TO THE CITIZENS
OF GARRETT COUNTY

AS the General Election approaches, I will try to
see and talk with many voters as cam in order to
obtain your views the various issues affecting
County and State Experiences of the past have taught
me, however, that it impossible to meet and talk with
all citizens during the of campaign For this
order that voters may have the printed word
to Judge me by rather than just hearsay shall publish
my views here, from time to time of the broad
general issues that beleVe are pertinent IN this COM
paign and | will appreciate your suggestions.
% l believe that it is the duty of a Representa-
tive to oppose unnecessary or eXravagan legislation,
and to guard against laws that may reduce the Of
our freedom. The right to choose way Of life
and to manage our own affairs, and property without
unreasonable restrictions is most precious heritage
(2) good Representative should also act as a
watch dog of the public treasury.
(3) Regardless of what my enemies saying
believe in the very best school facilities that people
afford but in the purchasing of school facilities
should strive to make dollar reach to the utmost
will do everything in my power to improve our school
system opposed to eXtraVagant bureaucracy that
robs people and does nothing to secure better educ
tional advantages for children | will cooperate in
the construction of school facilities, but
the right to criticize and expose wasteuness wherever
find it.
(4) 1 will try hard to bring about the repeal of
the Annual Assessment Law just passed at the last SEES
sion of Legislature. This is unnecessary, con
sdered piece of legislation that will cost taxpayers
many thousands of dollars and good part of the added
revenue derived from the law VIII be swallowed up in
its administration.
90 The truck weight law is another bad thing 1t
helps the Railroads and the big trucking companies at
the expense of the small individual truck owner 1t is
making it necessary for truck here in Garrett
County to sneak down roads after dark with their
loaded trucks in effort to gain livelihood Necessary,
and honest endeavor should not be made crime If |
elected will try to clarity this law, and provide, at
least that the first 5000 pounds of overweight shall not
carry fine of &c per pound The law also should
be amended that the truck haul the full amount
that the State has issued license for the truck to carry
Also discretionary powers should be restored to
Trial Magistrates to permit them to allow credit for
extra weight placed upon the loaded truck by the foma
ton Of ice and

increased opportunities for citizens. Therefore, if
elected will work to the fullest extent with any
munity that is trying to attract prospective employers
In order to get competitive basis with other
munities and to attract outside capital believe
should offer at least five years exemption from taxes
on plant and equipment to any employer of twenty-five
persons more.
