and called the tenth General Assembly
to order at Saint Inegoes during
Christmas week. This apparently was
the first Assembly to be made up of
two houses.
In the spring of 1850, under Gov
ernor William Stone, the General AS
sembly was reorganized. The Upper
House included the Governor, the
Secretary and one or more Of the
Governors Council. The Lower House
consisted of fourteen Burgesses rep
resenting the freemen Of the various
hundreds in the province. Anne Arun-
del joined Saint Mary's and Kent as
the third county in Maryland.
About this time the Puritans moved
into the political picture, took over
the Government and moved it's seat to
Annapolis. Claiborne reappeared on
the scene. For the next two sessions
there were no delegates from Saint
Mary's, largely because Of the I'M
favorable laws so promptly passed.
In 1868 Lord Baltimore regained
his province and the usual legislative
battles began their uninterrupted
flow toward the Revolutionary period
when the General Assembly melted
into emergency bodies. Robert Eden
was the presiding Governor at that
time, popular but very effective. The
powers of freemen were on the in
crease.
In June, 1774, the first of eight pro-
vincial conventions met. Between their
frequent sessions the Council of Safe
ty carried on the authority. Less than
six weeks after the Declaration of
independence, ON August IA, 1776,
the new Maryland State Legislature
was organized. 1t was still called the
General Assembly and it's two houses
were thereafter to be known as the
Senate and the House Of Delegates.
The latter consisted of four dele
gates from each of the sixteen coun-
ties with an extra eight from Freder-
lex county which at that time was
divided into three districts. Annap-
oils City and Baltimore Town each
sent two delegates. This General AS
sembly elected the Governor and his
five-man Council. 1t is significant that
in those early State Legislatures the
Governors were not allowed the right
to vote. This setup continued for about
sixty years, when in 1886 the election
laws were reformed.
County delegates were elected ac-
cOrding to county population with
Baltimore City delegates equal in
number to the largest county dele
cation. One Senator was elected pop
ularly from each county and one from
Baltimore-twenty-one in all. The
Governor was also elected by the peo-
pie for the first time.
The Legislature meeting at Annap-
oils this week is an outgrowth Of this
setup. Baltimore City is now divided
into six Legislative Districts, each
electing one State Senator as do each
of the 20 counties, making 20 Sena-
tors presided over by the Honorable
Arthur H. Brice of Kent county. Bal
timore sends six delegates from each
Negative District and the other "a
delegates are divided among the 20
counties. The Honorable Thomas F.
Conlon of Baltimore's Fifth District
is Speaker Of the House.
Cigars have replaced the long
stemmed pipes and loud neckties the
lace, but the tempers of the legislators
have not changed one whit in 300
years. On with the circus

Paragraph Opinions
Ma Perkins and Strikes

Mrs. Frances Perkins, secretary Of
Labor, has stated that the right of
workers to strike should not be abridg-
ed by the national defense production
program.
1t is our belief that in working for
national defense a striker is somewhat
Of a traitor to bis-country.
Labor must'realize that a strike now
is different than a strike year or so
back. Recent strikes closed an airplane
plant which was producing training
ships for the army that were vitality
needed. That strike was a threat to
national unity.
How about the recruits in the draft
who are undergoing military training
for one dollar a day? Can they strike
if they don't like the wages? Or some
of the army regulations?
Any just grievance labor has can be
settled by arbitration. But in the
meantime laborers should be COM
PEELED to continue to work.
