RELIEF BURDEN MUST b
RORNE BY STATE

A permanent relief burden of s.
767 families containing no employ
able members-which must be borne
entirely by the State in addition to
its share of old-age pensioners, de-
pendent children and industrial mis-
fists revealed in a Statewide
analysis made public by Harry
Greenstein, Maryland Relief Admin
istrator.
II the recent city average Of about
$3.50 a week for each family's sup
port could be applied to the State as
a whole this group of unemployable
cases alone would represent an an
nual cost of approximately ST.
$4,000.
Costs of relief in the counties,
however, generally run lower than in
the city.
The unemployable group, accord
ing to Mr.. Greenstein, contains 1884
cases in which eligibility for laid to
dependent children" can be establish
ed when the Federal Social Security
Board begins to function, but the
Government will contribute only one
third of the costs.
On the other side of the picture,
there are an additional 61,344 cases
on the State relief rolls, involving
persons eligible for old-age pensions,
who are not included in the total OF
strictly "unemployable" cases. Even
when the old-age pension plan is
fully in effect, the Federal Govern
ment will contribute only half the
costs, the State will have to provide
one-third and the local communities
will be called on for one-sixth.

DRINK BILL OF THE U. s.

U. S. Treasury figures disclose that
Americans drank the following gal
Ions of alcohol beverages during the
year which ended June 80, 1885:
Beer, 1851, 954,343 gallons, estima.-
I'd cost to public, $1,730,501, $50;
liquors, 65,544,931 gallons, estimat-
ed cost to the public, $7S6,539.172
wines (estimated) 25,OOO,OO0 gal
ons, estimated cost TO public, $780,
100000; estimated total cost, ST.
567,04O,731.
The dry leaders estimate that the
public consumed millions Of gallons
If bootleg liquors, which they con-
end costs drinkers 81, O0O,O00,0 900 to
s2,O0O,OO0,OO0, in addition to the
Governments estimated total cost.
Further increase in the consump-
ton of intoxicating beverages is
shown by recent statement of dis
filling and brewing interests. These
interests claim that the rapid in
crease in consumption of legalized
products shows that the bootlegger is
being wiped out; also that this in
crease means greater returns for
labor and agriculture. The "drys"
ridicule this claim. They point to
the destructive, disorganizing effect
Of the increased consumption of alco-
hol upon the human system, the in
creased accidents, the demoraiizing
influence upon society, and the diver
sion of 10 of the Nations income
for the year ending June 80, 1895,
from the purchase of manufactured
commodities, such as foods, shoes,
clothing. furniture, etc.
The Association Against the Pro-
hibi.ion Amendment estimated that
in 1881 the public was paying an
nually $2.S4S.OO0.Se9, for it's drink
bill, which they point oNt is only
$3.50, 900 under the present esti-
mated cost of the Nations consumpv
ton of intoxicants.
The dry" leaders hold that there
is no way of determining either the
quantity or cost of the intoxicants
consumed under the Prohibition
Amendment, but since the cost Of
intoxicating beverages was very
much greater then than now, the
Nation is drinking. based on the
figures OF the Wet Association. three
or four times as many gallons of in
toxicants~ as it did under the 18th
Amendment. !.

ACTION

Asserting that the State Roads
Commission has more than $4,-

available for road construction, State
Senator Harry T. Phoebus, (Rep

This is no time for politics to be
paying a part in relief" Senator
Phoebus said. Something must be
done and done Immediately to NEE.
the situation which is growing more
serious daily.
There is only one reason that
some of my friends and l can see
that is preventing the expenditure of
this road money. Thai is the adj
ministration wants to keep it for ex-
penditure next year before the party's
State convention. The road money
distributed and spent at that time
would be of inestimable help to the
Governor and his faction within the
Republican party in Maryland.
But the political future of the
Governor, of legislators, of myself,
of everybody in the State must be
subordiated to the actualities, the
realities at hand. Party politics,
party State conventions, local poll
teal maneuverings must be shunted,
sidetracked at once and the road
money put to work in order to give
the people who will soon go off the
Federal dole the employment they
must have.
Governor Nice should recall, :"
continued Phoebus, "the recent cpl
sode relating to the oystermen-
when he said no relief could be given
them when they were unable to get
license money. When the Governor
saw aid coming from the Mayor of
Baltimore he quickly found way to
aid the watermen. Let him not
lodge the issue now. Let him give
he order that will start the road
building program"

