LEGISLATURE.

The Frederick delegation are busilv
engaged formulating plans to put through
the economy bills, which are nonpartisan
Senator Matthias who also favors the
measures has offered the bills in the SEN
ate and will urge their passage.
A bill providing for the levying of
taxes, and placing the levy at July I,
taxes becoming due instantly, and inter
est to be charged after September I. IF
the taxes are not paid by February 7, Il
becomes mandatory on the part of the
treasurer to advertise the delinquent tax
PAYERS property for sale.
The second measure provides for re.
duction of the board of county commits
sioners from five mem bers to three. who
are to hold office for two years. Their
salary will be $1,000 Commissioners
Amman and Hotter will be permitted to
serve IN 1915. Then there will be no
election until 1917, when three commits
slioners will be elected, one for two wears
and one for four years and one for six
years. This means an election every two
years.
The third bill provides for an auditing
commission of three men appointed by
the court They are to receive four dol
lars per day and are to audit the accounts
OF the county commissioners, tax collec--
tor, school board and board of charities
and correction. if there is any. This bill
is similar to the one which has been in
vogue in Caroline county for about 20
years and has worked well.
There are two other bills yet to be in
troduced. One provides for changes in
the county treasurer's office and provides
tor fixed salary Of about s., COO for the
treasurer. The other bill proves a road
engineer for Frederick. This official is
to receive f.. 900 annually.

bill abolishipg the law which gives a PEN
sion OF 81, 400 year to judges after they
have reached seventy wears OF age. 1t is
understood that this bill is prompted bv
the fact that there is some possibility
that the bill to increase the salaries Of
judges will be passed by the legislature.
The famous LeGore Bridge Bill passed
to third reading, the unfavorable report
was knocked out and the bill substituted
for the report.
-Four of the economy bills are favored
by the county delegation and their ac-
ton favorably received by the Legisla-
ture.

WHY REDUCE THE NUMBER
OF COUNTY COMMITS
SIONERS +?

From the public press we notice there
has been presented for the consideration
Of the General Assembly of Maryland
bill having as its single feature the
elimination of two members of the County
Commissioners of Frederick county after
they have served the terms for which
they were elected by the people. This
will leave the board composed of three
Commissioners, which seems to be the
eventuality desired by those who are
sponsors for the bill
THE CITIZEN has not heard any great
demand for the reduction of the mem.
bership of the Board of County Com
missioners and we are not aware that it
was a plank in the platform presented to
the people before the election last fall.
And further we have not heard or been
presented with any facts which would 90
to show the need for such restrictive leg
islation.
The great problem Of economy is as
mysterious and perplexing as that Of
taxation and we hope sometime to see it
solved to the benefit of the human race,
but we rather question the proprieties
of the proposed legislation as applied to
this large and populous county and feel
certain that it could not be carried as
prospect for initiative and referendum,
were that economic measure part of our
public statutes.
Five members of the Board Of County
Commissioners, if they do their duty by
the taxpayers of the county, is not too
many, considering the vast extent of the
territory within their jurisdiction. and
any attempt to reduce the number must
be viewed with suspicion, no matter from
what source it eminates.

Books to go by Parcel Post.

Beginning on Monday, March 18th,
printed books will be carried in the
Parcel Post at considerable reduc-
ton in the rates from those which will be
operative until midnight Sunday, March
18th.
Catalogues and cloth and paper bound
volumes are included in the classification
of books. A noticeable increase in tn e
Parcel Post business is expected
as consequence of the reduced cost OF
mailing.
Books weighing eight ounces or less.
will retain the present third-class rate of
cents for each ounce or fraction of an
ounce. When the book or package of
books weighs more than eight ounces
thh Parcel Post rates for the various
zones apply
Under the present rates it costs 80
cents to send package of books weigh
ing 10 ounces from Baltimore to New
York by mail. The Parcel Post rate on
the same package will be ID cents. To
send book weighing two pounds to
Pittsburg by mail would cost 16 cents
under the present rates and cents by
Parcel Post. These are samples of the
reductions that became operative on
Monday, March 10th.

Fort McHenry Park to be I'm
proved.

