MR.. TAYLOR'S WITHDRAWAL

Elsewhere in the WING Mr.. Will
liam E. Taylor, of the First District,
announces his withdrawal from the
contest for County Commissioner on
the ground that he believes the spirit,
even Il rot the letter, of the County
Commissioner Law calls for the
nomination of the County Commits
sioners from the Second and Third
Commissioner District, inasmuch as
the First Commissioners District,
comprising the First, Second and
Third Election Districts) will be rep
resented on the Board by Mr.. j. Frank
Blake, whose term lasts for two more
years, and who is resident of the
First Commissioners District.
We have heretofore expressed our
belief that such is the spirit and intent
of the law ard we think Mr.. Taylor
shows the proper spirit in the action
he has taken; and it certainly will not
hurt him in his candidacy for Sheriff.

COSTS TO BE A CANDIDATE

Some months ago we published an
editorial, "Only The Rich Need APP
ply" wherein We pointed out the fact
that under present political conditions
in this State no man but rich man
can afford to be a candidate for such
Statewide offices as Governor, U. S.
Senator, etc. In support of our con-
tention We are publishing an article
this week entitled costs To Be Can
didate," which states the case more
fully than did our editorial. 1t GER
tainly seems that there ought some
way to be devised by which the door
of political opportunity should not be
shut to every man but rich man.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

Elsewhere in this issue viii! be
found IN fun the Constitutional
amendments which are to be voted
on at the November election.
BY all ODDS the most important OF
these Amendments is the one entitled
Local Legislation popularity refer
red to as the Home Rule Amendment.
1t Is safe to say that there is gen.
eral agreement on the part OF every
body who has studied our State at
fairs that the Amendment ought to be
approved by the people and thus re-
!leVe our Legislature of much of the
trivial matter which not only con-
sumes its time and burdens its rec
ord, but which subjects its members
to all sorts of reprehensible dickers.
The Laws of Maryland for 1914 is a
volume of almost 1900 pages and a
very large part of that mass of legis-
lation is concerned with the most tri-
via! local matterS-matterS which
might better be left for settlement
to each local community. The pro-
posed Constitutional Amendment is
intended to cure ali that. 1t mas been
long considered and most carefully
drawn. 1t should receive the vote of
every citizen who desires the improve
ment of governmental machinery.
The first Amendment on the printed
list is one changing Article XIV of the
Bill of Rights relating to taxation. AS
our Constitution now stands all pro-
perty is equally subject to a given tax
rate. BY the proposed Amendment
property could be classified accord
ing to the benefit Tor supposed bene-
fit) which it derives from the State;
that is, it would permit the division of
property for taxation purposes ac-
cording to some theory of benefit re-
ceived. This, in our judgment, would
open the way to many possible ills
and even for gross possible injustice.
Such ills and such injustice might rot
arise. But they might arise. The way
would be open therefor. And we be-
lieve we are much safer to rest under
cur present Constitutional protection
against any such possibilities.
This Amendment We believe should
be defeated, lest in attempting to es-
cape the ills We have we fly to others
that We wot rot of. The other two
proposed Amendments deal with the
Referendum and the "Indetermin-
ate Sentence" We shall have to take
another occasion for their discussion.
We only now ask our readers to re-
member that these Amendments are
submitted for the PEOPLES approval
or rejection, and it is the business of
good citizens to study them and vote
on them. Some of them vitality affect
the government under which we and
our children are to live.

To Welcome Wilmingtonians

Mayor w. Don Price, of Elkton, has
forwarded letter to the Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce, stating that
the town officials and representative
business men would welcome their
automobile excursion upon its arrival

the belief that these visits of Will
