Will Next Legislature Remove The
Barriers?
This treatment OF Baltimore has not
had very good results. In 1880 Bal
timore was the fourth city In the
country, with a population of 1868;
In 1900 she passed Boston; in 1880
she passed Philadelphia, and in 1870
Baltimore was the second city in
the Union. with a population of 1922
3fS. against 1906 for Philadelphia;
Baltimore was still second In 1850,
with a population Of 169.054. Now
Baltimore is seventh. In 1910 Cleve-
land passed Baltimore by only 217s,
simply because the Legislature OF
Ohio had been broadminded enough
to extend the limits OF the city of
Cleveland and give 1t an area OF 81
square miles to Baltimore's 2S square
miles. Unless the Legislature OF 1918
passes the Greater Baltimore League
bill Baltimore will fall to tenth or
twelfth place in the census OF 1920.
That this will give Baltimore a black
eye, make 1t more difficult TO attract
people and industries to Baltimore
and thus prove detrimental TO the
interests of the entire State is plain.
IL is 90 be hoped. therefore, that the

gagged in manufacturing, and It has
the facilities which the County Com

for making known the advantages OF
the city and the port and inducing

business to come to the city.
All OF these are matters of city ad-
ministration and entirely foreign to
the administration by County Com
missioners such as is suited to a rural
community.
No Violation or The Home-Rule
Principle.
This does no violence to the prin-
ciple of home rule. The people in
this belt have never had separate
home rule. They have had a voice in
the selection of County Commission
ers by whom they have been gov
erned. After they become a part of
Baltimore city they will have a voice
in the selection of Mayor and City
Council by whom they wiIlsbe gov
erned. Their government will be
nearer to them then than 1t is now
in distance, I'm convenience of access
and in responsiveness to their needs.

traditional prejudice against Balti-

Highest Development OF States Chief
Asset.
The greatest single asset OF Mary
land is the city and harbor OF Balti-
more. The money value OF this asset
to the State is indicated by the fact
that the State collects more revenue
from the 80 square miles of Baltimore
city than from the 1880 square miles
of the State outside of Baltimore,
and the further fact that a large part
of the revenue which the state COL
lects outside OF Baltimore results
from increased property values due
TO proximity to Baltimore and other
cities Of the State.
The advantage OF the city to the
business OF the State is shown by
rhe fact that the resources OF banks
and trust companies in Baltimore
city amount TO $685.. 554, 712.10 as
against resources of $5S,312 6S2.25 for
all the banks and trust companies in
the State outside of Baltimore city.
How can the highest and best de-
velopment of this chief asset of the
State be realized? This question de-
mands considera ton from every man
who loves Maryland, whether he lives

Convention; and in a Constitutional
Convention the city would have the

JUDGE ATKINS
TIMELY TALK

One of the most interesting Timely
Talks Vet held was that of Tuesday
evening, when Judge W. G. Atkins
spoke to the ladies Of the Equal Suf-
fra2e League of this city on the sub
ject of the Progress of Legislation.
The speaker started way back in
the provincial days Of the Massachu-
sets Bay Colony and gave an alb
strict OF the laws then in force relat-
ing to persons and property. He also
reviewed the early laws of our own
State in 1920 and followed them down
to the present time, showing the prog
ress made, dwelling more especially
upon the laws regarding the rights of
women and Children
Among the earlier laws cited were
two especially drastic. one punished
profanity with death and the other ap-
piled the same penalty to witchcraft.
The Judge showed clearly that the
laws relating to the rights Of women
have been greatly changed even in late
years and within our own recollection.
so that today woman occupies almost
as high Il plane as man. He said
Away back in 100 there was enact
cd in England the following Law, but
! nave some doubt rs TO its enforce
ment: ANY female who shall By
means of rouge. or of perfumes, or Of
essences, or artificial teeth, or false
hair, or steel stays. or hoops. or high
hecled shoes or false hips. cntice any
of His Majesty's subject into marriage
shall be prosecuted for sorcery and
the marriage shall be declared void"
Judge Atkins then contrasted some
of tho present laws with the above
He cited a recent decision in tho state
of Kansas which showed that under
certain circumstances woman may be
the head of the family He reviewed
briefly the Australian Ballot law and
the Free Text Book bill. both Of which
were introduced by Hon. O. Is. Clason
of this city, while he was a member
of the Legislature. Then came brief
descriptions of the recently enacted
Primary law, the Workmen's Conpen-
sation Act. Teachers Pensions and
the pensioning Of mothers having de-
pendent children, the Charities and
Corrections, Feeble Minded legislation
and various laws relating to the pro-
lection Of children. The question of
equal suffrage was considered in his
closing remarks