Congress, during the present session,
passed an act giving the Secretary of War
authority to convey to the City of Balti-
more, under certain restrictions, the his
toric Fort McHenry to be preserved as
national memorial of the Star-Spangled
Banner anthem. The act carries no APP
preparation, as from its nature it was
intended merely to give the Secretary of
War, discretionary power to convey it,
This puts rather heavy burden upon
Baltimore CITY, and large delegation
headed by Mayor Preston went to Wash
ington on Monday, March 18TH to ap-
pear before the House Committee and
make known the character of the improve
ments needed and incidentally to ask
for an appropriation of $500, 900 appro-
priation to aid in carrying them into ef-
feet. The City Administration feels that
memorial hall should be erected by the
general government on the grounds as
place in which to preserve relics of the
War of 1872 and the attack on Fort Nc
Henry in 1874. The effect of the visit of
the delegation cannot be readily deter
mined, but it is believed by various men,
bers OF it that Congress will not fail to
make an appropriation fully adequate
for the necessary improvements.

INCREASE OF JUDICIAL SAL
ARIES.

The bill to increase the salaries of the
judges of the State has been introduced
in the Senate and passed This bill
now goes to the House Of Delegates
where it is thought it will not pass
If the bill is finally passed and becomes
law, the salary of Chief Judge in
each Judicial Circuit will be 81. 500.
and the salary Of each Associate Judge
will be S., 900. This is an increase Of
81, 700 for the Chief Judges who now
get the modest sum Of S., 800. The
salary of the Associate Judges will be
increased 81, 400 each, whereas thew
now get the triAing sum Of So, 600 dol
lars year. We do not discover the
slightest necessity for any increase in
the judge salaries whatever. The iu-
dicial salaries are already the high
est in the history Of this State,
and every judge now on the bench,
when he accepted the position
knew what the salary was and gladly
accepted it. Not only did they accept it,
but made an active contest to Sc
cure the nomination, and then spent
large sums Of money to be elected, and
there is not one in the whole State that
is heard to complain that the salary is
insufficient, and if there is one of them
that is willing or intends to resign, we
have not heard his name. The

Is Baseball to Conquer the worldP

Products of American farms and OF
American manufacturers are found in
every corner of the world. Is this coun-
try going to achieve another conquest OF
the same sort in regard to sport? Are we
going to make our great national game
universal and establish baseball as per
manent institution in every civilized ma
ton and in some that can scarcely claim
to be civilized?
The recent triumph of baseball in
England suggests the question. Two OF
our best professional teams have beer
touring the British Isles and their journey
has been triumphal progress. AT one
game in London, according to press re-
ports, the attendance reached the aston
ishing total of go, ooo and everywhere the
crowds which have witnessed the con-
tests have worked up into state of ex-
element quite foreign to the average
British throng Of spectators at sporting
event. 1t is said that of recent years no
such enthusiasm has characterized the
emotions of the spectators at even the
most important of the cricket matches;
and this fact, it seems, ought to convince
even the most conservative of Britons
that, as sport for the delectation of on
lockers, baseball is superior to the game
which more than any other has assumed
the character of the British national sport.

The LeGore Bridge and Road
Question is up Again and
Should be Settled One Way
or the Other.

There is now on in the Legislature
quite fight for the passage of the bill
for the appointment of arbltrators to
value the LeGore Bridge and Roads.
which were constructed a number of
years ago under an enabling act of the
Legislature, but which has ever since
been bone of contention. There was
another act passed in 1904, which au-
thorized the County Commissioners to
buy or condemn the roads and bridges.
So the matter is not new one to the
legislators by any means. There has
never been an agreement between any
Board of County Commissioners and
Mr. LeGore. and the present board is on
record as refusing to purchase the bridge
and roads at the price asked by Mr.
LeGore. 1t is said that the cost of
building the roads and bridges was up.
wards of 500, 600, and that the price
asked of the county is beyond those fig
ures. The majority of the Frederick
county delegation is opposed to the prop
ositon, and SO declared in report to
the Legislature recently. Wednesday
night the bill itself was substituted for
the unfavorable report, Mr.. Hall of Balti-
more City, being the spokesman on the
floor. Delegate Wachter, of Frederick
county, was the only one of the local
delegation who favored the bill. Dele
gate Nelson wanted to know the reason
for another bill when the ones prior,
in the opinion of Isaac Lobe Straus, were
sufficient. The proposition in the bill
is that Mr.. LeGore will appoint two ar
bitrators and the County Commissioners
select two and the four will select one
more, who is to be an engineer and
they are to go into the matter and put a
final value on the properties. There
always has been diversity of opinion on
this question, and it really appears that
something definite should be done.
Either Mr.. LeGore is entitled to recover,
as his interests NAV appear, or he is
not, and there should be no trouble in
coming TO decision. All kinds of reports
have been circulated IN regard to why
such an expensive structure was built
and such fine roads constructed, but
there also appears to be something to be
said on his side OF the case. So as far as
| TWeedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee is con

