NEW YORK, July "a G.N.S).
The cotton market rallied slight
~ from its lows established i'm
mediately after the opening but
kept part Of its early losses to-
day.
The initial drop was largely an
aftermath of the decline in the
July contract yesterday, with the
later futures tending to correct
the unnatural disparity existing
between the spot and later con-
tracts now that Government sup
port of these months was less
active.
In addition to the Government
pool, the trade, Liverpool and the
ring were buying against selling
by the South, New Orleans and
the continent.
The weekly weather report was
partially responsible for the de-
cline, showing crop improvement
condition in most portions of the
country except in one instance
where weevil growth was en-
Couraged.
Towards noon the market was
steady near it's lows for the day.
october was quoted at 11.35, un-
changed; December, 1923, off 2,

NEW COLLEGE PRESIDENT
INTRODUCED TO STUDENTS

The formal introduction of DR..
Fred G. Holloway to the student
body, faculty and alumni as president
of Western Maryland College took
place last Monday morning at 10 a. m.
in Alumni Hall. The assemblage was
a large one, the students and faculty
members occupying the lower floor,
with many alumni and friends in the
balcony.
The program opened with the
hymn, LEAD On, o King Eternal"
followed by prayer by Rev. DR.. H. L..
Elderdice, president of the West
minister Theological Seminary. Rev.
DR.. J. H. Straughn, president of the
board of trustees of the college who
spoke, mentioned that as president Of
the Maryland conference of the M.
P. church he officiated at the ordina-
ton of DIR. Holloway into the minis
try.
Words of greeting were extended
by Prof. Carl Schaeffer In behalf OF
the college faculty; by Miss Anna
Catherine Hill, PRECEDENT of the stud
ent government, in behalf of the wo-
men students; and by Charles B.
Daneker, president of the student
league, in behalf Of the men stud
ents.
DR. Holloway on being presented
by DR.. Straughn spoke briefly. He
said that unity of faculty and stu
dents lies in the fact that all are in
a process of being educated and as
sured his audience that he would
continue the program for a greater
Western Maryland college. He paid
a fine tribute to the late DR.. Albert
Norman Ward whom he succeeds.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1935-12-13

tative estimates reveal that between
20 per cent and 25 per cent of all
the income of the people of this Coun-
try is taken up through taxation by
local, state and national government.
While this is staggering tax bill,
the remaining amount represents the
increased public debt which will even
tually lead to greater taxation be-
cause we must recognize the fact that
some day the amounts represented by
the public debt must be paid off by
the general public.
In considering the great amount of
taxes levied in different forms, I OBJ
served that during last year automo-
bile taxes in the form of license fees,
gasoline taxes and taxes levied upon
the autmobile as personal property, in
the aggregate total of 1 billion 200
million dollars. At the same time,
according to official reports, the auto
mobile manufacturers of the Country
received for the cars they sold to auto
mobile dealers a total of billion lat
million dollars, 53 million less the n
the total tax bill.
All too frequently, people do not
seem to realize that taxes are being
exacted of them some times through
hidden levies, oft-times by indirect
taxation. Every time person buys a
package of cigarettes he pays on the
average of six cents in taxes alone.
Frequently people who pay rent do
not realize that they are at the same
time paying taxes, but labor under the
misapprehension that their landlord
is burdened with that responsibility
and charge. Recently, however, a
survey by competent tax experts
shows that almost 35 per cent of the
rental bill for residential properties
was for taxation and about 20 per
cent of the rental bill for business
properties almost Immediately was
paid over to the government in taxa
ton.
And while speaking of real estate
property, I am stating the obvious fact
when I declare that so burdensome
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1935-12-13

have been the tax levies upon the
property owner that the burden has
become well nigh impossible to bear.
The result is, that in every State of
the Union governmental units are be-
ing forced to take over countless num-
bers of properties, because the own
ers have not been able to meet the
taxes ASSESSED against them.
So great has the tax burden become
that it is fair t estate that no item
of personal property, as we'll as real
property, avoids the effect of the
mounting cost of government. Ac-
cordingly the very necessities of life,
Of what we eat, of what we need for
clothing and in our households are
increased in their costs by reason of
the taxation upon the production,
manufacture, distribution and sale OF
these commodities.
While the "man on the street" may
not realize it he is the one ultimately
affected by the high cost of govern
ment, with its increasing burdens OF
taxation. When our legislative body
places a higher tax on the manufac-
turer, we cannot close our eyes to the
fact that this increased burden is pass
ed on to the final consumer.
When our legislative bodies pass q
tax measure, which is to be measured
in its application by the gross re-
ceipts of the merchant, rather than a
tax upon the actual sale of merchan-
disc, we must recognize the plain fact
that ultimately the burden falls upon
the final purchaser.
The people themselves who foot the
bill, must make apparent their deter
mination to have the costs of govern
ment decreased. When we are told,
as we are, that the costs of all gov
eminent agencies has multiplied until
in the aggregate it was almost 5
times as much last year as it was in
1915.
conclusion that it can be reduced if
there is the will to reduce it. That
will must be voiced by the people in
terms so loud that public officials

