The Constitutional Amendments

To the Editor of The Republican.
In addition to voting for candi-
dates for President and Vice-President
of the United States and for Congress
men the voters of Maryland will be
asked on November 3rd to pass upon
three proposed Constitutional amend
ments. Some consideration should be
given to these.
The first of these provides for an
additional judge in the Sixth Judicial
Circuit, composed of Frederick and
Montgomery counties This amendment
has been proposed on account of the
increase in court work in the two coun-
ties named and does not affect Garrett
county. However, it is necessary that
a Statewide vote be taken on the
question as that is the only way in
which the Constitution can be amend
ed
The second proposed amendment is
an economy measure. Under the pres
ent system it is necessary to hold a
special election every time a State
Senator or member Of the House of
Delegates dies or resigns or vacancy
occurs for any reason. This is an ex-
pensive proposition. If the amendment
is adopted the Governor would be en-
powered to fill any vacancy of this
kind which might occur, the appoint
ment being made from the same politi-
cal party as that to which the Senator
or Delegate belonged and upon the rec
ommendation of the County State
Central Committee. No expensive spe-
cial election would thus be necessary.
The third proposed amendment
would make it possible for the Legisla-
ture to enact law doing away with
double liability on the stock of State
banks. Under the present system,
stockholders, in addition to paying the
full value Of their stock are liable for
an assessment equal to the par value
again in event Of the failure of the
bank. This has not been found to &C.

Copy of The Republican Recalls
Memories For V. E. Albright

A copy of The Republican, contain
ing the announcement of the Garrett
county scholarship made available
through the generosity of Victor E.
Albright, of Madison, Wisconsin, for
mer resident of the GAINESVILLE COM
munity, brought back memories Of
younger days to Mr.. Albright.
In letter to this office in which he
subscribes to The Republican, Mr.. AL
bright has the following to say:
"This paper reminds me of the time
when 1 used to saddle the old mare
and ride to GAINESVILLE for the paper
on Saturdays. My father, a lifelong
subscriber of The Republican, must
always have his paper for Sunday.
How he and my mother would sit
around the fire reading almost every
line of it. And how heartily he approx
ed Of everything said in favor of the
Republican party. He was always a
faithful member of the G. o. P, and
am just as firm believer in it as he
was"

VOTE +! {! =

The greatest possession of a
free people is the ballot-the
right to vote. 1t is defender of
our liberties and a weapon to be
welded against injustice.
Yet that heritage is not priced
by millions of otherwise good
citizens. In most elections less
than half of the persons who are
entitled to vote do so. One re-
suit of this is that public officials
are elected by minorities-the
vote of the majority is silent.
Another and worse result is a
tagging of interest by the people
in a thing that vitality affects us
all-our government.
What the Constitution means
to you will be demonstrated No
vember 8. On that day you
should go to the polls. You
have the right to secret ballot
and there is no way under heaven
for anybody to ascertain how
you voted.
Don't let them scare you.
In Germany the right to vote
has been virtually eliminated.
At the last election in that once
proud nation, citizens had a
choice of endorsing Hitler or of
leaving the ballot blank, there
being no opponent.
That is true of Italy, of Rus
STA, of Greece, of a dozen other
powers.
Here in America we still have
the right which preserves our
freedom.
You can vote for the one whom
you believe will be the best man
for the Office. Your vote is your
own.
You know whether you want
four more years of the New Deal
or whether you want Governor
Landon in the White House.
Let your conscience be your
guide as you vote, and remem-
Der, your vote is secret.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1936-10-29
SOME QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q.-Do you favor limiting the
powers of the federal judiciary
to declare unconstitutional laws
enacted by Congress? A.-No.
Q.-Do you favor the setting
up of committees or commits
sions of inquisition that harass
and intimidate innocent citizens
in order to suppress opposition?
A.-No.
Q.-Do you favor a firm and
definite policy of thrift and econ
omy in national, state and local
budgets? Ayes.
Q.-Do you favor preserving
inviolate the three separate de-
partments of government-leg-
islative, executive and judicial
as established by our Consti-
tuition? Ayes.
Q.-Will you uphold and pro-
tect the right of every Ameri-
can citizen to possess and enjoy
property honestly and legally
acquired? Ayes.
The Republican joins with the
Cumberland Daily News in be-
lieving the Straightforward and
positive answers given these
questions by Senator LIE Gore
will commend themselves to
most citizens of this district.
But what can be said in this re-
spect of the incumbent Demo-
cratic representative of the dis
trict? These same questions
were submitted to him but he has
refused, or failed, to answer
them.
The reason is obvious-he is a
Rubber Stamper and can't.

Why We Aren't Satisfied With School
Conditions in Our Community

Why We Aren't Satisfied With School
Conditions in Our Community
(Walnut BOttom).
To the Editor of The Republican.
There's much to be said in regard to
the school situation of GARRETT county.
We who live in this vicinity-Walnut
Bottom-have had to contend with
such unfair treatment that now we
feel called upon to state why we are
petitioning for our school to be re-
opened.
Before the present driver bought his
bus the children las many as from
10 to 13) were crowded into a Spas
senger car and transported over a
dangerous road to the Mount Zion
school. This year the bus was loaned
and we were supposed to send our
children (ten of them) again in a
5-passenger car. Of course, we parents
who have the welfare of our children
at heart, kept them at home.
The bus was returned to the right
full driver; then the drivers brother
in-law was i'll and our driver substitute
ed as driver for him, leaving our chill
dren to a young driver who just now
has his first license, thereby implying
that anyone was good enough to drive
the bus for our children, but not safe
any other place.
Our children met in a building
which DR.. Peck, when he discovered it
was used as a meeting place for the
children Immediately wrote the Super
intendent of Schools that it was no
fit place for children to enter (this
with no reflection on the family occu-
plying the building, for the disease
with which they are afflicted is inher-
ited).
This was not the first time it was
called to the attention of the school
authorities. I had a talk with Mr..
Fitzwater, the truant officer, about it
three years ago.
Last winter our children lost seven
weeks from school, which would not
have been necessary had we had our
school here in Walnut Bottom. Mount
Zion school, to which our Children are
transferred, is already overcrowded,
and more children to enter.
When one of our petitions was sent
in there was man from this commun-
ity present in the School Superinten-
dents office who reported that the
Superintendent laughed and said that
we would never get our school back
unless we as individuals paid the

teachers salary.
This past week there has been
petition circulated that the school
building be sold to Russell Harvey for
S25 to be used as a church (and yet
know of one bid that went in for it for
$50). This is in order to break up our
school when we now have fourteen pu-
pills available, which is the number
required by law for a school. And in
addition all the signers on the petition
for the sale of the school house to be
used as a church have no children of
school age.
We've sent in our last petition, and
if our school isn't reopened we will be
