Progress in Purchase of Forest Land

d ROGRESS has been made in the
1 purchase Of forest land by the Ma
tional Forest Reservation commission,
created by congress in 1911. The
commission consists of the secretaries
Of war interior and agriculture. two
members Of the senate and two of the
house. 1t is authorized to purchase
lands that may be acquired under the
Weeks act, although its choice is re
stricted to such lands, determined by
the geological survey. as will be in
fiuential in promoting the navigabllity
of streams by protecting their head
waters. This has practically limited
purchases to rough lands in mountain
Gus areas.
The commission so far has confined
its work chiefly to the eastern states,
following the Appalachian mountains
from New Hampshire and Vermont
down into Georgia and the Carolinas.
The commission has purchased, or is

STATE
CAPITAL

Laws Need Many Changes.

LEWIS weed Many Nhanges.
Annapolis
So many matters are being urged
which will involve amendments to the
State Constitution that the question is
coming to the fore as t. whether the
most workmanlike way to tackle the
whole business will not be by Con.
stitutional convention which will re
shape the fundamental law of the
State.
One of the most pressing questions
of the day is greater representation
in the General Assembly for Balti.
more city.
Such increased representation would
require a Constitutional amendment.
The question of having the State
Comptroller elected once every four
years instead of every two is again
under discussion.
Changing the elections with regard
to the Comptroller would require a
Constitutional amendment. Any change
in the present manner Of electing the
State Treasurer by joint ballot of both
branches of the Legislature would re.
quire a Constitutional amendment.
II, as DR.. Goodnow suggests, the
Attorney General is to be appointed
by the Governor. rather than elected,
this would mean another amendment
to the Constitution.
The State is now working under tho
Constitution of 1867 plus such amend.
ments as have been added subsequent
to that date. That the Constitution OF
that year might not be a document
perpetually suitable is recognized by

suance to the mandate of the voters

would make such a gathering some
years still in the future. but the idea
is advanced that such a step will be
the most adequate way Of bringing
the States basic law in closer accord
