Governor Brown, of MARYLAND, Has Al
lowed IL Per Cent. Of the Acts to Lapse.

ANNAPoL1s. MD, April 11.-Governor Brown
has until midnight Of to-day to sign OF veto
or pocket bills passed by the Legislature
Already about II per cent. Of the bills passed
have failed to become laws. thus saving TO the
Maryland treasury perhaps 81 100000.
Speaking of the rejected Assessment bill,
Governor Brown says: Prior 10 the next ses-
sion the tax question will be thoroughly
solved and some good results will follow. La
my Judgment il is much better for the people
al large not to have an assessment than 10 have
aWcious or improper one, and am thoroughly
convinced that within the coming two years
this position will be sustained by many OF
those who do not approve of my action IN
this connection. The true solution of the
whole question is a constitutional convention,
and the longer it is DELAYED the more the peo-
pie will suner from legislation the constitu-
tionalty of which is questioned. The Gen
eral Assembly for the past ten years
has been struggling to give proper Legislation
and thereby meet the demands Of the public
without infringing upon the organized law of
the state. The recent assessment IS not an
exceptional incident. as there are some VINO
questions its constitutiOnahty. ] think the
question of the hour Is not the assessment,
but as 20 whether Maryland should have a
modern constitution or not. and "a proper
assessment bill would follow IN order"
