The subject for discussion at
the last Tea meeting was, "Why
Rockville needs a Charter" The
reasons presented by Frank Eek.
er tour own-newly nominated for
city counciD were many, varied
and, to us, valid
Mr.. Ecker, who is a political
scientist for the State Depart
ment, has been head of the Char
ter Advisory Committee appoint
ed by our present mayor in full
fillment of one of the egg cam
paign promises of two years ago.
Essentially, it seems to us that
what is wrong with the present
Charter" is that it amt got no
body, and nobody can be sure
what it actually provides. Rock
vile now operates under a series
Of laws passed by the Maryland
legislature and amended and
amended and amended, often
with new laws being passed with
out removing the old laws from
the books or indicating that pre-
vious legislation existed.
A new charter can be construct
ed as a whole document, based
on Rocsville's current needs.
This would embody all the pres
ent provisions which are desir-
able. 1t would also make substan-
tial changes from the present
charter, but very little change
from the actual operation of the
city
AS an example, the office Of
city manager exists but is not
provided for in the old charter
In the proposed charter, this Of
flee would be provided for and
the duties and limitations of au-
thority defined.)
The new charter would official
ly establish the merit system for
employees. Zero tax areas would
be eliminated and all property of
similar nature and value would
be taxed at the same rate. (ThiS
provision to he effective in two
years..
Reassessnlent in undeveloped
areas would be made as soon as
building changes property value
to eliminate the free tax year
many builders have enjoyed here
tofore.
Continuous registration of vo-
tiers would be provided, and a
planning and plating commits
sion would approve subdivision
plans in the area, with the mayor
and council having final say.
Mr.. Ecker also touched upon
the alternative to writing a new
charter junking the whole she
bang. The advantage of having
local control Of spending, of plan
ming and coming, and of recrea-
ton have been covered here be-
fore.
For Twinbrookers, the primary
consideration is the fact that the
loss of Rockville's non-partisan
government would mean the ex-
clusion of so many of them (by
the Hatch Act) from any political
activity.
Until the new charter is adopt
ed registration is rather limited.
However, this Monday you may
register at the Lutheran Church
between 9 am. and 9 pm. If you
have been a resident for one year.

Ia 253, 900 margin in his latest
run in 1954-Gov. Williams says
the consolidated ballot is likely
to cost him "a few votes" in his
fifth try. But he does not dis
count the appeal of the Eisen-
hover name in Michigan.
"It is very difficult to say" he
said, whether the President can
be beaten in Michigan, but he
Ican-and I think he will-be
beaten nationally"
The big question mark In
Michigan, however, centers
around how the farmers are 60
ing to vote. While they form nc
such bloc as they do in Midwest
States. the States farmers may
well ray a deciding role in the
November outcome.
Organized labor, particularly
lin the States automobile manu-.
featuring plants. is regarded al
drifting back into the Democra-
tic camp. Many union members
voted for Mr.. Eisenhower ir

Farmer Detection

get a fair share Of this vote. But

even Mr.. Eisenhower could be
in trouble in Michigan.
The politicians don't agree on
the farmers mood. Mr.. Feikens
says there is mo resentment
against Mr.. Eisenhower" among
the farmers. Gov. Williams says
there is palpable farm dissatis-
faction reaching into the smaller
cities where the Republicans
additionally have had their
greatest strength.
No cursory examination OF
farm sentiment ever could be
conclusive, but here is a cross
section of opinion from farmers
attending a Lansing meeting:
Fred Knoblaugh, general
farmer, Blissfield: II think farm
prices would be the same as they
are now no matter who had been
in Office. I'm not for those farm
supports anyhow. I'm voting Re-
publican"
Harold Mitchell, livestock feed
er, Grand Blanc: II voted for Mr..
Eisenhower last time and I'm
going to again. But a lot of the
farmers who went for him before
won't this time the way the
price business is. They seem to
be dragging their feet on farm
programs down in Washington. "

wrapped up In this support busi-
ness. Let supply and demand
take care of it. I'm going to. vote
Republican and hope things ad-
just in good time"
Republican Again
Mark Brukow, general farmer,
Eagle: II always voted Republic
can but once-Mr. Roosevelt in
his third term. That didn't do
any good so I'm back Republican
again. We're out of war and
that's the big thing"
Elmer Dobson, general farmer,
Quincy: I'm old enough to re-
member Hoover-that made a
Democrat out of me. like Ke-
fauver so far. I don't blame Mr..
Eisenhower for the present farm
situation, though. I blame the
men under him. But I don't like
the idea of having more and
more men doing his work and
him becoming just a figurehead. "
In the industrial areas, opin-
ion on the Eisenhower admins
tration also is divided.
Bill Neil, taxi driver, said he
thinks the Republican Party is
not for the working man."

Eisenhower ought to have a
second term because he needs
