The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1906-03-29

In what may prove q fruitlcss effort to
get more. The Senators and Delegates
and the full Board Of Public Works
practically admit that the State is not
strong enough to cope with this railway
corporation, and favor acceptinga large
lump sum Of money at any possible
sacrifice, rather than longer hang on to
the bull which they have very firmly but
with small courage by the horns.
What will be done with the bills to
taX-eNemption privileges of various cor
porations, especially the B. &, O., ard
the bill to prevent discrimination by
the same road against Maryland coal,
is hard to say. 1t is declared positively
that the proposed sale of the State
stock carries with it no promise of any
sort to let up on the crusade against the
taX-eXemption, and yet every one of
these bills is making haste slowly. The
anti-discrimination bill is further along,
but that has lain for acomparatively1ong
time immovable on the third reading
file of the House, while practically every
one of the others has kept carefully
under cover in Senate committees.
The telegraphers' eight-hour bill how
ever has passed both houses, although
the measure is still not clear of danger,
since Senate amendment have not been
concurred in by the House, and a con-
ference committee must still pass upon
the bill.
The legislation in these closing days
resembles nothing so much as a huge
ponderous machine, clanking and grind
ing laboriously along on its difficult
work. The members are all thorough
ly tired and unstrung. Sessions do not
begin until twelve o'clock ordinarily,
but before ten the members of the most
committees are hard at work
going over and passing upon bills, while
from that time on, frequently until
twelve, one or two O'Clock at night
there IS hardly spare moment even
Tor meals. The House for nearly two
