THE WAY 1T USUALLY WORKS

Rancor has become so hot between
California and Arizona in regard &c
the Boulder Canyon Dam bill that
California Congressman threatens to
propose Congressional action to with
draw Arizona's right to statehood.
Seven states are interested IN the
Boulder Dam and the waters OF the
Colorado River, in addition to the
federal government.
The tangle that is developing as
the result of local political factions
in each state seeking to gain advan
tages for themselves, and with anoth
er faction in Congress endeavorine
to use the Boulder Dam project as {
means of putting the government
into business, furnishes perfect IL
lustration OF the confusion and bit
terness which generally results whe1
an attempt is made to inject govern
ment into the field of private enter
prise.
AS is generally the case, develop
ment lags, the investor and indus
tries are discouraged; and in the long
run the taxpayer is loaded with
heavy financial burden as the result
of politics being played at pubic ex
pences.

FOREIGN VISITORS AT STATE
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

Recent visitors at the State De-
partment of Health have included
two Hungarian health officers and
one from Japan-Dr. Francis Hofer,
DR.. Charles Schubert and DR.. Kyoge
Kuroda. DR.. Hofer is district health
officer of section containing thirty
five villages, with duties correspond
ing to those of the Deputy State
Health Officers in Maryland, and his
interest lies especially in rural
health work and in public health ad-
ministration. DR.. Schubert is par
ticularly interested in child hygiene,
in child health conferences, medical
examinations of school children and
in all activities relating to the care
of mothers and children. DR.. Ku-
roda is medical officer of health at
Toxic and during his visit to this
country has made special study OF
organized health activities.
The three visitors were much i'm
pressed by the emphasis laid i'll pub
lie health work in this country, on
preventing disease, on keeping PEG
pie well; on protecting them against
sickness and ill health, and by the
measures that are used for the con
troll of the diseases that spread cas-
lily from person to person, such as
typhoid, scarlet fever, diphtherla and
other communicable diseases. DIR.
Hofer and DR.. Schubert are studying
American methods at Johns Hopkins
School of Hygiene and Public Health.

Nurse of the State Department OF
Health, reports the appointment OF
Miss Yolanda Clawson as. public

GOOD GOVERNMENT DEPENDS
ON INFORMED CITIZENS

A committee of 100 leaders OF
business and industry are formulat-
ing platform looking to continuous
American progress along sound and
constructive lines, which will be sub
mitted to convention of manufac-
turers in Chattanooga next October,
and to both major political parties
at their conventions next year.
Discussing the need of such a ma
tional business platform, John II.
Edgerton, President of the National
Association of Manufacturers, points
out there are now two and one-half
million laws on our statue books;
that additional business methods in
government will save millions OF dol
lars year; that the federal govern
ment is entering further into bust
ness in competition with it's citizens
with plants which pay no taxes,
carry no insurance, borrow money
more cheaply than private lndlvl-
duals and draw on the taxpayers to
make up deficits; that the Unlteo
States spends in one year Tor all
forms of government, eleven billion
dollars; that for every eleven wage
earners there is one government en-
ploye; that while federal taxes nave
been reduced, state and local taxa
ton has risen alarmingly; that 6O,-
OOG new bills were introduced In
state and federal legislatures In
1927, OF which 5000 finally became
laws; that the public is neglectful In
selecting it's public officials who
spend IL billion dollars year; that
in 1895, 80 per cent OF the eligible
voters voted, while in 1920 only ~
per cent voted for president and that
he was elected by majority OF a
minority of eligibiles.
''These are all facts" said Mr.. Ed
eerton, (which. prove the need for a
platform based on fundamental eco
Monies and practical business.
This country has been built to its
commanding position by it's industry,
and industry can operate efficiently
only as it is governed by laws which
are neither archaic nor intolerant oil

COOPERATION

In the last issue of the Conserva'
ton Law, E. Lee LeCOmpte, State
Game Warden, writes: I'VE also
personally request the public's hearty
cooperation with the Department OF
Forestry of Maryland, in helping to
conserve our forests. as the conser-
walton of our forest and wildlife oc-
cupies an important place in the lie
of all of our citizens. Our growing
timber and forests are very essential
for our water supply and furnish
necessary shelter and food for Wild
life. Forest fires are one OF the
most serious menaces to the propa-
CATION and protection of wiidlife in
this State and must be prevented, II
possible"

LOCUST TREES

At this time of year the locust leaf
miner is again making its appear
ance in certain parts of the State
This little worm makes its appear
ance between the layers OF the lea
and eats out the green tissue. Thi'
causes the foliage to turn brown an6
have the appearance Of being scorch,
ed. Inasmuch as the insect makes
its appearance so late in the summer
the damage is less real than appar-
ent and the leaves put out again the
following spring. Only in exception
al cases is it necessary to spray
senate early in the spring as soon as
the leaves appear.
