TELEPHONE CHARGES ARE EXCESSIVE

Without any preliminary remarks on Cne SuDJecC OIL
public utilities is there logical reason why telephone
service between Rockville end Washington should cost 10
cents? Without paying toll charge we can call points

Farmers Pleading
For United Plan
To Obtain Revenue
Hold Revenue Laws Alone Can
Save Real Estate From
Further Levies

With myriad of divergent pro-
posals for meeting the States reve-
nue. needs clogging the legislative
machinery at Annapolis, the farm
organizations in Maryland, led by the
Farm Bureau, are pleading for uni
fled program through which perman-
ent and modern revenue measures
might be enacted. Citing too that the
time is short, the farm organization
hold that there is very definite need
for crystalizing public opinion immed-
lately towards this end and that I'M
less an agreement for such program
can be reached, that real estate will
again have to bear the brunt of the
impending deficit.
Spokesman for the organizations
feel that there are ample sources of
revenue in Maryland which the State
should avail itself Of through the
adoption of modern income tax and
inheritance tax legislation and
through which the IN cent gas tax
to the counties and the equalization
fund could be restored in full.
AS for unemployment relief and
other social legislation, the farm
organizations acknowledge the need
for it, but hold that the costs, par
ticularly for unemployment relief,
could be substantially reduced if a
larger share Of the responsibility for
its administration were made to rest
on local authorities. 9tf

"LAiglon" Coming To
FOrd's Next Week

"LAiglon" ("The Eaglet'') in which
Eva LeGalhenne and the New York
Civic Repertory Company will appear
at Ford's, Baltimore, promises to be
one of the most important plays of
the present season. This production
will open at Ford's Monday evening,
March IL. for three nights and one
matinee wednesday,.
In France, when "L'Aiglon" was
first produced, it created political
furore. The present version, adapted
by Clemence Dane from Rostand's
drama, brings to the theatre a ro-
mantle and powerful play, dealing
with the only son. of the great Napol-
con. The period is 1880, time of
political intrigue when the shadow of
revolution lowered over Europe.
Eva LeGallienne will be seen as
"L'Aiglon", Duke of Reichstadt, the
famous prisoner Of Austria who was
held in Vienne by Metternich for
fourteen years. The play covers the
most dramatic events in the life of
this young French prince.
Richard Addinsell has written a
special musical score that will be
synchronized with the play. The set
tings designed by Aline Bernstein re-
create the period of the Imperial
Austrian Empire, then in the height
of its glory. The play is in three
acts, six scenes.

Silk Armor Long Used

Because of its remarkable ability to
deaden blows and even stop certain
bullets, silk armor has been used in
many countries from earliest times
almost to the present day. 1t fact,
writes II. L. Berg, Blue Ash, Ohio, In
Golfers Weekly, thousands Of English
soldiers wore padded silk necklets dur.
Ing the World war. Incidentally, Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand, whose as
sassination started the war, wore a
vest Of silk armor on the day he was
shot In the head in Sarajevo, Serbia.

BY SENATOR l.. ]. DICKINSON

FrOm1nent IN hepuDthCdm
WASHINGTON. Aug. q. tRl-The
first session Of the 74th congress
will be remembered for ill-advised
legislation. extravagant appropria-
tons and four billion dollars for
work-relief waste.
No congress in American history
has made such a record. This rec
ord has been made under the d.
rection Of President Roosevelt.
Congress has initiated nothing. The
president has directed Everything.
Whatever responsibility there Is
must rest with him and with q
congress that has surrendered TO
his wishes. To me 1t has been al
most pathetic that so many repre-
sentatives and so many senators
would surrender their individuality
and cooperate In a coercive pro-
gram such as has been put through.
The $4,000. 00O, 900 was put through
for work-reilef. To date nobody has
been put to work and relief rolls
have not been materially increased.
Increasing the powers Of the Ten

refusing to consider the property OF

Gated in that city.
With reference to the AAA
amendments. 1t must be admitted
that the cotton situation Is most
chaotic. Just now we have the tax
uayer subjected to the necessity OF
having a subsidy out of the general
funds of the treasury TO the cotton
producer. This is simply an indi-
cation OF what will be proposed on
behalf Of the many other pro-
ducers Of raw products. In other
words, II this PROPOSE Is TO be car
ried on, 1t means that in the end
we will be substituting not only the
farmer, but the farm owner, the
miner, the mine owner and many
other lines Of industry.
The authority Of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation. the Home
Owners Loan Corporation and the
Federal Credit Administration 70
extend loans has been signed. This
means that, II the program
is continued, the Reconstruction

control many industries.
