Govt. Intervention
In Agriculture Is
Blasted by Matthias

Excessive government interven-
ton in agriculture was attacked
last week by Rep Charles McC.
Matthias, Jr., sixth district con-
gresham, as dangerous to farmers
and consumers alike.
Efficient agricultural production
is of benefit to both groups and
constitutes a common goal which
unites them, he said in a speech
at a luncheon meeting of the
Maryland Council of Farmer Co
operatives.
There is no conflict in this
country between the interests of
farmers and the interests of con-
sumers-the conflict is between
excessive government Intervention
in agriculture and the long run in
tcrests of consumers.
Consumers have an interest in
maintaining the kind of an effici-
ent, freeWheellng, vigorous ana pro-
ductive agriculture that has
emerged in the United States and
which Maryland agriculture so well
eXemplifies.
He declared that of all indus
tries, agriculture has been demon
strated to be the one which does
the worst when political manage
ment is substituted for the incen-
tives of a free economy.
ITO my mind" he continued,
the idea that government must
get involved commodity by COM
modify in planning production-in
controlling production, marketing
and pricing of farm products-is
antiquated, inefficient and
dangerous approach to the future
of farmers and to the interests of

Under a bill given final approval
Saturday, the Department of

Is Your Name
DEAL?

Deal, an old and honored sur
name, is principally of English
origin. 1t admits of at least two
derivations According to some
authorities on the origin of names,
it is of local meaning and was
supplied in medieval times to
newcomers to communities who
came from Deal, a place in Kent
County, England. 1t is said also
that Deal was sometimes the name
assumed by, or applied to, those
who lived in rented or allotted
land.
George Deal 1758-1832) served
as private in the Maryland troops
during the Revolutionary War. He
was born in Frederick County,
Maryland and died in Bedford
County, Pennsylvania. Another
Revolutionary patriot was Private
William Deal q721-1811 of the
Duchess County, New York mill
tia.
The first census of the United
States, taken in 1890, has nineteen
listings of persons by the name of
Deal who were residents of Mary
land and heads of families at that
time. Eight of them lived in Wor-
cester County.
Erastus Charles Deal 1876-1952)
earned national recognition as a
utilities executive and inventor.
Starting his career at the age of
Is with the Georgia Electric Light
Company, Atlanta, he held posi-
tons of steadily increasing i'm
portance with public utility COM
panies in various parts of the coun-
try and eventually became presi-
dent of Peoples Light and Power
Company, New York City and al
so was a member of the boards of
directors of numerous other lead
ing firms of the same type. Among
his numerous inventions, he is
credited with designing the first
one-man safety street car.

Norfolk, Virginia acquired sub
stantial lumber holdings in South
Carolina and also was the owner
of large land areas on the James
River, Virginia He was member
of the U. S. House of Representa-
tives for four terms.

this is necessarily true. Perhaps,
in politics, there are to be found
ways to cut corners and do some
little tricky things that would bene-
fit us. 1t is my belief that the mo-
tives to do these things were al
ready a part of the person who
takes advantage of such situations,

them in another field of endeavor

l was absent from several sos-
;ions of the Legislature this week,
but answered roll call on Friday
noon So far this year, l have
missed only five roll calls, and
all of these absences were unavoid-
able
l woull like to pass along some
Of my own impressions of the
Maryland Legislature, and our
work in it,
1t seems to me that those of us
who have been elected to office
have a two-fold responsibility.
First of all, we represent the coun-
) ty from which we were elected,
and bring to Annapolis our own
county's peculiar needs and our
own special problems. Four of us
were chosen as Spokesman for Gar
rett county. We are duty bound to
represent not only those with whom
we agree, but also those with whom
we disagree. It is our job to study,
evaluate and finally to decide on
matters of controversy.
The second and very important
job we are to perform is to sit in
consultation with others, elected
from all over the state, and decide
together what laws are needed to
maintain peace, order and justice
throughout our State. Here. we
need to avoid being unduly influ-
enced by pressure groups. We
need to avoid a narrowness of out
look that keeps us from making de
cisions on the basis of facts. In
this regard, we need to study, to
read and to listen, SO that we may
evaluate the situation properly.
The arguments that are held on
the floor show up the many things
involved.
My experience so far has led me
to believe that, for the most part,
the people in the Maryland Legis-
lature are hard working, con-
scientious men and women. They
are concerned about our States
financial welfare. the education of
our children. and with the growth
and progress of our institutions
and industry.
The laws that have been passed
affecting Garrett county we're
those which, we felt after consul
tation together, would help pro-
mote the well-being of our people.
l have kept careful records of
the statewide laws for which |
have voted When 1 was in doubt
about a particular bill, I sought
advice from older and more ex-
perienced legislators.
Last week, the civil marriage
bill passed the House. Had l been
present, | would certainly have
voted against it. After being de-
ferred several times, the wage at
tachment bill was brought back
and passed by the House. 1t pro-
vides that 50 of a $4,000 pay could
be attached for payment of an
honest debt No honest person
needs to fear this law, or to be I'M
duly concerned about its effect.
These bills have not yet passed
the Senate.
The dictionary says, among other
things: Politics, the science and art
of government. That definition
seems to place it on a somewhat
higher level than we usually think.
Sometimes, we picture a person in
political life as a self-seeking, often
diShonorable person. | have never

