The committee also reported the
following resolution
Resolved, That we deprecate and deplore
and are deeply Inundated by the never
changing spectacle of Democratic bosssm
and ring rule in the State OF Maryland,
We denounce the Democratic party in gen.
eral and it; local leaders and press in partic-
uar, as false to the interests of the citizens
of Garrett county. for while they would mas
querade as the farmers especial friends, they
assiduouSly and persstently inculcate the
political dogmas of II. q. Mills & Co., who
sought to place our principal products. inclu-
ding wool and lumber, on the free list.
We demand new assessment of property
on an equitable basis and insist that all val
ues, including mortgages. should be taxed !;
but we condemn, unquaitiedly, the wasteful
extravaganza of the Democratic managers at
the last assessment, when no less than ten
Democratic officials found an all summers
job which cost the Taxpayers of the county
about $1,000, or at least three times as much
as it. should have cost.
Longer terms OF the public schools should
be provided for, and the county system so
revised as to secure the full benefit of the
state school fund.
We congratulate the people on the addition
of one more month to the length of the school
term as a result of the agitation of the Ques-
ton through the columns of the newspapers,
mainly by Republican writers,
We denounce the disgraceful methods by
which Garrett county was dragged out from
under the provisions OF the general school
law, and the appointment of the school
board made the personal property OF the To-
cal Democratic bosses.
The people are sovereign, and we demand
for them the restoration of the God-given
right to elect their local officers, including
school commissioners and county treasurer
The county commissioners should appoint
the registration officers and fix their salaries.
We favor the most rigid economy consist
ent with the efficiency in the conduct of
county affairs.
The lowest tax rate in the history of the
county was under Republican management.
The highest tax rate the county ever had
was under Democratic management.
