
There are over 900 miles of dirt
road in the county and many of them
are impossible, according to num-
Der of RID men. Some parts of their
routes have been closed to mail de-
livery because of conditions. With
the winter approaching, the patrons
along many dirt roads will be with
out mail service. 1t was brought out
ut the meeting that for some time
the roads have been in bad shape and
Following the rains of the past sum-
mer many are wrecked and lmpas-
,ible. Bridges are out in many places
Ind mail service hampered. The mail
men stated tkat they were not COM
peiled to drive their cars over I'M
passible roads and that complaints
will be filed and the position OF the
mailmen recorded at Washington. A
future meeting will be held at which
the public will be invited to attend.

Mary
land W.C.T.U.
Convention

The Maryland Womens Christian
Temperance Union Convention was
held in the North Avenue Methodist
Church on October "a and rs, with
very good attendance. Cecil County
was represented by Miss Bertha M
Tyson, Miss Bertha Balderston, Miss
Virginia Abrahams, Mrs. Samuel
Kennard, Mrs. Raymond Watkins,
Mrs. Robert Given and Mrs. Charles
Pyle Mrs. Eli T. Reynolds was also
in attendance at one session.
The Convention was opened by the
Rev. N. o. Schrivner, pastor of the
church. Miss Bertha Tyson presided
through all the sessions and was re-
elected for another year, as were the
other State officers. This is Miss Ty
sons tenth year, and she insists it is
ler last year, as she finds the work
fery combining and taking more ener
gy both physical and mental, than
she feels able to carry. 1t is hoped
she will find more to help her this
year than she has in the past two or
three. Several members came for
ward to take charge of parts of the
work which should tighten her bur-
dens.
The organization, far from being
a dying one is very much alive and
many new members are rallying to
lie cause of Total Abstinence. Mrs.
d. Leigh Colvin, National President
and guest speaker, gave very STIR
ring address bringing out the fact
that the only way to get rid of the
LIQUOR problem is to "shut off the
faucet" She does not favor the idea
of spending time hopping up the re-
suits while the liquor interests are al
lowed to keep the faucet wide open
with all kinds of insidious advertis-
ing. Alcoholics need help, but why
have alcoholics?
The Youth Temperance Council
was very much in evidence giving the
opening part of the evening program
in a very fine way. There is not much
danger that this age-old curse will
be allowed to go on undisturbed
when the present "Old Fogies" die
off. The Women's Christian Temper
ance Union is in the fight to the fin
ish 1--WE will not quit till the liquor
sellers quit"

Traffic Acct
dents Take Toll
OF Al Lives

Traffic accidents took toll OF Al
the month of September, 1945, with
6 victims in Baltimore City and IS
in the Counties. This is an increase
of 1920 over September 1914, when
there was total of 81 persons kill
ed in the City and Counties. In addi-
ton to these fatalities, the records
also reveal that 1904 accidents &C.
Cured in Maryland during Septem-
Der, with 701 persons injured. Balt1-
moe City reported 100 accidents with
351 persons injured, and the Coun-
ties Ola accidents with $50 persons
injured.
Six Counties experienced fatali-
ty-free month-Calvert, Caroline,
Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne and
Wicomico. Kent County was the only
county to have a perfect acciden,
month with no deaths, injuries OF
collisions being reported
Forty-one persons killed during
September is the highest for any one
month during this year. Traffic fata-
Titles now total 303 as compared to
263 for the same period last year-a
49, increase.
Eighteen of the Al persons killed
were pedestrians-ne was motor
vehicle with motor vehicle and fixed
object accidents 9 each; bicycle and
non-collision accidents 2 each, and
train accidents l death.
Thirteen hundred and four acct
dents reported in Maryland during
September is the greatest number for
any one month since December 1913
when 1898 accidents were reported.
The ending of gas rationing and the
35 MPH Victory Speed Limit natur-
ally caused this increase in accidents
more cars are on the roads driving
at faster speeds speeds too great
for, should we say, war weary We
hicles, vehicles that have been ne
elected mechanically for the past 3 IL
years.
Governor O'Conor, the Maryland
Traffic Safety Commission and other
agencies cooperating in Traffic safety
take this opportunity by asking all
who are using the streets and high
ways in Maryland TO DRIVE AND
WALK CAREFULLY-and as our
slogan for the month, we say, Nov,
Let's Fight A War Against Acct

Five Dollar Federal
Auto Tax

There is rejoicing in motorist
circles over the approaching repeal
of the S. Federal use tax, already
doomed by the House and marked for
abolition in the report of the Senate
Finance Committee.
This tax said George e. Ken
eipp, Manager of the Keystone Auto
mobile Club in Maryland, lis prob
ably the most obnoxious ever to rise
the ire of the motoring public. Key
stone waged a vigorous campaign for
it's repeal on the ground that the tax,
which annually rocked the motorist
out of 100000, was utterly
without justification. Motorists pay
their way over every mile of road
they travel by the tax on fuel in ad-
dition to registration and other fees,
and there never was any logical ex-
cuse for imposition of further use
tax.
I'm recent appeal to members of
Congress, Keystone received assur-
ance of their support in having the
tax repealed. This pledge now is close
to fulfillment, fact which will give
satisfaction to the million of motor
lists who felt they were unduly impos-
ed upon by this completely indefen-
sible tax"

mangled A piece of clothing bearing
his name was found along the tracks
and in tkis manner identification was
made.
The remains were shipped to his
