BRAVE LITTLE POCOMOKE.

1t is an ill wind that does not carry
good as we'll as evil in its train. And
so Pocomoke City, may, in time, bless,
not curse, the strong southeast gale
which converted what might other
wise have proved an easily control
liable fire into a destructive conflagra-
ton. In fact, this gritty little East
ern Shore town has done no cursing
or whining at all, and the flames had
scarcely died out before it was brave
ly planning to rise from its ashes big
ger and better than ever before.
Some of us Marylanders have had a
way of considering the Eastern Shore
as more beautiful than progressive,
as so blessed by the gods of Nature
as to be Indifferent to tire voice of en-
terprise. That thought, however, has
prevailed only amng those unfamiliar
with the life of the Eastern Shore
communities, and the GOODNESS and
courage with which Pocomoke City
has faced this tidalwave of flame
must command the admiration of the
people of the whole State. We were
already TO help, and we are still ready
if there is anything we can do, but

emulates John Paul Jones under hea
Wy fire. 1t has no idea of surrender
ing to calamity; it has just begun to
fight.
An old settlement which was at
first called Warehouse Landing and
which, about 1880, was renamed New
Town, it petitioned the Legislature in
1878 to give it the name of the river
on which it stands and to add to It
the claim to be regarded as a CITY
The petition was granted, but in spite

enter, it long ago earned the right to
its city title by its energetic and pro-
gressive characteristics, and it has
twicebefore met the same sort of dis
aster with unhinching strength-once
1888, when it suffered fire loss OF
half million dollars, and again in
1892, when $125,000 worth of proper
ty was destroyed. These repeated ex-
periences justify the authorities and
the property owners in widening their
main thoroughfares, in prohibiting
wooden structures in the city limits
end in providing every possible safe
guard for the future against another
raid by an old enemy.
Pocomoke is likely to suffer from
too much advice in this emergency
rather than from too little. The OPP
Dortunity to rebuild on more modern
lines is stimulating to individual and
community ambition and should be
utilized, so far as is financially pos
sible. If in planning its future ex-
Dert advice and aid are needed. we

supply impetus for any appreciable

narrowly in quiet trading. The dull

Highway Bonds to Swell
Year Operation Expense
Will Enable State to Charge Each
Year with Its Fair Share of Cost
of All Permanent Road Work

Minnesota is paying now for the
roads of yesterday, today and tom
morrow. Funds of 1922 are being used
for many highway improvements
which shout have been made in the
past years and which will serve for
many future years as much or more
than at the present time.
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, in a public statement
yesterday, made plain that to correct
this condition is the main purpose of
the proposal for first state high
way bond issues to be recommended
by the state highway department to
the incoming legislature.
"The recommendation is aimed
solely to give fairer share of high
way benefits for the taxes being paid
now, which can be done only through
the bond method" said Commissioner
Babcock. eve cannot avoid paying
now for road improvements which
should have been made long ago, but
We can justly pass on to future years
a fair portion of permanent highway
betterments many of which will last
for all time"
Officials records show that nearly
1900 miles of grading, some 80 miles
of paving, several expensive bridges
and other lasting improvements took
nearly half or 40 per cent to be more
nearly exact, of the 1922 trunk high.
way construction fund. Highway of.
ficials pointed out that the future
should share in the payment as well as
the benefits.
Commissioner Babcock repeated that
the highway bond recommendations

are in line with lower taxation. with
taxes becoming burdensome, he said,
"there is only greater reason for let
ting the future pay for its share of
highway improvements in proportion
to the use and profit it will derive.
Better roads reduce the cost of farm
transportation and motor vehicle oper-
alton and pay for themselves many
times over. Bonds will provide immed-
late improvements which will stop
big drains on the public pocketbooks-
indirect drains due to inadequate roads
but running into large figures annual
ly. 1t is simple economy. Practical
tests show that possible savings on
gasoline and tires would pay for paw
ing the 7,000-mile trunk system in a
few years and the highway depart
ment is urging that the public put
into good roads only the money or a
part of it which otherwise must be
spent for extra tires and gasoline and
car upkeep items"
The commissioner again pointed
out that bond interest and principal
can be paid only with motor vehicle
tax receipts and federal aid and that
the bond plan will not interfere with

state took over the improvement ano

Harry O'Brien, an unprecedented and
thorough investigator, writing for the
Country Gentlemen, in a recent issue,
referring to the Washington Office of
TIE American Farm Bureau Fedora
Il N, states that days when farmers
complacenly sat back and took what
I'll ey got and were thankful for were
over. Mr.. O'Brien's article refers es-
pecially to the work of the Washing
ton Office of the American Federation
during the closing days of the last
session of Congress, when the most
important action up was the Tariff
Bill which had been fought over for
twenty months, and which, when pre-
sented to the House of Representa-
tives during the last days of the ses-
sion, was unhesitatingly shot back to
the joint committee for revision.
In giving the reason for this action,
Mr.. O'Brien writes as follows:
"The answer is to be found in the
records of the American Farm Bureau
Federation. The farmers of the ma
ton objected to nine million a year
tax placed on them by the potash
duty. They resented the prohibitive
dye schedule, and when Silver Gray,
in charge of the Federal Office at
Washington, asked them to express
their resentment in kilograms to their
representatives, the trick was turned.
Congressman and Senators from farm
constituencies were flooded with tele-
grams couched in most positive terms.
They didn't dare to vote the schedules
as they were phrased by the commit
tee. So with time pressing, and the
Nation wondering, back the measure
went for revision, and when it was
again reported out for vote, it read
as the farmers knew it must read if
they were to get a square deal.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1922-12-21

"The Farm Bureau Federation is
now organized so that they can stand
up in the halls of Legislation and de-
mand, not beg, for their rights. The
Farm Bureau Federation alone can
over night voice the reaction of a mil
lion or more farmers and back up its
contention with kilograms from every
agricultural county.
cit is not the idea of the Fedora
tion to bull-doze Congress. On the
contrary, it tries to function as SER
vice bureau for both Congress and the
farmers back home. Instead of lobby
ing, it uses frankness and publicity to
achieve results, and always tries to
make friends instead Of enemies. Be-
fore it began its work, farm needs
were too often presented by commit
tees of farmers, who, after they had
testified, went back home again and
maybe their needs were smothered in
committee, or tucked away in pigeon
holes and forgotten, but now million
or so farmers can tell what they want,
and then, through their capable repre-
sentatives, stick right on the job un-
til they get it,"
AS result of securing the removal
of tax on potash, the farmers in
the eastern states, where large
amounts of potash are used, were
saved thousands of dollars through
this action effected by the Washington
Office of the Federation. The Mime
sofa Farm Bureau Federation, through
its county organization, is now taking
a vote of their membership on fourteen
state legislative questions and thir-
teen National legislative questions,
most of which will, in all probability,
be up for consideration at the coming
session of the State Legislature and
Congress.
