Pro-Churter

Under the home-rule amendment
to Maryland's Constitution, county
voters can adopt charter provid-
ing for an elective legislative body
known as a county council.
The amendment vests the coun-
Gil with power to enact local laws
for the county. The amendment
also vests the council with all pow
ers now given the County Commits
sioners by State laws. These are
the executive or administrative
powers.
As the Baltimore Sun said edi-
torially last Friday, the proposed
Montgomery County charter "takes
the responsibility for county legis-
lation and county affairs definitely
out Of the hands of the General
Assembly and places it where ii
should be-in Montgomery County
Council Has Power.
The charter does not provide for
an elective chief executive officer
SIMILAR to a mayor. Under it, the
council will have all executive
power and employ a county man
ager to execute the laws and run
the business affairs of the country.
This "council-manager" form of
government is used in about SIS
municipalities and suburban coun-
ties. It's effectiveness in providing
greater service, lower taxes, and
business-like nonpolitical ad-
ministration has been demon
strated. 1t is not popular with
politicians or their beneficiaries.
Cloaking their objections In legal
terms, they cite the separation OF
powers clause in the Bill of Rights
to Maryland's Constitution as max
ing unconstitutional charter pro-
viding for council vested with both
legislative and executive powers
Cites Home Rule Amendment.
Since in this respect the charter
merely follows the provisions of the
home e-rule amendment to Mary
lands Constitution, the objection
amounts to an assertion that a por-
tion of the Constitution is unconsti-
tutional. That is absurd.
Ten Montgomery County mundci-
palities, such as Chevy Chase Sec
ton 2, are run by citizens commit
tees" in which are combined legis-
lative sand executive functions
Greenbelt, Md, has a council and a
manager appointed by it as 1.-The
chief executive officer" Their con-
stitutional validity has never even
been questioned.

IAnti-Churter

The home rule which is provided
for in the proposed charter is far
from being an improvement over
the legislative procedure now avail
able to the citizens of this county.
since 1t creates many dangerous
forms of legislative procedure.
The checks and balances provided
for in the Bill of Rights of the State
Constitution are wholly and COM
pletely destroyed by merging the
Legislative, executive and adminis-
trative powers in the same body
The Governors veto is eliminated
and no effective veto is substituted.
There is complete lack of any
requirement for advanced publica-
ton of pending bills.
Dangers Alleged.
There is no requirement for pub
lie hearings on pending legislation
and any law may be enacted with
out advance public notice by any
five of nine county council mem
bers who might be present and
who would all vote for the bill at
any legislative session.
All of these dangers are now
safe-guarded in the existing legis-
lative procedure.
These new charter-created risks
to the best interests of the people of
the county are not justified in the
name Of increased home rule be-
cause no proposed law, reform or
service Of government has been
lost to the people of Montgomery
County for the last 30 years through
lack of complete home rule for
Montgomery County.
Quadrennial Elections.
Now every 4 years the State SEN
ator and six members of the House
of Delegates are elected by all the
county voters and for the past 30
years have maintained a record of
securing the passage of the county
legislative program they supported
without interference from any of
the representatives of the other %
counties or Baltimore City.
This means a reasonable legisla-
tive program supported by the
county delegation will always be
enacted, which is legislative home
rule. Yet the people of the county
continue protected from unusual ex-
perimental and vicious proposals
through both the Governors veto
and the general conservative good
sense of the entire assembly.

ing that when they were no longer together, their
influence would cease.
But the plotting continued. and she decided on
bold course. All her portable wealth she put
in a ship, ready to Sau at moments notice.
She then sent agents to assaSsinate the three ex-
lies. II any of them escaped she would flee
the country Her three enemies, however, were
all executed SO she stayed at home.
4 AFTER on, however. the relatives of the three
- slain men seized her, kept her under guard, and
in the course of time killed her.
This story is convincing. What could be more
reasonable than that Amalasunthas death was
caused by those who wished vengeance for the
killing of the three conspirators? But in the
Anecdotes Procopius says he withheld the truth
through fear OF the Empress.
Amalasuntha owed her death, not TO a blood
feud. but to the jealousy of Theodore, who feared
that the Queen Of the Goths might come to By
zantium where Justinian would certainly make
her acquaintance and since she was fascinating
person. he might fall in love with her. and since
she Goth, he might argue that an alliance
with her would guarantee peace between the
Romans and their powerful neighbors
Theodore Procopius reminds u.s. never took
any chances. She bIibed Justinian's
bassador to contrive the murder of Amalasuntha,
and later she rewarded the individual assassins
with special favors.
After such bloody incidents il was anti-climax
for Procopius to tel posteriy how Theodore stole
from the public treasury Her thirst for gold
was Unsuitable. he says and she liked to have
friendly people in high office who would invent
ways of supplementng whatever income she
Empress was supposed to have.
Her great opportunity came when Justinian
needed a new tax-collector, and she nominated,
and by various forms of argument succeeded in
appointing a fellow named Peter, whose acquaint-
ance she had made privately, we are not told
exactly how.
Peters avowed profession was money-chang-
ing. He sat in the market place at small table
and changed one currency into another, as the
