GRASSHOPPERS DESTROYING
ACRES OF ALFALFA HAY

Grasshoppers which have been doing
considerable damage in Elko and
Washoe counties have made their
appearance in this county in the
Quinn River Valley section, County
Agent ]. w. Wilson reports after a
visit to that vicinity. About thirty
acres have already been destroyed
by the hopping pests, but it is
thought that effective means of
Kidding the valley of them has been
found in the use of poisoned bran,
enough of which has been sent to
the Dan Gabica ranch, where the
most damage is being done, to
cover forty acres of ground. 1t is
said that THE means of destroying
the grasshoppers cost about ten
cents an acre and is one of the
cheapest known.

WEATHER REPORT FOR THE WEEK

Maryland independent. [volume] (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1874-current, 1923-10-26
REPUBLICANS,
DO YOUR DUTY

The time limit for further NOM
nations, except those that might
arise through death or resigna-
ton, having passed, the Repub-
licans in this county are left
with contests only for State, Ju-
dicial, Legislative and Sheriff's
offices.
The Republicans have splendid
and able candidates for these
offices, men fully and highly
qualified; hence, it now becomes
the duty of every Republican in
this county to put his shoulder to
the wheel, give the State and
Judicial candidates a flattering
majority and elect the local
ticket by a similar vote.
Remember, Republicans the
heavy burdens you are bearing
under high taxes, and vote for
Alexander Armstrong and his
running mates on the State
ticket.
Remember, Republicans, that
the newly elected judges will
serve for Is years and that we
have not had a Republican on the
bench since the days of the late
George G. Merrick and ]. Parran
Crane. Remember, that you
have highly qualified candidates
in Messrs. Parran, Ryon and
Mudd, and vote for them.
Remember, that you want to
uphold Alexander Armstrong
when he becomes Governor and
that you can do this by voting
for Messrs. John E. Bardroff
and Robert r. Cooksey.
Remember, too, that you want
the work OF your courts expe-
dited; that you want the crimi-
nal laws of your State and coun-
ty enforced and your county to
stand out as a model for law and
order, and that this can be ac-
complished by the election of
Joseph Hubert Howard for
Sheriff.
Remember, Independents, that
you have in the Republican can
didates all that can be desired
for good, well qualified and ca
pable men, whose past records
have demonstrated that they
will conscientiously and faith
fully execute the duties of the
offices to which they aspire, and
vote for them.

TAXATION AND SCHOOLS.

The political campaign is rap
idly drawing to a close and the
voters should by this time be
thoroughly familiar with the is
sues and able to cast their votes
for the men whose election szsill
mean that they viii be more in
terested in the taxpayers and
the welfare of the State, rather
than in personal advancement.
The taxpayers should appre-
ciate the fact that notwithstand-
ing the State and county tax
rates have both been lowered,
they are paying more taxes than
ever before. What the taxpay-
ers want is a decrease in their
tax bills. 1t means nothing to
them that the tax rates are re-
duced if the assessment is in
creased.
Under the regulation of the
State Tax Commission all real
estate was required to be as
sessed at its actual value. If
this was done in the last assess
ment, what are we to expect at
the next assessment An in
crease, we presume, of more
than its actual value. For ex-
ample, we know of a farm in this
county that was assessed at
$500 under the old assessment,
and under the new assessment
at $21O0, and furthermore, this
property, rather than increasing
in value, has deprecated since
the last assessment. 1t can now
be bought for $500. This is but
one example of how the assessi-
BILE basis was increased which
brought about a decrease in the
tax rate. This, all under the ad-
ministration of Governor Richie.
The taxpayers are the ones who
have suffered; therefore, it is
but logic to bring about change
in the administration of our
State.
The schools, too, have become
a burden upon the taxpayers
through the creation of useless
offices. The taxpayers, our
selves among them, do not OBJ
Jet to spending money for school
purposes if the children are ben
Gifted, but we do not believe the
public school children of this
State have gained any material
benefit, because the increase in
money expended goes to pay
salaries.
We send young women to the
State Normal School to espec-
tally prepare them for teaching,
yet, after they leave there and
begin their work, they have to
have a supervising teacher to
instruct them how to teach.
There is something wrong some
where. In this county practi-
cally every dollar levied for
school purposes goes in salaries
and expenses of school officials,
and the law being mandatory
the County Commissioners were
compelled to levy the money for
salaries. This county, due to
the fact that the Government
operates the Indian Head High
School. is only required to levy
SOC. on the 500 to share in the
equalization fund, yet, this year
the County Commissioners were
compelled, because Of this man
datory provision of the law rela.
ting to salaries, to levy 60c. for
school purposes. The taxpay-
ers must bear the burden and it
Is heavy burden when little or
no practical benefit is derived by
the children.
We need a change in our State
government. We need men who
appreciate what economy in the
operation Of government means.
We believe the best interests of
the people of this State will be
subseryed by the elestion of Al
exander Armstrong as Governor
and a Republican legislature.
