TAX OF $40
ON AUTO CONVEyANCES
FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN

II seems like hard lines when
agents of the Federal government
should impose tax upon automobile
busses used to convey children to and
from school in rural communities.
but such is the case with busses op-
Grated in Anne Arundel county for
such purpose. George Fox, county
of Education, stated
today that the tax of $40 for each of
10 such conveyanees in this county
has just heon assessed by a federal
agent. making a total OF $500 which
the county will have TO pay out of
the school funds.
Mr.. Fox referred to the fact that
the State authorities do not charge a
license for the operation of those
busses. yet the Federal officials impose
i tax that is burdensome in considera-
tion OF the purpose for which the
busses are used. 1t is understood that
Air. Fox will take the matter up with

PLUCKy BOY SCOUTS
HIKING FROM GEORGIA
TO CANADA STOP HERE

Hiking from Atlanta, Ga, to Mon
treal. Canada. and back again is the
job undertaken as a pleasant sum-
mer's outing by Charles Atkinson, Jr.,
and Robert G. Nixon, both OF Atlanta,
and recent graduates of the Atlanta
Psychological High School.
Both boys are members of Troop 9
of the Atlanta Boy Scouts and are
travelling with a complete equipment,
neatly strapped to their persons. The
only feature of their uniform that dif-
ferentiates them from all the other
Boy Scouts of America is the light
blue handkerchief that each wears
knotted jauntily about his throat.
They left home on June 20 and had
got as far as Washington, where they
were spending several days seeing the
sights and meeting the notables, when
they fell in with j. Guy Thompson. OF
this city, secretary of the Court of APP
peals, who became interested in them
and invited them to visit him here If
they included Annapolis in their
promenade.
This they did and spent the past
two days as guests of Mr.. and MI S.
Thompson, leaving this morning TO
continue their stroll North. They plan
to spend several days in New York
and continue on up to Montreal. be-
side the great waterway of the Hud-
son. Lake George and Lake Cham
plain. The boys say they average %
miles a day. at times making much
more if a passing automobile gives
them lift. If nightfall finds them
far from any shelter it makes no diff
ference as a tent is part of the lug
gage they are carrying.
They expect to get back to Atlanta
by September 20, in time to enter the
Georgia archaeological College, which
opens on that date.

STATE-USE SYSTEM
PLANT FOR MD. "PEN''

Charles H. Clayton, superintendent
of prison industries of New Jersey, at
tended meeting of the State Board
OF Prison Control at it's Baltimore
offices in the Union Trust Building
yesterday and discussed State-use
system plants. one of which will be
installed in the Maryland Penitentiary
next month.
Mr.. Clayton told the board and
Theodore w. Pietsch, the boards ar
chitect, of New Jerseys experience
with the State-use system, the equip
ment and methods employed there and
of the system of records and other
details of administration
New Jersey is said to be the pioneer
in employment of the State-use plan,
which is installed to the exclusion OF
the contract system in the State Peni-
tentiary there. There are about 1900
men in the institution. printing
plant and an establishment for manu-
facture of automobile license tags,
beth of which will be provided in
Maryland. are included in the New
Jersey institution.
Operating with about 40 men, the
printing plant does approximately
100000 worth of printing yearly.
about one-fourth of the volume OF
printing which the State uses, Mr..
Clayton said.
Ogle Marbury, chairman of the
State Board of Prison Control, said
about 80 men would be employed in
the Maryland Penitentiary plant at
the start, but the number might be
increased. The same volume of print
ing. he said. would fill more than half
the need of governmental departments
in this State.
On August Is funds of $4,000 for
the printing plant and s25.000 for the
building to house this and the license
tag plant will become available to the
board. Money for equipping the tag
plant cannot be obtained for several

UNDESIRABLE ALIENS

In an address delivered yesterday
afternoon before members of the Old
Colony Club at the Southern Hotel.
Baltimore. Governor Ritchie adyoeat-
ed the deportation of all foreigners
in this country who could not or
would not assimilate American ideals
and appreciate and understand Am
erican institutions and the American
system of government.
Governor Ritchie talked briefly
about international business. This. he
said. was dependent in large measure
upon the assimilation of the foreign
born and those of foreign descent. In
Maryland alone, he explained, there
are representatives OF 40 foreign ma
tions.
Il would divide our foreign-born
population into two classes" he said.
In one l would place all those in
whom we can plant and develop an
appreciation of the American form OF
government and loyal devotion to
American institutions, and in the
other / would place all those with
whom this cannot be done.
''The first class / would encourage
in every possible way and would well
come them among US. The others
would send back home to spreadtheir
isms and their strange ideas where
such ideas may lie more appreciated.
