Majority Class to Contribute
Greatest Saving Under
Reduction Proposal

Those Federal employees re-
ceiving salaries ranging from
$1,000 to $4,000 probably will
be asked by the House
Economy Committee to con-
tribute the most in the Federal
pay reduction scheme.
Representative William Will
hanson (R.) of South Dakota
said today that to make any ap-
preciaLle saving in the Federal
payroll it would be necessary for
the employees in that class to con.
tribute most as they constitute
the greater majority of all Gov
ernment employees.
Stands for Navy
While the reduction rate will
not be as high for that class as in
higher brackets, in all probability,
the greater saving must be made
in the payroll of that group, Will
hanson said.
representative CLcu bElGGen
(R0 Of Illinois, former chairman
Of the Naval Affairs Committee,
said that he was strenuouSly op-
posed to any pay-cut proposals
that would affect enlisted men of
the Navy or other services.
When the House discusses the
question of amending the revenue
bill pending in the House so as
to permit tax on beer, Britten
said he would bring up the oues-
ton by salary reduction. He de-
clared:
"UnlesS they are willing to
increase the revenue by a beer
amendment, I will unalterably
oppose any salary reduction"
IL Per Cent Favored
Although. the economy group
failed in its plan to report a bill
yesterday, it was understood it
gave its attention to a proposal
that would reduce all salaries II
per cent after a fixed exemption
of $1,000.
Members of Congress would
under such a proposal be reduced
IL per cent of $4,000 and other
salaries would be cut at the
same rate.
Members are being Swamped
with protests against reductions.
Organized labor throughout the
country is reported to be pro-
testing that if Government salar.

tionS and industry will follow the
example and continue the reduc-
tions that private business has
already started.
Tax Foes Join Fight
Representative John McDuffie,
CD of Alabama, declared that
since he started his pay reduc-
ton campaign he had become
about as popular as a polecat at
picnic"
LaGuardia has openly declared
he will fight against any salary
cut to the bitter end, and he
predicted today that such a pro-
gram would never be adopted by
the House.
Opponents to the sales tax,
declared the motive back of the
tax fight would actuate them in
their attack on the economy
committees program.
Charges of conducting "star
chamber" proceedings in connec-
ton with Federal salary pay cuts
were made today by William r.
Valance. president Of the Federal
Bar Association, following the an
nouncement that a hearing re-
quested by the organization had
been denied.

MOST AUTO DRIVERS ARE
CLASSED AS SAFE

At the recent annual meet
ing of the National Safety
Council held in Washington,
D. c., the nations traffic ex-
perts reached the conclusion
that about five per cent of all
automobile drivers are poor
drivers. An operator who has
three or more accidents in the
course of five years comes UNI
der the poor driver rating.
Thirty-three per cent of the
drivers are average-they have
one or two accidents in five
years and the remainder, which
means a very definite majority,
who do not have any accidents
at all. In spite of this our
traffic accident toll is far from
what it should be. Apparently
a careless few are responsible
for this CHASTITY highway
slaughter. 1t certainly is un-
fair to allow a thoughtless few
to jeopardize the lives and
property of the majority.
If. you are among the major
ity you have a right to register
a mighty protest against the
carelessness that is so preva-
lent on our streets. If you are
among that unpopular five per
cent you had better make a
careful analysis of your driving
habits in an effort to determine
the cause of your accidents.
One point which many driv-
ers apparently lose sight of is
that tired drivers are more sus-
ceptible to accidents than driv-
ers who only drive a reason
able number of miles per day
and have had a sufficient
amount of rest before starting
on the trip. Fatigue is not
only caused from lack of sleep.
Improper food may cause it.
Hours of driving in a cramped
position will help bring on ia
tigue. Worry is another po-
tent cause, Any one of these
factors make safe driving diff
ficult. Any two or more of
them combined makes driving
a dangerous occupation.

