Bills to Come Before the Legislature.

The Maryland Legislature will be begin its
sessions at Annapolis on Wednesday, January
3d. Already subjects of legislation are being
considered, and opinions and advice are being
freely offered.
The repeal of the Shoemaker road law is
advocated, because it bears uneveuly. Coun-
ties which do not feel able to increase taxation
in order TO secure their proportion of the
500, 900 appropriated by the law, receive no
benefit, but have to pay their part of the
$500, 900. 1t is contended that the money
should be apportioned TO the counties out
right, without conditions. to be used for road
improvement under local authorities.
There is some agitation for the repeal of
the judges pension law. Senator Robinson,
of Hartford county, who was a candidate for
reelection, lost many votes because he sup
ported the measure in the Senate.
A corrupt practices act, which will require
candidates for office 10 render an account un-
der oath of their campaign expenses, will be
up again. The theory of the bill is that it
will curtail campaign contributions and lessen
pflpery anu coIiuP'lOh AZ eie0uO"S' JUN d
law is in force in a number of States, but the
use of money in elections has not seemed to
have lessened.
The Haman oyster bill will make its APP
pearance early il the session, and will have
vigorous champions and opponents. As the
bill provides for the application Of the funds
arising from leasing oyster bottoms to the
improvement of public roads, should il be
come law the Shoemaker law will 10 doubt
be repealed.
There will be numerous bills, of course, to
alter aud amend the election law, but il is not
probable any considerable change will be
divided

Election Thoughts.

There is no vacancy IN the position Of City
Bailif of Westminster. Westminster district
however, is soon to have a new tax collector.
MOtier for County Commissioner was done
up Brown.
Chew tried for office on the Prohibition
ticket eight years ago. as n candidate for Clerk
of the Circuit Court, and iried to be County
Treasurer on the Republican ticket last Tues
day. Maybe some other party will rise up
eight years hence aud be can try again.
Earhart is once again called upon to survey
Yeiser's majority.
Election day Was not good time for patriots
to sit on the fence. Not many we're induced
to come down by bank votes
Witherow perhaps now thinks a bird in hand
is worth two in the bush-that the position Of
register and Judge is better than promise OF
the boss TO send him TO Annapolis to become
statesman.
No use to Chew it over, Hams majority is
about Que hundred above normal.
Motter is winning name in Carroll, when
it is on the right ticket.
Voting is private affair with which the
public has nothing to do, unless the man who
votes with an opposition party becomes am
bilious and wants an Office. His voting record
then is open to discussion.
The Repub lican vote fell below the poll of
last year at every precinct in Carroll except
in Mt. Airy district There il was only one
vote short. and Walter Rudy deserves another
term as postmaster.
On the face of the returns of the election
last week, Maryland declared in favor of negro
suffrage and against good roads. In response
to the public verdict the Legislature will have
to turn down the Hannah bill, or at least
amend il so as to dedicate the funds from the
tax on oyster lands TO some other purpose
than the improvement of public roads. 1.-THE
people deliberately recorded their sentiments
this is a logical conclusion.

Among the older class of business
men of our beautiful village may be
mentioned the well known and cour-
teous gentleman, Mr.. Charles y. Pow
ers, the subject of this sketch, whose
familiar face is shown IN the accom-
panying illustration.
Mr.. Powers is the son of George
Powers who was one of the early set
tiers of the Maumee Valley and re-
sided in the charming country home
just east of town. Here the subject
of our sketch was born and raised,
and is worthy son of worthy par
ent.
He was educated in the public
schools of our place and has spent his
entire life among the people of this
good old town, conducting himself in
a manner that has won for him the
respect and good will of every citizen
of the locality.
