The big thing in connection with
the selection of chairman for the
Republican National Committee, at
it's meeting this week in Chicago,
was to see which particular factional
division would be the strongest, and
thereby dictate the policy OF the g.
o. P.
Whether the party Is to assume an
aggressive attitude in the Congress
sional campaign, challenge the New
Deal, or to continue to fiirt with lib
eralism was to be settled before adj
journment.
The choice of chairman was ex-
pected to show which element of the
party was on top-the constitution
alists" and conservatives, or the
crowd that thinks it would be sui
cidal to sweepingly condemn the
New Deal.

An order issued last week involv-
ed abandonment of the NRA's efforts
to enforce price-fixing and fa'r-trade
practice regulations over service
trades.
The order to fall back was given
officially by President Roosevelt.
His action followed a recent intima-
ton from high NRA quarters that
enforcement of service trade codes
had become super-human task due
to widespread noncompliance.
The list includes cleaning and
dyeing, motor vehicle storage and
parking, barber shops, bowling and
billiards, advertising display install
lation and advertising distribution.
The retreat is strictly limited to
price-fixing and fair competition.

CATCHING UP WITH EUROPE!

We hear a great deal about over
taxed European countries-and have
been led to think that we, by com
parison, are fortunate. =
But if the present trend continues
American workers and investors will
soon have as much to fear from the
tax collector as the citizens of any
other country.
At the moment, about one dollar
out of every five we earn gees to
government-the same ratio that
prevails III Germany. The highest
taxed country in the world is Eng
land. There government takes one
dollar out of every four Of the ma
tional income. That is very little
more than we pay-and we're catch
ing up rapidly. A few weeks ago
English taxes-notably the income
tax-were reduced, while United
States taxes are steadily rising.
Most of us don't pay our taxes di-
rectly. We may even think we're
beating the game. But if we rent a
house, it's taxes are part of the rent
al cost. The taxes paid by the cor
ner grocery and the concerns 3roduc-
ing the food it sells are reflected in
prices. If we drive a car, turn on an
electric light, go to a show, purchase
clothes or other necessities, we are
paying taxes.
On the average, we work one day
out of every five for the government
And unless there's strong public op-
position to higher taxes, Well soon

to keep up with the tax collector.

DETERMINATIONS OF ALL
OPERATORS

The Grand Jury has referred to a
denomination of all operators as a
safety measure, and the Commission
er of Motor Vehicles is urging it for
the purpose of clearing his files of
dead licenses, as well as checking
upon operators whom time has left
incompetent to safely operate. The
Commissioner figures the cost of
such examination at 15c per person,
but believes charge of $1.0O
should be made.
The Board of Governors of the
Automobile Club of Maryland is in
clined to agree with the Commits
sioner that there should be some
way adopted to weed out those Ii
censes which are dead and transfer
red from father to son, or one rela-
tive to another, and that some legis-
lation might be adopted to check
sition of being able to rely with
more certainty upon the fact that
the name on the license is that of the
owner of such license.
If the public feels that all opera
tors should be re-examined, we are
absolutely opposed to the payment
by the motorist of any further tax
for the same. The Office of the
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles has
returned from it's budget between
thirty and forty thousand dollars
yearly. This is a time for reduc-
ton not increase of taxes for the
motorist.
A Bill at the coming Legislature
that would clear the files CT the
Commissioner of dead licenses, with
out added cost to the motorist would
merit our support, but we do not be-
lieve that the denomination of all
operators would reach the reckless
and careless operator who today is
responsible for the major traffic ac-
cidents.

SALARIES OF MAJOR EXECU-
TIVES

When the Federal Trade Commits
sion sent QUESTIONABLE to the large
corporations of the country asking
that they list the salaries of their Of
ficers for 1929, 40 out of total of
about $50 did not answer the ques-
lions. The answers of those who
replied disclose that upwards of 800
major executives each received
100000 in salaries and bonuses,
and some received compensation
which ranged up to about $780,
900.
Among the 40 companies which
did not comply with the Question:
naire of the Federal Trade Commits
sion, it is stated, were the General
Electric Company, General Aviation
Corporation, the Allied Chemical &
Dye Corporation, Burroughs Adding
Machine Company, General Motors
Corporation, American Oil Company,
Timken-Detroit Axle Company and
the American Can Company. Some
of these corporations made partial
replies, while others refused out
right, on one ground or another, to
make replies.

During the recent years the death
and injury rate per accident has
been rising-and the increase was
especially marked in 1893. The
chance of person being seriously
hurt or killed in an accident is sub
stantially greater now than it would
have been five or ten years ago in a
similar accident. The reason can be
expressed in one word: Speed.
Today's cars have better brakes
better steering, better lights and
stronger bodies than those CT the
past. BY all engineering standards
they are safer. What has happened
is that the public has exaggerated
the increased safety factors-and &C
tually turned these Improvements
into dangers.

SAFETY OF CHILDREN

With the approach of the school
vacation season, a plea for the safe
ty of children on the streets and
highways is made by Albert e. Buck
ley, Manager of the Keystone Auto
mobile Club of Maryland, who points
out that thousands of children, freed
from restraints and safety lessons
of the class room, will be exposed to
| highway hazards.
He made public the following
statement calling upon motorists to
observe carefully the rules OF safety
with respect to youngsters:
added responsibility is placed
upon the motorist in the summer
vacation season. While children
are attending school they are under
the influence of teachers who almost
daily bring forcefully to their atten-
ton some lesson or phase of safety.
In the vacation season they won't
hear word about safety, unless
parents take the place OF the teacher
in this respect and keep the subject
fresh in their minds.
"Thus, motorists should take into
account that youngsters are apt to
be more thoughtless during the sum-
mer season. They will not be cross
ing streets under the guidance of
school patrols. They may forget to
cross at crossings. In score of
ways they may deviate frcm the
safety practices of the school year.
eff drivers keep this in mind they
will, in large measure, avoid the
saddening accidents that have mar
red other vacation periods. The
motorist who always assumes that a
child is going to get in his path new
er has accidents"

