GOV. O'CONOR DISCLAIMS
ANY SALES TAX SCHEME
Says He Is Standing Pat On
Income Levy For His Reve-
nue. Program
BILL WOULDPAsS INHOUSE

A sales inevitable bugaboo of
Maryland legislatures - complicated
the waning hours of the 1889 session
yesterday, with unexpected support
from an administration leader and a
prompt disclaimer from Governor
Herbert O'Conor.
While the Senate engaged in half
hearted city-county battle over relief
expenditures, the battle cry Of "sales
tax" reverberated through the House
of Delegates, where Speaker Thomas
Conlon had said earlier, he believed
such a levy could be passed.
eff the sentiment for it continues to
develop the way it has the last few
days, shall go to the administration
with a proposal that it be made part
of Governor O'Conor's program" Con-
lon declared. 81 am confident that it
would pass the House right now with
flying colors."
O'Conor For Income Tax
His flat prediction, given added i'm
portance since the House Ways and
Means Committee still is wrestling
with the Governors $17,000,000 bu3-
get-balancing revenue program, pro
duced two immediate and significant
developments.
Speaking for the Administration
Governor O'Conor asserted he was
standing pat on the classified income
tax which forms the backbone of his
revenue program. Senate President
Arthur Brice asserted sales tax
"can't get to first base" in the Senate
Each time a sales tax has been in
troduced in the Legislature it has been
beaten overwhelmingly.
Without referring outright to the
revenue program, however, Speaker
Conlon noted that sales tax would
eliminate nuisance" taxes in that
program, cover the Administration
supplemental budget needs, and Still
provide a comfortable balance.
at would solve the revenue problem
at once" Conlon said.
Now $25O,OOO Short
Asa result of substitutions made ii,
the original revenue bill by the Senate
the measure now is approximately
! S250,O00 a year short, necessitating
sharp budget cuts if the budget is tt
be balanced.
Should dissension break out in the
House against the income-taX propos-
ais and other proposed levies, in suffi'
Gent strength to delay the bill for any
length of time, the Assembly wouil
have a difficult task in meeting the ad-
journment dead line one week from
next Monday.
Speculation on these factors, to-
gether with the Governors reaction
was rife in the State House last night
There was still no indication, how
ever that Conlon's position had drawn
together bloc strong enough to carry
the sales tax plan through to fina
passage.
Nearly fifty new bills were intro
duced yesterday, as legislators scram
bled to beat Fridays dead line on sub
mission of measures. After Friday
bills may be introduced only through
rules suspension. To date, the session
is only twenty-three short of 1,200-s
! new Assembly record.

Good Samaritan Finds
Attempt Costs Money

Roberta Dunn's boy friend is still
in jail and thereupon hangs q tale
of woe.
Miss Dunn, about IS, went to Po-
lice Court yesterday with $40 to pay
his fine and get him released. The
finance clerk looked up TIE infor-
nation and found her boy friend
had received a 20-day sentence
straight time, not in lieu Of payment
of a fine.
Miss Dunn protested. She said
police who arrested her suitor had
told her $40 would get him out. The
clerk told her nothing could be
done.
She decided to call on a higher
authority. Whisking upstairs to the
chambers of Presiding Judge John
P. Mcmahon, she raped firmly and
loudly on the door.
Cellkeeper j. r. jenkins called
her down for the disturbance. When
she continued, he locked her up on
a charge of disorderly conduct.
Before Judge Edward M. Curran
a few minutes later she pleaded
guilty.
Ten dollars or 10 days." said the
court. Miss Dunn declined the in
vitation to be nearer her boy friend
and paid the fine with part Of the
$40 she had intended to spend to
ret him out.

the average German under Hitler
felt that he had not only saved his
native land from Spain's predica-
ment, but curtailed many short
comings Of the German character,
such as quarrelsomeness and stub
bornness. AS an instance Mrs.
Hampton pointed out that some
times the head of a household would
be a Kaiser adherent, the son a
Communist. The most terrible ar
guments and scenes would ensue.
Under Hitler's idealism, it was their
claim that all forces were united in
loyalty to strong state that would
make those who have share, with
those who haven't.

This belief she bases upon the thor.

COPENHAGEN, Jan. 14.-Prince
Valdemar of Denmark, famous
uncle of kings died today Of
bronchial influenza. He was 30 years
old
He was an uncle of King Chris
tian of Denmark and the youngest
brother of the late Queen AleXan-
dra of Great Britain, the wife OF
KING Edward VII.
He received the nickname uncle
of kings" before the World War
when his nephews were on the
thrones of five countries-Great
Britain, Norway, Denmark, Greece
and Russia.
Valdemar himself was once Of
fered a throne but refused It, Bull
garia in 1887 asked him to become
its king, but he preferred the lite
of a prince of Denmark and his ca
reer in the Danish Navy.
He was born October q, 1858, the
youngest child of King Christian TX
and Queen Louise, the "parents-in-
law of Europe" In 1885 he married
Princess Marie of Orleans who died
in 1909.
Valdemar was trained in the Dam
ish Navy and represented Denmark
on official occasions in various for
eign countries. Through hts per-
sonal contact with the royal Sia-
mese family, Denmark was able to
obtain a substantial share in the
development of Siam, and mainly
through his influence many Siamese
naval officers obtained training in
the Danish Navy.
