GOOD Aa44ice .

We constantly words former leaders for
spraton, Abraham Lincoln whose birthday observed
Tuesday those leaders who had abundance of things
to say that have fingered through the years.
Almost century he declared I'm all that the people
individually do we'll themselves ought
Interfere Lincoln president time when the federal
eminent had to take from its citizens rights than
before but he of the opinion along with the writer's of the
Constitution and the Declaration that government should
protect peoples independence, not push people around
But the above quoted words of Lincoln really significant
in 1852 when bent constant nterer
with economic life.
An advertisement published by electric company this
month pointed that Lincoln always reminded the nation that
the governments wartime be only temporary
like there always have been those who
want to thngsand people
The political planners Washington have the warped and mis-
taken conception that they the only
do things properly and better what's
do They constantly think why the federal
should take this that business industry
They bunch of socialists although they right
and their schemes contain socialism If the gov
eminent would just conne itself to projects which individuals
can't handle could avoid Federal deficits billion
budgets
Lincoln believed in economic and personal freedom Voters
would do well that this program could be brought

eral re-registration for Oakland vot-
ers January 28, 30 and 30, five hun

Non-Profit Group To
Operate Oakland Golf
Course During 1852

The Mayor and Town Council of
Oakland, at its regular meeting on
Monday evening, decided to accept
the third proposition offered them in
regard to operation of the municipal
golf course this year
The plan accepted was that non
profit corporation, organized by in
terested golfers, would operate the
course. 1t would be operated by a
Board of Directors selected by stock
holders and a committee approved by
the Council.
This was one Of three plans pre-
scented in January by DR.. H. X. Glib
son, Joseph P. Sollars, f. D. Bittle,
Al Marucci, Robert W. Lohr, Robert
ForShey and Earl Zepp. All profits
would remain for Improvement Of the
course and club house and such man
agement would relieve the Mayor and
Town Council of responsibility in the
matter
Forshcy presented a plan of per
sonal operation of the golf course
with securing lease in a manner
similar to that of last year when it
was leased to Paul Stockman. The
Council, however, passed over this pro-
posal in favor Of the plan presented
last month, and passed officially on
the latter.

Claim Gains In Fight
For Sales Tax Relief

Senators backing sales tax relief
claimed gains yesterday in their
quarrel with Gov McKcldin and leg
islators who prefer Is percent in
come tax cut. The first test vote on
which method the General Assembly
will choose to save taxpayers at least
three million dollars this year was
showed off until tomorrow.
The income tax cut was sponsored
by the Legislative Council with the
endorsement of Comptroller j. Mil
lard Tawcs If adopted it would al
low Marylanders to deduct IS per
cent from the tax they owe on 1851
income.
Five Democratic senator's put il
the sales tax bill. 1t would strip :
percent tax from charges for gas
electricity and household fuel This
was calculated to save 3i2 million
dollars Those who wrote this bill con
tend it would benefit more people
than the income proposal.

ReverSes Decision
In Canning Case

The Maryland Court Of Appeals
this week reversed portion of a
decision in the Mt Lake Canning
company case, that had been given
last June by Associate Judge George
Henderson.
Judge Henderson last June decrced
that the mortgage from the Mt. Lake
Canning Company, Inc, to Raymond
+. Lester and Florence A. Leister,
his wife, dated April Is, 1919, and
recorded, purporting to secure note
for the sum of $38,000 was invalid
as a mortgage against the property
therein described because it was a
mortgage for future advances.
Hearing on the matter was held in
the Circuit Court here on April 10,
1851. The Carroll County National
Bank Of Westminster, which had
loaned the company $19.500, was the
creditor bringing suit. The loan was
later reduced to $4,000.
The personal property was sold
last year to a Texas company for
$4,000 while Mr. and Mrs. Lester
purchased the real property for $32,-
500.
In the judges opinion, he declared
the mortgage invalid did not prevent
the Lcisters from claiming to the eX-
tent Of $4,000 as unsecured creditors.
After payment of expenses of the pro-
ceedings, taxes and any priority
claims which may be allowed, the re-
naming assets resulting from the
sale of the assets by the trustee were
to be divided prorata among all I'M
secured creditors in which were in
cluded the Lcisters and the bank,
Judge Henderson had stated in the
opinion.
The controversy arose as a conse-
quence of the insolvency of the can
ming company. Operations of the COM
pany were unsuccessful in 1947, 194S
and 1919.
The Court of Appeals held the
mortgage valid as to $4,000 thus
reversing Judge Henderson on this
ono item, but affirmed his opinion on
the part that Leistcrs were not re-
sponsiblc as individuals were not
liable for the debts of the corporation
on the note to the Carroll County
Bank.
