Maryland's share of the Federal road
appropriation of $I50.0OO. 900 to the
States win be $l.335. 900. or so of per
cent, it was said last Saturday by John
NJ Mrckall. chairman of the State Roads
Commission.
The money viii be received by the State
over period of two consecutive years.
The first installment. covering the period
from June so. 1925. to June 80. 1925.
will be one-half Of Maryland's share. or
1867 500. and is the same amount as
that received by the State last year. Mr.
Mackall said
Commenting on the appropriation. Gov
Richie said he was opposed to Federal
subsidies to the States, but II subsidies
were to be given by Congress he wanted
Maryland to get her share
He said he felt it no more than right
inasmmuch as Maryland is taxed along
with the other States to make the subsi-
dies possible.
Il think Mr.. Mackall agrees with me
about this matter" the Governor said.
Mr.. Maekall explained that Marylandis
share would be apportionej among the
various counties Of the State according to
the road mileage in each.
Appropriation Of the money was made
certain Friday. when the Senate passed
the bill already sanctioned by the House
Representatives. Senator David A. Reed.
Of Pennsylvania. offered bill which would
have reduced the total amount for the two
years 10 $4,000. This bill was defeated.

Not A HorseIess Age.

The enormous multiplication Of motor
vehicles Of all kinds has inclined many to
think that ''horseIess age" has come. or
at least is Immediately impending: and
this notion has just been encouraged by
the announcement that one Of the largest
manufacturing corporations in the land is
disseminating the making Of horseshOes.
once an important part Of its business.
In this idea. however. the census dis
closes fallacy. The fact is that with all
the automobiles and motor trucks and
tractors now in use. there are more horses
and mules on the farms of this country
than ever before. The last census dec
ade-l9i0-l920-saw a slight decrease
a small fraction Of ! per cent-in the num-
Der Of horses. but the same years also saw
a substantial incTease-more than % per
cent-in the number Of mules. so that the
number Of both was greater by more than
per cent in 1920 than in 1910.
These figures refer entirely to the farms.
on the farms the number Of horses very
considerably decreased. by more than As
per cent Yet even there the number Of
mules increased by 40 per cent. Finally.
the total number Of horses and mules. both
on and not on farms. decreased in those
ten years by only about one-tenth Of per
cent And that in the face Of the impres.
aive fact that in fQ20 there were IN the
farms Of the country alone no fewer than
2.531.814 motor vehicles Of various kinds.
We call that an impressive fact. and it is,
yet it is even more significant that fof
every one of those motors there are on
the farms ten horses or mules.
This. then, is not horseless age. nor is
such an age likely to occur within the
measurable future.

States Rights.

Article X of the United States Constitu-

Our present Governor of Maryland is
exerting every effort to check the en-

historical facts and the above quoted
Article X.
States Rights were an issue before the
American Revolution. They dominated
the Constitutional Convention of 1897.
and formed a part Of the Civil War trouble.
The "War Between the States" decided
ihat full State sovereignty did not exist.
but il did not abolish the rights Of the States.
which they withheld from the Federal
Government.
