WARNING
will Be JobIeSs in 2 Weeks
Unless ALLEGATION Is Made
for Their Salaries

Delay in the allotment OF
public works funds threatens the
Jobs of several thousand Govern.
ment employees.
Several of the Federal agencies
which received grants from the
Public Works Administration to
carry on their work are faced
with sudden reduction Of staffs
unless more funds are forthcom-
ing within two weeks.
Unless pay roll funds are ad-
vanced by the recently setup
Works Relief Administration more
than 1000 employees of the Coast
and Geodetic Survey will lose
their jobs. The Geological Survey
is faced with the same problem.
No reason for the delay in adj
vancing payrolls was given by ADJ
ministration leaders. y
Notice has been given to 2.400
temporary employees of the Coast
and Geodetic Survey that they
will be jobless at the end of this
month unless a works progress
ALLEGATION is received to pay their
salaries. IL
r. S. Patton Explains
R. S. Patton. director of the bu-
reau, explained:
1--WE expect to receive the allO-
cation eventually but since it APP
pears it might be delayed we
thought it only humane to give
the employees notice to save their
pennies to carry them over for
awhile in the event payment Of
their salaries is suspended"
Between three and four hundred
of the affected employees are sta
toned in Washington.
Under the original SO, 300, 900, 900
Public Works program. approx
mately one-third went to the CCC,
PWA, FERA, and other govern
mental agencies; one-third went
for non-Federal loan and grant
projects, and one-third for Fed
eral projects.
Evenly Divided
With CCC, FERA, Rural Reset
tlement, and other agencies pro-
vided for in separate funds, PWA
officials anticipate that the $780,
100000 ear-marked by Congress
for PWA will be approximately
evenly divided between Federal
and non-Federal projects.
With $3.50, 100000 for non-Fed-
eral projects, allotable on IS
per cent grant basis. municipalities
and other bodies would thus raise
approximately $3.50, 10000 to add
to the funds for providing employ
ment.
Works Progress Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins asserted the Ad-
ministration expects States, NUM-
cipalitieS and other bodies to pro-
vide "a much larger share" under
the new program.

"OLD POTATO"

First, the Boston Tea Party; then
Concord Bridge.
The revolt against the outrageous
potato-control bill was begun in New
Jersey, when Dean Carl Ackerman
and some sturdy American farmer
friends announced their intention of
raising potatoes in the manner in
which they have always been accus-
toned to raising then-as they
please.
Now Senator James W. Wadsworth
takes his stand on Concord Bridge
and announces to the unconstitutional
lists in control of the government:
81 intend to raise more than five
bushels of potatoes next year, and I
shall sell them where | please l will
not have the government tell me how
to run my farm"
This has the ring of the Constitu-
ton in it!
1t was AL Smith who once affec-
tionately called Franklin D. Roosevelt
"Old Potato"
Clairvoyance that is almost un-
canny!

HITTING THE LITTLE
FELLOW

Tax laws designed to punish big
business, under the guise Of revenue
producing measures, may wreck their
principal damage on little business and
on the little fellow-the wage-earner,
the small investor, the white-collar
worker.
In addition, they may make it i'm
possible for the little business and the
little fellow ever to go ahead-to
progress, to prosper, to grow.
A recent editorial in the Los Ange
les Times said: "This is big country
accustomed to doing things in big
way. To dwarf such a heritage would
be in truth to return US to the horse
and buggy days. To go forward, to
explore, investigate, experiment, to
attain the heights by trial and error
is expensive but necessary to human
progress.
"The small, poorly financed business
or individual is often an initial step
ping stone to great things. The poor
man becomes rich; the small business
grows and one day is big business
boasting a worthwhile heritage of ac-
complishment There has been incen-
tive all along the line.
at may be wrong, but success, busi-
ness success at least, is predicted upon
financial independence. To rule that
the small and struggling shall never
grow big and aggressive is to knock
the props out from under our national
habit and set us back a century,"
1t seems that the whole aim of
politically-minded persons today is to
punish, to discourage and to prevent
success, to dwarf achievement, to
stifle initiative, to throttle ambition, to
poison the springs of enterprise. We
raise our taxes on ."bigness' to the
point where man or a corporation,
once it gets beyond the size of a corner
grocery, is just working for the tax
collector. We pass regulatory laws
giving political job holders, not execu-
tives and stockholders, the final say as
to business practices and operations.
Whether this represents fascism,
communism, socialism, or any other
"ism," it is directly opposed to every
American tradition. And it is a threat
to the future of every principle for
which cur forefathers fought.

CountyAgent's Column
Lawns Should be Fed to Develop
Proper Growth
J. H. CARTER


Attention of home owners is called
at this time Of the year to the posi-
bilities for starting new lawn or i'm
proving the quality and growth of an
old one, according to Walter R. Bal
lard, horticulturist for the University
of Maryland Extension Service. With
the coming of fall rains, he points out,
lawn grasses resume active growth,
and for this reason home owners
should avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to reseed or thicken up the sod
of an old lawn through appropriate
feeding.
Lawns may be fed by means of
chemical or organic fertilizers, accord
ing to Mr.. Ballard. Chemical ferti-
lizers, such as sulfate of ammonia or
nitrate of soda, may be applied as a
top dressing at the rate of two or three
pounds of fertilizer for every thousand
square feet of lawn. Danger of burn
ing the lawn can be obviated by mix
ing the fertilizer with three to four
times the quantity of compost, sand
or gravel. Well rotted manure may
also be used if the weed seeds have
been killed by composing.
Those preferring organic fertilizers
should use mixture of equal parts
of bone meal and pulvarized sheep ma
nure at the rate of ten to fifteen
pounds of fertilizer to every thousand
square feet of lawn.
In starting new lawn it should be
remembered that good grass, like most
other crops, is produced on good soils.
For this reason any land that is to be
planted in grass should be literally
supplied with phosphates before the
seeding begins and the phosphates
should be thoroughly mixed with the
soil.

