MEMORIAL DAY

Tuesday next is Memorial
Day,-the day upon which our
nation pays tribute to it's hon
ored dead; those who served
their country in time of peril
and paid the price with their
lives.
Originally established in the
North as a day for decorating
the graves of soldiers who lost
their lives in the war between
States, Memorial Day now has
a wider significance, and is
dedicated to those who paid the
supreme sacrifice in other
wars as well,-when tribute is
paid them.
1t is a tribute of the living to
their dead, and has gradually
extended until it has become a
day when sacred tribute is paid
to other loved ones as we'll,
who have gone before, and this
is as it should be.
AS we pause for a thought
full moment of the true spirit of
the day, let us pay tribute not
alone to the hero dead, but to
all our loved ones gone to their
reward, and who too, many of
them, made unstinted sacrifices
during their lives in order that
we might carry on,

The use of advertising media
on a more general and extern
sive scale is the surest way to
end the current economic stu
alton and to prevent them in
the future, according to Mr..
Edward A. Filene, of Boston,
speaking before the New York
Advertising Club.
Declaring that good adver-
Using, with all that it implies,
will show the way and lead to-
ward a height of prosperity
such as the world has never
known, Mr.. Filene held that a
good advertisement is just as
productive of social and eco
nomic values as a good potato
patch or a good clothing fac
tory"

FARM RELIEF ACT

The new farm relief bill,
which has been pending since
shortly after the present adj
ministration came into power,
has been enacted and plans for
putting at least a part of its
provisions into effect are being
worked out as rapidly as pos
sible by both Federal and State
authorities.
The declared purpose of the
new Farm Act is to increase
the purchasing power of farm
ers. BY this means it is in
tended to afford more than
farm relief by making it posi-
BILE for farmers to buy the pro-
ducts of industry.
Several methods for bringing
about an increase in rural buy
ing power are provided for in
the Act. Just what is to be
done this season will be deter
mined Immediately in hearings
called by Secretary of Agricul-
ture Henry A. Wallace.
The alternative methods
made possible by the Act are:
1. The Secretary of Agricul-
ture may arrange with lndivid-
ual farmers to reduce their
acreage or production by a
specified amount, and to COM
pensate them either by paying
rentals or by making direct
benefit payments. This would
be immediate relief, with only
the participating producers re-
ceiving the benefits.
2. By entering into market
ing agreements with process
sors and others to reduce
wasteful and price-dep1 essing
competition, excessive hand
ling charges, and SO on, the
Secretary may bring about bet
ter prices to farmers.
Funds to pay rental and ben
eft payments would come init
tally from the Federal treas
ury. subsequently, they would
come from an adjustment tax
levied on the first processing of
the basic commodity. The
basic commodities named in
the Act are wheat, cotton, hogs,
field corn, rice, tobacco and
milk and it's products; but the
Secretary may exclude from
operation of the Act any of
these commodities if it's inclu-
sion would not further the pur-'
pose of the Act.
Refinancing of farm debts at
lower rates of interest is also
provided for. Farmers inter-
ested in this phase of the Act
should get in touch with the
nearest Federal Land Bank,
local Farm Loan Association,
or their County Agent.

Trees were planted on 24,9OO
acres of denuded areas in the
national forests in 1882, the
United States Forest Service
reports. Absence of early fall
rains prevented the planting of
the usual fall acreage in the
northern Rocky Mountain and
the California regions. Large
areas were planted in the
spring, however, in the Black
Hills, in Colorado, and in Ar

GOVERNMENT DECLARES
WAR ON RACKETEERS

Latest reports Indicate Cldl
a general movement against
the lawless elements in this
country is rapidly taking
shape, Racketeers, gangsters,
kidnapers and all of their kind
are going to be taken for a
ride" Most of the large cit
les, including New York, Chi
cago, San Francisco and other
places afflicted with industrial
terrorism are waging their own
relentless campaigns or drives
on gangdom. And now the
government has thrown the
full strength of the Department
of Justice against the gangster
and his nefarious practices.
Not only that, but Attorney
General Homer S. Cummings is
considering special legislation
to recommend to Congress that
will give the government still
more power to deal with rack
eteers. Says the Attorney Gen
aral: "Racketeering has be-
come a great national problem.
How it should be dealt with
probably will occupy my time
as long as l hold this office.
Thoughtful people have come
to the opinion that we\ will
have to go farther in extending
authority to the government to
cope with racketeers."
If the gangsters confined
their operations to inter-gang
massacres, taking rival gang
leaders for rides, or putting
them ION the spot" the general
public would have little to wor-
ry about. But they take inno-
cent citizens for one-way rides,
they bomb promiscuously and
commit other forms of vio-
lence typical to the racketteer.
They do not confine their ac-
tivities to rum-running and the
like. They shake down and
collect tribute from business
men and business firms, big
and little. They kidnap and
murder little children, school
girls and young women.
More recently they have
'muscled in" again into the
food markets. Somebody esti-
mated once that they took a
cut in the sale and distribution
of more than 80 staple foods.
And now reports indicate that
they have extended their activ-
tiles to the farms. Last fall
they aided and abetted the
farm strike in Iowa. Long af-
ter the real farmers had given
up and gone back to their
farms city-trained gangsters
and their agents were reported
blocking roads and trying to
keep food products off the mar
ket. They figured in the re-
cent trouble in that state, and
are constantly seeking new
fields to profit from.

