present one is a patch work, and it
should be so changed as to give au-
thority, not only to issue bonds suf-
ficient to pay this debt, but at the
same time some COMMISSIONS that we
know of, should be corrected. Let
the people of the town take this mat
ter up at once. We are confident the
Mayor and Common Council will unite
with them in anything tending for the
betterment of our financial condition.
A proper bookkeeping system
would have tended to prevent this
condition; at least we would have
known of it long ago. 1t is unfort-
unate, and we trust that a similar
state of affairs will never occur again

construction can be placed upon their
action than that they are opposed to
any increase"
1t is absolutely false that the pres
ent Board of County Commissioners
has consistently refused" to make
provisions for the public schools in
their levy. On the contrary, in addi-
ton to the regular levy of $33,000.00
which is annually made, the present
Board in 1908 appropriated $19O3.14,
and in the year 1909, $620000. This
shows that the County Commissioners
are most liberal with the tax payers
money, SO far as public schools are
concerned
Mr.. Stansbury will not be able to
have ali additional levy made and it
is useless for him to attempt it. We
are surprised at him considering such
a thing, FOR tie present levy supplies
more money than by economical man
cement is annually expended for
tie County's needs. 1t is fortunate
that the majority of the Board are
Democrats, for they can be relied up
on to allow no useless expenditure

CONGRESS-.

This body met on Monday last, and
there are already indications of the
coming storm among the Republicans
of the Senate and of the House.
There is, in his own party, fierce
opposition to Mr. AIdrich in the Sen
ate and Mr.. Cannon in the House.
These gentlemen stand for what is
most ultra in the high protective
tariff policy, and many of the strong
est Republicans. are "up in arms
against them.
Now is the Democratic opportunity.
Now is the time for Democrats to
unite their efforts with the insurgent
Republicans, and beat down the men,
prominent as they are, who are the
champions of the iniquitous system,
which robs the toiling masses, to en-
rich the favored few.
The following from the Sun of the
7th inst. shows the feeling of Mr..
Fowler. one of the Republican insur-
gents against Aldrich and Cannon
eff all the "insurgent" Republicans
of the Senate and House are as reso-
Lutte and aggressive as Representative
Charles w. Fowler, of New Jersey
the regular session of the Sixty-fir
Congress, which began yesterday, may
mark an epoch in the history of the
Republican party. In a statement
published in the Sun yesterday Mr..
Fowler declared that unless the Re
publican party gets rid of Aldrichism
and Cannonism the people will get rid
of that party" The people, says this
outspoken "insurgent," will not per-
NIT Mr.. Aldrich ito pick their pockets
through the legerdemain of words
Their hopes have been turned to dis
gust and their faith to resentment, and
unless the Republican party utterly
repudiates Aldrichism and it's subser-
Went complement, Cannonism," that
party will, in Mr.. Fow1er's opinion,
"be shattered by thunderbolt of
righteous indignation and punitive
wrath"

THE ORGANIZATION. OF THE Leg
ISLATURE.

The question now, engaging the at
tention of the Democratic politicians
of the state, are, who Is to be President
of the Senate ? And who is to be
Speaker of the House of Delegates
These are both important offices and
the expedition with which business, is
conducted and much of the character
of legislation depends upon the pre-
siding officers.
The appointment of all the COM
mittees of the respective branches of
the legislature are made by these
officials, and as much of the work of
the session is done in committee, it
is of the utmost Importance that these
committees should be made up of the
best and most suitable men, for the
work which will be assigned them.
Hon. Arthur p. German, Jr., of How
ard, is the most prominently spoken
OF for the Presidency of the Senate,
and it is believed he can get the place
if he wants it. He has not said,, as
yet whether he wants it or not. Mr.
Benson, of Baltimore county, Mr..
Diggs, of Charles, and DR.. Hayden, of
ST. Marys, are most prominently spok-
en- of for the Speakership of the
House.
Either of these gentlemen is quail
fed to acceptably fill these positions,
and this paper does not express any
preference, leaving the selection
where it belongs, to the members of
the legislature.
What we want to see, however, in
the work of the coming General As
sembly, is the fulfillment of all the
pledges of the Democratic platform.
We have a Democratic Governor and
a Democratic majority in both houses
of the legislature, and there can be
no excuse for failure to enact into
law, that which our party, through its
platform, promised.
The Democratic advocate., 1909-12-10

done with their money, but the tax
payers of most towns and counties, il
not of all, in this State are not. Nc
balance sheet is ever shown them, the
most they ever get is once year q
long list of receipts and disburse-
ments.
The function of private business is
to secure a net profit, to make
money" while that of governmental
business, is "to raise and expend
money" How important is it then
for a municipality to know at any
time how much money it has to spend
for particular object, and for the tax
payer to know if the money he voted
for particular purpose is being used
for it.
And we believe that this is a matter
that the legislature could we'll con-
slider. Very few, if any of the coun-
ties or towns of our State, have mod
ern system of bookkeeping. Wouldn't
it be advisable to pass a law pre-
scribing uniform system OF
| bookkeeping to be adopted by
all municipal corporations and re-
quiring them to report to the Comp
troller each year, and have these re-
ports published? The tax payers
surely have right to an intelligent
- III
their money?
And the passage of such law
would not be an innovation. The
States of Ohio, Massachusetts, Min
nesota, North and South Dakota, New
York, Iowa, Indiana Wyoming and
/ Virginia,and possibly more, have pass
ed laws requiring uniform public ac-
counting, and they have resulted al
ways in a decrease of expenditures
So excellent did New York find it
that it's first law (adopted 1909 which
applied only to second and third class
cities, has been amended twice, each
amendment enlarging it's scope, sc
that it now includes all counties ex-
cept New York city, every city of the
second and third class, and every
incorporated village.
Let Maryland have uniform sys-
tenn of public accounting for all
counties and incorporated towns. ex-
cept the City of Baltimore. The pass
age of law requiring this will re-
suit in much saving.

THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF
WESTMINSTER.

The balance sheet, accompanying
the report of the Baltimore Auditing
Company to the Mayor and Common
Council, shows the necessity of the
financial condition of Westminster
receiving prompt and immediate con-
sideration and action by its citizens.
1t is in debt $17,617.81; about $4,000
of this amount is now due, and $4,000
of it must be met on the first of next
July. These debts cannot be paid
with our present tax levy, and it is
not advisable to continue paying from
five to six per cent. interest on float
ing debt. There is but one thing to
be done; this debt must be funded
and to do so we must raise money by
selling our bonds. This necessitates
an amendment to our charter. Our

AS anticipated by his friends, Mr..
Benjamin F. Grouse was reelected

was unanimous, which is proof of the
high standard of the Office under his
charge. There was no opposition to

WE NEED A UNIFORM PUBLIC AC.
COUNTING LAW.

The report of the Baltimore Audit
ing Company made to the Mayor and
Common Council last Monday night
contains this statement Your
methods of keeping the accounts of
your city in the past have been of a
very crude nature, in fact instead of
having a bookkeeping system, Your ac-
counts have been merely record of
receipts and expenditures with some
recapitulations at stated periods. :"
This is strong criticism, but it is
true, and Westminster will at once in
stall a system of bookkeeping which
will enable it's financial condition, in
the future, to be seen at a glance.
But could not the same criticism be
equally well applied to the other
municipal corporations of the State :?
How many of them do more than keep
a record of receipts and expenditures,
and how much information do such
accounts give ? If there is money be-
ing wasted or uselessly expended it
is practically impossible to tell
where or how.
At the present day large commercial
houses with their systems of book
keeping can tell at a glance their in
come and expenses. This is accom-
plished by exhibits of payments classi-
fed by object, and of receipts classi-
fed by source. They know whether a
pal ocular commodity or branch of
the business is paying or not, and act

SAND.CLAY ROADS.

''The Sum- describing the travels of
Governor Crothers and the Good
Roads Commission emphasize the
fact, that the people of Southern
Maryland and the Eastern Shore do
not want the macadam. road the Com
mission appears determined to force
upon them. This objection, in brief,
is, that it is too expensive, cheaper
road would serve just as well, and
for the same money benefit more peo-
pie. We have always believed that
the level land in those parts of our
State and, the light loads hauled over
the roads did not require the same
character of road-bed as Northern
Central and Western Maryland, and
are glad to notice that others have the
same view. The Road Commission
won't use oyster shells. and is opposed
to gravel roads, what else can be en-
ployed? = {.@S a
An, examination of the map of the
road materials of Maryland issued by
the Geological Survey in 1899 shows
that nature has provided for that sec
ton, in addition to gravel, sand and
clay. Now why not use them? The
nd-clay roads of the South have
passed the experimental stage and are
we'll adapted for light traffic, being less
noisy, less dusty, and more resilient,
than the average macadam road. Over
many of them heavy loads of cot
ton and farm products are hauled
throughout the year. Mr.. E. j.
Watson, in describing them in the
Good Roads Magazine, says they are
"a joy forever to farmers and motor
ists,' and that he rode over 80 foot
speedway tin heavy motor car at
a speed exceeding so miles an hour
with scarcely jar of the machine,
indeed with more satisfaction than
over many of the very best roads in
England and in France"
These roads are not expensive in
comparison with n1acadam,, costing
only from $400 to $500 per mile, the
price being dependent upon the prox-
unity of the clay and sand and the
cost of labor. They are hard and
smooth throughout the year, and the
cost of keeping thcm in repair is
nominal. Then why wouldn't they do
on the Eastern Shore and in Southern
Maryland? Two horses, as rule,
pull the loads in those sections and
for such loads they are as good, if
not better, than macadam. Their
chief recommendation is that for the
cost of one mile of macadam, you can
build from II to 25 miles of sand-clay
roads,
Is there anything wrong with the
geological elements of the sand and
clay of Southern Maryland and the
Eastern Shore that prevents them
from forming good roads? If not,
let the Commission experiment with
mile or so, it won't cost much. If
it won't, who do not the people of
those sections try anG show what can
be done. Such roads are easily built,
and the Agricultural Department at
Washington will give all the informa
tion required to construct them.
The duty of the Road Commission
is to serve the most people at the
least cost. We want good roads, but
natures supplies and the local re-
quirements Of each section should be
taken into consideration, when con-
structing them. 1t is possible, of
course, to build a house OF mahogany,
but we would be very foolish to do
SO with our local wood at hand.
