MODERATION IN TAXATION
BRINGS RETURNS

It is a recognized fact that mod
crate surfaces would be more
productive of revenue than the
present schedules. Productive busl-
ness is discouraged by exorbitant
surtaxes and capital is driven into
tax-exempt bonds.
There was a time when the small
taxpayer did not understand that
the general prosperity OF the coun-
try was dimished by imposition OF
these excessive surtaxes, and wei
coined a stiff levy on incomes in the
higher brackets. The average cltl
zen is now better informed and
knows that general business cond1-
tions are not improved by driving
productive business into. tax-exempt
securities.
When capital is kept out OF pro-
ductive enterprise by excessive taxa,
ton, this unnatural diversion yields
no revenue to the government and
is costly to industry. man is NOT
interested in risking his money and
energy in an enterprise where, IL ne
wins. the government takes a great
part of the profits in taxes, and IT ne
losses he stands the whole OF the
loss. Initiative and new ventures
are penalized by such a policy.

WEST NOTTINGHAM ACADEMY

west Nottingham ACdu0uy As
about to enter upon one OF the
most successful years in her history,
without question the best year since
the days. of Professor John G.
Conner Many improvements have
been made in the buildings; and the
campus, with it's splendid new golf
course, can hardly be surpassed for
beauty.
Two additions to the faculty have
been made for this coming year.
Among the instructors are men who
have done honor work at Harvard
Princeton, the University of Yer
mont, and the University of Ohio.
The Academy will have depart
ment of Music with Glee Club and

foot ball team, coached by man
who took a special course in coach
ing under St. John of Ohio State
University. The basket ball and
base ball teams will be under the
direction of the same man. The
course of study is carefully planned
to prepare students for entrance to
the best colleges and universities in
America. The requirements f o +
graduation, are determined by the
standards of the College Entrance
Examination Board. Already the
number of students enrolled is
greater than was expected even by
the first of September. If applica-
tions continue to come in as they
have during the past week, some
students will have to be refused
admission.
All persons interested in West
Nottingham are pleased to know that
the dear old school is coming back
to her own, and is finding her place

NO CONFLICT WITH
ANDREWS
From the Board Of Temperance,

From the Board of Temperance,
Washington, D. c.
The statement attributed to the
Anti-Saloon League that prohibition
will never be adequately tested until
enforcement is in the hands of its
friends implies no criticism OF Cen
eral Lincoln C. Andrews. The state
ment is obviously true and justified.
Prohibition enforcement should be
in the hands Of it's friends from top
to bottom Every United States Of
ficialfi whether connected with the
Prohibition Unit or with federal
courts, every investigating officer,
every prosecuting attorney, every
United States commissioner, every
United States marshal, should be a
supporter of the American policy OF
liquor suppression.
Mr.. Mellon, the Secretary of the
Treasury, because Of his associations
and his interest in the whiskey
business in former years was not
considered by prohibitionists as the
proper person to be in charge OF
enforcement. But there is circum-
stantial evidence that, so far from
hampering prohibition enforcement
at the present time, Mr.. Mellon is
following policy of absolute non
interference and of sympathetic
support of his subordinates charged
with enforcement of the Volstead
law. We believe that General
Andrews is being allowed free
hand. Mr.. Haynes should have had
it. Being gentleman and a
soldier, the General is the friend of
prohibition because he is the enemy
of aw-breaking, just as during the
war against Germany he was a
whole-hearted supporter of his
country against it's external enemies.
The frequent assertion that pro
hibition is having it's last trair' is
simply father to the thought. Pro
hibition will never have its last
trial in America, no more imam the
republican form of government will
have it's last trial One objective
and only one is in view: Satisfactory
enforcement. And this objective
will be reached no matter whether
it takes five years or one hundred
years. Prohibitionists are prepared
to fight it out on this line for un-
counted summers, if necessary, and
their children are prepared to take
up the battle for America against
liquor treason when this generation
has passed. from the scene.
Sad as the news may be, however,
to the enemies of prohibition, this
will not be necessary. The cord OF
enforcement is tightening about the
neck of the bootlegger and the time
of his end may be Mechanically
computed. A few more years and
the inevitable will be with us.

ing state insurance departments
These figures do not include casualty
insurance, which in modern business
is becoming as Indispensable as fire
and life insurance
In 1928, policy-holders in the
United States paid more than $751;
100000 in these hidden-and to the
policy-holderl almost unknown-in-
direct taxes; and this amount does
not include special municipal taxes
licenses or fees, all out OF the
pockets of the insured. This $685.
100000 would pay for nearly
$6,0OO,O0O,00 worth of fire insur-

Year by year these added costs are
being increased by the states. The

BALTIMORE CITY PICKED FOR
FIRST DRY WAX BLOW
Plan TO Cripple BoOtlegger
ORGANIZATION


