Controller Criticizes
Court for Releasing
Sales Tax VioIafor
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

TOWSON, Md, Mar. 16.-State
Controller James J. Lacy termed
"disgraceful" judges decision not
to fine or send to Jail a man who
pleaded guilty to charges of violat-
ing the Maryland Sales Tax Act.
Mr.. Lacy issued his statement
yesterday after Judge John B. Con-
trum released Philip Ellis, Balti-
more County night club proprietor,
on his promise to pay s700 in sales
levy collections to the State, plus a
$3.50 penalty for tardiness.
Judge Centrum, sitting In the
Baltimore County Circuit Court,
said 1t did not believe Mr.. Ellis
meant to wilfully evade the sales
tax law"
The State controller, on learning
Of the verdict, said that "if the peo-
pie are going to ignore the laws,
there Is no sense of passing them
unless we get some enforcement
from the bench.
Mine out of 10 people pay the
sales tax. If one doesn't he should
be penalized. Otherwise, why should
the other nine have to pay?"
It was the first criminal prosecu-
ton in a court of record under the
State.

First Fund Bill Sent
|ToConferees AfterCu
By the Associoted Press

Congress sent it's first regular ap-
preparation bill, that for a score OF
independent Offices, to conference
today to iron out a $23,813,O 900 dif-
ference.
The Senate approved a $685., ,7O5,-
SOL appropriation late yesterday. 1t
slashed President Trumans $1,0OO,-
600 request for his special emergency
fund to 100000.
The Senate figure Is $23,813, 900
less than the sum approved by the
House. 1t also is $50, 1913 under
the total asked by Mr.. Truman.
Normally it is the House that wields
the sharper ak on presidential ap-
preparation requests.
Although the Senate reduced the
Presidents emergency fund by
100000, it did appropriate $780,
600 for personal services of the
White House staff, which the Pres
ident did not request.
This, in effect, reduced the net
cut for the White House to $700,-
600 or 100000 less than approved
by the House.
Covered in the bill are such agen-
cies as the Bureau Of the Budget,
Federal Communications Commits
sion, Federal Trade Commission,
Federal Works Agency, Interstate
Commerce Commission and Public
Roads Administration.

The Job Is Not Done
Fairbanks News Miner)

(FalrDanKS News Mlner)
 Misunderstanding those in the Fourth Division have paid their money and made their choice
 Not all the ballots are totted up yet but the line up for the 1948 Territorial Legislature is fairly well visible
 Democrats predomnate in both Houses in returns from all sections of the Territory.
 In year when the national Democratic Party has never before been confronted by more formidable ammunition of it's manufacture, the Alaska vote may surprise to those who try to interpret Territorial politics in terms of the national trend
 This, of course, is impossible
 Alaskans perhaps than any other voting Americans known for their determination to elect the they want rather than permitting themselves to be ground through the mill of party machinery
 To proclaim a Democratic landslide in the Alaska election would be to spout a statistical truth and factual misrepresentation.
 The fact is the majority of men chosen by their fellow Alaskans to represent them in Juneau are Democrats The equally evident fact is that these named because of personal knowledge or belief part of their supporters that they pos- sess qualifications which will make them valuable in Juneau. That they weer also members of or endorsed by the Democratic Republican party issue aside from who and how trustworthy they
 It is difficult to believe, for instance, that man with the standing of Frank Barr would have gone down to defeat had he been Republican instead of a Democrat The examples multiplied in any reading of the latest returns.
 Aaskans have made their choice clear.
 This is a circumstance which must not be forgot ten when the gavel raps and the measures do pass in Juneau.
 The men Alaskans have chosen are sincere men, pledged to do good for those that chose them
 The job of the voter is not done once his ballot is in the box
 Shipping at his elected representative, ridiculing his efforts dstorting peculiar personal traits into political dsparagement is not the job
 The job is continued support and cooperation
 Anything less is breach of faith.
