PENINSULA BOOSTING FUND
is GROWING RAPIDLY

With $1,000 secured at the Worces-
ter County Conference held in Snow
Hill Tuesday, February 2, and $1,000
in new pledges secured at the Som
erset County Conference, the total
sum so far pledged toward the sup
port of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Short Association is $46,996.
So far the counties which have
swung in line back of the associa-
ton in vigorous fashion are: Wi
comico, Dorchester, Sussex, Wor-
cester and Somerset, with WicOmi-
co in the lead with a total of SIT 1886
pledged. The Kent County, Maryland
Conference will be held on Friday,
February and steps are being TAX
en- to arrange for conferences in
Queen Anne's, Caroline, Talbot, and
Cecil counties. In Delaware, Sus-
sex county is rapidly nearing it's
quota of $4,000. Preliminary steps
are being taken to organize Kent
county, Delaware, while in New Cas-
tie county the Wilmington Chamber
of Commerce has authorized an an
nual appropriation of $4,000 to the
association.
It is expected that by March
conferences will have been held or
scheduled in each one of the four
teen counties on the peninsula. AS
soon as all of the counties have been
given an opportunity to signify the
measure of support which they pro-
pose giving the movement, steps will
be taken to organize the association
on permanent basis and to pro-
ceed with the initial phases of an ad-
vertising and publicity program. The
association will also establish a re-
search department and a traffic bur-
eau.
1t is announced at association
headquarters that when the canvass
of the fourteen counties has been
completed, the program will be ad-
iusted to meet the needs of the coun-
ties which support the movement.
The counties which may, for a rea-
son, remain outside of the associa-
ton circle will not be penalized in
any way, but on the other hand they
cannot expect the association to
render them the services to which
the active supporters of the move
ment will be entitled.

The Bureau of internal Revenue
has issued an analysis of collections
on account of enforcement of the
prohibition and narcotic laws. Com
parison for 1924 and 1925 shows lit
tie change in the amount of tax
penalties, etc.
The Public Printer has not en-
deared himself to certain members
of Congress by his expose this week
of the high cost of authorship. This
government official, who is some
what removed from congressional
pressure, declares that alterations
of printed proofs have caused much
unnecessary expense and needless
trouble to the Printing Office. The
cost of authors alterations for the
year 1925 amounted to $220,S27, an
increase of approximately $4,000
over the previous year. A large por-
ton of this expense is due to mem-
bers of Congress using poor gram
mar in their speeches and substitu-
ton of "after-thoughts" just as
though they were made on the floor
of the House. There is another
group of writer's, especially techn-
ical men, who cannot make up their
minds definitely and consequently
change their manuscripts frequent
ly.
The Public Printer also criticizes
the tendency of members of con-
gress to distribute without charge
government publications. He has
recommended that the distribution
of practically all government publi-
cations should be put on a sales
basis and everyone thus given equal
consideration in the supply of pub
lie documents. There is talk in Con-
gress and in the government depart
ments about economies but nobody
seriously considers the restriction
of speeches or government propa-
ganda.
1t is astounding to note that near
ly three million obsolete and useless
comics of government documents or
dered by departments in former
years had to be disposed of in 1925.
It is stated that millions more will
have to be consigned to the scrap
heap year after year if the present
free distribution continues. 1t re-
quired considerable time to wipe /
out the free distribution of seeds as
a congressional gratuity for "the
dear constituents" Obviously, an
other period must elapse before the
taxpayers have their wastebaskets
aree from canned speeches and gov
eminent tracts on subjects in which
he average person has no interest
1t all. It is a well known fact that
,nce a useful citizen is elected to
Congress he soon acquires the hab-
t of being lavish in words and mig
gard in deeds. There are exceptions
of course.
