said. So-called "dopes" or popping

sist of EPSON salts, sand, -four, or
some other white powder, which,
when added to battery electrolyte,

HOUSE BILL 779 SIGNED

Governor O'Conor signed the holly
contested House Bill 779 on May A.
1t is now the law of Maryland that
able-bodied persons cannot be given
relief payments unless they have
been residents of Maryland for two
years. In emergencies, thirty days
relief may be paid, but no more
There is no change in the law rela-
tive to relief for the aged, blind,
crippled or sick.
Just how much this new law will
save Maryland cannot be accurately
Middendorf, leader of the organized
taxpayers fight to put the curb on
relief, said, "The savings will amount
to many millions when the war ends.
Those millions will be badly needed
then to make real permanent jobs at
respectable wages. But, aside from
the financial aspects, this law repre-
sen:s, as far as l know, the first at
tempt of taxpayers who pay for re-
lief to assert themselves in deter

be allowed to live on the public.
There is growing feeling among
citizens that in the matter of relief
and welfare, advantage is being TAX
en- of their natural charitable in
stincts. The almost universal demand
for this law is the result of THAI opin-
ion."
At hearing before Governor
O'Conor on April 26, strong effort
was made to have the Governor veto
the Bill. Taxpayer spokesman de-
Tended the Bill as necessary to the
financial security of the State, con-
tending that, with hundreds of out
ob-State people here for war work,
Maryland faced relief load that
might bankrupt the State unless po-
genital relief candidates practice
thrift or are encouraged to return to
their home states when war work
ceases.
