More Population. but Not More
Power.


The extension Of the limits of
Baltimore City as proposed by the
bill of the Non-Partisan Greater
Baltimore Extension League will
give Baltimore City about $4,000
more population and thus prevent
the chief city of our State from
falling to tenth or twelfth place in
the Census of 1920. But more
population does not mean more
power. More power could come
only from increased representation
in the Legislature. Representation
in the Legislature is fixed by the
Constitution and can not be in
creased except by amendment OF
the Constitution. By Section 2 Of
Article III of the Constitution.
Baltimore City is divided into four
legislative districts and each dis
trict is given one Senator. By Sec
ton 4 of Article III each legislative
district is given the same number
of delegates as the largest Coun-
ties, and by the same section the
largest Counties, that is Counties
having a population of $4,000 OF
more, are given six. Baltimore City
will have four Senators, as it now
has, and no more, and twenty-four
members of the House Of Dele
gates, which it now has, and no
more, and the Counties will have
% Senators and n delegates, Just
as they now have. Does anybody
really fear that the City will domi-
nate the Senate with four Senators
out OF twenty-seven, or that the
City will dominate the House with
twenty-four members out of one
hundred and two? The City's rep
resentation cannot be increased.
either in the Legislature or in fife
Judiciary, except by an amend
ment OF the Constitution. The Con
stitution cannot be amended except
by an Act which passes the Legis-
lature by three-fifths vote in both
houses, and is then ratified by the
people, or by a Constitutional Con
vention; and in a Constitutional
Convention the City would have
the same representation which it
has in the Legislature. Neither can
the City's representation in a State
Convention of either party be in
creased without an Act of the
Legislature. Nor will the extern
sion OF the City's limits have any
effect on State elections. The
voters in the territory to be added
to the City viii be the same men
after they are brought within the
City as before and will vote the
same way in State elections, in the
City as they would if left out of
the City;

differences could be easily settled in fact the matter of
wages and hours offered by the company admittedly

the late strike in the shipyards where the closed shop
all that prevented speedy settlement failed just
as the telephone strike will fall and for the reason
That reason is that public sentiment against the holding
of any company business up just because condtons
