The report shows the amount of
money collected from each politi-
cal subdivision in the State; the
amount for license fees; the per.
centage of the tax collected for
each political subdivision and the
per capita tax collected in each.
Another breakdown shows the
amount of tax collected from each
type of business and the related
percentages. In addition to the de-
tailed breakdown of businesses the
report presents figures by counties
of the amount of tax collected
under each major type of business
as follows: food and beverage; APP
parel; general merchandise; auto
motive; furniture and appliances;
lumber, builders and contractors;
utilities and transportation and
miscellaneous. 1t shows the COM
parison of Baltimore City to the
counties and incidentally shows
that Baltimore City has collected
almost 500 of the entire amount.
The per capita tax indicates that
the low is in st. Mary's County
with $3.50 while the high of $15.15
is in Baltimore City. The State
average is $11.57.
The report is so complete and
extensive detailed analysis
would require more space than can
be allotted. However, some inter-
esting observations might be made.
Department stores stand in first
place with the collection of $3,217-
1864, and in second place tay-
erns, night clubs and liquors pro-
ducing $1,000, 671. Sc. Other CLASH
fications each of which produced
over million dollars are restaur-
ants, $1,690,000; building mater
ials, $1,370,000; light and power
companies, $1,340,0O0. The lowest
amount listed under these general
heads are carnivals, fairs, ETC.,
producing $78O.96. Shown in tabu-
lated form elsewhere are figures
which tell in general the entire
story for the State and for this
county.

THE NEW AND MODERN WAY

BY Merle M. Burket
I'm so sorry Tommy did it."
.Sweetly smiles young Mrs. Brown,
When her darling little hopeful
Pulls the neighbours washing down.
But she does not scold or chide him
As he goes about his play
For you see = they're raising Tommy
In the new and modern way!
In the evening when young Tommy
Doesn't want to go to bed,
On the floor he kicks and bellows,
Till he well might wake the dead.
But his parents pay no 'tention.
Though the neighbors' hair turn gray
For you see = they're raising Tommy
In the new and modern way.
Oh, he gets the neiehbors' nanny
For he pounds upon their doors.
And he grabs their rakes and movers
While they're doing outside chores.
And their fingers grow more itchy
With the passing Of each day
Just to spank young Master Tommy
In the good old-fashioned way.
