State Roads Group
Wants Law Raising
Car License Fees

The State Roads Commission, in
letters to members Of the legis-
lature this week, urged them to al
low the increase in automobile
registration fees. 1t pointed out
the states 1855 highway construc-
ton program would be adversely
affected by some So million dollars
and the road program curtailed if
the original program was not al
lowed to continue as scheduled.
The rates are to go up unless the
Legislature throws up roadblock.
The increase from S15 and $50 on
passenger cars to $23 and $50 with
corresponding hikes on trucks
originally were planned to help fl
nance the 12-year road building
program authorized in 1858.
Democratic majorities in the
Legislature felt they were I'M
necessary and last year passed
bill putting off the increases until
1856. Gov. McKeldin vetoed it on
grounds it would seriously impede
the progress of the program and
the State Roads commission has
mailed each legislator an urge to
sustain him.
The letter from Russell H. Nc
Cain, chairman of the State Roads
commission, included figures re-
Gently compiled outlining the losses
in highway funds which would be
sustained by each one of the coun-
ties as well as the State and Balti-
more City, if the proposed increase
in fees does not become effective.
1t estimated the proposed in
creases in Maryland motor vehicle
registration fees would be shared
by the counties and Baltimore city.
Garrett county would receive $685.
1872; Allegany, $56,654; Washing
ton, $68,9O4, and others in pro
portion. The amounts are based on
State road mileage in the counties.
Garrett county's basis is 756.985
miles.
The sponsor of the delaying bill
already has said he would not OPP
pose the veto because the bill in
question wouldn't become effective
until June and new registrations
are due in March. Instead he will
introduce two new bills offering a
choice of immediate postponement
or canceling of the increases in
definitely.
The registration fees are split
three ways, so percent to the state,
30 percent to Baltimore city and
20 percent to the counties. The
Commission is limited to using its
share for maintenance of roads.
The commission urged that the
higher registration fees go into eff
feet this year as planned original
ly because it is running ahead of

With the closing of the 1854

important distributors and deal

had done exactly that. The
move was made without public
announcement. When news of it
finally broke from other sources,
the Commission issued state
ments endeavoring to justify the
action on the ground that it was
all for the good of the merit
principle, a conclusion offensive
to facts and common sense.
ut is noteworthy that this
has become accepted Commits
sion practice; each retreat before
the onslaught of the spoilsmen
is accompanied by pronounce.
ments seeking to justify the
backward march as being in the
best interest of civil service.
"The growing emphasis on
patronage is to be found over
wide areas in the executive
branch and unfortunately it has
infected some personnel officials
who, like the Civil Service Com.
mission, should be most stalwart
in their defense of the merit
principle. 10
y 'It must be borne in mind that
rules, regulations, laws and
statements of high resolve are
not in themselves sufficient to
guard against return to the
spoils system.
"The prime requisite, above all
else, is determination in respon-
sible quarters to resist the i'm
portunities of those who are
tireless and ingenious in their
efforts to destroy the civil serv-
ice system, built up slowly
through the years from admins
tration to administration without
regard to political party.
1.-THE Executive Council calls
attention to the fact that in some
of the most responsible quarters
today that determination appar-
emily is lacking and in its place
is found a shocking willingness
to attempt to give an aura of
sanctity to acts of outright spoils-
manship.
"These are the facts and they
are on the record. They should
be known to every American, for
the merit principle, fearlessly,
forthrightly administered, is the
key to good government, to eff.
cient government, to honest gov
eminent and to more economical
government,
"The danger signals h "a We
flashed. Immediate protective
action is imperative"

Rockville Unit
Backs Voters
League Plans

The Rockville unit of the
Montgomery County League of
Women Voters held its regular,
bi-monthly meeting Monday, Jan.
10, at the home of Mrs. Bernard
Kahn, 1903 Vandegrift Avenue.
The discussion centered on two
subjects. First, the proposed
legislation that will be acted on
by the present session of the
legislature in Annapolis. Second,
suggestions for agenda on state
and local levels to be studied
by league members in the fol
lowing year.
The League has expressed its
approval of legislative action in
several fields. On the local
level, discussion centered on the
planning problems facing the
county. The members strongly
favored creation of a single,
locally appointed and financed
planning agency. On the state
level, the League members sup
port a revision of the corrupt
practises act, with emphasis on
the necessity for prediction
financial reports. They agreed
that the adoption law should be
strengthened to limit adoption
to licensed agencies or natural
parents, and that there was a
need for detention homes in the
State, to prevent placing of juve-
niles under temporary custody,
with Jail inmates. Also, they
supported separation of the judi
cial and administrative functions
of the State Tax Commission.
The Rockville unit holds it's
meetings regularly on the second
and fourth Mondays of each
month. These meetings are open
to anyone interested in studying
or acting upon governmental
issues on the local, State, or ma
tional level. Watch the SentinePs

Dangers in iSpOiLs Attack

Declaring that "the danger

Council of the National Fedora
ton of Federal Employees, meet
ing at the organizations national
headquarters here, this week
called attention to serious viola
tons" of the merit principle in
the Federal service and urged
positive action to halt spoils at.
lacks on the civil service system.
The following statement was
authorized by the Executive
Council:
1.-THE Executive Council of the
National Federation of Federal
Employees views with grave con-
Germ both actions and tendencies
which are plainly directed to.
ward a weakening of the merit
principle in the Federal civil
service system.
1.-THE setting up of a system of
political clearance for positions
in virtually all categories of EN-.
ployment, the growing volume of
positions removed from regular
civil service requirements ir
many departments and agencies
and the recent removal of u. S
deputy marshal positions from
the merit system all are symp
toms of trend which should be
alarming to every American citi
zen interested in good govern
ment.
Especially disturbing is the
fact that the United States Civil
Service Commission, which
should. stand as a bulwarR
against assaults by spoilsmer
upon the merit system, has ap
proved steps which cannot fail to
undermine the merit principle.
"For example, in removing the
deputy marshal positions from
normal civil service rules anc
regulations and making then
available for patronage appoint
ment by the Justice Department
the Commission has Haunted the
repeatedly expressed will of Con
gress.
"For years legislation was pro
posed to put these positions or
the spoils block. In every in
stance the legislation was defeat
ed by wide margin. Congress
made it Enthusiastically clear that
it would not be party to this
Kind of patent and whole re
