MED by an official Of the Univer-

the board of trustees at the Uni
versity and one-time president Of
the American Bar Association, is
under consideration for the posi-
ton made vacant by the custer
of DR.. Fox from the University
premises. is not denied, however.
The University official stated:
"Mr. Martin has not been ap-
pointed as dean Of the Law
School. Any information re-
garding the successor Of DR..
Fox must come from Bishop
Ryan.
Gas to whether Mr.. Martin is
under consideration for the post,
1 will not say. But Mr.. Martin
is a trustee Of the University
and is highly regarded in legal
circles"
Charges by DR.. Fox that the
Law School is being ruined"
meanwhile because Of the lack OF
dean we're made light of by the
University spokesman. He as
serted:
During the summer months
the leadership of the law school
is purely an administrative
function. 1t /; only necessary
to handle correspondence and
applications and a mon does
not require the title of dean
to satisfactorily attend to these
tasks"
Mr.. Martin, a native 70 Mar.

bachelor of laws in 1899 from the
University of West Virginia and
his alma mater honored him with

dred and forty dollars, including
cash and Government obligations,
were produced at the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing during the
year ending June 80.
The bureau was faced with its
heaviest year since 1929. In add
ton there was a tremendous pro-
duction of postage stamps, checks
and miscellaneous papers due in
large measure to the demands OF
better business and the recovery
program.
There were printed 1895, 1903

three hundred seventy-nine mil
lion two hundred and two thou

the largest value since 1880.
Bonds, notes and certificates OF
MISUNDERSTANDING sheets
represented a value OF. forty bill
lion nine hundred thirty-two mil
lion forty thousand and six hun
dred dollars, slightly less in value
than the 1884 figure of forty-two
billion one hundred thirteen mil
lion five hundred twenty thousand
one hundred and twenty dollars.
There was peak production OF
internal revenue stamps number
ing 10,753,516,929. The increase
over former years was due to the
liquor taxes, to substantial in
crease in the tobacco business and
to othe-: scattered causes.
The production of postage
stamps was 13,853,505,619, the
largest since 1882. In 1888 the

He was former representative
Stuart F.. Reed, of West Virginia.
Mr.. Reed, who had been ill for
several years, retired from Con-
gress II years ago. He was SO.
Born on a farm in Barbour

tor and for eight years was editor
of the ClarkSburg (W. Va Tele-
gram. He entered politics as
State senator and later served as

The sixteenth, or income tax,
amendment to the Constitution,
which changes it's fundamental
policy of equality in taxation, he
declared, has been productive OF
more perjury and more law break
ers, and brought the Constitution
into more disrepute than the
eighteenth. He blamed the Six
teenth Amendment for the finan-
cial and industrial breakdown OF
the country, adding that it also
furnished the means for recent
government extravaganza, tn e
usurpation of industry, and the
attempt to confiscate wealth.

ent of police, and Albert j. Head
ley, recently appointed assistant
