Dewey to tie the tag oI ISOLATION
ism on President Roosevelt and
lay at his door the blame for our
unpreparedness for war reaches,
to our mind, the height of ridi-
culousness and does no credit To
the governors intelligence. In
his speeches, literally inter-
spersed with vituperatlon and
asinine name calling, can be
found the endorsement Of virtu-
ally the entire Roosevelt social
program and foreign policy. and
his claim to the presidency seems
to be based on his assumption
that he could administer them
better. In the face OF perhaps
the most critiacl times in our
history il is a weak and futile
stand on which TO base a claim
for the highest office OF our land.
Walter Lippman expressed this
forcefully and brilliantly IN a
recent column:
1.-THE choice, now, is not be-
tween President Roosevelt and
the faultless President. II is be-
tween Roosevelt with all his
faults and Dewey with all his
faults, and thus, reluctantly-be-
cause | dislike four terms and
would have preferred a change
II cannot feel that Governor
Dewey can be trusted with re-
sponsibility in foreign affairs. He
has so much TO learn. and there
would be no time for him to
learn it, that the risk and cost of
a change during this momentous
year seems TO be too great
We agree with Mr.. Lippman
and each succeeding talk BY Gov
ernor Dewey makes our eonvie-
ton even firmer that he has
neither the stature nor ability to
tit him for the presidency.

POSTWAR PROJECTS TOTAL
$4,000, 100000

With s 10000, 100000 worth of
building and road construction work
already charted by the State, and
architects and road engineers def
nitely assigned to bring the projects
up to point where construction can
be begun Immediately the war ends,
Maryland has made most encour-
aging start towards meeting the
employment problem of the postwar
era, Governor Herbert R. O'Conor
told Rotary members and civic lead
ers of Worcester and adjoining
counties. e
With Mrs. O'Conor, the Governor
was guest of honor at reception
given at Snow Hill, by the ladies of
Worcester county, following the Ro-
tary meeting. At Salisbury, where he
spent the night, he participated in
conferences on Saturday morning re-
garding matters of interest to the
lower Eastern Shore.
Stressing Maryland vulnerability
from the employment standpoint in
the postwar period, because of the
several hundred thousand out-Of-
State workers now employed within
the State. and pointing out that even
the huge Unemployment Compensa-
ton reserves of the State, approx
mately $90,O0O,00O.0 at the present
time, would melt quickly during a
period of continued unemployment,
Governor O'Conor warned that "nev.
er must we lose sight of the fact
that in this Nation of free enterprise,
where initiative and industrial fore
sight have been the factors that made
it great, private industry must al
ways bear the primary responsibility
for furnishing employment to the
great bulk of our people. Even the
$40, 900, 100000 of work planned by
State and counties would be no more
than a 'stopgap'," he said.
Making a plea for alertness to pre-
serve the States inherent rights,
Governor O'Conor declared that "the
war and it's necessities have empha-
sized most convincingly the fact that,
in activities where unity of effort is
essential, the people of the States,
working under leadership from with
in their own borders, are effective
to a point that could never be reach
ed by groups working under remote
control from Federal bureaucracy. F"
In urging support for the Fourth
War Loan Campaign, Governor o.
Conor pointed out that Maryland
taxpayers will have nearly $S,00O,-
10000 additional to invest in war
bonds because the State Administra-
ton has been alert to consider the
interests of our citizens in the field
of taxation"

WHEN DISASTER STRIKES

While the American Red Cross,
through it's various services to our
men in the armed forces, is engaged
IN it's largest job both overseas and
in the military and naval posts in this
country, it's peacetime work must go
IN unhampered. There is it's Dis
Aster Service for example.
In the year just past, disasters
natural. and otherwise-struck on
the home front 178 times. A total
of 1,O1O lives were lost and 3,2O3
persons were injured through these
disasters. More than $1,000 buildings
were destroyed and forty-five states
affected. The Red Cross rendered EN-
Urgency aid to 1925 persons.
What is "Disaster?" A flood plays
havoc with a community, causing suf-
fering and privation to many people.
A large fire makes many homeless
and for time in need of life's neces-
stiles. A hurricane whirls through.
demolishing buildings, crops, and
causing helplessness on many sides.
These and any similar situations
which cause extensive need for en-
Urgency assistance are considered
under the Red Cross head of "disas-
ter"
In such instances the American
Red Cross is on the job promptly and
takes over, sets UP. and operates the
machinery of relief until normal con-
ditions are restored. Since there is
a Red Cross chapter in practically
every county in the United States,
disaster relief can be gotten quickly
under way; years of experience have
taught the best methods of operation.
OF the 178 disasters which occur
red last year, sixty-eight were fires,
forty-two floods, and thirty-two tor
nadoes. Others were plant and mine
disasters and train, airplane and bus
wrecks.