Whatever immunity a foreign en-

Whatever immunity foreign en-
voy may have from arrest, that i'm
munity does not grant him the Ii
cense to violate laws, as he sees fit,
and it is a safe bet that if the honor
able Persian minister had not been
violating the traffic law in Elkton,
and had not resisted the officers he
would not have suffered the "indig-
mites" he has since been bowling
about. In this connection comes a
plain hint from Secretary Hull, in a
statement issued Friday, to the effect
that the United States expects for
eign ENJOYS to observe this country's
laws Notwithstanding their privilege
of diplomatic immunity.
He made it in announcing apologies

The formal apologies of Governor
Nice of Maryland, together with an
expression of regret by the United

HIGH WAY ACCIDENTS THIS

And Accidents not only Con-
tinue, but Actually Increase"
Expressions of shivery horror at

read pamphlet of the decade, And

opinion of Keystone Automobile Club
of Maryland officials, "unless m
florists carry their good intentions to
the drivers seat, instead of parking
them in the comfortable armchair at

Last summer the public was
amazed and, it was thought, sobered
by the daring recital of highway &C
cident results in the ]. c. Furnas ar
-icle," said Garrison P. Knox, Man
ager of the Club. For months It
has been major topic of converse
ton throughout the United States,
with unanimous acceptance of its
conclusions by motorists and the
puDllc generally.
1T is with somewhat of a shock,
therefore, that safety advocates
learn that highway accidents for this
year probably will be the greatest on
record, figures released by the Ma
tional Safety Council showing that
the 28,760 death toll for the first ten
months exceeds the number for the
same period last year. October's
total deaths, 3640, exceeded by 24O
the August mortality, which had
been the highest of the year.

emphasize, that motorists good in
tentions are of value only when they
are carried out in actual driving. 1t
is not enough to agree that some
thing ought to be done Each indi-
vidual has it in his own power to
do it, The Furnas article and all
the other safety lessons ever written

GOOD WILL ON THE ROAD

The Holiday season is a peculiarly
fitting time to emphasize the obliga-

more than passive interest that the
Yuletide closes that quarter of the
year when automobile accidents,
deaths and injuries are at an annual
peak, according to the National Blu
reau of Casualty and Surety Under
writer's. How horrible is the thought
that as we approach the days when
the sentiment. Good Will to ALL" is
glorifed throughout the land, the
carnage Of wrecks and broken bodies
is strewn more than ever oyer the
face of our country.
A great deal has been said about
the necessity of courtesy in driving
as an accident preventive measure.
Driving at speeds reasonable for con-
ditions, sharing the road, passing
properly. using correct hand signals,
avoiding all those actions which
make driving dangerous and uncom-
Portable for the other fellow, are the
dictates OF courtesy and manners.
So, too, are they dictates of the prin-
ciple Of the good neighbor. Good
driving, with q real desire to safe
guard the lives of those exposed 70

Statistician Reveals Virginia Lo-

Former Revenue.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, July 6.-Figures
prepared by A. B. Clarke, statistician
of the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board, show that Virginia 10
calities will receive approximately
twice as much revenue from the sale
of liquor under the present control
plan than they did under the pre-pro-
hibtion license system.
The State will receive four times
as much, Clarke's figures show.
In 1913, he says, towns and cities
received about S530,000 in local IL
censes. The counties received moth
ing. This year the localities will share
about ST 100000 in A. B. C. earnings
plus some $155,000 in local beer and
wine licenses. The State. in 1913.
received S530,000 from licenses. This
year S2,175,000 will be paid into the
States Golfers from liquor sale profits
In addition, a S50OO,00O reserve fund
has been set aside by the State for
the operation of the monopoly.
Counter to the general trend is the
case of Norfolk which, in 1918. re-
ceived $128454 from 174 establish
ments. This year the city will receive
approximately $78,551 in profits and
