FOUR AND A HALF
BILLIONS TO RAISE

Why shouldn't women study the tax problem?
1t affects the home vitality. If the proposed sales
tax goes through will have to pay 1 per cent
tax on every article we buy for the home. When
we buy food or clothing, furniture shoes, we will
have to fork over" direct tax on the purchase at
the time we make it. It would be tax on con-
sumption, relieving privilege entirely. Yet many
OF your congressman have listened to the siren song
OF big business propagandists and for this tax
Don't let it be said that women "haven't the
brains" for a study of this kind. AS matter of
fact it is the who haven't. The failure of male
voters, while they ran the government all these
years, to understand properly the tax problem has
led us into the present obsolete and unfair system
The men wouldn't study the problem carefully
They were lazy. They imagined it too dry and diff
fcult. They knew nothing about taxes and the big
interests and politicians put it over on them Of
course am speaking of the majority of men voters
Now that women have the ballot, let us not neg
lect this vital problem.

CALL ON COUNTY SUPT.
 TO STOP RIOT IN SCHOOL

Little Rock, Jan. 5.-Mrs. Jennie Erickson entered upon her duties as county superintendent of schools last Saturday. Her first call for service from a country school was received yesterday. An excited patron of a school about twenty miles from the city called up by phone and asked that she come posthaste to quell an incipient riot. She said that one of the big girls in the school had blacked the teachers eye and that the teacher was laid up in bed for repairs. In the meantime no school was being held. Mrs. Erickson was seriously considering whether she should call out the militia or adopt less strenuous measures to restore harmony to the district.

HAMPSTEAD FARMERS
 WILL GROW FOOD CROPS

Hope, Jan. 5th.-According to the Hampstead county farmers who are going to make real honest to good ness effort to grow food for their families and feed for the livestock on their farms during 1921, it is not too early to make general plans for the home garden. Ground should be broken and ready for the earliest vegetation, Rains and few freezes will help to make the land mellow and fine. It is generally accepted that the present price paid for cot ton is not equal to the cost of pro- duction. If this is true, and there is no doubt about it, how is the farmer going to continue to buy bacon, lard, cannedgoods, potatoes, peas, beans, dried fruits and such other things as are found on the farm tables. If the farmers grow the things needed at home they are not hurt much by the price of cotton for it is a surplus crop. and can live at home and enjoy life while the one crop farmer goes about abusing the cotton speculator. There is no doubting the fact that every farmer who wishes to do so may acquire COW or two, brood SOW, flock of chickens and land for good garden. It is possible to pay all living expenses out of these by products of the farm.

Teachers Salaraies By Schools With
in Election Districts.

With view of giving the informa-
ton, sought by this article, in COM
plete form in reference to the total
amount of teachers salaries for each
Election District as given in the
summary above, the County Superin-
tendent has submitted list of the
schools of the county and of the
name of the teachers in each school,
as well as the amount of salaries that
was being paid or planned to be
paid at the time the report was made
to the State Department of Educa-
ton, which report was made October
20, 1921. From this Appropriated
itemized report given below, with a
scale of salaries provided for teach
ers of elementary schools only, it is
set out that the teachers salaries run
in perfect harmony with the sum-
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1921-12-08

Total number of students ....162
Any one who may desire from the
above information can carry these
calculations to the several districts.
In the above report the total of teach
ers' salaries in the Garrett County
High School is charged in all to Dis
trict No. 7, East Oakland. Omitting
the high school salaries, District No.
Z has a percentage of 1856 instead of
$50 as given in the above report.
The report was highly appreciated
by those present at the meeting, Civ
ing, as it did, an entirely new light
on the ratio existing between tax
revenues raised in the fourteen dis
tricts and expenditures therein for
teachers salaries in those same four
teen districts. The County Superin
tendent was asked to make similar
additional reports upon the county
school system at the next meeting of
the Patrons Club of the two Oakland
schools to be held during the pres
ent month of December.
Approximately two-thirds of the
amount of money necessary for teach
ers' salaries comes from county tax
alton and one-third thereof from the
State funds. Accordingly, those dis
tricts that are providing more than
69.1 per cent through county taxa
ton for teachers salaries are provid-
ing more than the county as a whole
is providing for teachers salaries
while those districts that are provid-
ing less than 69.1 per cent are pro-
viding less for teachers salaries than
the county average.
In consequence of the exposition of
the financial status of the various dis
trlcts with respect to the amount of
money collected for schools and the
amount expended in the several dis
tricts for this purpose, the above ia
bles show exactly what districts pro-
vide sufficient funds for the operation
of her schools and those districts that
do not.

