AHot Letter From
Our article on US. viee-presidents brings
a spirited response from one Of them

know because with other members of
the farm group | met with Dawes in
his office in the Capitol to plan farm
legislation which Coolidge later vetoed.
Dawes was a sop which the Republican
Convention Of 1924 threw to appease
the farmers who, in 1924, were suffer-
ing much as they are today.
Teddy Roosevelt, when he was
picked in 1900, did not stand for the
cautious Mckinley policies. Neither
Mark Hanna nor Mckinley wanted
Roosevelt but Senator Plat. the boss
of New York State, said, HE will do
less damage there than any other spot
we could put him."
Charles w. Fairbanks, who
was picked as vice-preSident to run
with Teddy Roosevelt in 1904, was
Mark Hanna man and had no great
admiration for the head of the ticket.
Senator Curtis opposed the naming
of Hoover for president at the Repub-
lican Convention in 1923 but was him
self named for vice-president.
On the other side of the picture we
must admit that Thomas R. Marshall
and Wilson pulled together as har-
moniously as Eisenhower and Nixon
today. So true was Marshall to Wilson,
that when Wilson was disabled he re-
fused to take on any of the response
biIities of the presidency which he
might conStitutionally have assumed.
To similar but not quite the same
degree Nixon kept himself in the back
ground while Eisenhower was disabled.
| mention the general tendency to
play politics with the vice-presidency
because today both parties owe it to
the United States to name vice-preSl-
Dental candidates who stand for the
same policies as the presidential candi-
dates. In these days of grave national
responsibility and danger, any party
which names President who stands
for one policy and vice-preSident who
stands for another should be deciSively
rebuked at the polls.
When Chairman Butler says the
Democratic party need make no apol-
ogieS for a method of selection which

DEAR EDITOR:

In your article, "Will We Get a
Second-Rate Vice-President? This
WEEK, Feb. 26l Roscoe Drummond
urges discussion which will make both
parties live up to their responsibilities
and avoid nominating unqualified men
for the vice-presidency.
In response to Drummond, Repuo-
Iican National Chairman Leonard w.
Hall criticizes me personally, saying,
In 1910 President Roosevelt stuffed
Henry Wallace down the throat OF the
Democratic National Convention
which nominated him against its will.
-. In 1914 Roosevelt admitted, by
dumping Wallace, what colossal mis-
take he had made. -" Democratic
National Chairman Paul M. Butler
defends the way in which Truman was
nominated in 1914, saying: Demo
Gratis need make no apologies for a
method of selection which produced
the nomination of Harry S. Truman"
Since my name has been brought in
directly or indirectly by both Butler
and Hall, should like to discuss the
shortcomings Of both parties with re-
gard to picking vice-preSidentS.
With several notable excep-
tons both parties have played politics
with the Office. This has chemically
resulted in two serious faults. the first
of which was especially common in the
18th century and the second during the
past so years:
I. The nomination of vice-preSi-
dent who was a nonentity.
z. The nomination of a vice-preSi-
dent who believed in quite different
principles from the man with whom he
was running. Consider few examples:
Garner was put on the Democratic
ticket with Roosevelt in 1882 as a
result of deal. He fought many Of the
Roosevelt policies in the Senate and if
he had become President he would
have destroyed large segment Of the
New Deal legislation.
Vice-President Dawes fought Cool
idge on the matter of farm legislation.

Electric Company Foots
Heavy Tax Bill


when it comes to taxes the cleo
trio company pays a whopper Of a
blll,,s commented George M. Nelson,
president of Eastern Shore Public
Service.
"The majority of people are
forcefully reminded of federal in
come tax at quarterly intervals dur
ing the year. Our federal income
tax actually amounted to $4570.70
every single one Of the 365 days
Of 1865.
Multiplying the dollars per day
by the total days results in ST.
66S, ,al5.2S-3 good bit over one
and one half million dollars.
This federal income tax report
represents the contribution of the
Eastern Shore Public Service Com
pany of Maryland, Eastern Shore
Public Service Company Of Vir-
ginia and Delaware Power and
Light Company operating in Kent
and Sussex Counties.
"Of course, our tax bill does not
stop here" added Mr.. Nelson. Dur
ing the year the electric company
pays other federal taxes amounting
to almost 100000, plus state and To-
cal taxes Of approximately $780,
600. Thousands cf these dollars
find their way back to your COM
munity in the form of better
schools, police and fire protection,
street construction.
To summarize the tax payments
and give a true overall picture
the electric company tax bill
reached a staggering total of ST.
607141 in 1855. Broken down into
cost per day the amount is over
seven thousand dollars.
Where do these taxes come from
you may ask. They are derived
from the revenue received for the
sale of current. 1t boils down to
the fact that 90 cents from every
dollar you. the customer, pays for
electric services goes to pay the
tax BILL
Electric service is a thriving
business here on the Delmarva
Peninsula. The electric utility en-
ployed about 700 people of varying
slSills and paid out in wages more
than million dollars during the
past year. This means good living
and security for many families
throughout the territory and helps
contribute to healthy economic
condition.
