Nd. General Assembly Gets
Underway For 1851 Session

The 1851 session of the Mary
land General Assembly gets under
way We'd, January 3. With a
Republican Governor coming in on
January 10th and a Democratic
Senate and House of Delegates
the paramount immediate interest
is the organization of the Senate
and House of Delegates. For sew
eral weeks Democratic leaders
have made an effort to resolve diff
ferences and it is likely that when
Democratic members of the two
bodies caucus selections will have
been made without evidence of
the fight which has been waging.
The Senate presidency went to
Senator George w. Della of Balti-
more's Sixth District and Speaker
of the House went to John C..
Luber of the Baltimore Fifth Dis
trict. The principal contestants
for Senate presidency have been
Senator Della and Senator John
Grayson Turnbull of Baltimore
County. Howard County's Senator,
C. Ferdinand Sybert, was also
mentioned as a contender and a
possible compromise selection. 1t
will be recalled that Senator Sy-
bert became Speaker of the House
Of Delegates four years ago on the
same basis.
The organization of the Assem-
bly, will be completed today and it
will be followed by the naming of
the various committees and the in
PRODUCTION of bills already pre-
pared. Bills prepared for intro
duction include SO from the Legis-
lative Council. Among the bills
are the most important problems
facing the session. The bills car
rying Council approval include re-
organization of the States tax
structure wherein the effort has
been made to eliminate inequities
in our field of taxation; reorgan-
ization of the State Health De-
partment; a number of revisions
relating to court procedures; a
plan for the election of delegates
to, and operation of the Consti-
tutional Convention which was
favorably voted by the people last
November; repeal of the so-called
Bouse Act which would make the
carrying of concealed weapons a
felony; new law providing for
the payment of sick benefits to
employees modelled along the lines
of unemployment compensation;
the setting up of a State authority
making it possible for communities
to install water and sewerage sys-
TENS through borrowing money
from the State authority when the
local assessable basis will not suf-
fee, and a number of other prob
lens some of which will prove

will probably be enacted into law.
One of the outstanding recon-
mendations of the so-called Case
Commission on taxation is the pro-
posal to collect taxes from truck
users of our highways. This pro-
posal would require trucks in ex-
cess of a given weight to pay taxes
to the State of Maryland based on
the number of ton miles over
which our roads are travelled. Pro-
ponents of this measure estimate
that it will bring in several mil
lions of dollars to the State of
Maryland for maintenance of our
highways. the greatest wear on
which is caused by heavy trucks,
1t is anticipated that this pro-
posal will face a bitter fight be-
cause of the powerful truck in
terests.
