accomplishes desire he cherished
during life. But it's a failing, or 1t
may be fortunate no one can say,
of us mortals not to do what we
want. Too often things are put off
until too late. The late F. c. Lee
had long cherished trip to Calf

were out there. But even as his
plans shaped more and more into

Business Has Spoken

As result of numerous recent conferences with
business and industrial leaders, President Roosevelt
should have definite idea of what these believe
is wrong with the present administration policies af
fecting them.
These conferences climaxed by the gather
ing of nearly 1000 small business men from all
tons of the country, who went farther than the
representatives for relief from burdensome taxation
and regulation
Principal points upon which both big and little
business agree include recommendations for repeal
of the taxes capital gains and undstributed pro-
fits repeal modification of the Wagner labor law
amendment of the social security act; curtailment
of government spending and getting the government
out of competition with private business.
Opposition to the proposed wage-hour legislation
the enactment of other restrictive legislation
virtually unanimous the part of the business
groups Unwise legislation, already in effect pro-
posed is largely to blame for the socalled recession,
in the opinion of those consulted.
Business has been asked for its views on these
matters, and business has spoken in definite terms
What effects, if any, this may have administra-
ton policies remains to be seem However, In spite of
the turbulence of the sessions there is little differ
ence of opinion between branches of business-they
know what they want and they have spoken

tronize-and patronize is what will
be done.
At a meeting held last year con-
corning the situation, prominent citi-
zen asked this very pertinent ques-
ton: "Why concentrate on base ball 2"
The answer was not forthcoming.
There are many opportunities for cru
sades against crime, but it seems that
Sunday base ball is the safest to
launch objective forces. 1t doesn't in
volve so many possible associated evil
results. Some interest similar to that
executed against Sunday ball, might
rid Pocomoke of many more insidious
influences.
Be that as it may, if Pocomoke loses
her ball team, it will be largely the
result of opposition such as referred
to. Crisfield will receive the club with
open arms.

in the Legislature.
l am sure Governor Richie did
not like State borrowing. | have
consistently voiced my dislike.
Both administrations were forced
to this method of raising money
by circumstances over which they
had no control. Let us have your
plan, your support, and as Gov
ernor of this State, it will be my
pleasure to give the best that is
in me to it's successful consum-
nation and to publicly acknowl-
edge Maryland's debt of graft
tude to you. I am sure that where
you criticize you must necessar-
lily have constructive remedies and
it is for this reason that l call
upon you to come to the asslS-
lance of the people of Maryland.
I do hope you will publish this
tomorrow morning in full.
Subsequently to the above, on Feb
'uary %, Mr.. Nice there appeared an
,ther editorial to which Mr.. Mic
thought best to reply in the form o
he following telegram to the Cit.
editor:
Many of the worlds most impor-
tant reforms have been brought
about by constructive suggestions
to newspapers. Criticism can
only be justified when the critic
is willing and able to offer a
remedy for the faults to which he
objects. The problem of State
finance is not Republican or DEM
ocratic. 1t is Maryland's prob
lem. Your refusal, therefore, to
render assistance in this or any
other State problem is a refusal
to the people of Maryland and
not to me.
I have no comment to make on
the language in which your rejec-
ton of my proposal was couch
ed except to say that / prefer to
forget the temper displayed there
in and to remember only the real
ly fine part you have played in
the history of our State.
It is not my desire and certainly
not your intention to prolong this
discussion. I do feel that am
justified in asking you to continue
