LIQUOR FEE

Indications are that members

Maryland, will continue to drink
bootleg liquor, unless Montgomery
county reduces it's license fee.
This became evident today when
it was pointed out, that of the
several country clubs located in
the county. only one, the Kenwood
Golf and Country Club, has re-
ceived a license to operate a bar.
Most of the others are on a
strike" refusing to pay the $500
license fee.
In addition, the Montgomery
county law provides that officers
of club must take personal respon-
sibility for any violations of the
law, and few officers care to run
the risk when a violation might
cause their arrests. And should
they be convicted, they would be
liable to a maximum fine of
$1,000, or a maximum prison sent

yesterday termed drivers of Gov

Hitz made the statement in
dissenting opinion in the case of
Robert L. May, who had been
awarded damages for being struck
by a Government truck. The ap-
pellate court refused the damages
to May. Hitz said:
Among the most dangerous
drivers on our dangerous streets

courts should be slow to extend
the cover of municipal immunity
to municipal vehicles while en-
gagged in non-emergency service"

Martins letter points out that
motorists on long trips would find
these forecasts of great advantage.
They would learn whether they
were heading into storms, and
could either avoid them or prepare
for them. The information would
be especially valuable for night
travelling and trips over mountain
roads, it was suggested.
Day and night broadcasts are

Greatest in Peace Time As Far
As Revolutionary Change
and Action Are Concerned
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service


The historians are going to
write of 1888 as the most moment
Gus year in the peace-time history
of Americans year that wit
messed a peaceful revolution which
changed the whole picture and
character of the American Cow
ernment.
Profound changes have been
made; precedents shattered; in
novations undertaken. all of which
probably will loom larger in per-
spective than they appear at
present.
Old Order Changcth
Rugged individualism" as a
political, economic and social
philosophy disappeared from the
American scene with the ch>.nge
of administrations last March.
In it's stead has come sc -li-
paternalism by the Federal Gov
ernment, an utter uprooting Of
theories of government hitherto
held sacred, and a kind of die
tatorship Of government over
business, the intent and purpose
of which is the improvement of
the lot of the average man.
Nineteen thirty-three daWned in
despair and hope-despair over
economic conditions as the coun-
try entered the fourth year Of
the great depression, and hope
that the new Democratic admin
iStration would be able to improve
conditions.
In the weeks between January
and March, while the country
impatiently waited for the change
at Washington, conditions grew
steadily worse. and finally culmin-
ated in the first few days of
March in an almost total collapse
of the banking system.
Acted With Speed
Moving with a swiftness that
has since been seen to be charac.
teristic, the first act of President
Roosevelt was to order the imme-
diate closing of every bank in the
country, State or national, good or
bad. This was on the fifth Of
March, the day after he was
inaugurated.
He did it on his own respon.
sibility, for he had no Congress to
grant him the power.
Many doubted secretly that he
had the power to do it, but so
thoroughly frightened were the
financiers and the bankers that
they did not publicly question it.
They were glad enough to have
somebody take responsibility for
the situation.
Then began a series of acts,
executive and legislative, that has
resulted here at the end of 1888
in Mr.. Roosevelt exercising more
power than any President in his.
tory, and in the Federal Govern
ment dominating personal and
corporate business to an ex-
tent the founding fathers never
dreamed of when they laid the
foundations of the Republic.
Congress Gives o. X.
The Federal Government is now,
at the end of 1888, fiving prices.

working conditions for private in.
