Cy said he was riding past

of Glenmont with a friend,
Harry Dreisen, a lawyer. He
expressed his desire to pur-

ulated that the owners would
not consider a sale.

The council will hold a public

Legislation would be needed
to give the city a non-voting

School Aid

George P. Mahoney, candi-
date for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor of Mary
land, said yesterday that the
State should substantially in
crease its share of the cost of
operating public schools.
Speaking for the Mahoney-
Lee-Barrick ticket which is ex-
pected to oppose a slate headed
by Gov. Tawes in the Demo-
cratic primary, Mr.. Mahoney
proposed a new method Of dis
tributing educational funds to
localities.
at am disturbed that the sal
aries of our teachers have be-
come a political football, and
I therefore recommend that the
emphasis for financing our
schools be placed on a cost per
pupil basis instead of on the
State minimum salary schedule
for teachers" Mr.. Mahoney
said.
IF this distribution Of aid to
education were related directly
to per pupil costs, any new pro-
gram could be explained simply
in terms of a specific number
of dollars per child" he said.
In my judgment the average
expenditure per pupil should be
raised by a substantial amount
perhaps as much as 500 dur
ing the next year." he said. The
statement did not say how
much this would be in total
dollars, but inasmuch as Mary
land has around 100000 stu
dents it would be about $50
million.
"Obviously, a program OF
such magnitude cannot be fl
nanced solely by the State but
will also require increased con-
tributions by the Federal Gov
ernment and the local Subdivi-
sions." He said the State will
do it's share" if he is elected.
Mr.. Mahoney previously
pledged support Of a $4,000 to
$4,000 minimum State teacher
salary scale. He reiterated this
while proposing the new method
of financing to take the heat
off the teachers.
Gov. Tawes recently called
the Maryland State Teachers
Association a high pressure"
lobby which looks out only for
its own interests.

Quiet Virginia Vote

oddS-on favorite to win over
Republican H. Clyde Pearson Of
Roanoke next month.
Mr.. Pearson. one-time assist
ant district attorney and former
House Of Delegates member,
has waged an energetic but
uphill battle in predominantly
Democratic Virginia.
He's needed Mr.. Harrison on
several politically sensitive is
sues and on Mr.. HarriSon's
link with the States dominant
Democratic organization.
In general, Mr.. HarriSon's
strategy apparently has been
to ignore the gibes during
swings across the State. The
campaign is lackluster in COM
pariSon with the lively July II
Democratic primary when Mr..
Harrison and his two running
mates faced a three-man slate
headed by 1t. Gov. A. E. S.
Stephens.
A total Of $4,000 persons
voted for Governor in the pri-
mary, with Mr.. Harrison getting
more than 199, $40 Of the ballots.
Mr.. Davis guess for the general
election is about $4,000 above
the primary vote.
In 1857, Gov. Almond piled
up almost $4,000 votes to more
than $4,000 for Republican
Ted Dalton in a spirited cam
| paign. Mr.. Dalton now is a Fed
eral judge.
Mr.. Davis, said that about

voters now. But all Of these may
not have paid their poll taxes

thority over savings and loan
associations was used to take
over a company. 1t was used
against a firm that was the
object of inquiry by Senator
Beall, Republican of Maryland,
as long as three years ago.
1T looks to me as though
this might be a company TAX
ing advantage of the public, "
Senator Beall said on March
81, 1858.
At the time. Maryland had
no law on savings and loan
associations.
Senator Beall first raised
questions about the company
advertising that savings ac-
counts were insured up to S10,-

was listed as American Savings
and Loan Indemnity Co.

He twice asked the Senate
Banking Committee to :nvesti-
gate the savings and loan as

LIBERALISM

The term liberalism has a much
more extensive definition than
does conservatism. Primarily, the
emphasis is on man as a person of
free will and intellect. Specifically
it is concerned with one who is
not bound by orthodox tenets or
established forms of philosophy,
Cne who is independent in opinion,
one who has a tendency toward
a democratic Or republican form
of government as distinguished
from autocratic or deSpotic rule. A
liberal suggests freedom from
prejudice or narrowneSs, one who
is generous in Judging opinions
and opponents.
Generosity in judging opponents
usually results in a willingness to
allow full expression of belief re-
CARELESS of the liberals own
opinion. The liberal feels that
progress can come only through
free discussion. He would agree
with Oliver Wendell Holmes that
-. the best test of truth is the
power of the thought to get itself
accepted in the competition of the
market. -"
The liberal has, sometimes naiv-
ely, a great deal of faith in hui
man reason, nationality, and in
nate goodness. Imagination often
leads him to ideas beyond those
of the majority of people and he
may be regarded as a dreamer.
Many times the vision does be-
come a reality, but sometimes the
failure of people to live up to
his expectations results IN peSSi-
mism and despair. A part of the
trouble is that the liberal fails
to differentiate between the char
acter of the Individual separately
and as a member of a group or
mod led by a demagogue.
One of the chief problems of
understanding liberalism is the
change in the meaning of the
word over the past 200 years. Or
iginally liberalism was concerned
With the individuals right to de-
velop himself for his own good
as long as he did not interfere
with the rights of others. This
meant the less government, the
better. Slowly toward the end o.
the 10Th century and more rap
idly in the Goth century, the con.
cept changed draStically. Modern
liberalism is concerned with the
right of the individual to develop
his abilities fully within the
bounds of society and for tht
benefit of all. Government is nov
regarded as a positive force with
the duty of promoting social anc
economic welfare, not only actin&
as a referee when the rights O.
individuals conflict.
Both conservatism and liberal.
ism have one important elemen
I IN common: namely, a belief tina
/, government should be based OF
; laws applicable to all and not o.
, the Whim of a man or a groul
r which is in power.
The Sidney herald., 1961-06-14
CONSERVATISM

Conservatism is first defined as
the disposition to preserve what is
established and to oppose change
and, secondly, to operate within
safe bounds, to be moderate, TO
adhere to sound principles, and to
believe in taking little risk.
Conservatism does not mean a
turning back, nor the destruction
Of the established way of life or
institutions. Preservation of what
exists may apply to such things
as a cap1taliStic enterprise, a
democratic representative politi-
cal system, or a b~aSically caste
less society. 1t is also likely that
there is concern with promoting
carefully and gradually such
trends as widespread education,
social welfare, and international
cooperation.
A conservative moves slowly
ana with elaboration; he is not
easily Swayed. Maintaining high
standards of right and wrong, he
is willing to discuss and possibly
to be convinced of the good OF
bad of a particular cause. He
maintains a firm rein on his emo
tionS and is difficult to be trick
ed by slogans and other propa-
gandiStic devices. A skeptic, the
conservative is aware of the weak
neSSeS of humans and of their i'm
PROJECTIONS, but this is offset in
large measure by his concern
with the protection of individual
rights as the best safeguard
against tyranny and oppression
He does not believe in the abso.
lutte equality of man but strongly
supports equality of opportunity
and equality before the law. There
is a tendency for the conservative
to keep a check on his magma.
ton and to pride himself on
handkerchief, down to earth
approach to problems.
