that there was no candidate for the
office Of States Attorney for Car
rett County in the last election
either in the Primary or General
Election, and ! do not believe there
can be any doubt in anyones mind
as to the reason thcrefor-it being
the inadequacy of the salary.
The position of States Attorney
is one Of dignity and prestige; re-
quiring a vast amount of cduca-
ton before one is eligible to hold
this office; and in addition. the
work is highly skilled, neccssitat-
ing a great amount of legal re-
search and time consumption. |
can well understand that a cOmpc-
tent and successful attorney would
not relish the job of States At
tOrney at the present salary: and
! might add that Mr. Thaycr. who
is in every way capable and cOmpe-
tent, accepted the appointment to
this position with considerable re-
luctance and only after much
persuasion on the part of the
Court and members of the Bar. /
am positive that. should it be
necessary after the next General
Election to appoint a States At
torney and force him to accept the
position against his wishes we
could not expect him to fulfill the
job as we'll as if it were on q com
petitve basis with adequate COM
pensation.
II should also be pointed out
that. under the law. Mr. Thayer
would not be eligible to receive
any increase in his salary during
his present term of office: how
ever. it would be possible for him
to receive a larger expense allow
ance than he presently has. The
salary increase would not be eff
fective until after the General
Election in 1866
This is a matter of grave CON
Germ not only to me. but also to
the other judges of this circuit
and all law enforcement officers.
Perhaps it is not realized by most
people that the most efficient and
competent police force that can
be obtained would be of no avail
whatsoever without qualified
States Attorney to prosecute the
criminal cases. The work of the
States Attorney has greatly in
creased in recent years, especially
in the field of juvenile law. and
personally know of nothing more
important to the citizens of this
county than to have capable and
proper law enforcement.
earnestly suggest to the citizens
of Garrett County that this matter
be given very serious thought and
that such action be taken as will
merit reconsideration on the part
of the Garrett County members OF
the State General Assembly.
Very truly yours.

The proposed amendment
would authorize Congress to
write legislation providing the

whether the President is disa-

ceases.

Maryland Loses
On So Million
Tax Refund Case

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. Is (AP). .
The United States Supreme
Court has refused to review a
Maryland retail sales tax case
which may cost the State as
much as So million in tax re-
funds.
Attorney General Thomas B.
Finan sought to appeal a de-
cision by the Maryland Court
Of Appeals. The State court
ruled that the State cannot
impose a sales tax on contrac-
tors working for the Federal
Government while exempting
those contractors working for
the State and its subdivisions.
The tax on Federal contrac-
tors was discriminatory, the
Court of Appeals held.
Edward F. Englebert, head
of the Retail Sales Tax Divi-
sion, said the refunds to Fed
eral contractors would be ret
roactive to three years If the
contractors apply.
Mr.. Englebert estimated that
about Sc million was collected
from the contractors over the
three-year period and an addi-
tional 50 million is involved in
present contracts.
