STATE TAXPAYER HEAD SAYS
$3.50 TAX CUT NOT
ENOUGH

Either cut income and other tax
rates, the equivalent of the pres
ent estimated State surplus of
$9,0OO,O00, or reduce the State
debt or both wrote Harry S. Mid
dendorf, President of Maryland Pub
lie Expenditure Council to Governor
Herbert R. O'Conor in a letter made
public, following the Governors an
nouncement that he would reduce
income tax rates by 2025 % at the
next session of the General Assem-
bly,. The taxpayers leader claims
the surplus came from the people,
and since they were charged more
than was necessary to run the State
Government, that overcharge, which
amounts to as much as the entire
estimated income tax receipts of
the State this year, should be re-
turned whence it came. Mr.. Mid
dendorf does not ask that any par
ticular class of taxpayers be favor
ed over others. He leaves the selec-
ton of where rate reductions are
to be made to the Governor But he
urges that the entire S9,000,000
surplus be returned to the taxpayers
except for small working fund.
1--WE also ask a most conservative
estimate of future State income so
that our tax burdens are not in
creased at this critical time merely
to maintain further State surplus
es'' Mr.. Middendorf told the Cover
nor.
Middendorf thanked the Cover
nor for economies he has instituted
and for acceding to the thousands
of demands made by the people at
the last session of the General AS
sembly to reduce State expenditures
and said, "Any move of tax RET
duction is good news" but he point
ed out that with unprecedented war
levies on them, taxpayers are forced
to urge most drastic reduction of
normal Government costs.

HORN BLOWING NUISANCE

Campaigns to end the horn
blowing nuisance in behalf of night
shift war workers whose rest in
daylight hours is disturbed by I'M
necessary noise, have the full
support of the Keystone Automobile
Club.
Edward P. Curran, Safety Direc-
of the Club, said the effort to abol-
ish unnecessary horn blasts coin
cides with generally accepted high
way safety principles. For years, he
declared, Keystone has carried on
an educational campaign to ac-
quaint drivers with the dangers OF
relying on horns instead of brakes
Unnecessary horn blowing, -
said Mr.. Curran, sis violation OF
the law of city, State and common
sense. Generally speaking, the prac-
tice is an outward manifestation OF
inward Impotence. The split-second
drivers who feel it their duty to
emit shrill blasts coincident with
the change in traffic signal from red
to green really ought to have their
heads examined.
Properly used, the horn has a
definite value as an aid to safe
motoring. Improperly used, it is a
nuisance and potential menace"
While directing its fire mainly at
drivers, the Club extends its criti-
cism to parents who permit children
to operate horns on parked auto
mobiles apparently in the belief the
resulting din is ''cute'.
I'VE have received many COM
plaints,'' said Curran, about this
form of nuisance. Most of them
come from homes where night
workers are sleeping, where there
is serious illness or where some
member of the family suffers from
nervous disorder. The incessant
footing of horns by children not
only annoys persons in normal
health but often aggrevates the con-
dition of invalids."

The Editor,

Dear Sir:
Your recent articles about the
cost of General Public Assistance il
Cecil County were discussed at the
regular monthly meeting of the
Welfare Board on Monday Night OF
this week. was authorized to write
you letter to clarity for you and
your readers the assumption that
people receiving this assistance are
able to work.
This fund is used principally
to take care of the group from 16
to IS years of age. They ARE NOT
eligible for this help if able to work
and in order to receive this assis-
lance they must be CERTIFIED BY
A PHYSICIAN AS UNABLE TO
WORK. AS you can readily see, the
industrial situation in no way af-
fects those who are unable to work
Cancer, arthritis, and diabetes are
most expensive to care for even in
a relief family.
This fund is also used to sup
plement another type of relief: that
of caring for mothers whose Aid to
Dependent Children grant is insult
ficient. For instance, the maximum
allowable grant from Aid to Deepen
dent Children funds for a mother
with one child is $500 a month
an insufficient amount for rent
food, and clothing. When necessary
this deficit is made up from General
Public Assistance funds About 33c
out of every dollar in General
Public Assistance is used for this
purpose.
This year we asked for an addi-
tiona1 amount for this help because
of the increased cost of living. We
were granted $4,000 increase,
which represents less than 1s of lie
on the tax rate for the county. This
makes the total appropriation from
county funds for General Public
Assistance, $S,000.OO, which will
greatly help those afflicted in coun-
try where fair play and humanitar-
ianism have not vanished.
We would like to call your at
tention to the fact that the Welfare
Board members of Cecil County are
local farmers, business and pro-
fessional men, serving without pay
and with keen desire to do this
work well. AS we believe there is
a general misconception regarding
General Public assistance, we are
furnishing copy of this letter to
each of the other county newspap-
ers.
Very truly yours,