Slavery Still Exists.

In wartime 1943, American bust
nessmen went along with the Gov
ernment's plan for Withholding in
come tax money from wages and
salaries. Yet twenty years later,
taxes are still being withheld from
pay envelopes, and every employ
er in the United States is still
serving as an unpaid deputy tax
collector for the Federal Govern
ment.
Not only is the bureaucracy
guilty of complete dishonesty in
taking tax money from the people
ahead of tax time and paying no
interest on the money; but it is
also guilty of two direct violations
of the U. S. Constitution in its
methods of doing so.
By forcing the nations employ
ers to collect these taxes, the Gov
ernment is, in effect, using the
employers equipment and labor,
and his premises for warehousing
tax records. This is in violation of
the Fifth Amendment, which reads
in part . nor shall private
property be taken for public use
without just compensation"
Furthermore, the 18th Amend
ment which forbids involuntary
servitude except as a punishment
for a crime whereof the party
shall have been duly convicted.
is also being violated.
The majority of Americans are
certainly unaware that their Gov
ernment is violating the Constitu-
ton. The attack has been so grad
ual and so effective that we have
been conditioned to accept what
ever the Government does or says,
without making any concerted pro-

Letter to the Editor
Goose Is Not AiIing

Route /
Accident, Md.
August S, 1868
To the Editor
Dear Sir:
This is in response to your edi-
torial in the July 25th issue of
your paper under the title, Is
Goose Ailing
NV reply to this is that the
GOOSE in the Accident gas field
is not ailing. The trouble is that the
nest is being greatly disturbed. Sad.
ly enough a new nest is being crafti-
ly prepared which will take care of
the eggs in such manner that the
local landowners of the Accident
area and the Treasurer of Garrett
County will be almost completely
by-passed. The eggs will roll COM
fortably down in the new nest, and
the citizens of Garrett County will
get very little from it. This situa-
ton can, and it should be reme-
died Proper steps must be taken.
There will be no remedy if we sit
supinely by and wait for the eggs
to roll to us on silver platter.
When Snee and Eberly sold the
upper strata to the Texas Eastern
Transmission Corporation about a
wear ago at a figure in excess of
S11 900, 100000, a statement was pub
liShed in your paper that the prov
en- gas reserves in the Accident
field were approximately 40 bill
lion cubic feet. There were state
ments current, also, that the gas
was about half depleted. have
taken the trouble to add the figures
as published in The Republican. l
find that the gas wells in the Acct
dent area produced 1858 100000
cubic feet of salable gas. My add
ing machine is not built to handle
such large figures, and | might
have made slight error, but l am
sure that approximately forty bill
lion cubic feet of gas was produced
in the Accident area between 1855
and 1862 while the wells were oper-
ated by Snee and Eberly. In
little over a year of operation the
Texas Eastern Transmission cor
poration has produced only 2,901,-
100000 cubic feet of Salable gas.
This means that approximately
81 O00,000,0O0 cubic feet of gas re-
mains in the strata bought from
Snee and Eberly. From these fig
ures you can readily see that the
gas is by no means depleted
Other evidence could be pro-
duced to show that the GOOSE in
the Accident area is not ailing. 1t is
time for the landowners, the Coun-
ty Commissioners and our State
Legislators to get busy and restore
or preserve the nest You suggested
in your article that we should be
looking ahead for new sources of
revenue. This may be commend
able, but it will be still more COM
mendable to take the necessary
action to insure the receipt of
royalties and tax revenue from the
existing great store of gas in the
Accident area. Garrett County
should receive as much from taxa
ton of gas produced in the Acct
dent area as it has received.
Sincerely yours,
B O. AIKEN
