PROTECT TOWN FROM RIVER
Sites Preparing for High Water Other
News From the Signal.

At the regular meeting of the com
mercial club, Tuesday evening, the con
struction of that protective wall along
the river front was again brought up
Various plans and suggestions were dis
cussed at length, and line of action
was finally agreed upon, which will re-
suit in the erection in the near future,
of the much needed protection. The
nature of the plans are withheld for
the present, for good reason; but will
be published as soon as it is deemed
advisable.
A suggestion by President Packer
which met with instant approval by the
members present, was the holding of
weekly debates at the school, among
the grown-ups as well as the pupils.
The evident fact that this town is with
out any literary organization, makes
this idea a commendable one. Mr..
Packer made further suggestions that
the school board should take up this
matter with Professor Broekett, and
to begin holding these debates at once,
commencing next Friday night, contin-
uing throughout the school term.
It is deplorable that not more bust
nessmen and citizens attend the meet
ings of the club, but prefer as is the
case with some, to growl and kick at
their actions, when in reality they are
doing things which are the
best for the town and everyone living
in it. The commercial club, through
its efforts, was instrumental in bring
ing about the building of the water
works system, the new school house
and many other improvements, whose
everyone has the privil-
ege to enjoy. Now then, let us all try
to atted the meetings regularly and
work in harmony for bigger and bet
Ter Sites.

holder it will certainly increase the val

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH %, 1912
ONE MORE WEEK

Only one more week of the Mary
land Legislature remains, and prac-
ticaily every important issue that has
been introduced will as usual have
to b. rushed through in the last hur-
ried days OF the session. Most OF the
big and important bills, Of general
interest to the public, are either in
committees or are being held upon
the reading files so as TO prevent the
serious party division, that j. feared
IL they were submitted to the floor.
At each session of the Legislature
this same condition, confronts IL, yet
nothing has been done to better the
situation. Surely some method should
be devised by which questions of leg
islation might be expeditiously dealt
with and disposed of with tinality.
Some other states have solved the
problem: In some cases, by reduc-
ing the session to 60 days, it IS found
that quite a. much can be accomplish
ed in the shorter period. In New
York the members are paid salary
and the time limit IL removed; 10 that
they get through with what has to be
done as soon as possible to attend
To their private business interests.
1t has ben suggested that before our
next Legislature meets, commission
be appointed to study the question
thoroughly, to find out Just what other
States are doing, and To devise some
plan by which the State Assembly
would have better method Of pro-
cedure, and would push business in
a more business like way.
By all means let something Of the
kind be done.

JUDGES AND THEIR SALARIES.

"The bill I'm the Legislature TO in-
crease the pay or the Judiciary OF the
State is not wanting in merit" says
the Marylander and Herald, published
at Princess Anne.
Although there are usually numer-
GUS applicants for the judgeship, III j.
not always possible TO secure the
best talent for the bench without some
sacrifice on the part OF those whose
services are regarded a. eminently
satisfactory. AS a rule the lawyer
who t. prominent il bis profession,
and especially in the cities, has
practice that is very remunerative. To
leave it to 20 upon the bench necessa-
rily means more or less sacrifice.
There can certainly be no objection
to paying our public officials well. ln
fact 1t has always been our belief that
they should be so well paid as to
preclude the necessity OF 2 pension
system. 1t would be wisdom to pay
such men the salaries that they de-
serve and that fully compensate
them for their service and then let
them do their own saving. It would
be better for all concerned and The
approach Of old age and disqualified
ton for service would be with more
enjoyable reflections than those con-
sequent upon a system that savors
of restitution.
"Of course both systems are sub
iect to criticism; but when it is con-
sidered that a good and learned judge
il one Of our most important neces-
sites, such criticism will have an off
set i'm the knowledge that his salary -
money well earned and worthily be
slowed. The system Of well paid Off
Gals in their period Of efficiency j.
better than one OF demands upon the
treasury for the period Of retirement.
Our opinion in this respect should b.
reinforced by the further one that If
salaries are suitably raised, the pen
sion system, except a. to present ben
eficiaries, should be abolished.

THE CAMPAIGN PRIMER.

Q.-What is meant by the initiative,
referendum, and recall?
A.-They are three separate and
distinct things.
Q.-Why do we find them so fire.
quently grouped together?
A.-Because they are parts Of the
movement which has gained great
Roadway ia the country to give The
people a more direct control over the
affairs of government
Q.-What il the initiative?
Alt is a system Of legislation
whereby the people have power to
propose laws and enact Of reject the
same at the polls Independent OF a
legislative assembly.
Q.-How are such laws brought be
fore the people?
A.-The election officials are au-
thorized and instructed to submit
them upon petition of a certain per
cent. of the total number of voters.
Q.-What il the referendum?
Alt is a system whereby laws
passed by a legislative assembly may
be submitted to the people for ratifca-
ton or rejection, upon petition of
certain per cent of the total number
OF voters.
Q.-What is the recall =?
Alt il a system whereby any pub
lie officer may be removed from office
if a majority of the voters so vote
at an election held for the purpose.
Q.--Are these elections held upon
petition of certain per cent. of the
voters, a. j. the case with the initia-
tive and referendum elections?
Ayes, but usually the per cent.
of voters petitioning for the recall
must be greater than the per cent.
required to insure the initiative and
referendum elections.
Q-Do these policies imply the
abandonment of representative gov
eminent ?
A.-No, but they do restrict the
powers of the representatives.
Cts that wise thing to do?
A-The advocates of the theory
hold that it is necessary in order to
counterfeit the evils or machine or
boss government. They say that be-
cause Of the growth Of the political
machine the alleged representatives
of the people frequently do not rep
resent them, representing rather the
machine and the boss
Q.-What are the chief arguments
urged against these systems?
A.-That they % restrict the power
of the peoples representatives that
capable men would not care to hold
Office under them; that under the
initiative there is no provision for
altering the form of laws after calm
discussion has shown changes to be
necessary; and that the people will
not study the measures submitted
to them and vote intelligently upon
them.
Q.-What are the answers To these
arguments ?
A-That the peoples representa-
tives are made more dignified and
useful by these systems because the
possibility of their use prevents die
tation by corporations and machines
and enables the legislators to use
their brains and patriotism in franz
ing the highest type Of legislation;
that the class of legislators could not
be worse than it is normally under
the boss system; that the laws will
ordinarily be framed with sufficient
care before they are submitted to the
people under the initiative and that
anyhow the people have only to de-
eide whether or not the proposed
law il better Or worse than the *
listing one; and, generally, that the

COMPOUND IN
PLACE OF AIR
FRY BROTHERS HAVE SAMPLES
AND ARE THE STATE
AGENTS.

We call attention to the large adj
vertisement of Fry Brothers in this
paper, who are sole distributors of
Zilio, a tire filler, that takes the place
of air.
1t is quite essential that all auto
mobile owners should investigate this
filler if they wish to save themselves
future elays and expense with plnct-
ures, blow outs and slow leaks.
Zilio is a vegetable compound, in
appearance it is reddish brown, very
much like a plum pudding. 1t is
made under a secret process. 1t con-
tains no rubber and is much more
resilient than rubber.
Fry Brothers have samples of this
filler in their Office for the benefit o.
those who wish to examine it. Zilio
has really solved the tire troubles
for the future, not only for utomo-
biles but for trucks, or any motor
machine that uses air in the wheels.
