DISTRICT INTERSTATE MILK
PRODUCERS COOPERATIVE

The Elkton and Cecilton locals of
the Cecil County District OF the In
ter-State Milk Producers Coopera-
tive held their annual banquet at
the Chesapeake City High School on
Tuesday, March IL, over one hun
dred members and friends were
present. The bad conditions of the
dirt roads, it was announced, pre-
vented a number of other members
from getting to the meeting.
Mr.. S. w. Caldwell, president OF
the Elkton local was chairman OF
the meeting. County Agent, J. q.
Miller, was the toastmaster. The
officers and delegates of the two
locals were introduced, these in
cluded for the Elkton local, S. w.
Caldwell, President; Henry McIn-
tire, Secretary; C. Albert George,
delepate, to the annual meeting in
Philada. For the Cecilton local, H.
Raymond Price, President; j. W..
Scott, secretary; and Robert d..
Shelton, delegate. Brief talks were
made by Mr.. r. E. Bower, Cecil Co.
Director of the Cooperative, Mr..
Clayton Reynolds, fieldman for the
Cecil district; Mr.. Howard Jamison,
editor of the Milk Producers Re-
view; Benjamin H. Wetty, Presi-
dent of the Interstate Milk Pro-
ducers Cooperative, and Mr.. Esty in
charge of the fieldmen for the East
ern States Cooperative.
The principal talk of the meeting
was made by Mr.. o. Henry norman,
General Manager OF the Cooperative.
Mr.. Hoffman described the coopera-
tive as a milk producers organize
ton which was run by the members
from the outside in-on one-man,
one-vote basis-truly democratic.
Cooperative members like citizens
of a Democracy, are responsible for
the success of their organization or
their form of government. Neither
cooperatives or democracies are de-
stroyed by the people who are run
ming them but by the people who
are so mentally inactive that they
unwittingly let others run them. He
insisted rhat as long as cooperative
members and citizens of democ-
racy take their responsibilities
seriously we shall see them remain
successful and effective.

Battle OF The Budget

Baltimore, Md, March II, 1941--
Fifteen Senators can save the state
over million dollars is the rally
ing cry Of determined taxpayers as
they take the Battle of the Budget
to the State Senate. The economy
movement headed by the State Bud
get Emergency Committee has
grown to such proportions that
Governor O'Conor recently said,
"Never has the State witnessed such
a concerted protest from taxpayers
against increased appropriations.
Anticipating the Senate will vote
on the Budget within the next few
DAYS. organized taxpayers have been
flooding their Counties with circu-
lars and letters advising citizens
of all walks in life to urge their
respective Senators to vote No on
the budget thus sending it back for
reduction.
The recurring proposals from
washington for increases in Fed
eral Taxes for defense have aroused
taxpayers of the State to the dire ne
cessity Of cutting State spending to
the bone. Already it is proposed IN
Congress to reduce personal exemp-
lions on federal income tax and
make them retroactive for 1910.
Another proposal would tax all
workers 1919 of their wages. Just
what form the new Defense Taxa
ton will take is problematical but
day by day new Federal tax pro-
posals and a realization of the tre-
mendous tax burden incident to ma
tional defense have spurred Mary
land taxpayers to a history-mak1ng
effort to prevent the State spending
over 100000 more in 1942-43
than good government cost the peo-
pie in 194O-41.
Curtis ]. Ireland, Chairman of the
Citizens Budget Committee, in a
statement, said, "The people OF
Maryland are tax conscious and what
is more important tax-action con-
scious. Hundreds of organizations
all over the State are cooperating
with the citizens committees and
taxpayers associations in the var
ious Counties. Many Committees
formed for this Budget emergency
have become permaennt taxpayers
associations. Six such on the East
ern Shore alone.
The average taxpayer can not
afford the continual increases in
State spending and still be able to
pay his share of defense taxes which
according to estimates to date are
equal to $411.81 for every man,
woman and child in Maryland

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7--Looking back on the inauguration, there were so many things worth re- cording that the crowded news wires couldn't find space for, that am putting down some of them.
 For instance. maybe some of you heard, over the radio. that tiny, far-away voice which intermittently kept crying throughout the cere- mony-not only during the oath taking but also during the Presi- dents address "Hurra-a-ay for President Roosevelt!"
 That was the five-year-old daugh- ter of a newspaperman who, by the way. has written some of the most vigorously anti Roosevelt stories and whose paper is much against the New Deal.
 Papa. whose face was very red, was hundred yards away in the press section and could do noth- ing about it. But daughter scored immensely.
 A Kentucky Democrat standing behind her leaned over and said: Honey, anyone as loyal as you are deserves a better seat" He picked her up and put her on his shoulder where she remained throughout the ceremony continu- ing to shout at the top of her

WASHINGTON-If Roosevelt de- cides to appoint Republican to Justice McReynolds' Supreme Court seat Che has appointed five Demo- crats in row) foremost on his list will be John J. Parker of North Carolina, senior judge of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.
 Judge Parker has the unique dis tinction of being the only living man appointed to the U. s. Su- preme Court who failed of Senate ratification, and many of those who worked against him in 1880 now would like to right what they consider an injustice.
 Judge Parker was appointed by Herbert Hoover to replace the lace Justice Sanford. Immediately there arose a hue and cry from Negro organizations and the AZ. of l.. on the ground that Parker had been guilty of race prejudice and was unfair to organized labor Rallying Senate liberals, these groups caused Parkers defeat by one vote.
 Following which Parker turned out to be one of the most liberal Circuit Court judges in the country handing down decision for equal pay for white and Negro teach CTS, supporting the New Deal against the Duke Power Company in the PWA fight to finance muni- cipal power plants, and upholding the Railroad Labor Boards position for organized labor.
 In fact, his record has been much more liberal than Justice Roberts who was appointed to the place which Parker lost.
 Should Roosevelt appoint Dem ocrat in Justice McReynolds place, Attorney General Bob Jackson probably would have the refusal of the job. But at present Roosevelt has clear majority of five Demo- crats on the bench, with three Re- publicans, one of whom, Justice Stone, usually votes with the Ad- ministration. Therefore. with Roo sevelt anxious to foster spirit of national unity, some of his advisers believe he may turn to progressive Republican.
 NOTE Roosevelt's five Supreme Court appointees have come from widely varied walks of life, but none has had much judicial ex- perience. Hugo Black was Sena-
