To the Editor Of The Republican
That our undemocratic methods Of
government are largely responsible
for the spread of socialism and radi-
calism not many will deny. That gov
eminent extravaganza and profiteer-
ing are potent causes of unrest and
dissatisfaction, generally, are very
readily admitted. That to increase
taxation either by direct taxes or by
bonds for large public expenditures
while war prices prevail, is unwise
and unbusinesslike certainly will not
be seriously disputed
Some new school buildings in Gar
rett county are evidently needed Ow-
ing to the present high cost of living
teachers salaries are inadequate. but
if superfuous high sala.ied officers
were eliminated and ether reforms
made in school matters, there should
be ample funds for building and in
creasing salaries and also keeping all
the schools open for a reasonable time.
Our Ubiquitous school law is partly
responsible for the shortage of teach
ers; it is also accountable, in large
part, for our present high taxes. Our
schools cost about four times what
they did ten years ago; yet children of
our rural schools, at least, are not
better advanced in the fundamentals
of an education than they were at that
time.
Just recently a number of duly
elected Representatives in the State
of New York We're deprived of their
seats at Albany because they were
socialists. Suppose the other states
do likewise or similarly, then we
should soon see socialism prevail
throughout the nation.
Did not much Of our elaborate, COM
| plicated, expensive and Prussianized
school system of Maryland come by
way Of New York, through an educa-
| tional propaganda, to Annap0lis and
there enacted into law by bungling
politicians
Who should know better about
school conditions, employment of the
teachers and other requirements in
Garrett county, county school board
| and superintendent chosen by the tax
payers or by one or more political
schemers at Annapolis or Baltimore,
some two hundred miles distant?
Down with arbitrary rule! Let all
/ honest, decent people. get down to
true democratic principles. Let our
motto be this time: Retrench! Re

1.-THE above heading was written by
the editor of The Republican, not with
the intention of bringing about con-
troversy with our correspondent, who
is man well versed, generally, in
public matters and one whom we have
the highest respect for, but for the
purpose, in brief manner, to con-
dsase his thoughts as set out below
and as comment on certain parts
thereof. We are also of the opinion
that our correspondent is in error
when he makes the bare statement
that it costs four times as much now
to operate the schools as it did ten
years ago. The correspondent will
probably think we are trying to create
public opinion against his argument
when we state that he is now getting
more than four times as much for the
eggs that his hens lay than he did ten
years ago, but we are not. We are
only making a comparative statement
that costs cannot be computed on a
basis that obtained ten years ago. or
even five years ago

required that he travel about 10000

THE MINERS SIDE.

The United Mine Workers of Amer
lea have issued a pamphlet giving their
side of the controversy. A careful
perusal Of the pamphlet will convince
the unprecedented mind that the miner
is not getting the returns he should.
However, there will not be agreement
to the claim that the miners should be
assured of work for thirty hours a
week at a wage for such service that will
enable him to live rs he should. The
miner has no right to expect as much
pay for a 30 hour week as others get
for a Al or a 4S hour week. If there
is not a demand for reasonably steady
employment of all the miners it is ap-
parent there are too many miners, and
some Of them ought to seek other en-
ployment.
This pamphlet says that on the
average the miner loses 100 working
days per year, or about one-third.
There ARE few mechanics or working
men who can afford to lose so much
time, but the people should not be
panalized because there is not steady
| demand for their services. II there
! were so many miners last year that
much idleness resulted, the situation
will not be improved unless the mum
Der of miners is decreased.

wages. He should get rs much as
