Pennsylvania Is Held
After Suicide Attempt

Charles F. Lowe, of Sinking
Springs, Pa, is being held by Mont
gomery County police for investiga-
tion after an attempt at suicide Tues
day night in local hotel.
Mr.. Lowe swallowed the contents of
a bottle of iodine and then notified
the occupant of an adjoining room of
his act. DR.. William Murphy was
summoned and first aid given. He was
afterward taken to the Montgomery
County General Hospital and further
treated before being locked up.
In note written to his wife, the

Mr.. Welsh charged the county

Bond Issues Dead
Following Action
By County Heads
Officials Yield To Rural Senti.
ment In CanceIling Program
For Roads And Schools

Following the display of opposition
to any further bond issues shown at
the Farmers Convention Saturday,
county officials announced a definite
withdrawal of their plans for issuance
of bonds for road and school purposes.
The program will permit a 2-cent re-
duction in the county tax rate for the
next fiscal year in addition to the 80
2-10 slash which will be effected if
Gov. Ritchie's cut in the budget
passes the Legislature.
Lacy Shaw, president of the Board
of County Commissioners, said that
in abandoning steps to have the State
Legislature approve the proposed
bond issues, administration officials
have made it possible to slash III
cents from the tax to be levied for
roads and " cent from the tax for
schools.
Shaw announced Sunday night that
county officials had yielded to what
seemed popular demand and would
make no attempt to have the State
Legislature authorize the sale of
100000 in bonds for roads and $780,
900 for schools during its current ses-
sion at Annapolis.
The announcement followed leng-
thy conference held by Shaw at his
Office here with members of the
county's Democratic delegation in the
General Assembly, county commits
sioners, election district chairmen of
the Montgomery Government Club and
other administration leaders.
That the administration considers it
would be unwise to support legisla-
ton for the additional bonds at this
time was indicated in the action of
the election district chairmen, who
have spent the past week in consult
ing taxpayers and voters of the coun-
ty, in voting against the proposed
issues.

Saturday, March a, the second
period of the Sentineps Circulation
Campaign will terminate. Subscrip-
tons will not earn as many VOTES
after that date. After this there will
be but two more weeks, then this
campaign will be but a memory
something that HAS happened. 1t will
be too late then to plan HOW to get
the most VOTES with the least
amount of work; too late then to say:
eff had only worked little harder
Every available subscription possible
should be gotten THIS week, for il
must be remembered, first, last and
always: THE PRIZES ARE WON BY
VOTES ALONE! \.
Don't Initiate The Foolish Virgins
You remember the Biblical story OF
the ten Virgins who went forth to
meet the Bridegroom, five of them
were wise and five were foolish
"They that were foolish took theil
lamps, but put no oil in the vessel
And at midnight there was a cry
made Behold the Bridegroom cometh
go We out to meet him. Then all Of
these Virgins arose and trimmed theil
lamps. Andsthe foolish said unto tbs
wise. give US of your oil, for oui
lamps have gone out" But the wise
answered saying: "Not so, lest thers
be not enough for us and you; but &C
We rather to them that sell, and buy
for yourself"
The Candidates and Subscribers
who take advantage of THIS week
and put forth their best efforts, will
be like the wise Virgins; those who
do not make every minute count will
undoubtedly be sorry later. 1t will be
too late when the Judges make the
final count to say to the wise candi-
dates "give us of your VOTES"-go
We rather to prospective subscribers
NOW and amass a large total o.
VOTES for yourself, then you'll have
no cause for sorrow later.

