DEFICIT BECOMES SURPLUS

A treasury surplus is usually looked
upon by Washington as something ad-
vantageous, although to most Iaymen
it is a thing which requires some ex-
PLANTATION. Last summer President
Coolidge was informed by the Direc-
tor of the Bureau of the Budget that
there would probably be deficit in
the expenditures over the current re-
ceipts of something like $100,000,O00.
This was a bookkeeping estimate, and
now it is believed not only that the
forecast "defcit' will be wiped out,
but also that the receipts this fiscal
year will be so large as to return to
the Treasury a surplus of something
like $143,000,000. In brief this is the
message now sent to the country thru
the agency of the semi annual bust
ness meeting of the Government adj
dressed by President Coolidge.
Such a radical change in the esti-
mates, made within brief period of
q 1SW IIlOHGIo, ISSuIIo lIOlll GllS 1elCI
that the business of the country has
been more prosperous than was at
first believed possible. The returns
from income taxes during the next
five months will be in excess of pre-
vious anticipations. The Treasury
will collect returns on March Is and
again on June Is, both of which will
be included in the receipts of the Gov
ernment's current fiscal year. These
returns will be based upon the in
comes of persons and businesses of
the county during the calendar year
1928. Therefore the enhanced pros
perity of the country rather than any
fundamental change in the estimates
of the Bureau Of the Budget wipes out
the previously expected deficit and
substitutes for it a comfortable sur
plus.
President Coolidge is perfectly cor
rect, however, in warning Congress
that, despite this more optimistic
showing of the Treasury, there must
be no extravaganza in the appropria-
tons now under consideration. The
Congress could yet authorize expen-
ditures which would wipe away the
anticipated surplus and leave ode
pleted Treasury for the incoming ad-
ministration. The United States is
still deeply concerned in the problem
of retiring the inheritances of 1928.

Mr.. McClelland Clayton, who has
been confined to his home by illness,
is able to be about again.
An ice sled, propelled by large
sail was seen on the lake Sunday.
No services were held at the NJ
E. church last Sunday due to the eX-
cavation for the new basement. Ser

prevented by the continued cold
weather.
A sister of Mrs. John Brenneman,

Mrs. burst removed from Garrett
county to her late home, where she
had been a resident for rs years. She
was buried Monday in Underwood
cemetery, the Rev. Fultz, U. B. min
lister, Loeb Lynn, officiating.
We learn with regret the death of
Mrs. Mary Richie Post, who died at
her home in Uniontown, Pa. Mrs.
Post was a summer resident of the
Park for many years, taking great
pride in the up-keep and identifying
of her home. She will be greatly
missed by her host of friends.
Cutting of ice is still in progress
at the lake.
Mr.. Robert Tassie and family will
move from the Park about the first
of April. Mr.. Tassie has not only
made an excellent farm superinten-
dent, but both he and Mrs. Tassie
have those qualities which have en-
deared them to their host of friends.
We regret their departure.

Hutchinson have been i'll at their ap
partments in Parkersburg, West Va.
The building used by Mr.. Scott
White as shoe repair shop in Loeb

shop.
A friend of ours remarked the 9TH
er day, when his attention was called
to the fact that the ground hog GER
tainly saw his shadow, wouldn't we
have d. fine weather if it was made
by a ground hog?" While we don't
believe much in signs, yet, if this
cold snap continues we will have a
sneaking idea that perhaps the old
hog did have something to do with
it.
Mrs. Knease is spending the winter

MT. LAKE PARK.
A CASE FOR REJOICING.

A letter from Superintendent Baker
published in last Thursdays issue Of
The Republican carries the cheering
news that he is constantly dealing
with different groups to come to the
Park, trying to build up the program
to larger proportions and that the
1929 program is already larger than it
has been for years.
Every citizen here, whether perma-
nent or summer resident, will rejoice.
The letter goes on to state that the
Park is not sold nor nearly sold. Such
information as the paper published
was obtained from correspondence
read by the writer, which stated that a
deal was pending.
However, whether the Park changes
ownership or not, is not so important
to residents.
The chief concern is whether the
policy and plans for the future will
make for a bigger and better resort
one in keeping with the natural beau
ty of the surroundings.
And this cannot be brought about
by the activity of the Park Associa-
ton itself. Of cours it Yields a
great influence, but the responsibility
is not alone on its shoulders.
The other property owners must
realize that they must join whole
heartedly in any plan or movement
for betterment of conditions. They
must realize, IS Drummond said,
property has its duties as well as its
rights"
Superintendent Baker further says
that Give thousand people spending
their summers in Garrett county
would greatly help the whole of West
ern Maryland. And they can be
brought here with publicity. Climate,
water and sun we have for a success
full summer resort, but more real,
broad-gauge boosters are needed"
All will readily agree with the SEN
timents thus expressed by Mr.. Baker.
But we would go further and say
that under a proper policy of better
ment, it is entirely possible to have
not only five thousand, but ten thous-
and people spend their summers with
us and with proper means of enter
tainment their stay can be prolonged
until late in the fall.
We have in mind a number of
''broad-gauge boosters" but they must
be encouraged by some show of activ-
ity and energy on our part, not only
looking to a successful season of a
few weeks duration in midsummer,
but in the early summer and fail
months Of the year.
1t is true that the majority of
property owners, including the Asso-
citation, are primarily interested in
summer success, but let US again
quote property has it's duties as well
as it's rights"
We cannot agree with some that we
should let well enough alone. No one,
with any ambition at all, is satisfied
to stand still, or, worse, go backward.
We again insist that the matters we
have mentioned in this series of arti-
cles in this column, or at least some
of them, should be done both by us

citation if we are to join the procession
of successful, wide-awake communi-
ties.
Mark Twain said, cit requires TWEEN
ty years to get an idea fixed in the
human mind.
We don't want to wait that long for
better conditions at the Park, nor dc
we expect to, but the point is that
even if improvements are slow in COM
ing, we should not forgo the duty of
advocating what we believe to be tie
best interests of all concerned.

A CHANCE FOR OIL

We are pleased to note the re
newal of activity at the Benson
oil well, The gentlemen now in
charge. according to reports.
have definitely completed their
arrangements for a complete test
of this location and will drill to
the greatest depth possible for
oil before abandoning the we'll.
Leases are now being made on
surrounding property and should
the prospect be q successful one
the country surrounding will be
prepared for it.
1t is interesting to note in con
nection with this we'll that the
men who have formerly tried
drilling here and who were fore
ed to abandon the hole before a
complete test was made are the
strongest believers even today
that oil will eventually be found.
Only one geologist, it is said,
has been less than enthusiastic
over the location and there have
been q large number look the
place over for different concerns
and individuals.
Oil in Benson will mean a
great deal to that end of Cochise
county and may be the begin
ming of an oil development thru
this county that will change it's
entire complexion. In the mean
time. however, copper, silver,
lead, zinc, gold and vanadium
are known to exist in almost
every mining district in Cochise
county and it is in this branch OF
the mining industry that this
county has it's best hopes OF
prospering. More capital and
more men to develop the mineral
ind dustry would be the most vel
