direct loss of $31,5OO to Montgomery
taxpayers.
A promise to prevent influx of the
criminal element into Montgomery
County and to wipe out any that
might exist, was made by James H.
Pugh, Democratic candidate for
States attorney.
Citing the most atrocious crime
ever committed in the section" the
shooting of Allen B. Wilson in Ia
koma Park by gangsters who mistook
his identity, he pointed out the need
for an increased police force. The
Fusion Party has neglected to con-
slider this point, he said. Pugh also
lauded Prescott for his work as
States attorney.
Roger j. Whitford, Washington and
Maryland attorney, denied Fusionist
charges that special privileges in land
purchases had been granted certain
members of the Democratic organiza-
ton by figures showing the county
paid less for land acquired from mem
bers of the party than other persons
had paid for adjacent land.
"The Fusionists are trying to make
a campaign issue of Brooke Lee,"
Whieford also charged, "when he pub
licly announced he was out of politics
last January"
Whiteford also charged that if the
Fusionists succeeded in abolishing the
SO front-foot assessment for sewer
and water construction work, the
money would have to be paid by the
county.
Capt. Joseph C. Cissel presided at
the rally, held at the Silver Spring

Tax Increase Is
Seen If 81 Auto
Tags Are Adopted
Impartial, Fact-Finding Com
mission, Says Other Revenue
Must Then Be Raised

If the charge for automobile license
tags is to be reduced to a uniform
fiat $500 fee on all but commercial
vehicles, then the taxpayer in the
county may look to an increase of
about five cents in his State tax rate
or else expect a drastic curtailment
in road construction and maintenance
in those sections through which he
daily travels. This statement comes
from the Commission on Government
al Efficiency and Economy, ian indie
pendent, fact-fnding organization, to
conduct impartial and scieutific re-
search in the field of Municipal and
State Government"
"The Commissioner of Motor We
hicles shows that of the 340,413 motor
vehicles licenses issued during the
fiscal year ended September 80, 1884,
total of 295,251 licenses were issued
for automobiles other than commerce
ial vehicles and the revenue from
those 295,251 licenses amounted to
$2,215,25O.
eff these licenses on other than
commercial vehicles had been issued
during 1884 at the uniform flat rate of
| $500 each instead of under the exist
ing schedule of rates, the total of
such license revenue would have
amounted to only $59O,502, loss of
81 ,624,748 or 70 per cent.
"Under a uniform fiat $500 license
fee as proposed, the State Roads Com
MISSIONS share of the Commissioner
Of Motor Vehicles funds would be re-
duced $1,137,324. To absorb this loss
State roads system would require cur
tailment of maintenance work and
also would likely curtail road con-
struction and reconstruction for which
the State Roads Commission now sets
aside portion of each years current
revenue. A curtailment of State reve-
nues used on road construction and re-
construction would also likely result
in reduction in the amount of Fed
eral aid now received for State high
ways, as the amount of the highway
grants by the Federal Government is
contingent upon the State for such
work.
eff the loss in revenue that would
be caused by decreasing the charge
for automobile license tags to uni
form flat $500 fee on all but CONNER
cial vehicles is not absorbed by reduc-
ing State and Baltimore City expend-
itures, then the loss from license fee
revenue would have to be offset by
other revenue. If direct taxation is the
method selected to offset the revenue
loss, then the Baltimore City tax rate
would be increased approximately five
cents and the State tax rate also
would be increased approximately
five cents. This would mean a tax in
crease of about ten cents for the tax
payer with property in Baltimore City
and an increase of about five cents for
the taxpayers with property in the
counties"

George Lamar Sees
Lewis AS Outstanding
Member Of Congress

George H. Lamar, Rockville lawyer

political activities, indorses Congress-
man David ]. Lewis in the following
letter to the Editor of The Sentinel:
Rockville, Md.
October 81, 1884.
Editor of Montgomery
County Sentinel:
In my opinion, it is a matter of
major Importance, both to the Sixth
Congressional District and to the Ma
tional Administration, that our pres
ent congressman, Honorable David j.
Lewis, should be reelected to Con-
gress. His industry and constructive
capacity were of great benefit in the
enactment of progressive legislation
in the Wilson administration. Since
then, his arduous labors along lines
vitality affecting the industrial and
social conditions in this country have
rendered him exceptionally we'll pre-
pared to aid in graphing with the
problems of this epochal period. His
active participation in constructive

decreased loss of revenue that would
be sustained by the So tags, would
mean that the State Roads Commits
sion would receive approximately
only 100000 less by the enactment
of So tag fee than in the previous
two years.

Nice said he was not criticizing the
honest banks, asserting that the banks
in Maryland are almost unanimously
honest and we'll managed.
With his arm IN sling, Mr.. Nice
at one point in his speech fired on
E. Brooke Lee, former Democratic
county leader. Referring to Mr.
Lees former membership on the State

might be expected that Montgomery
County would have good roads.
"But the only good roads built in

Joseph D. Baker Is
Won Over By Ability
Of Governor Richie

Joseph D. Baker, regarded as the
First Citizen of Frederick, has
warmly approved the candidacy Of
Gov. Albert C. Richie for another
term. Mr. Baker voted against Gov.
Richie three times because of a
disagreement over the Eighteenth
Amendment. And he is voting for
Richie this time because as he
says:
"These are serious times and
there are grave questions facing
both national and State govern
ments. The National Government is
operating largely under emergency
legislation that reaches over into
State government also and, more or
less directly, the States are work.
ing under the same emergency
legislation as the National Govern
ment. The question that the citi-
zens of Maryland face today is the
selection of the man best adapted
to meet these unusual situations.
Governor Richie has had fifteen
years experience in the Govern
ship nnd that experience alone
equips him splendidly for handling
the situation at present. I regard
Governor Richie as an unusually
able man and feel that he under
stands more about the State gov
eminent than any other man we
have in the State"

THE MOST. REMARKABLE thing
about this countrywide meeting
was the absence of democratic
tycoons on the platform and the pro-
gram. This was Republican meeting
and brother ants must perforce abide
awhile and wait their turn. We are at
a loss to explain why the ants were
thus sighted, particularly in view of
the fact that there are no Republicans
in Montgomery County this year.
They are called "Fusionists," we
would have you know.

