forcibly to the attention of the Cen
eral Assembly today in the form of
two bills introduced in the House and
favorable action on another by COM
mittee of the Senate.
Compulsory unemployment insur-
ance of employees of industry through
out Maryland and immediate payment
On cash of the soldiers bonus was
asked in the House measure.
At the same time the Senate acted
unanimously in adopting the favorable
committee report on measure de-
claring a moratorium on Howard
county taxes.
Short Session
The three moves for relief of farm
ers, ex-soldiers and workers of the
State came in a short session which
lasted little more than half an hour,
which also saw a number of other
bills introduced in both houses.
The measure asking for immediate
payment of the bonus certificates in
cash by Thomas D'Alesandro, of Bal
timore City, was in the form of a
Joint resolution as memorial to
Congress. Because of the "unprece-
denied unemployment situation many
persons were in dire Distress" it
said.
It carried clauses instructing the
secretary of state to send copies to
the President of the United States
and the presiding officers Of both
houses of Congress. 1t also instruct
ed that copies be sent to Maryland
representatives in Congress with in
structions to work for acceptance by
that body of the program.
Unemployment Insurance
Delegate Frank Hirt's measure re-
quiring compulsory unemployment in
surance for workers, provided fol
the payment of so per cent of the av-
erage weekly wage to all persons
laid off through business depression
or other causes not of their own max
ing.
Building up of funds from which
the insurance would be paid was pro-
vided for through clause requiring
employers to create reserve funds OF
take out insurance to assure the pay
ments in time of lay off. The pay
ments to any individual would be linn
tied to Is weeks.
The Howard county proposal fol
delay in collection of 1880 taxes
now delinquent, provisions of which
were made to apply to 1881 taxes
was placed on their reading for final
passage on adoption of the favorable
committee report.

ATTENDANCE in SCHOOLS
OF STATE JUMPS YEARLY
Enrolment in Maryland Public
Institutions Increased More
Than 1900 Last Year
PUPILS NUMBER 13S,5OC

Enrolment in the white public
schools of the State increased by more
than 1900 last year over the year
before, the annual report made pub
lie Saturday at the office of the SUI
perintendent of the State Department
of Education in Baltimore disclosed
The white enrolment in the county
schools at the end of the school year,
July 81, 1880, was 133,500. The av-
erage attendance increased by more
than 5000.
This was explained by the fact that
attendance during 1929 was unusu-
ally low because of epidemics and
sickness.
The largest gains in enrolment
were Baltimore county, 500, Anne
Arundel and Prince Georges more
than 400 and Allegany 200.
Carroll, Worcester, Somerset, Car
oline and st. Mary's all had de-
creases.
The total enrolled in the county
white schools was 131 ,280 in 1929 and
114,871 in 1920.
cit will be noted" said the report
"that the total county enrolment in
1880 over 1920 showed an increase of
$4,000 pupils, while the numHS: in
average attendance increased by 49,
300, due largely to the efficient work
of the attendance officers and the i'm
proved instruction in the schools"
Baltimore Increases 975
In Baltimore City the Increase ir
white enrolment was 975. The tota
enrolment at the end of the year was
$4,000.
although the white population II
the counties is close to that in Balti
more City, the counties have from
$4,000 to 41,OOO more white children
to educate in the public schools thar
the city," said the report.
"Half of this difference is due to the
fact that a larger number of city
than county children attend the paro
chial and private schools. The re-
naming difference is explained by the
larger number of children per family
in the counties"

who was then the able and powerful
leader of the Democratic party, not
only in Baltimore City, but in the en-
tire State. 1t was noteworthy fact
that while Governor Whyte headed
the combination he was never known
to have received any part of the illicit
gains-that he used his influence
simply and solely for political pur-
poses, and out of this combination was
evolved the old and notorious Demo-
cratic ring or party machine, which
later became absolute in it's power
under the leadership of the late Ar
thur P. German, and Isaac Freeman
Rasin. These two able politicians so
manipulated the machine, of which
Governor Whyte was the real foun-
der, that in ten years after it's forma-
ton they were able to overthrow
Whyte, who was then United States
Senator, and send Mr.. German to
Washington as a member of the Up
per House in his place.
So completely did they perform
their work that Mr.. Whyte was pitch
ed headlong out on the political scrap
heap that he never recovered his in
fiuence, was never even consulted by
the ring which he had formed, and
while in later years he was elected
Mayor of Baltimore, in 1887 was
chosen Attorney General, and still
later was sent to the United States
Senate for short time, by appoint
ment of Governor Warield, after the
death Of his old-time pupil Mr.. Cor
man, but he was virtually without
real power and influence, after he
was defeated for reelection to the
Senate in 1880.
In other words the ring which he
had formed cast him out, and while

