Heretofore Moscow depended in

WARNS AGAINST USE OF
FAKE FLU CURES

Studies of influenza epidem-
les in the United States have
demonstrated to public-health
officers and officers of the Fed
eral Food and Drug Admin
stration that certain manu-
facturers will take advantage
of a "flu" wave to trade upon
the natural fear of this disease
and attempt to sell worthless
nostrums. The present cpl
demic is no exception to this
rule, says DR.. F. J. Cullen, of
the administration.
The administration, Cullen
declares, has removed from the
market, during past epidemics,
hundreds of drugs and medi-
cines falsely and fraudulently
labeled with curative claims
for influenza and related di-
seases and intends to continue
to take such action.
The variety of products adj
vertised as having remedial or
preventive value for influenza
and similar diseases is large,
says Doctor Cullen, but there
is no medical authority to indi-
cate that nasal sprays, aspirin,
throat gargles, cod-liver oil,
disinfectants, anodyne pills,
tablets, powders, milk of mag
nesia, or fruits or other food
products have any power to
check the course of any one of
the maladies. According to
medical authority there is no
known drug or mixture of
drugs nor any food which will
prevent or cure flu. Conse-
quently, the labelling or any
preparation as a treatment for
flu, grippe, or pneumonia is re-
garded as misbranding within
the food and drugs act, subject
ing the products to seizure and
the manufacturer to prosecu-
ton.
Doctor Cullen urges the
prospective buyer to compare
the curative claims made for a
flu preparation in newspaper,

WARNING AGAINST "BEER'
STOCKS

Warning against question
able brewery stock promotion
schemes has been issued, with
the appearance in the mails of
numerous attempts to sell
shares in this phantom indus
try" That the Post Office De-
partment in Washington and
state officials are watching
these .'getrich-quick" schemes
indicates the advisability Of
caution, it is pointed out.
These projects reveal, dry
leaders assert, another potent
force behind the movement for
Ilegalization of beer. Wet sup
port is sought, they. say, thru
picturing the opportunities for
huge profits in the event of
modification.
Illustrated profusely in col
ors, and attracting attention
with such phrases as Millions
from BEER and "Will you
gamble SIS or $40 with u.s." one
prospectus assures investors
that legalization of beer of a
high alcoholic content, by mod
lification of the. Volstead Act, is
almost a reality"
''The golden opportunity" it
is termed in another circular,
which urges everyone to "get
in on the ground floor" Leis-
ure, homes, automobiles, and
even yachts are pictured pour
ing forth from "a modern
brewery" This particular
group, however, does warn that
1t is a gamble, and notes that
because of the nature of the
business, we may meet with
some delays and disappoint-
ments.''
Other proposals involve Of
fers of attractive commissions
on sales of brewery stocks, in
dicating the great advantages
to be derived Immediately from
the legalization of beer. A
more direct attempt to influ-
ence legislation in this respect
is seen in letters sent to stock
holders of a glass company
urging them to work for repeal
SO that the need for bottles
would increase and the COM
pany's profits rise accordingly.
These promotion schemes do
not necessarily involve inten-
tional fraud, security experts
declare, but practically without
exception are of a questionable
nature.

ment Of the existing one-fifth
cent per ton mile law on
trucks.
Assuming that both of these
suggestions are carried out, the
income would be about three
quarters of a million annually,
far short of enough to carry
out the proposals on schools.
1t must also be remembered
that no study of the tax ques-
ton can be considered intelli-
gent that does not take into
consideration the financial sit
uation of Baltimore City. Re-
gardless of criticism or opinion
the financial stability of Balti-
more is of concern to the entire
state and will necessarily fig
ure in any legislative action on
the tax question.
In short Baltimore City will
need additional revenue. They
must borrow from the State or
get authority for a bond issue
tOtaling over three million
next year. This seems imper-
ative and must be reckoned
with.
While the farm organiza-
tons have always stood for
state income tax, it is obvious
that such a tax will not meet
the present situation. There
is a general feeling among
thinking tax students that a
state income tax is the only
scientific method of taxing and
efforts should be made to get
such a law on the books any
way. Doubtless an income tax
law will be introduced at the
coming session. The problems
attending it are the question
able amount of income and the
constitutionality, which must
be tested.
In the meanwhile we are
faced with the problem of rails
ing money to replace the bur-
den on real estate both in the
counties and Baltimore City.
This cannot be based on posi-
bilities if relief is wanted at
once. 1t must have some def
mite assurance of being equit-
ably distributed, practically
painless, easily collected, and
capable of producing sufficient
revenue.
It is the judgment Of the
leaders of our farm organiza-
.tions that a sales tax of IL
average, placed on certain
commodities and businesses,
more nearly approaches this
than anything else at the pres
ent time and they have so rec
commended.
Next week, in the conclud-
ing article, Mr.. Fairbank will

