FOES Of BLUE
LAW REPEAL
ASK VETO
Governor Tells Lords Day
Alliance That Voters Can
Be Trusted to Do Right Thing

ANNAPOLIS, April 1.-THE
fate of the Michael-Melvln blue
law repeal measure is in the
hands of the Baltimore voters,
Governor Ritchie has informed
opponents of the bill.
After listening to attacks on
the bill which occupied the lime
light during the sessions Of the
State assembly the Governor yes
terday. made the statement that
the ultimate responsibility for
whatever might follow his sign
ing Of the measure goes back to
the people of Baltimore. He
said:
"The bill does not change the
existing Sunday law by one
iOta, and it does not liberalize
that law. 1t is simply an enab-
ling act which gives authority
to the people of Baltimore to
decide for themselves at the
polls whether they do or do
not want any change in the
blue laws.
Il regard the people of my
home city as highly as the
speakers before me and I be-
heve that they can be trusted
to see that any changes they
might make in the Sunday laws
for Baltimore would in no way
impair the reverence which all
Of us attach to the Sabbath"
Arguments for the veto of the
measure were presented by
Joshua Levering, president of the
Lords Day Alliance, and Dr. w.
w. Davis, secretary. They main
tanned that the measure is un-
constitutional because the State
court of appeals had declared the
Sunday law to be a State law
and the legislature could not
delegate power to a single politi-
cal unit.

$4,000 IN DOPE
CACHE SEIZED

WESTCHESTER, April II.
The secret cache of a dope ring
operating in this city, Chester
and Wilmington was discovered
by two Federal narcotic agents
in a woods near here.
Narcotics valued at more than
$4,000 we're confiscated and one
man arrested.
He is Philip Giunta, 81, of
Chatwood At a hearing before
United States Commissioner j.
Howard Patterson in Philadelphia,
he was held in $4,000 bail for
the Federal grand jury.
That the ring is we'll organized
and powerful was shown by the
fact that Giunta experienced no
trouble in quickly obtaining bail.
Agents Eddie Schmit and C.
McFadden made the arrest. Ac-
cording to the agents, they be-
came acquainted with Giunta
some time ago and posed as ad-
diets in order to obtain buys"

Soaking the Public

Ex-President Coolidge. in his daily writ ings. propounds some hard questions for the politicians to answer. He recently pointed out the simple fact that when Congress passes laws for spending money, the people have to pay for them. Also. when Congress creates deficit, the people pay, not the men who pass the law-.
 The smaller the business and the smaller the income. the harder the tax load hits it. The small earner and the small business. in paying rent and buying supplies, are charged with all the taxes that accumulate on land and manufactured goods. So. when single Congress appropriates SlO.2OO, 0OO,OO during one session. as did the last one, the man on the street the taxpayer and voter = is the one who will ultimately dig up the money to pay the bill
 It makes no difference how we'll the poli- tieians camouflage their tax-raising schemes as assessments against the wealthy, as inher itanee taxes. intangibles taxes. excise taxes, special taxes or what-not the laborng men and women will feel the effect in higher prices. higher rents. depressed business. fewer jobs. lower wages or actual lack of em- ployment.
 Tax money does not grow on trees It comes out of the pockets of the people. You can't soak" corporation without soak ing" the consumer. and you can't soak" the consumer without soaking the eorpor- ation in both cases you soak the buy ing power of the nation and tend to cause depression and stagnation.

The Suckers Revolt

In most states, there IS absolutely no ex- cuse for further increases in the gasoline tax. As matter of fact, tax decreases would be more in order. Twenty one states levy no general property taxes and make no appro- priations from general funds for roads. In the 27 other states road taxes collected in this manner total less than 10 per cent of the state highway funds The owners of motor vehicles pay almost all of the money used for roads. And it must be remembered that good roads are of general benefit to everyone, whether or not they own a car.
 Every time the motorist pays a dollar for gasoline. about 20 cents. on the average. goes to the state. In some instances, when low gas prices are in effect, the tax amounts to forty per cent or more of the cost of motor fuel. No other special tax assumes such significance in our economic life. Yet it is suggested, in state after state. that rates be boosted again.
 A fair gas tax. all of which is used for roads, is good thing, but the merit of this IS being rapidly lost by unjustlfied increases and by diversion of tax funds for other pur- poses. Those who say that "one cent more won't make an difference may have occas- ion to change their minds in the near future. he motorists a term which. in one way or another. embraces majority of the vot ing public show signs that they are growing tired of being made the suckers whenever it is desirable to increase tax revenues.

power of collective bargaining. It has, as we'll benefited the consumer by standard izing and improving the quality of milk to the point where it is said that New Works milk supply is unexcsled anywhere in the world.
 The nation. of course. needs little eneour- agement to use diary products There is hardly home where their necessity and value is unappreciated But rising eonsump- ton of milk does not necessarily mean rising profits for the farmers who sell it. As rule. the single farmer selling his product to some great distributing organization. takes what he can get. On the other hand. thousands of farmers. selling together. are in a position to obtain and maintain fair price. Cooperative marketing - which is another name for mass distribution can do for agriculture what it has done for multitude of other leading American in- dustries.

