FINANCIAL CHAOS

President Roosevelt's request for a
three-quarters of billion dollar tax
bill, again throws tn. espotlight on the
chaos into which the reckless politi-
cal spending of the New Deal has
placed our national finances.
The President would have the nation
think that his call for added revenues
has been made necessary by payments
to farmers and the soldiers bonus.
Does the average business man or
merchant understand what added tax
burdens may mean to him at this
time?. If so, then let him consider
that the annual cost of the New Deals
political army, the quarter of a mil
Ion employees added to the Government
pay roll during the last three years,
almost equals the sum which the Pres
ident now asks in new taxes.
Accumulated defcites, our 81 billion
dollar national debt, have been caused
largely by political waste and the po-
litical administration of relief pro-
jects. Costly boondoggling has been
enshrined by the New Deal, as cure
all for the depression.
All recognize that widespread I'M
employment has made Federal relief
an absolute necessity. But the very
enormity of the relief sums should
have required prudent methods of ex-
penditure, and careful administration,
divorced from politics.
Instead of these, we have seen the
creation of the greatest political army
in history, and we hear the halls of
Congress resound with Democratic
protests that relief workers are to
elect New Deal politicians to high pub
lie office.
Mixing politics with relief, wasteful
boondoggling, "stage money" poured
out for unworthy projects, are the
basic causes for the demand for still
more taxes, and not payments to the
farmers and soldiers, which all in
formed persons in the nation knew
would have to be met. Consideration
of this years budget indicates that
President Roosevelt even has increased
by a billion or more dollars the ex-
penses of running so-called ordinary
governmental functions.
The New Deal type Of spending has
been achieved under various Acts au-
thorized by rubber-stamp Congress.
With the November elections ap-
preaching, the day of reckoning is at
hand for New Deal legislators, as well
as for the President.
Under these circumstances, only the
future can tell how the New Deal
Congress will reply to this Presiden-
tial request for more taxes.

having raised himself to the Dukedom
of Somerset, "to repair the decay of
the old English nobility" and who by
virtue of his relationship to the King
was chief of this council, took the fol-
lowing method to make himself abso-
lutte dictator: He secured the draw
ing of new patent of Protectorate
in the boy Kings name, empowering
him to act with or without the con-
sent of his fellow-executors, thus
making himself supreme in the realm.
,, A genuine revolution had thus been
adroitly managed. To crush their OPP
ponents the Council was first used
and then set aside Henry's will. Hert-
ford, now become Duke of Somerset,
in turn by the use of his nephew's
name, set aside both the will and the
Council. A country gentleman, who
had risen by the accident of his Sis
ter's queenship to high rank at court,
had thus by sheer intrigue and self
assertion made himself ruler of the
realm.
Unhappily those who believe them
selves all powerful, rarely think it
worth while to achieve their purposes
by mild and lenient measures, not
withstanding the age long experience
of the sure reaction to prosecutions
and exactions. Needless offenses were
heaped upon the orthodox party. The
Archbishop of Canterbury ate most
openly in Lent. Latin was laid aside
for English in, the services of the
Church. In 1888 a new communion
service in English took the place of
the Mass. An English book of Com
mon Prayer, the Liturgy, which with
slight alterations is still used in the
Church of England, soon replaced the
Missal and Breviary from which it's
contents are mainly drawn. Verify
the fashion of this world changeth!

County Agent Advises on Rural
Rehabilitation

Farm families who are eligible for
rural rehabilitation assistance under
the Resettlement Administration and
who desire to make application for
this aid, can do so at his office, it is
announced by John H. Carter, County
Agent. -.=.
Rural rehabilitation, he states, of
fers not only loans to farmers for the
purchase of livestock, machinery, seed,
fertilizer, etc., but assists in volun-
tary debt adjustment, when possible
and when the Indebtedness is more
than the farm can carry. Assistance
in the way of advice on farm and home
management is offered also, in order
that the borrower will have the best
possible chance for repaying his loan

Our Army
Of Dependents
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman
-SentineLs of the Republic,

