THE LEE APPOINTMENT

Governor Richie should not have
appointed E. Brooke Lee to the
Roads Commission. That is said
with full understanding that Mr..
Lees ability and energy, wisely di-
rected, may result in his becoming
an admirable official in the office.
The point is that Mr.. Lee is in
politics up to his eyes, is the Cover
nor's chief lieutenant and is constant
ly expanding the scope of his polit-
ical influence.
1t is true that by inheritance and
conviction Mr.. Lee belives that poll
tics should be the servant of good
government. We believe he is sim
cerely interested in good govern
ment. But it is equally true that the
man who seeks good government
through daily immersion in practical
politics is under constant necessity
to compromise, and very easily drifts
into state of mind in which the end
becomes a blanket excuse for all
manner of means. 1t is not sound
policy to expose such a man to the
tremendous political temptations the
Roads Commission offers, or to ex-
pose the roads work to the conse-
quences that would follow surrender
to political temptation.
1t is now up to Mr.. Lee to make
a choice of paths. He cannot be the
drifting politician he has been in the
past and yet be a good member of the
Roads Commission, land for good or
ill his force and personality will
make him the dominant member.
If he fixes his eye solely on the
public welfare, he will find himself
slamming the door on many man
with whom ne has played the game
in the past and many a man with
whom he would play the game in the
, future. 1.-The does not slam the door,
he is destined to bring disaster to
himelf and Ito the State. He is not
going Einto an essentially political
office this time. He is going into an
office that calls for plain, hard bust
ness administration and nothing else.
For his own sake, as well as the
public's, The Independent hopes he
will turn squarely away from pol.

Today we live in a cooperative
age. American industrial supre-
macy, like American progress and
prosperity, has largely resulted from
the application Of the principle of
mass production and distribution to
many lines of business.
The troubles of the farmer have to
a great degree been caused by a
lack of collective effort. Overpro-
duction has resulted from undirected
prodcution. Poor farm prices have
been partially the result of the fact
that farmers are without the power
to bargain.
Only by cooperation and organiza-
ton can prosperous agricultural
future be assured. When ten thos-
and or a hundred thousand farmers
band together and demand a fair
deal and profitable prices for their
produce, their chances of getting it
are infinitely better than if each far
mer did business wholly on his own.
The present trend toward coopera-
tive marketing is a bright sign on
the agricultural horizon.

A, slump in farm real estate values
in virtually all States during the
year ended March l, carried average
values to new lows since the post
war agricultural depression, 8 points
on the index below last year, or
about 8 per cent below the average
for last year, according to the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics, u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.
The United States average OF
values on March l, 1881, is placed at
lO6 per cent of the average of the
prewar years 1924, compared with
115 per cent on March /, 1880. The
index for the year 1920 was ITO per
cent of prewar, and in 1925 it was
1877 per cent.
The bureau says that the combina-
ton OF low prices, drought, world
depression, and an already congested
farm real estate market, was follow
ed or accomanied by a widespread
and substantial tendency toward a
writing down of the value of farm
lands. The index of wholesale
prices of all commodities dnring
this period dropped from 1873 In
March 1880, to 100 in March 1881.

FIRE ON THE FARM

During 1880 farmers suffered one
of the greatest fire losses in agricul-
tural history, a total of about $685.
600, 600, according to the National
Fire Waste Council, as compared
with an average of 800, 0OO,0 600 in
normal" years.
This unusually heavy fire loss was
attributed largely to the drought,
which increased the common farm
hazards such as highly combustible
buildings, isolation from the protec-
ton of adequately equipped fire com
panies, and general lack of fire
quenching facilities.
Even so, the annual farm fire loss
cannot be justified. Numerous stud
les have been completed and others
are being made on how to reduce
the waste. Many authoritative book
lets, dealing with every phase of the
agricultural fire problem, are avail
able. The barrier in the way of pre-
vention, of course, is the same on
farms as in cities, the refusal of the
individual to learn the fundamentals
of fire prevention, and his careless
ness in permitting unnecessary haz-
ard to 90 uncorrected.
It cannot be questioned that the an
nual fire waste has done much to
prevent farm prosperity. Even if
all property were covered by insur-
ance, which it is not, no policy can
compensate for destroyed buildings
and crops, wasted time, devastated
land. Every farmer should take
steps to make his property as ''fire-
proof" as is humanity possible.

