ATTORNEY GENERAL. SUBMITS
REPORT

Pointing out that five hundred and
eighty-three official opinions were
rendered by his Office to State Off
Gals during the year 1888, Attorney
General Herbert r. OConor last
week submitted report TO Governor
Harry w. Nice governing briefly part
Of the work performed during The
year. -<*'>
statistics of the State Law De-
partment indicate that this is the
largest number of official opinions
any Attorney General of Maryland
ever has been called upon to render.
1T was believed that some of this
extra work was caused by the great
lumber and variety of acts passed
oy the regular session Of the General
Assembly last year; another con-
tributing factor was thought to be
he change in administration, with
.a1ge number of new Office holders
n the State. .
Mr.. O'Conor further pointed out
that great amount of the work OF
the office consisted of consulting
with and advising members of the
General Assembly : during their
ninety-day session in Annapolis last
winter, with the holding OF an cleo
ton contest in Baltimore City and
with matters concerned with work Of
the Interstate Crime Compact Com
mission, of which General O'Conor
was named Chairman by the Gov
ernor. ~

NEW CODE OF LAWS FOR MOTOR
VEHICLES

A new code of laws for the opera
ton Of motor vehicles in Maryland
will be presented to the special ses-
sion of the Legislature in March, it
has been announced by John E.
Raine. Mr.. Raine is chairman OF the
Governor's commission on revision OF
the motor laws.
The purpose of the revised code
is to promote safety on the high
ways and reduce the number of acct
dents and fatalities"
The idea behind the original motor
laws was primarily revenue. The
new code, however. according to Mr..
Raine, will remove them from that
category. They will be unified
under a single article. The new
code is modelled upon national code
suggested by the Bureau Of Public
Roads.

There is way out of every human
difficulty, no matter how hopeless it
may appear to be, a right way, a
quiet way, a way which will bless
all concerned, the sort of way of which
the prophet once wrote, "For We shall
go out with joy, and be led forth with
peace"
In quoting from Isaiah l am re-
minded to say what doubtless most
of you already know, that Christian
Science derives its sanction from the
Bible. Our textbook is named, "Science
and Health with Key to the Script
ures," and it was written by Mary
Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and
Founder of Christian Science, and it's
only Leader. One of the religious
tenets of Christian Science, to which
all members of the church subscribe.
reads as follows, in Science and
Health Up. 49D: GAS adherents of
Truth, we take the inspired Word of
the Bible as our sufficient guide to
eternal Life" That ought to silence
the thought that Christian Scientists
do not read the Bible, as has been said.
On the contrary, they read and study
it daily. To them it is still the Book
of books, and no book can ever super
sede it.
1t was when studying this book that
Mrs. Eddy's own healing came about.
After reading some passages from
Matthew's Gospel, and applying them
to her own case, she was able to heal
herself of an injury caused by an
accident, pronounced fatal by the
physicians. She literally "rose and
walked" to the establishment of all
beholders. But this was not enough.
She must help other sufferers also to
find their freedom. So she spent three
years in studying the Bible and search
ng for the solution Of this problem Of
-lind-healing, proving it over and over
again, until 10; last she was ready to
oy12body the result Of her iI1vasGiga-
lions in the book just mentioned.
And then?--I often think of those
early days, when there was just one
Christian Scientist on earth, when
Mrs. Eddy stood alone with God, tri-
umphant over ''the sings and arrows
Of outrageous fortune" untouched by
the gibes and iecrs of those who did
not understand. Her first happy con-

With a new farm bill starting its
troublous way through Congress,
President Roosevelt has asked from
Congress s2s6,1s5,OOO in supple
mental appropriations to pay for con-
timing obligations under the OLD
Agricultural Adjustment Act.
The money, larger than had been
anticipated, is to pay rental ana
benefits on farm contracts already
carried out under the outlawed farm
program. All these contracts were
written prior to Jan. 6, when the
Supreme Court threw out AAA. 1t

