BANKS AND BONDS

Treasury efforts to bypass com
mercial banks in raising money dur
ing the last two drives, have not
been completely successful.
This procedure has been followed
to reduce the amount of cash and
bank credit available for spending
VIXEN bonds are sold to banks, total
bank deposits increase because of the
Government borrowing. But when
bonds are sold to individuals and non
banking institutions, deposits simply
are transferred from the buyers
banking accounts to the Treasury
account Total deposits are not in
creased.
Thus, in the last two bond drives
banks were allowed to buy only q
limited amount of bonds-20 pei
cent of their time deposits. In the
fourth drive early this year, this sys-
tenn was reasonably successful. Be
tween January and March, 1914, a
total of $16,070, 1000 wortk OF
new Government bonds was marketed
and banks increased their holdings
by only 27,O00,000 or 80 per
cent of the total increase.

GET OUT AND VOTE

Tuesday next, November Z, is
Election Day, and every voter should
go to the polls and cast His ballot for
the candidates of his choice. Given
this privilege in our form of Govern
ment, it is the duty of every register
ed citizen to exercise it, but too many
have grown careless and Indifferent,
until the percentage of stay-at-home
voters has become alarming.
This apparent willingness to let
others do your thinking, and voting,
has no place in our Government, and
makes for those methods that have
enabled Hitler and his Huns to en-
force iron rule on an enslaved people.
Only by the expression OF indiyl-
dual choice, whatever it may be, can
the Government be truly representa-
tive of the people.
Our armed forces are fighting for
the right to kave Government
which is truly representative. The
least you can do for them is to keep
alive, by voting, the right our men
under colors are giving their all to
preserve.
So don't fail to go to the polls on
Tuesday next, and cast your ballot
for the candidates of your choice.

The writer has been very much en-

more l would like to hear something
lbout.
One of these is why the Emigra-
ion Office in Baltimore was abolish
ed? President F. D. r. took ONCE
Iarck 4, 1888, and on March Is,
y33, Madame Perkins, Secretary OF
labor, dismissed all persons in the
Custom House, working under Sec

consider the Emigration Depart
ment one of the most important in
he United States, as it was deport-
.ng many thousands of undesirable
aliens out of this country every year
Under President Hover's administra-
ion. Today we are reaping what our
commander in Chief has sown:
noldes of undesirable aliens with no
Emigration Department to cope with
said situation. How about it, my fell
low voters?
Under the last year in Office of
President Hoover, FDR seemed much
alarmed at the Indebtedness of our
government, as in his speech to the
IRON workers, 1882, before he became
President, he quoted at Pittsburgh:
an of hn M Ia n
on our country today" He further
stated that this money had to come
back and TIE only way it is ever COM
ing back is in the sweat OF every
mans brow, and that any government
ike any family, can spend a little
more than they earn for a period OF
one year, but you know and l know
a continuation of that habit means

sive were these solemn words. Now
is it any wonder that Mr.. Carter
Glass, "a good old Jeffersonian DEM

MAINE 10Th STATE TO VOTE TO
PROTECT ROAD FUNDS

On September 18th, the people of
Maine voted four to one to ratify an
amendment to the State Constitution
to guarantee that all automotive tax
funds shall be used exclusively for
highway financing, Mr.. John R. Sher-
wood, chairman of the Maryland Pc
troleum Industries Committee, an
nounces.
'tBy this action, Maine becomes the
18th State to adopt an amendment
dedicating all gasoline taxes, regis
tration fees and other automotive
revenue solely for highway purposes.
In five other States, action has been
initiated to submit similar amend
ments; to the people. On November
9TH, the citizens of Nebraska and
Washington will vote on anti-diver-
sion amendments to protect automo-
tive tax funds and if favorable action
is taken, II states will have adequate
protection for their highways" Sta
ted Mr.. Sherwood.
Gasoline and other automotive
taxes were instituted solely for the
purpose of pulling the country out
of the mud In Maryland, during the
30's, $15,O00,OOO of motor vehicle
revenue was used for other than high
way financing. Although, in recent
years, this practice has been reduced
in Maryland, there is no definite safe
guard for the future"
Mr.. Sherwood said, Highway U.s.
er Groups have been advocating the
adoption Of such am amendment in
Maryland. If the State is going to
have the necessary highways in the
postwar period, the unsound prac-
tice of diversion of automotive tax
funds should be forever eliminated.
Sound highway planning must con-
slider fair and reasonable taxation of
highway users and the adoption of
financing program which will guar
antee that all available highway rev.
enue will not be dissipated away
from roads by diversion. The General
Assembly, which meets in January,
should submit an Anti-diversion
Amendment to the people of Mary
land"

