COUNTY FIGHTS
DIPHTHERIA

UPPER MARLBORO, January
22-Dr. A. B. Hooton, Prince,
Georges county health officer,
yesterday issued a warning to-
mothers of children of school age.
to have the children inoculated
against diphtheria as soon as pos
Sible.
The death of a one-year-old chill
in Brentwood Saturday and the
presence of a number Of quaran-
tine cases in the metropolitan area
of the county have caused the
health authorities some apprehen'
sion.
DR.. Hooton said:
although that death and
the presence of eleven cases Of "
diphtheria do not necessarily
indicate that an epidemic is
imminent, it would be wise for
the mothers to have their
children inoculated immedi-
ately."
The quarantine cases in the,
county are distributed as follows:
Mt. Rainier, 7; HyattSville, l;
Cottage City, /; and one on the
Sligo Mill Road.

PERRY WARNS
TAX BOOST
LOOMS
BY staff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. GA
flat warning that social security
legislation at this time in Virginia
will force an increase in taxes
was sounded by Governor George
C. Peery last night when he ap'
peared before a joint committee
of the house committee on appro'
priations and the senate finance
committee.
Governor Peery appeared to eX'
plain the major and a number of
apparently minor items in the bud
get bill which is now before both
houses. His reference to the so
cial security bills was caused by
the knowledge his program asking
for a commission to study the
problem during the next two
years is going to be attacked and
bills proposing the immediate in.
auguration of such a program will
be offered shortly.
First Direct State Relief
Governor Perry said:
II favor few bills calling for
the expenditure of money which
are not contained in this budget
bill. Those which are passed
should declare how the money
is to be raised. The items in the
budget are financed from rev.
enue the State can well expect
to receive.
1T has been the established
practice of Virginia to pay as
you go and buy only those things
for which we can pay. This
budget calls Cor an apprOpria.
ton Of S1,33O,OOO for direct re.
lief, the first such step Virginia
has taken. Heretofore, Federal,
local and highway commission
funds have been used. However,
we are about to lose the Federal
contributions, and the burden
will be too great upon the COM
munities.
"Under this direct relief plan
the money to be spent under
the joint direction of local au-
thOritieS and the State welfare
bOard-the persons for whom
aid is sought under the social
security legislation will be cared
for"
Budget Politics DeplOred
Governor Peery told the com
mittees he was sorry" politics
had been injected in the budget
request for a per cent restora
ton Of the State employees pay
cut and restoration of the 80 pei
cent cut county officers had
taken in the States contribution
to their salaries.
Appropriation of $4,000 to fl
nance survey of the State en-
ployeS in order to obtain the
basis of a uniform salary scale
and to do away with existing
inequalities was urged by Cover.
nor Peery.
because of the recent epidemic
of infantile paralysis in Virginia
Governor Peery urged greater ap
preparations to the Department OF
Health. He also asked that a State
farm for woman felonS be insti
tuted in Goochland county.

December, 1895, relief expendi.
lures in Maryland totaled $50,

Comptroller william S. Gordy, jr.
This sum includes both State

basis of the 1880 census represents
a gross outlay of $30.95 per capita
for the entire population during

SLOT MACHINE
BAN SOUGHT
INVIRGINIA
By a Staff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. ga
bill to ban slot machines in Vir.
ginia was introduced in the gen.
eral assembly here yesterday by
Delegates John B. Spiers, Rad
ford, and C. C. Quesenberry,
Waynesboro.
Slot machines were defined as
any machine with a slot in which
a coin or slug may be inserted
to make it operate and which,
because of "unpredictable out
come" carries an element =
chance on anything of value.
Penalties for violation Of the
law would range from fine Of
$50 to ST, 900, or prison terms run
ming from one to IL months,
either or both.
More Speed Urged
Another resolution designed to
speed the action of the assembly
was offered in the House by Dele
gate William N. Neff, Abingdon,
who asked that all haste conSiS-
tent with proper committee con
Sideration of bills be exercised.
He added this was sought to
avoid congestion in the closing
weeks of the assembly. 1t was
pointed out by Delegate Neff that
little had been accomplished in
the two weeks the assembly had
been in session.
A bill to provide for mandatory
reasSesSment of real estate in
Arlington and Fairfax counties
every four years, beginning in
1910, was offered by Delegate
William D. Medley, Of Arlington.
While this bill does not start the
mandatory reaSSesSments until
