Organized Farmers
To Oppose Levies
On Real Property
Farm Bureau Legislative Group
Urges Balancing Of
Tax Load

Organized farmers of Maryland are
bitterly opposed to proposals to in
crease real estate levies in order to
provide additional state funds to bal
.ance the budget, it was announced
Monday by President Harry H. Nuttle
of the Maryland Farm Bureau. The
Farm Bureau has long held that real
estate is bearing an unfair share of
the tax burden, and that other meth
DDS of taxation must be adopted in
order to balance the tax load, he re-
ports.
Mr.. Nuttle called attention to the
tax report which has been adopted by
both the Maryland State Grange and
Farm Bureau which outlined the
stand of organized farmers on real
estate taxes in these terms: MARY
land tax system is not balanced in
that real estate pays an unjust por-
ton of the taxes, county, city and
state. Real estate taxes are levied
arbitrarily on the assessed valuation
and with no direct bearing on the re-
turn on this value. Our State system
needs to be better balanced and this
serious inequality corrected"
Members of the Farm Bureaus
legislative committee consisting of
Mr.. Nuttle, P. C. Turner, Fred Jones,
L. o. farrell, John Bushey, F. Schil-
linger, A. G. Ensor, Ellis Bowen, Roby
Mullinix, A. K. Austin, and A. M.
Etzler met Monday to lay plans for
presenting the farmers views to
legislators.
Committee members stated that it
was high time that legislators faced
the entire tax problem and worked
out a fair balance of the tax load be-
tween various classes of tax payers.
at is time that the system of patch
ing up revenues on a temporary basis
along the lines of least resistance is
discarded and while conditions are
good, fair division of the tax burd-
en- be made through relief of real
estate" said Mr.. Turner one of the
members of the committee. eff the
habit of assessing real estate because
that is the easiest way out is not dis
carded owners of real property will be
forced to join in a fight for some
form of constitutional limitation OF
real estate taxes to force the shifting
of the tax burden"

Commissioners Take
No Further Stand
On School Problem
Issuing Of Bonds Left Up To
Officials-Other Matters
Discussed

Declining to take a stand on the
question of issuing county bonds TO
meet propised 100000 school build
ing program in the next two years,
the Montgomery County Commission
ers Tuesday in Rockville placed the
matter before the county board of ed
ucation and the local delegation in the
Maryland General Assembly.
Ira C. Whitacre, clerk to the COM
missioners, was directed to write
State Senator Stedman Prescott that
1.-The board believes the responsibility
of issuance of school bonds is entirely
on the legislature and the board of
education" The letter was in reply to
communication received from Pres
colt last week in which the Senator
expressed surprise the board had not
acted earlier on the school bond ques-
ton and asked the board Ito make
known its view at the very earliest
opportunity"
In their reply the commissioners
justified their stand by declaring they
shave no control over school affairs"
and pointed out further that "even
the ordinary expenditures for educa-
ton each year in accordance with the
school budget must be approved by
this board as presented"
Definite steps to acquire the right
of way of the Capital Transit Co., in
the center of Connecticut avenue
from Chevy Chase circle to Chevy
Chase Lake were taken Tuesday when
the board voted to make an offer Of
$4,000 70 rthe strip of land and re-
lieve the transit company of an
assessment of $4,000 which covers
the land, rails, poles, trolley wires and
other equipment which has been in
disuse since the trolley line was aban-
doned last year.
| The board appointed Mrs. Ida Fulks
as bookkeeper in the county ac-
countant's Office at salary of 500
per month and voted to hold hear
ing Friday at / P. M. on petition of

in Washington.
Mr.. Probert was So years old. The
immediate cause of death was given
as pneumonia. He was stricken a
week ago with a throat infection
while on an annual business trip to
Los Angeles.
Born in Batavia, N. Y, Mr.. Probert

G. o. p. Committee Favors
Buying Voting Machines

The Republican State Central Com
mittee for Montgomery County at it's
recent meeting went on record as fav-
oring the purchasing of Voting Ma
chimes, for the precincts within the 7th
and 18th Districts.
According to Wilton T. Allen, Sec
rotary of the committee, the Commit
tee feels that it would not only be an
economical move but one that would
insure honest elections within the
Suburban Area. "Many of the pre-
cincts will have to be divided unless
voting machines are purchased and
the deviding of these precincts will
ultimately result result in a cost to
the County far exceeding the cost of
buying voting machines. In the 7th
district alone there are three precincts
which have over twelve hundred vot-
ers and comparing with the 1884 elec-
ton it would be necessary to county
ballots well over thirty hours to OBJ
tain the results. 1t is not humanity
possible to count this long and get
accurate figures. Installation of vot-
ing machines would correct this, en-
abling an accurate count within few
minutes after the polls have closed"

sources that the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company contempates early reduction of telephone
rates from Rockville to Washington and intermediate
points Although official announcement has been
made of the change, it is rumored that the new

Proof that overly-restrivtive gov
ernmental efforts to help the farm
er, no matter how well meant, may
produce the opposite effect from the
one desired, is found In the report
OF Joint Legislative Committee
which has been investigating New
York's stringent Milk Control Law.
Similar laws are in effect in other
states.
The committee found that the milk
control law has broken down." and
that 1t has been a factor in causing
New York producers to lose a con-
siderable part Of their fluid market
because of importations from other
states. The committee concluded
that Improvement Of producer con-
ditions is dependent upon unity for
effective bargaining-that is, unity
as achieved by the leading agricul-
tural cooperatives.
The upshot of all this is a strong
movement among farmers for either
outright repeal or radical revision OF
the law. The producers are learning
that the real solution to many of
their problems rests on their own
intelligence, rather than legislative
panaceas.
