have TO be held every second year,

this amendment. AT least it shows
that the arguments against it must
be convincing.
The saving To the taxpayers
however. is secondary to the say
ing Of the economic waste which q
years elections always cause. The
people are called upon for personal
contributions to campaigns; the
excitement, the controversies, tho
prejudices. the cnmities of cam.
paigns divert the minds and the
time OF the people from their bust
ness and personal affairs and iron
their civic duties; they disrupt
friendships and good will; they
promote factionalism in politics
which all too often extends into
business. Would it not be a fine
thing to know that every other
year there would be none of all
thIs-that every other year the
time and the worry and the money
now devoted to political cam
paigns. often wasted on them
could be devoted to more profitable
and more productive work This
would represent saving which
could not be measured in dollars.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

Aside from the interest which
an election for United States
Senator and several congressman
always holds for the electorate,
Maryland voters next month will
be called on to decide the fate OF
several amendments to the State
Constitution which are of vital
Importance. The full texts OF
these proposed amcndments-hve
in all - have been printed from
time to time i'll this and other
publications, and it naturally is
assumed that the voters have
given serious thought to them.
Last week we stated our posi-
ton in respect to the proposed
amendments relating to the redis-
tricting of Baltimore City and
regulating the representation OF
the city i'll the legislature or. as
they have been more generally
termed, Increased Representa-
ton" In that article, we stated
that we are opposed to this prop
oSition. and set forth our reasons
therefor.
The constitutional amendment
changing the terms OF the State
Comptroller and Treasurer from
two to four years. and the pro-
posed amendment providing that
words or phrases used in creating
public offices and positions shall
be construed to include the FEM
mime gender. which means the
removal of political disqualified
ton from women, are both con-
structivc amendments designed
to meet existing conditions, and
as such they deserve full support
at the polls.
The amendment providing for
fewer elections, although a some
what radical change in the cleo
ton procedure in this State, also
is one that should meet with the
approval of the voters. This
amendment provides that all
State and county officials. except
judges. shall be elected every
fourth year for terms of four
years, and, if it is approved. will
effect big saving to the taxpay-
ers. In fact, il has been cstimat-
ed that the adoption OF this
amendment will save the taxpav-
ers at least $3.50 900 annually. and
that the benefits to the State in
other ways will be equally great,
Governor Ritchic'S recent
statement in advocacy of the
Fewer Elections" amendment.
gives clear-cut view of this par
ticular proposal and we COM
mend IT to our readers. Said the
Governor:
The anendacat will save at
least SS50,000 annually TO the tax
payers OF the State. 1t will pro-
mote better legislation. and every
other year it VIII leave the people
of the State free to devote their
time and thought 10 business. per-
sonal and civic affairs. relieved OF
the expense, the diverting in
iluences and the general economic
waste such elections inevitably
cause.
"All possible objections which,
can be made to the amendment are
entirely overcome BY these distinct
and certain advantages.
The amendment provides, in
brief, that beginning from Novem-
Der, 1926, all State and county
elective officers. except Judges.
shall be elected by the people for
four-year terms and that elections

TO REPRESENT UNITED STATES
Government Accepts Invitation Te
Central American Conference.

MISUNDERSTANDING with the
Governments, the State Department
announced that the United States
would participate formally in the con-
ference on Central American affairs
which will meet here December to
discuss matters of mutual interest to
all six countries, including limitation
of ornaments.
Secretary Hughes and Sumner
Wells, former chief of the Latin-Amer-
lean division of the State Department.
have been appointed by President
Harding as American delegates to the
conference, now widened to six
power discussion of American affairs,
the governments represented being
Costa Rica, Salvador, Nicaragua,
Guatemala and Honduras.
Following is the text of the depart
ment's announcement:
"'All the countries of Central Amer,
lea have now accepted the invitation
of the United States Government to
the conference OH 1eHlTdl AHleTlCdL
affairs to be held, beginning Decem
ber 4. The United States Government
has been invited by the Central Amer
ican governments to participate in
the conference through duly appoint
ed delegates and the President has in
dicated his readiness to have the
United States Government SO repre-
sented, and has appointed the Secre
tary of State and Sumner Wells, for
mer chief of the Latin-American divi
sion of the State Department, as thu
representatives of the United States
"Mr Wells has been acting as com
missioner for the President in con
nection with the proceedings looking
to the withdrawal of the military gov
ernment in Santo Domingo, and thes'
duties will not be interfered with b.
his appointment as a delegate to th
conference on Central American al

GOVERNMENT FAILS
TO SEE KLAN EVIL"
Plan No Action Unless Federal
Laws Are Violated
FOR STATE ACTION
Reported Activities, However, Are Un-
der Constant Investigation, OFF,
cials Declare-State Powers
Ample.

Washington.-Federal action against
the Ku klux Klan through the law en-
forcement agencies of the Government
will not be undertaken unless the
Klan engages in some activity that
constitutes direct violation of Fed
eral laws. Alleged outrages ascribed
to Klan activities will not be taken
up by the Department of Justice, or
the Postoffice Department unless it is
shown that they constitute con-
spiracy against the United States. 9th
erwise Administration officials believe
that Klan activities are a matter for
State or municipal action.
The Department of Justice and the
Postoffice Department are each inves-
tigating reported Klan activities.
The Postoffice Department is keeping
rather close supervision of Klan mail
and the mail of known Klan officers.
This is admitted, but officials will not
state whether any activity has been
uncovered which would warrant in
reference of Federal authorities.
More than a year ago the Depart
ment of Justice, through the. Bureau
of Investigation, made an intensive
investigation of the Klan and it's re
ported activities. No action was
taken. Since then, it was said official
ly any number of complaints against
the Klan, most of them alleging or in
volving outrages against individuals
The complaints are made the subject
of routine inquiry.
Some of them have involved alleged
interstate activities where members
of the Klan were supposed to have
organized and gone across State line!
| to punish an individual. At the De
partment of Justice it was said tina
the State police powers were regarded
as ample to reach such cases with thu
aid of the eXtradition laws.
Postmaster General Work said tina
Klan mail was under the scrutiny o
the Postoffice Department, but that s.
was all other mail. He said the De
partment was interested in reporte,
activities of the Klan and admitte
that the scrutiny was rather close. II
said, however, that the Department
contemplated no part in any actio
against the Klan and expected to il
itiate none.

open door policy contained in the re-
cent American memorandum to the
Allied Powers, Mr.. Child declared 1t
to be the American conception that
universal adherence to that policy
would go far toward promoting world
peace. In so doing, the Ambassador
stated, it can be said on authority the
thought that has been uppermost in
the minds of Government officials here
in their approach to the Mesopotamia
oil question the adjustment of Far
Eastern problems, at the Washington
Conference and similar diplomatic ex
changes.
1t was largely that feeling which
dictated the reference by Secretary
Hughes in his memorandum to the
Allies on the Near Eastern crisis to
the tripartite agreement of 1920 as
typical of secret treaties and agree
ments prescribing zones of special
commercial and economic influence
which are held by the United States
to be not "consonant with the prin-
clpleS.
There can be no question that the
Washington government views the
present situation in the Near East
with its threat against world peace as
a natural outgrowth of the commercial
and economic rivalry among Eu'
ropean powers that has kept the
region in a ferment for years. The
American solution would be to dc
away entirely with special commercial
rights in Turkish territory.
The history of Near Eastern "set
Elements" holds slight hope, however
that such a result will flow immediate
ly from the Lausanne gathering. The
Washington government must there
fore be prepared to deal with the ques
tion to be raised later by whatever
special rights in Turkey any Power
may have under the peace treaty tina
is being negotiated.
