PUBLIC CRITICISM A NEEDFUL
WEAPON

SOMEBODY has somewhere said thar
this country needs an army of citizen
critics" 1t does not need a Washing
ton, for our independence IS secured
Eut an army of citizen critics, to keep
the elected officers to their duty-this
Is needed after elections vastly more
than before. 1t is of the very essence
of falsity in popular government, to as
sumo that when a campaign is over, all
is over, and the citizen may go quietly
to sleep at the switch. Agitation is the
only guarantee of purity. There is no
force like popular criticism. A supine,
an Indifferent citizenship is sure to be
msrepresented and maltreated. Mere
''grumbl.ng" is mere nothing-but a
nuisance Every good citizen should,
however, be a PUBLIC critic. Honest
intelligent direct and purposeful criti-
cism is powerful sword. The good
citizen should draw it and fling away
the scabbard. He should strike for the
Ill1lSS III NhlCu ne DtnitNtS anu ut
should strike against the things which
he repudiates. To WHISPER ones COM
plants behind closed doors Is feeble
and irritating. In a popular govern
ment, which means a government OF
THE PEOPLE, what we want is men
who STAND OUT IN THE OPEN and
speak the word of criticism where it
can be heard and weighed. Thus is
public opinion formed and informed, and
thus is the peoples will made known to
officers and legislators. Again We say
that a people, who cannot, or will not,
publicly testify their opinions or pub
licly criticise their affairs, are not a
people fitted for SELF government. They
are only fitted TO BE governed and will
be governed, you may be sure, without
much reference to whether that govern
ment suits them or not Public criti-
cism is the peoples weapon of self
defense. If they do not WELD it, they
need not be surprised at anything that
may come to them in a governmental
way-in local, State or National affairs,

MISLEADING AND DECEPTIVE

THE Court OF Appeals has re-
Gently handed down a decision de-
claring the act of the last Legis-
lature, authorizing a road loan
for Baltimore County, unconsti-
tutional. The Court concludes its
opinion by saying:
Good roads are desirable and
the taxpayers would no doubt
submit to any reasonable increase
OF taxation to secure them; but
no such extensive or costly
scheme o: public improvements as
that provided by this act should
be imposed upon them under a
title SO misleading and deceptive. 3"
We beg to go step further in
commenting on the improved
roads loans for this State, and to
declare that the whole scheme has
been imposed upon the people in
a way that is MISLEADING
AND DECEPTIVE"
In the first place, the thought
full reader will recall that when the
first step in this matter was being
taken, leading to the first loan
the five million dollar loan-the
State administration repeatedly
and so,emnly assured the people
that THIS GREAT WORK
COULD AND SHOULD BE
DONE WITHOUT ONE CENT
OF INCREASE IN THE STATE
TAN RATE. The STATE TAX
RATE HAS DOUBLED in the
last five years, chiefly due to spec
ial additions to that rate In order
to provide for the "noad work"
and some of the very wisest and
strongest hnanciers in Maryland
have lately declared to us theil
judgment that the State tax rate
will inevitably go to fifty cents in
the near future, i: present policies
prevail. That would be TREB
LING THE STATE TAX RATE
in few years; and we believe the
people never contemplated an,
such result and are not content TIC
stand for such a result.
In the second place, this great
expensive road improvement
scheme was undertaken under the
guise OF great public service tc
tie farmers. They were gathered

That we are pleased to publish every

That sometimes the postal card you
send is accidentally slipped into the
folds of newspaper when it is placed
in our mail box and it may be several
days before we find the item, and by
that time the paper has been printed

1t frequently occurs that items are

impossible for us to get them in type
because of lack of time and help.
We appreciate every favor shown US
and try to reciprocate in every case,
but we can't please everybody.
The Journal is printed every

commode others, it is absolutely neces-
sary that we meet our time for closing

This is the reason why items are
