SMALLER ACREAGE OF
WHEAT

If Maryland farmers carry out
their, intentions to plant winter
wheat as reported to the Maryland
Crop Reporting Service, the acreage
planted this fall will be about IL per
cent smaller than was sown last fall.
This would indicate about 351, 900
acres to be planted this year.
At this time last year farmers re-
ported intentions to plant 43O. 600
acres, but because of unfavorable
weather and soil conditions at seed
ing time were able to plant only
100000 acres. Ordinarily, inten-
tions-to-plant, as expressed in Aug
ust, are not fully realized due to UNI
favorable conditions which may ,ex-
list after the time the August reports
are made. However, this year con-
ditions seem quite favorable for soil
preparations and seeding operations
and it is not expected that the acre.
age finally planted will be much if
any, smaller than now reported.

JOB SURVEY IN COUNTIES

All the jobs and positions in Mary
lands commercial and industrial
establishments outside Baltimore will
be listed, classified and defined as
soon as similar survey in Baltimore
is completed.
Announcement that the work OF
analysing and recording employment
opportunities would be extended to
other industrial and commercial CEN
tiers of the State, such as Cumber-
land, Hagerstown, Frederick, An
napolis and Salisbury, was made at
the office of the State Employment
Commissioner.
Officials there said preliminary
report on the survey in Baltimore is
expected to be ready October /, that
a final report is expected by the first
OF the year, and that the investiga-
tors then would turn their attention
to the other centers. The survey
has been in progress since May and
is being financed by a special 81, 600
appropriation through the State De-
partment of Education.

According to the United States
Census Bureau the value of manufac-
tured products originating in the
United States in 1929 was in round
numbers, seventy billion dollars.
The sum is one which almost stagers
the imagination, and the figure was
arrived at from the selling value OF
the products of the factory.
In this time of depression, when
the pessimists tell us that everything
is going to the dogs and we will
never see the sunlight of prosperity
again, there is food for through in
these figures. Surely the nation
which could produce so great an
amount of manufactured goods only
two years ago is not headed for the
dogs. The same raw materials, the
same plants, aud the same market is
here that was present in 1929.
Recovery is bound to come in due
course of time, and when it does
come, the experiences of the past
several months will have fought us
how better to guard our property
and what to do with our money.

The Government deficit and the
question of how we are to pay for
the great public works program inau-
gurated largely to provide employ
ment, have combined to revive in
terest in the subject of taxation. Two
major proposals are being storing
ly advocated. One is an incaease in
inheritance taxes, the other general
sales tax. We have sales taxes now,
Federal and State, on automobile
sales, on gasoline, on theatre tickets
above certain price, on stocks, on
cosmetics, cigars and cigaretts and
many other commodities. Why not
extend the principle to everything
anybody buys? Inheritance taxes
are low. especially on large estates.
Inheritance is a privilege bestowed
by law, not an inherent human right,
Who would be injured by law which
provided that nobody might inherit
more than million dollars, or enough
to care for a dependent widow and
children comfortably?

MARYLAND NAVY
FOOTBALL GAME
EXC|TES INTEREST
Contest In Washington On
October 10 Is One Of
VI Seasons Classics
Other Big Tits Listed,
Three At College Park

Washington College will be met in
the opener on September rs and then
It will be just one battle after another
until the campaign ends.
Virginia will visit College Park on
October 3 and that will be a big as
signment, and all that the Old Liners
will have to think about the following
week will be the Navy, which will
be battled in Griffith Stadium in
Washington, is the Capital City's lead
ing attraction of the season. This
game already has begun to excite
great interest.
1t proved classic last fall when
played at Annapolis. 1t was witnessed
then by an overflow crowd and not
one-fourth Of the fans who wanted to
see the game could be accommodated.
Applications for seats right now are
coming into the athletic Offices at the
Naval Academy and Maryland.
Following the Navy tilt, the Old
Liners will play Kentucky, v. M. l.,
Virginia Poly. Vanderbilt, Washington
and Lee. Johns Hopkins and Western
Maryland.
The Kentucky and the Washington
and Lee games are to be played at
College Park and the latter likely will
be designated as Homecoming. Mary
land alumni and students, coaches,
and everybody interested In football
ut the University are making no bones
about the fact that they are looking
forward to the Navy game in Wash
ington as their big encounter of the
year. Navy will have one big ad-
vantage in that 1t got ten weeks
practice last spring while Maryland
did virtually nothing along this line.
Arrangements have been made with
the Claiborne-Annapolis Ferry Co. for
Q ferry to leave Annapolis at P. M.
so that the people on the Eastern
Shore who want to go to Washington
to see the game will have plenty Of
time to get back home that night.
Interest in the game over all the
State Is keen and no game that has
ever been played in Washington has
attracted as much attention as this
game is attracting. Washington news
papers generally are predicting that
the greatest crowd that ever watched
. football game in Washington will
be present.
Maryland people who desire seats
may geti them by applying either to
the Naval Academy or the University
Of Maryland.

