ABA FIGHTS j, 8.
BANK CONTROL

Striking at the heart Of the
Administrations banking bill,
the American Bankers Association
yesterday demanded it be purged
Of provisions for centralized bank
control.
The demands were contained in
letter to Chairman Steagall of
the House Banking and Currency.
Committee, and incorporated in
the record after the committee
had heard testimony of Robert H.
Hemphill, financial authority, rep
resenting the national monetary
conference.
Mr.. Hemphill urged the Federal
Reserve and National Banking
System be Scrapped, the u. S.
Treasury be made the depository
of all Government funds, and in.
dependent banks be placed under
exclusive State control.
The ABA indorsed the first and
third sections of the act, but in
sisted the controversial second
section be revised. It proposed:
!. To strip the Secretary of the
Treasury and Comptroller Of Cur
rency of their ex-officio member
ship on the Federal Reserve Board
and cut its membership from eight
to five, leaving the President but
one appointee, the governor.
2. To fix the term Of office of
reserve bank governors and vice
governors at three years, instead
of one, to preserve their independ-
ence.

GOV. NICE ASKED
To APPROVE
81 TAX BAN

ROCKVILLE, Nd. March 23.
Members of the United Young
Mems Democratic Clubs Of Mont
gomery county have adopted a
resolution urging Governor Nice
to approve the bill recently
passed by the Maryland general
assembly which would abolish the
81 delinquent tax sale charge IN
the county, it was learned today.
James w. Cummings, jr., preSi-
dent Of the club, today pointed
out that the 81 extra charge on
each piece of real estate which
is sold in the county at a de-
linquent tax sale is allocated to
the clerk to the board of county
commissioners as an addition to
his regular salary, and the only
connection he has with the tax
sale is to list the properties sold.
Other members of the club as
serted they were not opposed to
the Commissioners raising the
salary Of the clerk but they feel
that it is an imposition on the
county taxpayers to add an ad-
ditional charge to a tax bill
which the taxpayer has been
financially unable to pay.
At the next regular meeting Of
the club to be held on April /,
committee composed of James
Christopher, John R. Spats, 10.
seph Hoyle and j. S. Dawson.
will report on the political activ-
tiles of the county.

A Threat to Personal Credit.
tNew York Herald Tribune.)

Not so much in New York as in small towns is the injustice of the pink slip provisions for in come tax publicity likely to make itself most felt In New York people too occupied with their own affairs to do much prying. But in smaller towns, where the general standing of the leading through the monetary rise or fall in incomes may be unknown, there is serious danger that the pink slips may not only damage regulations but even bring about financial disaster for worthy individuals
 This is particularly true of professional and busi- ness and merchants To be forced to disclose the public gaze the extent of temporary or of inability to collect accounts due may well unjustly impair the individuals credit standing and injure his business. The pink slip is devised as to publish the gross income, the authorizable deductions Gin toto) and the tax payable It takes but moments thought to realize that these figures by no means give accurate picture of the indvid- ual's financial status professional man, for example, who able to collect only a portion of his fees in a bad year might nevertheless have excellent claims which he could ultimately real ize. In the lean year his financial position would appear from the pink slips much worse than in fact it was, and if in the next year many back payments made it would much better In either the credit and social standing of the individual in the community would be unfairly af- fected. t
 To the argument that the country has the right to know the size of the of rich individuals the answer is that such right exists. What the country and should demand, however, is tht rich and poor alike pay their taxes. This pur pose is not abetted by the pink slips. All that these slips do is to throw certain-and often misleadng-light who is and who is not keep ing up with the Joneses." Even if the figures to to be made correct measure of the indi- vduals income there is useful purpose served by giving them out. The pink slip provision can and should be repealed.

Nayies Hate Restrictions.
(Kansas City Star. )

The typical big navy point of view expressed in article in The Star recently that said: "The long and short of it is that the United States ty in 1922 in the signing of the reduction treaty of that year and nobody else surrendered much of anything"
 This statement ignores the fact that all four of the other countries which signed the Washing ton naval treaty thought they making sub stantia concessions. Both the British and the Japanese governments bitterly criticized at the time for betraying their national interests in ccptng the 5-5-3 ratio, while France and Italy were dissatisfied with their quotas that they could not be induced to enter the next naval conference in 193o.
 What is important, the big navy point of view completely fails to recognize the great advan tages that the United States and the whole world gained from the Washington and London treaties These advantages include years of freedom from the fear of another naval construction race such preceded the World War, the ending of the American relations, the creating of the 9-power pact which for decade improved international rela- tions under of greater security, the elim- mating of friction by settling at least temporarily what naval bases should be fortified and extensive economies for the United States and the other par ticpating nations.
 The system Of naval limitation, based sonable conception of national defense needs, seems about to end because the Japanese big navy advo- cates control their Governments policy. Such an outcome would be serious blow at the cause of peace.

REAL AIDS TO ENFORCEMENT.

The Liquor Board in reporting it's experience of the last two years to the Legislature just ended said it's main complaints came as result of dis orderly and boisterous conduct in and around beer parlors. The District Attorneys office pointed out to the lawmakers that it's hands were tied for lack of adequate laws Incorporated towns could by ordinance handle their problems but that there was no regulation whatever outside of cities and towns
 AS result there was placed on the statute books at the recent legislative session two laws which should do much to curb such conditions. One of these is the disorderly conduct act and the other fixes penalty on reckless and drunken driving.
 Both are far reaching in scope, the disorderly conduct act extending to the private home in cases where the disturbance or annoyance may bother others. It prohibits obscene profane language and drinking or drunkenness in any public place such as card rooms, hotel lobbies beer par lors theatres dance halls Persons convicted would be guilty of misdemeanor and the penalty may be up to $3OO fine or imprisonment for six months, or both fine and imprisonment.
 Driving automobile in reckless manner or in such to endanger the safety Of others driving while under the influence of liquor or drugs carries a penalty. Fine of from s25 to $500 or imprisonment of from five days to six months applies in the of reckless driving while fer drunken driving the statute has more teeth Tn It. For the llTSJ the penalty calls for a fine of from s25 to $100 imprison- rnent of from five days to 90 days For the second offense the fine may be $l0o to $500 or imprison- ment from 30 days to nine months while the third offense means imprisonment of not less than one year and up to five years. The persons hiring a driver addicted to the excessive of intoxicating liquor or narcotic drugs also would be held liable and would be subject to fine of five dollars day for every day such person is engaged.
 Alaska with it's 6O000 inhabitants scattered over 60O0O0 square miles has particular problem as compared with thickly populated centers in the States but one drunken driver wreck more havoc in of little towns than he could m the heart of New York City. There is scarcely a penalty too severe for the drunken driver wherever he may be- He is potential murderer and Le penalty ascribed by the Legislature is fitting.
 The disorderly conduct act will give strength to enforcement both inside well as outside incor- porated towns and places in the hands of the authorities a weapon they have long needed
