PROHIBITION PARTY RE-
,UrVENATED

Asserting that the cause of
national prohibition has been
left out in the cold by the major
political parties, the old Prohi-
bition Party, rejuvenated dur
ing the last election with the
presidential candidacy of Mr..
William D. Upshaw, is making
a bid for political power in
1886.
Having got a new start, the
party leaders now have hope
of being able to convince the
disappointed defenders of ma
tional prohibition that their
only course lies in abandoning
old party ties and uniting in a
party committed irrevocably to
national prohibition and other
progressive issues.
To millions of dry voters
who do not know where to go,
politically, the Prohibition
PARTY offers them political
homes in a party which will
stand not only for the prohibi-
ton issue but for other needed
progressive gov e r n m l
measures.
The Prohibition Party's bid
for the real political support of
all drys is made with the cir
culation of a new dry paper
called The National Prohibi-
zionist, the first official organ
the party has had for over
decade, although there are sew
eral state papers published by
party supporters.
The new publication is died.
icated, said Mr.. Blake, It's edi-
tor, to the cause of building up
the Prohibition Party during
the next four years so that the
party's presidential candidate
can be put on the ballot in ev-
cry state in the Union, and to
keep prohibition dominant
issue in national politics until
the cause is wholly victorious.

MOTHERS DAY PROCLA-
NATION

President Roosevelt by proc
lamation calls for observance
of Mothers Day, Sunday, May
IA. He urges that everything
be done this year for the relief
and welfare of mothers and
children who may be in need OF
the necessities of life.
The proclamation sets forth
that Senate Resolution 16,
adopted May 1, 1888, states
fsthere are throughout our land
today an unprecedentedly large
number of mothers and de-
pendent children who, because
of unemployment or loss OF
their bread earners, are lacking
many of the necessities OF life" "
and the President of the United
States is therein authorized
and requested to issue a proc
lamation calling these matters
to the attention of our citizens
on Mothers Day this year.
Now, therefore, I, Franklin
d. Roosevelt, President of the
United States of America, by
virtue of the authority vested
in me, do hereby issue my proc
lamation calling upon our citi-
zens to express on Mothers
Day, Sunday, May IA, 1888, our
love and reverence for mother
hood:
a. BY the customary display
of the United State flag on all
government buildings, homes
and other suitable places;
b. BY the usual tokens and
messages of affection to our
mothers; and
G. By doing all that we can
through our churches, fratern-
al and welfare agencies for the
relief and welfare of mothers
and children who may be in
need of the necessities of life.

ECONOMIES HIT EDUCA.
TION OF 100000 PUPILS,

Economy's hard hand has
closed the schoolhouse door in
the face of nearly 100000
children of the United States.
A survey being conducted by
the National Education Asso-
citation shows that on April l.
the latest. date on which Stats
tics are available-doors had
been shut against 100000
children
Preliminary reports from 81
States disclose that by last Feb
ruary %, 1888 schools were
closed in nine States, involv-
ing 43 political sub divisions
and completely denying educa-
tional opportunity after that
date to 119,969 children.
In nearly all communities,
the study indicates, teachers
salaries have been cut from 10
to 40 per cent, Many thous-
and were found to be paid these
reduced salaries by warrants
which could be 'cashed at local
financial institutions only at
discount" In a few cases loo
al banks would not cash the
warrants at all.
Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas,
Louisiana, and New Mexico are
listed by the association as
among the States in which
schools have received the most
Furnishing wallops from the de-
preston.
The report reveals that APP
proximately IS per cent of the
school children in Alabama
were involved in the curtailing
of the school term, and many
schools there were forced to
shut down before the Christ
mas holidays.
Many instances are cited
where teachers are personally
carrying almost the Whole bur-
den of educating a commune
tvs children, serving without
pay or with deferred pay ments
with little hope of collection.

FARM COOPERATIyES

The work shop for the MEM
Der of a farm cooperative is in
his home bailiwick. Right
there, in the country commun-
ity, is where America is going
to be made over in the next ten
years or so. The city has had
it's run. While good roads and
automobiles are giving the
country community almost ev-
erything that the city has, on
top of the kind of life that the
city never did and never will
have.
Farmers cooperative asso-
Citations will head the parade in
the new movement, as cham
bers of commerce led in city
building.
The farm cooperatives are,
in the full sense of the word,
civilizing agencies. They are
a social force as we'll as an eco
nonlic machine.
The farmer who joins a CO.
operative, works with and for
it, and gives it his loyal sup
port, is working for himself,
his neighbors and the Ameri-
can family generally. Agri-
culture has many problems
and the cooperative ideal
touches them all.