WHILE WE HAVE ALWAYS held

u
" that you can't cross Democrat
and Republican and get a thorough
bred, one cannot detract from many
of the things the Fusionists advance
in support of their cause. We believe
many of their arguments are convinc-
ing. However, they have weak ticket
with the exception of several out
standing men. We do not see the
strength of Fusionism except as a
temporary political makeshift. The
Republican party leaders cannot be
expected to support an anti-Demo-
crat for an appointive office when a
deserving Republican seeks the same
job. 1t is not fair-it is illogical. Even
easy-going, sincere ants have been
badly hoodwinked by this G. o. P.
propaganda.

hardly likely. We pick Richie to beat
Nice. Minnesota to prove one of the

try. Max Baer to retain his champion
ship against any first contender. Nip
Ply Prescott and Clayton Watkins sure
winners. The Welsh-Woodward fight
may prove close. Over and above all
there will be hell of lot of split
tickets and they are always hard to
judge. Whoever wins, we are for pure
milk for babies, the execution of all
gangsters without trial, the Boston
Red Sox to win the American League
championship in 1885 and shorter and

Speaking Of
Things Political
By MoNTCo

A FORTUNATELY 700 CITIZENS
: of Montgomery County gathered
at the Rockville High School last Fri
day night to hear Harry Nice attack
the County and State Administration
and promise to "put a stop to the
Crucifxion of Maryland taxpayers. !"
The Republicans gave and got the
glad hand and anti-Democrats (who
form part of the Fusion movement)
received no recognition except where
inferred. 1t was an indication of what
will happen if the Republicans gain
power in Montgomery County and
Maryland on November 6. While Mr..
Nice did not resort, like Goodman
Boyd, to any "Tit- Willows" he did
use choice bits of the Kings English
which would have done credit to
Henry Ward Beecher. The followers
OF Hoover, Coolidge and Mr.. Nice put
on good show. There was a big
crowd and it was trimming over with
optimism. DR.. Nice has the happy
faculty of getting the attention of the
crowd. He tells good joke, and, like
most of the big criminal lawyers, he
knows all the tricks of the trade. Fri
day night, even with a disabled arm,
ne was combination of Harry Thurs
ton, Sherlock Holmes, William Jenn-
ings Bryan, Billy Sunday and Clar-
enee barrow. His remarks were ad-
dressed to Republicans of 1880, Re-
publicans of the vintage of 1884 and a
goodly sprinkling of Democrats who
came out to see what it was all about.

wrong but 20 did millions Of others,
and the jury may have felt that in
convicting insult 1t would have been
to single him out as q symbol, In
stead of rs an individual against
whom there might rest proof beyond
a reasonable doubt Of criminal wrong
doing.
In the light Of his acquittal. there
is room for speculation over his fate
had he remained in the country to
face the music after the crash. Had
his trial followed Immediately on his
indictment, there Is no knowing what
part passion would have played in
appraisal OF the evidence. But insult
feared it, and ran to the ends Of the
earth to escape it. When brought
back under guard, a tired and sick
and hopeless old man, he had lost
more than the crash Of his empire
took from him. And perhaps that,
too, played part in the jury's verdict
Of acquittal Anything like revenge,
on insult, would seem empty indeed.

and important committee assignments.
The man who can enter the Demo-
cratic caucus with q sizable array Of
votes for Speaker has something to
trade for a lesser though important
post in the Democratic organization Of
the House. This may explain In part
the long list of candidates whose
names are likely to be advanced for
Speaker when the Democrats as
semble.
The President, If he sought to throw
his influence to one Of the candidates
or against another, might open Pan
dora's box Of troubles for himself and
for the administration. That his in
fiuence and that Of persons close to
him will be sought may be expected.
But that he will mix up in this family
party seems improbable. During the
coming Congress the President will
have many important matters Of legis-
lation on his program, and he needs
the support of the whole House, un-
weakened by factional jealousies.

The insult Acquittal.

This" the elder insult Is quoted
as saying, "is the beginning Of my
vindication." As far as jury verdicts
are concerned, Mr.. insult may be
right, although there are Federal
and State indictments against him
yet to be tried or dismissed. But
there is still a difference between
vindication at the hands Of jury
and vindication in the minds Of the
public which witnessed the crash of
the insult empire or went down with
1t. 1t is to be doubted that insult
will live to see the day when he can
claim that he has been vindicated, re-
gardless of the future processes Of the
law and the courts.
His trial in Chicago resulted in .
verdict Of acquittal that probably sur
prised most of those who followed it
and the events which preceded it.
The specific charges involved use Of
the mails to defraud, much Of the
evidence consisting of the prospec-
fuses which were sent to thousands
upon thousands of insult investors.
In the light of the bleak morning
after, the claims that were made to
tempt investment must have seemed
hollow enough. But the jury could
not look at these claims through the
eyes Of the present, but was forced to
regard them against the rosy back
ground Of the boom era, when mir
acles in the transmutation Of paper
into gold were being worked every
day. Tho question was whether In
sull was guilty Of fraudulent intent, or
merely bad judgment. He guessed