AS millions of Americans struggle
with their latest tax forms, they are
beginning to realize that there is a
large group of dependent" for whose
upkeep they are allowed no exemp
tions whatever.
It is the growing army of political
job-holders-every member of which
is dependent for his pay-check on the
earnings of the average American
citizen and taxpayer.
But the burden doesn't rest on the
income taxpayer alone. With other
costs of government, it falls on every
worker, every housewife, who either
earns or spends-if not directly then
in taxes hidden somewhere in the
price of nearly everything he or she
may buy.
And the costs continue to mount.
That's why we hear protests to Con-
gress against taxes on "the American
breakfast table and the forgotten
mans shirt"
That's why noted political OBJ
server could recently declare that the
American people are spending more
for government than they are for
food, clothing and rent combined.
That's why statisticians can make
the startling announcement that the
annual total of federal, state and local
government expenditures in America
averages $517 per family.
Throughout the nation, it is now
apparent, the taxpayers themselves
are coming to grim realization of
what these things mean to them. And,
what is more significant, they are
making their protests heard.
It's good sign-if we don't weaken.

THE MARYLAND BIBLE
SOCIETY'S CORNER
Edward vi And The Bible

Edward vi And The Bible
Henry was succeeded by his son, Ed
ward, lad of ten years, who had been
most religiously educated, and who
removed any and all bans on the read
ing of the Bible, after which followed
period of remarkable activity in the
printing and circulation of the Holy
Scriptures. In Edwards short reign
thirteen or fourteen editions of the
Bible were issued, and many editions
of the New Testament. II
However, the reign Of Edward vi
was not an unmixed blessing to Eng
land. Indeed there is no period of Eng
fish history that better illustrates the
wisdom of Ecclesiastes when dealing
with the question of the instability Of
government guided by the hands of
inexperience: "Woe to thee, o land,
when thy king is child, and thy
princes eat in the morning! Blessed
art thou, o land, when thy king3is the
son of mobiles, and thy princes eat in
due season for strength, and not for
drunkennessw
King Henry had forseen the tumult
Of warning factions, and wrote while
the shadows were gathering about
him, "The remedy for the severing
of one mans heart by the conceit Of
opinion from the other, is to be found
in the determination Of every man to
travail for his own amendment" Bish-
ops and clergy were to agree to their
teaching, (Which seeing there is but
one truth and verify they may easily
do, calling therein for the grace Of
God. Let the mobiles and laity be pious
and humble and read their new Bibles
reverently and humbly. All this con-
troversy might be done away by SIM
pie charity"
There were two factions opposed to
each other as Henry drew toward the
grave; one representing the older no.
bility, who sought return to the
status of rligion as it was prior to
Henry the Eighth's reforms. The other
as anxiously striving to bring the
English Church nearer to conformity
with the reformed churches of the
continent.
Due to Edwards extreme youth a
protectorate was necessary until he
should become of lawful age. By clever
maneuvering, Edward Seymour, elder
brother of Jane Seymour, and uncle
Of Edward vi, who had been raised
to the Earldom of Hartford, by a bold
stroke, made himself master of the

at his feet. Although a council o.
government had been named, WHOSE

policies of the land, Earl Hartford

TWENTY-FIVE MARRIAGES
PERFORMED DURING WEEK
Three Couples Defy Superstition
and Marry Friday, the 18th

Three wedding couples defed all
the superstitions of Friday, the 18th,
last week. During the period of week
ending Monday at noon twenty-five
permits were issued at the office of
the Clerk of the Circuit Court in Oak
land.
The three couples defying super
stition appling for their licenses on
Friday were happy and were not fear
full of what might be in store for them.
Two of the gentlemen were farmers
and the other was carpenter. That
day however, may be considered an
evil omen for one other couple who
applied and were refused on account
of the youthfulness of the near-con-
tracing parties. The busiest day for
the clerk in this department was on
Saturday, as usual, when II permits
were issued.
The number issued during the week
brings the total for March thus far
to A. During March, 1885, there were
107 licenses issued. During the week
two licenses issued were marked "don't
publish" while one applicant was re-
| fused.