he was from time to time thrown a
few political crumbs and bones, it
was only done to prevent the eleva-
ton of younger and more dangerous
men whose success would have jeop-
ardized the corrupt and nefarious
schemes of the political machine
which never attained its unholy per-
lection until Mr.. Whyte had been ig-
ANONYMOUSLY cast into outer darkness.
He had served their purpose. He had
given a rather doubtful responsibility
to the organization which he had
made up of such men as Arthur P.
German, 1. Freeman Rasin, Jesse K.
Hines, George Cotton and the usual
sort of secondary lights of that day,
had confirmed it as the regular organ
ization of the Democratic party in
the City and State and in order to
carry out the schemes for gain and
power they threw him out-they did
not want such a man to be at their
head-for they felt sure that he would
never consent to the program they
had secretly made up to control the
City and State governments for the
acquisition of power and money, re-
CARELESS of decency and often in de-
fance of law. They made it one OF
the most notorious and powerful point
ical machines in the country and fol
years it was practically impossible fol
any man, however able he might be
to secure official honor in the City OF
State without first bowling in abject
humility and subserviency to this
unholy combination. They retained
their power for thirty years and were
not overthrown (and then for few
years only) until the indignation Of
the people was aroused to such an ex-
tent that in 1895 the Democratic par
ty was overwhelmed by a combination
of independents and Republicans ano
the entire State and City governments
were turned over to the Republicans
and after an administration of foul
years they in turn were defeated and q
chastened and somewhat improved
Democratic organization was restored
to the control of public affairs in both
the City and State. The old-time lob
by, however, never regained its for.
mer power. Other men had come tc
the front and for the past thirty years
new methods have prevailed, and while
the ancient iniquities were measurably
abandoned, new and more respectable
methods have prevailed, and while the
brazen evils of the Gorman-Rasin re.
gime are no longer in evidence, under
cover the nefarious practices are car.
ried on at the present day and there
is every evidence that there will be 6
revival during the next three months
of a system of machine politics fully
as iniquitous as those which were ir

in 1895.

MT. LAKE PARK

One robin does not make a summer.
But just the same we saw one this
week-but he was not singing. Just
looking around for summer cottage,
we presume. Or, perhaps, waiting to
see what kind of weather we are 60
ing to have after Ground Hog Day,
SO he can send wireless to his best
girl telling her that the time is ripe
for apartment hunting.
For the first time since before
Christmas, Mounatin Lake Parkers
are able to see the ground. The snow
has disappeared. While we are glad
of the change, at the same time the
Old-fashioned winter we have been
having is not half bad. The clear,
cold, snappy air, the cleaning white
snow, unblackened by the dirt and
SCOT of the cities, the jingling of
sleigh bells, the skating and bobsled-
riding, all have made for pleasant
and health-giving season. Although
the backbone of the winter may have
been broken, yet we may expect more
ice and snow. At the same time this
mountain top has been one Of, the
favored spots, taking every thing into
consideration. We have no serious
problem of unemployment, nor are we
cursed with bank failures, which have
been the cause of much hardship and
embarrassment in other sections of
the country. Of course, we are short
of cash, but that is chronic condi-
lion. Sporadic cases of actual need
have been well taken care of by kind
neighbors, or the county authorities.
And while the general recession Of
business has had it's effect on the
profits of the merchants, at the same
time Garrett county, so far as we
know, has had no serious business
failures. The good roads have en-
abled large percent Of the urbanites
to transact their business in Oakland.
Parking space, even during the win
Ger, is at a premium. Business is
quiet, but not any more so than is
usual at this season of the year.
Spring and Summer will soon be here,
with the usual influx of the summer
colony. Take it all in all we have no
reason to complain.
