atty For Delinquents-No
Town Debt, Says Clerk

Rockville residents have until
October first to pay their town
taxes stated F. Barnard Welsh, at
torney to the mayor and town
council, this week. ''If paid by
then liz per cent interest pen
alty will be averted", Mr.. Welsh
said. I'VE have a month longer to
pay this year., he continued, 1--WE
used to have to pay up by Septem-
Der to escape a penalty, but
Statewide law enacted by the 1899
Legislature affected all municipal
and county governments and our
dead-line date was changed to con-
form with the new statute
After October l, delinquent tax
payers will be charged at the rate
of . per cent per annum.
Only one tax bill per year is
issued said F. Bache Albert, clerk
to the town council, in q state
ment today. That includes a cor
poration tax of 5Sc for general pur-
poses and a 32c special tax to
cover interest and redemption Of
bonds. This makes a total of 90c,
the tax rate per each 500 assess-
able value.
"The town is clear Of debt with
the exception of bond issues for
water and sewer, and these are be-
ing reduced at the rate Of $4,000
per year., Mr.. Albert stated. All
streets are improved out of gen.
eral fund and no bonds were issued
for such work, it is understood.

Il Might Be

-by P. G. StrOmberg

We finally have universal
CONSUMPTION as a national policy.
For the first time in our history
we will have military training in
peacetime. And we like it. We
like it because it gives US
feeling of security which could
not be realized in any other way.
We like it because it shows that
a great Democracy can meet
conditions as they arise. We
like it because it will require
every man of Fl to 35 years of
age to consider the responsible
ties of citizenship as a corollary
to the enjoyment of his indi-
vidual freedom and all the
blessings of our form of govern
ment. We like it most because
it will drive into every home in
the nation the fact that good
citizenship requires support of
government in more ways than
the payment of taxes.
In that year of service in the
military establishment every
young man fortunate enough to
be called will gain experience
fitting him for life better than
he could possibly secure in any
other way. He will be made
stronger physically; he will learn
to obey and respect authority;
he will have indelibly impressed
upon him the values of demo-
cratic institutions; and, most of
all, HE WILL LEARN DISCI-
PLINE.
In the course of the next
generation we will see. as a.
result Of this military training, a
nation of men who will be far
superior to our present genera
ton. Enjoying, as we feel they
will, the fruits of a strong
Democracy, they will be pre-
pared, MILLIONS OF THEM, to
defend our institutions against
any conceivable aggressor from
without, while from within they
will have a nobler sense of the
value of the franchise. We will
not then be nation needing
gun for protection, and not
having gun nor having a gun
and not knowing how to fire it.
We will be in position to go our
own way KNOWING that our
flag and our policies will be
respected.
Our only hope is that we will
have a national consciousness
Tor peace and not permit our
military power ever to place us
In the position of an unjust
aggressor.
Let us hope and pray that
once set up for perfect defense
we will forever maintain that
security. But let us also hope
and pray that our country will
ever find the greatest glory and
pride in fair dealing with all
nations and in striving to make
peacetime progress and our
standard of living a model for
all civilization.
A national policy and purpose
could well be summed up ais
follows:
NIGHT for SECURITY
SECURITY for PEACE
PEACE for HAPPINESS
