(Continued from Page 1, Col. 7.) members: (a) County Manager. "(b) County Engineer. '(c) County Treasurer. 7. That the Administrative Heads be :appointed by the County Council to serve for terms of four years. First appointments to be made for two, three and four years so that the terms ¦;of office of no more than one of the Administrative Heads will expire in any one year. 8. That each of the Administrative Heads be paid a salary of $3,500 per annum and devote their entire time to their offices. 9. That the County Manager and County Engineer be bonded for $25,000 each and the County Treasurer for $50,000. Said bonds to be conditioned upon the faithful performance of their ¦duties and the proper accounting for-of any funds coming into their hands and for any loss which the County may sustain by reason of the neglect of duty on their part. 10. That the duties of the Adminisj-vtrative Heads be divided up as follows: The County Manager to have charge «of the police, lights, garbage removal, fire department, alms house, jail, health -department and all county affairs not specifically designated for the County ^Engineer and County Treasurer. That the County Engineer have •charge of the roads, sewers, bridges, public buildings/ and to be the purchasing agent for all County supplies and materials, under proper restrictions as to receiving bids, etc.. a detailed statement of which will be furnished by your Committee to the next meeting of the League, if desired. The County Treasurer to have charge (of the collection of all taxes and disbursements to make all tax assessments and to be the general bookkeeper of the County. Details as to the proposed method of paying bills, counter signature of checks and appeals from the decision of the County Treasurer as to any tax assessment can be furnished by your Committee to the League at its meeting, if so desired. 11. Appointments of County employees: Your Committee will furnish a proposed detailed plan for appointment of ;all employees at the next meeting of the League, if desired. It is suggested that the Board of Administration meet once a week or so -often as necessary to dispose of such duties as the Charter imposes upon the Board of Administration. We suggest that the Board of Administration prepare a budget of County expenses for the next year before the meeting of the County Council and upon it the County Council should fix the tax levy for the ensuing year, with authority to make such changes in the budget as the Council deems advisable. Prom the brief discussion which endued it is not believed that the League will unanimously approve the recommendations of its committee. It was determined that under the plan proposed the county would have 21 coun-jcilmen, and John H. Hale, of the Sixth ¦district, objected to such a large council and suggested that its number r>e reduced to 7. He contended that a council of 21 members would be "too unwieldy," and, furthermore, that the folks, back home would object to the idea of creating so many more offices in the county. Harold Scarboro, of the Union-News, suggested that the council be made up of one member from each district, making 15 in all. Upon the motion of Mr. Watson, which was unanimously carried further discussion of the committee's report was put off until February 10. The following officers of the League were chosen for the ensuing year: President—John Watson, Jr., of Ca-tonsville. Vice-President — George Deitz, ot Itoslyn. Secretary—William R. Price. Timo-ilium. Treasurer—Ernest C. Hatch, Towson. In addition to the officers an Executive Committee, composed of three members from each of the fifteen districts, was chosen. In the report of Treasurer Hatch it was stated that the League had a paid membership of 587, and plans are being laid to make a drive for a much larger membership during the coming year. tional Committee, through its various publications, warned the public just what it could expect from the Penrose Congress. The summary of the results. Here is the story in a nut shell: The Republicans, by the use of money and false pretenses captured the Sixty-sixth Congress. Ten days after it was established by the official returns that they had won the election, G. O. P. leaders in Congress began to filibuster to bring about an extra session. That was apparent to the chairmen of the various committees of the Senate and House. Old Guard Republicans would move to adjourn meetings that were called to expedite appropriation and other important bills. Senator Sim- mons, then chairman of the Finance Committee, found it difficult to keep quorums for the consideration of the bond bill pending in the last session of the Sixty-fifth Congress. Senator Martin, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, noticed a tendency on the part of theretofore regular attendants to absent themselves. Subsequently when the end of the session approached, the Republican leaders of the Senate called a caucus to "protest" against measures unde,r consideration. "Boss" Penrose and others advocated delay, if not a filibuster. For some reason best known to the Republican bosses, the caucus did not order a prolonged fight, 'but it came nevertheless. Senator Penrose, while not actively in charge of the campaign against the appropriation bills, was encouraging such tireless talkers as France, LaFol-lette and Sherman. Mr. Penrose's face was wreathed in smiles as these loquacious Senators made the most of their opportunity and prevented the passage of bills carefully worked out by the committees. The Republican barkers charged that the bills were hastily prepared, crude and unfit for final consideration. It was apparent to everybody that a- deliberate filibuster, the purpose of which was to force an extra session, was in progress. When adjournment came, six or more big supply bills to keep the Government going were still on the calendar. These * '1395 TrafflcTruck Chassis f.o.b.

MORE CAMOUFLAGE SEEN Promises Of Republicans Indicate Efforts To Deceive Voters Once More. (Continued from Page 1* Col 1.) They ask "why not do it now, Congress is in session, and dominated by the high-power experts of the G. O. P.?" Were it not for the cohesiveness that comes with a burning desire to have and distribute patronage the Republicans of Congress would be divided into .at least three hostile camps. The various elements welded together by "Boss" Penrose and Mr. Hays will separate into factions when the tariff and other important party questions come up for consideration. , Senator La Pollette, and others of the old "Progressives," who swallowed their personal views and feelings to help get promotions and pie at the beginning of this Congress, are beginning to indicate their real opinions. They are far from Penrose on the tariff, and other crucial issues. Therefore, the promise of the Republican vote-hunters is mere moonshine. » The Republican organizat'on in Congress is confused without the guiding hand of "Boss" Penrose, who is ill at his home in Pennsylvania. In the House James R. Mann, the old leader who was kicked overboard by the Penrose-Hays-Lodge combination to make a place for Speaker Gillett of Massachusetts, has "come back" after a long absence and literally taken charge of the disorganized forces there. For the present Representative Mon-dell, the majority leader, who has not led, is in a back seat. The general impression is that Mr. Mann has been given the right of way to pull the Republicans out of the hole into which they were dragged by Mr. Mondell and the Steering Committee. In the Senate the Lodge-Moses-Pall coterie is still resting upon the "laurels" won in their fight of hatred against President Wilson, the German peace treaty being the object of attack. Six months ago the Democratic Na- C? essential measures were left stranded for a purpose. Immediately upon the departure of the Sixty-fifth Congress, Republican leaders went to the newspapers with arguments for an extra session. They asserted that the Government could not run without the appropriation bills. Senator Penrose, Representative Mondell, Representative Good, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, and Representative Gillett were urging the President to call the Sixty-sixth Congress at once. The papers of the country were filled with their demands. The excuse offered for an extra session was "constructive legislation to put the country on a peace basis." "The cond'tion of legislation," said Mr. Gillett, then seeking the speakership," makes an extra session inevitable, and apparently the President does not intend to call it until about the first of June. The problems which the next Congress faces are most weighty and difficult. Upon their successful so lution will depend our industrial prosperity. I believe the majority is de termined to attack these problems at once with courage and vigor, in ordei that the readjustment of our industries and the re-employment of our scattered and disorganized labor may be speedily effected." By this time the entire country knows just how far the Republicans went with their constructive program. The records of the last Congress show that the woman suffrage resolution, which had been ripened for final consideration by Democratic Congresses, and the prohibition enforcement bill, are the only important pieces of legislation put through at the extra session. The Houses passed many measures during the closing days of the session, and the Senate passed others, but the two did not get together on them. That is an old trick. Many a bill has been done to death by receiving consideration at one end of the Capitol in one session of Congress, and at the other, mm Red Seal is Not a "sweet drink" if sa Food Drink.
