ganization of these bodies,
which have consistently been
defeated in the last twenty
years, could now be put into eff
feet"
In a letter from Alfred E.
Smith, made public with Mr..
Byrd's statement, the former
New York Governor blamed ex-
cessive taxation as one of the
causes of the troubles the coun-
try now is experiencing.
Mr.. Smith expressed hope
that the league would succeed
in bringing all classes of peo-
pie to an understanding that
underlying part of the trouble
we are going through at the
present time is excessive taxa
ton, and they should direct
themselves to the elimination
of every form of waste in the
expenditure of governmental
funds to the end that taxation
may be reduced, capital may
more freely flow into trade and
commerce and that widespread
unemployment be relieved"

DRY WEATHER HURTS
MARYLAND CROPS

Dry, hot Weather during
August reduced prospective
production of many Maryland
crops, according to Richard c..
Ross. agricultural statistician
for the Maryland Crop Report
ing Service. Total precipita-
ton was only about 60 per cent
OF normal and temperatures
averaged about three degrees
above normal. There has been
a deficiency in rainfall for the
past three months.
Indicated production Of
nearly all field crops has de-
elm d since August 1. The
corn crop is forecast at 15,54O,-
600 busl els, a decline of a half
million bushels in the last
month. The tobacco crop looks
as if it would be at least a fifth
smaller than last year. Hay
prospects fell off during Aug
ust and production will be be-
lew average, but will probably
be slightly larger than in 1881,
Little change is noted in the
indicated production of fruit
crops in the past month.

The bonus question is loom

campaign horizon, with the

blow at the welfare of the ma

for propular support against a

CA TION TIME FOR
DRIVERS

School time is caution time
for auto drivers. With the lit
tie folks on their way to and
from school, brim full OF
youthful energy, they are apt
to do almost any unexpected
thing, and the auto uriver
should be everlasting on his
guard to avoid any possible
chance of an accident. Any
man or woman will think
twice before jeopardizing the
safety of their own children.
1t is every bit as important to
be equally considerate of any
youngsters who may crash the
danger zone.
A driver should assume that
every child in or near the
street may dash suddenly on or
in front of his vehicle. You
cannot tell by looking at a
child what it is going to do,
therefore, you should drive
slowly and have absolute con-
troll of the vehicle.
Where would you use more
care than at a point where
children may be? Let school
children be your slow down
signal and tighten your foot
on the accelerator. Let a
school sign mean take off the
gas" School children can't
always be right. Protect them
on their way to and from
school.

A frog, according to Samuel
II. Pitcher of Topeka, who has
made a special study of the
prohibition situation, doubtless
gets the notion that the whole
world is a swamp and that all
the inhabitants are frogs, tur-
ties and snakes.
Like this frog, Mr.. Pitcher
said to a class of young men
recently, many persons who
read wet newspapers and mag
azines are often persuaded to
believe that the entire country
is wet-which, of course, he
explained in detail, is far from
the truth.

SEES 81 BILLIONS PAID ON
VETERANS
Admiral Byrd Says Present
Law Calls For That Ex-
6ifuro Roforo 1OAS

