POLITICS
1--WE Have Home
Rule" Says Head
OF Dem. Caucus

Stating eve favor home rule
and always have" JamesW. Gill
chairman of the Caucus Commit
tee of the Democratic County
Congress released a statement to
the press:
"The last meeting of the Democ-
ratio County Congress approved
tie suggestion that the Democ-
ratio County Candidates be
authorized to add a home rule
Llank to be approved by 800 OF
the Democratic County Candidates
to the Democratic County Plat
form
The eighty per cent of the De
nocratic County Candidates have
authorized the following plank on
the question of home rule and it
is so included in the Democratic
County Platform.
Home Rule is the exclusive con-
troll by the voters of Montgomery
County through their locally elect
ed representatives over all laws
and ordinances which apply only
to Montgomery County. The
truth is that since 1907 no Mont
gomery law or ordinance support
ed by majority of the representa-
tives elected only by the voters of
Montgomery County has failed of
passage.
Furthermore, the legislative
powers of the locally elected
County Commissioners have been
consistently enlarged under De-
mocratic Administrations until to-
day they have at Rockville real
home rule legislative power. They
can now enact at Rockville in any
month of any year all laws and
ordinances which could constitu-
tionally be enacted under Charter
on all subjects except bond issues
or the repeal of existing law.
"The law introduced by your
locally elected representatives in
the State Legislature, which gives
these home rule legislative powers
to Montgomery County under the
present form of government and
WITHOUT recourse to the expert
ment of Charter, is found in the
Annotated Code of Maryland, title,

Start Teachers
Salary At $4,000.

Mayor Theodore k. McKeldin OF
Baltimore, candidate for Governor,
predicted victory for the Republi-
can state ticket in November be-
fore a meeting of 200 Republicans
and Independent Democrats in
the Glen Echo Fire House Monday
hight. After reviow Of recent
Political trends, Mayor McKeldin
forecast Republican majority in
Baltimore City of 10000 votes.
With the statement that the
People of Maryland "have had en-
ough of what has been going on
in Washington" McKeldin attacked
tie confusion existing in govern
ment there. He cited the failure
Of OPA to correlate prices of mat
elials with the ceiling prices on
finished products, and also com
mented on the fact that although
the United States has bought up
the entire Cuban sugar crop, not
one pound has been sent to this
country.
Turning to state issues, Mayor
McKeldin commented especially
upon overcrowded conditions in the
public schools of Maryland and the
low minimum wage scale of teach
ers. Pointing out that when he
became Mayor of Baltimore some
teachers in the schools there re-
ceived only $1,300.00 a year, he
stated that now the minimum
wage was $4,000 He stated that
he favored a beginning salary of
So, 100000 for all teachers.

Charter Says
Opponents Use
Smoke Screen

The Montgomery County Charter
Committee today charged its politi-
cal opponents with "willful misrep-
resentation of the facts" and as
serted that the attacks on the
Charter Board are a "smoke screen
thrown up to obscure the waste,
inismanagement and low political
morality existing in the county
government today"
The Committees statement
maintains that "The incumbent
political organization has tried to
give the impression that the cleo
ion of a Charter Board in the
coming November elections would
alter the form of government
without consent of the people. The
fact is that the five-man Board
would hold public hearings and
then draft charter for considera-
ton by the voters in 1948. Oppo-
rents of the Charter obviously
fear these public hearings and the
public acceptance which the hear
ings would bring about"
The statement continues: "In
their second Misrepresentation
members of the opposing faction
attack Charter as a new and un-
tried form of government The
fact is that a large number of
cities and communities in the
United States now operate sue
cessfully under similar govern
ments.
"The third Justification charges
that Charter is a political weapon
Of the Republican Party. The fact
is that the Charter is non-partisan,
with both Democrats and Republic
cans on its Board of Directors.
More of the Board members are
Democrats than Republicans, in
recognition of the fact that there
are more registered Democrats
than Republicans in the county.
OF the candidates for election to
the Charter Board, three are De-
and two Republicans.
"The fourth charge, too obvious
ly untrue to need an answer, is the
claim made by political
machine workers that the Charter
means Communism. This is on a
rar with the deliberate falsehood
circulated in 1914 by the same
politicians who told the colored
voters that Charter was a white
mans scheme to take away their
vote.
"These untruths are obviously
nothing more than smoke screen,
thrown up to obscure the waste,
hismanagement and low political
existing in the county
today"
Stating, at would take a book
as long as the Bookings Institu-
TONS famous report on the Mont
gomery County government to
cover all of the types of bad gov
ernment," The Charter Committee
cnumerates long list of charges,
against the present government
end ends thus. "The Charter Com
mittee does not charge that Mont
gomery County has the worst
government in the country. 1t does
charge, however, that it is very far
from the best. Montgomery citi-
zens want the best!"
