Book Review

Because of a trans continental railroad rate war in July, 1898, it was possible for a New Jersey youth to journey from New York to Montreal, thence across Canada On the Canadian Pacific Railroad to Vancouver for 5000.
 From Vancouver, the five-day voyage to Skagway, Alaska, on a Canadian Pacific steamship, cost him $500, including three meals a day That part of the journey alone would have cost him ten times as much the year before, but the mad stampede to the Yukon had somewhat Subsided and the low fares were offered to re- vive interest in the Far North. It did, as vividiy related in "Klon- dike Gold Rush as Recalled by a Participant" by Richard c. (Dixie) Anger, published by Pageant Press, 101 Fifth Avenue, New York 3, New York. N

Milk Strife

THERE is undoubtedly good reason to
subscribe to the philosophy that some
sort of milk price control at the producer
level is a good thing. Up to now, the
Maryland and Milk Producers Association
has taken care of this quite well.
A new arrangement whereby Fed.
eral price order would prevail to insure
a stable market Is - and was before all
ruckus was touched off - In the process
of being worked out. Such efforts should
be brought to successful conclusion.
Meanwhile, 1t should be fairly APP
parent to both sides that little compro-
mise on the part Of each il needed in order
to end the current strife. AS always, when
powerful forces fight each other, the weak
must step aside and, resignedly, await the
outcome.
Sometimes, however, they are not
completely helpless. Both the producers
and the dairy have competitors eager to
capitalize on the situation, an they well
know. 1t behooves both of them to resolve
their differences for their own a. well AZ
for the public's sake.

County Manager Reese pro-
posal to SLAP a tax" on the pub
lie utilities appears as an ILL.,
conceived and ill-thought out
plan. It's supposed purpose is
to raise funds without increas-
ing the cost to the resident
through property taxes. First,
the consumer is going to pay
anyway so there is no saving to
us; Second, 1t has the horrifying
effect of discouraging tax pay.
ing firms to settle here; Third,
the consumer, though paying,
forfeits the income tax deduc-
ton normally afforded through
property taxes so he pays more;
Fourth, as the tax is indirect
rather than direct to the con-
sumner, overhead viii be higher,
and, accordingly, the consum-
ers eventual cost, AND FIFTH,
this will give Mr.. Reese the OPP
portunity to raise property taxes
next year. This proposed tax
on utilities is nothing more than
tn preparation of a ''hoax" on
the home owners of the County
that will cost much more than
its illconceived gain.

The Budget

THERE never was budget, Of the kind
where the budget maker was spending
someone else's money, that didn't have
some fat on it. This budget now being
studied by the County Council is, we are
sure, no exception.
In order for the budget to be balanced,
according to County Manager Reese, an
increase Of 80 cents would be necessary In
the property tax rate. Also, If Recess pro-
posed tax on gross receipts of utilities Is
axed (as it apparently is going to be by
the legislative delegation), an additional
10 cents on the property tax rate would be
needed.
Obviously, an increase Of 40 cents in
the property tax rate in only one year
would be unsound unless there were some
sort of acute emergency. After 183 years
of Montgomery County history, the prop
erty tax is now only $2.18. 1t is difficult
to understand why-when there is no real
emergency-the county should add % per-
cent to its property tax in only one year.
Montgomery County has an amazing
ly high percentage of persons who ID
think past County Councils have been
penny-pinching and niggardly and (2)
who are apparently willing to be taxed
without limitation for that will-of-the-
wisp they call better schools for our chill
dren."
We are NOT old fuddy duddies content
with the status quo nor are we the tool of
the bloated cigar smoking capitalists who
want to buy longer Havanas.
We are simply trying to inject little
