| THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND Saturday, February 2, 1924—Page 7 LINE TOO SLOW. "Where, are you going?" said a young gentleman to an elderly onei in a white cravat, whom he overtook a few miles from Little Rock. "I am going to heaven, my son. I have been on the way eighteen years." "Well, good bye, old fellow, if you have been traveling toward heaven eighteen years, and got no nearer to it than Arkansas, I'll take another route." ^K«MH:«x^rf«M«:^:^>.v^M«*e9 Why Buy A way From Home S.

(Continued from Page 1) with their counsel, Elmer J. Cook, and members of the Board of Education with Superintendent of Schools Clarence G. Cooper and the Board's Counsel, Wm. P. Cole, Jr. That the people may see just how Mr. Mcintosh feels on the subject we publish herewith a letter written by him and addressed to the Towson Town Club: Hon. James E. Green, President of the Towson Improvement Association, Towson, Md. My dear Mr. Green: I am very sorry that the session of the Legislature on Monday evening, February 4th will prevent my attending the meeting of the Towson Club, at which time I understand the proposed school bond issue will be discussed. Members of the House and myself have had two conferences with members of the School Board, at the second of which the County Commissioners and members of the Catons-ville Improvement Association were present, and the delegation has heard, I believe, pretty nearly all of the arguments for and against this legislation, and I believe there are members of your association who were present on one of these occasions who will be able to tell you pretty fully exactly how I feel upon this subject. Without attempting to review the matter at length, I might say briefly that my position is this: I know that the housing facilities are inadequate at present to take care of the children, and I appreciate the seriousness of this situation. On the other hand, when the last Bond Issue Bill was passed by the Legislature, and subsequently adopted by the people at the polls under a referendum, the proponents of the plan promised the public that this would be the first and last Bond Issue asked for schools, and the Public, I belteve, though that the money then appro- priated would be sufficient, at least for some years, to take care of the housing conditions. It turns out, however, as I understand the School Board, that this money will not be sufficient by at least a million and a quarter, to take care of present needs of housing conditions. ^In other words, it looks as if the School Board underestimated or made a mistake, probably an honest one, when it got the last appropriation under the Bond Issue. On the other hand, my impression is that the Public is not unanimously in favor of the present high cost of the schools with respect to either maintenance' or cost of construction. Without undertaking to question the wisdom of expenditures that have been made out of the last Bond Bill Park and thus save the expense 'of buildings, I do not feel that public sentiment is ready to endorse the passage of another bond bill for a million and a quarter more without a referendum attached to the bill, giving the people a chance to vote upon the question. It seems to me that our duty as Legislators should be, in a matter of this sort, when we know how heavy the burden of taxes of all kinds now resting upon the vast majority of our people is, to inquire not only what the majority desires, but ..also what the minority can afford, wwen it comes to spending Public Moneys. Moreover, as a matter of principle, we Baltimore Countains have always stood for a referendum upon all matters affecting the whole people of the County. This was true in the case of Annexation. It was true in 1914 or 16, I forget which, when Dr. Hynson and a powerful delegation from Roland Park, which was then a part of the county, appeared before our delegation in the legislature, and urged us to show that we had the courage and the nerve to pass a bill without a referendum, providing for sewers for Roland Park and thus save the expense of the county voting oft the proposition. As a matter of fact, we attached a referendum to this proposition and the people of the county turned it down at the next election. What would the wet members of your body think if this delegation, yielding to the pressure of the Anti-Saloon League and the Prohibitionists were to pass an Enforcement Act for Baltimore county at this session of the Legislature without a referendum. In the light of these suggestions, I am decidedly of the opinion that it would be dangerous and unwise to pass the proposed School Loan Bill without a referendum. There are many other phases of the subject which I would like to discuss with the Towson Club, particularly because this Association is of my own home town, but unfortunately time and space will not permit me to do so in this letter. I have attempted to point out only two or three of the many suggestions which come to mind in connection with this matter. I told the School Board at the meeting on Monday, speaking for myself alone as a member of the Legislature, I would be willing to cooperate in the passage of such legislation as would enable them to obtain an advance of $500,000.00 upon the money coming due under the last loan bill, and that if this were done, they would have available for expenditures this year, $750,000.00 and that I thought that this was enough money for any School Board, no matter how great our confidence in them might be, and I had entire confidence in them, to spend in any one year; and if their program was as sound and the need was as great as they say it is, and I believe it is, that there would be no trouble in getting the people in the county to support the new loan for a million and a quarter at the election to be held this Fall, and that this money ************************** Highest grade remanufactured Underwoods, Royals, and other standard typewriters. ?f All their newness, efficiency and £ X serviceablity restored.
