ingalls, said the cities want a share
of the states gasoline tax revenue
but none of the counties share.
R. L. Merritt, Yavapai county en-
gineer, said he favored submitting
the question of gasoline tax division
to a vote of the people.
Ralph Watkins, Buckeye, repre-
senting B. H. McAhren, superinten-
dent of the highway department. S
motor vehicle division, denounced
the proposal and warned that if any
/ portion of the states revenue is
/ taken away, secondary roads would
suffer.
"The state needs more money now
! than it is getting" he said. 'Good
roads made it possible for farmers
and cattlemen to move their products
to market and have resulted in re-
auctions Of fares and freight rates. -
Watkins said that eff there is
to be any division of the tax, give
more to the counties"
w. w. Midgely, Flagstaff, for
mer member of the legislature and
! a prominent road booster, wrote
the convention that to take away
any portion of the states share OF
gasoline tax revenue would be a
disgrace. Midgely said U. S High
way Sc needs more money for i'm
provements than is available.
James Grand, Phoenix, city engi-
neer, using charts, showed delegates
shift in tax payments from 13 per
cent of the state burden paid by
city residents in 1919 to 81 per cent
in 1899. Gasoline tax revenues
mounted, he said, from 100000 in
1888 to $4,000, 900 in 1888.
Because the proposal calls for a
division" of the tax revenue in
stead of diversion Girand said,
federal aid would not be affected
under terms of the Hayden,Cart-
wright law. The law provides pen
alties up to SO per cent in federal
, aid if highway funds are used for
purposes other than highways.
Grand said he had been assured
| by authors of the law and others Of
ficials in Washington that use of
gasoline tax money on streets and
alleys would not interfere with fed
eral highway aid to Arizona.
Householder Challenged
Vic Householder took issue with
Grand, claiming he had informa-
tion there was grave doubt that
federal aid would be continued if
the gasoline tax were split with the
cities. Householder is secretary-treas

evidence, Householder said he had

u. S. ROUTES CAUSE
MUCH DISCUSSION
CONTINUED from Page -

Maryland of a major defense dual
highway along U. S. Route IS be-
tween the Virginia boundary north
via Pocomoke City, Princess Anne,
and Salisbury to the Delaware state
line at Delmar, Del, dealt severe
blow to Worcester County advocates
seeking to have the defense highway
constructed via Snow Hill, Berlin and
Selbyville, Del.
An added blow to civic groups in
Worcester County and lower Della
ware, who recently launched two
state movement to have the dual de-
Tense road built along u. S. Route
113, was dealt when it was learned
through authentic sources that the
Virginia State highway commission
plans to extend it's modern three-lane
highway northward from Parksley,
Va, to the Worcester County, Mary
land line at Wagram, south of POGO

tracks, eliminates hope that the State
plans to swing its highway eastward
across the railroad so as to connect
with u. s. Route 113 highway, OBJ
servers pointed out.
Action Of the Pocomoke City Bust
ness Mems Association in advocating
the defense highway via Salisbury,
instead Of Berlin, was announced last
night by Ralph Ross, president Of
that body.
President Ross pointed out that If
Virginia completed it's present three
lane highway from Parksley, Va,
north to the Maryland line at Wag-
ram, this county, a distance of around
Is miles, then the logical thing for
Maryland State highway commission
to do would be to continue the i'm
proved highway to the new Westover-

Princess Anne-Salisbury modern high

This course would carry the new
road, still in a straight line, west
ward of the railroad and about one
mile west of Pocomoke City, elimi-
mating the necessity of crossing the
railroad at any point on the PENN
sula.
Pocomoke City groups are one hum
dred per cent in favor of building a
new defense highway via Pocomoke
City and Salisbury, Mr.. Ross point
ed out. H. Merrill Walters, member
Of the association, corroborated
President Ross viewpoint.
In October Of this year, Mayor
John O. Byrd, of Snow Hill, called
representatives together at meet
ing held in Snow Hill in the inter-
est of building a new defense high
way, on the Peninsula, over U. S.
Route 11S, from Dover, DEL, south
via Selbyville, Del, Berlin and Snow
Hill to the Virginia line, there to es-
tablish connection with U. S. Route
10. Committees were named.
Then on November z last, G. Hale
Harrison, of Berlin, presided at a
meeting of representatives from
three states, held in Berlin, at which
U. S. Route 13 was advocated for
the dual defense road project. Low
err Delaware civic groups were au-
thorized to begin the fight for the
dual highway in southeastern Sussex,
with promise that Worcester county
would join the issue later.

AUTHORITIES TO
CHECK SOURCES
OF SHIPMENTS
Sanitary Supervision Of Oyster
Industry Under The State
Health Department

Regulations issued by the U. 3.
Public Health Service concerning the
certification of shipments of oysters,
clans, and mussels, are brought to
the attention of local health authori-
ties and shellfish dealers in Mary
land, by DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of
the State Health Department, at the
request of Surgeon General Thomas
Parran, of the U. S. Public Health
Service.
Local health authorities are urged
to check the sources of shipments and
make sure (1) that the shippers are
certified and (2) that the shipping
tag bears proper information as to
the source of the oysters.
Sanitary supervision of the oyster
industry, DR.. Riley explained, is I'M
der the charge of the State Depart
ment of Health. Because of the wide
distribution of shellfish products from
Maryland concerns, Federal require
ments for interstate commerce as
well as the State regulations must
be met. The plants that meet these
requirements are duly certified for
both State and interstate shipments,
after inspection by the State Bureau
of Food and Drugs. A certificate
number is assigned to each plant. Z
These certificates are for single
season, only, and must be renewed
each year before the. season opens.
They are not interchangeable. ~ o.
The u. S. Public Health Service
specifies that shucked oysters and
clans shall not only be packed in ap-
proved containers, but that the con-
tainers which bear the certificate
number of the shipper shall be. sealed
in such a manner that tampering
is easily discernible. Shipments shall
be tagged or labelled in such way
as to show the name and address Of
the consignee, the name and address
of the shipper, the name Of the State
and the certificate number Of the
shipper. Use Of containers bearing
the shipping number of another ship
per is prohibited.
The Federal regulations specify
further that containers holding shell
stock shall be identified by a uniform
tag or label containing in addition to
the information listed above, the date
of dredging, date of shipment, or OF
reshipment and name of the loca
waters from which the shellfish were
taken. The stub of the tag shall moi
be removed from any package of shell
stock, until all of the contents of such
packages have been removed.
Lists of shellfish shippers certi
fled by State and Federal authorities
are available to local health authofi
tie on request, from the U. S. Public
Health Service.

