JUDGES SALARIES.

And now the Baltimore american il
advocating another increase in the sala.
ries Of the Circuit Court Judges. The
imerican contends that these learned
gentlemen are greatly underpaid and
that Maryland should be as liberal to-
wards her Judges as is Pennsylvania
and New York.
At the present salary the positions
seem to be very much desired and we do
not hear Of any difficulty in getting law
yers to take them. Then again, there is
little clause in the Constitution that,
under fair construction, forbids an in
crease in the Judges salaries. A little
thing like the Constitution, however,
did not, q few years back, prevent a
Democratic Legislature, with the aid of
Republican votes, from increasing these
salaries, and 1t Is almost hoping against
hope to expect that Republican Assem-
bly, will allow the Constitution to stand
between 1t and any such liberal appro-
priations."

PROPOSED LEGISLATION.

The Maryland Division of the l.. A.
w. have prepared three bills for presen-
tation to the Maryland General Assem-

10 An Act to provide against injuries,
cuts, punctures TO pneumatic tires. This
Act makes it u misdemeanor punishable
by n fine of not less than FIVE nor more
than fifty dollars TO throw upon any
avenue, street, alley, road, highway any
tack, nail, piece of iron, broken glass or
other substance which may injure, cut
or puncture any pneumatic tire.
20 An Act in relation to the Use and
Regulations of Bicycles and Tricycles
This AeS accords wheelmen the same
rights and privileges as are enjoyed by
persons using carriages drawn by horses.
30 A Pill entitled An Act to create a
Department of Roads and Highways for
the purpose of investigating and report
ing on the road question in this State,
and Of furthering the improvements of
the county roads. This bill provides
for an expert engineer to be appointed
by the Governor ut salary of $1,000 a
year whose duty 1t shall be to advise and
aid the road officials of the counties as

- n Bill, entitled An Act for the
more perfect construction and mainte-
nance of the roads and bridges in this
State" This Act provides for county
boards of highways and LGidges, said
boards to be composed OF three members
appointed by the county commissioners
and receiving salary of $1OO per year.
On all jobs amounting To- over $500 the
boards are authorized TO have the work
done by contract. Copies of contracts
are to be filed with the county com
missioners. No member of the board
nor anyone connected with the States
Engineer Department shall be interested
in any contract. The boards are to sub
init on or before March of each year a
detailed statement of their work and ex-
penses and are to furnish estimate for
work required To be- done in current

These are in brief the different Bills

Fable from tho Mail and Breeze:
A Kansas hen that had attended
strictly to business, laying IN egg at
least every other day, was rewarded
BY the farmers wife with extra feed.
And thereupon abe began to get fat
and gay and neglect her regular
business entirely, saying in an alecky
manner, when asked Why abe didn't
lay any more eggs, that shs didn't
have to. And the farmers wife,
seeing that abe was simply loa6ng
around, doing no good, said: "a
you arc no good Tor anything else. ]
win feed you to that gang OF Meth
odist preachers who are coming here
tomorrow"
Noral-There are . heap Of folks
who can't Stand prosperity.
