Delegate Szamski spoke for more

Delegate McKenrick, Baltimore, in
quired if the Federal Government had
not appropriated billions for veteran
relief.
'They have appropriated all right"
Szamski replied, appropriated for the
benefit of officeholders."
Delegate Lindsay, Democratic floor
leader and chairman of the committee
which returned the unfavorable re-
port, recalled that the Court of APP
peals declared a referendum held on
the question in 1880 void. Szamski
said he didn't like to say the Court
of Appeals is not honest" but he be-
lieved the present bill would be all
right. .-...
Cost Would Hit Veterans
Lindsay declared also that the So
100000 loan over a period of fifteen
years would amount to about SIS in
taxes on every resident of the State,
to which Szamski replied, "they ought
to pay it." The floor leaders replied
that the very people Szamski would
help by his bill would be the ones
most affected by it's cost. Most veter-
ans, he said, are now buying homes
and in the next fifteen years they
would pay dearly for any benefits they
might derive from provisions of the
measure.
Armistice Day School Closing De-
feated

of the committee, said the Board of
Education and the schools superinten-
dent both were opposed to the meas
ure and pointed out that appropriate
exercises in the schools are provided
for by law for the day.

SCOUTS IDEA THAT G. O.P.
WOULD AID GOV. RITCHIE
TAFT Says Maryland Republicans
Would Oppose State Executive
For President of u. S.
SENATE BACKS HOUSE

While the State Senate was backing
the House in urging Governor Richie
to become a candidate for the Presi-
dency, Galen L. TAFT was issuing a
statement declaring Maryland Repub-
licans would deny the Governor their
support because of "his contempt for
the Jeffersonian principle of rotation
in office" and his "antagonism to the
Federal Nation"
The Senate on Friday by vote of
10 to 1 adopted the Goodman resolu-
ton urging the Governor to become a
candidate. In commenting on similar
action taken by the House Thursday,
Mr.. TAFT said the vote was viva voce,
which left no record that Republican
members had voted either for or
against the measure.
Mr.. TAFT, who is chairman of the
State Central Committee, said:
eve would certainly not favor for
President a man whom we had oppos-
ed four times for Governor"
Makes Formal Statement
Mr.. TAFT made his views public in a
formal statement, which follows:
"My attention has been directed to
press statements to the effect that
the Maryland House of Delegates had
unanimously voted in favor of the res
olution commencing Governor Richie
for his stand on States rights and
his opposition to centralized Federal
authority and indorsing his candidacy
for the Democratic nomination and
election as President of the United
States.
II may say that Mr.. Ritchie's own
cherished reorganized administration
in Maryland is fragrant example of
that decentralization in Govern
ment from which he diverts attention
by alleging it's existence in the Fed
eral Government. ~.
Criticizes Annapolis Action
81 do not recognize the right of
Governor Ritchie's friends to set up a
canon governing the observance, of
State pride which would compel the
Republican party to subordinate its
own political views because propos-
ed candidate of the opposition party
might come from our State.
"The vote taken on the resolution
at Annapolis was not recorded but
viva voce. vote. The Republicans
present, therefore, are not recorded as
voting either for or against the reso-
luton, which, in any event, cannot
bind the Republicans of the State.
Interprets G. O. P. Views
eff 1 may assume to interpret the
views of Maryland Republicans on
the question of the support of Mr..
Richie for the Democratic nomination
for President, 1 would observe that
we would certainly not favor for Pres
ident man whom we had opposed
four times for Governor. We Repub-
licans would oppose Mr.. Richie for
President not only by reason of his
contempt for the Jeffersonian prin-
ciple of rotation in high executive. Of
flee, but also by reason of his attempt
ed reincarnation of the dead princi-
pies of John C. Calhoun, as we'll as for
Governor Ritchie's antagonism to the
Federal nation, whose Constitution we
respect and whose flag we revere.
Moreover, the Democratic nomina-
ton for President is wholly Demo-
cratic matter, to be settled by the
Democrats of Maryland and the ma

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, Oct. 3.-P>-Heavy liq-
uidation from several sources crumbl-
ed the security markets this week,
creating an atmosphere Of pessimlsm
many observers felt was not wholly
justified by events in other directions.
Much selling was attributed to for
eign holders of American securities
who were eager to repatriate their
funds. Thus, while stock and bond
prices declined here, foreign exchange
rates firmed.
There has been, Of course, little or
no change in the business picture and
the fourth quarter opens with hopes
for real improvement postponed until
next year. Bank failures, wage re-
auctions and adverse dividend n
nouncements continue to accentuate
the pains of d~eflation, but however
distressing such news may be, 1t rep
resents no new turn in affairs. There
is Immediately ahead a period of
third quarter earnings which are ex-
pected to be the poorest OF the de-
preston. To what extent the stock
market has been able to do its usual
discounting of these reports is prob
lematical; in Wall Streets opinion
they will represent something OF a
test.
Loss of gold is regarded by bank
ers as a constructive development.
The railroads figured prominently
In the weeks news, for the Interstate
Commerce Commission finished its
hearings on the rate petition and lead
ing eastern roads, after eight years
tol intermittent negotiation, finally
agreed on a four-system merger plan.
Structural projects continue to feed
orders into the steel plants, but oper-
ations OF that industry hover around
