Marked Gain in Finances.

The nations finances have shown
marked improvement during the past
year. The total ordinary receipts Of
Sc .G9a. 900 600 for the fiscal year 1920
exceeded those for 1919 by $15A2O00-
600. while the total net ordinary cX-
prndlturcs decreased from $l85li0O0,-
600 10 G.4O3.OOO.OOO. The gross public
debt which reached its highest point
on Aug. 81. 1919, when II was $2G59G
O0O. 600, had dropped on Nov 30. 1920.
to S24.l75. 600 600 There also has been
a marked decrease IN holdings Of gov
eminent war securities by the banking
institutions Of the country, MS well as
the amount Of bills held by the federal
reserve banks secured by government
war obligations
This fortunate result Las relieved
the bnnks and loft them frecr TO finance
the needs OF agriculture, industry and
commerce. IT has been due in large
part TO the reduction Of the public
debt especially Of the floating debt
but more particularly to the improved
distribution of government securities
among permanent investors. The ces-
sation of the governments borrowings
except through short term certificates
Of Indebtedness has been matter Of
great consequence TO the people of the
country at large, as well as to the
holders Of liberty bonds and Victory
notes, and has had an important bear
ing on the matter of effective credit
control
The year has been characterized by the
withdrawal Of the treasury
from the domestic credit market and
from a position of dominant influence 10
that market. The future course will nee
cssarily depend upon the extent to which
economies are practiced and upon the
burdens placed upon the treasury, as well
as upon Industrial development and the
maintenance of tax receipts at n suf-
nCicutly high level.

GOOD SCHOOLS AND GOOD ROADS
ARE WORTH THE COST

The two things in which rural
taxpayers are most deeply inter
. ested. and all rural residents as
we'll, are roads and schools.
Nearly every county in the State
has asked the Legislature for
county bond issues for schools.
and the loans are either enlarged
to build roads or highway con
struction money is to be raised
otherwise.
Some peculiar phases have de-
veloped. In Charles county the
need of new school buildings and
equipment is unquestioned, but
it is asked what is the use OF fur
nishing them when the roads can
not be used? And to embark on
both road building and school
building program would cause
taxes TO jump.
In Worcester it is proposed to
concentrate the schools iii the
bigger towns. and to make an
ambitious work OF consolidation.
At once comes an argument, un-
assailablc in many respects, for
the maintenance of rural elemen-
tary schools. We are believers in
States rights, which is local self
government reduced to. terms OF
the community. and on what
theory should a neighborhood
that needs rural elementary
school be deprived of it?
In Frederick aud other places
the question of present-day costs
of construction is stressed The
Union Bridge Business Mems
Association wrote Senator r.
Smith Snader in advocacy of the
proposed 100000 school and
road loan for Carroll, and the

terial and construction it would
mean a debt OF million dollars.

decision as TO what would be best
at this time. As stated above,
