B2 = NICE LASHES BACK, CHARGES LOBBYING Governor Accuses Attorney General’s Office of Block- ing Economies. By the Associated Press. ANNAPOLIS, March 16.—The attor- ney general’s office was charged by Gov. Nice today with “actie, persist- ent and aggressive lobbying” to con- tinue a “political patronage handout” of from 25 to 30 appointments in State roads title work. The Governor, declaring that it was unfortunate that party politics had been raised in connection with the budget, said his plan to create a title and right of way division in the State Roads Commission would have saved about $29,000 in four years in legal fees alone and cut the appointments to seven. The House refused to allow the Governor's proposal, which was sup- ported in the Senate. As a compro- mise, $20,000 was put in the budget for a compensation and insurance division instead of the title division, the title work remaining in the State Law De- partment. | Gov. Nice said returns from the $8.- | 500,000 bond issue for treasury relief | would not be available for “approxi- mately two months.” | “It is unfortunate that the question | of party politics should have been raised in connection with the passage of the budget” the Governor said. | “During the past four years. under the allegedly good and economical man- agement by Mr. Gray (John B. Gray), f the attorney general’s office, the cost to the people in fees alene to lawyers, to say nothing of expenses, for the examination of titles in the State Roads Commission has amounted to the sum of $140,000. “I set up in the budget a depart- ment for the doing of all this work at a cost of approximately $27,000 a year, inclusive of necessary clerical assist- ance, a saving of $29,000 in legal fees THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

At the very moment he was issuing that statement there was in the treasury in general funds available for current expenditures nearly $3,- 000.000. “This statement has not helped the credit of the State nor did it expedite the passage of the budget. At the time he was issuing it a conference committee was agreeing and the budget was assured of passage. “Aside from this, the present budget has been passed more than a week ahead of the passage of any previous budget in the history of the State. Neither myself or the Legislature can in justice be criticized of delay in the handling of a $62,000,000 proposition. “The controller must have known when he made his statement that re- turns from the bond issue just passed could not be available for approxi- mately two months.” FINANCES ARE SOUND. Maryland Controller Issues Statement on Conditions. By the Associated Press. SALISBURY, March 16.—The credit of the State of Maryland is “beyond question by any one,” State Controller William S. Gordy, jr., asserted today in the general fund, the State con- or even intimated, the State was| bankrupt, | Replying to a statement by Gov. Nice that there is “nearly $3,000,000” 1 nthe general fund, the State con- troller said the general fund had not been that large for many months and on March 15 it had no balance. Bonds to be issued by authority of & measure now awaiting the Gover- nor’s signature will be dated April 15 and the proceeds will be available on that date, Mr. Gordy said, assuring the State’s finances will be “again back on a sound basis and that the usual high credit rating will be main- tained.” The controller’s statement follows: Credit Beyond Question. “I have never made a statement, much less broadcast, such news, that the State of Maryland was bankrupt. The credit of the State of Maryland is beyond question by anybody. I did make the statement that the general fund account of the State was de- pleted, and such is a fact. There is not at this time, nor has there been for many months, a $3,000,000 bal- ance to the general fund of the State, as stated by Gov. Nice. There was in the treasury of Maryland on March 15 more than $5,000,000, all of which belongs to special funds and special trust funds, but there was no balance to the credit of the general fund. “The bond bill could not be legally considered until after the passage of the budget and the general fund of the State was not assured of addi- tional cash until the passage of the bond bill which provides funds for this account. Now that the budget is out of the way and the bond bill has been passed and awaits the Governor’s signature, there is no reason for fur- ther anxiety. The bond bill provides that the bends for this purpose shall be dated April 15, and it is proposed that the bonds will be sold and the cash in hand on that date. Sound State Finances Assured. “The passage of the budget and the signing of the bond bill clears up mat- ters as far as I am concerned, and we are thus assured that the State’s finances are again back on a sound | program with a plan of his own t each family head would get. By the Associated Press. Oklahoma’s cowboy Representative, who has constituted himself a one- man “anti-Long bloc,” yesterday came out with an assertion that Senator Long is “the tool of these rich men because he won't support a real share- the-wealth plan.” With his big, black cowboy hat on, and his high-heeled boots clicking against the floor, Representative Gas- saway, Democrat, of Oklahoma strode back and forth in his office and said: “Long has been using Harvey Couch’'s private car and playing golf" with Mr. Hilton, the president of the Standard Oil Co. of Louisiana.

