ANNAPOLIS. Md. June g. 1906
| A discovery which is liable to throw a
scare" into the state teachers and judges
! of thu various circuits was made at the
| state house yesterday. If the discovery is
pushed in the manner which certain persons
claim t will be it will cause the withdrawal
OF pensions which are being paid to judges
and school teachers upon retirement at a
certain age. Whether or not the matter
will be taken up before the next session of
| the legislature is not known. but a move
ment is expected in certain quarters which
| will cause a stoppage of the payment or
pensions for the present at least.
| Secrion 80, article of the Maryland con-
stitufion explicitly states that no system of
pensioning shall be adopted by the legisla
| ture, and this would seem to be directly
opposed to the system of pensioning school
teachers and judges. 1t was while investl-
eating the wording of the constitution with
| reference to tie manner in which constr
| tutional conventions shall be called that
the section and article mentioned Were
found
Members of the board of public works
who were engaged in making the search of
tie constitution were rather surprised at
the wording of the article and that ii had
not prevented the passage of the legisla-
| ton which provides a pension OF 500 per
month to judges
