The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1917-12-28

Do they think that county people are
such fools or idiots that they can't de-
tect the falsity of such argument? Or
can it be that they are hoping that the
cry of Getty domination" will so in
flame county predjudices against city
extension that county people won't
trouble themselves to ascertain the
truth? If they hold such views, isn't
that of itself an insult to county peo-
pie? Isn't it belittlement of the men
tai and moral calibre of county
people to act on the theory that all
county people have bad tempers; that
if YOU once make them mad they will
stay mad regardless of facts, common
sense, or the revelations of truth?
The friends of city extension enter
tain a nobler estimate of county peo-
pie. We believe that the best way to
reach county people is to reason with
them; to appeal to their intelligence;
to rely upon conscience. That is why
we believe that one paragraph of solid
facts, when presented to the resident
of the county, will be worth a page
of false stuff, aimed at their preju-
dices
That is why, with cold facts, we have
here nailed the lie about "city domin-
alton"
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1917-12-28

such and by each county as such. 1t is
perfectly conceivable, therefore, that a
city candidate could secure a majority
of the popular vote in the State by get
ting the solid city vote behind him, and
yet have no more than % votes out of
the 12S in the convention. The coun-
ties, by virtue of the convention sys-
tenn, are in control of the nominating
convention in exactly the same ratio
that they control the Legislature. That
being true, no candidate could be NOM
mated for governor who is obnoxious
to the counties.
Nor can this system be changed I'M
less the counties assent to the change.
The counties control the Legislature;
they control the party machinery OF
both political parties; therefore, no al
iteration in system can be effected I'M
less it is agreeable to the counties.
In the face of this, should the OPP
ponents of city extension be so I'M
blushingly bold as to persist in their
false statements in the county press?
Since it is perfectly patent that city
extension, ipso facto, can in nowise
reduce or alter county control of legls-
lation or State plitics, why should
these people continue to shrek forth
their alarms about Getty domination"
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1917-12-28

bly,. 1t requires $4,000 population to
entitle a county to four delegates.
After the proposed City Extension Bill
detaches from Anne Arundel the area
and people set forth in that bill. it
will leave the county 10000 popula-
ton. That is 10000 more than enough
to retain her four delegates.
That remaining population of 10000
is nearly 10000 in excess of the popu-
lation of Dorchester county, which is
the most populous county on the
Eastern Shore. 1t can be seen, then,
that Anne Arundel can yield up to Bal
timore city that section which logical
ly belongs to the city and still retain
her rank as one of the big and most
influential counties in the State. Her
remaining population will be greater
than that of Frederick and Queen
Anne's counties put together. She will
still be larger than Garrett and Tai
bot.
How much territory, after all, will
be taken from each county? Will the
slice be large or small? Let us exam
inc the figures and see. Baltimore
county has an area of GAG square miles.
The Baltimore county territory which
is embraced in the City Extension Bill
is about 46 square miles. After deduct
ing this pygmy slice from the great
big area of that county, there will still
be left a county territory of 500
square miles.
Does that reduce Baltimore county
to the rank of little county? Why.
even with 46 square miles gone, Balti
more county will still have ITO square
miles more than the whole present
area of Anne Arundel county. She will
hardly miss the 46 miles. Her territory
is so expansive and extensive that she
could spare it without a culver. She
will still be larger than the whole of
Talbot and st. Mary's counties calcu-
lated together. She will be larger than
Howard and Kent.
The bill contemplates taking only
four and one-half square miles from
Anne Arundel. That will leave Anne
Arundel with the immense layout of
425 square miles. Compare these fig
ures with other Maryland counties.
You will then see the ease with which
Anne Arundel can yield up her four
and one-half square miles and still
maintain her rating among the lead
ing counties of the state. She will still
be as large as all of Howard county
plus half of Kent She will still be one
of Maryland's biggest counties.

