that the law is ridiculous. He also
stated that you might as we'll

continue in business.
As yet no regulations have been

with the secretary of state, as pro-
vided for in the milk control act.
However, such regulations are ex-

to divert business from smaller
dealers who, according to the rul-

ON MARYLAND
LIQUOR TAX
State Excise Levy on Beer
One of Problems Phases on
Which Officials Disagree

APOLIS, Nov. 25.-As
members of the State legislature
returned to their homes during
the weekend recess to Scrutinize
the administration State wide
liquor bill, battle ap-
peared likely over the question of
the amount of tax to be placed
on beer and stronger drinks.
One group was said to be pre-
parlng to fight for a State excise
tax on beer, while Senator j. AL
Ian Coad D0, of st. Mary's. ex-
pressed opposition to a State tax
of $1.10 a gallon on liquor.
Richie Wants Beer Free
In announcing his control plan,
Governor Ritchie suggested that
the $I.1O levy on hard liquors be
established but recommended that
that beer be free from State ex-
else tax.
While Governor Ritchie has
declared that he realizes his con-
troll plan may be altered, he said
last night that on the basis OF
reports received, a bloc strong
enough to pass the $1.10 liquor
tax provision could be formed.
Some of the Senators favored
placing a 4-cent-a-gallon tax or
beer, while others advocated q
tax Of 81 a barrel besides the S.
Federal tax.
Federal Plans Not Known
Beer tax proponents estimated
that enactment of their proposal
would provide a yearly revenue
of between $250,00O and $500, 900
In proposing that hard liquor:
be free from State levy, Senator
Coal pointed out that the plans
of the Federal Government along
this line are not yet known. anC
that with a Federal tax plus 6
State tax on liquor it would be
likely to force. the price of ever
the cheaper grades so high thai
bootlegging would continue anc
the anticipated revenue therefore
would not be realized.

WOMAN To TALK
To FARMERS

Farmers in Oklahoma are be-
coming so restless and dissatisfied
they must have reinsurance
from the 'front.'" it was learned
today.
Mrs. D. A. McDougal, Demo
cratic national committeewoman
from Oklahoma, who has been
residing in washington, has been
requested by Democratic leaders Of
her State to make a tour of Okla
homa to assure the farmers,
seething with restlessneSs, that
"all's WE'LL"
The committeewoman revealed
she plans to leave Washington
for oklahoma in about a week
and she will make a series OF
public speeches throughout the
State.
The farmers need the reasSur-
ance of one who has been close
to them in their troubles in the
West and also one who has seen
the workings of the Administra-
ton in washington, Mrs. Nc
Dougal was told by those who
asked her to come back home.
Mrs. McDougal is believed to be
one of the few persons who can
calm the disquieted farmers be-
cause of her years of association
with them. She organized scores
of farmers wives clubs in Okla
homa and has been instrumental
in calming many outbreaks.

States attorney of Somerset
county, has written the three
judges of the lower Eastern
Shore circuit requesting that
they approve either his or the
attorney generals plan for pro-
ceeding in the prosecution Of the
Armwood lynching case.
Robins, who has refused to
arrest nine alleged participants
in the lynching and take them
before a magistrate for a pre-
liminary public hearing as recon-
mended by the attorney general,
has advocated that the evidence
which the attorney general has
collected from eye witnesses be
turned over to the Somerset
county grand jury in secret ses-
sion and let that body act.
For three days the judges have
considered the dispute between
Robins and the attorney gen.
eral, William Preston Lane, jr.,
but have failed to announce a
conclusion. They will receive
Robins letter today requesting
them to decide one way or the
other.
Governor Ritchie has backed
Tana thro1OhoIlt the contrnversv
and has publicly criticized Robins
for failing to do his duty" The
Governor also requested the
judges to replace Robins with
another States attorney who
would make the arrests.
Robins said last night he wrote