Teachers Salaries by Districts


Total teachers salaries $133, 10000
In comparing the two tables given
above, it was pointed out that two
election districts, No. Ia, West Oak
land, and No. a, Bloomington, are
providing under a 64-cent county tax
more than enough funds to pay the
salaries of the teachers of these two
districts, No. ID, West Oakland, pro-
viding an excess of $11994, and No.
a, Bloomington, $36406, which two
amounts when added to the states
distribution for teachers salaries of
$43,O84.64, makes a grand total of
$43,568.64 that is being distributed
IN the twelve remaining districts for
teachers salaries, which districts do
not provide sufficient funds through
county taxation for the payment of
the salaries of the teachers in those
twelve districts.
The amount that each election dis
trict receives of the state fund Sc
cured from the state tax for schools
of approximately ID cents for teach ..
ers' salaries and that comes from the
excess in Districts No. ID and No. i
are given in the last table hereof.
The percentage, moreover, existing
between amount raised from county
taxation and the amount now being
paid to the teachers in each of the
fourteen election districts, as set
out above in detail, is as follows:

THE SCHOOLS OF GARRETT
County Superintendent Rathbun Fur.
nishes Valuable Data Concerning
Their Operation and Finances

Their Operation and Finances
At the recent meeting of the Pat
rons' Club of the Oakland Grammar
and the Garrett County High schools
which was held in the High School
building and largely attended by the
citizens generally of Oakland and the
community Immediately surrounding
the town, a report was made by Mr..
F. E. Rathbun, County Superintend-
ent in which it was set out in mimeo-
graph form and given to each person
present, the amount of money each
of the fourteen districts of the coun-
ty is providing through county tax
alton towards the financial support
in paying the salaries of the teachers
in each of the same fourteen dis
tricts.
Based upon the amount of taxes
each district is paying through the
county levy as made in April, 1921,
as well as including the same amount
yet to be raised in April, 1922, thru
county taxation for the financial sup
port of the teachers for the current
school year, the report set out the

the election districts under the six
ty-two cent tax rate for teachers
salaries, 81 cents of which has been
levied and is being collected, the re-
naming 81 cents to be levied and col
lected through the next county levy

 eff the man charged with giving the bribe is a member of the Board of Aldermen. what right have you to withhold information as to his iden- tity," MT. Cornell was asked today.
 ''I am not the prosecuting attorney" he replied. T did not set out to prosecute anyone. I am not officially connected with the Board of Alder men or the municipal government ot the city of Bridgeport. I devoted my energies to preventing an attempted wrong. In that I succeeded. If the Board of Aldermen feels that it must or suspects any of them of wrong doing. it is the problem of the Board of Aldermen to work out it's own destiny.
 ''I have no right to disclose any of the information which I have to any one except a proper official. It would be inexcusable for me to give the same to a newspaper before first pre- senting it to a proper offcta1.'
 Unless the Republican aldermen come forward with a formal demand fair to rest upon it's present status. The Republicans do not seem in the least so anxious for the investigation, as their previous assertions indicated, and the Democrats will not go any further unless officially forced.

AMERICAN TOYS HOLD FIELD AGAINST FOREIGN
 MADE CHEAP ARTICLES

American toys on their own merits are holding the field against foreign toys despite the fact that the latter can now be produced so scheaply ac- cording to local toy dealers. A trip about the toy departments of the city revealed the fact that but very few foreign made toys are being handled in this city this year. Nor is this because of a patriotic stand upon the part of the merchants. It is simply because the American toy, made for the American boy or girl comes near CT to satisfying his or her wants and employing their energies than the for eign made one.
 When the war broke out. the great course, in the hands of the Germans and Americans found competing with
 them difficult because they could pro-
 duce so cheaply. When the English
 blockade of necessity cut off the
 course of Americas toys, her own manufacturers were given their op-
 portunity. True, Japan tried to step into the breach made by Germany's forced absence from the field but her toys, while cheap, did not possess even
 the substantial quality of the inex-
 pensive German toy small as that is, and never were a success in this
 The foreign toy is usually of the | small, mechanical kind designed to amuse the child, the American toy is more often of the ve1ocipede or kid energies or of the structural type, which encourages his ingenuity These are the toys appealing more to the boys. For the girls, the American manufa cturer has developed an all most complete reproduction of her
 mothers household effects.
 In the various toy departments about the city there are toy washing machines, vacuum cleaners. all sorts of small but perfectly reproduced cooking utensils, furniture of every kind and wonder of wonders. one store is displaying an electric cooking range that actually bakes.
 The only branch of toy making in | which the Germans still excel is in | the making of the bisoue doll.
 American manufacturers never dis covered the secret of the making of duce doll that goes to sleep per fectly. Their dolls with movea ble 1 eyes invariably did not work right. They have brought out any number of interesting character dolls, rag dolls, and the like, but the beautiful i girl loves most to cuddle and make
 clothes for is the German doll. Of course the most exquisite doll of all still comes from France but these are l always so expensive as to prohibit many of them being displayed. | the city this Christmas than any 1 other kind of foreign toy but at that the number of these is relatively small.
 1 Most dealers report that the busi- | ness in toys this year. early as 1t Is, 1 has been brisk. They attribute this 1 however, to the fact that families will
 stint themselves to make a happJ i Christmas for the children. cutting g down on their gifts to older people.