FARM BUREAU URGES TEL
Z EPH0NE RATE RE-
DUCTION

Cooperating with John Hen
ry Levin, Peoples Counsel,
the Maryland Farm Bureau
Federation and affiliated or
CARNATIONS through Miles H.
Fairbank, Secretary-T Treasurer,
has filed a protest before the
Public Service Commission af-
ter preliminary hearing look
ing towards a possible reduc-
ton of phone rates in Mary
land to the extent of $2,G00,000
annually.
After Mr.. Levin had deliver
ed preliminary statement set
ting forth the valuation and
kindred facts to substantiate an
order calling for a reduction in
rates, Mr.. Fairbank took the
stand and stated, that for the
past two years the farmers and
rural citizens of Maryland have
been readjusting their bust
ness to- present conditions
while at the same time trying
to maintain an adequate stand
ard of living"
eve are suffering under no
Illusion" Mr.. Fairbank con-
tinued "that agricultural pros
perity will come back with a
rush. We are we'll aware that
it will be long hard grind
even under favorable condi-
tions. At the same time we
have been trying to sponsor a
program of better living and it
is exceedingly unfortunate that
the number of rural telephones
are decreasing, principally be-
cause of the rates imposed in
order that the telephone COM
panies may make a profit"
Mr.. Fairbank also pointed
out that the telephone compan-
les would profit by the activi-
ties of the Farm Bureau and
the Grange as a result of the
tax reduction campaign which
those organizations conducted
and which successfully culmin-
ated in legislation that will re-
duce property taxes in the
counties anywhere from $50
to 40%. He further urged the
Commission to recognize the
economic status of the farmers
as a background for their de-
alterations along with the es-
Inmates of property values and
the valuation of physical as
sets upon which the present
rates would be sustained or
lower rates ordered.

FIVE STATE JUDGES TAKE
SALARY CUT

Five members of Maryland's
judiciary have voluntarily ask
ed to have their salaries reduc-
ed fifteen per cent, as requested
of all State officials and en-
ployes who now receive more
than $4,000 annually. The
other twenty-nine have made
no such request.
Chief Judge Carroll T. Bond
of the Court Of Appeals headed
the list of those contributing a
part of their salaries to the
State.
In the Sixth Judicial District,
comprising Frederick and
Montgomery counties, all three
jurists, Chief Judge Hammond
Urner and Associates Arthur P.
Willard and Robert B. Peters,
have asked that their salaries
be reduced.
Judge Thomas Heating, of
Centerville, in the Second Cir
cult, has taken similar action.
The eight chief judges, who
also compose the judiciary of
the State Court of Appeals, re-
ceive $11,500 annually; asso-
ciates in the circuits, number
ing fifteen, receive So, 500, as do
the eleven members of the Bal
timore City Supreme Bench.
The latter receive $4,000 an
nually from the State, but Bal
timore city contributes $1,000.
Attempts to legislate reduc-
tons in the salaries of the jul
dietary precipitated some of the
most spirited debates of the re-
cent General Assembly session.
Senator Joseph Allan Coad,
(Dem., st. Mary's,) was the
leading proponent of the move
ment. The proposal met ulti-
mate defeat, opponents declar-
ing that such a procedure
would be unconstitutional. A
resolution then was advanced
calling upon the judiciary to
voluntarily contribute on the
basis requested of other State
officials, but this was side
tracked in the final hour of the
session.
The president of the Univer-
sity of Maryland receives $15,-
900, which is the only State
salary exceeding that of the
appellate court jurist. The I'M
iversity vice-president, who is
remunerated for other duties,
the State Bank Commissioners
and the State Superintendent
of Schools, each with a basic
salary of $4,000 annually, are
the only officials whose COM
pensation exceeds that of the
associate judges.

