larger counties are unrepreSented in the
Legislature there is no reason why they
should also be unrepresented in the pri
maries for making these important NOM
nations. The present Legislature NAV
not provide for the direct nominations of
State candidates, but the feeling Is now
running SO high and the people are be-
coming so vitality interested in this queS-
ton, that it is predicted by many that in
the next State campaign the issue will be
paramount, and the change will have to
be made by the next Legislature.
There is no doubt that the sentiment of
Maryland today is for fair and popular
primaries for every office and the Dem
ccratIc party should be the first to follow
along with this sentiment. In a general
election the vote of Baltimorean IS
equal TO that of any county man and thus
his vote is as badly needed as that OF
any county man. MANY prominent
county Democrats, under the leadership
of former State Senator Arthur P Cor
man, Jr., of Howard county, are enthu-
siastically urging that the popular pri-
mary system be adopted for all nominal
tons.
The State tax rate of Maryland has, IN
the opinion OF the people, got to the
highest point, and the report that there
is danger of its being increased during
the next few years has caused much
alarm and comment. While the de-
mands for appropriations from the State
and the various State Departments and
institutions receiving State aid are unus-
ually heavy this year, the Legislature
must use the pruning knife in order to
keep them down within reason. During
the past three or four years the taxable
basis in the State has greatly increased,
but despite this increase there has also
been decided increase in the State tax
rate. The Finance Committee OF the
State Senate and Ways and Means Com
mittee Of the House of Delegates are
now working diligently on the State ap-
preparation measures Every day scores
of delegations appear before these two
committees aud advocate appropriations
for various institutions and causes. With
the hope of getting the appropriation
bills out Of the way as early as possible
the probabilities are that within the next
two weeks the Finance Committee and
the Ways and Means Committee will be-
gin holding Joint sessions and the appro-
priation bills whipped ia shape. Every
effort has been made to hold the State
tax rate down to the present figure.

Urge Payment Of City's War
Claim.

Frederick's claim for the reimburse
ment OF the $500, 900 paid to the Confed-
crate Army, under General Tubal A.
Early, July g, 1864, to save the town from
destruction by fire, was again ably pre-
scented to Congressional committee the
hearing being held Saturday morning at
the Capitol in Washington before the
War Claims Committee. of which Hon.
David J. Lewis, of this District, is a
member. Congressman Lewis, since be-
coming a member of Congress, has been
looking after the Frederick War Claim
bill, and he is using his best efforts to
have the measure tavorably reported in
the near future.
Mayor Fraley, Aldermen LLOYD C..
Cutler, Geo. w. Shoemaker, McClel Ian
Phebus, Henry H. Abbott and John H.
Grove and City ATTORNEY Edward J
Smith composed the delegation from
Frederick.
The members of the War Claim com
mittee attending the meeting were: A.
w. Gregg. of Texas, chairman; c. o.
Lebeck, Nebraska; David J. Lewis, Mary
land; Walter Elder, louisiana Frank
Pumley. Vermont; c. Bascom Slemp,
Virginia. Charles w. Bell, California, and
Albert Johnson, Washington.
The hearing opened al 10. 80 O'Clock.
Congressman Lewis made the opening
statement to the Congressional commit
tee, speaking for about Is minutes. He
then introduced City Attorney Edward !.
Smith who outlined the case. presenting
the arguments in a very forcible and ps-
lcal manner.
At the close Of his address, about Il. 30
O'Clock, Senator John Walter Smith, of
Maryland, spoke before the committee,
and made strong argument on behalf Of
Frederick's claim. He spoke for about
20 minutes and when he had concluded
the committee went into executive ses-
sion, adlourning at II O'Clock to attend
the regular session OF Congress.
The members of the committee did not
reach any conclusion on the matter. as
they did not have time to give the ques-
ton sufficient consideration. Another
meeting will be held next Saturday, it is
expected, and Congressman Lewis hopes
to secure favorable action upon the bill
at this time.

