Oakland'S Tax Rate
Remains at 90 Cents
Amount Is Same AS Previous
Two Years Towns ASSeSSable
Basis Over Two Million

Oakland's city tax rate for 1919
was fixed at 80 cents on each 500 of
assessable property, the same figure
as the previous two years, it was an
rounced following meeting of the
Mayor and City Council on Monday
night.
In the estimated budget it was as
sumed that expenditures would total
SGT ,56S. Receipts we're expected to be
over $6S,000. Receipts from the water
department were calculated to be
S19,475, but expenses in this depart
ment were expected to exceed $22, 500.
The tax rate was based on an as
sessable basis of $1,000, 423, which is
an increase of over $270,000 more
than last year Added to this would
be receipts from an asse5sable basis
of corporations, etc, through the
state tax commission, the basis there
being estimated at $500,000.
Twenty-Five cents of the rate would
be used to retire bends and pay inter
est, with the remaining Is cents for
general expenses.

Adopted as the symbol of the drive,
which opens May 10th and ends June
3Oth, the covered wagon is part of a
train of 80 wagons which will tour
all 48 States. They are being flown
by air "boxcars" of the Army and
Navy from Utah to independence,
Missouri, where many of the wagon
trains began the westward journey for
the opening day ceremony, in which
Governors of three States will partici-
pate President Truman will officially
open the drive on May 10th with a
radio broadcast to be carried by the
four major radio networks.
Garrett County's practical and at
tainable quota in this drive is $4,000
in Series "E" Bonds, its share of the
Maryland quota of 12,7OO,OOO, Mr..
Riggs said.
With Treasury Secretary Snyder
at the Independence ceremony will be
Governor Dever of Massachusetts,
Governor Warren of California and
! Governor Smith of Missouri.
Following this ceremony, by airlift
again, the covered wagons will be
flown to 30 cities across the nation,
to begin regional tours. Two of the
wagons will visit Maryland.
The wagons, mounted on a special
truck and trailer unit donated by the
International Harvester and the Frue-
hauf Trailer Companies, will visit
eight Maryland cities from June 18th
through June 28th.
A unit will visit Cumberland for
two days.
The covered wagon has been chosen
as symbol for the Opportunity Drive,
Mr.. Riggs explained, first, because
this year marks the Tooth anniversa-
ny of the gold rush and in this man
ncr the Treasury is commemorative
it; and second, because the covered
wagon played a big role in transport
ing those seeking opportunity, across
the plains of the new land; and third
| because Savings Bonds offer Ameri-
cans today an opportunity to better
their fortunes, and find security for
themselves and generations to come.
A primary purpose of this Drive in
pushing the sale of "E' Bonds, which
can only be bought By individuals, is
to spread ownership Of the national
debt, said Mr.. Riggs.

Some of the thoughts arc those
put into poster by Barbara Winters,
High School senior, which won first
place in contest sponsored by the
Centennial committee, depicting two
miniature worlds with oak trees
growing from the county and show
ing one hundred years of progress.
This poster was given to Aza c.
Stanton, Jr., student in the Maryland
Institute of Art, and member of
the publicity committee, who had to
eliminate one of the worlds in order
to get it down to a size that could be
photographed and cut made from
the photograph. He added the appro-
pirate acorns around the edge and
the ribbons with 1849 and 1949 upon
them.
Stanton then made the drawing as
shown above, and the engraver COM
pleted the job.
The celebration will be observed in
Oakland August 8 to Ia.

Request For Permit
To Sell Beer Refused

The request of Samuel w. Tasker,
Jr., to obtain a license to sell beer at
d place of business, at the intersection
of the Vindex- Kitzmiller highways,
was refused at a hearing before the
board of License Commissioners in
the court house on Tuesday.
The refusal was made on the
grounds that it was not necessary for
the accommodation of the public as
there were two beer parlors within
two miles of the location, it was
stated. There is a church within 400
feet of the business and there is a
regular school bus stop at the loca-
ton, it was testified.
Two petitions we're before the COM
missioners, one against the granting
of the permit with 27S names on it,
and one in favor of the permit, with
252 names on it. w. R. Offutt and E.
Ray Jones were the attorneys for
Tasker, while w. w. Dawson argued

effect upon the fixed price structure is
obvious. More direct is the move of the
South African government to sell some
mined gold for fabrication at premium
prices, which has brought a strong protest
from the Fund. It's contention is that it
would be impracticable to prevent such
gold being diverted into the free market
and being used or boarded for monetary
purposes, with grave results upon inter-
national price stability if such diversion
should reach large proportions A similar
situation has arisen in India, where the
highest prices for free-market gold are
being paid.
While the situation has not yet become
acute, it is something that should be care
fully watched. Anything which tends to
undermine the INF agreement could have
grave repercussions upon exchange prob
lens and price levels. But the pressures
are there. and they cannot be ignored.

the State Department against any revival
of Germany as world shipping rival. And
it is understood that similar opposition is
developing in Britain. However, General
Clay is reported to have strongly stressed
the desirability of squirting the recovery of
the Western Occupation Zone by putting
idle shipyards to work and letting Germans
earn the profits to be derived from foreign
commerce.
Assuming that the idea behind the
Morgenthau Plan has been discarded, it
would seem illogical to maintain indef-
initely prohibition on German shipping.
No such policy has been applied to Japan.
There General Macarthur has encouraged
the revival of the Japanese merchant
marine, despite objections from American
ship operators and labor unions Mac
Arthur could do this because no prohibi-
ton against it had been Incorporated in
the armistice terms which ended the war
in the Far East. And this revival appears
to have notably furthered Japan's eco
nomic recovery. The parallel is obvious.

Colored Oleomar9arine


To the Editor Of The Star:
The producers of oleomargarine are wag-
ing what appears to be q successful cam
paign to get their product substituted for
butter, with coloring allowed and tax re-
moved.
Poor housewives are referred to as all
tired out due to their hard work few
minutes each week, mixing yellow pigment
into white oleomargarine to make it look
like butter, and are short of money due to
buying oleomargarine for IS cents a pound
when butter costs 10 cents or IS cents.
The name of this product is oleomar-
garine, not margarine" and it is properly
pronounced margarene, as in "gangrene,"
and not "margarin" as in "gin," as is done
on the radio promoting programs.
Why color the beautiful white oleomar-
garine? The poor housewives do not color
lard. sugar, flour or angel-food cake, with
beautiful white frosting, but use 1t in
natural color.
The tax is Of no value, except as a means
OF control, and when 1t is removed yellow
oleomargarine will be served in most eat
ing places: butter will become scarce, as
farmers cannot compete with oleomar-
garine; the price Of the substitute will in
crease rapidly and, of course, that is what
the oleomargarine producers are after
Then the poor housewives will be paying
more for oleomargarlne than they did be-
fore the tax and curbs were removed.
Take last look at butter in the stores.
