Senator Moore poses A Bill
Revising The r. esent Law.

ANNAPOLIS. MD, Feb. 4.-Senatol
Moore intends to prepare a bill revising
the General Incorporation law of the
State. In his inaugural address the
President of the Senate. Mr.. Hubner
adverteG to the necessity of some such
legislation. and the Importance of prop
er revision has long been recognized
Mr.. Hubner and others have spoken OF
the misfortune of Marylanders being
compelled to go to New Jersey and
West Virginia for charters which they
should get under their own laws. But
the reason why men go to these States
is that the corporation laws are so liberal
that corporation formed there can dc
anything. As long as this looseuess
prevails in those States it is to be as,
sumed that people will go to them for
charters. 1t is not likely that the PEG.
pie of Maryland would tolerate such
laws. New Jersey has been called the
nursery of trusts, and it is the desire OF
MarYlanders to curb rather than pro-
mote trusts.
In New Jersey TO form corporation
it requires three or more persons. A
certificate must be filed with the Score
tary of state, accompanied by the re
quired fees This certificate must con
tain the name. the location of the prin
cipal Office. the object of the corporation
authorized capital stock, names and adj
dresses of incorporators. subscribers tC
.he stock and period of existence.
Restrictions upon railroad. telegraph
and other corporations which are &C
operate in the State do not apply tC
those which are to operate outside the
State.
There must be at least three directors
for a corporation. one of whom is to be
resident of the State Corporations
have power to increase their capital
stock, make preferred stock. assess
shares of stock. change location of prin
cipal office within the State or dissolve
themselves.
Foreign corporations doing bushes:
in New Jersey must pay the same taxes
as are imposed on New Jersey corpora
tions in the home States of the foreign
corporation. a general reciprocity plan.
Any two corporations can merge and
become one corporation. The real and
personal property of corporations are
taxed as the property of individuals, ex'
cept railway. turnpike insurance com
panies and banks. Upon these latter
corporations there is franchise tax
upon their gross receipts.
1t is understood that Senator Moore
in his bill will adopt the best features
of the New Jersey law aud none of it:
Objectionable ones. A great object &c
be attained by the revision of the Gen.
eral Corporation law is to provide for
the formation Of all kinds of corpora.

take the whole business out of the hands

THE REAL ISSUES.

IRON THE ACTION Of Demo-
/ cratic conventions which have met
this year. It is plain the party pro-
poses to make an aggressive campaign
on live issues and cut out the dead
timber that has numbered their plat
forms in former fights. The action of
the executive committee of the con-
gressionaI committee not long since
foreshadowed such a plan; and the pro-
gramme adopted in the state conven-
tons since confirms it.
Trusts. tariff and taxation sum up
the main issue; and the danger to
American institutions from Imperialism
I'm the colonies will be a collateral ar
gument
Every indication points to a revolt in
the Republican party against the war
tariff and its children. the trusts. Tax

OF combinations fostered by the tariff.
are the evils most dangerous to the
national welfare and are forcing them
selves most urgently upon the attention
OF the people.
They involve a principle that appeals
10 every citizen regardless Of party, and
constitute an issue that cannot be ig-
nored or cried down. The attempt TO
divert attention from these issues by
an appeal TO sectional hatred or the
lust OF conquest and gain cannot be
made successful.
il the campaign is centered upon
these questions. the Democratic party
may reasonably hope to make great
gains in the congressional elections and
pave the way for victory in 1904
II Is worthy of note in this connec-
ton that the younger. more progressive
men Of the party are coming to the
front i'm the management of affairs.
The prominence Of Gable and Att
schuler and Hopkins in Illinois is only
an instance of the drift of affairs with
in The party and it indicates a pro
gressiye reorganization Of the entire
party machinery

NEGLECT CITY BUSINESS.

