FIST FIGHT

. HAGERSTOWN, Md. June 9.
A fist fight has brought to q
climax the Democratic factional
fight in the county board Of COM
missicners at HagerStown, and
may have some effect on the
meeting set for today when a
= county tax collector is to be
named.
- The fight occurred yesterday
on a road near BoonSboro, when
William H. Cunningham. presi-
" cent of the board of commits
s'onerS, is alleged to have made
a derogatory remark to Dallas L,
Ward. a member. as they were
inspecting a road.
Ward wallOped Cunningham i'm
the eye, and they clinched and
rolled into . ditch. Friends sep.
arated them.
Cunningham belongs to the
anti-Ritchie faction, while Ward
is a Ritchie adherent. The ten
sion between the men and their
-. factions has been growing since
last fall. and has caused heated
debates.
The matter Of naming a county
tax collector comes up today.
Governor Ritchie named John G.
Bower, jr. of Hagerstown as
State Tax Collector. The county
: previously had named Mac c.
Melotte as county tax collector,
but until today he has failed to
qualify. The controversy as to
whether the board should desig-
nate Bower to collect the county's
taxes also, is a factor in the
quarrel.

WAYS0F REDUCING
TAXES DISCUSSED
One Suggestion Before State
Group Is That State Make
Indirect levies

Devils Lake, N. D., Nov. 16.-F)-
Methods by which the tax burden In
the state may be alleviated were dis
cussed at meeting Saturday Of the
executive committee Of the North Da-
kota Taxpayers association.
A suggestion that state and county
levies be raised by indirect taxation
was discussed.
Disclosing that ttla state now re-
ceives approximately eleven per cent
of local taxes and the county "a per
cent. committee members declared
this method always has caused con-
flict between officers Of the state and
county on one hand and officers OF
local units on the other as to respon-
sibility for the continued increase Of
taxes.
A plan for indirect taxation as en-
ployed by the federal government and
the state in administration OF the
cigaret and snuff law was suggested. !.
leaving direct taxes on land and per-
sonal property for support by local
organizations.
The committee will hold its next
Injecting at Fargo, December 6.

Cunmen Force Workers and
Customers Of Park River
Bank Into Vault

Park River, N. D.. Nov. 16.-(P-
Four men robbed the First National
bank of Park River at lis pm. Monday
and apparently made their escape.
The men made their escape in a
dark Chevrolet automobile with red
wheels. The quartet was believed
heading east.
Two of the robbers entered the
bank and, brandishing guns, ordered
six employees into the rear room.
While the pair rifled the drawer
at the cashiers window, four Park
River residents entered. At the point
Of guns the quartet, Will McEachers,
Axel Larson, Hans Larson and Harold
Sunderland, were herded into the
room with the bank workers. They
were warned to lie on the floor and
keep quiet.
TWO other men stood guard outside
with the cars motor running.
AS they prepared to leave, the ban
dts forced the eight persons into the
vault, locked the door and raced te
their car. They are believed to have
headed east toward Grafton.
The bank workers were released
within 10 minutes and posses took
all roads out Of the city In pursuit
Of the men.
In the bank at the time of the rob-
berry were G. w. Farup, vice presi'
dent; X. D. Bennett, M. B. Holm.

WARN GOVERNMENT
T0KEEP HANDS Off
EDUCATION AFFAIRS
Committee Recommends Rever.
sal OF Policy Pursued
For 65 Years

Washington, Nov. 16.-(P)-Recom-
mendattons for swift decapitation Of
such federal heads as seeks to chart
the course of state educational affairs
Monday lay before President Hoover,
with a warning of danger unless he
acts.
In a final report on two years Of
study. the presidents national advi-
sorry committee on education urged
not only the reversal of federal policy
grown through 65 years, but also crea-
ton OF a new department of educa-
ton.
It would be presided over by a
secretary Of education, with chair in
the presidents cabinet. His Job would
be to untangle "a bewildering sense Of
unnecessary complexity" which the
committee found In the governments S
educational activities.
The new secretary would be bound
by law, however, to keep hands off
state educational processes and to
work for decentralization of control.
1.-THE development of administra-
tive power by the federal government
in highly specialized fields Of educa-
tion," the report said, presents q
threat that cannot longer be ignored.
UNLESS there is an early reversal
Of policy, further federal participation
In highly specialized phases of educa-
ton within the states will involve us
in form of incoordinated centraltza-
ton with evils far greater than those
which characterize some OF the Eur
opean governments. The danger may
seem remote. but 1t calls for our
scrutiny now" '''
The committees report was laid be-
fore the president by Charles r.
Mann, its chairman. It was evolved
by 81 men and women.
BY a vote Of As to 6, the committee
approved a statement that the gov
ernment was lacking. entirely In an
Inclusive and consistent public pol.
icy as to what 1t should or should not
do In the field of education"
BY far the greatest stress was LAID
upon q withdrawal Of federal contro'
from state educational affairs.
The committee was not quite SC
united in approving the suggestion
for a secretary of education IN tne
government. The vote was 8 to IL
with two not voting.
Two minority reports were attached
; to the committees statement. TWO
/, representatives of Catholic education
F; the Rt, Rev. Edward A. Pace, and the
Rev. George johnson, contended tne
creation of department Of education
would cause the very thing the com
mittee sought to avoid-a centrallza'
ton Of educational control.
The other minority statement came
from three representatives OF Negro
education, who asked increased fed'
eral grants for Negro education IN tnt
states.

G.. O.P. Leaders to Sponsor
Boost in Federal Taxation
Smoot and Watson Agree Addi-
tionaI Levies Needed; Sug-
gest Sales Tax

Washington, Nov. l6.-(P)-Con-
gressional Republican leaders Monday
agreed to sponsor tax increases at
this session.
Senator Watson, the Republican
leader who has consistently opposed
new taxes at this time. said Monday
after conference with President
Hoover that boost is unacceptable"
At the same time Chairman Smoot
Of the senate finance committee, an
nounced there will have to be furth-
er taxation"
Watson's reversal was accepted on
Capitol Hill as settling a Republican
tax program.
What form OF new or increased
rates will be recommended Is uncer-
tain, pending further conferences be.
tween congressional leaders and
President Hoover and Secretary Mel
lon.
While both Senators Watson and
Smoot favor sales tax, they agreed
1t was problematical that congress
would approve such a plan.
Increased rates on the larger In
comes appear certain.
Senator Watson would not stat
the presidents views on the tai
problem but the fact that NJ
changed position after his white hous'
visit was interpreted on Capitol Hi
as q sure sign that the admintstra'
ton would recommend new taxation
Treasury officials fear a deficit thi'
year Of almost $4,000, 1000, 900. It Y
known that Secretary Mellon woult
not like to meet this gap by borrow
ing without congressional authority.
The treasury deficit for this fisca
year. however, continues to grow. II
the first four months after June 80
1881, it passed the 1861 .000, 900 mark
The deficit at the end of the last fis'
cal year was $903, 100000.
Members Of a formidable group II
congress have said they think the de-
ficit should be made up by highel
taxes on large incomes and b!
strengthening the inheritance tai
laws through some sort of gift tax.
