Vigorous opposition to the propos-
ed increase of two cents per gallon
in the tax on gasoline is expressed in
a statement by Garrison P. Knox,
Manager of the Keystone Automobile
Club of Maryland, who denounces
the proposal as "a shameless shifting
of the relief burden"
In letter addressed to all men,
bers of the Club, Mr.. Knox enlists
the individual support of the mem
bership in the fight, telling them the
campaign against gas increase can be
won by concerted action and urging
them to impress upon their repre-
sentatives in the Legislature their
unalterable opposition to the pro-
posal.

FARM BUREAU IN THICK OF
TAX FIGHT
State Income Tax and Luxury Taxes
Urged To Provide Revenue
Sales Tax Opposed


Every farmer in Maryland is being
urged to throw his support back Oh
the program of organized agricul-
ture in the State at the special SEES
sion of the Legislature now well
under way at Annapolis. The lines
are clearly drawn, and center arouno
the old, old question of who shall
oe taxed and how much?"
Faced with the necessity of raising
additional revenue because of relief,
old age pensions, and other demands
on the State treasury, legislators OF
che State have been called together
20 enact an emergency tax program.
FOR number of months various tax
paying interests of the State have
0een preparing for this session,
anxious that additional revenue rails
ing shall not be done at their ex-
pense. Merchants of the State have
neld dozens of meetings to prepare
their fight against sales or gross re-
ceipts taxes. Highway users are OUT
20 see that there is no gas tax di-
version and that gas taxes will be
decreased rather than boosted Other
interests have been working publicly
and privately for the same ends.
Organized farmers started prepar-
ng for the fight many months ago
when the State Grange and Mary
land Farm Bureau Federation named
a joint tax committee to study the
situation and make recommends
lions. The report of this committee
was made public in December ana
nas been approved at annual meet
lngs of both State organizations.
The farm group program and
recommendations were the first to be
made public and furnished the legis-
lators. In an exhaustive study, one
Of the most comprehensive that has
oeen made by farmers of any State,
the farmers committee outlined tax
needs and made definite recon-
mendations as to how additional
revenue shall be raised.
The organized farmers program is
built around recommendations for
State income tax with luxury taxes
applied as necessary to furnish such
additional revenue as may be needed
to guarantee State operations. TIC
support their program, farmers cali
attention to the fact that a tax on in
comes is based on the most accurate
measure existing at present of plac-
ing the tax load on those who are
able to pay and receive the benefits
of government. Luxury taxes, too
do not place the burden on those who
are least able to pay additional taxes.
About three weeks before the spe-
cial session convened at Annapolis,
the tax committee named by Cover
nor Nice some months ago made
public it's report and recommends
tions. The program of this COM
mittee for raising the additional
revenue centered around the adop-
ton of retail sales tax.
Indications during the first week
of sessions were that the Governors
program was far from being uni
versally acceptable, and the sales tax
was killed with no delay. In fact, it
looked as though the Legislature had
40 porgram, and an entirely new one
would have to be built. A stormy
session is expected

FLOOD UFFERER NEED
RELIEF

To meet the emergency that has
been caused by the worst flood to
occur in the last half century, In
eleven Eastern States, leaving trail
of devastation in its path, followed
by privation, disease and untold sur
fering of thousands left homeless,
and other thousands deprived of
their regular employment, the Red
Cross is appealing for funds with
which to carry on their mercy work.
Maryland was one Of the States
swept by the disastrous flood, which
brought suffering in the Potomac
river and the Susquehanna river
valleys.
Property damage was great, but
the pitiful plight of the homeless, in
sufficiently clad and fed demands i'm
mediate relief.
The situation in Western Mary
land is especially desperate where in
the city of Cumberland and other
towns aleng the Potomac river bust
ness and industrial activities were
completely paralyzed, and in many
instances all stocks and food sup
plies in stores ruined.
The Red Cross is carrying ON re-
lief work but must have additional
funds. The appeal is urgent and
every citizen who can possibly do so
should contribute in order that aid
may be given his less fortunate
neighbor in this desperate situation.

branded as not "a panacea or as a
final plan," but rather as "a new
basis to build and improve upon as
experience discloses its points of
weakness and of strength"
Production contracts, either for
specific crops or farms, are not con-
templated under the new act. Rath-
er, farmers will receive payments
conditional upon their cooperation in
growing soil conservation crops such
as grasses and legumes in place of
soil depicting crops such as cotton.

plagued weeds have taken my
garden-What are weeds for any
way! Jest a nuisance is all | know"
That amt what you think, is it?
Please don't think that. Believe
that "a weed is only flower out of
place" Think of 'em like that, and
then, if you like, you can preach
yeself some of the purtiest little
sermons on that thought as the text.
Flowers out of place, maybe
The thought even fits you. Perhaps
you're workin' so hard, tryin yer
best and accomplishing apparently
% little. Maybe you've got every
natural talent to be a great lawyer,
but circumstances willed differently;
you're a-struggling along as store
keeper or miller,-a flower out of
place.
Some years back a survey was
made in a certain state to find out
he cause of fai.u Il SO MANI
farmers in that section. 1t showed
500 of the men who'd moved onto
farms and made failures had no pre-
vious farming experience, and 500
had had no capital to start with.
These farmers included BARRIERS,
paperhangers, cigar makers, pair
Of rasslers, a brick layer, deep sea
diver, six old maids, and a milliner.
Maybe all capable in their regular
jobs, but as armers,-wceds -,
flowers out of place!'
We praise or laugh at a lot of
queer ideas to help or hinder things
n these hectic times of ours, bit did
you know they have a law in Ten
nessee, passed away back yonder and
copied from a North Carolina law,
that if a Teller takes grist To the
mill and the miller doesn't grind it
in rotation as it comes in, he can be
fined Steven if one Teller lives
little ways from the mill and another
three mics away and wants to get
home by milking time, the grind
ing's got to be done in the order as
they come.
If it's water mill, if the miller
axes more than the one-eighth toll,
he is subject to S. fine; if it's
steam MILL he can take TENTH
any more or less and the Court can
put a IS fine on him and slap him in
jail too.
Here's the "Old Maids. Creed" for
your scrapbook
II believe in Fate-inexorable
master of destinies-which con-
signs one woman to the happy
slavery of marriage, and another to
the limbo of the unclaimed
81 believe in the law of compensa-
ton, which gives in exchange for
the privilege Of listening to her mas
ter's voice, the right to carry her
own latchkey, and tell other people
how to raise their children"

TO MARYLAND's OWN FLOWER
By GEORGE ELLISTON

A black eyed daisy holds my heart
And takes me back to Maryland.
A blackeyed daisy for my sight
The State that claims it, my COM
mand.
Is there a flower, l ask of you
More gently beautiful than this,
On which the sun in petals bright
Has left it's imprint in a kiss?
What lovelier could be to match
That glowing fringe than conferred
brown
The daisy shows? I challenge you
To find in house or field or town.
A flower that shines more radiant
Than Maryland's State flower
a toast
To Maryland I give you and
To this fair flower that is her boast