law, called the Hannah Law. which was
intended to increase and improve the
oyster supply. 1t provided for survey
OF the oyster bearing waters, and for
leasing the barren bottoms These were
the bottoms where the oysters did not
grow for some reason. The Shell Fish
Commission had the survey made, and
has leased many thousand acres at a fair
rent. The survey was in part done by
the Federal government at an expense
of seventy-fve thousand dollars.
Now there is an effort being made to
repeal the leasing law by the oyster peo-
pie. This will mean the utter destruc
ton of the oysters in a few years.
If this leasing law is sustained in a
few years the State will receive from the
oyster beds splendid revenue, and there

knew Mine Owner Well.

Considerable local interest attaches to
the story OF the death of VIM L. Benton,
a British subject. who was killed in
Jaurez, Mexico, by order of General
Villa. the Constltutionalist commander
in Mexico, as he was an intimate friend
OF Mr.. F. H. Hustled, general agent for
Maryland OF the Mantle Lamp Company,
at Frederick. Mr.. Hustled heard of the
crime with the greatest regrets. He was
associated with Mr.. Benton in a number
of business matters in former years and
spoke'of him in high terms. The killing
of Mr.. Benton, who was mine operator
and owner of considerable property,
brings to the Mexican situation a point Of
intense intern ational interest.

THE PRESERVATION AND THE
CONSERVATION OF THE
OYSTER.


The State Of Maryland is wonder
fully blessed in its natural resources,
and none greater than in the wealth Of
the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.
The greatest wealth Of those waters is its
oysters, and the splendid quality of
those oysters. A wise people with such
natural resource of wealth aud at the
same time such world wide luxury,
owe it to themselves by every law and
all possible means to protect and develop
such blessing and necessity. The PEG
pie of theState have always been justly
proud of its oysters, but they have
never fully appreciated the necessity Of
protecting and developing the oyster in
dustry.
The Chesapeake Bay and its tribu
taries belongs to the State and all Of
the people of the State. The people
who live along the water bearing oysters
have no more right to the ownership of
the oyster beds, than the people of
Western Maryland or any other part of
the State.
1t is therefore, the duty of the State
to protect and develop its growth for
the benefit of the State, and all of the
people. Originally the oysters were very
numerous and it was probably thought
that the supply was inexhaustible, but
some years ago it was found that the
oyster supply was rapidly diminishing.
The State then established at a great
expense an oyster navy to protect the
oysters. But this was found inadequate
as the supply continued to grow less and
less yearly.
The State adopted the Gull law which
prohibited the taking Of the young and
partly grown oysters, which was very
destructive and utterly wasteful This
law, if it had been obeyed, would have
protected the growth and increase of the
oyster supply. But the tongers and dredg-
ers Of the oyster counties violated the law
and disregarded it utterly. The State
then passed law requiring those who
took oysters, the tongers and the dredg-
ers, when they took boat load of oys-
tiers to market to take back a load of
shells and throw them back in the bay
and Its tributaries for the purpose of
propogating the oyster, so as to in
crease the young oysters The shells
are a prolific source of the supply of the
young oysters. This law was also
disregarded and violated. This is the
WY anu Onc mdnueI tHdI IHe lODxeTS
and dredgers of the oyster counties
have treated this means of protecting
this great source of wealth to the State.
Instead of culling out the young oysters
and throwing them back in the water.
they simply and recklessly destroyed
them and threw them away.
And instead of hauling back load
of shells and throwing them in the oys-
ter waters, from which young oysters
come, they would throw them on the
bank or on the roads. These facts can
be ascertained by inquiry of many reli
able people in any oyster county in the
State.
At this time the oyster supply has
greatly diminished-not only has the
supply diminished but the size and quail
ity have also deterioated. This has
been the cause, Notwithstanding the
State has MAINTAINED an oyster navy for
years at an enormous expense to protect
the oysters.
A few years ago the State passed
