AGRICULTURE IS GREAT PROBLEM, SAYS GOVERNOR Ritchie Summarizes Accomplish ments Of Administration And Outlines Further Suggestions For Bettering Government At Conference With Editors. WOULD FURTHER RAISE TAX ON GASOLINE In his address delivered at ihe Exe cutive Mansion Saturday . before al out 60 editors of the Maryland Press. Governor Ritchie not only gave a complete summary of the construc tive accomplishments of his adminis tration but he also offered sugges tions for further betterment of the State Government that made a strong appeal to the visiting newspapermen. Program Of Governor Some of the suggestions made by the Governor, and which probably will be taken up by the next Leg islature, are as follows: Development of some system of co-operative marketing which, without affecting the prlci to the consumer, will yield a fair profit to the farmer. The question of development of the University of Maryland; and linked up with it. what is to be done with such colleges as St. John's and Washington. Increase of from 2 to 3*4 cents a gallon In the gasoline tax to eliminate altogether the exist ing tax based on horsepower. Possibility of fixing an industrial zone about Curtis Bay. to let it play its part in the commercial development of Baltimore; this in connection with the problem of harbor pollution and conse quent injury to fish and oyster life. Physical merger of the Maryland Penitentiary and House of Correction, either on the House of Correction site or elsewhere. Agricultural Interests Vital In- referring to the vital needs af fecting the agricultural interests of this State, Governor Ritchie said: j “The great present problem Is more j or less the same everywhere, namely, the development of some system of i co-operative marketing which will enable the farmer to dispose of his products at a price which, without hurting the consumer, will yield the farmer a profit commensurate with the profits in other industries. But the ways of solving that problem are by no means the same everywhere. “Bpt for the State to he of real ; help to the farmer, the farmer must i do what is necessary to help hlm | s elf- The first thing he must do is organise.