SINEPUXENT INLET

Congressman Goldsborough
was notified on May IL by the
Board of Engineers for Rivers
and Harbors that at a meeting
held on May 18th it had been
decided to make a complete
survey of the proposed inlet
from the Sinepuxent Bay to the
Atlantic Ocean at Ocean City,
Maryland.
In 1927, Congressman Colds
borough secured the passage
of a bill providing for a survey
by the Board of Engineers for
Rivers and EIarbors of this
proposed inlet. Ascertaining
that the report would be un-
faborable he requested the re-
port be delayed, because when
an unfavorable report is once
made another survey cannot be
made of the same project for
four years.
In the last session of the
Maryland Legislature, a bill
was passed providing for an
appropriation by the State of
Maryland for 100000 to be
turned over to the United
States providing the Govern
ment would build the inlet to
completion.
On April 8 last, the Board of
Engineers notified Mr.. Colds
borough that the report would
have to be filed by May 18th.
Upon representations of the
Act of the Maryland Legisla-
ture, the Board agreed not to
file it's report, but to make
another examination. The
present examination is for the
purpose of ascertaining the cost
and also the benefits of the in
let to navigation.
The Board of Engineers has
notified Congressman Colds
borough that it can make up it's
report in some two or three
months, so that he will have it
available when Congress meets
in December.
Congressman Goldsborough
will introduce bill providing
for the necessary legislation as
soon as Congress convenes, and
he believes he will be able to
secure the necessary appro-
priation.
The completion of this pro-
lect will insure salt water for
Sinepuxent Bay, which is neces-
sary for the crab and oyster
industry, will insure a harbor
in rough weather, and will be
of great help in the scheme of
inland waterways.

sBUDDY" POPPIES MADE IN
HOSPITALS

More than 100000 Buddy
Popppies will be distributed in
the Tenth Annual Buddy Poppy
Sale of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars of the U. s. during the
week prior to Memorial Day.
First among veteran organ
izations to conduct a nation
wide poppy sale and the first
organization to adopt the
policy of distributing peoples
made exclusively by disabled
exservice men, the Veterans of
Foreign Wars of the U. S. make
no concessions to claims to
the contrary.
Although peoples made a
previous appearance in a few
scattered communities, they
were introduced on a nation
wide scale for the first time by
the Veterans Of Foreign Wars
of the u. S. in 1922.
When the, public from coast
to coast demonstrated it's pref
erence for the poppy as the
appropriate memorial flower of
the nation, attempts on the part
of other organizations that
year to abandon the poppy by
popularizing other symbolic
blossoms were Immediately for
gotten. The success of the v.
F. w. distribution of peoples
had convinced them that the
little flower of Flanders field
origin could not be replaced.
In 1923 the Veterans of For
eign Wars of the U. S. in CO.
|'Operation with the U. S. Veter-
ans Bureau, established the
first Buddy Poppy Factory, .
manned completely by disabled
ex-service men. This factory
was located at Pittsburgh, Pa,
and in the poppy sale of 1924
every poppy distributed by a
V. F. w. post or auxiliary
throughout the United States
was made at Pittsburgh.
The folloing year this plan,
which was given the hearty en-
dorsement of General Frank
T. Hines, director of the u. s.
Veterans Bureau, was extended
to Veterans Bureau hospitals
throughout the country. Since
then the V. F. w. poppies have
been assembled exclusively by
disabled veterans in govern
ment hosuitals.
The name Buddy Poppy"
was originated by the disabled
men themselves. In order to
protect the men from CONNER
cial poppies used by other or
CARNATIONS, the v. F. w. regis
tered the word Buddy" as it's
trademark. Every poppy ham
died by the V. F. w. since 1923
has been tabled with tag
bearing the words "V. F. w.
Buddy Poppy" as a guarantee
to the public that the symbolic
flowers sold by this organiza-
ton are genuine products of
the diabled men.
Quick to observe the imme-
date and widespread APPROX
al of country at large for the
Buddy Poppy and the ideals it
represents, other organizations
followed the lead of the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars of the U.
S. In sponsoring poppy pro-
grams. The slogan of the v.
F. w., which seeks to Honor
the dead by helping the living. .
has been adopted as the key
note OF similar endeavors spon-
sored by other veteran organ
izations.
