Seven years after the Consti-

LEGISLATURE OF 1914.

OESC VI AcA1s
By Chapter SO, the limits of
Frederick City were extended
and people in the annexed terri
tory subjected to a city tax rate;
by Chapter 257. the limits Of
Hagerstown were extended, and
the people of the annexed area
subjected to the full city rate
gradually, that is: one-tenth of
the full rate each year until they
become subject to the full rate
the tenth year; by Chapter 155
the limits of Annapolis were ex-
tended, and the people in the
new territory subjected to the
city rate of IS cents in addition
to the county rate; by Chapter
63 Oakland was given the power
to extend its own limits, when
ever it thought proper, by ordin-
ance, and to subject the people
thus brought in to the city rate
of 70 cents in addition to the
county rate; by Chapter 116, the
limits of Kensington were ex-
tended, and the people in the
new territory subjected to the

LEGISLATURE OF 1916.
By Chapter 249 extended the
limits of Queenstown; by Chap
ter 266 extended the limits of
Bladensburg; by Chapter 615 ex-

tisement inserted October 10Th
in all the daily papers of Balti-
more, at a cost of more than a
thousand dollars, stated:
The Annex Of 1888 has been
a heavy burden on the old
city. And, in a headline, refer
red to THE CITY TAXPAYERS
STILL GROANING UNDER THE
BURDEN OF SUPPORTING THE
ANNEX OF 1888, WHICH HAS COST
THE CITY SIS, 900, 900 MORE THAN
IT HAS PAID IN"
This statement is rather wild
like other statements emanating
from that Committee, but it is a
fact that the terms of the Act of
1888 were unfair to the city, and
that the city, has had to spend
more money in the Annex than
it has collected in taxes from
the Annex.
The fair thing is for the new
territory to pay for benefit re-
ceived. The city ought not to
make any profit from taxing the
new territory, and the new ter
ritory ought not to get conven-
fences and benefits at a loss or
expense to the old city.
The experience of every city in
the State proves that you cannot
have city conveniences for coun-
ty taxes, that you must pay
some additional taxes for city
benefits; and the experience with
the Acts of 1874 1888 poves that
you cannot have annexation on
fair terms if you make it condi.
tional upon q referendum to the
people in the territory to be an
nexed. Y ou cannot expect q
fair decision of any question if
you give to one Of the parties in
terested the power to decide it.
The only way to get fair annex
alton is to let the legislature de-
eide the terms. This is what
the State has done for every
other city in the State: why
should it not do the same thing
for Baltimore?
HAS BEEN DONE FOR BALTIMORE.
In the history of Baltimore,
the Legislature has ten times ex-
tended it's limits without a refer
endum, the last being by Act
of 1916, Chapter 2O9. Referr-
ing to this Act, the SUN Alma
mac of 1900 says:
Sixteen thousand or seven
teen thousand inhabitants
were added to the population
by Act of the Legislature
and against the protest of
large majority of the people
of both the city and the
county"
The Act of 1916 not only ex-
tended the limits of the city
without any referendum either
to the city or to the people in
the territory to be annexed, but
made a great extension. 1t ex-
tended the limits to North Ave.
on the north, the present eastern
and southern limits on the east
and south, and what is now Pay
son street on the west, taking in
thousands of acres of forests and
farm lands. It annexed territory
ten times as large as the territory
IN the old city limits.

should the people of Maryland
in 1917 be less proud of their

it's future, than the Legislature
of 1916? 1t will take less faith

City conveniencies cannot be
furnished for county taxes by
Baltimore any more than by
Frederick, Hagerstown, Cumber-
land, Cambridge, Salisbury, An
napolis, or any other city. In
every city people pay more than
county taxes for city convenience
es. The combined city and
county tax in some of the prin-
cipal cities is as follows: Annapo-
lis $1-93; Cambridge $1.85; Ches-
tertown $1.94; Cumberland s2.27;
Easton $1.84; Frederick S2.15;
Hagerstown $1.76; Laurel $2.34;
Oakland $1.98; Ocean City $3.50;
Rockville $2.42; Salisbury $1.98.
The rate in Baltimore is$ 1.9S.

veniences means that the people

voted against the extension.
Thus the extension which the
Court of Appeals said was "ab-
soluteEy necessary" for the
growth and. development of the
city was set back for fourteen
years.
In 1883 the Legislature made
another effort to extend the city
limits. In the effort to get some
extension, they provided for a
referendum in three sections.
The eastern section, which was
the most densely populated and
which was most needed the pro-
lection of the city police, health
department, fire department,
etc., voted to stay out, hence the
extension obtained was not SYM
metrical. Moreover, in order to
get even a part Of the surround
ing territory TO vote to come in,
terms were put in the Bill which
were unfair to the people in the
old city limits.

Count Romanones is accounted by
men who are in touch with the eX-
traOrdinarily tangled Spanish politics
as the most powerful individual in
Spanish politics today. He is in his
early fiftieS. He entered politics when
he was thirty-twO years old, and since
then has been member of seven gov

held office because even his political
opponents conceded that he was the
one man who could handle the embar-
RAISING situation of the moment. His
return to power is confidently pre-
dicted by his friends.
ROmanOnes is not of great stature,
but cOmpactly built, and evidently a
man of great physical strength. Al

greatest families, he is extraordinarily
