tinue their work at their homes. Yes,
there are still a few people to whom
ambition means something, in spite of
the New Deal.
Every year fire takes its toll among
farm buildings. A precaution has
been sent out by the University of
Maryland Extension Service show
ing how important it is to provide
for some means of fire prevention
around buildings which can be easily
and quickly called into use.
They suggest water hydrant in
the barn, garage or hog house, or rum
ming water in the residence.
Where running water in buildings
is impossible, it is our suggestion to
have a dam below the spring house
or a small stream on the property.
Several farm homes could have been
saved in this community by the Oak
land fremen had there been a water
supply on the farm ready when the
emergency arose.
The Oakland fire fighters are al
ways ready to render assistance where
ever it is possible for the truck to go,
but they are powerless to extinguish
a big fire without water.
Seems to me, a small dam on a
farm is essential.
Crowding of school buses was
brought to the attention of the grand
jury on Tuesday morning after Judge
Robb noticed such a condition en-
route to Oakland.
1t seems they not only make them
ride in a "patrol wagon" without
windows, but they give them intense
training in acting like New Yorker
on a crowded subway. They are
"straphangers" without any straps.

the school board. To illustrate: If the
total levy is 5000, 100000 and the
county levy for schools is 100000
and if the treasurer has collected
$50, 100000 of the levy he would pay
over to the school board one-fourth
on November LIST, or before that time
if the money is collected-S20,0 00 90,
and he could in this circumstance do
the same under the old law. But, now,
if the treasurer has only collected
100000 he could only pay over to
the school board 2Oft of $8O,OOOOO
instead of 259o. The balance would
be deferred until the taxes are COL
lected. The object of the law is to
keep the county treasury from being
drained by Mr.. Rathbun in times of
stress when tax collections are run
ming behind schedule. In ordinary
times, this year for instance the law
has no effect because tax collections
are up to schedule, or possibly ahead.
A few years ago there were thousands
of dollars of orders on the county
treasurer held by citizens of the
county which could not be taken up
because the schools were keeping the
treasury drained. This made the
teachers preferred creditors and en-
abled them to draw their full pay up
! to date while other claimants were
denied any consideration. The present
law does not hurt the teachers no mat
ter what they have been told, and no
teacher or citizen in favor of sound
financial methods and fair play could
be opposed to the law. If tax collec-
lions should lag again our teachers
will draw their proportionate share
of pay due them from taxes collected
! to date, and other citizens having
claims can do likewise.
Mr.. Rathbun cites Sections Sc of
Article n of the Code of Public Cen
eral Laws, providing for monthly pay
ments to the treasurer of the county
board of education, page 26 of the
1927 edition of Maryland Public
School Laws, as being the law pre-
vious to June 1, 1885, concerning pay
ments of County public school funds
implying that l was responsible for
change in this. While as a matter
of fact my amendment did not in any
way apply to this General Law but
solely to the Local Law above refer
red to. The local law as set out in the
Code of Public Local Laws for Gar
rett county has been in effect since
1890, and so far as know, the teach
ers have since that time been receiv-
ing their salaries monthly. And if the
money is not available to pay them
at this time, it may be in order to ask
Mr.. Rathbun to explain the reason
why. AS my amendment to the local
law in no way affects the time pay
ments are to be made by the county
treasurer to the county board of edu-
cation and Mr.. Rathbun being familiar
with the laws, is aware of this fact.

THE PARAMOUNT PROBLEM

The Nautical Economic League, with
headquarters in Boston, Mass, is an or
ganizaton whose purpose is, to quote
its own words, "The purpose of the
National Economic League is to create
an informed and disinterested leader
ship for public opinion--a leadership
that is free from partisan bias or class
interest and that will be accepted as
representing the best thought of this
country The league is composed of
representative men from each state and
has on its membership many of the out
standing educators, thinkers, indus
trialists, and economists in the United
States.
In recent QUESTIONABLE, over IS per
cent of the leagues members agreed
that the subject of organized crime was
one that ought to be more seriously
considered by the nation A letter
from the league headquarters says
many of the members, however, think
that the problem is SO closely related
to the question of Efficiency and Econ
omy in Government that it ought rather
to be considered as part of the latter
subject In other words, they think
that the best way of attacking the
problem of organized crime lies in
seeking to improve the personnel and
machinery of our government
There seems to be no question that
public sentiment would support prop
erly directed movement for efficient
democracy The cardinal problem, as
DR.. Sheldon Glueck points out in his
book, Crime and Justice is TO mo-
tivate and guide that volition and make

LIFE WORTHLESS WITHOUT PER
SONAL LIBERTY.

There is SO much discussion these
days in the press and over the radio re-
garding the need for a changing form
of government in America that the av-
erage man and woman may become
very much confused. 1t frequently is
difficult to distinguish between funda-
mental, sound reasoning and that which
is based on false premises.
George E. Sokolsky advances a
worthwhile thought in the August
number of the Atlantic Monthly in
discussing the advantages and disad-
vantages of the capitalistic system. So
kolsky said:
THE capitalistic system is most per-
fectly developed in the United States,
Great Britain, France, the Scandinavian
countries, Holland. Switzerland and
Szechoslovakia These are, in exact
parallel, the most democratic countries
in the world.
In Communist, Fascist, and pre-cap-
italist countries, democracy does not
exist"
In other words, in those countries
where the capitalistic system is most
highly developed, there is the greatest
degree of personal liberty. And where
Communism, Fascism and the authori-
tartan form of government is all-pow-
erful, there is found the smallest de-
gree Of personal liberty.
Few people will deny that there are
grave abuses under the capitalistic sys-
tenn. There are great injustices that
should, by all means, be corrected But
under the capitalistic system the COM
mon man is gradually fighting his way
upward to higher standard of living
and to a greater enjoyment of the COM
forts and other good things of life. No
one can deny this who has had per-
sonal experience extending over the
past quarter Of century. There have
been tremendous strides forward in the
standard Of living in America, caused
largely by gradual climb in the av-
erage wages paid to the working man
This again cannot be denied by anyone
who has given the subject honest
study.
Much remains to be done. There is
altogether too much crime and the con-
ditions that cause it must be corrected
Even though the standard of living here
is high, it is not yet high enough, and
more of the good things Of life must be
spread over a greater and ever increas-
ing number of our citizens until it can
be truthfully said that every man
woman and child in America has equal
justice and opportunity But in striv-
ing to accomplish these splendid re-
suits let us be careful that we do not
miss the way and wander onto path
way that will lead the nation and our
selves to destruction, with the loss OF
all our present priced liberties
