the necessary number of States.

GOVERNMENTAL COST HIGH
IN MARYLAND

Although the census for 1910
showed Maryland ranking twen-
ty ninth in population, figures
made public by the Census Bureau
showed that in 1919 only II
States paid a greater amount for
governmental costs. When the
per capita Icost of running the
State is considered only 13 States
paid at a higher rate than Mary
land.
The figures show the total gov
ernmental cost in Maryland as
1852, 239 and the total govern
mental cost for each person in
the State as $S.43. The cost of
maint aiming the general depart
ments in the State was given as
SO, 242, 321. In the total amount
expended for interest Maryland
ranked fifth, with a total of ST.
073, 422. In the burden which
the payment for interest put
upon every person in the State
of Maryland, ranked second,
with a total of 78 cents. New
York alone exceeded this
amount.
These are some Of the out
standing comparisons as to the
cost of government in Maryland.
What population rank the State
will take for the census of 1917
has not yet been made known,
but it is not fe 1t that it will bet
ter it's 1910 position.
1t is to be noted, however,
that considerable of the cost of
government in Maryland is at
tributed to maintenance and
building of highways. In this
particular the State ranks tenth.
In the excess of governmental
cost over the total revenues and
receipts, ranks sixth .with total
of S761, 260, In the majority of
the States there is no deficit as
shown in Maryland, usually the
total Governmental cost payments
being less than the total rev.
enues and receipts.
In the per capita for total gov
ernmental cost, Maryland ranks
fourteenth with total of $8.43
Analyzed this total in cost t.shows
the state ranking second in cost
to each person for interest paid
on state debt and fourth in the
amount the cost of government
exceeded the total revenues and
receipts for each person, the to-
tai being SIS cents.
Maryland stood twenty fifth
in the per capita cost of main
tanning the schools with a total
of$1.68.
Only three other States have
a greater gross debt than has
Maryland, the total Of which is
given as $29, 439, 376. In the per
capita debt only three other
States exceed Maryland's total
of s21.3O. In the net debt only
four other States have a greater
total than Maryland's 500, 1872
635.
The total State debt does not look
so cad when it is analyzed, for
in Maryland the expenditure flor
good roads has been high.
Maryland ranks third in this re-
spect with SIS, CTS, 900.
In the assessed valuation of all
property the State ranked nine
teen, with a total of 81, 1872, 944,-
923.

The people are with Tom Terral in this fight and the political boodsuckers, trcksters rngsters and professional politicians with the RING candl- dates Pace Davis McQuistion- McCarroll- Reaves- Calvert Machine are back of Powell. Little ROCK Board of Commerce. Banks, Insurance Companies Corporations and Big Interests are back ot Mckae' THE PEOPLE are back of Tom Terral Mr. Voter which crowd appeals to you?
 Tom Terral is the only candidate for Governor who has had the Nerve, Courage and Backbone to name the parties on the different Boards and Com missions who have been robbing the people of thelf revenue and plunging the state deeper and deeper into debt All the other candidates have been poltl- cal towards when it came to exposing the fellows who are committing these wrongs against the tax ridden people,
 The ringleaders of all the Boards and Commis- sons are fighting Terral. With them 1t IS just any body to defeat Terra. They know by eXperence athev can't control and dictate to him. They know Tom Terrals election will choke them loose from the public teat."
 When elected Tom Terral will go into the Cover nor's office with NO clique special few controlling his actions and dictatng to him what he shall or shall not do He will be the actual Governor of the whole people.
 VICTORY IS CERTAIN! In Tom Terrals speech he says: The People Shall Know the Truth.