II Baltimore will be the first South
ern city to feel the mailed INST OF
Cen. Lincoln c.. Andrews, Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury and new
prohibition "czar,' when his re-
organization enforcement scheme be-
comes effective, says the Baltimore
Sun in it's issue of August 3.
Baltimore bootleggers have been
selected for knockout blow as an
example to other allegedly wet"
cities or for an attack that will
cripple them seriously.
Prohibition officials here said yes
terday that with Baltimore the
Headquarters for the District OF
Columbia, Maryland and Delaware,
sixty agents will operate out OF that
city. Thirteen agents now operate
there. On the arrival of the other
agents all the activities will be con-
centrated on general cleanup OF
the city and its environs
At presen the agents attached
to the local enforcement office are
authorized to operate only in the
city and suburbs. Under the new
scheme they will not only make a
general crusade against all pur-
yeyors of illegal liquor in the city
but will operate in other commutles-
The agents now operating there
conceded that conditions in the boot
leg industry in Baltimore are such
that they cannot cope with them.
They minimized the number OF
"speak easies'' operated in private
homes. Not many OF these exist,
the agents said.
Their particular endeavors will be
against the wholesaler, the king
who furnishes liquor to the small
retailer, the money man" who
brings the liquor into the State,
who finances rum runners and con-
trolls gangs. The sixty agents may
be split into several groups, one
group searching out the kings,
another after the wholesaler, the
third after retailers and the fourth
to be engaged in ferreting out resi-
dence speak easies."
Despite the determination OF Cen
eral Andrews to make Baltimore as
dry as the Sahara, some agents were
skeptical. They said they realized
the Job ahead of them.
'The whole trouble there is the
REMARKABLE organizations that exists,
an agent said. There is sort OF
wireless telegraphy between the
heads and the little fellow. 1t is
wonderful the way they work, the
cooperation, the coordination OF
their efforts to escape detection.
Baltimore is going to be hard
nut to crack. We close one place
and they open up right next door"
The agents said they were prepar-
ed to start the crusade as soon as
their ranks are augmented and word
reaches the local Office to proceed to
business. When the Baltimore job
has been completed the agents will
be assigned to their posts througout
the district.

U. s. TO PAY WITH So BILLS

Uncle Sam hasn't any supersti-
lions about 50 bills, the pet aversion
of poker players. Nor is he going
to coddle any of his employees who
hold such superstitions. So begin
ming this month the government pay
envelopes are going to contain a lot
of bills of this denomination, Treas
ury officials announced, as one of the
means by which they hope to get the
bills in circulation and educate the
public into using them.
For. money experts of the govern
ment and federal reserve systems
have decided that if more So, SIS and
$40 bills can be put into ciculation
the Treasury Department can save
nearly 100000 annually in cur.
rency printing costs.
The experts, who met at the Treas
ury, declared that the public de-
mand for 81 bills has increased SO
much since the war that where the
average 81 bill used to last twelve
months 1t lasts only seven months
now.
Paper money, like whiskey
should be aged, these experts say
but the demand for 81 bills has
been so great the bills have become
ragged and worn out before they
could age" 1t was said more
than billion had been printed last
year at cost of l $40 cents
each.-Ex.

Six hundred and forty-eight cars
Of Eastern Shore produce have been
inspected at shipping point during
he past two and half months
1nder supervision Of the State De-
partment of Markets and the United
States Department of Agriculture,
according to DR.. F. B. Bomberger,
Chief of the State Department OF
Markets.
Shipping point inspection began
in Maryland last summer Win the
movement of peaches and apples
from the Hancock, Easton ana new
Windsor sections OF the state. IL
was resumed this spring with the
first shipments of strawberries from
the Eastern Shore. Since then the
Inspectors have been kept almpsA
constantly busy in Eastern ShoTe{
territory as early potatoes, cucuIH
oers, tomatoes, early apples anu
beaches have become ready TOT the
markets.
Shipping point inspection, as ex-
blamed by DR.. Bomberger PROVIDES
service for growers, shipper anu
BUYER. All produce is inspected ac-
,ording to definite standards OF size
uuality and condition OF pack. A
certificate. defining the exact condl-
lion of the produce is issued TO ac-
company the shipment to market.
If grower discovers that his
produce is grading low, he may De
able to improve his methods OF grad
ing and packing and thus secure the
benefit of a higher grade. II the
1uality of his commodity is poor, ne
,an avoid the responsible conditions
another season.
For the shipper, the inspection
supplies a guarantee of condition
md quality that simplifies the task
If selling; while for the buyer, the
grade and description of the carlot
ire satisfactory indications OF its
market value.
In most cases, where shipping
point inspection has been in opera
ion for a while, steady improve
ment in quality of shipments has
,een noted, it is said. The result
has been an increased percentage OF
'arlot shipments grading up to what
s known as U. S. No. l.
From the middle of May, when
strawberry shipments began moving,
Until July rs, inspections have been
made at Eastern Shore points on l2S
carloads of strawberries, 449 car
'oads of potatoes, rs, carloads of
;ucumbers, 8 carloads of tomatoes,
80 carloads of early apples and
carloads of peaches.
Potato and cucumber shipments
have not yet been completed and
the movement of tomatoes and
peaches is just beginning. Inspec-
ton for the potato crop is Arevided
at Pocomoke, Snow Hill, Stockton,
Beaver Dam, Costen and Girdletree
n Worcester County; and at Princess
Anne, Westover and Kingston in
Somerset County. Inspections on
cucumbers have been made al POGO
