consideration of number OF
measures dealing with local financial
and economic questions and problems

Three Statewide bills restricting

utor, was before the House Ways and

ten.
In addition, Joseph A. Cantrel, Flu
sion Delegate from Montgomery, is
drafting a bill which would save the
county 5000 annually by eliminating
the additional salary allowance made
for the county board member who
serves as supervising commissioner
for the County Home.
At the same time, Cantrel is glrd-
ing for fight in behalf of several
other economy measures which he has
introduced, but which do not meet
with the approval of State Senator
Stedman Prescott. Cantrel said he
also plans to oppose two Of Prescott's
bills dealing with county patronage.
The Legislature had before it bill

It further would provide that one
third of the funds be distributed
among the counties on the mileagt

population of the counties, and the
other in proportion to the assessable
basis of the various units.
Under the present set-up, the
County Commissioners complain
poorer counties with many miles Cd

more than a just proportion of the

Walton League, as well as any num-
Der Of others not affiliated with this
sportsmen's association, want to know
what Governor Nice proposes to do
with funds derived from hunting and
fishing licenses. Many people here in
the county feel that the situation at
present is rather muddled. Will fees
continue to revert back to the fund
for stocking and maintenance of wild
life or will the money thus derived be
spent for State roads or used for
some purpose totally alien to conser-
walton? Woe to the politicians if they
decide to permit the use of these fees
for any reason other than the perpet-
uation and care of game and fish in
Maryland. A lot of people take their
hunting and fishing more seriously
than their other activities. They are
charged fee when they want to
chase rabbit or hook catfish.
They want their moneys worth.
WITH ALL TRUTHFULNESS
there really should be a one-year
moratorium on all hunting and fishing
in the State. If it were not for so
many selfish so-called "sportsmen
this idea might be carried out. The
old axiom 'you can't eat your cake
and have it too," might well be
paraphrased in to "you can't bag your
quail and keep flushing it too"

ROCKVILLE TAXPAYERS ARE
awaking to the fact that the tele-
phone companies and the electric
power companies are exercising a
strangle-hold upon consumers. In this
town people are actually threatening
to remove their telephones unless toll
rates, particularly to Washington
City, are decreased. Just one of the
signs that men and women do get
"fed up" on certain propositions. By
this time every public utility should
realize that the very mention of the
name "public utility" amounts to
waving a red flag in the face of an
angry populace.
