Urging Congress to refuse to
enact legislation involving exces
sive slashes in salaries of Govern
ment employees, particularly those
in the lower brackets, Harry
King, president of the Washing
ton Chamber of Commerce, issued
a statement saying:
"The proposal to reduce
salaries of Government employees
10 per cent. cannot be justified
by sound or fair argument and
if enacted into law means that
the Government has reversed
the stand which it took at the
commencement of the present
business conditions.
THE need for economy of
the StricteSt sort is contested
by no business man.
Excessive reductions in the
salaries of underpaid Govern
ment employees at a time when
the demand on their slender
incomes has been greatly in
creased are absolutely indie.
fenSible.
"ActiOn Of this kind in a
country such as ours can only
be regarded as a breaking of
the faith with those in the
past who have sacrificed them.
selves for the public welfare.
'It is incOnceivabIe to me
that this proposal should be-
come law. In its present form
it is repugnant to every prin.
ciple and fair dealing which
we associate with our Govern
ment."

ASSEMBLY SURE

ECONOMIES
Finances of Commonwealth,
However, Declared in
Good Shape

BALTIMORE, Md, June ..
Sweeping reduction of the
Maryland State payroll, largely
through sla shing individual
salaries, seems likely to be
undertaken as time for the
next general session of the
Assembly draws near.
Whether inspired by the move
to reduce Federal salaries or not,
several prominent State officials
have come out for economies in
the State regime.
Walter j. Mitchell, of La Plata,
president of the State senate, says:
SALARIES have got to be gone
over and cut to meet the
changed conditions"
Lansdale G.. Sasscer, Democratic
floor leader in the State senate,
agrees. saying:
''We've got to do it. There's
no use taxing incomes where
there aren't any incomes.
There's no use taxing houses
when their owners aren't earn
ing enough to pay. There's no
use taxing farms when crops
raised on them can't be sold at
. profit"
Walter N. Kirkman, State bud
get clerk, says:
Reduction may be necessary,
but not because the State is in
any kind of financial Difficult
ties. It's financial condition is
excellent. We entered the year
with a $3,6OO,OOO surplus, an
amount equal to IL per cent of
the States total budget require
mentS for 1882"

York to Charlotte by automo-
bile, stopped over in Chapel Hill
a few hours Monday. Mr.. Oil
yer had not been back here since
his graduation in 1902, and he

After leaving the University
Mr.. Oliver studied in the Colo

University of California. He
worked in mines in Colorado,

A Too Obedient Dog

Ralph Green Of Raleigh, a
friend of the Woofters', owned
a fine German police dog which
he trained to be obedient. When
Mr.. Green told him to go home,
the dog obeyed without protest.
During the Christmas holi-
days when the Greens were visit
ing in the North they had their
dog with them. One day, as Mr..
Green was getting into the car,
the dog ran up and begged to go
along. It was not convenient to
take him, so Mr.. Green told him
to go home, meaning, of course,
to go back to the house where
they were staying.
But home meant only one
thing to the dog, and that was
Raleigh, N. G..
Before Mr.. Green realized
what was happening the dog had
disappeared in the direction of
the South. He has not been seen
since, but Mr.. Green believes
that he has traced him as far as
Baltimore.
