no trip into the county seat was
complete without chat with
Carey Kingdom which usually re-
suited in an item in The Star the
next day.
Mr.. Kingdom was an active Re
publican and served for the past
II years as the Republican mem
Der of the Board of Supervisors Of
Elections for Montgomery County
and for a number of years before
that was clerk to the board.
Survivors include his wife, Mrs.
Hattie c. Kingdom, who retired

Schools; a daughter, Miss Mary r.

Tor 80 days every second year.
During that period it passes laws
for all the counties and munich
palities as well as for the state
itself. Members of the General
Assembly are paid $1,000 a year
and serve for four year terms.
Each county has one senator and
delegates according to popula-
ton. Montgomery County has
six, the maximum.
A member of the General AS
sembly must be a resident of the
! county from which he is chosen for
at least three years; he must be
% if senator and 81 years old if
a Delegate. He must not hold any
civil or military Office under the
United States, and cannot be a
minister or preacher of any re.
ligious creed.
Contending in the coming
election for th2 one post. as State
Senator are Joseph A. Cantrel,
Democrat, and Roy Tasco Davis,
Republican. Though the plat
forms of the two parties differ
greatly, by an odd coincidence the
ideas of Mr.. Cantrel and Mr..
Davis are very similar. That was
shown in the QUESTIONABLE in the
Voters Guide put out by the
Montgomery County League Of
Women Voters recently. Among
the many points which the men
agreed upon were these three: Will
Jou actively work for and vote for
the repeal of the Declaration of
Intentions Act in the 1947
session? Will you actively work
for and vote for jury service for
women in the 1947 session? Do
you think that the passage of a
real Home Rule bill would enable
the General Assembly to give NOR,
time and attention to legislation
that effects the state as whole?
They voted Eyes" on all three
points. Mr.. Cantrel stating, how
ever that he would vote for the
repeal "if it did not interfere with
more important legislation"
Mr. Cantrel is a resident Of
Chevy Chase, with law office in
Rockville. He was a member Of
the House Of Delegates from 1884
to 80 and at present is counsel to
the Board of County Commits

On October I, the Field Division

er Committee report that it turn
ed in to the Board of Registration
in Rockville 1900 citations of vot-
els who had died or left the
county since the last general
election. Republicans, always cite
Democrats, and Democrats always

partisan, cited members of both
parties. This is part of its good
government policy-to clear the
books for election day.
In checking the voters lists, the
Charter Committee found the
Eames many people who had not
left the county but had moved to
another election district. The
record can be Strengthened out if

~Sherbow Gives Portion
OF State Taxes To Counties

PAS well as the country, are in an
era of rising costs. The expense
Of performing most governmental
functions has increased substan-
TALLY during recent years. The
Commission feels that the State,
with it's greater resources and
greater taxing powers, is in a
far better position to raise
the additional revenues which may
be needed.
"The State, as well as the local
Units, must strive to eliminate
waste in every form of govern
nlsnt and to effectuate every eco
romy which can fairly and proper
ly be made.
an SO far as is practical the
tax burdens within the State
should be uniform as to base and
rate, with the exception Of the
tax on real property. Local tax
rate variations should not result
in unduly heavy tax burdens in
any locality"
In releasing the report Governor
Herbert r. O'Conor said:
81 accept the conclusion Of the
Sherbow Commission and endorse
in principle the proposals advocat-
&C."
Particularly do favor the re-
aDportionment of revenues among
the local subdivisions. 1t is to the
interest of the entire State that
these subdivisions be financially
sound, and that tax revenues be
eguitably divided"
