COUNTY LEAGUE
ASKS TAX GUT

Reduction of taxes through re-
vision of county expenditures was
advocated at a mass meeting
sponsored last night by the Ar
lington County Taxpayers League
in Lyon Park Community House.
H. L. Woodward, president of the
league, presided.
Among the speakers were Emory
Hosmer, John Locke Green, Clar-
ence A. Halt, Judge w. w.
Wright and Col. j. G. Pepper.
The group advised several
county positions could be abol-
ished through consolidation OF
duties, and recommended enlarge
ment of the police force.
A committee, consisting of Col.
j. G. Pepper, Judge Wright and
L. C. Macpherson, was appointed
to aid the Arlington Bar Associa-
ton committee in their investiga.
tion of county finances and
taxes.
Another committee, consisting
of w. T. French, Colin MacPher-
son and H. C. Saffell, was named
to probe State taxes.

BURGLAR

When a burglar early today
broke into the delicatessen Of
Brodie H. Coakley in the 200 block
of Fifteenth st. S. E., he met a
warm reception.
An attempt to break into his
store a short time ago had made
Mr.. Coakley burglary-conscious.
Lately he has been sleeping in a
cot in the rear with an efficient
automatic under his pillow.
At l a. m, he was awakened
by the noise of someone breaking
a glass front door.
The proprietor waited until the
intruder got inside and fired
three times. The robber yelled,
dived headlong through the plate
glass and fled.
Police searched the vicinity but
found no trace Of the intruder.
On Christmas Eve, a burglar
threw a SNOWFALL into a window
at the store.
Since then, Coakley said, he
has been watching for a return
visit,
The burglar was described as
young colored man.

Equitable Way to Raise
Funds Needed by State

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 3.-The
General Assembly today has
before it details of the plan of
Senator Earle Withgott for 2
per cent tax on all retail sales
in Maryland which, he claims,
would produce $8,184,000 annual
revenue.
Least Painful of Taxes
The Talbot county Democrat
cited Federal Census Bureau fig
ures showing that Maryland'S
retail sales in 1929 were $613,.
812,177, representing per capita
average expenditure of $376.
Reducing this by one.third be-
cause of present conditions, Sen
ator Withgott believes retail sales
in the State now total $409, ,208,-
600, or per capita average OF
$3.50. He added:
"The general sales tax is the
most equitable form of raising
the new revenues that we need
to take the killing tax burden
off land"
He added that a 1-cent tax on
sales virtually would meet the
$4,500,0O0 needed in the admins
tration's program, half going to
the counties for schools thus
lowering their own tax levieS, the
other half going to Baltimore for
charges in funding a $4,000, 900
bond issue for unemployment
relief, also some for Baltimore
schools.
Richie Studies Plan
Governor Ritchie today con.
tinued his study of the general
commodity sales tax plan, indi-
eating he finds much to favor in
the idea, although he has not yet
formally relinquished his original
plan for a special tax instead OF
tobacco, chewing gum and soft
drinks.
The house ways and means
committee and the senate finance
committee will meet next week
with the heads of the various
State departments to try to prune
still more from the 1934-35
budget,

Volunteer F Fireman Burned
At N Street Blaze

One man was injured in a
spectacular fire that swept
through a three-story building
in the 900 block N st. N. w.
shortly before noon today.
The injured man was A. Ken
meth Armstrong, foreman of an
upholstering plant occupying the
first floor of the building, where
the blaze started. He suffered
severe burns about the face and
hands as he attempted to quench
the flames.
On the second floor of the
building were Mrs. Ruth Volland,
owner of the building, and Mrs.
j. B. Montrop. They fled
through smoke-filled halls to
safety.
Extinguisher Fails
j. M. Self, who lives on the
third floor of the building, was
absent when the fire started.
Armstrong said:
''I was at work when no
ticed a small blaze on the floor.
1 ran across the street, OBJ
tanned fire extinguisher and
ran back, but it would not
work.
Il tried then to beat out the
flames, but they spread so
rapidly that I could not do SO,

TAX GUT looms
IN COUNTY

A possibility of a 30-cent tax cut
for Montgomery county residents
looms as result Of the announce
ment by county officials that all
efforts will be directed towards
the support of legislative pro,
grams sponsored by the State and
county administrations and the
securing Of county salary cuts.
The reduction would not elimi'
nate or reduce any of the activl'
ties of the county. Part OF the
revenue estimated for the decrease
will be from a new State tax ex,
pected to be imposed in the form
of a luxury sales tax or a general
sales tax.
It is proposed that the tax rate
be lowered to $1.10 for 1888 and
that when definite figures on the
receipts can be estimated that 1t
be lowered to 80 cents or 81 in the
next year. The new tax rate
would not be accompanied by an
increase in the assessments.

strong, rescued a few pieces Of
furniture before the blaze became
so fierce that he could not 60
back in.
Came In Clouds
Mrs. Montrop, who was sitting
directly above the shop, said:
81 never saw a fire spread
So rapidly. The first thing 1
knew there was a little smoke
seeping up, then it came in
gerat clouds.
II gathered a few possessions
together and ran out into the
hall. 1t was thick with smoke
and I could hardly breathe. I
could not see, but grOped my
way to the back porch"
Mrs. Volland said the damage
to the building is partially cover,
ed by insurance.

WATCH
NJ GILL HOME
BUT IN Vain
Intruder Who Threatened Sen
ator Fails to Return;
Motive Puzzles

The home of Senator George
w. McGill in the 5000 block of
Thirty-fourth st. N. W., was still
under a heavy police guard today
following the appearance there Of
an armed man Wednesday night.
Last night passed quietly, how
ever, with no repetition of the
shotgun threat on the Kansas
Senator.
The Wednesday night incident
came as the family was at the
dinner. Two attempts were. made
to lure the Senator outside by
knocking at the front door.
When he failed to go out, the
intruder tapped on the dining
room window. Raising the cur
tain McGill saw a double bar
relied shotgun pointed at him. The
Senator turned out the lights and
called police, who were unable to
find the intruder, although his
footprints were found outside the
window.
Both the Senator and Mrs. Nc
Gill believe it was an attempt to
murder him, but are unable to
give any reason for the attack,
disclaiming any knowledge Of
enemies and scoffing at the idea
that the Senator's dry stand
might have anything to do with
the attack.

Is This Too Good
for Your Cough?

Creomulsion may be better help than
you need. 1t combines seven major helps
in one-the best helps known to science.
1t is made for coughs or colds that hang
on, for quick relief, for safety.
Mild coughs often yield to lesser helps.
No one can tell. No one knows which
factor will do most for any certaincough.
So careful people, more and more, arc
using, Creomulsion for any cough that
starts.
The.cost is a little more than single
help. But your druggist guarantees it,
so it costs nothing if it fails to bring
you quick relief. Coughs are danger sig.
mails. For safety's sake, deal with them
in tho best way known.
