WEED ERADICATION BILL IS PROPOSED
By PAUL MAY iDcmOCrat COrreSDOIldCnl.l ]


 Washington, ID. C., March 2S.-- Senator l.. J. Dickinson, republican Of Iowa, and Senator Pat McCa:- ran, democrat of Nevada, are framing an amendment to the C,'C appropriations bill which would provide for an undetermined sum of money to be used for weed eradication on farm land, both senators announced to-day.
 Following an effort made by va rious midwestern representatives to secure upward of $12O,00O for .he eradication of bind weed, CanaGiaA thistles, and other weeds, which failed owing to the fact that the agricultural appropriations bill had already been sent through, the senators felt that the need for combating the weeds is so great that they plan to offer the amend ment to the eco appropriations bill which is scheduled to come be fore Congress shortly.
 Dickinson said: "Many farmers have been unable to secure loans from the Federal Land Banks simply because upon inspection by investigators of the bank 1t had been found that their land was in- fected with weeds. There IS really no reason for that, so we are seek ing to attain our goal by offering this amendment to eliminate that situation"
 Senator McCarran explained that "there seems 10 be a greater need for weed eradication than is gen. orally believed" and that While as yet no definite amount has been decided upon, the amendment will call for an appropriation upward of $100,009.
 Although not substantiated. 1t is believed that the members of tho Senate committee on agriculture will look favorably upon tue amendment.

BILL OFFERED
FOR BETHESDA
LIBRARY

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 8.
Provision was made in bill Of
fered by Miss Ruth E. Shoemaker
CD Montgomery county, yeSter-
day in the House of Delegates, to
provide for the establishment OF
q branch of the Newcomb Library
in Bethesda.
The bill would compel the
board of county commissioners
of Montgomery county to assess a
tax of two cents on the $1OO in
the Bethesda district for three
years, and after that a tax OF
~ cents a year, the latter to
be used for maintenance.
Would Cut Phone Calls
Delegate Arthur G. Cullers (R0
Garrett county, introduced bill
which would allow members of the
general assembly sum equal to
80 per cent of their ordinary mile
age for use on long distance tele-
phone calls instead of permitting
them to make unlimited calls as
now. Chairman of standing COM
mittees and the speaker of the
house and president Of the senate
would be allowed an additional
SIS for business calls.
Delegate Charles C. Marbury
Cd, Prince Georges, lost his fight
to have the house pass his bill
which would allow the court of
appeals to fix the educational re-
cuirements of an applicant for
admission to the bar. A similar
bill, offered in the senate by Sen
ator Ridgely P. Melvin CD of
Anne Arundel county, was defeated
in the upper body.
The senate yesterday passed
the $62,000,000 budget bill with
the amendment that would limit
the expenditures for an investi-
CATION of the departments Of the
State by a commission to be ap-
pointed by the governor to $50
900 instead Of the $150,000 as
asked.
To Reach House Today
The budget bill is expected to
reach the house today from the
ways and means committee to
which it is referred.
The senate also passed a bill
which would make the sale of
any poison possible only under a
prescription similar to that re
quired for narcotics. The mari
hauna bill, as offered by Delegate
Jacob Blum, also passed the SEN
ate and now awaits the signature
Of Gov. Harry w. Nice.
This bill not only outlaws mari
hauna but also drugs derived from
coal tar products, which are ex-
empted under the Harrison Mar
cotic act and prohibits a druggist
or doctor who has been found to
be an addict Of drugs or to have
been convicted of their sale, illeg-
ally, from again obtaining a
license to deal in drugs.
The bill introduced in the House
by Delegate Philip Miller OO,
Anne Arundel, to ban inter-racial
marriages, also passed in the
Senate.
