ton of present motor and gasoline

Again Prevented
Once more we gave evidence of our
sincerity. The bill was killed. Once
more, by its refusal to put our state
highway funds on a sound and solid
basis, the General Assembly prevented
us from carrying out our pledge,
either in whole or in part. They used
their power, regardless of it's injus-
tice to the people of Maryland.
1 am still conscious of the debt the
state government owes the motorists
of Maryland in line with the pledge
which was first given them in 1922. l
am still convinced of the justice of
this proposal, of the unanimity of the
demand for it's enactment and of the
sound financial possibility of putting
it into effect under proper legislative
auspices. On this important issue,
common welfare, and not political
craftsmanship, ought to prevail. United,
we can place Maryland in the front
rank of roads progress, but with polit-
zeal conflict and sabotage the order of
the day, there can be for our state no
possibility of constructive tax reor-
ganization, including this just and
long-delayed reduction in motor vehi-

A NEW WPA RECORD-AND
THEN WHAT?

Despite five years, of effort and the
expenditure of nineteen billions by the
administration in efforts to prime the
pump and increase employment to the
point where real and permanent re-
covery will be had, Harry L. Hop
kins, spender extraordinary and relief
administrator without hindrance,
now announces it is very likely the
WPA load next winter will reach g.
100000 persons on the rolls. That is
more than double The 1 100000 on the
rolls seven months ago; it is more
than the former peak of 3,035,852 of
February, 1886. After all the expen-
diture, the relief chief is now warning
that the situation is worse than ever
before and Judging by his prediction
for next winter, is expected to get
steadily worse.
In estimating relief rolls, it must
be understood that they only include
those actually on the lists; the bread
winners. What does 100000 relief
workers mean? 1t means practically
that many families; and it was not
long ago that Mr.. Hopkins asserted
there are 100000 persons in the
United States depending upon emer-
gency work or government largess
for whatever living they have, with
the number growing greater right
along, if his pessimistic predictions
are to be believed.
Preparing to pour $4,50O,OO0,OOO
more into the pump, the nation sure
" must pause and wonder what will
be, what can be the outcome of sit
uation which rapidly approaches the
point where one person in very fou1
is being supported by the other three
with their growing taxes and the gov
eminent with its continued borrowing
and increasing public debt? Initiation
is already being tried in mild way
the experiment is one that grows
until the crash comes, and then what
is there but bankruptcy, misery fol
all, with all values wiped out, life
savings destroyed, insurance policies
valueless, government bonds only Sc
much wall paper?
The only alternative is to call
definite and immediate halt on eXpen
diture; to give private industry {
chance to re-employ people, to adop
a policy of rigid economy. But The
administration can hardly be expected
to take such dose; for where is thu
hophead that doesn't think he need
another shot ENID, Okla, News.

NOTED MISSIONARY SAFE
IN WAR-TORN CHINA
Miss Julia BOnafield Arrives Ir
FOOchOw 10 Months After
Sailing From The U. S.

More than ten months after leaving
her native Preston county (W. Va.),
Miss Julia Bonafield, noted mission
airy, has finally arrived at her old
home in Foochow, China, where she
has spent most of her lifetime. AL
though she has been in the midst of
the gigantic undeclared war between
that country and Japan she has so far
escaped harm and is with friends of
many years. Miss Bonafeld, who had
retired from active service sometime
ago after devoting the major part of
her lifetime to missionary work, was
with friends in Preston county when
she decided to make farewell visit to
China.
She was in Picking for two months
but left just before Japanese troops
entered the city. She arrived in Shang-
hal shortly before the city was first
bombed but remained there for six
months before going to Foochow
where she has since remained. In a
letter from that city, dated February
28th, but which has just arrived here,
Miss Bonafeld describes some of her
experiences in that unhappy land Mrs.
Alice Falkenstine, at Mountain Lake
Park, is Miss Bonafeld's niece, and in
that town and Oakland she has many
friends. The letter is published as be-
ing of unusual interest to the noted
missionary's friends in this section:

My Dear Friends
Some of you know that l left the
homeland for a farewell visit to my
friends in China last May, but some
of you did not know, as l left rather
hurriedly in order to attend the we'd
ding in Picking of my foster daughter
Ruth's only child.
AS Ruth had provided the passage
money for a visit to China "some-
time" when l went home for my re-
tirement, and as she wrote that it
would mean more to her to have me
come at this time than at any other
time in the future, and as a letter
from Foochow about the same time
came urging me to come as soon as
possible to help out in an emergency

on to Foochow, when the incident"
was staged which brought on the I'M

as could be found in China. There for
three long months, night and day, with
only few hours of quiet in between,
the great and crowded Chinese con-
trolled city which surrounded the In