TO TAXPAYERS OF MARYLAND:
The State budget for the next BIZ
ennium will be placed before the
General Assembly next January.
The various departments and ag-
encies of the States are, at this time,
submitting to the Governor their re-
quests for funds to be placed in the
budget.
We may expect tie various depart
ments, ETC., to ask for as much as
possible.
We can also expect that groups
favoring various spending projects
will bring pressure to increase State
spending.
| 1t is up to the Governor to keep
departmental budget allow a g S
within the bounds of reason and eco
nomy.
Taxpayers should express theil
views to the Governor at this time
so he will know that the people OF
Maryland want State expenditures
kept as low as possible, consistent
with good government and essential
services.
The people of Maryland have made
good progress toward controlling
State spending and reducing State
taxes. But it is essential that they con
tinue their interest in the matter
and continue to express their de
mands to the Governor and to theil
State Senators and Delegates
War taxes will not end with the
coming of peace. The hundreds OF
billions we have borrowed must be
paid back to the holders of Victory
Bonds, with interest as WE'LL We mus
take care of veterans, especially the
sick, wounded and disabled. Large
military and naval expenditures may
be necessary for long time to come
all of which indicates that Federal
taxes will remain high after the war
How high no one can say until the
war is over. And the war is not over
yet.
Because large expenditures may
cotinue to be necessary in the FEEDER
al field, this is no excuse for needless
State and local expenditures. Ano
since taxes for all government-Sta
and Feredal and local, come out OF
the same pocket, we should do oul
utmost to keep all governmental
spending at minimum, at least un.
til we actually know what the future
will present.

Defrosting Fruits

There are several methods Of de-
frosting frozen fruits, depending on
the length of time you have. Thaw-
ing fruit in the refrigerator is best
because the fruit softens slowly and
evenly and still remains very cold.
This takes about six to eight hours
for a pound package. Thawing at
room temperature will take from
two to four hours but you may find
the outer portion will become warm
while the center is still very cold.
The fruit should not be removed
from the carton, because oxidation
quickly takes place darkening the
fruit and destroying the vitamin c.

Cocoa Acreage

Lower Middle America is the
home of the worlds highest yield
ing cocoa acres. In Costa RIGA, for
example, harvests have been raised
from two to three pounds of bean
pods per tree to new records OF
six to seven pounds. In 1922, 81, ZOO
acres were planted in cocoa; now,
with the fall of other supply sources
in the Far East, the country's cocoa
acreage has been increased to rs, 900.
and, according to the Costa RIGA De-
partment of Agriculture, only 10 per
cent of the land suitable for the pro-
ductive silver-dappled tree is being
utilized.

"FOREIGN. AFFAIRS"
By j. E. Jones

Washington, d. c., November L
TX ere is one side of the national po-
litical debate over foreign affairs that
has been receiving too little atten-
ton. President Roosevelt said over a
year ago: Congress in passing and
extending the Lend-Lease Act made
it plain that the United States wants
no new war debts to jeopardize the
coming peace. Victory and secure
peace are the only coin in which we
can be repaid" The President quail
fled the latter sentence, somewhat!
Now the newspapers are arguing
in tkeir editorials as to whether Uni
ted States should expect to receive
repayment from the nations we have
saved in this war, or whether the
lebt should be cancelled.
There is no rule in fiance, econo-
mics or trade by which millions or
billions of dollars are turned over to
good friends in trouble without expec
tation of repayment. The taxpayers
nave been called upon to back the
most expensive venture in all history
by reason of this war. We have loan
ed and leased to the limit to the
United Nations, principally Gerat
Britain and Soviet Russia. They owe
IS billions of dollars and there is ev-
,ry reason why they should repay it
when they can.

That will not be simple for highly

neshing in of many interdependent
1perations of many companies that
provides the complications and the
strengths of mass production. And, in
democracy like ours, these real and
imagined blocks must be met just
he same and dissolved so far as pub
ic opinion is concerned.
In saying that men of industry too
ong have been thought of by the
public not as standing FOR things,
out rather in connection with things
they were thought to be AGAINST,

negative attitudes. 1t is our job to
make clear, he said, that industry
.tands FOR capitalism as the best
means known to release individual
initiative, FOR the vitality of compe-
titive enterprise to develop oppor-
eunities for many in the land, FOR
incentive rewards to spur men on,
FOR high wages made possible
through efficiency and increased pro-
tlactivity, FOR the equities of all in
,iividuals and groups concerned, FOR
the growth of many small businesses
through the development of natural
networks of independent enterprises
where various units mutually sustain
each other, FOR the development of
know-how and FOR re-
search and an ever-advancing tech
nology in every phase of the business.
Through these approaches lies the
enc sure route to progress and to
more new products at ever lower
prices and with ever more job oppor-
tunities for all.
