FARM BUREAU PRESIDENT SAYS
SALES TAX NOT FAIREST
LEVY

Organized farmers of Maryland are
disappointed that the Governors tax
committee did not recommend a state
income tax and will continue to urge
he adoption of the recommendation
made some. months ago by the joint
ak committe of the State Grange and
Maryland Farm Bureau Federation,
according to Harry H. Nuttle, presi-
dent of the state farm bureau or
ganization. The farm group recon-
mendations asked that an income tax
be given first consideration in the
raising of the necessary additional
revenues which must be provided at
he coming special session of the
legislature.
There is probably no tax which
will please everyone, nor rest with
absolute fairness on all tax payers"
Mr. Nuttle said in discussing the
Governors tax report. "The sales
tax, however, is recognized as a tax
on the necessity to spend. That
means that it will take much higher
toll proportionately from the lower
income groups. The income tax,
with low exemptions. falls upon those
who are able, because of their in
comes, to bear a greater share of the
cost of government
The recent farm organization tax
report shows that % states are using
general income taxes and five addi-
tional states are taxing some forms of
income. Mr.. Nuttle points out. The
same report shows that 23 states are
using the retail sales tax for the
production of revenue for their state
treasures, he says.
There is no question about the
need of revnue, and the farm groups
are interested in supporting the pro-
gram which will place the burden on
those who have the ability to pay and
receive benefits from government"
the farm bureau president says.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The House
of Representatives today paid tribute
to former Gov. Albert G. Richie,
giving its unanimous approval to a
memorial resolution presented by
Representative Goldsborough (Dem.,

The memorial was drafted at a
meeting of the six Maryland House
members late yesterday in Mr.. Colds
boroughs Office and is as follows:
IA great man has passed out of the
life of this nation. Ex-Gov. Albert
C. Richie of Maryland was not only
an outstanding personality in his
State, but an outstanding figure in
the entire republic.
wherever the distinguished men
of the United States were spoken OF
Governor Ritchie's name was men
toned prominently and honorabiy.
"The Maryland members of the
House of representatives of the
United States each feel deep per-
sonal loss at the passing of Governor
Richie, and ask unanimous consent
that this memorial may be embodied
in the permanent records of Con-
gress."

TAX DEDUCTIONS ALLOWED TO
MOTOR VEHICLE OWNERS

Income tax deductions and exemp-
lions allowed to motor vehicle own

bia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Mary
land Massachusetts, Michigan, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
North Carolina, Rhode Island, Yer
mont, Virginia and West Virginia.
Pennsylvania and New Jersey motor
lists will be interested to know that
deduction may be made for Delaware
River bridge tolls
"On the other hand, differences in
local laws make a similar deduction
unlawful as to gasoline and oil pur-
chased in any one of the following
Jurisdictions: Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina and Tennessee. This rule
also applies to the Federal gasoline
tax.
Damage to the motor vehicle, for
which no compensation has been
made, and legal interest paid on

THE POLITICAL PARADE

The political parade is getting
underway now, with bandwagons on
every corner. Principal attention is
naturally centered on the Republi-
cans, as only miracle OF the first
dimension could prevent the renomi-
nation of President Roosevelt.
Two candidates for the Republican
nomination have definitely thrown
their hats into the ring-Colonel
Knox, publisher of the Chicago News,
a conservative, and famed Senator
Borah of Idaho, liberal. Both
these men have entered their name
in the Illinois primaries, where real
test of their respective strength will
be had. Colonel Knox is sure to
have the backing of the "old-line"
Republicans, while Senator Borah is
enthusiastically endorsed by the
progressive group" Common be-
lief is that Senator Borah would be
unbeatable in western and mid
western primaries, might run into
trouble in the east.
Governor Landon of Kansas is also
seeking the nomination, is known to
have scouts at work in various states
seeking to determine his popularity.
Two big newspaper publishers
Paul Bloch and William Randolph
Hearst-are strong for Governor
Landon, and he also has the approval
of one of the most distinguished Re
publican journalists, William Allen
White.
There is still talk on behalf OF
Senator Vandenberg-and one wing
of the party would like to see Mr..
Hoover given another chance for the
Presidency.
AS result, the Republican con-
vention is going to be one fight after
another, and it will make headlines
for many a day. Some think that
the more prominent candidates may
offset each other, and lead to the
nomination of dark horse.

