Times, tn" proposed mortgage tax repeal be-
comes S"riuIIS matter when lis most con
Spicuous result will be an Increased tax rate.
'l'he law wa passed against the protest of the
very Interests now urging It's adjustment, and
no other interests. Its enactment was step

of tie Bill Il X gl,tS. which declares that

exempt, are replaced by new mortgages, which
are not exempt.

PemsiOning Judges.


Speaker Mitchell has introduced a bill to
provide for the retirement and pen>ionng of
the judges of the Court Of Appeals, the Su
premc Bench of Baltimore and the associate
judges of the various judicial circuits of the
State on three fourhs pay, being an amount
about that which the judges received under
the original provision of our Constitution, and
which was deemed ample for the discharge CT
the full duties for the term. The bill should
be defeated. The idea OF pen%onimg our circuit
Judges was never contemplated by the franz
erS of the Constitution. Their salary Is ample
and permits them to l!v" in comfort and ease
and lay by sufficient to keep them after retire

difficulty in getting desirable judges, 50 long

Ehr ErnnkS AT Annapolis.

From the EdSlOn Ledger.
There :tIr numerous cranky measures be-
fore thr General Assembly which should he
promptly east away.
One is compulsory school attendance.
Another is I,enSOning school teachers and
Judges.
A third is IL public library on wheels to be
maintained at public expense and travel from
place to pace
One m, re is Architect BraunS fish law
one NAV lead or drive Il horse to the water
trough and not he able to make HIM drink.
So there ma> be compulsory school aten-
dance hy law; but there never will be and can
not be compulsory education.
The pension business is vastly overdone In
its application to military service. We want
no addition to the pensioned classes.
A rolling library such as is contemplated
would be public nuisance. Books and
newspapers are too cheap now and too easy
to get to warrant the thought of maintaining
travelling libraries by taxation. There are
too many books of the library kind in circula-
tion now.
Change the title of Brauns's fish law bill to
"a Bill to Prevent Catching and Eating Fish
Except by Sportsmen, and its head will cor
respond with its body.
There is room for one more, and we are
expecting daily to see bill introduced to
enact ''Curfew Law" for the whole State.
Let the General Assembly bruise the heels
and crack the skulls of the cranks.