REGULATIONS PROTECT
Young TIMBER

To privide for adequate growing
stocks of young timber in woodland
areas throughout Maryland, the Com
mission of State Forests and Parks
has established regulation which
specifies the number of sound. thrift
ty trees of commercial species to be
left standing after numbering opera
tons, State Forester Joseph F. Kay
lor announces This action on the
part of the commission is taken il.
accordance with the terms of the
Forest Conservancy Districts Act,
which went into effect the first of the
year.
AS drawn, the regulation provides
that there shall be left one hundred
trees from 4 0 to SO in diameter at
~ feet above the ground, or TWEEN
ty trees from 90 to 11.9 inches. or
eight trees of diameters IL inches
and up. In addition, all sound, thrift
ty young trees less than inches in
diameter must be left standing, with
due care taken to prevent their in
jury during the logging.
This regulation, Mr.. Kaylor says,
calls for nothing more than the prac-
tice ordinarily followed by timber
owenrs who aim to keep their hold
ings continuously productive. 1t rep
resents, he goes to say, common
sense provision for future timber
crops and steady money returns for
landowners. 1t will mean also, he
points out, that our wood-using in
dustries will not have to go outside
the State for most of their raw ma
terials, as they do now at an added
cost for freight charges. Landowners
and local wood-using industries, Kay
lor declares, will profit equally from
home grown timber.

MILK MEANS MUNITIONS

Dairy farmers who live near Pu-
sblo, Colo, are not letting a milk
shortage hamper that booming war
own. They have met threat OF
shortage, the War Food Administra-
ion says, with planned program
Of increased production that has
raised their milk output in two years
from 1890 to $500 gallons daily.
The citizens of Pueblo mine coal,
make coal, melt and mold, artillery
Shells and forge steel armor needed
for the war. The city people need
more milk than they required in
1912, and their rural neighbors in
Pueblo County have quickly organic
ID to end the danger of a milk short
age A group of 43 farm families de-
serves much of the credit for the in
rease of 1900 gallons in the daily
supply. With production loans and
killed advice in herd management
rom the Farm Security Aministra-
ion these farmers added 3S3 cows
o their herds, built or remodeled 81
AIRY barns, bought coolers and filter
Equipment, and adjusted their milk
ng methods to meet strict inspection
landards.
All 43 of the farmers have been
ncouraged to grow the feed their
livestock requires, and to raise pro-
luction goals no higher than family

re secure from feed shortages and
.ifficulties in finding outside labor.

CCC WHEAT LOANS LEAD IN
MARYLAND

Maryland farmers borrowed ST.
$4,000 in crop loans from the Com
modify Credit Corporation during
he last fiscal year. Joseph H. Bland
ord, chairman of the Maryland Agri-
cultural Adjustment Agency, announ-
ces. Loans are made through AAA
offices.
Wheat loans accounted for all but
$4,000 of the State total. Since
corn prices were higher than loan
valuees only $1,000 was borrowed on
that crop.
These government loans permit
he farmer to store his crop until
market prices rise above the harvest
low. Wheat equivalent to the loans
is placed in the Ever Normal Granary
until the borrower liquidates his
loan.

PROPOSED TAX AMENDMENT

AS March Is draws nearer, the
average family will realize that next
to winning the war, the most press
ing public problem is taxation.
Published newspaper reports show
that the national income for 1943
is estimated at $4,000, 900, as
compared with 100000 in
1889. War taxes to absorb abnormal
earnings from war production, are
justified. But when peace comes, our
nation should be prepared to immed-
lately adopt revised tax schedule,
or progress will be stif1ed.
To meet this situation, constitu-
tional amendment limiting the power
of Congress to impose taxes on in
comes, inheritances, and gifts to a
maximum rate of 259 has been pro-
posed, except in case of war emer-
gency. If the legislatures of two
thirds of the states adopt resolution
requesting Congress to call con-
vention for proposing an amend
ment to the Constitution, Congress
must comply. Fifteen states have
passed such resolution.
Here is definite program looking
to the formulation of a practical
peacetime tax structure. We should
not wait until the momentum of in
dustry has been slowed down before
providing an incentive to keep it
rolling.

NEWSPAPERS SHRINK in SIZE

The shrinking size of newspapers
and magazines caused by paper shor-
tage arising from war conditions has
led to a variety of reactions. The pub
fishers have been apologizing and ex-
planning to their readers that they
were caught in set of conditions
wholly beyond their control, that it
was not done to save expenses, be-
cause fewer pages mean fewer ad-
vertisements and, therefore, less rev.
enue. Neither was it done to deprive
the reader of his favorite column or
story or comic or some other feature
the daily reading of which had be-
come a fixture in his life.
Then came the curtailing of paper
allotments from Washington and the
publishers had to figure what to do
with only half or two-thirds of the
pages they formerly had. Would
they completely eliminate several
features and departments or would
they carry the same items in abbre-
waited form?
Some publishers have adopted the
first of these policies and other pub
fishers have adopted the latter. But
in the meantime they have been hear
ing from their readers and many OF
these have told them that not apol-
ogies but congratulations were in
order because the smaller paper
meant the reader could get through
it that much more quickly and any
way the bulk of the contents printed
in normal times was rubbish--yes
rubbish. They were that emphatic
about it all.
Well, the publishers have respond
ed with a further explanation. They
point out that it is not intended that
the average reader would carefully
read a paper from page one to page
twenty or thirty or however many
pages might be printed on given
day. But it was intended that each
reader should find at least one item
of interest to him or her, and as for
rubbish what one reader regarded
as rubbish might be the very feature
that caused another to buy the paper.
Reports indicate that just as soon
as conditions permit the publishers
will return to their prewar size pa
pers and magazines and gladly.