MRS. ROOSEVELT TO SPEAK
AT MOTHERS DAY
MEETING

The great events OF this
world are not revolutions, and
economic conferences and
banking reforms. The great
events of this world are babies.
The most important people
in this world are not soldiers,
and statesmen and bankers.
The most important people in
this world are mothers, who
are called upon to bring into
existence a new generation.
So it is fitting that on Moth
er's Day we honor mothers. 1t
is even more fitting that on
this day we should take steps
to make motherhood safe for
them, as it is agreed by leading
authorities that at least half of
the 10000 women who annual
ly die in childbirth could be
saved by adequate maternity
care.
A meeting aimed to help
remedy the situation is sched-
uled to be held in New York
City, May 18th, with Mrs.
Franklin d. Roosevelt, as prin-
cipal speaker. A number of
outstanding medical authori-
ties and educational leaders
are to be on the program. En-
phasis is to be placed on two
important steps to be taken.
First, people should understand
that much depends on the
choice of the doctor, and select
one known to have had exper-
fence in maternity cases. At
ter selecting him, parents must
trust his Judgment, and not try
to prevail upon him to make
painless a process which can
not always be made free from
pain without increasing the
risk of infection and other un-
desirable complications. Sec
ond, if a hospital is chosen, it
should be one of high stand
ards, such as those approved
by the American College of
Surgeons, for despite the fact
that each year finds more wom-
en- going to hospitals, there is
no corresponding decrease in
the mortality rate. In fact.
many authorities believe it is
safer for a woman to have her
baby at home, if conditions
there are suitable, unless the
mothers condition requires
Especial care.
The Maternity Center Asso-
citation of New York, which is
sponsoring the Mothers Day
meeting, has made notable
contribution to knowledge OF
what adequate maternity care
can do to save mothers lives.
Among 4,726 women under
their care over a period OF
eight years in a certain section
of New York City, the death
rate was reduced two-thirds.

HALF BILLION in GAS
TAXES

State gasoline and motor
fuel taxes and licenses for the
sale of gasoline yielded a total
revenue of more than $514,-
100000 in 1882 according to re-
ports collected from State au-
thorities by the Bureau of Pub
lie Roads, U. S. Department of
Agriculture. More than IA bill
lion gallons furnished power
for motor vehicles. The tax
was at an average rate of 3.6

cal roads, $94,073,954; to State
and county road bond pay
ments, $50,726,362; to city
streets, $16,776,05O; to costs of
collection and administration,
$2,832,82 and to other than
highway purposes, SAT, 941, 4S3t
The gasoline tax revenue
from the state of Maryland was

net gallons taxed 1S7,506 1874;
percentage of increase in con-
sumption from previous year

Losses from hog cholera
have declined in recent years
owing to the wide use of the
preventive serum-and-v r u S
treatment, reports the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture. Formerly the death rate
from this malady was as high
as 100 hogs in each 1000, but
the number declined until it
reached % in each 1000 in
1881, though rising slightly to
e per 1000 IN 1882.

Forest products ranked
fourth in value among all farm
crops in the Southern States in
1880. Woods products cut and
sold from southern farms
brought farmers a cash income
of more than $S2,000,000 and
were exceeded in value only by
cotton, tobacco, and potatoes.
Approximately one fourth of
the farm area of the South, or
10000, 900 acres, is in forest or
woodlands.

Determination
The State Roads Commission has
final determination of the engineer
ing, cost, ALLEGATION, construction, ma
terial, location and other recommends
lions of the Boards of County Com
missioners, but is required for the first
time by the new law to take formal
action and to notify any Board of
County Commissioners in detail when
ever the State Roads Commission is
unable to concur in the recommends
ton of Board of County Commits
sioners in the following language also
quoted from Section 7(a) of the new
law:
"In the event that the State Roads
Commission is not able to concur in
the recommendations of the County
Commissioners or other duly con-
stituted local road or street author
tiles, it shall notify the recommend
ing authority in detail as to the
reasons why such approval is with
held, and the recommending author
ity shall thereupon, if requested, be
entitled to formal hearing before
the State Roads Commission before
final action is taken with respect to
such recommendations"
Each county will receive approx
mately the following amount for
county road maintenance, debt service
on county road bonds, or new road
construction under the provisions Of
the new law, as stated in column /,
hereunder, and the amount to be SO
received is an amount which repre-
sents the number of cents in the coun-
ty tax rate appearing in column 2.
This fund is distributed between the
counties as the total public road mile
age of each county compares with that
of the entire State. In addition to the
proceeds of the 13sc. lateral road gas
tax, stated in the following columns,
regular Federal aid for road construc-
ton in an expected amount of $685.
10000 when received this year from
the Federal government will be spent
in the counties for the same purposes
that each county's share of the lateral
road gas tax is expended, and this
fund will add approximately forty per
cent. to the amount available for di-
rect tax reduction in each of the Mary
land counties:

purses are smart according to
