A nation has about hit bottom when its premier can't survive a threat to be honest. :o: Among the cheerful notes in busi nes is the fact that the average pur chaser of a jar of hard candies in 1929 has used it up and is in the market again. The first thing you know we'll be haranguing the fanners to do some thing for city relief. :o: By putting on a little extra steam it is still possible to keep up with the Jonese3 backing up. :o: Amateurs, Miss Didrikson, are those who never take anything un less it is called a scholarship. :o: Some good method of ending gov ernment waste is known to every able politicain who happens to be out' of office. :o: The most successful way to wage a war against governmental extrav agance would be to fire a let of our political big guns. :o: Where old Uncle Sam got snarled up, was, he thought it was hands across the sea when what Europe meant was handouts.

That act temporarily gave such pow ers to President Wilson. Erandegee, who hated Wilson, ironically sug gested as an addition, in order to make the dictatorship complete: "Any powers overlooked in this act are hereby conferred on the presi dent." But while still engaged in the pro cess of blocking Mr. Hoover, the dem ocrats Lave already begun to hedge on the powers which hardly a week j factorr. 5n r,-kin tfc GUIDANCE FPvOSI I&LRYLAND ago, with a fire trumpet blast, they I proposed to confer on Mr. Roosevelt. His orders are to be subject to con gressional veto through a G 0-day per iod under a provision similar to that! now being invoked to block Mr. Hoo- It is. therefore, easy to see that, with the shrinkage in property values and the in crease in taxes since the World War, real estate has now come to bear an undue burden of tax ation. Governor Ritchie of Maryland in his message to the state general assembly. The situation in Maryland, as re vealed by Governor Ritchie, is inter esting in its relation to problems now demanding attention in other states. The Maryland governor reports a balancing or the Ltate budgets fer tLc next two years "cn the basis of cur rent income and resources," with no increase cf taxes or new revenue sources, together with a reduction it: the state tax rate 01 about 12 per cent. State salary adjustments and other economies and a diversion of certain luncis, permitted ny law, are at condition pos sible. But beyond that is seen the need for tax relief of a pronounced kind for property owners.

The signihcar.ee or the parm down cf the authority which vas to have been given Roosevelt is that congress is temperamentally averse.! even in such an emergency as the present, to surrendering control over j the administrative branches cf the! government in which so many sup porters of representatives and sen ators have jobs. It i in this light that one must read the majority re port of the house committee favoring nullification of Mr. Hoover's crders. When the time comes, more cbjec-j, liUUJ Ilia v L 1.

This is the chief reason why, as a starter susceptible of later modifica tion, the immediate adoption cf Mr. Hoover's orders is desirable. If any further argument were necessary for the ratification of the "lame duck" amendment to the con stitution, reducing the interval be tween election and inauguration, it would be furnished by the majority report cf the house committee. Fair ness, compels tha statement that neither the administration nor the majority appears at its best. The ad ministration seems guilty of an al most cullen refusal to put its case forward in effective detail. The com mittee majority, in one of the worst written reports on records, is chicf- eliniinate county road levies and lower moderately county rehoo itaxes. As a means of rt ill further relief, however, there is suggested for study j the lcATiug of commodity or sales taxes cn tobaccos, reft drinks and ;um. That would be de- a! signed as a means cf distributing the lax burden, with farm land and real estate owners to receive the benefits. (While a general sales tax is not re commended, the extension of this principle to include other commodi ties is urged.

In short, both tho administration and the house democrats are guilts' of a stubborn refusal to co-cperate. It is evident, whatever may be Mr. Roosevelt's experience in the final test, that the only hope, however small, of ever achieving a thorough going federal reorganization must rest on control of both the adminis tration and congress by the same party.
