COP OUTLINES
1913 PLATFORM
AS SOLONS MEET
Pledge Support of All Proper
State Defense Measures But
Against War Council Plan

The Maryland Republican party
pledged itself ON Tuesday night prior
to the opening of the legislature, to
support "all proper measures of the
state defense council in the coming
Legislative session but expressed
firm opposition to the war council
measure.
The proposal, which was not en-
dorscd by the Legislative council,
would enable the governor and coun-
ell of seven members to set aside any
present law regarded as obstructive
to the war effort.
Chairman Galcn L. TAFT, of the
State Central committee, in an ad-
dress, outlined the party platform. He
said it was derived in part from the
national party program and in part
was based on conferences with about
l20 party leaders throughout the
state.
The caucus was attended only by
the legislators, TAFT, Theodore r. Nc
kcldin, the party's candidate for gov
crnor last November, and Paul Rob
ertson, chairman of the State central
committee of Baltimore.
TAFT pledged his party's legislators

COMMISSIONERS
REFUSE TOPAY
ORDERS FOR SAND
Matter Is Left Up to Mr.,
Rathbun And Board of Educa-
ton, President Herman
Declares

Tons and tons of sand were figur-
atively dumped into the lap of F. E.
Rathbun, county superintendent of
schools. following a meeting of the
Board of County Commissioners this
week, when the members of the latter
refused to honor the county orders
issued by the old board, or to issue
new ones to pay bills amounting to
$1,341.42.
Around $657.OO of the amount was
due Chcston H. Browning, former
county commissioner, for purchase of
the sand, and the balance to various
persons for hauling, according to
statements made last week by the
boards attorney.
John W. Herman, president of the
new board of commissioners, did not
enlarge upon the decision, and made
no statement as to the details of the
boards conference Monday with Mr..
Rathbun. "The matter is left entire
~ up to the Board of Education" he
said.
Mr.. Rathbun declared that he felt
sure satisfactory arrangement
would be worked out, but that the
Board of Education had not had a
recent meeting and that therefore
nothing definite could be stated.
Walter W. Dawson, president of
the Board of Education, said he was
unaware until last week that any sand
had been purchased.
The orders over which there was so
much dispute were two drawn against
the contingent fund for total of
$500, and an order for $541.42, drawn
against the fund created to build a
garage at the Jail. The orders were
drawn while the old board was still in
office and were being held in the Of
flee of the treasurer
The new Board of Commissioners
upon taking office, ruled that all
county orders unpaid at the time the
new board took office were to be re-
turned to the Commissioners office
for approval or disapproval.
Previous orders for sand to the
amount of $l,O84 which was delivered
to the Board of Education had been
paid by orders drawn by members of
the old board of Commissioners, out
of which Mr.. Browning received 1868
for the sand, and the balance to in
dividuals for hauling,
At present the sand is piled on
various school grounds throughout
the county and one pile is on the town
property at the north edge of town.
Work on Levy
The County Commissioners mean
while were busy this week receiving
bills that must be taken into consid-
Grafton when laying the levy for
1913, and were ordering payment of
regular bills payable under the 1912
levy.
Mr.. Herman said it was mandatory
that the levy be made on or before
January IS, and that the board would
not complete its work before the dead
line. He declined to give any intima-
ton as to what the tax rate would be