u. s. FUNDS FOR ROADS
State Would Get Over $780,
900 Under Public
Works Bill

Tentative plans for a pro-
gram of major improvements
on main arterial highways in
the State to utilize the $780,
900 or $,4,OO0,O0O that would
be assigned to Maryland under
the $4,000, 100000 public works
bill submitted to Congress by
President Roosevelt, are being
discussed by the State Roads
Commission. n. rsiA
The program, as outlined by
G.. Clinton Uhl, chairman, e.
Brooke Lee and Robert Lacy,
members of the commission,
would include widening and
Improving of the Philadelphia
and Bel Air roads, the Defense
Highway, the Annapolis Boule-
ward, and the possible construc-
tion of a third route to the
north from Baltimore.
While details as to the man
ner in which the money will be
made available under the bill
are not yet known, Mr.. Uhl
said he understood that three
fourths of the funds will be
distributed on a mileage basis
and one-fourth on a population
basis.
The last session of the Gen
eral Assembly authorized the
Roads Commission to issue $4,-
100000 in bonds on the basis
of revenues from truck license
taxes, which also were increas-
ed at the 1888 session.
Since the majority of the
construction work, estimated to
cover a space of approximately
two years, would lie in one or
two, counties in the northern
section of the State, the other
counties would be credited with
their percentage of the Federal
funds on the usual mileage per-
centage basis from State funds
in the hands of the commits
sion, members said.
In recent months engineers
of the commission have been
studying the materials and
maintenance of low-type roads
in North Carolina and Virginia
with a view to making Mary
land dollars go as far as posi-
!, BILE in similar construction
work here.
In addition, the commits
sion's engineers are conducting
a condition survey of the high
ways in the counties, and the
commission is contemplating a
survey for a third route to the
north. Construction OF this
route, the members Of the COM
mission said, would depend on
the volume of traffic over the
other two main arteries lead
ing north from Baltimore and
the conditions with which they
might be- confronted in their
improvement program.
Mr.. Uhl and the other two
members of the commission
made it clear that the program
they outlined merely was a ten
tative one and the steps being
taken were ones of prepared
ness so that the State could a
vail itself at once of any funds
which might be appropriated
under the public works act.

Guess At
Origin OF
Odd Names

Washington.-Spetkin of name
of places and how names originate
a spokesman of the National Geo.
graphic Society here has pointed
out that many of the unusual ad.
dresses mail clerks see on envelope,
come about by the combination OF
EXPLANATIONS and proper or com
mon nouns.
For example, the practice Of
ferry passengers calling "he;" te
ISL, who ran the ferry, resulted
in Haysi, Va.
And then there is Greasy Greek
Biscuit and Dimple, KY, the or:gir
of which may be guessed at if not
directly traced. Added to a SIM.
lar list is Horse Heaven, Gooseprai.
RE and Steptoe in Washington
State, Pie Town and Gallup in New
Mexico, Needles and Jelly in Cali
%fornia, and Frostproof in Florida.
Speed, Economy and Harmon,
are in Indiana; Flues, Vim and Joe
in Colorado; Asbestos and Appea
in Maryland, and Deadwater ane
Grindstone in Maine.
Some of the names, it is stated
may have originated in the d,y
of the western bad men," Fo
example,, Tombstone in Arizona
Razor and Gunsight in Texas, Eos
sill in Oregon, and Scraper in Okla
homa.
Climate and temperament ais
seem to play a part in namin,

States. For example there is a
Tranquility in New Jersey, Twi

Court Rules
Cities Liable
Gas Tax

Reversing a lower court deci-
sion in a Winston-Salem test case,
the North Carolina supreme court
said municipal corporations must
pay the six cents per gallon state
tax on gasoline they use for city
purposes.
The gasoline tax Ease came be-
fore the high court on appeal of
the state treasurer. Judge w. A.
Devin, hearing the treasurer's suit
to collect the tax from the city of
Winston-Salem, ruled the 1881
law listing municipalities as liable
to payment of the gasoline tax was
unconstitutional.
Associate Justice Brogden, writ
ing the supreme courts decision,
held the gasoline levy was an ex-
else tax and not a property tax,
and municipalities were not i'm
mune to it especially since the leg
stature specifically included them
in its 1881 gasoline tax law.