FARM CREDIT INTEREST RATE
REDUCED

P. C. Turner, secretary-troasurer
of the Towson Production Credit
Association has just received word
from Governor w. |. Myers OF the
Farm Credit Administration in
Washington d. c., that the interest
rate on new loans from production
credit associations has been reduced
from u to per cent.
According to Mr. Turner the new
per cent interest rate becomes eff
fective Immediately on all new loans
and advances made by the associa-
tion and will be applicable until
further notice.
THE new interest rate o. 5 per
cent will not affect loans already ad-
vanced in full" Mr. Turnet said.
These will continue to bear the rate
of interest prevailing at the time the
loan was closed. The interest
charges on loans from the associa
ton are collected when the loans
mature. The Towson Production
Credit Association is now making
loans on acceptable crop and chattel
security to farmers in Baltimore,
Cecil, Howard and Hartford counties.
THE reduction of the interest to
per cent on new loans, Mr.. Turn
er continued lis made possible by
recent sale of Federal intermediate
credit bank debentures to investors
at an unusually low rate of interest.
The Association gets money to lend
farmers from the Federal interme
date credit bank of Baltimore.
1.-The lowering of the interest rate
on new loans to per cent is the sec
ond reduction in two months, the
rate having been reduced from to
u per cent on March 16.
According to Governor Myers"
said Mr.. Turner, the Federal inter
mediate credit bank is passing on
Immediately to farmer-borrowers
from production credit associations
the saving made possible by lower
cost of getting money. The conf
dence of investors in the security of
the intermediate credit banks has
been such that the banks are able to
get money to lend at the lowest dis
count rate in their history. Cover
r
low rate of interest on production
credit association loans is enabling
farmer-borrowers to save the usands
of dollars on the cost of their farm
ing operations this year. If the as
sociations make sound loans, and
loans that are collectable, an ade-
quate supply of low cost money will
continue to be available"

PoCOMoKE STATE FOREST

The State of Maryland has just ac-
quired title to a 453 acre tract of
land in Worcester county as an addi-
tion to the Pocomoke State Forest.
original tract of the Pocomoke For
est and was purchased from C. F..
Chandler, of Snow Hill for $4,000,
which fund was established from
sale of forest products and other in
come from the state forests.
The tract was logged over some
time between 1913 and 1920 and
since no trees were cut which, were
under eight inches in diameter at
breast height, the intervening years
have added greatly to the size of the
trees through growth and d very
fair stand of timber exists ON the
newly acquired tract. The State
Road and various woods roads
make the tract readily accessible to
visitors. Several ideal camping spots
as we'll as scenes of natural beauty
are located along the Pocomoke Riv-
er and Caulkers Creek.
This addition brings the area of
the Pocomoke State Forest to 1913
acres. Civilian Conservation Camp
P-62 located on the original tract
has started improvement Of the new
area and this will be completed
when the camp personnel returns in
the fall from their summer eucamp-
ment in Garrett county.

A Taste of
the Tropics

THERE'S a saying that Ma

apple was one-fourth fruit
andt thFee-fourths Hawaii. In
other words, in the pineapple's
appetizing tang, she shook us up
a cocktail of blue skies and blue
waves, of emerald foliage and gay
blossoms, and of five star pure
balmy air that is a tonic in itself.
Connoisseurs of flavor declare
they can even detect a touch of
plaintive serenades from Hawai-
ian guitars and a dash of the
brightly colored leiS cS flowers
with which the Islanders bid de-
parting guests "Aloha Oe!"
So, if we can't bask on white
beaches with red flowers in our
hair, let's drink and eat lots of
the nearest thing we can get to
undiluted tropical sunshine. Not
only is it healthy-it's delightful.

Convenient Pineapple

Because pineapple is such a
favorite to us jewellers in what
we laughingly call the temperate
zone, it is canned in more forms
than most fruits. On the
grocer's shelves you'll find pine
apple juice, sweetened or un-
sweetened, pineapple slices,
crushed pineapple and pineapple
tidbits. Buy whatever type is
best suited to the pineapple dish
you have in mind. How about
trying this way of using pine
apple in tonight's dinner?
Tomatoes Stuffed toith Pine

sized ripe tomatoes, scoop out
and drain well. To the pulp add

From Bel Air northward the
Pike is one series of curves, most of
them sharp and dangerous. In fact,
there is only one stretch of straight
road approximating a mile III length
on the hill south of Conowingo.
At no place is the road wider than

P.O. CLERKS CALL FOR HELP 4

The National Federation of Post
Office Clerks is calling upon it's local
organizations to inaugurate cam
paigns for emergency employment
of postal substitutes.
These local organizations are be-
ing asked to acquaint welfare and
other agencies interested in the re-
habilitation of the unemployed to in
terest themselves in the situation
confronting the $4,000 substitutes in
the postal service, who are, by the
recent furlough order, to all intents
and purposes debarred from employ
ment. Employment ads in newspapers
are also urged.
This is after several years of the
most meager earnings which in many
cases averaged less than SIS a week
and in some instances has been as
low as so cents for a two-weeks' Pc
riod.
These substitutes have been unable
to seek outside employment inasmuch
as they are required to report for
duty and to remain available for call
at all times. Even when in dire want,
many of them have been refused
CWA and other emergency employ
ments because "they had a govern
ment job"
Some have eked out starvation
existence for as long as ten years.
Now the entire $4,000 are out com
pletely during the life of the fur
Tough order or until July 1. They
need help and need it quickly.