PERMANENT PLAN FOR AGRI-
CULTURE SUGGESTED By
DIR. SYMONS


Principles used by a number of
the cooperative dairy associations in
marketing milk are suggested as a
basis for permanent plan for agri-
culture by DR.. T. B. Symons, director
of the extension service. According
to this plan, he states, a producer is
assured definite price for certain
basic amount of production. He is
free to produce as much more than
his basic allotment as he may desire,
but must take his own chance as to
the price he will receive for any and
all production beyond his so-called
base"
The principle embodied in this
plan, DR.. Symons explains, is based
upon the fact that continuing milk
supply must be maintained for a
given market or city. To provide a
uniform supply, the producer must be
given assurance of basic price that
will enable him to maintain his herd
md his farm and to continue in the
,arming business. This plan, it is
stated, is sufficiently elastic that il
Ices not prohibit increasing the herd
md the production of surplus milk.
it does provide for handling of sur
plus, which is over and above the
Jasic quantity assigned to the pro-
lucer, at much lower price. Con-
,equently, there is little incentive for
he farmer to produce surplus and
he lower price serves as a brake on
Continued production in excess of the
luantity that can be disposed of at
he basic price.
81 can see no convincing reason"
Dr.. Symons declared, why this same
principle cannot be applied to all
major agricultural products. l be-
.ieve that a farm can be- given
uitable quota for production of diff
erent major crops and that the farm
9r can be assured a reasonable price
)ased upon fair exchange, or parity,
or production of his basic quota.
lie can produce in excess any quaint
ty he desires, for it would be sold
n the common market at the So
allied world or general price. He
would be given the difference be-
,ween the general sale price and the
parity price on his basic production
MY" Funds for such payments, he
uggested, might be raised by either
pecial or general taxes, or Other
institutional means.
In his opinion, this proposal does
lot differ essentially from the policy
hat has existed in industry in this
.ountry for years, wherein the tarlft
has insured to manufacturers prices
hat would return a profit on reason
able production. No one associated
with agriculture, he asserted, and nc
.armer desires from the Government
ubsidies or benefits that are no,
ommon to other citizens. The
armer desires to maintain his free
Iom to act in production, as well a.
other activities.
Among the advantages of the pro
Josed plan, it was stated that ii
would eliminate the general criticism
f possible RECOMMENDATION of agrlcul-
.ure and contorl of production, anu

Conditions wherein the agricultural
industry was seriously jeopardized.
It is urged also that the plan woulu

IWILFUL DEFAULTS
 NOTED IN LOANS
'HOLC's Foreclosures in City, State Among Larg-
 est in COutry

Connecticut, with Waterbury con- tributing its share, continues to have more foreclosures by the Home own CTS Loan Corporation than other states in the country, according to latest reports from Washington. The HOLC has recently been granted several foreclosures in superior and common pleas courts here, and addi- tional suits have been filed against borrowers served by the office in this district.
 Offlcial figures show that up to May l, the HOLC had begun fore closure actions in a total of 425 cases. This figure compares with a total of 10,279 loans granted in this state.
 The figures show one foreclosure proceeding in every 24 loans. The national average is one for each 6S loans, showing that the percentage of defaulters in this state is quite high.
 Of the 425 cases in which fore- closures were begun, no less than SIS or close to 75 per cent involved wilful default, the borrowers simply refusing to meet their monthly pay ments. The national figure on will ful defaults as compared with total defaults is about 63 per cent.

POLICE TO START
 CHECKON AUTOS

Police today completed the dis tribution of hundreds of pink slips signed by both Superintendent ot Police William J. Roach and Com missioner of Motor Vehicles Mich- ael A. Connor and issued to speed up the semi-annual inspection of motor vehicles at the Thomaston avenue lane. The slips were dis- tributed to parked cars along the citys streets by patrolmen both yes- terday and this morning and are ex- pected to start a rush of drivers to the testing station. Only one month remains before the station closes and approximately half the cars in the local district have yet to be checked.
 In order to complete the inspec- tions on schedule. 800 cars per day must be presented at the lane. With scores being returned for re-checks after failure to pass the first test. the daily jam of cars is believed unavoidable.
 A similar rush ct the Hartford station resulted in the adoption of d resolution by the Hartford Cham Der of Commerce asking that the lane be kept open until the final hour of daylight each night or that private garages be authorized to make the inspection.

Mellon Has a Hunch

Andrew W. Mellon, former secre- tary of the Treasury and one of the worlds wealthiest men, recently dts- cussed the political campaign and the Republican party'g prospects with an old friend.
 He urged the need of har- mony, of working together" in- sisted that the g.o.p. was the domi- nant party, and said that the iT- dependents and progressives could be attracted back into the fold this year by a few concessions.
 Mellon may not have been as far off base as most New Dealers would suggest. If you will check the long list of the national ad- vlsOry committee of the National Progressive League for Franklin D. Roosevelt" as of 1882, you will find that about half the members are now against the New Deal.
 A few of the deserters will vote the Socialist ticket, but most Of them would be willing to accept any Republican candidate who made a pretense of liberalism.
 It's a good bet that the 1886 cam paign will see two special progress sive" committees. one Republican and one Democratic.
