important Insurance Bill.

Senator Mccullough. of Cecil county.
has introduced one of the most import
ant bills of the Session in the Legisla-
ture. The purpose of the bill is TO COM
pei insurance companies to pay the full
face value of all insurance policies when
the property insured is entirely de-
stroyed. aud it provides that there can
be no adjustments by which less than
the full amount can be paid when there
is total loss OF the property insured.
Senator Mccullough says: "UDless a
man insures for so per cent of the full
value of his property. even when the
loss is total one. the insurance COM
panies are not bound to pay the full face
value of the policy. For instance. a
person might insure his property, which
is worth $4,000. for the amount of s..
900. If his entire property is destroyed
by fire. through their system of adjust
ment and arbitration the probabilities
are that the insurance company would
actually get ont of it by payment
of 81 900 or 5000"
The bill applies only to real property
and to fire insurance companies and
provides as follows: Whenever any
policy of insurance shall be issued to in
sure property in the State against loss
by fire, tornado or lightning. and the
property insured be wholly destroyed,
without criminal fault on the part of
the insured or his assigns, the amount
of the insurance stated in such policy
shall be taken conclusively to be the
true value of the property insured and
the true amount of the loss and measure
of damage
1t is also provides that all policies
hereafter issued or renewed shall have
indorsed across the face the following:
at is agreed between insurer and in
sured that the value of the property
hereby insured is the sum of s.,
and this estimate shall be binding on
both parties as to value, providing, how
ever, that nothing herein contained
shall, in case of loss. prevent the COM
pany insuring from adjusting the loss
by replacing the property DESTROYED.

The Democrats having the
power. it may be assumed they
will manage the gerrymander
to suit the party needs, even
though experience teaches that
a gerrymander does not always
result to the satisfaction of the
engineers and promoters of the
scheme. 1t has been charged
on the floor of the State Senate
that one of the preliminary
steps in the plan-the redistrict-
ing of the city of Baltimore =
has been already taken. The
works. understood to be going
on, and its bearings on the flu
ture of the individuals as well
as of parties will be watched

"a ...lve committee of

"a .uulve committee OF
tn drmers' League of Clubs
met at 5Q4 N. Calvert st. BALTIC.
Monday and appointed a legis-
lative committee of nine mem
bers to urge the passage of the
bill presented to the Legisla-
ture by Senator Wilson, of
Prince Georges county, appro-
priating money for the extern
sion of the work and to erect
additional buildings at the
Maryland Experiment Station
and College, and to further ex-
tend the work of Institutes and
horticultural Investigations.
These institutions are now
hampered greatly for want of
room, and the l25 students, it
was stated. could be easily
doubled and taught by the same
faculty if more room was pro
vided. The bill now before the
Legislature makes no appro-
priation for increase of profes
sors or of salary, but is only to
give increased facilities for
more room and to aid i'm extra
Investigations in horticulture,
dairying and beef feeding, and
to provide free scholarships
from each county and Balti-
more City.
For several years past these
institutions have been unable
to fully avail themselves of the
moneys appropriated by the
United States Government
$23,47S under the two Morrill,
acts and $4,000 under the
Hatch act. To remedy this and
give the very best possible aid
to the farmers of Maryland
this bill has been prepared by
a committee of nine farmers.
representing every section of
the State and every class of ag-
riculture This movement was
started at a meeting last June
of over $50 farmers at the col
lege and has since been endors-
ed by almost every club and
grange in the State, by the
Farmers League of Clubs. and
by the State Grange.
During the past two years the
State has appropriated for car
rying on all of the work in ag-
riculture. horticulture, farmers
Institutes, experiment station
work and the allied branches
at this institution only $2l 200
annually. 1t is proposed to in
crease this amount to $40. 200
annually.
The league is composed of
20 clubs, with a membership of
$50 practical farmers.
The executive committee also
took up the matter of reform
ing the Milk Inspection law of
Baltimore city in order to bet
ter protect the consumer and
producer. One farmer said
several of his neighbors whose
milk had been condemned by
the inspectors added a little
water to their next shipment
and the milk now passes tn
spection.

Neither of these warriors either

THE FIRST DISTRICT.

Ihere mas Deen considerable
talk of including Cecil County
in the First Congressional Dis
trict of Maryland. and from
what we can learn the people
of that county desire the
change. Cecil is on the East
ern Shore and will feel more at
home with us than in the Sec
ond District. A special from
Annapolis to the SIN has this
to say on the subject:
"There is another matter hav-
ing a bearing on the Eastern
Shore question, and it is a very
important one indeed, as il eff
fects the First Congressional
district, which at present is
composed of the eight lower
counties of the Peninsula.
"The act of Congress known
as the Burleigh bill, approved
January l6, 1901. making an
apportionment of representa-
tives i'm Congress among the
several States under the twelfth
census. does not declare the
ratio or fix the minimum. 1t
simply declares that after March
3, 1908, the House of Represen-
tatives shall be composed of 1856
members, apportioned among
the several States according to
IA prescribed schedule. The APP
portionment To MARYLAND is six
representatives. 1t is required.
however, that the districts shall
be composed of contiguous and
compact territory and contain
ing as nearly as practicable an
equal number of inhabitants
The ratio in Maryland, as in
other States. is 1913, 29l of popu-
lation for each representative.
The total population of the
eight counties comprising the
First Congressional district of
Maryland is Ill .342. which is
81 ,949 short. The requirement
must be made up. it is thought
by taking Cecil county. with its
"a. 1852 inhabitants, from the
Second district and putting it
i'm the First.
Cecil is on the Eastern Shore
and has had representatives in
the United States Senate but
the real "Slmon pure" Eastern
Shoreman of the lower counties
always considered her in this
particular an unwelcome mem
Der of the family. If she is
thus of necessity taken into
complete family acknowledge
ment she will be entitled to
make figures on the Congress
sional slate.
The Eastern Shore has here
tofore been the starting point.
from Worcester upward, i'm
stringing the contiguous terri
tory" of each of our six Con
gressional districts. 1t is as
sumed that the same line of EN-
gineering will be followed in
the redistricting that will be
one of the results of the
present session of the Legisla-
ture. What effect the the trans
fer of Cecil to the First district
will have on the Second. Third
Fourth and Fifth districts, or
how the gerrymander will be
engineered to meet the require
ments of Federal law, remains
to be seen. If it takes from the
Second, and the Second cannot
stand the loss, the deficiency
must be made up from contigu-
Gus territory, and so on all the
way through.
The population of the First
district. according TO the Fed
eral census of 1900, is as fol-
lows.
