A—10 BUSINESS RULE * PROGRESSIVE LEA 2 25 Ailti Wing of Montgomery Democrats Announces Plat- form and Ticket. BY WILLIAM S. TARVER, Staft Correspondent of The Star. .VILLE, Md., June 27.—With its keynote “elimination of waste and sim- plification of government,” the Progres- site Democratic party of Montgomery County today announced its platform & partial list of candidates for the Democratic nomination in the Septem- ber primaries. Through its_ executive committee, composed of E. Barrett Prettyman, CHevy Chase; Edward Peter, Rockville, and W. L. Aud, Poolesville, the party states that all of its candidates have pledged themselves to faithful perform- ane of platform promises if they should be.placed in control of the county gov- ernment. N Outstanding Planks. Outstanding planks in the platform call for a reorganization of the admin- istration of county affairs on a business basis, the making public of all govern- mental acts, particularly wi to finances, and opposition to the finan- cial provisions of the Cramton park act. Despite its objection to the park act as it now stands, the ive party comes out for the continued de- velopment of the metropolitan area of Montgomery County, but along lines which would bring about the esctablish- ment of small community parks and recreation centers rather than an ex- pansion of the National Capital Pa.rk system at the expense of the people of the county, as provided in the Cramton act. Heading the progressive ticket are Dr. Eugene Jones of Kensington, and Mr. Prettyman, candidates, respectively, for the State Senate and the House of Dele- gates. Dr. Jones, the incumbent, is running for re-election, and is the only county official not a member of the regular Democratic organization, which now controls the government. For l:}efk of the Cln:eu& Court, the Progressive party announced its support of William H. Warfleld of Damascus, a Tetired farmer, and for register of wills Richard T. White, Barnesville farmer, and at one time president of the board of county commissioners. Farmer for Sheriff. Willlam L. Aud of Poolesville, a farmer, is candidate for sheriff. s Aud was formerly sheriff and chief of police. Running for county treasurer is John T. Culver of Forest Glen, who until recently was- clerk of the Police Court here. < John E. Oxley, Poolesville and Rock- ville attorney, is candidate for State's “'%M%mm have the party’ e ve the ’s sup- port for county commissioners: Nicholas Griffith, Laytonsville, farmer; Arthur L.

We condemn the finan- cial provisions of the Cramton bill which place this burden on the taxpayers of Montgomery County and must result in an increase in taxes. “We urge the purchase of a number of small community parks and play- grounds located through the metro- politan area of the county, to be pur- chased with the k tax funds. These park tax funds should be expended for parks and not for other p: " Other measures urged in the plat- form include a county-wide plan for road development, location of schools on a basis of a school census, estab- lishment of a Police Trial Board and encouragement and assistance to volun- teer fire departments. DAVIS’. PHILOSOPHY GIVEN CEMENT MEN Labor Secretary Declares Real Happiness Found in Mental Peace. ‘Whether or not the torrid tempera- ture of the past several days bothers one “is largely a matter of viewpoint,” according to Secretary of Labor James J. Davis. “I can remember some 30 years ago when I stood before a great steel fur- nace incomparably hotter than today’s pleasant weather and was most thank- ful that I had a good job. The man who cultivates contentment of mind has found the real way to be happy,” the Labor Secretary continued. ‘This bit of philosophy was given be- fore the annual accident prevention conference of the Portland cement mills of Maryland and Southeastern Pennsylvania, meeting yesterday in the Raleigh Hotel under the auspices of the Portland Cement Association and the Natiohal Safety Council. The meeting was attended by some 80 operating ecutives, superintendents and safety rectors, representing &x:cfiul!y all the mills in the Cheuxe region. Other speakers during the session in- cluded Daniel n, chief en- gineer, United States Bureau of Mines; Col. H. A. ex: ai- , Inc., iam M. Powell, Medusa Portland Cement Co., Cleve- . | 1and, Ohio.

