THE CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT.

1t is almost impossible to conceive
even in this day of topsy-turvy thinking
of a bill designated as the Corrup
Practices Act, receiving the votes of 9:
yeas in the House recently when thl:
piece of legislation was introduced.
Some of the sections and they number
2e. are of such ridiculous nature, 6
candidate qualifying would hardly know
whether he had been elected to office
or merely named as the outstanding nit
wit on the ticket.
The bill does not allow certain candi-
dates to have a campaign manager. No
candidate will dare express an opinion
of his opponent for fear of the outcome
placing him under heavy bond. He dare
not give any credentials that fit him for
office, that would influence voters,
either for or against. Thus on and on
relating at random, the bill says much
but if any of the provisions were ever
observed it would be a miracle in poll
tics.
But an amendment to the above goes
further when it states: at shall be
unlawful for any corporation or any
officer or any employe thereof, or any
member of firm or trustee or any
member of any association or any other
employer to direct or coerce directly or
indirectly any employe to vote for or
or group of persons in any such pri-
mary or to discharge or threaten to dis
charge any such employe or to increase
or decrease the salary or wages of an
employe or otherwise promote or de-
mote him because of his failure to vote
for any particular candidate or group
of candidates; nor shall any employe
be requested, directed or permitted to
canvass for or against any candidate
or candidates during any of the hours
within which the salary of said en-
ploye as an employe is being paid or
aSieeO W Oe pdlu, etS -NlCe 4dl SuilS
there for some damage lawyers.
If the Legislature wants to really pass
a corrupt practices act it can do so
without so much verbiage in the mean
ingless phrases set forth in the one
adopted by the House by centerng their
attention to the election itself, seeing
that every ballot is accounted for, tabu-
lations correctly made, and not allowing
any initiating of ballots to be
made. More important still do not al
low one man to make out a ticket fol
voter. Any person not able to make
out ticket is not entitled to a ballot
unless he is blind. Then let two of the
election manages serve him in the
presence of each other. Tickets should
not leave the balloting place even if
voter has to be run through an en-
closure like a dipping vat depostine
his ballot at the other end.
If voting such legislation as the abov
is sample, the boys ought to call i
quits and come back home. There is M
use in getting such stuff on the Law
books of poor old Mississippi, even i
they are getting $3.50 a day for service
They will do less harm at home DRAWN
funny pictures or trying to get on tn
relief rolls of Uncle Sam.

Flooded Streams In The Savage
Mountain Area Cause Damage

Flood waters that coursed their way
through several valleys of the lower
Georges Greek region last Friday,
after a cloudburst which centered over
the lower section of Savage Mountain
in this county, did considerable damage
to farm lands, roads and bridges near
Homecoming and Moscow, in Allegany
county and in the extreme eastern part
of Garrett county.
The storm caused heavy damage in
the Laurel Run community where sew
eral bridges were washed out after
outbuildings and farm crops were
swept away by the roaring stream.
The creek, rising in this county, went
over its banks in many places, washing
out sections of roads in both Garrett
and Allegany counties.
Fifty or more families were endan-
gered for a time Mrs. Frances Faz-
enbaker was assisted to safety by
Cecil Warwick, a neighbor, as flood
waters came within inches of flooding
her home.

TWO HELD FOR ACTION OF
SEPTEMBER GRAND JURY
Charged With Attempted Extor-
ton Within Period of a Week

Clarence Paugh, of Vindex, and E.
A. Lemasters, of the Gengy Church
community, both of whom are charged
with attempted extortion, are each be-
ing held under $1,000 bond for their
appearance before the September
grand jury. The alleged attempts at
eXtortion were made within a period
of two weeks, and are probably the
only cases of this nature to be brought
to the attention of the States officers
since the formation of the county.
Paugh was released under $500 bond
at a preliminary hearing before JUS
tice C. F. White and asked for hear
ing on July 81, when he said he would
have witnesses here to prove his in
nocence. At the hearing on the above
date, and after the State had pre-
scented it's case, the defendants attor-
ny said they would take the matter be-
fore the grand jury, and Paugh was
released under $1,000 bond.
Paugh was arrested by Constable
Roy Sewers, of Kitzmiller, on war
rant issued at the instance of Rich
ard Custer, 80-year-old stockman and
farmer of the Swanton community.
1t is alleged that Paugh threatened to
blow up Clusters home unless $500
was placed beneath certain rock by
a certain time.
Lemasters' hearing was held on
Monday. He is alleged to have written
a letter to Arnett Gauer demanding
$500 to keep silent regarding the
destruction by fire of a barn on the
Gauer farm.
