NEW Jaw DEPARTMENT
PROVES REAL ECONOMY
Report Made BY Attorney Gen
eral Ritchie Shows States
Legal Work Costs Less
CONTAINS INFORMATION

The annual report of the state legal
department has been submitted to Gov
ernor Harrington, and besides re-
sumo of the numerous opinions hand
ed down by Attorney General Albert C.
Ritchie. contains recommendations for
prospective legislation. a schedule
showing that the cost of operating the
department for the year 1917 was prac-
tically one-third that of the preceding
year. In this respect Mr.. Ritchie re-
ports:
The total cost Of the states legal
work under the Department of Law
for the fiscal year ended September so,
1917, exclusive of the cost of equiqping
the offices of the state Law Depart
ment, which is, of course, a capital
charge. and less appearance fees col
lected by me, all of which were paid to
the state, was $21.573.77.
THE total cost of the states legal
work during each of the two preceding
fiscal years before special counsel TO
state boards and commissions were
abolished, as far as that cost is ascer-
tainable was at least $4,000.
las the counsel to the Public SeFv-
ice Commission have not been abolish
ed, the compensation paid them is ex-
cluded from the above figures. The
comparison shows that the states legal
work has cost the state S11,426.23 less
under the Department of Law than un-
der the old system"
Mr.. Ritchie, in his report, makes
valuable suggestion as to relief from
the jamming of the legislature with
bills from various state departments
He suggests the enactment of law re-
quiring each department of the state
TO report TO the Governor in writing
not later than the 18th of each No
vember preceding the meeting OF the
legislature exactly what legislation 1t
desires for the better and more eff
cient prosecution of its work. which
reports will be promptly turned over
TO the Attorney General, who will
make such recommendations TO the
Governor as he sees fit and, at the lat
ter's direction, draft the necessary
bills.
The report gives in detail the mass
OF business. official opinions, ETC., that
have passed through the Law Dejart-
ment for the year in handy and read

PLANS TO EXEMPT
ALL MARRIED MEN
Secretary Baker Seeking To Es-
tablish Automatic Exemp-
tions" Under New Law
TO TAKE NEWSPAPER MEN

Secretary Baker is seeking to estab-
lish automatic exemption" under the
new draft law. BY this. Baker ex-
plains, he purposes that each case shall
decide itself, instead of being decided
on claim for exemption filed by the
registrant.
Il am hoping to work out some way
whereby the government will say
whether a man should be exempt or
not" said Baker Il wish to save men
the embarrassment of having to claim
exemption. Many who ought to be ex-
empt feel badly about doing this. If it
is feasible. hope to have the new reg
ulations take care of this, so that each
case will be decided by rule without
the filing of an exemption claim, and
on plain statement of facts"
This rule, for instance, Baker indi-
Gated, would work out in respect to the
newspaper business, which. he said, is
obviously an essential industry TO
the success of the war.
But some newspaper men are not
essential, Baker holds, and will not be
exempted on the ground that they are
engaged in essential work. He illus
trated by citing conditions in Cleve-
land o., his home city.
I'm Cleveland" said Baker, there
are some newspaper men over the
draft ages who doubtless can do the
work younger men now are doing. If
enough of these older men can be
found. the younger men, though val
liable, will not be essential. and hence
not exempted.
Married men probably would be in
cluded among the automatic exempt
IONS" according to prevailing opinion
around the War Department. Spurred
by patriotism many married men un-
der As would refuse to claim exempt
ion and would be taken for the army
when they should be with their fami-
lies Draft officials have steadfastly
hesitated to interrupt the life of the
nation as long as single men could be
found. This position, however, would
not prevent taking of married men
whose families had separate and per-
manent incomes sufficient to keep
them Draft officials have distinguish
ed between dependents who gould live
from their incomes without working
nd wives who would be forced to work

TO HAVE CRAB FEAST
MINUS TRIMMINGS"
Severn Boat Club To Hold Annual
Get-tOgether Party NOtwith-
standing Dryness OF Town

Members OF the Severn Boat Club
realize, along with other persons in the
old town, that the Annapolis of today
is not the Annapolis of one year ago.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels did it,
but the realization was driven home to
the Severn Oarsmen's organization,
rather forcibly when a meeting was
held this week to plan for the annual
crab feast and ''get together party.
True, crabs are bit scarce this year
but the real difficulty is going to be
over the absence from town of the
supply of real amber liquid used here
tofore at the Severn Club feasts to
wash down the crabs. However, the
oarsmen are good sports and clean
losers so they are going ahead with
their feast and will hold it at the Club
House. foot of Gloucester street on the
night of Thursday, August 22nd.