YOUNG SCHOOL CHILDREN
MUST BE VACCINATED

DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of the
Maryland State Health Department,
reminds parents of young children
who will enter school this fall, of a
certain ''must-be-done" that will
have to be attended to before the
children may be received in any pub
lie school in the State. For the sake
of the children, their health and
general well-being, now, and in the
future, he also makes certain other
suggestions.
The "must-be-done" is vaccina-
ton against smallpox which is re-
quired by the Maryland law before a
child may be received at any public
school in the State.
Parents are expected to have
their children vaccinated by the fam
lily physician before the babies are a
year old, or very soon after. Until
child enters school, the RESPONSE
bility rests with the parents and the
family doctor. After that, it is shar-
ed with the school authorities.
Teachers who enroll a child who
has not been vaccinated are liable to
fine of ten dollars for each en-
rollment.
Largely through the voluntary
observance of this law, Maryland
has been free from smallpox, for a
number of years." DR.. Riley said.
Though there have been no cases
here, the disease has been widely
prevalent i'm other States. Because
of the large number of families that
have moved recently into Mary
land from other parts of the country,
many of them from sections in
which vaccination is not compnl-
sorry, it is very important that this
requirement be understood by the
newcomers. 1t is equally important
that it be remembered by other
residents of the State, who have ne
elected to have their children pro-
tected.
Protection against diphtheria is
not required by law in Maryland,
but it is quite as important that
children be protected against this
disease before they start to school,
as against smallpox. This should be
added to the ''must-be-done--".
Before the schools open every
prospective f1rst-grader should be
taken to the family physician, or to
the nearest health department child
health conference, for complete
physical examination, if that has
not already been done, so that con-
ditions in need of attention can be
cared for at once.
Complete information about the
places and dates for the child
health conferences can be obtained
from the local County Health Of
ficer. Information regarding clinics
for vaccination against smallpox and
for protection against diphtheria
can be obtained from the same
source"

WAGE FARMERS SHOULD In.

BOARD OF ANY
CHANCES IN MAMIE
CHANGES IN NAME

1t has come to the attention of
the Baltimore field Office of the
Social Security Board that many
persons who have social security
account numbers have changed their
names through marriage or for 9TH
er reasons and have never notified
the Social Security Board, it was
stated by VIM. M. Donlin, Acting
Manager of the local field Office of
the Social Security Board. "It is
advisable to notify the Board of any
corrections that should be made in
data on application blanks, such as
date of birth, mothers and fathers
name, etc., and of any changes in
name"
Residents of Baltimore, Hartford,
Cecil and Howard Counties who
wish to make such changes may Sc
cure suitable forms or blanks from
the Baltimore Office, 80 South Street.
Mr.. Donlin added that those apply
ing for change in name should
bring their account number cards.
If the card has been lost, dupli-
cate may be requested at the same
time. A record of the number should
be kept until a new account num-
Der card bearing the corrected name
is received by the wage Garner from
the central Office of the Board The
employer should also be informed
OF the change so that the name re-
ported by him will be same as that
shown on the corrected account
number card.
The reporting of such corrections
and changes is necessary in order
that the Social Security Board may
obtain accurate records at all times.
Mr.. DOnlin said. He added that it
would not be necessary to report
any changes in address.
