[For the pemooratIc Advoeate.

About six weeks ago a petition was circu-
lated in the 18th election district praying our
Legislators to grant us the privilege of voting
at special election for or against the sale oil
Intoxicating liquors in our district This
petition was signed by about $50 qualified
voters.
As the question was local and entirely. non
partisan our people took hold of it with the
assurance that if majority of our voters re-
quested our Legislators to grant us the priv
lege of voting upon question that concerned
our district only, that they could not honor
ably refuse a request so thoroughly demo-
cratic and one in perfect harmony with the
spirit of our government. A few days ago
made inquiry Of the committee who presented
this petition to our delegates at Annapolis as
to the progress of our bill, when to my utter
surprise they informed me that it had been
almost entirely ignored by our delegation and
that they intended to give us high license
law. To me it seems hardly possible that our
representatives are SO ignorant of the respon-
sibility they are assuming by refusing to pass
this bill and to force upon our people some
thing they do not desire. When $50 voters
out of voting population of about 600 ask
for local option it does not mean that they
want high license.
am inclined to the opinion that our rep
resentatives do not fully realize what this
refusal means. Have they forgotten that by
a majority of the votes cast at the election
last fall they hold the positions they now
occupy? Are our citizens claiming more at
their hands? Do they not know that the
three gentlemen who presented that petition
were the representatives Of majority of the
voters of the 4th election district? Do they
not understand that when each voter signed
that petition 1t was decidedly vote of his
sentiments as the votes cast when they we're
on the ticket?
] trust that our delegation at Annapolis
will consider this matter seriously and act for
the people. AN OLD DEMOCRAT.

A New Road Law for Carroll.

The road bill for Carroll provides for the
district system, as has been advocated in this
paper, except the District Commissioners
will be appointed by the County Commission
ers, instead of being elected. The bill pro-
vides that no more than two of the District
Commissioners shall be of the same political
party, and in the appointment of road super
vsors preference shall be given to those
whose lands binds on the public roads. The
tax limit is put at 20 cents on the 500. The
District Commissioners will have the same
jurisdiction over the public roads the County
Commissioners now have; also the power to
levy road tax, which tax will be collected
by the district collectors and disbursed by
the County Commissioners upon vouchers
signed by the District Commissioners. This
is an excellent bill, and we believe will result
in improved roads.