Study of Locally Written Books In
Local Schools Is Urged In Let
ten Written By Mr.. Charles E.

HOye to the Board OF Education.
Mr.. Charles E. Hoye, native Garrett
countian, after an absence of many
years, returned to his native heath
over a year ago and has been doing
some literary and historical work for
the local press since that time. Re-
Gently Mr. Hoye addressed a letter to
the County Superintendent of Shoots
and has furnished The Republican a
copy of the communication, which is
printed herewith.
The letter:
Oakland, September 4, 1885.
Dear Sir:-Having been a pupil and
teacher in Garrett county about forty
years ago, | am well aware of the
rapid Improvement of our schools,
and especially of the progress made
under your supervision. Doubtless
you would be first to urge that the ed
ucational advance continue.
May I invite your attention to what
appears to me to be a minor defect
of the education you and your teach
ers give our people?
Three books have been written and
published by citizens of this county,
viz: The Ejectment Law of Mary
land" 1928, by John McHenry; "For-
ty-four Years of the Life of a Hun
ter" 1859, by Meshack Browning, and
".Wild Flowers of the Alleghenies," by
J. E. Harmed. Perhaps we should in
clude in this list Jacob Browns book
of 1896, written by Garrett county
man residing in Cumberland.
Of these books, Browning's work
has the most popular appeal, being
not only the hunting classic of our
own glades and forests, but also some
account of the early customs and his
tory of what is now Garrett county.
Nevertheless, as you who are charg-
ed with the public education of this
county know, Life of a Hunter" is
but little read by the present genera
ton. 1t is true the book is in some
high school libraries, but, for exam
pie, there is no copy in the Sang Run
school library, only a few hundred
yards from where the author lived
and wrote.
In the Garrett County Public Ii
brary at Oakland there is a copy, but
like the Bible of the Middle Ages,
which was chained to the pulpit, Life
of a Hunter" cannot be taken from
the room.
One more example: Last summer l
visited the old McMullen farm at
Blooming Rose, where Mary McMul-
len was reared and courted. l asked
the young lady of the house if she had
read Browning's book, especially Of
the courtship at that place. She had
not!
Would it not be well for our young
people to read the wholesome story
of Meshack and Mary and one less of
the modern novels the ynow read?
Very sincerely,
CHARLES E. HOYE.

TWO STATESMEN TALK

Constitution Day in September,
1885, seemed to have special signii-
canoe to the people of the United
States. From one end of the country
to the other meetings were held by
patriotic and thoughtful citizens to
observe this momentous date in Amer
ican history. At each assemblage the
speakers emphasized the fact that our
Constitution must be preserved if we
are to maintain traditional demo-
cratic government in America.
The added significance was given no
doubt by recent attacks on the Con-
stitution, often coupled with criticisms
of the United States Supreme Court
for its constructive Interpretation Of
our basic law. Defense of the Consti-
tuition has by no means been a parti
san issue. Everywhere thoughtful
men, Republicans and Democrats
alike, have lifted their voices in de-
fense of fundamental American law.
Perhaps no more significant exem-
plifcation of this fact is to be found
than in the meeting Of the Union
League Club in Chicago where ad-
dresses were made by two ex-gov-
ernors of the United States, both men
of national reputation, one of them
a Republican in politics and the other
a Democrat. The speakers referred to
are former Governor Frank o. Low
den, of Illinois, and former Governor
Joseph B. Ely, of Massachusetts. Each
speaker criticized so-called New Deal
tendencies to move from constitutional
government toward autocracy, by
strengthening control of the nation in
Washington at the expense of the state
and local governments.
Governor Ely declared that the
plan for control at Washington is
scheme which makes the federal gov
ernment master of our souls. 1t is
complete reversal of the Jeffersonian
theory of government. 1t creates a
government engaged in bringing us
all to the will of the man who decides
just how much cotton and wheat shall
be raised, how many yards of cloth
shall be manufactured, how many
hours we shall work, what we shall be
paid and how we shall spend our mon
ey." The present tendency, he pre-
dicted, would develop a dictatorship
with an army of shoppers and spies,
under the name of Investigators, to
enforce the new bureaucratic regula-
tions. 49,.
Governor Lowden pointed out the
danger of a proposed constitutional
amendment to permit Washington to
regulate hours and wages, industry,
trade and commerce. Such an amend
ment, he added, would invalidate the
Bill Of Rights and principles of free
government which have been a thous-
and years in developing. Continuing,
he said: "Under our system we have
reached a higher standard of living
than has ever existed anywhere. The
stage is set for progress greater than
we have ever seen. Are we to discard
the American form of government for
imported philosophers old at the time
and discarded by the trainers of our
Constitution ?"
The warning on the anti-constitu-
tional tendencies of the times, coming
The Republican., 1935-09-26

from two men of opposite political
faith, is in itself significant. But SIM
liar warning arose on Constitution
Day from a Thousand sources. Let US
heed the warning before it is too late.