County Costs Are I
Opposed AT Rally
In House Chamber
Non-Partisan Gathering Accuses
Delegates Of Running Away
-Edmonds Holds Courtesy

Several hundred citizens and tar
payers of Montgomery County de.
seconded upon the Maryland Genera
Assembly at Annapolis Tuesday ts
protest what they termed excessive
expenditures in the form of 16 resolu-
tons approved by the Non-P Partisan
Taxpayers League.
Barnard Welsh, Rockville lawyer
and leader among county Republi-
cans, acts as chief spokesman Of the
group. He sharply rebuked the mem
bers of the Montgomery County dele
cation, with the exception of Walter
Dawson for not being present to meet
the gathering and accused the absen-
tees of bringing around the corridors
and afraid to come in"
DR.. George L. Edmonds, a Demo-
crat and chairman of the delegates
in the House, explained that he had
not been formally notified Of the
assembly and believed that out of
courtesy the matter should have been.

bers Of the delegation who outnum-
Der the Republicans A to /. He char
acterized the gathering as a waste of
time and money, particularly in view
of the fact that the bond issue ques-
ton is now dead and o General reduc-
ton in county COVER mt expenses
has been promised b Democratic
administration.
The recommendations of the league,
as presented by Mr.. Welsh, disap-
prove authorization of any additional
county bonds at the present session of
the General Assembly, the repeal of
the acts creating permanent assess
ment board, a disbursement commit
tee, the Office of juvenile judge, the
supervisor of county aid, and Of laws
increasing the salaries of elective
county officials and the sections of
the act permitting the County Com
missioners of Montgomery ITO de-
veiop private property with county
funds"
Other recommendations would call
for enactment Of measure requiring
the county commissioners to condemn
any property which would not be
purchased at private sale for $1,000
or less, and would ask reduction Of
ten per cent in the salaries of all
school teachers and of all county en-
ployes or officials, other than those
mentioned in the resolution, whose
salaries have been set by the General
Assembly.
Albert E. James, Chevy Chase, an
attorney, said the meeting had been
called TO discuss proposed bond
issue Of approximately 100000. OF
this proposed sum, he asserted, about
100000 had fallen by the wayside
through popular indignation"
Others who spoke were Allan Far
quhar and Bowie F.. Waters.

Rural Montgomery County as repre-
sented at the sixty-frst annual Farm
ers Convention at Sandy Spring Sat
urday left no doubts as to its stand
in regard to further bond issues when
a resolution opposing such program
was vociferously adopted in the pres
ence of E. Brooke Lee, county adj
ministration leader, DIR. George L.
Edmonds, chairman of the county
delegation in the House and other
prominent administration workers.
The convention was primarily COM
posed of farmers of the Olney, Lay
louisville and Colesville districts, al
though the afternoon session saw
many aspiring political leaders, Re-
publican, anti-organization and adj
ministration district bosses and work
ers almost outnumbering the bona-fide
tillers of the soil. Whatever the politi-
cal complexity of the crowd however,
the anti-bond issue sentiment heavily
prevailed and few were they who
went home to do their milking or bank
their furnaces without sensing that
what started out to be farmers
forum had resulted in real political
campaign battle, of the modern Mont.
gomery County vintage.
In all fairness to Major Lee, who
defended the county from the at,
tacks made by the preceding speaker
F. Barnard Welsh, Rockville attorne,
and vigorous Republican opponent Of
the local Democratic administration
the debate on taxation" was all over
before he entered the closely packed
Sherwood High School gymnasium.
From the general tenor of remarks
made when the resolution was offered
and temporarily withdrawn prior to
the debate, even the most unbiased
spectator could see that any proposal
of further bond issue would meet with
certain defeat. The mention of bond
issue Saturday was like waving the
proverbial red flag in front of herd
of cows.
Mr.. Welsh, who spoke first on the
subject of taxation and county gov
eminent, went after the county adj
ministration with hammer and tongs,
particularly singing out for attack
Maj. Lee, Lacy Shaw, president of the
Board of County Commissioners and
Dr. Edmonds. Mr.. Welsh started his
address by citing that "since Brooke
Lee discovered Montgomery County in
1920" the bonded indebtedness has in
creased to more than 10 per cent Of
the taxable basis, which he said was
beyond the standard Of safety In
government.
He claimed that the bonded in
debtedness had jumped from $751;
900 in 1920 to $S,861 ,431.19 plus the
suburban sanitary and park and
planning bonds of nearly ten million.