A FIELD OF WHITE CLOVER
Christian Science Monitor)


 Glover Is the very herb for in- dolence. White clover. 1t should be, honey scented, with the brown bees tumbling into it. The earth herself is sweeter for white clover. and though she gives of her strength to 1t, the earth has cer- tain fullness of peace for her re- ward. To rest in white clover, af- ter a country mile, and watch the river strive to bear its burden of clouds away. is uncommonly satis- flying and complete. It is the per lection of q gentle and altogether harmless vagabOndage. There ought 10 be bobwhite calling somewhere--the very voice for the clover.
 However sultry the day may be. with the valley all windIess, the stems of white clover will be cool. As though the grateful and benev- olent flower drew surely from se- cret springs. and made haven for the diverse and innumerable small things that dwell, when 1t is noon and the sun full grown, at the damp and comforting roots of the clover. It is that same scented coolness, in It's minor way, that purple canyons have and shadowy brooks with watercresses. But you must be near 1t, your cheek to the clover. to have this knowledge. And though 1t is the better for such shade as tree will cast. this gracious property of white clover is readily to be discerned in the untempered radiance of the day.
 The very herb for indolence--- and for true fragrance also. It calls to the tame bees that have their hive in the farm yard. and it calls to the wild bees that are sent from q hollow elm by the river. There Is no fragrance quite like to it. In flowers. for this is the veritable odor of honey, and the small breeze that is laden with 1t tires from pleasure and lies down to dream. He is the wisest of way farers. and a most discriminating philosopher. who determines that haste is not all the journey and that white clover was intended for lettering.

COITER OPERATION

Fifteen years ago l said in this column: Too

 crations, and too many patients are apparent

 mic goiter in which operation must be consid-
 cred as q saving measure
 If the surgeons are not 50 lnslsteht on me
 ecessity of early operation to-day 1t is be-
 cause the more conservative physicians nave
 taught them better treatment.
 In any case whether the exophthalmic goiter
 paticnt is subjected to any surgical treatment
 or not from six months to two years Of care
 ful medical treatment is usually necessary to
 restore the patient to health. The actual pur-
 pose of the operation in such cases is to de-
 crease the amount Of me thyroid secrcrton r,'n, constantly poured into the bloodstrean Thht lessens the burden on the patients organs, di- minishes the strain on the nervous system ana the circulation. cuts off a part of the excessive stimulation which is driving these organs at such furious pace. The operation doesn't cure. Nature makes the cure. operation or no oper- ation, and nature Is just as likely to make a killing as q cure unless the intelligence of n good physician controls natures ways. Unless the patients condition is indeed des-
 Derate 1t is surely better to sec what at least si xmonths of god mOcdical treatment (and
 medical doesn't necessarily imply medicinal) will accomplish before considering surgical in tervention. At least that's what I'd want IT ] had exophthalmic goiter.
 An important feature of successful medical treatment Is rest I mean scientific rest Some thing like the rest which Is so important in the successful medical treatment Of pumonary tu- bcrculosis or duodenal ulcer mitral insuih- Cicncy. You may think you hho" "HhI Ht" U by scientific rest but If you do you're much wiser than the average intelligent layman' This is q highly technical matter and the doctor rcsourcefulness and ability to achieve scientific Dhygiological rest in q case of exophthalmic goiter is q good measure of his competence to cure
 Even to-day il considerable share or exoph- thaIrnic goiter cascs are not so diagnosed. but they masquerade as one or another minor func- tionaI dcrangcment according to the symptoms
 which hfappen to be most marked. Many pa tienta who have had exophthalmic goiter have , recovered good health without any specific treatment for the goiter. There is q natural
 tendency toward recovery just as there Is in pulmonary tuberculosis, if environment and general habits do not prevent recovery. Surgical aid should be regarded purely as
 a kind of emergency resort in grave or. des- perate cage Surgery never cures goitcr. Med teal treatment K the only cure we have for the disease.