GOVERNOR URGES RE-
TRENCHMENT
Lower Road And School Costs
Luxury Tax-Cut In
Teachers Salaries

Teachers Salaries
Proposing a program Of re-
trenchment in the State gov
eminent and recommending a
series of fiscal changes design
ed to ease the burden of local
taxation, Governor Richie
opened the biennial session Of
the General Assembly at An
napolis, January 4.
Definite proposals were set
forth by the Governor in his
message for reducing the local
levies of the counties for roads
and schools and for aiding Bal
timore to take care of the S.
100000 expenditure it is esti-
mated the city will have made
by the end Of this year for I'M
employment relief.
He asserted that the finan-
cial position of the State was
such that, in these times of
hardship for local govern
ments, it was it's duty to come
to their assistance.
The State budget for 1884
and 1885, he announced, had
been balanced by drastic re-
trenchment with Scent de-
crease in the tax rate to %
cents a 500 and added that
further reductions might be
made possibly by the lexy of a
luxury tax.
Briefly, the Governors pro-
gram for consideration of the
Legislature included:
Diversion TO the counties for
maintenance and construction
of county roads of the present
one and a half cent lateral road
construction gasoline tax. The
supervision OF these funds to be
refined by the State Roads
Commission.
An increase in Baltimore
city's share Of the 2-cent gaso-
line tax from twenty to thirty
per cent, and similar increase
in the city's share of the reve-
nue. from motor vehicle licen-
ses to permit construction.
Reduction of the legal rate
for county school levles from
81 to go, the funds to make this
possible to be supplied by ten
per cent reduction in teachers,
salaries.
A luxury tax on tobaccos,
soft drinks and chewing gum,
estimated to produce at least
$2,000,000 annually, of which
Baltimore would receive half
and the remainder be distribu-
ted pro rata among the coun-
ties.
A bond issue to take care of
Baltimore's $8,000,000 relief
expenditures, to be amortized
by payments from the city's
share Of the luxury taxes.
Diversion of the one-half-
cent gasoline tax now devoted
to elimination of grade eros
sings to the payment OF State
road bonds, thereby reducing
the State tax rate from rs cents
per 500 to 20 cents.
The Governor also recon-
mended a State bond issue ag-
gregating $2,523, 900 for con-
struction work and for funding
a portion of the States contri-
button to the Teachers Retire
ment Fund in 1884 and 1885.
Funding of the portion of the
contribution to the retirement
system would call for an issue
of $8,000,000 and the Governor
advised that the obligation be
carried in this manner to leave
a treasury balance of $780,
900 at the end of the two fiscal
years. The balance would be
$1,000,000, deemed inadvisable
by the Governor, if the $S,O00,-
900 for the teachers fund was
taken from the general treas
ury.
The House of Delegates vot-
ed to cut the appropriation for
its employees salaries at least
twenty per cent.

Gold

The more people argue about gold, the
less they seem to get anywhere. This most
desired of metals remains in spite of eco
nomic explanations, mystery. 1t seems
to be commodity yet is granted arbitrary
advantages over all other commodities, in
stead of taking its chances with them in the
open market. 1t seems to be sort of fl
nancial thermostat controlling eurrencies and
credits and thus domineering over business
and human life To many people, includ-
ing nearly all bankers and most men of
wealth. it is religion, not to be argued
about.
To growing number of people, inelud-
ing good many present-day economists, it
is superstition, swaying the destinies of
men and nations because they believe in its
miraculous power. Some day, they think
we shall adopt rational and unvarying
unit of value. Our official public policy
might be interpreted as accepting the super
stition theory We lock up all the gold in
Temples of Finance, using for our money
pieces of paper which testify that the gold
is there. And then, as long as the gold is in
the money temples or as long as we believe
it is, everything is all right.

1t is an interesting fact that the new
securities law. passed by Congress carly in
May. before the Morgan hearing had reached
the preferred lists. will eliminate such secret
lists hereafter. The law requires the issuer
of any new security to file with the Federal
Trade Commission the price at which it is
proposed that the security shall be offered
to the public or the method by which such
price is computed, and any variation there
from at which any portion of such security
is proposed to be offered to any persons or
classes of persons, other than the under
writers. naming them or specifying the
class"
1t was explained by the Morgan witnesses
when the preferred lists came out that dis
tribution of securities by that method had
made it possible to raise cash promptly
without dumping. large amounts of securi-
ties on the market suddenly and perhaps
dsastrously. Apparently, to the trainers of
the new securities law. as to many other
persons, it was really polite and dangerous
form of patronage. The publicity attendant
upon the Morgan hearing served to illumi-
nate this particular feature for the general
public.
