By the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 4.—Clear- ing house associations in two Ohio cities—Cleveland and Dayton—and newspapers in several tewns today launched various scrip plans to combat the restriction of bank deposits general in this State. _The Cleveland Clearing House Asso- ciation will issue certificates backed by approved collateral early next week, it was announced by the association’s president, H. Creech. “The purpose,” he said, “will be to secure fer the city a form of pay roll currency that will not go into hoard- ing.” He said the certificates will be “based on the deposit with the trustee of actual cash, notes, bonds and other approved collateral. ‘The intent will be to make them demonstrably good in in- trinsic value as actual currency.” The Dayton Clearing House Associ- ation agreed to back an issue of scrip, based on 50 per eent of the impounded accounts of depositors. It is hoped to have the plan in operation next week. Newsp:pers at Akron, Massillon, Bowling Green and Newark gave serip to employes instead of weekly pay checks today. Merchants of those cities have agreed to accept the paper in ex- change for merchandise and in turn will use it to meet their newspaper adver- tising bills.

ARLINGTON SEEKS EARLY GAS SLASH Reopening of Rosslyn Co. Case March 23 to Bring Plea for Temporary Cut. Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va, March 4—Upon the reopening of the Rosslyn Gas Co. rate case here on March 23, the State Coarporation Commission will consider the request of the Public Utilities Com- missicn of Arlington County for a temporery reduction pending final dis- position of the case, it was announced yesterday at the time the continuance was granted. 1t was announced by the commission thet Allen J. Saville, prominent engi- neer, would arrive in Arlington County on Monday morning to make a com- plete check of the company’s proper- ties and that he would be requested to complete his investigation by March 23. The continuanee was granted at the request of the attorneys for the Wash- ington Gas Light Co, of which the Virginia concern is a subsidiary, when they stated that the sudden death of William H. Blook, jr., chief of the gas company’s valuation staff, had pre- vented the preparation of the llrg: commission’s order in reopening the case after a delay of almost two years. Continuance Opposed. A continuance of 90 days was re- quested by the cempany and was ob- jected to by G. O. Basham, special counsel for the Arlington utilities com- mission, and Edmund D. Campbell, chairman of that body, who acted as spokesmen for Arlington County. Claim- jing that they were ready to proceed with the case, the Arlington County representatives asked that no continu- ance be granted unless there was at least a temporary rate reduction to put Arlington County on the same basis as Montgomery County, Md., which is en- joying a temporary diseount on bills pending the completion of valuation hearings in the District of Columbia. In announcing the continuance, the State Corporation Commission directed that the books and records of the Washington Gas Light Co. be thrown open for inspection by representatives of the commission at any time it might be deemed advisable to go over them. Complijance with this order was as- sured by T. Justin Moore and E. Ran- dolph Willlams, counsel for the com- pany. ¢ Ask Slash to $1.25. Counsel for Arlington County is ask- ing a reduction of from $1.50 to $1.25 a thousand cubie feet, plus an addition- al 8!, per cent discount on bills until the case is settled. In addition to Basham and Camp- bell, the Public Utilities Commission of Arlington County was represented by Albert W. Jones, secretary, and C. I Kephart and P. E. Schaub, members. County Manager Roy S. Braden was present, as also was L. C. McNemar, representing the Arlington County Civic Federation. —_— PARIS PAPERS PLAY UP ROOSEVELT’S ADDRESS Rumor He May Take Initiative in Geneva Arms Parley Is Published. By the Associsted Press. PARIS, March 5.—President Roose- velt's inaugural address was extensively reported and prominently displayed in Constitution in case of war transforms the President into a veritable dictator, as was President Wilson.”. This state- ment was made in connection with what Petit Journal called Mr. Roosevelt's re- quest for exceptional war-time powers. “Mr. Roosevelt's first declarations are those of a chief consclous of his heavy responsibility,” ssid the conservative Figaro. “(He is) ready for action, and resolved to overcome crisis with the exceptional powers which he will de- mand of Oongress.” Petit Parislen said it was rumored that President Roosevelt may consider an important initiative soon in the Geneva Disarmament Conference along the lines of the consultative pact.

BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va., March 4.—Because of the limited num- ber of items in the budget that could be affected by such action, the proposal of the Business and Professional Tax- payers' League to secure & 25 per cent reduction in the budget would prob- ably result in the discontinuance of certain governmentzal activities that are believed vital to ths welfare of the | | entire county, it was learned today. | While county officials have not com- | pieted their study of the question, it was indicated that such a cut would | probably result in the discontinuance | of the free garbage and trash collec- tion system that was installed last year. | This service, because of the urban na- ture of the county, is held by officials to be necessary, both to the health and comfort of the cltiu?, all of whom would sufter by its elimination. Held Step Backward. It was further declared that to abol- ish the gervice after it has once been | installed is a step backward and could not possibly be justified by the result- ant saving on the tax bills. Another activity that probably would | be brought to practically a standstill is the proposed road improvement pro- gram for the year. A straight 25 per cent reduction in the rate, it was be- lieved, would leave no funds for new construction or imprcvement and only the approximate sum of $80,000 re- turned annually by the State from gas- oline tax collections for maintenance. ‘The new budget proposes an exten- sive surfacing program that would do away with the last of the county-owned dirt roads, but it is believed that this} would have to be entirely abandoned if & 25 per cent cut was made, As submitted by County Manager Roy S. Braden to the County Board, the new budget already is sufficiently lower than last year's budget to per- | mit a reduction in the tax rate of from $240 to apprcximately $2.26, it was said, whereas a 25 per cent redug- tion would require a cut in the rate of approximately 60 cents on the $100 valuation. Schools Not Affected. No part of the proposed tax cut could be applied to the present rate of $1.05 for schools, it was said, since this entire amount is needed for the schools and in addition a substantial increase has been requested by the School | Board. | Tax cuts are being sought by the | Business and Professional Taxpayers’ League, the Arlington Ccunty Taxpay- ers' Leaguve, the Tax Relicf Committee | of the Arlington County Bar Associa- | tion, and others. The board of direc- tors of the Arlington County Chamber | of Commerce will meet next Thursday night to complete its budget study and make definite recommendations regard- ing the proposed expenditures, | Commutation Cat Dies.

BY JACK ALLEN, 8taff Correapondent of The Btar. SILVER S8PRING, Md, March 4—An active program of road construction and repair work will be carried out in Mont- gomery County curing 1933 and 1934 dezpite the county adminkiration’s re- cent decision to abandon plans for the isiuance of $300,000 in new bonds, it was learned here today. Pigures compliled by Charles Y. Lati- mer, olerk to the Board of County Com- missioners, disclose that $323,697.44 is expected to be available for new con- struction, while it has been estimated that the county will receive approxi- mately $276,000 from the State gasoline tax for maintenance of its roads sys- tem during the next two fiscal years. ‘The funds available for new construc- tion purposes will be applied to a num- ber of items appearing on the uncom- pleted road program drafted in 1931, but it has not been definitely deter- mined as yet which of these projects will be carried out, according to Lacy Shaw, president of the Board of Com- missioners. $600,000 Will Be Needed. It has been estimated that it would roquire shout $600,000 to complete the 1931 highway schedule and it was to| this purpose that the administration | had proposed to issue the $300.000 in bonds this year. Public sentiment di-| rected against the sale of new bonds | at this time, however, led officials to discard this plan early this week. ‘The money which Latimer estimates will be available for new road projects will be obtained from four sources. One of the items is dependent upon the | General Assembly’s adoption of Gov. Albert C. Ritchie’s road and gas tax roposal, which State administration | nlderl are confident will be passed by the Legislature. A total of $157,075 remains to be ex- | nded from the general construction find‘ of 1932, $87,000 is left from an| $89,000 bond authorization in 1931 and | $58,000 is available from the Federal| money allocated to the county for road canstruction last Summer, while it is expected that the county will receive $126,668 this year under the Governor's road and gas tax proposal. | 330,000 More Expected. | Of the $136,686, the sum of $30,000 | would be derived from the State by the | the sale of road machinery to the State Roads Commission if that body takes over the county highway system and for | services which the county engineering| department has rendered the commis- slon, while $96,666 would be received from the gasoline tax for the first six menths of the current calendar year. This would increase the money avail- able for new construction to $408,741, but from this sum the county must pay | the State Roads Commission $85,043.56, | which it owes that organization for construction work carried out for the county this year. Under Gov. Ritchie's proposal to the State Legislature the county is to re-| ceive approximately $138.000 from the gasoline tax allocations during each of the next two fiscal years, beginning July 1, all of which would be applied to maintenance and improvement of | existing county roads The gas tax allocations, under the State administration’s plan, could nct be expended for construction of new roads. 2 your This fresh price. 710 12th St. N.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 4.—The Prings Georges County delegation had before it todsy & suggestion that it authorize the establishment of beer gardens in the county. Advanced by Delegate William F. Keys and supported by a delegation which called on the county's delegation recently, the measure would have three principal advantages, according to its backers. It would add to the county’s revenue, prevent establishment of undesirable resorts in Prince Georges and safeguard local merchants already fn business, ac- cording to backers of the plan. They argue that when Cangress legal- izes the sale of beer, numerous resorts will be opened along the Baltimore Boulevard, where beer will be sold, rmitted by law or nct. “Every hot dog stand on the Eeltimore Boulevard will be selling beer illegally when Congress acts if a bill of this sort is not ed,” Delegate Keys said. “It would a big step toward temperance, considering what conditions are now.” Modeled after a bill for Baltimore County now pending in the Legislature, it would require an annual license fee of $250 and only persons who had re- sided in the county long enough to be- come voters would be eligible to obtain Meense. This, it was explained, would prevent Washingtonians from coming into Prince Georges and opening drinking Y Filled by Vacuum Holds 102% more ink No increase in size “Vacuum Filling”—an utterly new idea in fountain Eem—has just been perfected by Parker.