penditure Before 1916
Mr.. Editor: If you could
find space to reprint the fol-
lowing startling statistics from
an article in the New York
Times Of recent issue, 1 feel
sure it would be worth while.
We are certainly confronted
with a decidedly bad condition
as regards taxation,-not a
theory, but facts.
Yours,
Subscriber.
Following is the article:
BOSTON, Aug. 2S.-T h e
United States has already
spent 6,OO0,O0O,OOO on World
War veterans and will spend
$21 ,500,000,0O0 by 1915 if pay
ments continue under the pres
ent law, Rear Admiral Richard
E. Byrd, chairman of the ma
tional committee of the Ma
tional Economy League, said
in a statement today.
"The thought exists in the
minds of many citizens of this
commonwealth that the aim of
the National Economy League
is to attack all veterans" Ad-
miral Byrd said. "The con-
trary is the real truth. What
this league proposes to do will
benefit the great majority of
the veterans.
"The league itself is made
up largely of veterans. 1t is
uncomfortable that such pa
triots as Calvin Coolidge, AL
fred E. Smith, General PERISH
ing, Newton d. Baker, Animal
Sims and Elihu Root could
take part in any movement, as
they have in this, that would
not be fair and just to the vet
Grams.
"These gentlemen have join
ed this movement for economy
in government as a patiotic
duty. The object of the league
is to help end the depression by
putting an end to our wild gov
eminent money spending.
ut is simply that the $14,-
O0O,O00,0O0 of expenditures is
one-fou1th of the total income
of the 120,OOO,OOO people of
this country. The local, State
and Federal Governments take
one dollar out of every four
that the citizen earns. The
country cannot stand this for
long.
by organizing the general
~ inarticulate majority-mil-
lions of voters in Congression-
al districts-this league will
war to bring the country back
to sanity in governmental
money spending, and it will
not be stopped by the selfish
interests which are misleading
the veteran and the citizen as
to the true purpose of the
league.
The league also will benefit
the real war disabled veteran
who is being gradually lost
sight of by the rapidly increas-
ing number of civil life disa-
bility veterans.
"The pension ranks will be
swelled in the years to come by
tens of thousands of these civil
life disabilities and the govern
ment will not be able to pay the
bill.
However, expenditures on
account of veterans are only
part OF the whole story. In
the aggregate the local govern
ments have been the worst Of
tenders in extravaganza. Hun
dreds of millions of dollars
could be saved in the multitude
of Federal Governmental agen-
cies and in State and local gov
ernments if the sound reor-

ORGANIZE TO CONSIDER
DEBT QUESTION

the temporary Craftsmanship Of
| Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., President
of the General Motors Cor
poration, a group of 76 leaders
in industry, agriculture ant
labor began today the task OF
mobilizing practical business
opinions regarding the prob
lem of inter-governmenta
debts in the light of changed
| economic conditions.
| Acting as an "Organizine
unit" for what is to be known
as the Committee for the Con-
sideration of Inter-govern-
mental Debts, the group of 76
have sent invitations signed by
Mr.. Sloan to several thousand
representative business men
and farm and labor leaders
throughout the country asking
Them to become members.
In making public the plan to
iorm this national committee,
Mr.. Sloan explained it's objec-
tives as follows:
"The problem of inter-gov-
ernmental debts is problem
Of dollars and cents. 1t can be
solved only by hard straight
forward business calculations.
The American people cannot
afford to leave a question so
vital to their economic inter-
ests unsettled any longer.
ga question that involves
billions of dollars directly and
more billions indirectly and
excuses an incalculable influ-
ence upon the welfare of our
entire business life demands a
solution based upon solid COM
mercial reasoning. In it's es-
f., sence and in all it's ramifica-
tions, the problem is bust
ness problem and only a down.
right business solution will
satisfy the great mass of the
American people.
There is no aspect of the
problem that will not yield to
ordinary processes of business
thinking. Why not apply
these processes? A solution
reached in this way will be &C
ceptable, indeed must be &C
ceptable, regardless of any
minority that may find fault
with it.
'The question to be asked by
any one who will give reason
ed judgment to the problem is
briefly this: What will it mean
in dollars and cents to Amer
lea? What will it mean in
| jobs, increased production, en-
larged markets?
"lf business reasoning de-
cides that insistence on pay
ment is the best course, that
then is the solution we want
II reduction or even outright
cancellation is the answer
that on the other hand, is the
answer that will be welcomed
"The important thing is tc
approach the problem with an
open mind for only an open
mind fortified by the cool de-
tachment of business logic car
produce a satisfactory solution
to this troublesome problem
We are confronted with a stu.
alton rich in possibilities. Di.
rectly, payment would be q
source of wealth. Indirectly
reduction with the resultant
creation of goodwill and in.
creased buying power, would
also mean wealth. In a time
of depression we cannot over.
look any opportunity fol
emerging into a more prosper.
GUS era. The inter-govern.
mental debts are pre-eminent-
ly that kind of opportunity.
upon it's wise and equitable
solution will depend not only
the return of prosperity and
the future stability of Ameri-
can business, but even the well
fare of the entire American
nation.
Then why not examine it
in this light, with GOODNESS and
detachment? That is the
viewpoint Of this committee.
