expressive
By Harold HoIifieId

Civilized living has reached the
point where there is no longer any
ned for the antiquated government
tai structure known Us the city.
The city is not only an unneees-
sary structure, but it Is detriment-
al to the interests Of the people.
The city only creates confusion
by having double rule over some
sections Of the country.
The city carries on it's payroll
many officials the duties Of which
could be carried out by existing
county offices.
If a person we're dividing a pie
at dinner into eight pieces, ne
would intend to serve eight per-
sons.
But supposing nc should assign
part Of one persons piece to some
one else. There would be then two
persons trying to eat the same
portion Of pie.
There are now two agencies try
ing to run the same portion Of the
county which Is a geometrica1 di-
vision Of the state.
The public pays for this double
duplication Of service.
In some forgone day. there was
perhaps a need for the city.
They did not have any counties.
Someone just ran off into the
woods, planted a stake or two,
I named it Gnoquosh or Tadmint.
and called it city.
j Since then, counties have devel-
oped with exact border lines, one
/ lying snugly against the other ike
cells in a honeycomb.
The greatest opposition to city
county mergers are heard from
those with city jobs who are fear
ful of losing them.
/ The remedy, now that it is
known, should be applied despite
this opposition.
For the sake of economy and
for the sake of efficiency.

The Greater Slavery
BY Ruth Taylor

Slavery of body of man is
a horror to the slave and de-
graduation to the master. But there
is a greater slavery than this-the
slavery of the mind.
1t was against this that Jeffer-
son went on record when he said,
81 am opposed to any tyranny
over the minds of men,"
And it is this form of slavery
which the totalitarian conquerors
of Europe's helpless people have
enforced on millions.
1t is the slavery of fear-fear
of each new act of aggression of
the dictators whose diseased minds
make them exult only in the
groveling of serfs. 1t is the slav-
cry of suspicion-suspicion that
makes man lose faith in human
kind, even in his nearest and dear
est, lest they turn against him to
save themselves. a
1t is the slavery of terror-ter-
ror lest some new evil come upon
a man, terror lest he lose all that
he still has to these overlords of
unreason. 1t is the slavery of hat
red-hatred that warps and twists
the mind, turning it into dark
paths into which no ray of sun
light can ever enter.
That is the greater slavery for
it is a poison that corrodes and
destroys the mind of man, weak
ening not only the man himself
but the succeeding generation.
And it is into this slavery that
the dictators have plunged not
only the countries they have con-
quered and possessed by fair
means or foul-but even more SO
their own people, yes, even the
children. Them they have made
slaves to a false ideology-one in
direct contrast to every religion
the world has ever known. Even
the old Teutonic gods whom these
new barbarians worship would
raise their hands in horror at the
works done in their name.
1t is to keep this type of slavery
from our shores forever that we
are busily rearming and against
which we are marshalling all our
forces-both military and civilian.
Lincoln said: "a nation cannot
endure half slave and half free
and the country groaned in the
travail of war for four long years
to establish physical freedom.
In the fight against this great
er slavery there is none of us who
is not on the battle front. The
fight against this theology is our
fight. This greater slavery must
never come to pass here!

Going Up?

A comparison of relief figures for
this past November and those of
year ago point to a continuous rise in
relief costs and also costs of admins
tering relief.
Coming at a time when there is a
sharp rise in employment throughout
the country occasioned by defense
preparations, it doesn't quite make
sense. The total last November 1880
was $12,OO1.72; this November 194o)
it was $14,834.64.
Last November 1893 were getting
pensions amounting tA $5,796.8O; this
past November 1892 Y were getting
$6,501.92.
There were 90 getting general pub
lie assistance last November and the
sum of $1,083.37 was speknt; this past
November 1876 were get fling genera
public assistance and s. ,081.69 was
paid out.

Are They Immune?

There is a law on the statute books
that says any political organization or
any person running for office must file
report of receipts and expenditures
not later than twenty days following
an election Tor words to that effect
Maybe the Democratic committee
didn't spend any money in Garrett
county prior to November 5. Maybe
the State candidates didn't choose any
local person for their campaign man
ager. If we are to judge from the rec
ords such is the case, as there has been
nothing filed in the office of the Clerk
of the Circuit Court in Oakland from
any Democratic organization in the
county. There are records there, how
ever, from the Republican committee,
showing expenditures of 5000, and
also a report from the Young Repub-
lican club.
Aren't Democratic organizations
subject to laws any more?
###
Seems like Federal regulations in
the Postoffice Department make strict
adherence to each little rule the main
thing and service to the public the
farthest thing down the list.
This casts no reflection on local
postal employees, because if they don't
obey rules and regulations to the let
ter they are hauled on the carpet
for the slightest breach.
But over the space of several
months it seems to us that the en-
ployes are prevented from doing those
very little accommodation for pat
rons because Of the regulations from
higher-ups and a misunderstanding
of the rules as laid down.
The Oakland office was allowed
only one clerk for waiting on the pub |
lie at the parcel post and stamp win
dow during the Christmas rush and it
was not uncommon to see ten or more {
persons standing in row waiting for
service.
The best possible service to the |
public should be the first cOnsldefa-
ton when those higher-ups at wash t
ington lay down their rules and reg
ulations.
