J DOUBLE TAX PARLEY| Flies With White House Dog THE SUNDAY STAR, [FEDERATION ASKS GIRL BRINGING GIFT FOR ROOSEVELT. PLANS PROPOSALS Recommendations to Be Made Before Special Session of Congress. Climaxing two days’ discussion of the problem of conflicting taxation, the Interstate Legislative Assembly late yes- today put 1ito motion machinery through which it is hoped to go before the anticipated special session of Con- for curbing duplication of tax levies gress with specific recommendation by Federal and State Governments, through co-ordination of the taxing systems ‘The assembly, which brought together lawmakers and fiscal officers of 29 States under auspices of the American Legislators’ Association, provided for a continuing committee to handle this issue of overlapping taxation and it is hoped to have action from this group within three or four months. Concur- Tently with the inauguration of this program, a resolution was adopted call- ing for reduction of the tax burden b & reduction of expenditures in Federal, State and local Governments, In deciding on the continuing com- mittee, a plan for financing its activi- ties was devised with adoption of a proposal to seek contributions of from $1,000 to $3,000 from State Legislatures. Asks Congress for $40,000. ‘The conference alsogadopted a reso- lution asking Congress to appropriate $40,000 for the Interstate Legislative Research Bureau in Chicago, which serves the legislators’ association, and keeps State legislative bodies in touch with each other’s activities. This re- aearch work now is privately financed. ‘The bill to authorize the appropriation, it was said, has already been reported to the House from its Library Commit- tee, while similar legislation is pending in the Senate. The assembly, which was the first of its kind held, was brought to a con- clusion with a dinner last night at the Shoreham Hotel, where sessions have been in progress since Friday morning. In deciding on the Continuing Com- mittee to survey the field of double tax- ation, before any recommendations were made, the conference followed general sentiment of those participating who opposed setting down any definite policy on taxation, before the matter had been glven study. The resolution under which the com- ittee was created sets forth in the preamble that the present tax burden of the country is about $9,500,000,000 annually and that it has become nec- essary to recognis> that there must be some agreement between Federal and State governments on conflicting and overlzpping levies.

SCHOOLCOSTSTUDY Maryland Senate Group to Hear State Head at Hearing. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md., February 4—With several suggestions for cutting the State school budget before it, the Senate Finance Committee is scheduled to con= duct a hearing with State Superintend= ent of Schcols Albert 8. Cook explaine irginia | ing the various educational items Tuese day afternoon. Supt. Cook and Gov. Ritchie have already cut the school budget more than $1,000,000, but there seems to be widespread sentiment among the Sen- ators in favor of further slashes. Among the proposals laid before the Finance Committee for the purpose of further cutting the school budget are e closing of one or more of the | State normal schools, the abolition of | the teachers’ retirement system and | the discontinuance of certain special | teachers, Seeks One School’s Closing. A bill_has already been ted |in" the Senate which would require | the State school suthorities to close one of the white normal schools. The mest inexpensive normal school in the State, that at Frostburg, requires an annual appropriation .of $76,000, but this entire amount could not be saved if the school were closed because some of the students, perhaps most of them, would enroll in one of the other two normal schools, increasing the cost of operating them. | _Senator Dudley Roe of Queen Anne | County has advanced the proposal to | abolish the teachers’ retirement system. | Money already pald into the teachers’ | retirement fund would be returned to | the contributors, with interest, while | the Btate's contribution to the fund up | to the present time would be used to pay those teachers already retired un= der_this plan. | The legality of the plan has been | questioned and it is also pointed out | that Baltimore City receives $500,000 ear from the State for its teachers’ rement fund and if this were dis- | constinued the city tax rate would in- | crehse about five cents. | The plans to eliminate special teach= lers #re aimed particularly at instruce tors ‘n home economics and manual | trainihg. Here again the State would | not receive the full benefit of the ap- propriation for those teachers, first be- | cause they are partially peid through Federal funds and second because their classes would be converted into aca- demic courses, requiring more teachers of academic subjects. The present school budget as drafted by Gov. Ritchie, Supt. Cook and Di- rector Walter Kirkman provides for & 10 per cent cut in the salaries of all school tzachers and county school offi- cials, reduces the appropriations for the normal schools, for vocational edu- cation and numerous other items. End of Cuts Is Seen, the Finance Committee. sald that, with the exception of th: abolition of some position in the educational department and various cuts, the administraticn believes there cannot bs any further reductions in the appropriations for those departments without possibly stultifying their work. Figures compiled by th= budget clerks show that 1,407 of the State employes receive less than $900 a vear and that 682 others receive less than $1,800 and these two groups constitute four-fifths of the tctal State cmployes. “This means,” Senator Sasscer said, “that if . the | have to be token Even if Senator J.