Payment of wages to labor on a
scale a little below standard of the
section in which they are working is
the policy of the State Roads Com
mission, G. Clinton Uhl the Chair
man said in response to criticism
from Allegany County.
In that county, Mr.. Uhl said, the
wage for road labor ranges from sc
to 40 cents an hour, and above where
as the wage standard for the county
is about SO cents, he said.
The policy was adopted to keep
from Turing farmers help to the road
projects with higher wages, Mr.. Uhl
explained.

A per capita expenditure by the
people of the United States of 80
cents annually is estimated by the
Wickersham report on ''The Cost OF
Crime" to be the price of Federal
prohibition enforcement effects.
Selecting the fiscal year ended
June so, 1880, for study, the report
showed Federal expenditures for
prohibition approximating 1.0S pei
cent of its total expenditures for all
purposes.

CAUTIOUS DRIVING

Calling attention to the fact
that more than 5000 children
of school age were killed by
automobiles in the United
States last year S. Edward
Gable, president of the Lancas-
ter Automobile Club, issued a
statement urging motorists to
do their full share in the move
to cut this toll. Thousands of
children throughout Penna.
are returning to school, said
Mr.. Gable, "and thei rpresence
on streets and highways going
to and from their homes gives
rise to a traffic condition
fraught with hazards"
The Auto Club president
stressed the fact that the State
law provides amply for the
protection of children in school
zones. The motor code sets
forth, he said, in Section 1902.
Article A, that "any person
driving a vehicle on a high
way shall drive the same at a
careful and prudent speed, not
greater than is reasonable and
proper, having due regard to
traffic, surface and width of
highway and of any other con-
ditions then existing, and no
person shall drive any vehicle
upon a highway at such a speed
as to endanger the life, limb or
property of any person"
Go out of your way to exert
care and caution and to obey
the law to the letter/in school
zones, is my advice to drivers
of motor cars. Accidents will
happen through children dart
ing out from the curb or other
wise running directly into the
path of the car, no matter how
great care the driver exerts,
but if the person behind the
wheel of the automobile keeps
doubly on the alert in passing
through a school zone, there
will be far fewer casualties and
deaths among school children
from automobile accidents.

WOULD USE WHEAT IN RELIEF.
Samuel X. McKeiyie Believes Food Aid
Might Use Fifth of Surplus.

LINCOLN, Neb., August 10 (P).-The
huge surplus Of Government-owne
wheat would be made available for
food relief under plan suggested yes
terday by Samuel r. McKelvie, former
wheat representative on the Federal
Farm Board.
The plan. Mr. McKelvie said. would
effect economy in relief expenditures
and at the same time help dispose OF
the 200. 900 ,000- bushel surplus.
Il have insisted all alorig. he said,
that for the good OF all parties, most
OF all the farmer, the sooner stabiliza-
tion supplies of wheat are disposed Of
the better. The opportunity is at hand. =
Congress must authorize disposal Of
the wheat IN this manner and Nc
Kelyie believes the Farm Board should
be reimbursed for the amount involved
This, he said. can be done after
Congress convenes In December. as the
corporation can deliver wheat on short
notice TO any community in the eoun-
try.

where the work Is done. the contract
simply Incorporates a reference to the
law. does not specify what the prevail
ing wage scale is.
Recently, Secretary Of Labor Doak,
whose decision is made conclusive
under the statutes, held that as to
painters the prevailing wage scale in
Washington was identical with the
union wage scale.
When pressed for details Of the wage
scale now being paid. Mr.. Hunt said
that Il don't see that it's any of the
public's business what wages we pay.
All / can tell you is that we pay the
prevailing wage scale. Furthermore,
Controller John McCarl has ruled that
there is no such thing as a prevailing
wage scale. He made that ruling on a
job we are doing at Fort Bragg. N. G.
That law doesn't mean anything.
Maj. Holland l.. Robb Assistant En-
gineer Commissioner in charge OF the
District building program. said that
when the wage scale5Iaw was passed. he
had been in favor of putting into the
contract the wage scales paid by the
District government to its own workers
as a minimum but that the ATTORNEYS
Tor the District had decided that this
would be unwiSe, and no specific wage
scale was therefore Incorporated in the
contract.
The law. he pointed out. provided no
penalty for a violation, and so even if
contractor should refuse to keep TO
a wage scale provided in the contract.
there would be nothing the District
could do about it under the law.

DATA ON UTILITIES

Secretary of Electric Light
Association Discusses Con-
ditions During Visit.

President Hoover has heard more def
nitely of the general condition of pub
lie utility business from visitor to the
White House, Paul F. C1app, secretary
of the National Electric Light Associa-
ton.
The association IS working on
a plan whereby utilities workers would
be assured employment for a specified

discuss that with the President since
the proposal is yet being considered by

citation Committee.

Investigation thus far, however. has
indicated the national association can
do nothing but gather data to support
the idea and present them to individual
utility companies with the Iecommen-
cation that such a policy OF a similar
one. be instituted
The special committee win meet
shortly for further consideration Of the
plan, which Clapp said probably could
be presented to the separate companies
within the next month
The proposal eontemplates that en-
