VIRGINIA DROPS TAX ON
MARYLAND. TRUCKS

Governor Herbert R. O'Conor had
the satisfaction of seeing another
State trade barrier against which he
had waged an unremitting fight for
more than Is months, removed, at
least as far as Maryland is concern
ed. Notice to this effect was contain
ed i'm a communication to Marylands S
Chief Executive from G. F. Joyner,
Jr, Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
and Chairman of the Reciprocity
Board of the State of Virginia, an
nouncing that Virginia now desires
to waive the imposition of the two
per cent gross receipts tax on Mary
land carriers operating in or through
Virginia, retroactive to January / +,
1876
The communication from Chair
man Joyner, sent at the direction of
Governor William M. Tuck, made ref
erence to Correspondence that had
been exchanged between your State
and Virginia covering motor vehicle
reciprocity. Maryland's efforts to
pursuade Virginia to abandon this
tax on motor vehicle common car
riers date back to the time when Jo-
seph Eastman was Director of the
Office of Defense Transportation and
motor truck transportation was
looming large in the war effort. At
Governor O'Conor's request, a meet
ing was held in the ODT Office in
Washington, at which Maryland was
represented by Edgar r. McShane,
Traffic Safety Commission, and W.
Lee Elgin, Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles. Due to the representations
made on behalf of Maryland at this
meeting, Virginia agreed to withdraw
the imposition of the tax for the
duration
Notified last Fall that Virginia
proposed to reinstate the levy, Cover
nor O'Conor arranged a conference,
through the Council of State Govern
ments, attended for Maryland by
Messrs. McShane, Elgin and Robert
M. Reindollar, chairman of the State
Roads Commission. This was follow
ed by second meeting, at which
Maryland asked that the tax be held
up at least until January 1, so that
tie Virginia Legislature might con-
slider legislation to abolish it, and
thus eliminate the threat that other
Atlantic Seaboard States might re-
taliate. Apparently, from Chairman
Joyner's letter, the Virginia legisla-
tors felt that Maryland's objections
were well-founded.

The fragrant cup Of coffee which
makes us civil every morning and
renews us so often during the de- q
links many nations in a long and
romantic history. Just when it first
appeared as beverage no one can
say exactly. But that it was an Ara
bian discovery seems very likely in
view of the fact that coffee grew
wild in that part of the world before
the ninth century after Christ, and
fanciful Arabian nights tales have
been handed down about the first
brew.
The most popular legend concerns
Kaldi, an Arabian goatherd, whose
dull life on the hillside made him a
gloomy Joe indeed. But he picked
and ate some of the berries his goats
were fond of nibbling, because he
noticed that after eating these ber-
ries, the goats became gay creatures.
Kaldi himself became new man.
Thereafter coffee berries were indis-
pensable to his diet, and so carefree
and lively did he become that he
often Joined his goats in a merry
dance.
A monk, to whom Kaldi confided
his experiences, prepared a drink
from the beans and served it to the
members of his order. They found
the beverage sustained their energy
and helped them to pray and medi-
tate longer, SO they adopted the drink
and cultivated the plant.
Gradually the popularity of the
beverage spread to Turkey, where,
in 1855, the first public coffee house
was established. It was introduced

The program is Limited by law
as follows: A veteran mus. have
been denied a four percent loan
in his county; the property must
not cost the state more than 81,
900, Of which the veteran must
pay 10 percent down, and the
rest within 20 years or less; the
selling price Of the property must
not exceed the appraised value,
which the board insists must be

loans will not be made TO a vet
eran IL the property to be pur-
chased would give him real estate
holdings exceeding $4,000 in val
ue. The board will commit itself
on a purchase up to $4,000 but
the veteran must advance all
above $4,000 as an additional
stipulation Of the contract.

property on a purchase contract,
but does not receive a deed until

being made to adjust the state
