The Commission Plan

A movement is said to be on foot
to circulate petitions asking for the
adoption of the commission form of
government for Aberdeen. The Her.
aid understands that the petitions will
be circulated this week, and has no
doubt they will receive a sufficient
number of signatures to call the cleo
ton. About 375 names are required
under the law and no difficulty will
be experienced in securing them. The
movement cannot be considered as
reflection upon the present officials
OF the city. 1t simply means the
adoption of more modern system.
The adoption or rejection of the
plan in the city will depend largely
upon general understanding of the
law, and knowledge of it's success
full working in other cities. 1t is a
noticeable fact, that no city operat-
ing under this form of government
has yet seriously contemplated re-
turning to the old system. While it
is no cure-all for the evils of NUM-
cipal government it is a pretty safe
remedy for many of them. 1t sim
ply means the application of business
methods in public affairs, and it's
workings should be studied by all
having the welfare of the city at
heart.

TAX REFORM

Tax reform is in the air, Washing
ton must soon join the long list of
states which have decided that the
old style property tax, with the sole
of object of raising revenue and over
looking economic effects, is objection
able and obsolete.
Taxation is deep question and to
many laymen, especially those who
escape under exemption clauses or
otherwise, dull one. Politicians
have been prone to adopt more pop
ular and easily understood planks in
their platforms and to class taxation
among the dead issues.
Thus it was that when the state tax
commission submitted an amendment
to the constitution at the last session
of the legislature, which would permit
revising the archaic tax laws of Wash
ington, the legislators paid scant at
tention to it and voted it down at the
first opportunity.
But the same general awakening of
the people that was manifested in the
progressive movement in national poll
tics is displaying itself in the interest
voters are paying to the tax situation
in Washington. Before the next cleo
ton an even greater impetus probably
will be given to the movement and
when the legislature meets in 1913 re-
suits may be in sight.
That the change will go far as to
result in the single tax, pet theory of
Henry George, is hardly to be expect
ed. The tax question is delicate one
and too severe and sudden change
would be regarded as almost as bad
as no change at all.
That some reform is necessary,
however, is the belief of thinking
me Only IS states in the union re-
tai ashington's system of general
pre- tax without distinction-and

of all, under this law 700 banks have

1t really seems to be law under

hold and We guess that it will be some

a lightning incubator of banks, but
it surely is doing some fine nursing

ing convention Of the National German
American Alliance by DR.. Kurt Voelck
ner, Gustave Bender, Martin Wiegand.

These delegates were elected at the

922 Pennsylvania avenue, with q large

vention plans. He said that the general

PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND

Twas his primary election law that
finally got through; it was his
State roads proposition that was
adopted. He forced the income
tax resolution through the Sen
ate, and he unquestionably saved
the public utilities bill.
'Lee's enthusiastic friends
and no man has more of them
have already nominated and
elected him Governor of Mary
land"
Lee stands for self-govern-
ment for Baltimore city, and also
for the counties. He believes
that Baltimore should have full
control of her police force, free
from State interference. He
stands for the building through
out Maryland of good, substan-
tial roads at an economic cost,
and in this respect he has the
support of every progressive
citizen of the State, irrespective
of party affiliations.
Lee claims that he will carry
all the counties in the Sixth
Congressional District, Prince
George, Charles, st. Mary's and
Talbot of the Fifth District, Car
roll, Baltimore and Howard of
the Second, and three Legislative
Districts of Baltimore City. He
is sure of carrying several of the
Eastern Shore counties. Cecil he
is sure of, and his friends say that
he has a good fighting chance of
capturing the doubtful counties.
For several weeks Senator
Lee has been travelling about the
State, meeting large crowds of
men and women in every place
he visited. He has taken his
case directly to the people, and
he has been enthusiastically re-
ceived by them in every place he
has visited. 1t is certain that he
will poll a tremendous vote in
the primary election on August
%, and he expects that
large percentage of this vote will
come from the laboring people,
whose friend he has shown him
self to be.

portant measures.
Senator Lees mother was
Elizabeth Blair, the only daugh-
ter of Francis P. Blair, Sr., who
was the editor of "The Globe" I"
which was used as a ''Congres-
sional Record" in the days of
Andrew Jackson. Francis P.
Blair and Andrew Jackson we're
the warmest of friends, socially
and politically.
1t will be seen from the FORE
going that Blair Lee comes from
a stock strongly Democratic in
political beliefs. He has always
worked for the best interests of
the party since he became. a
voter.
After finishing his, career at
Princeton University in 1880,
Mr.. Lee studied law at Colum-
bia University, in Washington.
After graduating from the law
school he took up the practice
of his profession, and has been
successful from the start.
In, 1896 he was the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress
from the Sixth Maryland District.
Since that time Mr.. Lee has been
much in the public eye.
1t was in 1905 that Mr.. Lee was
elected to the State Senate by the
electorate of Montgomery coun-
ty, and by a>large majority. He
was again returned to the Legis-'
lature in 1909 by a still larger
and his record as a
State Senator stands out as one

litical history Of Maryland-<
