THE BE-DEVILED DEMO
Gratis

A caustic description of the situa-
ton at Washington which may help
to arouse the Democratic leaders to a
realization of its dangers, and to
renewed effort to fashion a balanced
financial program, for adoption after
March 4 if not before, has been print
ed by Frank R. Kent, veteran political
writer in the Baltimore Sun. His rec
ord over many years as a frequent
defender of Democratic figures and
causes adds to the sharpness OF his
present attack. Mr. Kent writes:
at is now frankly admitted that no
tax bill at all will be passed at this
session, no effort made to bring the
government finances into approximate
balance. This, in effect, is the gist OF
the last Democratic declaration. 1t
ends all pretense of Democratic
program, throws into the discard the
public pledges jointly made by Demo-
cratic senators in December and
makes a complete joke of the Demo-
cratic conference with President-elect
Roosevelt, after which program for
balancing the budget was proclaimed.
This program is now officially scuttled
by the very men who proposed it."
"The Democratic party, which DOM
mates this Congress, is now left with
no legislative plans whatever, with no
sense of direction, and no pretense OF
order. They have rejected the sales
tax. They refuse to touch--or even
talk about-the veterans compensa-
ton load. They have blocked the
proposed consolidation and mergers
of bureaus until we can do it our
selves They have deserted their
own increase income tax suggestions.
They are reduced to whining about
the faults, flaws and failings of Mr..
Hoover, and promising to make great
economies in the appropriation bills,
knowing full we'll that the bulk of
these are paper economies, and that
next December a deficiency appropri-
alton bill will restore most of the
cuts"
With all the adroitness in the world
a President-elect cannot exert the
same influence over Congress that he
may exert after being established in
the White House and becoming the
actual rather than the potential head
of the government. Yet it is obvious
that the situation which has developed
in Washington constitutes a new and
graver challenge to Franklin Roose-
velt's powers of leadership.

spent as follows: Funds obtained
through the two-cent tax shall be
spent in the construction of lateral
roads, and funds obtained through
the one-half cent tax shall be spent
for road bond retirement.
County Plan
The county commissioners bill,
which was brought before the House
by petition signed by Is members,
would have permitted Baltimore city
to take 80 percent of the revenues
from the one and one-half cent tax
to spend as it saw fit on road main
tenance, and would have divided the
remainder proportionately between
the counties to be spent by the county
commissioners Of the respective coun-
ties. The remainder of the four-cent
tax would have been under the super
vision of the State Roads Commission,
the same as under the administration
bill.
What action the Senate will take
on the administration plan is some
what matter of speculation as yet,
although the hackers of that proposal
express confidence that as large a
majority will be found in that body
for the bill as was found in the house
today.
No Women Jurors
The House rejected the proposal to
permit women to serve on juries in
Maryland.

"Be it enacted by the General
Assembly of Maryland: That no
person can qualify or teach in any
public school supported in whole or in
part by the state of Maryland or any
subdivision of the state until such
person shall have first taken the oath
of allegiance to the United States of
America"
That measure was referred to the
Senate committee on education of
which Senator Ridgely P. Melvin,
Dem, Anne Arundel county, is
chairman.
To Control Liquor Traffic
The plan of the crusaders, anti
prohibition organization, to provide
state system of control of the liquor
traffic in the event national prohibi-
ton is repealed, was introduced in
the House of Delegates Tuesday.
The measure was introduced by
Delegate Douglas Huntley Gordon
(Dem., Baltimore Second), and was
referred to the committee on ways
and means.
Provides For Group OF Three
1t would set up state liquor COM
mission, to be composed of three
persons, which would take over a
monopoly of the liquor traffic in the
state, would regulate the establish
ments manufacturing and selling
liquor and would fix the wholesale and
retail prices of alcoholic beverages
sold in the state.
The members of the commission
would not begin receiving a salary
until the national repeal amendment
is ratified.
The bill would require all firms or
persons intending to manufacture or
sell alcoholic beverages in the state
to register and pay a registration fee
of $25 year.

BURKE TAX SALE IS
DECLARED ILLEGAL
Delinquent Levies For 1892 to
Be Sold This Year Under
Court Decision

Bowbells, N. D., Aug. 18.-(P)-As
the result of state supreme court
decision which held the notice in
Burke county as published was not a
legal notice, the 1882 delinquent tax
sale will be reheld at the same time
as the 1888 delinquent tax sale, H. F..
Magedanz, Burke county auditor, said
Friday.
The supreme court decision revers-
ed decision in the Burke county dis
trict court in case involving the
Burke County Farmers Press and the
Burke county auditor.
The law provides delinquent tax
sales shall be held on the second Tues
day in December of each year. In
1882 the second Tuesday was the 18th
of December. The legal notice said
the sale would be held Dec. 8.
The notice, as published, was not a
legal notice, the supreme court de-
cision said A sale could not be held
on Dec. because that date was not
the second Tuesday, and the sale
could not be held on the 18th day of
December for no notice of sale on that
date was published as required by law,
the supreme court held
The district court directed the coun-
ty auditor to hold the sale Dec. Is,
and the sale was conducted. The
county auditor appealed to the SUI
preme court which held the sale not
legal. Magedanz said the certificates
issued last Dec. 10, are void and will
have to be reissued at another sale.
