STATE SENATE
DEMAND ACTION
ON BUDGET BILL
Delay Imperils Legality of
Grants To All Agencies,
Resolution Says.
MANY BILLS PASSED
House Bill Authorizing
Appointing of Addition
al NOtaries Approved.

Consideration of the budget ap-
preparation bill to the exclusion of
all other business is demanded in a
Senate concurrent resolution adopt
ed by that body late Tuesday after
noon.
There is a section in the law pass
ed several years ago creating the
State budget system which provides
that "if the budget appropriation
bill has not been finally acted upon
before the fiftieth legislative day of
the session, it shall then be con-
sidered to the exclusion of all other
bills until it Is finally disposed Of"
While this section has been known
generally to legislators and attor-
neys connected with the body, little
or no attention has been paid to- 1t
because it is merely a statute and
there is no way of enforcing the
provision.
Although Tuesday was the 63rd
legislative day the budget bill in
troduced by Representative C. P.
Holcomb. majority floor leader of
the House, has not been reported
from committee. 1t is the most i'm
portant bill on the calendar as 1t
carries the appropriations to oper-
ate the State departments and in
stitutions during the next two fiscal
years.
Resolution Cites Law
The Senate concurrent resolution
which was offered by Senator Ebe II.
majority floor leader, cites
the law referred to and suggests
that the long delay In acting ON the
budget bill SIS greatly endangering
the legality Of all appropriations for
the various State agencies and de-
for the next two 6Real
!saesafs m concludes WITH tie state
ment that the budget appropriation
bill shall now be considered and
finally acted upon in both houses of
the General Assembly, to the ex-
of all other bills"
A viva voce vote was taken and
no objection to the resolution was
'aised from the Democratic side.
The resolution apparently widens
he breach between the Senate and
House and may delay final adjourn

going to set up rules and regu-

Battle of Personalities

The pity Of this internal social warfare in the
United States is that it is battle among per-
sonalities-among Roosevelt, Lewis and Green.
Lewis is not likely to give up the fight. He
never liked Roosevelt and likes him less today.
Green is not likely to give up, because of his po-
stion as AFL leader for one thing, and
also because of his personal dislike for Lewis.
Roosevelt does not like Lewis, but has used Lewis
to the queens taste for political reasons.
Forgotten by the President seems to be the
United States as an operating, economic and
social unit, and if he continues to think in terms
of political power there soon won't be any in
duStry or business left in America.
While it is well beyond the point where Roose.
welt could have taken constructive action with.
out hurting himself politically it is still not too
late. He could courageously recommend legisla-
ton which would oblige the two labor groups to
recognize their civic responsibilities.

own Surgeon
Appendi.r Removed
After Accident

Eleven-year-old Danny Moore,
Of Melwood. Md, was apparently
recovering today at Providence
Hospital after he had nearly re-
moved his own appendix Sunday
with the sharp end of stick.
Danny was using the stick to
roll a hoop near his home, when
he stumbled, jamming the stick
into his abdomen.
Rushed to Providence, the boys
plight amazed surgeons when it
was seen that the stick-normally
used to cut tobacco leaves-had
pierced his abdomen over the ap-
pendix. Taking advantage of this
coincidence, surgeons removed the
appendix, closed the wound.
Chances. of infection were still
uncertain, last night. however,
and doctors will watch the case
closely for the next few days.

After all, there on the stage was the President"

in the character portrayed by Cohan thought
The stage President" is continually trying to put

one happy. But don't for moment think that
President Roosevelt, or any other man in the
White House, would not like to do the same thing.
The play brings up many things in our Govern
ment that are puzzling the average man in the
street today. The Wagner act is one and the gold
sterilization policy is another In the play, you
know, the President orders all the impounded
gold released from Fort Knox, KY. In my ignorant
way, only few weeks ago was wondering why
thew couldn't take some of that very gold to
balance the budget or to put back of new Govern

The cheap and disgusting part of the play
came, thought, when the Justices of the Su-
preme Court came dancing out on to the stage
with chorus girls!
If the producers had wanted to bring the
EIGHT Wise Men" out on the stage to discuss
what they were going to do to the President, it
would have been bad enough, but to have them
dancing around with fat chorus girls was the
limit
didn't feel so bad about THE NEW JUSTICE
because. personally think it would be lot safer
to have one of our high Government officials
hopping around with a middle,aged woman
especially If she were fat and not very good look
ing, as was the case on the stage-instead of
running around in Ku Klux Khan skirts. And he
might have lot more fun doing it, too!
Asks Respect for Government
But. somehow, can't subdue the feeling that,
one of the most respected things in our lives
Where would we be today without it? Living,
perhaps, in another Russia, or Japan?
After all, Catholics, Jews or Protestants would
not like to see their clergymen impersonated
capering with girls on the stage!
Conan saves the show, if there is anything to
save, when he is on the stage. He is the same de-
lightful Conan through it all and think the
audience laughed WITH him in a good-natured
way instead of laughing AT the character he i'm
personated.
1t was splendid when Conan closed the show
with really dignified and appealing speech
summing up the American people so accurately.
I most certainly think though, that the pro-
ducers should changer be made to change
the takeoff on the EIGHT Wise Men,"

Although District motorists are

Part payment Is permitted IN
real estate, personal property and
several other forms of taxation.
Van Duzer added automobile
tax bills will be mailed out tomor-
row to all motorists, except those
who have traffic warrants pend
ing against them.
This year, he said, the usual 81
fee for the plates and registration
card will be replaced by the new
automobile weight tax.
In addition to the weight tax,
the motorists will be called upon
to pay an increased personal prop
erty tax on cars-$1.75 per 500 of
value instead of $3.50 as in pre-,
viouS years.
COST TO RUN HIGHER
AS a result of the new taxes, a
motorist with a fairly modern car
will be called upon to shell OUT
in the neighborhood of $40 or SIS
before license tags are issued,
while owners of trucks and other
commercial vehicles will receive a
higher bill.
Scale for the automobile weight

$500; SO for cars between $500
and $500 pounds and $12 for cars
in excess of $500.
