CONGRESS-THE 72nd SEES
SION

Anyone who has gone to
Washington in these early days
of 1888 and visited the House
of Representatives and the
Senate has distraught idea of
confusion and. waste of time
waste of time in effort made
to gain insight into Admin
stration wheels going around
and dreadful waste of time in
nails of Congress. Even if
one has not gone ones self the
same sense of futility is gained
from the press. States the
New York Times of Feb. IL:
When the Senate and House
adjourned this afternoon, the
inal session of the 72nd Con-
gress was sixty-eight days old.
During that time not one APP

The Saturday Evening Post
of February 18th in an article
by Katherine Dayton deals
with Congress in a more hui
INJURIOUS fashion. The opening
lines:

following paragraphs. ''Poli-
ticians," the article states later
on, especially those in Wash

just little boys grown tall,
more's the pity. Keep that in
mind when you read the politi-
cal news and you'll keep your
seatsThey don't seem to know
they are only men, and not SO
awfully bright for their age at
that. But Congress is more
than humorous; it is deplor-
able. Go in and take a seat in
the gallery-either House or
Senate. Lean forward with
mind and heart full of the ma
tional and international crisis,
not the lolling ease, the empty
seats, the speeches being made
in such confusion that neither
those on the floor or in the gal

sinks the mind to the very

that there will be no more lame

CUT In STATE BUDGET

-
Maryland's governmental ex-
penditures during the 1934-35
biennium will be reduced
another $5,646,712 if the Leg
islature adopts the program for
drastic retrenchment in the
States departmental and in
stitutional system laid before it
Friday afternoon by Governor
Richie.
At the same time, if further
provisions of the Governors
proposal are ratified by the
General Assembly, the local
tax rates in the counties will
be lowered on a scale varying
from approximately 80 cents
per 500 up to $1.38.
Funds also will be available
to finance a $12,0OO,000 bond
issue for Baltimore's unem
ployment relief outlay with a
surplus of approximately $780,
900 to be applied to easing the
city's taxes.
The additional slashes rec
commended by the Governor to
members of the Assembly's
two fiscal committees would
cut appropriations for the next
two years from $62, 759,174.o5,
as originally planned, to $751;
112.462.80. Approximately ST.
100000 had been cut from each
years appropriation originally
as compared with the 1888 ex-
penditures.
A pool of $6,8O0,00C would be
created during the two years
with the funds saved through
the reductions, to which the
Governor proposes the addi-
ton of the proceeds of one
per cent tax on pari-mutuel
bets estimated at 100000 a
year and the revenues accru-
ing from motor-vehicle fines,
! estimated at $3O4,07S annually.
>EroIn this pool the State would
extend the aid to Baltimore and
the counties.
A graduated scale Of salary
reductions: Ten per cent on
salaries under $1,000; eleven
per cent on salaries from ST.
200 to $1,799; twelve per cent
from $1,000 to $1,000; thirteen
per cent from So, 400 to $4,000;
fourteen per cent from $4,000
to $3,599 and fifteen per cent
on $500 or over. This in
wolves all salaries except those
fixed by the Constitution and,
over and above the ten per
4 cent fat cut provided for in the
original budget, will produce
annually $24S, 536.
A slash in departmental and
institutional appropriations,
calling for a reduction of ten
per cent on departmental oper-
ating expenses; three to five
per cent. on institutional oper-
ating expenses and a further
blanket reduction on the total
budget appropriations of each
department and institution.
These reductions would yield
$1,739, 139 in each of the two
years for which the budget is
drawn.
A forty per cent fiat cut in
the appropriation to the Uni
versity of Maryland as COM
pared with that institutions al
lowance for 1888. This would
cut the university's budget
$466,474 for each year in the
biennium or make it $265, 456
less than provided in the orig
inal budget, which allowed for
a reduction of $201, O1S in 1884
and the same amount in 1885.
A further reduction of $685.
OPS in the appropriation for
each year to the public schools.
This includes cutting the oper-
alton cost of the Frostburg and
Salisbury normal schools in
half and the elimination of nu-
merous county supervisors.
A reduction of State aid to
schools, colleges and kindred
institutions by ten per cent,
with an aggregate saving of
$42, 200 annually.

MILWAUKEE,, June 29.-"Appar-

Teachers can collect the experiences