He PROPORTIONS ERS Of Third
South street paid the city months
ago a tax for paving their street and
while that money las been in the city
treasury no earnest effort has been
made TO get the work done.
A part Of the street was torn up. d.
verting travel and injuring the busi-
ness OF tenants until patience ceased to
be a virtue and the aggrieved citizens
protested to the city authorities. Now
come the contractors for paving, the
Alcatraz company, and plead inability
to get the proper material for curbing
as an excuse for their diiatoriness.
The excuse is worse than the delay.
If there had been any good reason il
would not have taken months to find it
out. Paving has gone on in Second
South street with a CELEBRITY that dis
proves the excuse offered and the
council ought to make the Alcatraz
company get down to business on
Third South street at once.
And while the council is discussing
delay it might explain why the city
crematory is. not coming on faster. The
money for that has also been in the
treasury a long time. 1t was derived
from the sale Of city property and the
excuse for this sale was the necessity
of a crematory to take care of the
citys sanitation this summer.
Up to date there has been no sign
OF attention to the matter. Possibly
the fact that the deposits of money
that belong to special funds offset the
city's enormous overdraft. and so save
interest. may be an explanation OF the
criminal delay. But no matter what
the explanation. the procrastination in
these two works of public importance
has grown uncomfortable.
Mayor Thompson and his council
ought to be pillOried by public opin-
ion for their negligence OF this mu-
nicipal business.

THE RESERVATION BILL.

legislation were more brazea in their

opened long ago and probably would
have been If interested public officials

So powerful is this combination that

a law without provision protecting
the Florence Mining company in It's

The GROWTH OF LUXURY.

IN THE EARLY DAYS in this eoun-
try there were many laws which
are laughed at now, but which were,
perhaps, necessary to meet the condi-
tons that then existed One that to-
day would be looked upon as the
height of governmental impertinenee,
provided for the infection Of dire pen
alties upon persons whose expenditures
exceeded their incomes. The first set
tiers had a righteous horror OF debt,
and. as far as possible, they saw to it
that themselves and their ueighbors
kept out Of it.
An article by John Gilmer Speed in
Ainslie's for June almost makes ere
wish for a revival of The obsolete stat
ute. Mr.. Speed calls attention to the
growth Of and the growing love Cor
luxury in this country. THE hurt of
luxury" he says. considered as
necessity. is in others who cannot af-
ford to lead luxurious lives, but who
consider that to lead palmer lives is
almost indecent
Mr.. Speed has reached the heart of
the matter in a very few words. The
force of example has started more
young people on the broad path toward
destruction than any other influence.
A young man and his wife are living
in smart neighborhOod. He is draw
ing a small salary and his neighbors
are possessed of independent means.
Mrs. Robinson, next door, appears in a
handsome new dress or an expensive
cloak. and the little woman who is
just starting life with her saIaried hus-
band feels that she is a martyr unless
her things are just as good as Mrs.
RObinsOn's. And usually she gets them,
though it means the ruin of the man
she loves.
And the women are really less often
to blame than the men. No man likes
TO associate with other men unless he
holds up his end" as the saying goes.
If it is a crowd that drinks, he must
treat as often as anybody else, he must
wear just as good clothes. drive just
as fine horses, live in just as fine a
house. Debts pile up. higher. higher,
higher, and the first thing that young
man knows he is hopelessly involved.
He hasn't been happy, either. for true
happiness consists in living within
ones income. The most contented peo-
pie are the people who do without when
they haven't the money with which to
buy.
Formerly when a young man was
finished at college he set about learn
ing profession or business. and
finding a wife at the same time" says
Mr.. Speed. when he was prepared
for the one he WAS ready for the other.
II is vastly different nov, for now the
youths must begin where the Old folks
leave off-they must do this or they
/ lose caste. The whole topsy-turvy dis
arrangement Of all that which is nat
uraI and proper may all be attributed
to that growth Of luxury which is the
most marked Characteristics Of the age
in which we live

SHIP SUBSIDY GAME.

DIGIT on TIE HEELS Of the an
N ncuncement that J. 2. Morgan has
combined practically all OF the Ameri-
can steamship lines and most of the
foreign companies, an attempt was
made I'm congress on Monday to pass
ship subsidy measure for Pacific
ocean traffic. 1t was not called a sub
sidy. but under another name it has
just as rank an odor.
Congressman Stevens Of Minnesota
made the move and asked a suspension
Of the rules for its adoption. He failed
only because he did not have the
requisite two-thirds Of the house. His
motion was ito authorize the secretary
Of war. in his discretion. 10 favor
American-built ships in the transpor-
tation OF government supplies to the
Philippines across the Pacific ocean"
On IT'S face. that looks simple enough.
but the debate developed the fact that
American-built ships ON the Pacific
have about all the business they can
handle, and that IL the secretary Of
war in his discretion used these ships
The nation would have to pay very
heavy price for the privilege.
