Gov. TaWes and his Demo-.

are getting ready. to grease the
political wheels next month for
smooth running in 1862.
The 1862 primaries are 10
months away and the general
elections nearly two years. but
Gov. Tawes and the party
hierarchy already are looking
ahead. This fact viii be re-

begins Wednesday.
One main item on the politi-

big enough to yell about, but
enough. to tide the Democratic
administration through 1862.
Few Budget Worries
Gov. Tawes has been living

boosts Of 1858 under Repubh-
can Gov. McKeldin. With nice
surpluses available each year,
and use Of the pruning shears
on spending requests, Gov
Tawes hasn't had to worry
much about where his next
budgetary dollar was coming
from.
Just last fall Gov. Tawes was
hopeful of completing his first
term of ONCE without q tax in
crease. But fiscal advisors
pointed out that expenditures
are outrunning revenues. and
that soon the surpluses win run
out and the day Of reckoning
will arrive.
Gov. Tawes has decided
therefore, that a small tax in.
crease next year Is preferable
to o major one, perhaps. ir
1862, an election year. With
his eye on the budget sheet
and an ear cooked to the po.
