Following upon the suggestion of Mr..
Harrington for special committee to be
appointed, Mr. Baker, in later inter
view, accepts Mr.. Harrington's idea Of
a commission, and feels that the two
years gained on the proposition would be
Of inestimable value to the people.
Mr.. Lee could not be reached to get
his views on the situation, and Mayor
Preston, of Baltimore, took decided
stand against a commission for the rea.
son that he thought the governor, attor-
ney-general and the state comptroller to
be elected this fall could be depended
upon to bring about the reforms that
were necessary.

Mr.. Harrington Backs up Mr..
Bakers Ideas on State Reforms.
and Suggests u Quicker Method
of Procedure
In view Of the rapidly growing senti-
ment for some retrenchment in the mat
ter of the expenditure of State money
and some sensible and conservative re-
form in the State governmental system
Comptroller Emmerson c. Harrington.
who sometime ago called attention to the
state finances. and the necessity of some
change therein, and who is also a candi-
date for gubernatorial nomination at the
primaries this fall, takes advantage of
the opportunity afforded him, and he
comes out very strongly with definite
suggestion along this line. As we state
elsewhere in this issue. Mr. Joseph D.
B. Baker of Frederick had a very strong
argument in favor of State reforms. and
gave birth to the idea that a commission
be formed to study the situation and
prepare an adequate remedy. This he
thought would be the duty of the next
Legislature. Mr.. Harrington however,
after expressing his satisfaltion with the
general plans of Mr. Baker believes it
would be better if such a commission
would get to work as soon as possible
and report to the next Legislature,
thereby saving at least two ears The
idea of Mr. Harrington was to have the
next State Convention name this COM
mittee. and it would have three months
in which to work before the next Legis-
lature convenes. The State Convention
meets on September 23rd, and from that
time on until the first of the year could
be devoted to formulating certain ideas
of retrenchment and reform. 1t is not
known just what power the State Con
vention would have along this line, but
it is quite certain that proper REIN
bursement and recognition would be
given to any such body that the Con
vention would name, and that the Leg
islature, no matter how formed polite
ally, would be bound to give proper
heed to its recommendations
In part Mr.. Harrington said:
Il have read Mr. Joseph D. Baker 5
interview concerning the abolition of
useless offices and general retrenchment
of the State finances and not only
agree with what he said, but have in
mind a general plan which | believe to
be better than his in that it would bring
results more quickly.
My plan to me seems simple and
feasible and one that can be easily
worked out. 1t is for the Democratic
State Convention, composed of duly
elected representatives of the people, to
provide for the appointment of COM
mission to study the subject from every
viewpoint and be prepared to make its
report to the Legislature at the very be-
ginning of the session. This commits
sion shall also submit bills carrying out
the different and various features of its
report.
"By this plan the time between the
State convention and the convening of
the Legislature could be well utilized
and much of the preliminary work car
ried out. Public attention would be
focused on the work of the commission
and public sentiment so aroused as to
greatly aid the committee in its work. |
was pleased to read Mr. Baker inter
view and hope that he will see the ad-
vantages of my suggestions.

from foreign nations and operate them
governmentally in an effort to build
up domestic merchant marine. This
scheme won't do unless the govern
ment expects to take over the entire
freight carrying business of the coun-

be to abandon the idea of building
battleships and build freight-carrying
steamers instead. selling them to
American owners to ply from Ameli-