Neither Size Nor Political Standing
of Counties Will be Reduced

Those who are trying to defeat the
city extension movement are persist
emily putting up sad and sorroWful
wall about Baltimore and Anne Arun-
del counties being stripped and rob-
bed unmercifullyy under the Annexa-
ton Act.
These walls are absolute hypocrisy.
Any honest study of the facts will
show the folly of such tears. Both
counties can yfelld up to the city the
little which the city asks and still
maintain their pre-eminent position in
comparison with the other counties of
the State.
Don't let anybody blind you into the
belief that either county is being deep
ly or imjuriously cut. 1t matters not
from what angle the problem may be
studied, the revelations of the study
itself will convince anybody that the
proposed areas can very justly be add
ed to Baltimore city without doing eth
er county any harm.
Let us take up each item of objec-
ton, as raised by the opponents of city
extension, and see for ourselves what
the facts and figures disclose.
The loss of area and the consequent
loss of population will not lose to eth
er county any of it's quota of represen-
tation in the Maryland General Assem-
bly,.
Baltimore county has six delegates.
Under the law, county is required to
have a population of $4,000 in order to
be represented by six delegates. Balti-
more county will have population
of over rs, 900 after the proposed annex
area has passed over to Baltimore city.
AS a consequence, she will retain her
six delegates.
Even after city extension has absorb
ed part of her area, Baltimore coun-
ty will still be the most populous coun-
ty in the State. Allegany county, even
including the city of Cumberland, has
only $4,000 population. Baltimore coun-
ty. therefore, after city extension, will
have enough people to make her equal
to the biggest county in the tSate, with
a surplus sufficiently large to more
than equal the population of Calvert
county. Her population of $4,000 will
be greater than the combined popula-
ton of all the Southern Maryland coun-
ties. She will still be as large as
Cecil, Kent, Caroline and Queen Annes
counties put together.
How about Anne Arundel county?
At the present time Anne Arundel has
four delegates in the General Assem-
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1917-07-27
ADMINISTRATION MEASURE is
HARDLY RECOGNIZED AFTER
FIVE WEEKS IN SENATE
FINAL VOTE STOOD 81 TO 6
Minimum Price of $500 a 6usheI 10
Fixed On Wheat-Prohi Plan
Sticks-Hopes To Have Bill
Before President Soon.

Washington. The administration
food control bill, virtually rewritten
after five weeks bitter contest, finally
passed by the senate, 81 to six. Con-
ferees from house and senate are
working on the measure, and leaders
are hopeful the measure may be in
the presidents hands in a few days.
AS revamped, the bill gives the pres
ident authority over foods, feeds and
fuels, the latter including kerosene
and gasoline; provides for administra-
tion by food board of three members
instead of an Individual; authorizes
federal fixing of coal prices, requisi-
tioning and operation of mines and
authorizes a minimum guaranteed
price of not less than 50 per bushel
for wheat at primary markets. The
senate prohibition sections, prohibit
ing the manufacture of distilled bever-
ages during the war and directing the
president to buy all distilled spirits in
bond, was substituted for the house
"bone dry provision and will be one
subject of difficulty in conference.
Senators voting against the bill
were: France, Maryland; Hardwick,
Georgia; Penrose, Pennsylvania; Reed.
Missouri; Sherman, Illinois, and Suth-
erland, West Virginia.
On final vote the senate refused,
so to %, to place the bills administra-
tion in the hands of an individual. Sem
ators understood the administration
would endeavor to have the conferees
substitute the original house provis-
ion for single administrator. This
will be another source of conference
trouble.
Appropriation in the house bill of
s150,00O,00O was left unchanged by
the senate, which added an appropria-
tion of $4,000, 900, however, for fed
eral purchases and sale of soda nj
trates for fertilizer.
Another important senate addition
to the bill provides for joint congress
sional committee to supervise war ex-
penditures. 1t was proposed by SEN
ator Owen, a Democrat, and fncorpor-
ated by vote of SO to 81, several 9TH
er Democrats voting with the solid re.
publican membership.
The senate also added provisions
against boarding of foodstuffs and for
regulation of grain exchanges, author
izing the president to close them If
necessary to stop speculation in fu.
lures.

COUNCIL OF SOLDIERS AMI
WoRKMEN's DELEGATES VOTE
FULL POWERS TO PREMIER.
TO ESTABLISH REAL ORDER
Premier kerensIy Selected by Heavy
Vote to Reorganize Home Forces
Soldiers Take Heart After
Hearing Of Selection.

Petrograd.-The council of soldiers
and workmen's delegates and peasants
of all Russia voted, after an all-night
session, to grant the government of
Premier Kerensky unlimited powers
under the title, government of ma
tional safety" for the re-establishment
of public order, both at the front and
at home.
The Russians attacked the Germans
near Krevo and Wilma, north of the
Pinsk marshes, and penetrated the
Teuton lines for a distance of two
miles, according to an official an.
nouncement. The Russians captured
more than 1000 Germans. but the de-
velopments of success, the statement
adds, are being jeopardized by the
moral weakness and instability of GER
tain Russian detathments.
Between the rivers Sereth, Stripa
and Zlota Lipa the Austro-Hungarian
continued their offensive, occupying
villages. The chief of the Russian
Divisional staff was killed while re-
establishing order. among the units ON
the east Galician front.
