Years ago gentleman settled in tho
south OF England and became very
popular In the neighborhood. The
county families could never discover
now he had made his money. but
were satisfied by his solemn assurance
that it was not IN trade. Nothing
could exceed the ordinary gravity OF
his demeanor. which indeed caused
him TO be placed on the commission
Of peace. but now and then. without
any apparent provocation. he would
burst into such Il laugh as no one ever
heard before except in one place.
Where they could have heard it puz-

PADDED PAYROLL COST.

1t would be mighty interesting to
know just what the running expense
cost of the session of the MARYLAND leg
islature would have been if the control
ling majorities in both branches had
been as intently determined to econ
omize as they were, by the indications,
bent upon squandering. The padded
payroll graft, according to the estimate
of Governor Warfield in his last mes
sage, dipped out of the state treasury
in 1904 about $75, 900 and about the
same amount in 1906 And in making
this estimate the governor seems to
have made a liberal allowance for all
legitimate expenses of each of the ses-
sions referred to.
1t develops since adjournment that
this 1910 session has broken all previous
records in paying out money to people
WAC rendered absolutely no service to
the state in return for the amounts
they received. At the beginning Of
fashion, bill was put through provid-
ing lump sum expense fund of $780,
000 This amount, according to eX-
Governor Warfed's estimate, was
S25, 900 more than enough for all legiti-
mate expenses. Near the end OF the
session, however, deficiency bill was
put through providing $780, addi-
tional, or total of 100000. Now it
transpires that there is yet a shortage
of between 81, 900 and $1,000.
The cost of the last session exceeded
the cost of any previous high-cost SEES
sions by from 81, 900 to'$1O, 600. 1t does
not appear that the legitimate expenses
of this session are any greater than the
legitimate expenses of the 1908 session.
The cost of carrying the extras-the
padded payroll crowd that rendered no
service-has apparently been raised
from $75, 900 to S82, 900.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF 1910

The Democrats were Overwhelmingly
in the majority in both branches of the
General Assembly and they seized this
opportunity to enact vicious partisan
legislation very much as though they
were in doubt whether the chance would
come again. They began business by
squandering money on horde of useless
employees and from the start good legis-
lation had a rough road to travel while
bad legislation required the constant
efforts of the press and patriotic men of
both parties, to knock out. To read the
history of their daily doings was to
arouse feeling of resentment and dis
gust and all over the State good people
were praying that its sessions would
soon end. True, some measures de-
manded by public sentiment were pass
ed after the most vigorous hammering
was done by the press and by good men
of both parties. but the Democratic ma
joritY had high time and as far as
they could they sought to take every
advantage of the minority, from enact
ing petty party measures on up to their
open defiance of the laws of Maryland
and the Constitution of the United
States by the passage of the Digges
law refusing registration to negroes.
All important measures were kept on
ice until the closing hours and then
rushed through under suspension of the
rules. The Digges bill was introduced
at II O'Clock at night and finally passed
at 2 O'Clock in the morning. Perhaps
on the theory that so foul was the deed
that it was fitting that it should be ac-
complished in the dead of night when
honest felix were asleep. Hundreds Of
bills We're rushed through without six
members on the floor knowing the sub
ject matter In the House clerk fire.
quently would not call more that five or
SIX names on the roll call for members
to vote AYE" or mo" on pending
