Multum in ParVo.

The resolutions passed by the Mary
land League of Republican Clubs are
too lengthy for reproduction in their
entirety, but the statement that is of
most lively interest is that referring to
the achievement of the Republican
state administration, which will come
under review by the people of the
state this fall.
I'VE are on the eve of another cleo
tion for state officers, - read The resolu-
tion, and it is with pleasure that we
call the attention of the voters of the
state to the record of the first Repub-
lican administration. Once more we
congratulate the state that, by Re-
publican promise redeemed, it has the
first and only honest election and reg
istration law that was ever placed up
on it's statute books. By this law the
sanctity of the ballot is assured and
the birth-right of every citizen is pre-
served inviolate. The Free School
book law, the Eight-hour Labor law,
and other laws of equal import stand
as shining monuments of the devotion
Of the Republican party to the inter
est of the whole people. Two Repub-
lican legislatures have sat at Annap-
oils, and their time has been taken up
with the affairs of vital Importance to
the citizens, instead of wasted with
jobbing for the bosses. The woman
has been made equal to the man in
the eye of the law; reforms haye been
instituted in every department of
state government, and the people
have had the service of honest and
efficient public servants.

not be expected to furnish the town
with light at loss, and should not
be asked so to do.
IA moderate reduction in light on
the lines laid down, doing away with
the day police, and a judicious and
careful supervision of labor expended
on public improvements, would result
in saving of approximately one
thousand dollars. An amendment to
our charter by the legislature to meet
next winter empowering the town
authorities to raise the rate of taxa
tion to seventy-five cents on the
hundred dollars would bring in an
increase of at least $1,000, which
amount added to the saving just men
toned would provide us with up
wards of $4,000 of revenue not now at
our command. This would enable us
to carry on our work and provide an
adequate sinking fund to meet the
payment of bonds already issued.
The municipal ownership of an
electric plant has been discussed by
many, and if such could be reached
at a reasonable outlay the profit now
accruing to private parties would be
a saving to the corporation.
These are subjects that will be
brought forward at our citizens meet
ing on Friday next, and we trust they
will be fairly and carefully considered.
AS probably the heaviest taxpayer
in our community and an enterpris-
ing business man, deeply interested
in the future of Oakland, we feel sure
Mr.. Offutt will meet his fellow citi-
zens with all the liberality he con-
sistently can.

For THE qualification of the Jour-
nal we desire to state that the
charges made for election printing
and publishing done at this Office last
fall were at the same rate as the Jour-
nal charges for advertising when some
unfortunate individual, widow or
orphan is sold out at mortgagee's sale.
We also desire to state that the rate
made for advertising is fixed by law
and we defy the Journal, even in it's
cowardly manner, to prove that we
charged more than the law allows.
In connection with the Journals
bid for the printing of the election
ballots we have it from good author
ity that for the 5000 ballots necessary
for that election the Journal wanted
nearly $14 per thousand. The work
was done at another office for the sum
of IS per thousand.
To read that contemplate aggre-
cation of rot and slander (the Jour-
nal one unacquainted with the mo-
tives which prompt its G1linlHS toward
all acts of public officials and those
engaged in the publication of legiti-
mate newspaper, the only conclusion
that could be reached is that the
Journal is the only pure article with

THE INTREPID Col. Fred Funston,
who is fighting at Manila and whom
some people have been unkind enough
to compare with another western col
onel who didn't do any fighting,
writes home: II am afraid that some
people at home will lie awake nights
worrying about the ethics of this war,
thinking that our enemy is fighting
for the right of self government, etc.
The word independent means simply
to these people license to raise hell,
and if they got control they would
raise a fine crop of it, They are wag
ing war not against tyranny, but
against Anglo-Saxon order and de-
cency."

the state are deserving of special men
tion. Under the direction of the pres
ent financial officers the treasury of
the state has been relieved of the bur
den of on-productive assets; the pub
lie loans have been consolidated and
refunded at a decreased rate of inter

have been discovered, and the finances
of the state are in better condition
than ever before known"

THE B. & O. Company is looking
up a location for new general shops.
These shops are to be constructed on
large scale. Officials of the COM
pany haye been at Benwood and
Pittsburg viewing sites. 1t would be
an advisable thing for the people of
Oakland to at least tender the com
pany some inducements to locate
their shops here. This may not be
the point they desire, but it would at
least show that we are awake to our
best interests, and that we have the
enterprise to bid for some of the good

Difficulties in the adjustment of
alone to individuals in their private
business affairs, but often confront
municipalities. Such is and has been
for some time past subject of much
discussion by the citizen taxpayers
of the town of Oakland. Those in
terested have long realized that some
steps would have to be taken to cor
rect the evils at present existing.
That the income of the corporation
from all sources did not and could not
meet the necessary expenditures, and
that we were fast drifting into con
dition of indebtedness that would
soon assume a very serious aspect,
forced itself urgently upon all think
inc people. The Mayor and Council
confronted by demands for public
improvements they were not able to
carry out, have discussed the matter
from every standpoint and their
efforts to provide some means where
by to accomplish the task before them
eliminated on Saturday last in
meeting of the citizens to ascertain
their views. AT this meeting many
suggestions were advanced and full
discussion of the town affairs resulted
in the appointment of a committee to
meet the Mayor and Council at
special meeting to be held on Thurs
day, May 4th, and also to confer with
Mr.. d. 5E. Offutt, the owner of the
electric light plant, and report to an
adjourned meeting of the citizens on
Friday evening.
The heaviest item of expense to the
town is the lighting of our streets,
which now costs the sum of $2,170 a
year. We do not know what conclu-
sion this committee will arrive at
after their conference with our corpo
rate authorities and Mr.. Offutt, nor
can we have the remotest idea as to
what it may offer in the way of solv-
ing the problem, but it seems very
clear that the only remedy for the
evil is in retrenchment (where it can
be properly applied) and an increase
of revenue by an advance in the rate
of taxation. Our contract for electric
lights at So, 40 will not expire for two
years. The charter restricts the rate
of taxation to fifty cents on the one
IL
and will he, meeting his fellow citizens
in their efforts to ameliorate their
condition, make any considerable re-
duction in the price named in his con-
tract for the arc lights furnished? We
have now in use twenty-three arc
lights for which we pay the amount
previously named. How many of
these can we dispense with and in
their place substitute incandescent
lights? To meet our obligations we
need an additional income of at least
$4,000. 1t is very evident that this
amount cannot be provided by sim
ply reduction in our bill for light.
No town can take retrograde step.
1t is true that we might do away
with some few of the arc lights
in certain sections of the town,
and as has been said previously, sub
stitute incandescent lights in their
place. This would be a step in the
way of retrenchment, but only step.
How far can we carry this reduction?
AS in every business enterprise, the
prospect for remuneration for time,
labor and the capital invested must
be the incentive, and we reach point
in reduction of our expenses for light
when there would be no profit for the
Electric Light Company, and conse-
quently would meet with rejection of
our proposition. Mr.. Offutt could
