SURVEY OF UNEMPLOY-
MENT IN STATE

On Governor Ritchie's in
structions, a survey of the UNI
employment-relief needs OF all
counties in Maryland has been
started with a view to formu-
lating relief program to be
submitted to the next General
Assembly.
The Governor said he saw
no necessity at present OF call
ing a special session of the
Legislature to meet the situa-
ton and added that the survey
should be completed within
three weeks.
Baltimore, which is caring
for it's own unemployment sit
uation, the Governor said, will
not enter into the program, all
though it may be necessary
later to include the municipal
ity in it.
"When Legislature meets, .
the Governor said, cit should
have a proper and effective
program for relief. The COM
mittee is to see what the true
situation in the counties is
OF course, all is predicted on
the fact that counties will care
for their own obligations to a
reasonable limit.
II want real advice on the
unemployment situation from
the States standpoint. -Four
very good surveys have been
made-two by the State De
partment of Health and two by
the State Agricultural Depart
ment. Another very splendid
survey was made by the State
Conference on Social Work
1t will be one of the duties OF
the committee to bring these
surveys up to date.
steps will be taken to i'm
press on the counties that the
State expects them to take
care of their own affairs
There will be suggestion Of
the thirty-hour week for coun.
ty institutional and road work
There are similar recommen
dations that the committee car
make.
1--WE want to get a correc
picture of the needs of tn,
counties for help and the abili
ty of the counties to help them
selves and from that build III
what the State can do"

A SONG FOR TO-DAY

Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland
A song for today, let us sing it.;
An anthem of Praise to the
King;
Gods bOuntiful love coming
down from above,
The blessings of life, Let Us
Sing.
A song for today, let it echo
Over the land and the sea;
The song that was taught us by
mother,
AS we sat long ago al her
knee.
A song for today about Heaven,
Tie beautiful h O m up
above;
With all of our heart Let Us
Sing it!
Sweet peace, the gift of Gods
love.
A song for today, as the sun
sets
Over the moor and the dell;
The evening shadows have
lenthened;
God is with us and all is we'll.

ILLEGAL TO SEND BILLS
ON POSTAL CARDS

The Postal Department has
served notice to the public that
it is illegal to send notice of
overdue accounts on one-cent
postal cards.
Horace J. Donnelly, solicit
tor of the department, gives
notice that such collection tao
tics are illegal, that the law
provides confiscation of the Of
fensive cards in the mails and
for punishment ranging up to
five years Imprisonment OF a
$4,000 fine, or both, for the
senders.
1t is believed that two fac
tors precipitated the condition
which the department is striv-
ing to end.
First, the new Scent rate on
letters which led many credi-
tors to adopt the postal card as
an economy measure.
| Second, the current econom-
ic condition which makes all
persons who still have salts
factory credit ratings anxious
to preserve that status and
i hence makes them peculiarly
susceptible to pressure of the
nature utilized.

WET GROUP ADMITS TROU-
BILE in SEARCH FOR
NEW DRY PLAN

The Federal Dispensary Tax
Reduction League, Inc, an or
ganization seeking amendment
of the prohibition law, said in
a statement issued Wednesday
by the executive secretary, Mr..
F. w. Buck, that the President
has no legal or moral right to
suggest a change" in the
Constitution.
cit will surprise many to
hear that the President has
nothing to do with changing
amendments to the Constitu-
ton, and cannot veto resolu-
tons submitting a change"
the statement said. "He is
elected only to uphold the Con-
stitution, and while holding Of
flee has no legal or moral right
to criticize it or suggest a
change"
The league said that neither
party platform proposes a plan
for changing prohibition that
could be ratified by the requir-
ed SO states.
eve are opposed to any plan
that cannot be ratified for the
reason that if not ratified it
will hold up any change in the
Eighteenth Amendment for at
least Z to 10 years." the league
said. "Our nine years work
to amend the prohibition law
has convinced us that no reso-
luton can be ratified by either
state legislatures or conven-
lions in three-fourths of the
states that does not, first, fully
protect against the return of
saloons in any state; second,
protect the dry states against
invasion from the wet states,
and, third, prevent the liquor
interests from returning to po-
litical power, and neither par
ty platform could or would pre-
vent these evils"

ROAD BOND BILL

Governor Richie has order
ed inserted in the Elkton pa
pers, proclamation calling
attention to the referendum of
Senate Bill No. Is, known as
the $1,000,000 Road Bond Bill
for Cecil county, passed at the
last session of the Maryland
Legislature. After the bill had
been passed and signed by the
Governor, the citizens and tax
payers of this county petition
ed. according to the Maryland
Constitution, for a referendum
ON the bill, and it was granted.
At the coming election in Nov
ember, the voters of the county
will be called upon to decide
on the measure. If there is a
majority vote for it, then the
bill becomes a law, but if the
majority is against the bill,
then the measure is defeated.
Practically three thousand
persons petitioned the Cover
nor for a referendum on the
measure, and the opponents of
the measure allege that they
could easily have obtained
double that number. If the
measure should become a law
it will result in an increase in
the county tax rate from IL to
Is cents on each 500.

TAXES SUPPORT ONE-SEV-
ENTH OF NATIONS
ADULTS

One-seventh of the total
adult population of the United
States is supported wholly or
partially by taxation, it is stat
ed by Mr.. James l.. Donne1ly,
executive vice-president of the
Illinois Manufacturers Associ-
alton. The number of "tax
eaters" is increasing constant
ly, he adds.
Mr.. Donnelly presents tab
ulation showing 7,332,70 gain
ing most of their livelihood
from the taxable resources of
cities, states and the nation.
This does not include persons
receiving pensions, bonuses
and miscellaneous financial
aid.
Every month the Federal
Government alone send checks
to over 100000, persons, he
stated. Mr.. Donnelly is taking
part in a national campaign to
reduce governmental expendi-
lures. He pointed out that the
income of the people of the
United States employed in pri-
vate walks of life has been re-
duced 48.5 per cent since 1929,
while governmental spending
has climbed over II per cent.
at is obvious" said Mr..
Donnally, that unless govern
mental expenditures are reduc-
ed to conform to the income OF
the people, our entire govern
mental structure is imperiled.'
He said there has been an
increase of over 5000 federal
employees in the past year
In normal times there is one
person supported wholly or in
part by the Government fol
every four persons gainfully
employed otherwise, he said
pointing out that this average
is materially higher at this
time when the number of per,
sons gainfully employed has
been reduced.
