Governor Pinchot's Letter to Mr..
DAVID A. ROBB
Lawyer and State Senator from
Allegany County
From "The Marylander. "

From "The Marylander."
A real lawyer, in all that is best in
any Interpretation of that greatly
abused and much misunderstood word.
Mr. Robb is not only a most excellent
lawyer, but is also a scholarly and
thoroughly conscientious gentleman.
A man of high principle, he is a loyal
and patriotic citizen and ranks easily
as one Of the most capable men at the
bar, especially in Western Maryland
and in his home town, Cumberland
where his standing IS of the highest
sort, in all that goes to make up the
best citizenship Of that enterprising
town. And the writer, who has known
Mr.. Robb in an intimate way, ever
since he was admitted to the bar, is
only bearing witness to what other
intimates say of him, when he puts
these words down in ink, and sends
them to the printer for publication in
The Marylander.
Mr. Robb is not only a frst-class
lawyer, he is also a irst-class busi-
ness man, and his career in business
has been as equally honorable and eff
ficient as his career at the bar, where
he has enjoyed a large and lucrative
practice for several years. In fact
he is now ranked as one of the leaders
in his profession in Western Mary
land, and he is also well known in the
courts of Baltimore, in the Court of
Appeals at Annapolis and in the
courts of many of the counties of the
State.
He is also a politician Of more than
the usual skill and ability, in the best
sense Of the word-not in the tricky,
shady sense of that much misused
word, but in the real definite con-
structive sense-a politician who is
interested in the real welfare of the
people and to whom the public inter
est is paramount to any mere consid-
erations of partisan eXpediency.
AS State Senator from Allegany
county in the trying and nerve-rack-
ing sessions Of 1922-24 Mr.. Robb was
recognized by all as one of the most
competent and careful as well as one
of the most industrious members of
that body. The partisan element was
largely absent from both these ses-
sions and business considerations pre-
vailed to the exclusion of all extrane-
Gus matters, and no member of the
Upper House of the General Assem-
bly,, during all the weeks Of both these
memorable sessions showed a great
er desire to enact legislation for the
benefit Of the people at large than
this capable, and at times, eloquent
young lawyer from Cumberland. In
fact, he is one of the few men who
have served in the General Assembly
in recent years whose vision extended
beyond the confines of his own coun-
ty and looked upon himself as the
representative of the people Of the en-

GOVERNOR CLIFFORD PINCHOT EXPLAINS GIANT
POWER in LETTER TO CONGRESSMAN zIHLMAN
Pennsy Executive Tells of Great Benefits Which Will
BE Derived Under the Plan for Supplying Electric Energy
For Every Purpose In Abundance and Cheaper Rates.

The following correspondence from
Governor Clifford Pinchot of Pennsyl.
vania to The Republican, enclosing
copy of a letter on "Giant Power
submitted by the Governor to Con-
gresham Frederick n. Zihlman of the
Sixth Maryland District, is self-ex-
planatory and will be of interest at
the present time when the matter un-
der consideration is very pertinent,
and, as the Governor says, "almost
a national issue" Gov. Pinchot's let
ters read as follows:
Harrisburg, Pa, July 16, 1925.
Editor The Republican,
Oakland, Md:
Dear Sir:-Enclosed find copy of
letter on Giant Power | am today
sending the Congressional representa-
tive from your district, Mr.. Frederick
N. Zihlman.
Giant Power is a plan which we
have set on foot in Pennsylvania that
has for its purpose the ending of dis
elimination by electric companies
against the farmer and the small con-
sumer of power. 1t is nationwide in
its application and if made effective.
it will insure cheaper and more cleo
tricity throughout the country. with
out favoring the big user at the ex-
pense of the little one, as is the case
at present.
The time has come when the public
must be taken into consideration by
the nationwide electric monopoly that
is being formed, and Giant Power
proposes that the people themselves
shall regulate this gigantic monopoly
instead of permitting it to take a
stranglehold on our national life.
You are at liberty to publish the
enclosed letter to your congressman
in your edition of Monday, July 20. or
any time thereafter. Giant Power
will, in the near future, be live ma
tional issue and l am taking this
means Of informing your representa-
tive in Congress of its scope and it's
undoubted benefit to the people of
your district.
Sincerely yours,
CLIFFORD PINCHOT,
Governor of Pennsylvania.

Residents Flock To
Beach In Search
of rum

OCEAN CITY, N. j., April
1O.-Policemen on the boa d-
walk have been seeing suspic-
ious-looking boxes come ashore.
With Chief johnson and Cap
tain Marshall they made an
investigation and found about
ten cases of Scotch whiskey
within a few blocks. The cases
were turned over to Captain
Smith, of the Coast Guard
station.
Captain Smith and his men
secured the beach and found
empty cases which almost cover
ed the beach for a distance of
nearly a mile. Residents flock
ed to the beach and searched
for the rum, many obtaining a
number of bottles.
Local Coast Guards supposed
that rum runner was in flight
from Government boats and,
desiring to escape, struck a bar
off this city. In efforts to get
off the crew possibly threw
number of cases of the whiskey
overheard.

Marks
SENT HERE IN
FLOODS
Investors Believe Uncle Sam
Will Cash Them Under
New Berlin Policy

German marks representing a
face. value of millions of dollars
are pouring into the Department
of Commerce today from all Cacts
of the United States.
Secretary Hoover's department
has been asked to cash a pile Of
marks which if taken at par would
be sufficient to finance the Amer
lean, German, British and French
governments for years to come.
The announcement that Germany
would redeem marks at the rate
Of 600, 900 900, 900 to the reichs-
mark on or before June was
misinterpreted by thousands of in
yestors in this outlawed currency
to mean that they would be cashcd
by the American Government.
Americans Lose Heavily.
"The American people have lost
vast sums specializing in German
marks, and many of them seem
wholly unable to understand just
what has happened" a department
financial expert told the Interna-
tional News Service.
1.-THE department has been flooded
with requests to exchange amounts
varying from one thousand to mil
lions of marks.
None seems to comprehend that
mark can be worth as little as
one-forty.billionth of a cent. But
such is the case.
1T would not pay anyone to pre-
sent paper markS to the German
Reichsbank for redemption unless
81
O00."
Four trillion marks are worth
about a dollar exchange value-in
1918 a bundle of that dimensions
would have brought many billions
of dollars.
~ Not Worth Cost.
Some officials doubted that the
redemption value of marks, unless
of tremendously large denomina-
tions, would equal the express of
postage required to carry them to
Germany.
The department has information
that the number of paper marks
sold in this country was simply
stupendous.
A figure representing the num-
Der would contain SO many ciphers
as to be incomprehensible, accord
ing to experts.
Most of the buying was in 1920
and 1921 when the exchange was
from to 6 cents.
At that time it was anticipated
nv spectators that marks eventual
IV would go to par and that the
cleanup would be tremendous.
German marks were sent to the
limited States literally by the ship
load and were offered for sale
both as souvenirs and for specu-
lative purposes. III
Officials said that the flood prob
ably was increased by the counter
feiting of billions of marks in this
country and abroad.
