PUBLIC SCHOOL FINANCES

The daily press has contained sew
eral articles recently bearing upon
financing the public schools of the
State and counties during the coming
three years. The present General As
sembly will be the last until January,
1927, unless called into special SEES
sion by the Governor. 1t is therefore
a matter of vital Importance to the
citizens and taxpayers of Garrett
county that they be more concerned
than ordinary in the various fnan-
cial problems brought before the As
sembly at this time.
The Republican has in recent is
sues reproduced several of these ar
ticles that have thus appeared in the
Baltimore dailies and it is now print
i1g in another column Of today's is
sue an additional article, more in de.
tail, which seeks to show the differ
ences between the amounts the State
Department of Education has reques-
ted for the schools of Garrett county
during the coming three years and
the amounts allowed in the State bud
get as submitted to the General AS
sembly by Governor Richie.
Accordingly the information con-
tanned in that article is published for
the following reasons:
I. That the citizens of Gar
rett county may know definitely
in how so far the differences be-

Christian cheerfulness, and wherever
he went he made friends. In his very
remarkable and peaceful passing he

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Llncolns life was so filled with acts
which serve as examples for all Amer
lean citizens that it is hard to select
those which should be most empha-
sized.
One of his dominating qualities was
hrm adherence to principle, even in
the face of great temptation and pres
sure to play politics" for sake of
temporary advantage. In fact. Lin
coin became the first Republican Pres
ldent because of this characteristic.
In his contest with Douglas for cleo
ton for United States Senator from
Illinois in 1858, Lincoln refused to
compromise upon the subject of sla-
very. HIS party associates urged him
to make some concessions in order
That ne might win the election. Lin
coin refused to sacrifice a principle
1or eXpediency, giving utterance in
his refusal to the famous statement
that mo nation can exist half slave
and half free"
He lost the election and sacrificed
a seat in the United States Senate
But by so doing he aroused the North
TO a realization of the Importance of
the issue of slavery and earned the
confidence of the people to such \
degree that he was nominated for
President and carried the elections in
1860.
Lincoln was an OUTSTANDING, exam
pie of the fact that men who would bo
trusted leaders must know neither
fear nor hypocrisy, must not blow
hot and cold, must follow convictions
rather than expedients.
Llncoln's viewpoint was national.
Early in his public career he took .
hrm stand against sectionalism and
what today is known as the "bIoc,,
system in politics In letter to
Schuyler Colfax in 1859, relative to
the then approaching campaign. Lin
coin said, The point of danger is the
temptation in different localities to
platform for something which would
be popular just there" He then
pointed out how selfish sectional in
terests and the limited viewpoint of
little groups were obstacles in the
way of getting together on funda-
mentals affecting the welfare of all
the people.
Lincoln was a party man who be-
lieved in party government and party
responsibility. He worked with and
within the party organization at all
times. In 1864 group of malcon-
tents became dissatisfied with the
manner in which he was conducting
the war. They attempted to start a
third party with the slogan that the
war was a failure.
Instead of this causing him to
waver or comprimise, it only attach
ed him more closely to his political
organization and emphasized the ne
cessity, at such critical period, of
a responsible government. There is
timely moral in this which cannot
be overestimated at this period of our
national affairs.

IN MEMORIUM

In memory of our dear pupil and
school mate, Robert Jenkins, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Jenkins, who
departed this life February 4, 1924,
aged II years. He leaves to mourn
his loss father, mother and three
brothers, Lloyd, Harold and Erwin.
Little Bobby" as he was generally
called at school, was one among the
most pleasant little fellows one could
find anywhere and will be greatly
missed by his teacher and school
mates.
Dear Robert, we miss you at work and
at play,
And your manly acts that we observed
every day.
Your absence from school has caused
us great pain,
But still we remember our loss is your
great gain.
While you cannot be with us in school
any more
We know your troubles forever are
DER.
And rejoice to know you are happy on
the golden shore.
Oh, that sweet smile we see no more,
And the good morning, teacher" as
you opened the door.
But some day, dear Robert, We'll see
it as before,
With the angels in heaven where it
will vanish no more.

