Two Amendments of
Concern To Farmers

Two proposed constitutional
amendments are considered OF
major concern to farm people and
the Farm Bureau is urging citizens
to vote in favor of these amend
ments on Tuesday, November 8.
They are listed as amendments
No. IS and IA.
No. - is an amendment to the
Declaration of Rights which pro-
poses the granting of authority to
the General Assembly to provide
for the separate assessment, CLASH
fication and sub-classification of
land, improvements on land and
personal property, and requiring
that all taxes levied shall be uni
form as to each class of sub-class
of land, improvements on land, and
personal property.
No. IA is an amendment to the
Declaration of Rights which pro-
posese granting of authority to
the general assembly to provide
that land actively devoted to farm
or agricultural use shall be as
sessed on the basis of such use
and shall not be assessed as if
sub-divided.
The increase in population has
caused changes. AS cities expand
some farms are lost to housing and
industry while others are endan-
gered by the Elusive potential value
when this is used for tax purposes.
1t is the contention of the Farm
bureau that taxes based on the
Elusive potential value will force
land from crop production to idle
ness or waste and destroy the
countryside This condition now
threatens farmers in Baltimore,
Howard, Anne Arundel, Mont
gomery, Prince Georges and Wi
comico counties and may reach
later the tobacco lands of Southern
Maryland, the dairy farms of
Frederick, Carroll and Hartford
counties, the chicken farms of Wor-
chester, Wicomico and Somerset
counties and eventually result in
driving the farming industry out
of these areas.
The Maryland General Assembly
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1960-10-20

in 1855 passed a Farm Bureau
sponsored law which required the
assessment of land actively de-
voted to farm or agricultural use"
to be made solely on the basis of
such use" and not on any other
basis.
The law was declared unconsti-
tutional in 1859 and the 1860 gem
eral assembly re-enacted it with
revision to proclaim a State policy
to protect farm lands in the public
interest.
The constitution of Maryland
must be amended in two places to
make the law constitutional and
will be voted on November 8.

There will not be, in this
tenth year of the awards or in
any future years. a Patsy
Award for best performance
by a bull in a bullf1ght. The
American Humane Association
is FIRMLY opposed to bullf1ghts
and bulls are in the middle
with it. On the one hand, bulls
are cruel to horses, goring
them painfully and often fatal
ly in large numbers. On the
other hand, bulls get tortured
to death in the corrida and
not one bull ever won a bull
fight.
The AHA also takes a dim
view of Mr.. Ernest Hemingway
for having written so well OF
that Moment of Truth in what
it considers a phony sport that
should be abandoned by the
human race. 1t would be a
pleasure to go along with the
association except for the fact
that can remember the time
I reviewed a bullfighting movie.
l took the dim view and
promptly got a letter from a
leading torero inviting me to
come, down to Mexico City and
he'd bloody we'll show me the

Justice Douglas
DepIores Plan on
ChuntiIIy Sewage

Sharp criticism of any pro-
posal to permit sewage, treated
or otherwise, to enter the Po-
tomac River above Metropolitan
Washington's drinking water
intakes was registered last
night by Justice Douglas.
In a talk before a joint meet
ing Of the Citizens Council
for a Clean Potomac and the
D. c. League of Women Voters,
the justice turned particular
attention to the CongreSs-in n
dorsed plan that would permit
treated wastes from the new
Dulles International Airport at
Chantilly, Va, to flow into the
Potomac.
II this proposal goes through,
the speaker asserted, the people
OF the Washington area would
in effect be forced to start
drinking "Chantilly cocktails. {"
Area residents, he added, would
certainly not benefit from
cocktails" consisting of a mix
ture OF water and sewage.
He directed this blast at the
congressional action of the last
session:
The Federal Government,
which should set the standards
and example for all lesser units
OF government, is sometimes
our worst offender when it
comes to stream pollution"

Hansen Urges
More Nurses

DR.. Carl F. Hansen, SUPER
intendent of District schools
called yesterday for more
nurses IN the school health
program.
Speaking to a session of the
Public Health Advisory Coun-
eli, DR.. Hansen said there is
a critical shortage of nurses
in the elementary schools. Re-
ferring to the long standing
controversy over who should
run the nursing program-the
Health Department. of the
school syStem-Dr. Hansen de-
clared that at this point that
isn't the issue. The important
thing, he said. is mutual plan
ming and more nurses.
There is, he said, a great ad-
vantage in having a full-time
nurse in each school. The
health of children, he added,
is of paramount Importance in

DR.. Hansen also spelled out
the health teaching programs
in the schools from the early
grades through high school.

Milk Fund Bill
BY the Associated Press

The Agriculture Department
today reversed itself and backed
legislation to increase funds
for the special milk program

Clarence L. Miller, Assistant
Secretary Of Agriculture, told g
House Agriculture Subcommit-
tee, however, that the program
started in 1854 should not be
made permanent.
Mr.. Miller said he favored
bills by Representative John

subcommittee chairman, and
various other members which
would:

zation Of $8l million for the

year ending June 80. 1860. to

The grants would be augmented

Third Conference
This was the third Demo-
cratic conference since this
session began three weeks ago,
in sharp contrast to other
recent years in which the
Democrats have met as a party
group only on opening day.
Some Democrats expect
President Eisenhower to veto
any bill carrying Federal
grants. The administration
favors only Federal payment
of interest charges on State
bond issues to meet the class
room shortage.
Senator Hill of Alabama
chairman of the Labor and
Welfare Committee. and Sen
ator Mcnamara of Michigan,
sponsor Of the pending bill,
said they hope to gain the sup
port of most Democrats.