Compare his speech with the speeches of other can didates Tom Terral puts his finger on grave wrongs being committed by these grafters hghbinders and political bloodsuckers and states he will oust every single one of them when he becomes Governor Ter ra will appoint men of integrity, ability and exper ence to the important positions of state government Tom Terral is the man for the people.
 To serve corporations, insurance companies special interests and political machines McRae or Powell would be better qualified since they are tied to these interests.
 Mr. Voter do you know that Powell and McRae are special attorneys for Road Districts? Do you know the politicians and moneyed interests are back ing them? Tell me. how they serve TWO MAST FRS at the same time. It just can't be done.
 TOM TERRAL IS THE PEOPLES CHOICE TO DEFEAT MACHINE RULE. Hundreds of letters telegrams and telephone calls are pouring into Ter rals Headquarters telling of his speech taking like wdfire in every section of the state. Nothing less than LANDSLIDE is predicted for Terral by the best infrmed men in the state
 Friends, BE ACTIVE till the LAST HOUR The fight is It is not victory for Terral but a VICTORY for GOOD GOVERNMENT. During Tom Terrals administration the taxridden people will safe sane and business administration and state government run in the interest of those who pay taxes.

SCHOOLS AND THE
 SHIFTING POPULATION

The decrease of population In many rural communities which is being revealed by the cen sus returns is generally attrib-
 uted to industry drawing men and women to many of the
 cities and towns. But r. r. Claxton United States commis-
 sioner of education says that
 although it is true that the
 large development of indus
 trial centers has made inroads into the rural communities an investigation would disclose the fact that many people are leaving the rural sections for the purpose of obtaining better educational facilities for their children.
 It is an undisputed fact,
 Prof. Claxton says, that where the schools are made better in the rural sections they have a tendency to hold people on the farms. He pointed out that 18,000 elementary schools in
 the United States did not open
 last year on account of teach CTS. And to avoid the closing of other schools there were employed during the last school year between 1000 and 50,000 teachers who had not stood the required examin- ations.
 Professor Claxton made the striking statement that if all the persons who have ever been graduated in the normal and teacher training courses in the normals and colleges of this country since the first nor nal was established in 1886 were alive today they would be adequate to supply the present demand for teachers. There is now, he said, need for 100,- 900 new teachers for elemen- tary schools and 10000 for high schools.

Man Who Struggled In Youth With The
Most Abject Poverty Becomes Donar OF
S1OO000,O0O Christmas Gift In 1919
nm Alinr lAiM Inn

The man who gave TO tho world
a Christmas present of S1o0,ooo,o 600
created II new high standard for
these persons of large fortune who,
for the public veal, seek intelligcntly
to diyest themselves of much Of their
accumulated millions before death.
He is the man who in 1856, when
q youth struggling with poverty,
was proud OF the fact that within
the period OF one year he gave
twenty cents to the cause of foreign
missions, fifty to the Mite Society
and twelve cents to the Five Points
Mission, in New York.
And Mr.. Rockefeller was and is
10 less proud of the fact that in
those days Of moagre income and
q light purse he scrupulously kept
in his little ledger an account Of
his revenues and ali his expenditures,
Including his small bencficences.
Mr.. Rockefeller today probably
could not tell, even If he would,
the amount Of his fortune within
many millions. II is doubtful il lie
could APPROXIMATE within less than
81 900 0o0 or $1,000 900 tho actual ag-
grcgate sum of all his public gifts
though the best attainabe estimate
places the amount at from $4,000 ,000
to sIlj 100000. But in those days
OF his early struggle he made it a
point To know his assets and his LA.

Is two years ago, John d. Rookie
feler Sr. made q notable talk TO
the Young Mems Bible class Of the
Fourth Avenue Baptist church. OF
which the Rev. w. II. p. Faunce
was then the pastor. Much that
he then said assumes a PECULIARLY
dramatic interest today atfording a
striking contrast between his later
day munficence and his small be-
ginnings in philanthrophy as dcscrib
ed in his own language. Ills plain.
holncly talk 10 this class OF young
men throws a flood Of light, more
over, upon the habits and the max
inns OF this extraordinary man who
can crown a long series OF princely
gifts with single donation large
enough for a nations ransom.
Addressing the young men of the
Billie Glass on the evening Of March
27lS97, Mr.. Rockefeller said:
