DETERMINED to give the none
- tary plan Of Professors War
rem and Rogers a full chance to
work out, the President, it was
stated authoritatively, will not
change his policy at present. If it
fails, he stands ready to turn to
devaluation of the dollar and re-
turn to the gold standard. In it's
first three weeks the program Of
buying gold at premium prices at
home and abroad raised the price
OF gold considerably, and the spon-
sors Of the plan assert it also has
been responsible for the rise of Al
per cent in commodity prices.
The committee for the nation"
whose ideas are largely embodied in
the present monetary program, now
has a rival organization, known as
the committee on monetary policy"
1t was formed by &c business and
industrial leaders of Chicago who
indorse the stand recently taken by
group Of mid-western university
professors against tinkering with
the monetary unit. The new CON-
mittee thus sets forth its policy:
Il. Recovery can be achieved
only through an increased volume
of business, which increases wages
and the whole national income.
''2. The fundamental condition
for an increased volume of business
is confidence in the dollar and in
the national credit, and reason
able expectation of profit for indi-
vidual enterprise, In industry, in
trade, and in agriculture. - =
20. Confidence In the dollar and
in the national credit demands
that currency experimentation be
abandoned, and that depreciation
of the currency be stopped before
it gets out Of hand.
Il. A higher price level is desira-
Bile only if accompanied by in
creased income-fOr farmers, wage
earners and business men, big
and little-and this cannot be
achieved by manipulation of our
currency.
''5. Further depreciation Of the
dollar by government action is the
road to printing press money, which
means the further Reorganization
of agriculture and Industrial pro-
duction, and the ultimate impover-
ishment of the nation-of its wage
earners, it's farmers and of every
individual citizen, debtor and cred
itor alike. -
IS. An announced determination
to return to a fixed gold standard,
giving effect to current needs and
experience, is indispensable to elm
nation of uncertainty and to the
restoration of confidence In the
dollar"

GERMANY responded nobly to

CONTROLLER GENERAL JOHN
" r. McCarl, one Of the most pow
erful and Independent officials OF
the government, got into the head
lines twice within few days. First
he put an end to the NRA boycott
against Henry Ford by informing
the secretaries of agriculture and
commerce that bids on equipment
by Ford dealers must be received.
This decision was held to be broad
enough to forestal! further attempts
to keep government business away
from dissenters to the MIRA, so long
as the latter comply with the terms
of the codes. The controller gener-
al pointed out that nothing in the
national industrial recovery act, and
nothing in the code for the automo-
bile manufacturing companies, re-
ouires that units of the industry
must sign anything. @
A day or two later Mr.. McCarl
ruled that William E. Humphrey,
deposed federal trade commission
er, no longer Is entitled to the sal
ary of that office despite his claims
that he is still commissioner. Salary
in the amount of S94.44 covering the
period October q to 81. 1888, was
ordered paid to George G. Mat
thews, who was appointed by Pres
ident Roosevelt to replace Humph-
rey.

GAS TAX RULE
DOUBTFUL

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 14.-The
constitutionality of the recent act
of the legislature allowing reduc-
ton in Virginia gasoline taxes in
border sections to meet competi-
ton with retail sales in contiguous
States having a lower tax was
said by Attorney General John R.
Saunders, of Virginia, to be high
ly doubtful"
In written opinion sent to
Governor John Garland Pollard at
the latter's request, Colonel Saun-
ders said that he would not go so
far as to pronounce the act un-
constitutional. The governor has
the matter under advisement.
The bill was designed particu-
larly for the benefit of retailers
in Virginia communities adjoining
the District of Columbia, where
there is a differential of 3 cents
in the tax rate. The act provided
that the State might absorb 2 of
the cents in a radius of 10 miles
from the District border and l
cent in the section lying between
the 10-mile limit and a 15-mile
mark.

COUNTY To ACT
On NRU|N Law

With the repeal election out of
of the way, wet forces in Prince
Georges county will attempt to
organize without reference to
party affiliation for liberalizing
the county law at a special ses-
sion of the Maryland Legislature.
The option law was enacted in
1917 as a war emergency measure
to keep intoxicating liquors from
soldiers at forts near the District
line.
A special legislature win be
called by Gov. Albert C. Ritchie,
he is to have intimated to county
leaders, to map out State and
county regulations for control OF
the liquor traffic. The county
went wet by 4 to /.
The Republican State Central
Committee for the county is ex-
pected to meet next week, with
the return of it's chairman, DR..
Thomas Latimer of Hyattsville, to
study local option sentiment.
Dry forces, headed by William
A. Duvall, chairman of the prohi-
bition emergency committee for
county, have served notice that
they will seek to limit liquor sale
to those communities that were
wet before prohibition.

HOPES To HAVE
PLANS READY
BY NOV. |
Low License Fees, Governors
Scheme to Prevent Boot
leg Liquor Traffic

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. IA spe-
cial session Of the general assem-
bly, Of Maryland will be called
on or before November / to pass
laws regulating the sale of liquor
In that State after the Eight
eenth Amendment is repealed.
: ThlS was announced yesterday
by Governor Ritchie who ex-
planned that he has been having
o study of the question made by
the attorney general of Mary
lands office for some time and
that he will seek the suggestions
OF representatives of all types of
the States citizenry before map
ping proposed legislation.
Governor Ritchie said he felt
that by November / he would be
prepared to submit specific
recommendations for legislation
to the general assembly and point
ed out that legislative action by
that time will give the State am
pie time to set up its liquor con-
troll machinery before the neces-
sary number of States have voted
repeal.
The most important issue to be
decided upon, the Governor be-
lieves, is whether or not there
should be a distinction in the
licensing Of places where only
beer is dispensed. His own view,
he said, is that a distinction
should be made, and that low
license fees should be effected so
as to curb bootleg liquor traffic.
Another matter over which
there is expected to be consider
able controversy is that of where
liquor may be sold and by Whom;
whether by private enterprise or
through State-operated dispensa-
rieS,
