THE SHOEMAKER LAW mis-
APPLIED.

According 10 the specifications made
by the Geological Survey Of Maryland
and upon which bids were invited by the
County Commissioners Of Frederick
county for the construction OF one aud
four tenths miles Of road, under the
Shoemaker Road Law providing State
aid for county roads, it has been found
that the cost at which the said road can
be built, judging by the figures in the
only bid submitted on Wednesday last.
is about six times greater per mile that
that Of the turnpikes throughout the
county and probably about three times
greater than the average approved
mecadimized road.
These estimates are in the rough but
they show approximately the disparity
between what is needed and should be
done. and the extravagances Of the
specifications of the engineers of the
Geological Survey. A knowledge OF
the road upon which the bids were
made gives some idea Of the situation
and points ont the futility Of the present
construction Of the law.
1t is a much travelled road and needs
improvement vastly but the public
will no doubt consider the figures sub
mitted by the bidders as grossly exces-
sive. Not that they represent an enor-
nous profit, for from all that we can
learn the bid is not unreasonable. in
view of the labor, materials and work
to be done, but the specifications call
for such elaborate and expensive con-
structioD, that when all the details are
looked over, the price for the job is
found to be in fair proportion To give
an idea of the difference, it has been
estimated that to pike the same road
and put it into first class condition

NO HOPE OF SURY
SURPLUS.
Deficit Has Increased Nearly
81. 100000 This Month.

Treasury officials have almost
abandoned hope of reducing the
Treasury deficit below So. ZOO 600
before July l, the beginning OF the
fiscal year. About May !. when
the deficit was bordering on the
S34. 900 900. it was fully believed
the receipts during the mouth
would leave a comfortable surplus.
reducing the deficit 70 the extent
of S3.000,000 OF $4,000. 200. 1t
was also thought the expenditures
could be reduced.
In both expectations the Treas
ury officials have been disappoint.
ed. The ordinary expenditures
have been greater than they were
in May. 1904. and the receipts
have not been near as fruitful as
expected. Instead of showing a
surplus during Nav there has been
a deficit of s.. 772. 723 for the
month.
At the close of office hours YES.
terday the deficit was S37. 46I. Isl.
a considerable increase during the
week.
The question now is whether
the receipts during June will be
sufficient TO reduce the deficit any,
where near the mark predicted.
A month or so ago expert fnan-
cial students in the Treasury De.
partment predicted that the de-
felt for the fiscal year would not
be above$2O, 900. 900. 1t is doubtful
if a single well-informed official in
the Treasury still adheres TO this
opinion.
Last year the month of June
showed surplus of $40, 1000, 900,
At best the receipts during the
coming month cannot be expected
to show a surplus greater than
SO. 900, 900. which would leave
a deficit for the fiscal year of S27,
600, 600. which is the mark set By
many outside financial students.

Negroes Form Nearly Third of
Washington's Population.

The official figures of the recent
police census Of the District of

whites and 1854 are negroes.
There are 153. 1927 males and 1859. .

Ex-Governor Jackson's Views.

Ex Governor Z E. Jackson,
was one of the enthusiastic Dem
ocrats at the State Central Com
mittee meeting In Baltimore last
Thursday, the 18th inst.
Elk Governor Jackson will sail
for England on June 9th, and
expects to be gone until October.
Most of the time will be spent
in Scotland and Ireland, although
he will also visit Paris and GER
tain parts of Germany.
The Ex-Governor is heartily
in favor of the adoption of tire
proposed suffrage amendment.
The adoption of this amend.
ment," be said, "means the elm
ination of the negro as a political
factor in Maryland, and no intel
ligent white man on either side
can deny that this will be for the
best interests of the whole State.
The fight for the amendment, in
my Judgment, should be made on
non partisan lines, and white Re.
publicans should be appealed TO
to support it as we'll as white
Democrats.

study conditions and inform
