Yellott Submits Proof Of Organized Auto Thievery In Baltimore. (By Gustav A. Ludloff.) Voters of the State, both Democratic and Republican, are casting- about numerous questionaires and inquiries to ascertain the attitude of candidates for Congress, and any asipirant to this Wfice who fails to measure up on the Volstead Act .satisfactorily will be heavily cut by the citizens of the State TV-ho abhor the Prohibition law. Carville D. Benson in a straight, open statement has promised, the voters that* he will endeavor to amend FAIR AT WHITE HULL New Buildings Have Been Erected To Take Care Oi increased Exhibits. Timonium fair closed on Monday •with the most successful season in its history and with the announcement of the White Hall fair on September 29 and 30 and October 1 and 2 there is v reason to believe that this pure-lv agricultural exhibition will far surpass past year's in both displays and attendance. According to W. Evans) Anderson, its secretary, the White Hall Fair will be bigger and better than ever before, buildings have been erected to take care of all exhibits and the 'grounds greatly improved. On Wednesday and Saturday .there will; be a horse show, commencing at 3 o'clock. Prominent sneakers "will be on hand Thursday and Friday, and there'll be something doing every minute. In addition to the agricultural exhibits Mc-Caslins Big Show and free attraction will give those who attend ample amusement, as the grounds will be open from 9 A M. to 10 P.

Price, secretary of the Taxpayers 'League, when a meeting of that organization was held on Tuesday even-last at the Court House here. Mr. •e seems to delight more in "slap-png" The Jeffersonian than he does in his work as secretary of the League, for whenever the opportunity presents itself and everi when it does not, the "Jeff" comes into prominence. As a matter of fact it seems that a discussion of this/ paper is essential to the welfare of the meetings of the Tax-pavers' League. The latest exception <*Mr. Price has taken to The Jeffersonian was the cartoon published in the last issue. The oWject of hoding the meeting in the evening was to secure a larger attendance. This was accomplished, for about 75 wera present, whereas before only about 25 were on hand. An amendment to the constitution of the League, looking to the admission of ¦women, was offered, and will be voted upon at the next session. A delegation from the Just Government League of Baltimore, headed bv Mrs. Robert H. Walker, attended and the members were invited to take the stump- for the adoption of the charter. ----------?--------- LOCH RAVEN. A basket picnic was held on Monday last at the home of Mrs. Charles~J. Ogle here in honor of Mrs. Donald R. er suffrage leader, who returned from an extended stjay in New England. this law and there is no doubt but what his efforts will succeed, for his forcibleness linked with his past experience will be brought out by him in a manner unequaled by any who have heretofore stood by the people That it would be little short of murder for the Democrats ' to sacrifice Carville D Benson cannot be denied, for the people of Baltimore county would be in a sorry plight without the generalship of a. leader like him. The defeat of Mr. Benson means that what has been accomplished by the Democratic party in Baltimore county will *be wiped out unless this business man and lawyer statesman is returned to the House of Representatives this | year. Petty, peanut political issues should be ignored and a solid front of Democrats and Independents should be built up to combat the enemy this fall, jWhile Congressman Benson is steadily gaining ground the Democrats of the Second district must not, by any means, hesitate or feel that the battle is won. Great work remains to be done before election and followers of true Democracy owe it as a duty to party to keep headquarters informed on the movements of both the Repu'b^ lican and Independent candidates. That we all must work harder than ever is a stettled fact and above all things, we must stand solidly behind j our party and its candidates, for we I cannot win unless we all work in j unity with but one thought, and that t "to win." Everv opportunity is offered the voung man of today by the Democratic partv and as never before the door to success depends on the young men in the Democratic party. As a reward for the-service Carville D. Benson has rendered, his constituents should rally to him and not wait to be asked to do anything in his behalf, but to offer and give him as much of their time as possible, serving the Democratic party and him. The call to battle has been sounded, and like true soldieus, let every Democrat arm himself with a ballot marked by him for the entire Democratic ticket and in so doing the voter will be paying to our Governor a debt of gratitude that he deserves. Farmers who favor Congressman Benson can do wonderful work for him by soliciting votes from his, neighbors and in the event the friend or neighbor hesititates for some unknown reason he can further assist by proving the Congressman's achievements ,which are open facts recorded in journals of Maryland and the records of Congress. Labor interests know of Mr. Ben-s/on's activities in their behalf, and there is no reason why he should not receive the solid Democratic vote from these ranks. Democrats of Maryland! There is a dutv to perform and you are needed in this great fight. Rally to the party flag and help to elect Cox, Roosevelt, Smith and Benson. ,-------------tNC£ wswev ' f/r-O^-EVfRY, -» THB GLENARM. An entertainment and dance will be given in the Odd Fellows' Hall here on Saturday evening, September 18, at 8 o'clock, the proceeds to be devoted to the Baltimore County Children's Aid Society.

Receipts and disbursements, 4. Taxes. 5. County Attorney. Department of Public Safety: 1. Police, 2. Fire, 3. Constable, 4. Health, 5. General Welfare Work. That is all. That is the proposed form of government for Baltimore county, except for some provisions relating to the compensation, tenure of office, bonding and selection of the officials, and providing for reports and audits and appeals there is nothing to tell what the form of government is. If the effect of this Charter is to abolish the office of County Commissioners and it should be adopted the county would have no form of government at all. Who is to levy the taxes? It does not say. Who is to collect them? It does not say. Under the law at present the County Commissioners levy the taxes, and the Treasurer collects them, but they could not do that unless the law gave them authority to do so. No one can do so without the express authority of the Legislature, but if the"Charter takes that power away from the County Commissioners and the Treasurer who is to exercise it? Can anyone learn from the Charter whether the County Manager, the head Of the Department of Finance, or the County Council is to levy the taxes? Nothing contained in it appears to sec-n what Southe'M control means. The Southern statesmen were all for rigidly controlling and limiting the c n wheat that ompelled the farmers to' take far less than they would have got in an uncontrolled market Cotton went to dizzying prices."
