"The many new department
heads and new departments and
other expenditures that the Char
ter authorizes will undoubtedly
result in greater public spending
and higher taxes.
II do not understand the ap-
parent approval of the Charter
by some Republican County po-
litical leaders and even by indi-
viduals who have been elected to
the county Republican State Cen
trail Committee because by this
action they are supporting the
elimination, not only of their own
party, but of the two-party sys-
tenn in future Montgomery Coun-
ty elections. Certainly their party
duty would appear to be to OPP
pose any system of government
that does away with the Repub-
lican Party and the two-party
system.
Republican County political
leaders who support the Charter
plan appear TO be making a
costly error in judgment from the
standpoint of their own party's
interest. With Montgomery Coun-
ty growing as it is and county
elections becoming constantly
more turbulent, in some election
the Republican County candidates
are sure to make a clean sweep
under the present system. Then
If they made a good record, the
Republican County administra-
ton would have every chance of
staying in office.
eff the Charter is approved, the

The Charter
FOR


they have ever had to put some Of
their outstanding citizens in office
because they will not be dependent
upon a political machine to nomi.
nate them, but can place them OF
the ballot by petition.
At present there is onlyone mar
above Rockville who is a represen.
tative to the House of Delegates
in Annapolis.
The opposition would have you
believe that the Council will have
very little jurisdiction over county
affairs. In answer 10 that we wish
to call to your attention that the
State Constitution gives all aut-
hority now vested in the County
Commissioners to the County
Council under the Charter.
Mrs. Vestus Wilcox of Laytons-
vile, member of one of the first
families of Montgomery Co. and a
past president of the Montgomery
County Women's Federated Clubs,
in talk before group of citizens
in Poolesville on Thursday evening,
September 18th brought out tn,
important facts to be known about
the Council-Manager plan of 60
vernment given to us in the Char
ter.
She stated "up to the year 1900
local government had no system
at all and in Montgomery County
there is still very little system, but
our communities grew and even
our smallest communities began
providing services which the people
wanted and which they could pro-
vide collectively. These services
create technical, not political prob
lens. In the cities and counties
that have Council Manager plan
it has been proven that these SER
vices can be better supplied with
the Council-Manager form of 60
vernment than with the Commits
sioner form. This is nc radical
move Or untried form of Govern
ment because it is operating in
562 cities and counties.
Under the charter we will elect
our policy making board, but ap-
point our administrator. Mrs. Will
cox said 1--WE today demand of our
County Commissioners an impos-
sible task. How does a $4,000, 900
business operate successfully?
Why, with an efficient executive,
who in turn is responsible to a
board Of directors. If that execu-
tive is not efficient, he is fired.
The County Council will be cleo
ted every four years and will ap-
point County Manager who will
be fired if he does not dc the job
well.
1t is impossible to enumerate all
the different ways in which pro-
gress can be made. Permanent adj
vances can be, by increasing the
intelligent interest of citizens ir
public affairs and in the county
that is possible by electing on a
nonpartisan basis. Ministers, whose
congregations may feel that they
should not be a part of partisan
politics will have no hesitancy in
seeing that their leaders take an
active part in such a splendid
movement as the adoption of the
charter. If there ever was time
in the history of our nation that
we needed spiritual guidance, it is
today"

SPECULATION ON
 WAR BOND DRIVE

New York, Oct. 3-The continued lack of details from the treasury concerning the coming Sixth War Loan drive Is beginning to cause some of the New York financial dis- trict's bond crowd to wonder wheth. CT that campaign might not be post' poned beyond November, Business Week says in on article in its cur- rent issue.
 "Wall Street." says the pubiica. ton, "belieYeB now that the Treas lFy enjoys c comfortable cash posi-. ton without any new borrowing during the rest of io44.

Hopkins Offers Post War
 Formula For Prosperity
Adviser of President Roosevelt Writes Special Article on Tax Reduction as Encouragement to Free Enterprise - Depression Must
 Be Averted by Employment.

Reduced taxation encouragement of small business and free enter. pFise higher wages, broader social security benefits, preservation Of the competitive system, and gov- ernment spending only to supple ment individual effort constitute Q formula offered in c signed article in the November Issue of The Amer lean Magazine by Harry l., Hops kins to provide jobs for oil and bet' ter the American standard of living in the postwar world.
 we must make Up our minds now that the opportunity to work must be provided for oil who are able and willing to work" writes Mir Hopkins who as Presidents closest adviser shaped much of the "New Deal" legiSiation. If we are going to avoid millions out of work fot long stretches we must produce at least half again as much aB VIZ ever did in the very best Of peaee- time years"
 Avoid Depression
 To prevent a postwar era Of job' lessness, depression and poverty the White House intimate who fires quently has expressed administra' ton views says we must; CD eX' pand industry by removing excess profit taxes and attracting risk capital and new businesses; (2) stimulate buying power by inereas' ing minimum wages and lifting taxes from those who earn the least C3) develop more foreign markets for our goods: (4) provide more benefits for more people under so' cial security: (6) replace oil anti auAted industrial tools and equip' ment; and (O develop stun clear ance and housing projects prin' cipaily through private enterprise
 Free enterprise cannot Do threat ened as long as we remain eilter- prising and use our heads like free men" Mir. Hopkins states. "America'a 'a economic future and sustained prosperity iie more in expanding the consumption and raising the stand- ard of living of her masses than in any other single direction A constant reliance upon large-Scale government spending, with the res

 "First of oil, tho excess profits tax should be removed aS soon after the war ag the threat of inAation justifles Depreciation rates should Do permitted to vary in ace cordanee with actual capital OK. penditrue Of business Individual income tax rates in the upper brackets must not Do SO high aS to remove incentives for assuming risks,
 "seeond, continued and increased application Of anti.trust controls are needed to stimulate investment by avoiding the restrictive effects of monopoly and to ensure the ifl. creased efficiency of American efi' terprise.
 Third, special financial assistance should be provided during the period Of readjustment and thereafter to small business. This assistance must not take the form of dole, but rather c eif.liquidating means for financing sound new enterprise,
 Fourth, care must be exercised in the disposition of facilities and war Surpiuses SO aS to minimize the interference with private production and maxinize the output of private establishments. Like, in the sale Of war plants, monopoly must not be strengthened"
 Recommendations
 MT. Hopkins offers these reeonl- ifiendations to stimulate postwar business investments and eXpendi- lures.
 Minimum wages should Dc raised by legislation from the present level of 70 cents af hour to ct least 90 cents and subsequently, to 60 cents an hour .. We can stimulate buying power by lifting tax burdens of the people with low incomes. I btAlSNV WI bHOuAd uGGtPb pAlG pEAA~ eiple that persons earning less than, let us say, SIS per week, regardless of their dependents, should pay no taxes, direct or indirect.
 Our social security system should Do revised to provide more complete coverage of the population longer duration of benefits, and higher benefits. Unemployment compensa- ton needs to be made national in benefits and financing .. We should have Q definite policy of slum clear. ance and housing developments, principally by private enterprise. , Similarly, adequate medical care must be available at all income levels. The health of the American people can be improved through health insurance and increased public services. We do not need soc ciallzed medicine to do the job."
 When making loans to foreign countries the United States should avoid "the mistake of the twenties when we made loans to foreign gov. ernments which spent the money in their own countries instead of the United States" says Mir. Hop. kins. Whenever loans are made, he asserts they should be used eX. clusiveiy to pay for food, goods, and equipment grown or manufactured In the United States"
