WORK OF 1922 LEGISLATURE.

WORK OF 1922 LEGISLATURE. Z.
The recent session of the Legisla-
ture will go down in history as very
expensive on despite the limitations
imposed by the budget.
Counting the Soldiers Bonus Bill,
which is to be submitted to q vote
of the people, the Legislature appro-
priated more than $45,000,000 to be
expenses in the next two years.
Governor Ritchie delivered his mes
sage in person at the opening of the
session and told Of party pledges and
the States finances. Practically all
these party pledges have been re.
deemed and the Governor feels CORE
spondingly happy, but he did not come
down into the Legislature halls as he
did two years ago and deliver a fare
well address.
Notwithstanding the many hard
fights in which the Governor had to
take hand, he has gotten out of the
Legislature practically all he set out
to get and much more than many of
the wise ones thought at the begin
ming that he could possibly get.
Many old-timers here express the
view that the Legislature of 1922 was
different from any of its predecessors,
but the difference was in appearance
only; and this difference in appear
ance has been growing through the
last three sessions, the reason being
the budget system. Because of the
budget system the vast army of
legislative employees has been cut
down, and now that appropriations
originate with the Governor there Is
no longer the logrolling lobby that
there used to be in the good old days.
From the beginning to the end of
the session the House was the center
of interest because in that body were
to be found the ablest fighters.
Democratic Floor Leader Stephen
w. Gambrill, of Howard county, Ju-
dietary Chairman William Purnell
Hall. of Baltimore city, and Delegate
Funkhouser, of Washington county,
were the three men around whom
tuS StOi LIS idSOu anu Iu0 DdltlcS III
the House were the most interesting
of the session.
Mr. Gambrill as floor leader was
a success, but it was not the flashing
Gambrill Of two years ago whose
spear knew no brother. It was no
longer "Gambrill the free lance" but
"Gambrill the regular party man"
fighting for the party organization
and the fulfillment Of party platform
pledges, and in so doing he was light
ing the battles Of Governor Ritchie
who practically wrote the party plat
form in the last campaign and put in
it pledges that almost caused an open
rebellion in one branch or the other.
In this session Hall was the free
lance and his boldness coupled with
his parliamentary skill brought him
to the front early in the session, so
that he exercised most powerful
influence.
For the first time In Legislative
session the drys put on their fighting
clothes and battled to the end, the
result being that they put their mark
on the race-track bill and on many
matters other than dry legislation.

Beaunot or 6o.uknot

Shady Sutherland has taken us 10 tasl,
over the way we spell the name Of
that young women's club. He says
the old way was Beaunot. while II
appears In The Herald Bowknot. We
told him he was too old to be mess
ing around girl clubs. and that the
young ladies' themselves spelled II
Bowknot.
Shady got the idea that they were
of the matrimonial market. therefore
the name OF the club should be Beau
not. But he Is mistaken. rs one OF
the members recently announced her
marriage. which took place about a
year ago. Some OF the other mem.
bers may be doing the same thing.

"A Delicate Subject

said he knew that, but wanted to

Then he asked IL we would fail to

might.
We have had many things sprung