Youth Aided By Family And Training

not all children of famous people attain distinction. A favorable arl- cestry helps, but there are records of innumerable instances of people who were able to rise far beyond their ancestry.
 John Bunyan, author of Pilgrims Progress" was the son of a tinker. The father of Carlyle, author of The French Revolution" was a mason. The great philosopher Kant was the son of 6 straymaker, and the father of the celebrated British navigator, Capt. James Cook, was common day laborer.
 There occasionally are people who insist that 1t is possible to take children of average ancestry and train them for leadership. Their view arises from the fact that Pitt, the great statesman; Mozart, the musician: Michelangelo. the sculp- tor: Weber. the composer, and many others. had special instruction when very young. trending toward leader ship in the fields in which they

 On the other hand, Abraham Lincoln, Faraday, the scientist, and General Butcher came from exceed ingly lowly surrounding and had little, If any, opportunity in youth to help them toward the positions of eminence and leadership which they ultimately achieved.
 Genius is likely to make itself apparent very early in life. Voltaire wrote verses almost as son as he was old enough to talk. The author Coleridge could read Q chapter from the Bible at the age of 3 years.
 The poet-philosopher Goethe, at 8, produced literary work better than that prodeuced by most adults. Oliver Cromwell entered Cambridge at 17.
 Ulysses Grant was capable of ride ing horses remarkably well at the age of 8. William Harvey; who dis- covered the circulation of the blood. entered Cambridge at 16 and rec ceived his B. A. degree at 10 years of age.
 Lives of great men furnish ex- amples of extraordinary brilliance early in youth. Tn their school standing and progress, and in their early production and achievement, these children were phenomenal.

 Piques, uncrushable linen, sheer organdieS, ginghams and cotton prints are used for everything from beach costumes, sports and street clothes to the formal evening gowns and wraps.
 Two big dress houses - Ghiapar- eli and Chanel have been the most important influences on this new style as they were the first to launch, several years ago, the un- heard of plque evening gown. Today, all the big houses have followed their lead and cotton has become the smartest summer material.

WE'LL, MAKE UP YOUR MIND ABOUT IT

Eminent all.round specialist in . special article" published in the 0fIicial organ of the national medi- cal association stated that electro coagulation (diatherIny extirpatiof) of the tonSilS is the salvation of pa. tients with tuberculosis, exopthaimic goiter or heart diseases who require tonsil removal. Such patients are bad risks for general aHlesthesia and c major operation, of course.
 Tn the same article the authority sponsored by the medical aSsociati made this remarkable remark:
 "When the public learns of the
 dangers and complications that
 may occur during the removal Of
 tonSilS by ectro-coagilation, and,
 what may be even worse, leaving
 Q buried focus of infection from
 an incomplete removal, it will
 shun this operation as it would c
 rabid dog
 That puts the vctim of tubercu- loSis, eXopthalmic goitcr or heart disease who has infected tonsils in Q quandary, doesn't 1t?
 A rabid dog iS not c pleasant thought. Yet it does seem to me that most of the horrors attributed to rabld dogs never happen. The suggestion that dog that has bitten some one may nave been rabid puts terror into the hearts of ail Con- cerned. Yet, after oil, such scares are everyday occurrences and au- thntlcated rabies in man iS 60 rare that I, for one, doubt it ever hap- pens. Further I doubt whether it is reasonably safe to administer to . human being So-called pasteur virus for the purpose of preventing the development of rabies in the person bitten by c dog which was presurn. ably rabid. Certainly I would not submit to such treatment YYlyself--- I fear the virus 50 injected is the cause of some of the sad conse. quenceS attributed to rabies.
 But then, you see, my fear of "rabid dog" is not 50 great as yours.
 If I had infected tonsils I'd shun the standard surgical tonSillectony ag I would, well, wiener Schnitzel or 6 bath tub, because I know Sorne- thing of the dangers and complica. tions that may occur during and following the removal of tonsils by the old Spanish method.
 Tn another hvo years or 70, the self-conStituted authorities spon- sored by the all-embracing national medical association will probably make up their mind about the ques. ton, and then, without any particu- far announcement of the change of view, for that would be too much to expect of such eminent author ities, they'll quietly adopt the dia- thermy method of extirpating in- fected tonsils as one of the alterna- tives for patients who are not will- ing to take the risks of c major op- eration.
 The only reason why I harp on the subject like this Is the "rabid dog" propaganda of the brass sur. geons of America against modern methods. I hold that it is my duty to appriSe the public of the fact that 1t is now possible to have in- fectcd tonsils removed without hos- pitalization and without serious risk, and in my opinion the modern