HERBERT O'CONOR
MAKES SPEECH OF
LOCAL ROTARIANS

I consider it privilege to be with
in Somerset County, because any one
conversant with Maryland history
must agree that this County has con-
tributed more than it's share of illus
trious leaders, thoughtful men and
staunch patriots.
It is refreshing, and it is source
of inspiration, to recall that among
the members of the Convention which
ratified the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, were Gustavus Scott, Geo.
Gale. John Stewart and Henry Wag-
paman, the first named being dele
gate from Maryland to the Continen-
tai Congress.
The great Somerset names of the
Dennises, of John w. Crisfield, one
of the greatest men Maryland ever
produced, of John J. Dashiell, of John
C. Horsey, among many others, are
such as to thrill our imagination,
and to cause US to acknowledge the
debt that the rest of the State owes
to this outstanding County.
Occupying the office of Attorney
General of my native State, have a
particular attachment, realizing that
the first Attorney General under the
Constitution of 1867, elected in that
year with Governor Oden Bowie, was
none other than Isaac d. Jones, of
Somerset County, and one of the
greatest historic lawyers of his gene
ration. Many other outstanding fig
ures have followed and have added to
the distinction of this County. Time
does not permit ever passing ref
erence to this great number, including
many of the present day. But the
fact remains that those who treasure
historical data of our State are ready
to acknowledge the debt which we
owe to your County.
I have been asked to voice some
comments concerning present day
problems, particularly in connection
with the functioning of the Govern
ment. The suggestion has been made
that some discussion of the admins
tration of Government might not be
foreign to the interest of business and
professional men, such as are here
assembled.
I submit that at the present i'm
portant juncture nothing should con-
Germ business and professional men
more deeply than the question of the
costs of Government and the ever
increasing burdens upon business, in
dustry and agriculture, of taxation,
especially when, as seems evident, our
Country is emerging from the throes
of depression, nothing should retard
recovery, least of all government it
self.
And yet, we are struck with the
realization that the cost of govern
ment has become one of the most per-
picking problems of the day and is
one, in my opinion, which the people
themselves must give attention to, and
must solve to their own satisfaction,
if improvement is to be made.
Last year, 1884, the National in
come was approximately 48 billions
of dollars. At the same time the tax
alton cost of our different Govern
mental agencies, National, State and
Local, was no less than 15h billions
of dollars. In other words 1-3 of the
total amount represented in the in
come of all businesses and lines of
endeavor was the cost of operating the
different branches of the Government
It is true that all of this is not re-
Elected in taxation. However authori-
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1935-12-13

will hear it, and hearing it, will give
heed. It is my humble prediction that
definite step forward towards re-
gaining the lost ground will be made
when the high cost of government is
reduced.

CHICAGO, September 21.-School-
boy traffic patrols that guard the Ma
tons children on their daily trips to
class were condemned as a menace to
youth yesterday by the Executive
Committee Of the National Congress
Of Parents and Teachers.
A demand that the practice of Sub
stituting school safety patrols for po-
licemen" be abandoned throughout
the country was voted at the close
of a five-day meeting of the congress
guiding bodies.
A Safety Council report showed that
number Of the boy policemen" who
walk into the streets to halt automo-
biles at intersections had fallen prey
to the same traffic hazards from which
they were trying to protect their
school chums, the committee asserted.
Before condemn:ng the schoolboy
patrols, the committee voted to CO.
operate with the New Deal in its Ma
tional Youth Administration.
Through local parent-teacher units,
a national committee will help the
administration in carrying out its
plans to spend s50,O0o,0o0 to help
young men and women through school
and into jobs and community activi-
ties.

To Sell Baby Bonds
''Plugging'' of Issue
WM Begin Through
Weekly Magazines.

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury will start plugging
its baby bonds next week through
magazine advertisements.
Next Tuesday the first paid "ad'
will appear in a national weekly mag
aZine, to be followed by paid copy in
five other weekly periodicals.
The question of employing newspa-
pers for the advertising is also being
considered by Treasury officials, who
said no decision had been reached.
The aim of the campaign is to inter-
est small investors in the baby bonds,
the smallest of which sells for $1875,
with cash maturity value Of $25 in
10 years.
The first series of bonds was brought
out last March /. A sale of $38,000,-
600 was reported during that month.
Total sales have amounted to $780,
600 900, which represents the maturity
value OF the bonds sold. Inasmuch as
they are purchased on discount basis
only about $4,000, 900 has been turned
into the Treasury as proceeds.