WET PROSPERITY RID
DIED

eve must not defend prohi-
bition; we must attack liquor. !"
With this statement the Rev.
Alonzo Baker, of Mountain
View, Calf, editor of Signs of
the Times, launched into an
enthusiastically received speech
at a mass meeting of citizens
at Denver, Colorado.
Bristling with satire and
barbed with humor, Mr.. Baker
abandoned hackneyed platitud-
es and literally ripped to shreds
the three major arguments of
wet advocates in what he term
ed a fighting offense against
repeal measures"
First" Mr.. Baker said, "tn-,
vets say repeal would bring
back prosperity. What was it
wise Solomon said? Drunk
ards shall come to poverty. OF
course,s Solomon was not so
wise as those wet leaders who
say 'Drunkerds shall come to
prosperity They ask us to
drink the nation out of debt. "
England taxes liquor 25,
Germany, Belgium and France
each about Is per cent. Why
is every nation that taxes Ii
quor worse off than this great
nation that doesn't?"
Besides" he continued, eff
we raised the amount of taxes
promised by the vets from
beer, some 2,50O,0O0,000 a
year from a 3-cents-a-pint tax,
every family would have to use
three or four times as much as
before prohibition. That isn't
likely.
"Now the farmer doesn't
want repeal. I am told by the
president of the National
Grange Association that if the
people of this nation want to
help the farmer by drinking
something. they should drink
milk, because far more grain
is used producing milk than in
making beer.
'In 1918 Gustave Pabst told
Congress that only one bushel
out of every 1873 was used in
making liquor. Brewers fought
the war measure against beer
with statements that beer used
very little grain. Today they
almost swear to use 134 bush
els out of every 1873 produced.
1t is ridiculous position they
have taken.
"And if states where it is be-
ing voted on this fall repeal
their prohibition laws they will
become paradises-for boot
leggers.

THE BALLOT

We published last week, and
again this week, in supple
ment form with the Midland
Journal, the official ballot to be
used at the election on Novem-
Der 8.
The names of the eight
Presidential electors Of the
Democratic, Republican, Soc
ialist. Labor, and the Commu-
mist parties appear on the bal
lot, as we'll as the names of the
candidates for the United
States Senate of these parties,
the candidates for Congress in
the First Maryland District of
the Democratic and Republican
parties, and spaces to vote for
or against the Referred Law,
(the Cecil county $1,000,000
road bond issue,) and the Ju-
dicial Department Constitu-
lional Amendment.
While we vote for the Presi-
Dental electors and not for the
President direct, the law pro-
vides that a single crossmark
litter the surnames of the can
didates for President and Vice
President will vote for their
eight electors.
1t will, therefore, only be
necessary to make five cross
marks to vote the entire ticket
One for President and Vice
President, one for Senator, one
for Representative, one on the
Referred Law (bond issue) and
one on the Constitutional
Amendment.
The voter should study the
form of the ballot carefully so
as to be familiar with it and
avoid becoming confused when
he enters the election booth to
mark his preferences.

FARM TAXES A BURDEN

"One phase OF the American
farmers troubles is largely in
his own hands," Horace Bow
ker, president of The Ameri-
can Agricultural Chemical
Company, pointed out in a re-
cent interview, land this is the
load of local taxes. Here he
could do something for himself
in voting to stop the orgy of
taxation which has prevailed
everywhere in America during
the last decade and is now at
it's peak.
"The farm vote is the con-
trolling one in the agricultural
states, and it only requires
united effort on his part to
bring about the remedy. He is
an easy victim of the tax-eater
having nothing to swear off.
His possessions are easily as
sessed. Land and buildings
cannot run away; cattle, sheep
and swine are plainly visible to
the assessor.
Accordingly, his remedy is
to take hold of local govern
ment and bring the OUTLAWS
down to reason. l would not
deplore good roads, but they
have laid a TREMENDOUS load
upon the class that makes the
least use of them. The farmer
has to carry the cost of thous-
ands of miles of speedways for
town users. Built mainly on
bonds, these have placed a per-
manent load upon his back.
This is annually supplemented
by the rising cost of schools
and other town items, and
while the value of his crops
has gone lower and lower, his
taxes have increased"