At a recent press conference at the White
House the President ordered reporters to 'lay
off, all future questions to his 1910 presiden-
tial intentions He stated that he will tell the
public when he gets good and ready. Some of
the reporters-or at least the papers they repre-
sent, felt peeved at the Presidents remarks We
wonder how many Presidents or individuals
would have kept the poise that President Roose-
welt has with the press, during the many months
he has been in the White House? He has treat
ed them with the utmost courtesy and consdera-
ton, notwithstanding the fact that some of the
papers represented by the reporters have not done

that President Wilson was n1isquoted, the press
got in bad with him. Presidents Coolidge and
Hoover did not give the reporters anything like
the freedom that has been accorded them by F.
D. r. In fact they got to the place when ques-
tons had to be submitted in writing in advance
of the press conference. With the present occu-
pant of the White House reporters-a whole
room full of them fire questions broadsde at the
President-questions which have carefully been
thought out in advance, often, no doubt, with a
view of trying to trip him up But we have yet to

WASHINGTON SAYS SOIL
FERTILITY VALUABLE

George Washington once said
that ''Soil fertility is our most yal-
liable national asset = He realized
the Importance of conserving the
soil as early as $780, long before
the wasting of the soil was consid-
cred a menace. st
Much of the land in George Wash7
ington's home county, Fairfax cOun-
ty, Virginia, was drug on the mar
ket because of branching, clawing
gullies, and he ordered that no
more corn and tobacco be grown on
the soil of Mt Vernon. 1--WE ruin
the lands that are already cleared,
and either cut down more wood, If
we have it., or emigrate into the
western country
Today that western country
considered by Washington as virgin
territory is rapidly being wasted by
heavy depicting crop rotations.
However, in 1888, farmers realized
the necessity of an organized plan
to conserve the soil by practicing
good crop rotations and shffting de-
rleting acreages to conserving
acreages and drafted the present
AAA farm program.
Other soil building practices
which have been included in the
farm program are terracing, con-
tour furrowing and farming, lining
and tree planting.
Farmers today also believe as
Washinton did that, Soil fertility
is our most valuable national as
set'

VINDICATION

On the night of Oct l. 1887, Justice Hugo l..
Black spoke over the radio in self-defense
against criticism of his then recent appointment
to the Supreme Court. He admitted, having been
a member of the Ku Kux Klan. He said he quit
the Klan before going to the Senate and never re-
joined "I believe" he said, "that my record as a
senator refutes every implication of racial or re-
ligious intolerance"
He also said: Il number among my friends
many members of the colored race. have watch
ed the progress of it's members with sympathy
and admiration. Certainly they are entitled to
the full of protection accorded to the cit
izenship of our country by Constitution and
our laws"
That was Hugo L. Black speaking for himself
Yesterday he spoke in similar terms behalf OF
the entire Supreme Court
Chief Justice Hughes did gracious thing
when he singled out Justice Black, to write the
courts opinion in the case OF tour Florida
Negroes sentenced to death for murder.
The court found that the conviction had been
based on confession wrung by torture from
these four Ignorant young colored tenant farm
ers" It reversed the Florida Supreme Court,
which had sustained the conviction.
1t must have been satisfaction to the former
Alabama Klansman, long since come of age, to
point out on behalf of unanimous bench that
while civil liberties in many lands are per1sh1ng
by the sword, in this country, even the lowliest
NAV look to the Constitution for asylum when
the law stoops to outlawry.
Under the Constitutional system" said JUS
tice Black courts stand against any winds that
blow as lavens of refuge for those who might
otherwise suffer because they are helpless,
weak outnumbered, or because they are non
conforming victims of prejudice and public ex-
element
That simple statement of what should be a
commonplace to all Americans will be over the
heads of people like Pelley. Will it also be in
comprehensive to the courts and legislators and
prosecutors of Florida, where racketeers some
times seem more welcome than the Bill OF
Rights? Columbus Citizen.
It would seem that with the record of Justice
Black on the Supreme Court, apologies to him
should be in order by the many newspapers and
citizens who SO bitterly attacked his appointment
to the Supreme Court This latest decision
the first time he had spoken for the defense of
the closest observance of the due process of law
where rights of individuals were concerned.
About a year ago he knocked out the conviction
of Louisiana negro the grounds that negroes
had been excluded from the grand Jury that re-
turned the Indictment The record shows that
ever since he went the bench there have been
a number of other decisions involving civil lib
critics and due process of law" and in every one
he has voted for the strictest protection of the
rights of the individual citizen. But Blacks con-
tribution to the Supreme Court has by no means
been confined to his defense of state rights, and
already leading magazine writer's are predicting
he will go down in history as great Supreme
Court Justice.
