Taxpayers Save Two And
A Half Million Dollars

Baltimore, Md. March 26,-Tax-
payers in Maryland have saved them
selves to date 21a million dollars
and secured an additional reduction
in the State real estate tax as a re-
suit of the first State economy cam
paign ever attempted. Started as an
emergency movement taxpayers are
now permanently united to examine
governmental costs and to enforce
reductions in non-defense spending.
The State Budget Emergency
Committee, formed a week after the
1942-43 State Budget was first in
troduced in January, has awakened
taxpayers in every corner of the
State to the necessity of economy IN
governmental expenditures. Local
committees were formed, mass meet
ings were held in nearly every coun-
ty, tens of thousands of pamphlets
were distributed, full page advertise
ments appeared in the papers, over
four hundred co-operators were en-
listed and every newspaper in the
State co-operated in publishing news
of the movement.
Taxpayers, determined to con-
tinue the economy movement local
ly, have or are forming permanent
County Taxpayers Associations in
II counties. An Association is
forming in the City of Baltimore to
carry on permanently the work
started by the Citizens Emergency
Tax Control Committee.
The State spending program, in
Guiding supplemental additions to
the original, totaled over Sill, 0OO,-
900. To date reductions amounting
to $2,5OO,OO0 have been effected fol
lowing such a veritable tidal wave
of protest for economy that the Gov
ernor himself announced "Never be-
fore has the State witnessed such a
concerted demand from taxpayers
for reduced expenditures"
An unusual feature of this cam
paign is that the taxpayers do not
expect to save money for themselves
out of the state economies since all
know that re-armament taxes will
take every cent saved and more.
Their demands are based on the fact
that re-armament cannot be stinted
but that non-defense spending must
be curtailed in order that people
can pay the huge tax bills for Ma
tional Defense.
In letter to co-operators thanking
them, Curtis j. Ireland, chairman
of the Citizens State Budget Elmer
gency Committee, said: 1.-THE sue
cess of your efforts for economy in
non-defense expenditures proves that
the taxpayers can put the brakes on
the constantly increasing cost of
State government. The aroused tax
payer realizing this will now insist
ON economies in his city and county
government.

In announcing this date, Mr.. Har-
rison stated, 1--WE will be able to re-
duce the great amount of futile eff
fort which is expended by both
job seekers and employers if the
first group places their applications
with US and the latter lists their job
openings with us. BY arranging this
additional registration point, we
hope to make it easier for both
parties to do these things"
The Employment Service can be
especially helpful to those indivi-
duals who wish. to obtain employ
ment in Baltimore or other indus
trial centers where openings for
skilled workmen exist. In fling
application with the local employ
ment representative, the individual
can indicate his wishes to obtain
employment elsewhere, and his ap-
plication will be considered for open
ings for which he may qualify in
any section of the State.
The various Fire Companies have
endorsed the plans of the Employ
ment Service to register all job ap-
plicants in this area and are pro-
viding interviewing quarters for
this purpose as courtesy to the
Service. No fee is
charged TO anyone using the public

A REPLY BY REQUEST TO THE
ELKTON TOWN COMMISSIONERS

Gentlemen:
Pertaining to the requests by
the town commissioners of Elkton,
Md, in reference to the daylight
saving time, as the board is very
much interested to have some opin-
ions from the general public, MAJ
turally feel that l am one of that
number.
Under circumstances by this
request feel free to express my
opinion; in the first place this crazy
time is very confusing.
Several years ago during the
Worlds War I had an appointment
with a party in Wilmington, Del.
The hour was IL A. M. arrived
on time IL A. M. standard time,
which meant IL P. M. noon crazy
time, which was adopted by Della
ware, so l missed my party by one
hour as we were in Maryland on
standard time.
Now in the second place if peo-
pie were progressive and thrifty
and get away from so much of MIRA
laziness and indolency by getting
up in the morning as do they will
not advocate any daylight saving
time.
If I were to be caught in bed
winter or summer after 5 A. M. l
would feel very much ashamed of
myself regardless of weather con-
ditions, to think I was a lazy drone
lying in the sunshine, like the alli-
gator in the south with his mouth
open waiting for the flies to come
and feed him, this crazy time is
what l call the New Deal method
No. 2.
Now, then, just let us define the
New Deal or the daylight saving
time as it is originally called, what
do these three initials stand for,
NRA?.
N-stands for not anything, R.
stands for really, while A-stands for
at all, summary, NRA means
nothing real at all' is the true in
depreciation of the New Deal.
remain, for sound, sane, SEN
sible and progressive government, by
going back and starting where our
fore-fathers left off.
Awaiting any comment,
Very Truly Yours,
Harry L. Harvey