EMILY FSTELLE MILLER

Miss Emily Estelle Miller, formerly

years a resident of Washington, D.

the financial provisions Of this
county for the next three years.
2. That the citizens and tax
payers Of Garrett county may
have an opportunity to study the
facts back of the requests and al
lowances as related to the re-
ouirements of the Act of 1922,
which provides adequate facili-
ties for financing the schools of
our State and county along reas-
enable lines Of securing and hold
ing the better trained teachers
for which they are told the Act
of 1922 was primarily made a
law of the State.
3. The information herein CIV
en- is also published at this time
without disposition to embarrass
anyone, but for the sole purpose
of acquainting the people Of Gar
rett county with the principles
back of financing the public
schools Of this county and State.
With these facts known the tax
payers of Garrett county will
have been informed early enough
to have set forth to their repre-
sentatives in the General Assem-
bly, their preference for a State
school tax of one cent and six
mills spread over a period of
three years for Statewide needs
instead of a county tax rate of
twenty-eight cents for the same
period. With this information
given, the tax payers will then
be prepared to adjust themselves
10 the consequences of the decis-
ion when it is finally arrived at.
a. Finally, the information is
given so that there may be an
appreciation on the part of the
people of Garrett county of the
fact that the Act of 1922 pro-
vides specifically for a gradual
improvement of public schools.
Also that Garrett and similar
counties must levy a local tax
rate of siXty-seven cents for
current expenses, which amount
has been levied during the
last two years. After that the
State practically provides all the
rest of the money needed, accord
ing to the requirements of the
General Assemblies of 1916 and
1922.
The Board of County Commission
ers of this county by a majority vot
has endorsed the position of the Stat
of Education in it's clail
that public education is a function c
the State and not OF the individu5
counties of the State, thereby advC
eating a State tax instead of count
tax for providing and additions
funds necessary for the schools.

CUTTING ACROSS-LOTS

River Falls people take lots of
pride in their lawns, and they don't
like to have them marred by deep
worn paths made by people who are
too lazy to follow the sidewalks.
Every year this matter is called to
the attention of this community, but
doesn't seem to "take." Lawns are
soft, and its about time for the
green grass to start making its
appearance, so now is the time to
take action against the lawn-cross-
ing practice. Property owners might
profitably get together and work up
a good scheme whereby some general
rule against this nuisance could be
made effective. Soft words and
barbed-wire entanglements might

BALLING THE BALLOT

Some people scoffed our editorial
suggestion thae a class in balloting
be held prio. to election dates. We
respectfully refer them to those who
served on the election board April l..
Voters did most everything to those
ballots, some even going so far as to
mark whole set correctly. In few
instances every name on each set of
ballots was marked; others voted the
Democrat ballot with a Republican
candidate written in at the top; or
visa versa; both Eyes" and mo- were
voted on the same referendum ballot;
some evidently felt that eleven"
was a luckier number than "seven"
in voting for national convention
delegates one or two felt
obliged to give their names and adj
dresses; quite few seemed to
think this would be fine opportun-
ity to boost local friends by sending
them to the convention-and so on
through shamefully big list of
spoiled ballots. Marking the ballot
is in reality awfully simple; but still
there is altogether too much of it
that is simply awful.

WARN THE KIDS

Our attention has been called to
the fact that children are forming
the dangerous habit of "hitchIng"
their carts onto the rear of aatomo-
biles, with the idea of getting good
''send-off" when the car starts, then
letting go and enjoying a little coast.
If the driver, unmindful of the
"hitch," shout happen to back his car
up, or if the "hitch," for some reason
or other was unable to let 60, the

lieve that he ought to resign as the penalty of such incompetence. The calm and indifferent manner in which Attorney General Daugherty makes
 a pleasure trip to Florida at time when the department of justice may be called upon to undertake a very delicate and epochal inquiry but adds to the growing conviction that the at torney general also would contribute to the general welfare by giving up his portfolio. It now begins to look as if the facts would be laid bare and any guilty of wrongdoing punished. The main thing, however, and the end without which all the rest of the action would be pointless, is the recovery of the leased properties and their restora- tion to the navy department where they belong, and whence they should not be withdrawn without an act of congress.
