The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1937-04-29

reer has been spent in attempting to
get legislation passed directed against
those whom he does not relish. Not one
piece of legislation, to the knowledge
of this newspaper, has been sponsored
by Senator Friend for the public good.
The bill taxing dance halls $50, even
if only one dance year is held, was
sponsored by Friend. 1t is said that the
dance hall proprietors opposed him in
his election.
He demanded investigation of the
County Welfare Board sometime ago.
Charles W. Ream, his opponent in the
primary election, was and still is the
chairman of the Welfare Board.
All kinds of measures have been de-
signed and some of them passed by
Senator Friend directed specifically
against The Republican, simply be-
cause this newspaper wasn't over
joyed at his election and was against
him in the primary.
Senator Friend appears bent upon
carrying out his own ideas, regardless
of right or reason. His inconsistency
is certainly shown in the controversy
re is in at present over the tax rate in
the county.
He saw q chance last Monday to
gain favor in Kitzmiller and appeared
before the Commissioners about the
school addition in that town. Kitzmil-
Ter needs school building addition. Sc
do Accident, Bloomington, Swanton,
Oakland Hi and Oakland Elementary
Schools. But Friend, according to the
records, urged an increase of 80 to 40
cents in the tax rate to build the Kitz-
miller addition. A few days later he
denied this, but the record still stands.
At the regular session of the Legis-
lature he had an opportunity to secure
a large sum of money for the county
from Government funds, but he passed
this up.
There is consistency in the attitude
of The Republican. The records can
speak for themselves. There never has
been unreasonable charges made for
work done, either for the county or
for business concerns.

ator Friend directing the publication
of the financial statement of the Com
missioners to be let to the lowest bid
der in the county, Notwithstanding the
fact that one paper has a circulation
of several hundred more than another
and hence reaches probably twice as
many taxpayers and residents of the
county.
Senator Friends bill was passed in
the Senate. 1t came to the House and
was referred to the Garrett County
delegation. In the course of time it
reached the Speakers desk, passed
on its first reading without amendment
by the House members; later it was
passed on its second and final reading
without dissenting vote by any men,
Der of the local delegation being cast
against it. This was on the last night
of the regular session when everything
was in uproar.
The Journal of the House shows
that upon motion of the chairman of
the Ways and Means Committee, a
Democrat, of course, made a motion
to reconsider the vote by which this
measure was passed in the House. The
vote was taken and declared carried by
the Speaker. A second motion by the
chairman of this same committee was
made to recommit the bill to the House
Ways and Means Committe for further.
consideration, which motion was like
wise carried, and the measure died in
committee.
A like measure, passed during the
administration of Governor Richie,
was vetoed by the Executive and in
his review of why he vetoed the bill
he stated that the public generally was
entitled to know just how public funds
were spent and to whom the money
was paid.
SO it is apparent that the Demo-
cratic members of the House are re-
sponsible for the killing of Senator
Friends pet spite" measure which
he intended to be thorn in the side
of The Republican.
Another matter concerning the pub
LEGATION of the expenditures made by
the Commissioners is that the editor
Of The Republican himself suggested
that the statement could be condensed,
thus saving some money to the tax
payers each year, and explained that
it should appear in both The Democrat
and The Republican so that everybody
in the county could see in what manner
the county's money was being spent.
Senator Friend, however, was bent
upon getting his own ideas into laws.

CONSISTENCY-WHERE
ART THOU?-

Consistency, back in Shakespeare's
day, was considered quite virtue, and
it is no less so today, even though some
of our high government official in both
State and Nation are extremely in
consistent.
Particularly at this time consistency
seems to be lacking in this area.
Senator Clifford Friend doesn't seem
to be very consistent, and neither do
the various writer's for The Mountain
Democrat.
1t had been the desire of the editor
of The Republican to entirely ignore
anything one writer on the staff of
The Democrat, known to many but
still fearful of being identified in such
an undertaking (maybe ashamed, who
knows p but when this writer poses as
watchdog of practically every I'M
dertakirg and denounces the legisla-
tors for not passing a bill that would
have required the annual financial
statement to be given out by bid and
printed in the one paper, it is timely
that an exposition be made of the mat
ter. Before going into that phase Of
legislation we are stating that the ed
itor of The Democrat paid half of the
expenses (about $9) for trip to An
napolis to urge the passage of GER
tain proposed legislation that would
have reimbursed The Democrat as well
as The Republican for publications
and the printing of the ballots used in
the beer election for which no provis-
ion had been made when Senator
Friend in his measure limited the eX-
pense for clerks, judges, rents, etc, to
the magnificent sum of $500. This
amount came into the hands of
the Clerk of the Supervisors of Elec-
tons and was Immediately dis
bursed and left deficit of small sum
which was made up by the clerk from
private funds.
The editor of The Republican paid
the other half of expense of the An
napolis trip, but the proposed meas
ure, just in its provisions, was not in
PRODUCED, the feeling being that while
it would probably be passed by the
House Senator Friend would see that
it was killed in the Upper Branch, SIM
ply because the editor of The Republi-
can would become a beneficiary under
the act. So The Democrat, as well as
The Republican, are out just the
amount of their bills for printing and
publishing.
Now we come to the measure intro
duced and passed in the Senate by Sem

City's Next
Tax RateAt
Near $l.4O
Would Be Rise of IS
Cents; More Obliga-
tons Are To Be
Refunded Also

The City of Henderson's new tax
rate for the fiscal year 1898 will
probably not be less than $14O, and
may be even more, the definite figure
mentioned as a probable minimum be-
ing an increase of Is cents over the
current rate of $125, it is indicated
in discussions in authoritative circles
There is, of course, nothing definite
about the new rate at this time, other
than that it will almost certainly be
higher than the current tax levy.
The boost in the rate will be nee
esSary, it is indicated, to carry on the
essential operation of city affairs.
even after certain obligations matur-
ing now or later during the year have
been refunded The Council at it's re-
gular monthly meeting for May, held
last Monday night, and the last re-
gular meeting before the change in
administrations occurs on the first
Monday in June, as required by the
city charter, voted to refund $4,000
of maturing debt and also $4,000 of
interest charges accruing on the ST.
900 item. Other maturities are also to
be refunded, according to those who
are in close touch with the situation
1t is also indicated that extensive
requirements are necessary imme-
diately in equipment in the street de-
partment. Equipment bonds might be
issued for this expense, instead of
putting the item in the new budget,
except for the fact that the bonds
would have to be voted on, and that
would require considerable time.
These are matters of more or less
speculation, though with some GER
tainty, and involve indicated policies

rosition to know the status of city
finances.

j. E. Elrod, prominent lumberman
of Charlotte, was a guest at and the
principal speaker for the Rotary club
last evening at it's regular meeting in

J. w. Jenkins presided over the
session in the absence of the president

w. H. Owen was a guest of e. w.

his son, Stanley Elrod.
The speaker stated that there was
an erroneous idea abroad that the
lumber supply was diminishing, when,
as a matter of fact, there was plenty
of lumber for time to come, and that
lumber today was being made better
than heretofore and more of it was
being made.
Mr.. Elrod pointed to the yellow
pine in the south as a vast source of
building material since the tree en-
joys a rapid growth. In this tree, the
