rooming houses, inns, garages
and every other kind Of business,
including retail merchants.

now daily hauling barrels of
drinking water from places where
it is more abundant. Their only
local source of water is wells, and
they have long been dried up.
Other accounts told in Fred
erickSburg Saturday indicated that
farmers are offering to give their
cattle and horses away to people
who have water and hay to feed
them. It is feared that domestic
animals will suffer this winter in
this section of the State more
than ever before. Farmers have
been unable to make any crops.
Corn that has dried UP is being
stored in silos in an effort to
keep the animals from starving.

the late spring visitors to this re.
sort began arriving on Memorial
Day and the constant stream has
continued into the advanced sum
mer.
Hotels were preparing leisurely
for an opening planned for some,
time in June when they were suo-
denly swan1ped with reservations.
One hotel had reservations mace
there the day before Memorial
Day.
Owners of amusements were
forced to abandon their spring
painting and open their conces-
sions for the entertainment of the
guests who were coming in.
The early arrival of visitors
was also noted in the private
homes occupied by residents from
Baltimore, Washington and Pnila-
delphia.
Rehoboth has been noted for
the quietness of its retreats, with
the solitude of a backwoods lodge
and at the same time those COM

for their comfort they find at the
more pretentiouS places.
The broad flat highways char

give serious thought to the
Susquehanna Trail, for this

$50 miles to Buffalo and Niagara

this year.
The highway extends north
from here to Harrisburg, Pa, via
either Frederick, Baltimore and
Gettysburg, thence along the
Susquehanna River to Williams
port. Here the smooth ribbon of
highway enters the mountains
emerging once again at Blossburg
and continues on into New York
State.
From this point the best route
lies via Dansville, Mt. Morrisa
and East Aurora to Buffalo. The
boulevard route on into the
Niagara Falls country is espe-
cially beautiful from Buffalo on.
If one is interested in PennSyl.

route to take would be to pro-

a short distance above Blossburg;
thence north to Olean and East
Aurora. This route will present
a panorama of farm land, wood

VIRGINIA BUDGET

Measure Put Through After

star corrsspondent Of The star.

RICHMOND, Va, February u.s.
After but two hours of elaboration. dur
ing which $4,000 cut was made in the
appropriation for the salary of one i'm
portant State officer and criticism of
another caused. his resignation. the
House of Delegates yesterday passed the
general appropriation bill carrying ex-
penditures of over SOL 900, 900 for the
next 20 lStontns. Il had been expected
that the bill would be before the House
for several days.
When the bill, to which several
amendments were moved but only two
were adopted. came up for final pas
sage, there were but four dissenting
votes. those being the votes of Dele
gates Folkes, Cioad, Kelly and Shrader.
Tax Heads Pay Cut.
The most sensational phase of the
passage of the bill was the adoption
by the House of an amendment to cut
the appropriation for the salary OF G.
H. Morrisett, State tax commissioner,
from $4,000 to $4,000 annually. allow
ing an increase of but 81 900 over his
present salary.
There were three amendments offered
with respect to Morrisett's salary, the
one adopted having been offered by
Delegate John @. Rhodes of Louisa.
The vote was 40 to Al. One OF the
other amendments would have st his
salary at 81 500, and the other at SO, 600
In an effort to forestall the adoption
of any of the amendments, Ashton c.
Doven of Williamsburg, chairman OF the
appropriations committee, stated that
Gov. Pollard would not ask Morrisett
to reconsider his recent resignation un-
til he had had some assurance that
the General Assembly would increase
the latter's salary from $1,000 to
$4,000. A poll of House members,
Doyell said, resulted in promise from
~ members that they would support
the increase, and it was upon this as
surance that Morrisett was persuaded
to remain.
Position of Opponents.
Opponents of the increase stated that
they would be willing to vote for the
large increase if there was any assur-
ance that Morrisett would remain as
the head of the tax department., out
that they thought it a dangerous preceG
dent to set. and that if Morrisett was
not willing to continue on his present
salary some one should be secured to
take his place.

Irving Owings, chairman of the Plan
ming Commission, last night at the Feb
ruary meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce of Hyattsville, held in the NUM-
cipal Building here. Mr.. Owings thought
that later the park and planning dis

Mr.. Owings emphasized that agitation

A uniform building code is the most
vital need of Prince Georges County, at

OwingS declared. He expressed the be-

park and planning district should unite
in an effort to gain legislation providing
for such code and building inspector

inforced by competent inspector would
compel construction of buildings that
would make for orderly, attractive de-

It was decided to refer Mr.. Owings'
suggestion to a civic committee of the

Gassed Midland Miners Must Hunt Own Doctor
by a Worker Correspondent

TAYLORVILLE, Ill.-Miners' con-
ditions at Taylorville are worse than
at any other mine in Illinois or even
in West Virginia. No use talking
about non-union fields. We've got
them right here. An empty pocket
that's all. Yes, we see, but too
late! Last fall they cut the dues a
little down, because they smelled
what might come a few months
later. Too late, fellow.
I read the Daily Worker of Feb
ruary 8 about Eldorado, Ill.,, and the
poor conditions there, about laying
off two days and that they won't
recognize a doctors certificate for
being sick. Here in the Midland it
is little different, a little worse.

expense and hunt a private doctor.
The question is if he has got money,
If he hasn't, cure yourself. If a
miner gets hurt in the wash house,
they tell him that the company
doesn't pay any compensation to
one who gets hurt outsid of the
mine.
A while ago I heard of a miner
who got injured, overcome by bad

the hospital for four days, to take
the poison out of his lungs, and on
the fourth day the company doctor
sent him home and advised him to

so that he could furnish him medi-

was "No." He didn't know what to

Brothers, don't talk about bad con-

better don't come to Midland.
An Eldorado miner wrote about
little dog holes every so feet to get

and I didn't see any such hole yet,
even though the General Mining Law
of Illinois, effective July /, 1927,
page 40, section 15a and page Aid
says: keeping refuge places clear.
Well, we haven't any. But we are
safer here, because they know what
they should have according to the
State Mining Law, and that's the
reason that the boss don't let you
go home in case a miner has moth
ing to do in the afternoon. They
know that the miners are not safe,
going home on a single track with
out refuge holes so feet apart and
whitewashed every six months. Look
out, if a miner does not obey the
bosses law and goes home before
quitting time. The next day the poor
devil must ans wer all questions il

They might send you home and I
