SIT has also been customary to d.
rect the attention of the Grand Jury
to the liquor laws of the county. In
Garrett county, the sale of beer is now
authorized by law, subject to such
regulations as the Act of '35 imposes.
1t can be stated that there is no county
in the State where the liquor laws
have been more faithfully enforced
than in this county, and we can as
ume that there will be no relaxation
on the part of Grand Juries or enforce
ment officers with respect to them.
"Article II, Section 104 of the Pub
lie Local Laws, title: Garrett Coun-
ty," provides that the books of the
County Treasurer shall be open to the
inspection of the Grand Jury, and it
implied from this that it is your duty
to see that the books of the County
Treasurer are carefully kept and
monies received promptly deposited.
There is no necessity for your making
an audit of the books, as the general
law now provides for periodical exami-
nation by the State Auditor, whose re-
port would be available when required.
at is in the public interest that you
promptly assume your duties and con-
clude them as speedily as may be con-
sistent with a thorough investigation
of all matters which may be brought
before you and which you may be re-
quired to do, but it is not advisable to
sacrifice thoroughness to speed. That
this Court is of the belief that you
will promptly and properly perform
the duties to which you are summoned,
is attested by the fact that you have
been selected to serve as Grand
Jurors"

New Facts

Washington, Feb. Is (AP)-Presi-
dent Roosevelt proposed to Congress
today that it underwrite the nations
major farm crops.
Advocating a system of crop insur-
ance be applied first to wheat in 1887,
he said:
Legislation should authorize appli-
cation of similar programs to other
commodities when it is established
that producers desire them and appli-
cation of the plan to wheat has pro-
vided backlog of experience in APP
plying the principles of crop insur-
ance."
Under the plan worked out by
special committee of Federal officials
named by the President in September,
the farmer would be protected against
rs percent of his crop losses due to
drought, grasshoppers or other natu-
raj unavoidable causes.
The committee estimated 100000
100 to $150,OO0,O00 would be needed
to establish reserves and pay neces-
sary costs of putting the plan into
operation.
Talk of court reorganization quiet
ed around the Capitol, bAt a number
of committee activities were in full
swing. 49,
Chairman LaFollette, Progressive,
Wisconsin, of the Senate council lib
critics committee, asserted during an
investigation of labor relations of the
Chevrolet Motor Company that spy
ing on workers has been used effec-
lively by employers as a weapon
against collective bargaining.
Francis Staten, accountant for the
Federal Communications Commission,
told the committee that American
Telephone and Telegraph Company
had tried to dominate the motion pic
ture industry in order to sell and ser
vice film equipment on an exclusive
basis.

announced $50,0OOOOO provided by

now divisions, and would he placed
under the complete control of the
commissioner of public safety, who
would be responsible only to the gov
ernor. The commander of the patrol
would have the rank of major instead
of a captain, as at present, and have
authority to name other officers.
The reason Governor Hoey favors
this change in the set-up for the
safety division and the patrol is his
desire to make both divisions more
efficient, and especially to get the pa
troll entirely out from under the in
fluence of the Department of Revenue
and away from the role of tax collec-
tors, those who have conferred with