HOBBIES
BY Max Chambers
RADIO


What do you do with your spare
time? Do you find the peace of
mind, the happiness that you are
searching for? Is your school work
or your Job grind? Are your days
burdensome and monotonous?
good hobby is the difference between
slavery and living.
Thousands of people listen to radio
programs while the amateurs make
their own. Edgar l.. Hudson at
Laurel. Delaware, has found peace of
mind in his amateur radio broadcast
ing station. His days and nights no
longer drag but go by in rush of
pleasure for the whole family. His
daughter, Jean, IL, is the worlds
youngest amateur operator and
proudly shows big loving cup won
at the Century of Progress Fair in
Chicago when she was nine.
The invention Of wireless was the
outgrowth of Marconi's hobby and
nearly all radio improvements have
come from hobby riding amateurs.
To sit behind a small, round cage
called a microphone and talk with
someone in Pittsburgh, Roanoke, or
perhaps across the ocean is fasci-
mating game. There are on the
peninsula a number of amateurs who
have done some fine emergency work,
especially during storm periods.
Among them is E. L. Thompson at
Salisbury who nearly lost his life try
ing to reach Smiths Island with the
Inflated Carey expedition. Colonel
ingalls, of Cambridge, Leroy Ryan of
frankfort and Bob" Hollyday of
Easton are all old time "hams".
Woodrow Wilson is setting up sta
ton at fredericksburg, and it is rumor-
ed that Crisfield, Smith and Tangier
Islands are to have amateur short
wave sets for emergencies such as
the February freeZe-up.
While radio tinkering is the start
ing point for guidance in the cleo
trical field and worlds of fun, it is
the natural forerunner of television
which Jim Carmine of the Philco
Company tells me is almost ready for
your home radio set.
There are hundreds of fascinating
hobbies on the peninsula. What is
your Hobby? Do you know of some
one who has an interesting hobby?
Tell me about it.

BANK CHARTERING :
POLICY REVIEWED

PHILADELPHIA. Sounu puUTio
policy in chartering banks was dis
cussed by Carl K Withers, Commits
sioner of Banking and Insurance OF the
State of New Jersey, before the Eastern
Conference on Banking Service, held
here recently under the auspices of the
American Bankers Association. He de-
clared that few questions bearing on
the future stability and security OF our
banking systems loom as more impor
tant than that of sound policy to be
pursued in the chartering OF banks
Abiding to competitive policies OF
both state and national banking au
thorities to charter the most banks in
the past. he said that this country was
oyer-banked. and that aside from any
other consideration. economic or other
wise, this condition was brought about
largely through an unwise, unsafe and
unthinking charter policy. alternating
between the state and national sys
TENS. which has marked and ham
pered banking progress in this country
since Its very Inception.
Political Influence
He decried political considerations
in connection with the chartering OF
banks, saying: political influence has
no more place in banking than it has
in the deliberations Of our highest
tribunal The Supreme Court of the
United States. Until this is recognized
and brought into being within both our
state and national systems. we may
never feel safe against the shifting
sands of political expedience."
AS to the element of sometimes
ridiculous competition heretofore ex-
listing between the state and national
systems" he said that much may be
said in favor Of the progress made in
recent years. In many states there ex-
lists a practical working agreement be.
tween local supervising authorities
and the federal authorities. whereby
all charter applications are mutually
considered on a basis of. community
need rather than competitive advan-
tage as between systems. In some
states this arrangement goes even fur

Aside from the competitive and po-
litical aspects of our future charter
policy. he continued. there are several
others more individual and local which
merit consideration. Among these he
mentioned honesty of purpose, COM

Talk of imitation is again heard in
Congress-. The governments bills
are piling up-vast number of dol
lars must be found to pay for the
veterans bonus, for the retirement
of matured federal bonds, for the
new farm program. Treasury ex-
perts are obviously dubious of the
wisdom of issuing new bonds, and
Congress itself, facing an election
year, in which all Representatives
and a third of the Senators must
again come before the electorate for
approval or rejection, are extremely
chary of passing new taxes or in
creasing old ones.

effect why don't we simply speed up
the presses in the Bureau of Print
ing and Engraving and produce new

support Of this, they produce the fact
that the gold now held by the
Treasury has a value of $40, 1S2,0OO-

in circulation totals but little more
than half of that-$5, 700, 000, 900.

community will reflect other than the

The Lessons of the Past
"Too often in the past have charters
been granted to promoters pure and
simple-not always pure, and by no
means simple. The country was dotted
with such. The experience has been
costly and, it is to be hoped, the lesson
well learned, not only by charter-grant-
ing authorities, but the public"
Other factors to be considered as
among the most important in granting
new bank charters, he said, are the
number of institutions already serving
the area, the record of earnings of ex-
listing institutions. the number of fail
.ures since 1920, and the reasons there
for. public convenience and advantage,
the reasonable prospects for growth
of the community, expectation Of prof
table operation and whether branch
bank could serve as well.
Sound public policy demands that
no new banks be chartered unless
there is definite. necessitous and
permanent need" he declared. Sound
mergers. consultations and the sen.
sible extension of branch banking are
much to be preferred to any general
movement toward food of new char.