DEFEAT THE $1,O00,OO0
BOND ISSUE

In addition to the Presiden-
tial electors, a United State
Senator, a Congressman and
the Judicial Amendment on the
ballot, to be marked by the
voter in Cecil county, on Mo-
vember 9Th, is the Referred
Law" which is the $1,000,00O
road bond measure, forced
through the last. Legislature
despite the efforts of the three
members of the House of Del
egates to defeat it, Senator
Williams being behind the
measure and doing everything
in his power to secure its pas
sage.
The indignation of the tax
payers of the county was
aroused to such an extent that
petitions were circulated for
signers, ASKING that the meas
ure be placed on the ballot this
fall, in order that the voters
might be given a chance to
ratify or reject it.
This is the only local issue of
the campaign in Cecil county,
and it is one that concerns
every tax payer, as the ratifi-
cation of the measure means
an increase in the county tax
rate, when the tax burden is al
ready a heavy one.
There is no party issue con-
cerned in this matter, it is one
of taxes. If you want the
county tax rate increased next
year, a sure way to accomplish
it is to mark your ballot For
The Referred Law, if you do
not want an increase in your
county taxes, be sure and place
a cross mark in the square OPP
posite Against The Referred
Law" and thereby help defeat
this proposed $1,OO0,OOO bond
issue. :

COVERED WAGONS TO
MOVE ON CAPITAL

"The covered wagons are
turning East" claim the pro-
motors of the Farmers Nation
al Relief Conference, schedul-
ed to be held in Washington, D.
c., December ITO, in a protest
movement.
Letters and pledges of sup
port and attendance are made
public from farmers in widely
separated sections of the coun-
try. The conferences aim is
summarized by the Nebraska
State Association: ''The con-
ference of rank and file farm
ers to formulate a national re-
lief program and to decide on
united action by all militant
farmers of the country is our
answer" it says, ''to the bank
ruptcy and ruin which threaten
the farm population. Eviction
and foreclosures are just "a
round the corner for the ma
jority of us.
Since our leaders, both
those elected by us to repre-
sent us in government and
those who head our farm or
ganization, have show nthat
they cannot or will not help us,
we the farmers, must take
ms tiers into our own hands.
You can count on a caravan of
covered wagons from Nebraska
moving on to Washington"
The conference demands i'm
mediate relief, to be formulat-
ed in a detailed program when
the farmer delegates arrive in
Washington. They expect to
carry this program to the Pres
ident, to both houses of Con-
gress, to the Secretary of Agri-
culture, to the Farm Board.
In the light of the answers
they receive, the farmers will
again convene and decide how
best they can enforce their pro-
gram.

Tuesday next, November 9Th,
is election day, when it is the
duty of every registered voter
to exercise the franchise.
Despite every effort Of party
leaders to arouse enthusiasm,
political apathy seems to OBJ
sess the voters of the lard, the
percentage remaining away
from the polls appearing to
grow larger with each succeed
ing election.
Statistics show that at the
Presidential election in 1896
more than sc per cent of the
electorate voted, but since then
there has been a gradual fall
ing off in the percentage OF
those exercising the franchise
In the Smith-Hoover contest
figures show only about SO pei
cent of the electorate voting.
With radios, newspapers anG
other means setting the polit-
ical issues before the people
there is a deplorable indiffer-
ence, apparently.
This is not as it should be,
but it is fact. In place of en-
thusiasm there is much dissat-
isfaction d restlessness
among the voters, that is to be
reckoned with, and in the clos
ing days of this strenuous cam
paign both the G.. o. p. and
Democratic party are making
extravagant claims of sure
success. Be that as it may,
the result will not be known
until the vote cast November
Sth is counted.