the Countv's back, like the "Old Man o.

promptly. of course with due regard fol

Healthy Work on Farms.

That he is willing to secure healthy
and remunerative employment on some
Maryland farm for every able bodied
man in Baltimore, who is out of Job
and who is willing to work even fairly
hard, was the announcement made re-
Gently by John A. Tschantre, Secretary
OF the States Bureau of Immigration in
that city. According to the immigration
authorities many city men have already
been given employment on the farms,
where they are we'll fed and contented.
According to the estimate of the Fed
Grated Charities there are 5000 healthy,
able bodied men in Baltimore who are
out Of work, although they are anxious
to secure employment Secretary Tsch-
antre stands ready and pledged to do
what he can for the men who are tramp
ing the streets in nearly hopeless
search for work
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1914-03-20

you will agree with me in my conclusion
that the initiative and referendum is a
very good thing.
There are only two honest arguments
advanced-and these not openly-to sup
port the aristocratic or Conservative the
cries of government. One is that the
people are too ignorant to attend to their
own affairs; the other that the people
cannot be trusted to deal justly with
property rights.
The aristocratic theory is that the
public Is too uninteligent to think for
themselves and must select wise persons
to do their thinking for them. The
Democratic theory is that the people
should think for themselves andt elect
representatives to carry out their wish. "
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1914-03-20

truth is, we believe, that there is moth.
ing in reason that would benefit them
to resign. We think that it is
fact that the salary of each
and every judge on the bench in the
State is more than they made year in
and year out in their practice. We
have heard more than one of the Asso-
ciate Judges say when their salaries were
only 81, 500, that it was more than
they made in any one year in their
practice, and it is undoubtedly true now,
when the Associate Judges each get $500
year more than when the convention
of 1867 was adopted and the salaries of
our judges are now more than twice the
salaries of the judges Of West Virginia,
which is larger and richer State than
the State of Maryland. We must say
in justice to the judges that they are not
asking for this increase in their salaries.
If they are asking it, they are doing so
under their breath. We do not believe
that any number of the judges Of this
State or any one of them would have
the courage or the conscience to openly
ask or advocate before the Legislature of
this State the passage of law for this
increase Of salaries at the expense Of the
toiling and already overburdened tax
payers OF all the bills that are before
the Legislature for the appropriation of
the peoples money, this is the most un-
UNSUITABLE and inexcusable. There is
not the slightest reason in justice or ne
cessity for the increase of judicial sala-
res. When the Constitution was
adopted. the salaries Of the three judges
of each Judicial Circuit was SO, 100.
1t has been increased twice since then,
until we now pay the three judges in
this Judicial Circuit S13, 600 year. 1t
is now proposed by this bill to in
crease the salaries of the three Judges to
Sl7 500. This would make it appear
that justice is becoming rare and dear,
and the people if they sustain this law
must certainly be Of this opinion. But
the people Of this State do not and can
not Justify this increase of the judges
salaries. and any man that votes for it
in the Legislature of Maryland is not
likely to represent this county again in
the Legislature. IF this bill should by
any means be passed, and this
additional burden is put upon the tax
payers, it ought to be conclusive warn
ing to the voters of this State to elect
better men to the Legislature if they do
not want to see the taxpayers utterly
feeced.
