COUNTIES TO SEEK
AID FUND RETURN
ReaSSeSSment and Road
Control to Be Advocated
Again in 1887.
BY JACK ALLEN,

FREDERICK, Md, July ga oe-
mand for immediate reimbursement
of funds they have advanced for direct
relief work in their respective COM
munities is to be made upon the State
by the counties as soon as a conference
with Controller William S. Gordy, jr.,
can be arranged.
The decision to ask for payment
was first reached by the County Com
missioners' Association for the West
ern Shore of Maryland yesterday aft
ernoon and received the prompt in
dorsement of Eastern Shore associa-
ton officials in attendance at the
local meeting.
A letter from Gordy in which the
controller declared it might require
until October for State officials to OBJ
tain a definite idea of the amount that
will be raised by means of the new
relief tax program now in operation N
Maryland incited the movement.
Gross Receipts Levy SuppIanted.
Since the new program supplanted
the gross receipts levy on April l all
direct relief work in the counties has
been carried on by means of finances
advanced by the commissioner boards,
who have borrowed upon their con-
tingent funds or from other sources.
The money was to be repaid as
quickly as possible, but no assurances
have been received that the tax pro-
gram would raise the money estimated
to be needed in Maryland, the basis
on which the counties have made their
expenditures.
Secretary r. Mason Hill of Allegany
County finally wrote Gordy and re-
quested him to appear and inform the
association the amount that will be
forthcoming and when the money
would be available to the counties.
1t was explained by the controller
that returns from collection of the
relief taxes in April and May lead
us to believe that there will be ap-
proXimately and safely $3.50, 900 for
distribution to Baltimore and the
counties"
Many members felt that sum will not
be adequate to meet relief needs and
it was decided to send q committee
before Gordy at once to demand pay
ment of the funds that have been
advanced by the Western Maryland
counties.
1t was pointed out that many coun-
ties have had difficulty raising relief
moneys and cannot afford to expend
more than they will receive from the
State. D. A. Wolhnger, counsel TO
the Washington County commissioners
said his county would not be able to
advance funds beyond October l.
President A. Charles Stewart Of
Cumberland named Frank H. Karn,
Thomas j. Cullimore and A. H. Derr.
presidents of the commissioners of
Montgomery, Anne Arundel and Fred
erick Counties, respectively, TO repre-
sent the association in the conference
with the controller.

Governor Says Republican
Majority in State Will

Special Dispatch TO The Star.

0tcCihi DiSp2tCh W i ue 0tat.
Topeka, Kans., July 24.-Confi-
dentially predicting that Gov. ALI M.
Landon will carry Maryland In No.
vember by $4,000 votes, Gov. Harry
Nice arrived here yesterday with .
large delegation for the Republican
presidential notification ceremonies.
II have no hesitancy in saying" the
Governor told reporters. that my
State will be in the Landon column
this year. / believe a conservative
estimate of this majority in Mary
land would be $4,000 or more"
Gov. Nice carried the State by only
1000 votes but he was bucking the
powerful organization headed by for
mer Gov. Albert Ritchie.
The fight this time" he declared,
will be easier"
CHARGES Relief Politics.
The Governor made bitter attack
on the Federal Relief Administration
in his State, which he described as
riddled with politics.
use of relief money in Maryland,
as well as in other sections Of the
country" he said. constitutes the
most vicious prostitution of the pur-
poses for which public money has been
appropriated in our history.
Applicants for relief jobs are first
questioned concerning their political
Affiliations. If they are Republicans
nothing is said-they just don't get
the jobs.
"Over at the Tugwell project at
Beltsville, the workers are waylaid
as they come up for their pay en-
velopes by Democratic party workers
selling campaign buttons. II they
don't buy, they lose their jobs.
These factors make for q hard
fight, but l am confident the Landon
sentiment at home Is strong enough
to override the votes the opposition
will be able to get through the misuse
of public funds"
Cites Three Issues.
The Governor said there are three
clearly defined issues in Maryland.
]. The stabilization OF the monetary
system.
z. Protection OF the Federal Con-
stitution.
3. The elimination of waste and ex-
travagance in Government.
This fight." he said, must not be
primarily a fight between Republi-
cans and Democrats. 1t is, and must
be waged as an American hght. We
must conduct our campaign to bring
home to the voters the realization
that continuation of. the present gov
ernmental policies will spell national
bankruptcy. II we fail in this, our
children and our grandchildren will
have to foot the bill"
The Governor emphasized that the
campaign in Maryland will be con-
Quoted by the Republican organiza-
ton, but said they are counting on
the help of the independents.
Governor Nice was accompanied by
IS Maryland Republicans, including
Charles Runcka of Baltimore, Will
liam p. Lawson of the State Central
Committee, J. Wilson Ryon of Prince
Georges County, State Senator Harry
Legore, Charles Stewart OF Prince
Georges and Elmer Jarboe of ST.