A mention of his congressional dis- trict changed the Gassaway scowl to | a prideful beam. He said the Dean and the Waner brothers, Hubbell and other base ball greats originated there, and remarked that “every rodeo champion for 20 years has come from there.” “Incidentally,” he added, “we've got George Kimes, Machine-gun Kelly an@ phone call, in walked his 7-year-old his wife, Jim Clark, Adam Richetti, | Wilbur Underhill.” When the reminiscing was over, he rejected a proposal to use the Town- send $200-a-month pension plan clubs as a nucleus for the new organiza- tion he perhaps facetiously contends he will form to boost a $10,000 in- come for every man. “Professionally,” he said, “I'm a breeder of good stock. I believe in thoroughbreds, and I don't want the stock to get mixed.” HOUSE MEMBERS VIEW NEW FILM Military Affairs Committee Sees | Preview of “Birth of a New America.” Members of the Military Affairs Committee of the Hoeuse of Repre- sentatives attended a pre-view of | “Birth of a New America” in the Hip- podrome Theater, Ninth and K streets, yesterday morning as guests of Sid- ney B.

Long Wants Debate With Baruch, Not Johnson, He Says By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, March 16.—Sen- ator Huey P. Long asserted in a telegram today that he does not care to argue with Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, “employe and servant,” but he would like to debate with Bernard Baruch, “employer and master,” at Madison Square Garden or some larger audito- rium. The Senator’s challenge to the financier was in a message to carl Randau, president of the New York Newspaper Guild, in response to an invitation to Long, Johnson and Rev Charles E. Coughlin to appeas in a debate March 29. Senator Long said he was busy on that date, but would be glad to meet Baruch any night the first week of April. DR.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 16— Possibility of the enactment of & blanket sales tax by the State Assem- bly to raise the funds needed to meet Maryland’s relief requirements ap- peared remote tonight as six new county delegations allied with the “border-line bloc” that has formed to resist the passage of such a levy in the House. Acquisition of the new delegations gives the bloc a total of 65 votes— five more than the number required to defeat the 2 per cent sales levy bill which has been introduced in that branch of the Legislature by Speaker Emanuel Gorfine. It was also learned tonight that two new plans of relief taxation which Senators Lansdale G. Sasscer of Prince Georges County and Sen- ator Stedman Prescott of Montgom- ery County have evolved in an effort to have one or the other substituted for the sales tax will be presented to the legislators Monday night, when they return from the week end re- cess. Utility Bill Tax Proposed. One plan calls for a 7 per cent tax on bills of public utility patrons, including electric light and power and gas consumers and telephone company subscribers, while they would not disclose the other, except to say it includes a combination of three special taxes. The first plan would net the State | approximately $3,500,000 in new rev- | enue, which has been set as the max- | imum amount Maryland can raise as | its share of the welfare program for | any one year. Senator Sasscer, president of -the Senate, who has been working in con- junction with Senator Prescott for the last two weeks, studying every possible source from which revenue |can be derived, declared that they the sales tax. “The two plans which we have prepared,” he stated, “would not work any great hardship upon any indus- try, any one source or one section of to the Senate Finance Committee, or | working folks to @ lousy $5.000 8|4 nececcars” upon the floor of the Senate. “In our opinion the sales tax would work a great hardship upon the citi- zens of our counties, be ruinous to a number of small businesses and greatly depreciate the value of real property. We intend to do everything humanly possible to substitute our plan for the sales tax, so that relief | needs can be provided for without | enacting this hardship on our particu- lar counties.” The “border-line bloc” formed here yesterday by the delegations from 12 counties immediately contiguous to | vania, Delaware and Virginia, which | have no sales tax, now includes 18 county groups. Gassaway was trying to arrange for a good crop of outlaws—Matthew and | 'y Juir o the bioc are Prince Georges and !Montgomery Counties, while their allies are the delegations from Frederick, St. Marys, Washington, Howard, Charles, Calvert, Cecil, Har- ford, Kent, Worcester, Somerset, Tal- bot, Wicomico, Caroline, Dorchester and Queen Anne. Delegate John S. White of Prince Georges, chairman of the group, sald that Baltimore City, Allegany, Carroll, Garrett and Baltimore | which are not in the region which would be affected by such a levy, have not promised their united sup- port, but said that several scattered | more City. « Bloc to Meet Tomorrow. White has called a meeting of th bloc for the House chamber Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock to consider the advisibility of preparing substitute legislation that would raise the funds needed by the State for its relief program. The original bloc committed itself to a combination of special taxes on public utility bills, beer in barrels, in- comes over $4,000, corporation in- comes, cosmetics, patent medicines and perfumes. “We feel,” under no circumstances can it be con- cluded at this time that the sales tax is the only tax to which we can turn. | We have had only a limited time in | which to investigate the sources of | revenue and I am posiéive other plans | can be worked out.” including Delegates Ruth E. Shoe- maker of Montgomery County and Dr. Charles V. Hayden of St. Marys appeared before the House Ways and Means Committee today and pre- sented the substitute relief tax pro- gram when that group took up Speaker Gorfine’s sales levy bill.