Clint McSherry, to John S. Newman, the Mr. McSherry is a son of the late Judge James MeSherry, chief justice of the Maryland Court of Appeals.. New Features of Platform. Pirst nameq in the platform are nine features, not existing in the nt county covernment, as “the undamestal and most urgently needed steps” toward the “installation of an efficient and modern system in the con- duct of the county’s business affairs.” ‘They are: 1. A comprehensive budget system controlling all county expenditures and levies. By budget control is meant that before the beginning of each fiscal year the county commissioners should pre- pare an itemized statement of all moneys to be expended during the en- to byunhe county treasurer in paying ac- ‘counts. 2. An exact and scientific accounting system along lines used in modern banks, which would show at any countants at least once a year to audit ard report on all financial records. 3. One purchasing agent for the ‘whole county. 4. Support of all bills rendered for payment by the county by an affidavit stating they are legally due. 5. An easily available, comprehensive and centralized system of records cover- ing taxes and tax bills, and the combi- nation of all offices dealing with por- tions of these matters. 6. A system to insure equitable tax mssessment throughout the county and ’l:egond the reach of political manipu- on. 7. Publication of the complete min- utes of every session of the board of county commissioners immediately fol- lowing each meeting. 8. Application of proceeds from bond issues to those purposes only for, which the bonds are issued. 9. Deposit of county funds equitably among the banks of the county. The platform states that, along with the nine items enumerated, the Progres- sive party favors “every possible cur- tallment of e: itures and every feasible eliminat or combination to save expense, to the end that the tax rate may be lowered.” Reorganization and simplification of 10-Day Excursion to Western North Carolina (Vacation Land) Saturday June 28th, 1930 ROUND TRIP FARE Washington to Asheville, $14.00 Proportionate Fares to Other Western North Carolina Resorts. ‘Tickets honored on all regular trains leaving JUNE 28th, except CRESCENT LIMITED: tickets good in Pullman cars upon pay- ment of regular Pullman fares for space occupied.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, <22 PLANS APPROVED FORNEARBY PARKS Montgomery Projects Are Formally Accepted by Planning Body. Special Dispatch to The Star. SILVER SPRING, Md., June 27. —Commencement of park develop- ment of the Rock Creek and Sligo Valleys in Montgomery County be- fore the end of the Summer, inde- pendtly of * Federal aid under the Cramton act, was indicated by action of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission last night. General plans for each section were formally approved by the commission. The designs call for parks along Rock Creek from the Wmné}m! to Garrett Park and along Sligo Cfeek from Car- roll avenue, in Takoma Park, to the Colesville pike. They were drawn up under the direction of Irving C. Root, chief engineer of the planning body. Development of the Rock Creek and Sligo Valleys will start about the same time, the commission decided. J. Bond Smith, general counsel, was directed to prepare a contract for the purchase of a 5-acre tract owned by Col. M. K. Barroll and bounded by Rock Creek and Connecticut avenue. This will be the first tract purchased by the commission for either of the two parks, although dedications have been received. A bill is now before Congress pro- viding for the extension of Beach Drive to the District line, and the plan of the Maryland Park Commission calls for its further extension to Connecticut avnue. The fate of the bill in Congress will have no effect, it was said, on the com- mission’s plan to build the 3, miles of road from the District boundary to Connecticut avenue. ‘The other proposed development is a driveway in the eastern end of tife Sli- g0 Valley, between Blair road and Maple avenue, a distance of slightly less than a mile. Chief Engineer Root was directed by the commission to prepare data con- taining specifications and estimates pre- atory to the advertisement for bids or the work. Land already has been dedicated for park use. Participation in the financial benefits of the Cramton act was discussed at last night’s meeting and an understanding reached that the commission will go before the General Assembly at its Jan- uary session in an attempt to secure authorization to issue 50-year bonds.

SEESBETTER TS FORWAGE EARNERS William Green Predicts Un- employment Conditions Will Improve in Early Future. By the Assoctated Press. A prediction that unemployment con- | ditions will improve in the late Sum- mer and Autumn was made last night by William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor. In a formal statement, he said un- employment condiitons in June had 'shown no improvement over May, when the federation estimated 3,600,000 per- sons were out of work. He also esti- mated that wage earners had lost more than $2,000,000,000 during the first six months of this year because of unem- ployment. “Layoffs always come with the be- ginning of the Summer dull season in June,” he said, “with the usual Fall pick-up in business, employment will ELF ERVICE ELLING These Prices Are Only Possible Under This New System Men's All-wool Bathing Shirts.
