Dispensary System
For Cecil County

If it's a case Of Dispensing With
the Liquor business, I'm all for it..
But if it means, as fear it does, TAX
ing the liquor business out Of the
hands of one group of people because
they are making money out of it, and
giving it to another group, namely
the whole population of the county,
to make as much money out of as
possible, the menace of the traffic
land TO traffic) will be no less and
possibly greater.
l, for one, and l think / speak for
large group in Cecil County, do not
want to pay taxes to the County to
be used to buy liquor and set up a
business which may make more mon
ey, but also may add much to the cost
of maintaining the county, as tie
same business in private hands is
doing now because of careless living
and crime, Juvenile delinquency and
kindred evils.
AS for putting it in the hands of
the County Commissioners, are they
not now the County License Board,
responsible to the County for every
license in the County? If they cannot
control them what assurance can we
expect that they could if they would
control their chosen dealers, under
the proposed system?
1t is true that some Counties in
Maryland and some adjoining states
have County or State Dispensary Sys-
TENS. These generally were adopted
when liquor returned to legal status
but can it be proved that any county
or state has noticeably reduced its
tax rate as result?
1t is true we need more money
| for schools but wo do not need the
money of the parents to pass through
| the hands of the liquor vendors be-
lore it can be used to educate the
| children Let them help support the
schools by more direct taxation and
| The result will be far better.

Assembly Given
Measures For
Veterans Aid

Declaring that Maryland can new
err fully repay the debt we owe to ting
men and women of the Armed Ser
vices" Governor Herbert r. O'Conor
has had introduced in the General
Assembly number of measures de-
signed to insure for returning Veter-
ans benefits commensurate with their
sacrifices.
In order that all veterans can re-
ceive full information with respect
to their rights, and advice and assis-
lance in achieveing them, one OF the
bills provides for the establishment
of information centers in convenient
locations throughout the State where
the returning service men and women
can consult with competent and ex-
perienced personnel trained for this
purpose.
Another measure sponsored by the
Governor provides for the re-employ-
ment of any veteran who left a per-
manent position with tke State or
any of it's political subdivisions to
enter the Armed Forces. This was
necessary, Governor O'Conor explain
ed, since the provisions of the Fed
eral law would not be applicable to
States, counties and municipalities.
Other proposals of the Chief Exc
cutive extend the Merit System pre-
ference now granted to veterans OF
World War II and continue the ben,
4hn ~ nj Conn
pensation Law to persons in military
service to March 81, 1947, measure
expected to bring far-reaching bene
fits to the veterans.
In order to eliminate possible con
fusion, a new Article of the Code en-
titled Veterans" is proposed and tho
23 SECTIONS dealing with Veterans
Guardianship would be transferred
to this Article. Similarly, other Sec
tions granting veterans certain priv
leges in connection with the license
laws and the Veterans Relief Fund
provisions also would be amended
and transferred to the new Article
A study of proposed veterans leg
islation by the Committee appointed
by Governor O'Conor brought out the
fact, Governor O'Conor revealed il
his message to the Legislature. thai
the present laws of the State will en-
able veterans to participate in the
loan features of the G. I. Bill o.
Rights through the State Banks ant
financial institutions, thus avoiding
the necessity of special State legis
lation.
''Our debt to our service men ant
women is one that cannot be dischar
ged by resolutions and monuments,
Governor O'Conor made clear in ask.
ing favorable consideration of veter
ans proposals submitted.