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va., March 16.—Budget estimates for the fiscal year, beginning July 1, carry- ing a total estimated expenditure of $1,042,880, were transmitted .to the Arlington County Board today by Couynty Manager Roy S. Braden. e figure is $141,094 above the present budget, which carries expendi- tures of $901,786. If adopted as submitted, the budget calls for an increase in the county tax rate of 30 cents per $100 assessed val- uation, from $2.40 to $2.70. General Fund Up. The budget is divided into general fund expenditures, estimated at $504,- 200, as against $419,200 this year; water fund, estimated $165,000, against $120,365; school fund, estimated at $373,130, against $352,721, and dog tax fund, $550, against $500. In transmitting the budget to the board, Braden called attention to “small increases ® * * due to the fact of increasing service and greater de- mands being placed on the various de- partments.” These included an in- crease in the treasurer’s department of about $2,200, in the sheriff’s office of about $3,500, in the fire department | of about $4.400, and in the depart- | ment of public welfare of $6,300. De- | creased estimates are shown for some | other departments. Explaining the increases, Braden declared there will be extra work in | the treasurer's office in collecting sewer assessments and general tax | collections; that he has recommended | one more officer for the sheriff’s de- | partment, whereas Sheriff H. B. Fields | asked for three more men. Roads Increased. The road budget has been increased to $135,000, compared to $108,000 this year. This increase was necessitated in part, Braden said, by the fact that sewers are being installed on many | dirt streets where no funds are avail- able to put them back in shape. The new sewer department is pro- vided for by an estimated appropria- tion of $18,260, in addition to which |a fund of $50,000 is asked for debt | service on sewers. “A great deal depends on the front- | | footage assessment that will be set| { up.” Braden explained in this con- | nection, “because if lateral lines can- | }not take care of their own expenses | and pay their own way it will be| necessary for additional taxation to cover and balance on this part of | the sewer work.” Explaining the water department | increase, Braden wrote the board: “Our collections are greater than | were set forth in the budget for the | past year, but there are many exten- | sions that must be made in order to | | complete the system. We have in- creased the water service budget from | | approximately $80,000 to $100,000, and | | for the next five years it will be neces- | sary to set forth $60.000 a year for | debt retirement.” | Revenue Explained. | | ‘The school estimate was transmitted | to Braden last month by Supt. Fletcher | Kemp. The approximately $20,000 increase will hire five new teachers | and care for other expenses incident | to the increasing enrollment. Explaining revenue sources to raise the $1,042,880, Braden said: “The miscellaneous revenue for gen- eral purposes shows an amount of | $37,820; from the Commonwealth for | capitation taxes, $5,000, and gas tax, $80,000.

Many Washingtonians will recall that day. but not for the breakdown of the blue-law restrictions on street cars. After the passing of the horse car came the cable car, run by an endless cable under the tracks. If a street car wanted to go, all it had to do was grab onto the cable and away it whisked — sometimes at the terrific speed of 5 to 7 miles an hour. This cable street car service was the pride of the city, but the power house, | which was on the site where the Dis- trict Building now stands, was de- stroyed by fire and the cable was stopped.
