MARYLAND:
Outdoted Constitution
Needs Much Revision

Department Of Legislative
Reference.
The council. q group Of leg
islative leaders who study bills
and proposals between Assem-
bly, sessions, has directed DR..
Everstine to draw up for con-
sideration an omnibus bill rid
ding the Constitution Of its
obviously outmoded passages.
It is presumed that DR..
Everstine will confine his
streamlining to the rion-con-
troversial sections. Other
wise, his proposal is not likely
to win approval of either the
Council or the full Legislature.
II 1t gets that far, it will then
go on the ballot for approval
by Maryland voters.
The Constitution itself pro-
vides that every 20 years the
General Assembly shall take
''the sense of the people" in
regard to another convention
to rewrite the instrument.
Voters Ignored
The sense" was taken most
recently in the 1850 election,
when 200,439 voted for con-
vention and 56,998 against.
The Legislature the next year
declined to call a convention.
however. arguing that, al
though a majority of those
voting on the question favored
a convention, 1t was not a
majority of the some 550.OO0
who went to the polls that
day.
Every Legislature since then
has been asked again to call
the convention, but the answer
has remained negative. OPP
position Is effectively led by
Senators and delegates from
the small counties, who fear
that a new constitution might
reapportion the seats in the
Legislature, now weighted
heavily in their favor. (The
two delegates from Calvert
County-just as an example
represent about 1000 people
apiece. while the IL delegates
from Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties each repre-
sent almost $4,000 persons
AS long as the small coun-
ties hold the balance of power
in Annapolis, an omnibus
amendment such as that pro-
posed by DR.. Everstine would
seem to be the only practical
means of bringing Maryland's
constitution up to date.
Evening star., 1955-05-22
MARYLAND:
By GENE GOODWIN

You do not have to have a
law degree to read Maryland's
constitution and learn how
much 1t needs an overhaul.
Its inconsistencies and an
tiquities are obvious even to
the layman.
It restricts the voting privi-
lege. for example, to white,
male citizens over 81 (Arti-
Gle l. Section u. The Federal
Constitution. of course, has
nullified that restriction, but
Maryland has never taken
the offensive language out Of
It's constitution.
Anti-Dud Provision
The Maryland document
also denies the privilege Of
public office. in Article 8,
Section Il. to "any citizen of
this State who shall after the
adoption of this constitution.
either in. or out Of this State,
fight a duel with deadly
weapons, or send. or accept
a challenge so to do, or who
shall act as a second. or know
ingly aid or assist in any
manner. :"
Article 7, Section 6 provides
for the election every two
years of a wreck master" in
Worcester County. 1t doesn't
define the duties of this posi-
ton, but it is presumed that
it would have something to do
with salvaging wrecked ships
in the Atlantic off Worcester's
coast. In any event, Worces-
ter found good many years
back that it could get along
without one.
Chief Judge Frederick w.
Bruno of the Maryland Court
Of Appeals should receive an

VIRGINIA.:
By ALEX r. PRESTON

Within the last 10 days Vir-
ginians have been treated to q
couple Of rare spectacles.
First, the State Milk Com
mission, one Of several power
full agencies whose regulations
have the force Of law, declined
to extend its price-fiying pow
ers into an eight-county
Northern Virginia area.
This was only the second
time in It's 23-year history 1t
had turned down such o re-
quest from producers. In this
instance 1t said 1t found in
suficient evidence Of price
cutting.
Then, last week, news came
out Of Richmond that a group
Of milk producers had asked
the commission to mend its
ways, so to speak.
The dairymen offered sIg-
gestions which they said, I'VE
hope they'll follow for If
they don't they're on their
way out"
One Of those suggestions,
according to John Seibel Of
Roanoke, president of the
Evening star., 1955-05-22

State Dairymen's Association,
was to increase the difference
between prices on milk sold in
stores and that delivered to
doorsteps.
It seemed as though the
dairymen were, at least, see
ing the handwriting on the
wall.
Consumers have long won
dered why they have been
forced to pay such high prices
on milk bought in stores when
the stores, themselves, claim
ed they could still make a
profit by selling for less.
True to Form
Yet, there was another news
development that ran true to
form.
Gov. Stanley, like other
governors before him, turned
down a request to abolish the
commission or curtail its pow
ers A request to do away with
it entirely came last week
from Israel Steingold, Rich
mond attorney.
The commission is made up
of three members. One is a
producer, another is a dis
tributor and the third repre-
sents both interests.
There is no provision in the
law for a consumer represent
ative.
This state of affairs has re-
suited in such situations as
this: Safeway Stores and
Highs Ice Cream Co. have

DISTRICT:
By HECTOR MCLEAN

Thursdays House debate on
the District budget. which
saw affirmation of a 81 mil
Lion Appropriations Committee
cut in the Federal payment
to National Capital revenues,
produced several curious sur
prises.
One was the support given
the cut by Chairman McMil-
Ian of the House District Com
mittee, q South Carolina
Democrat who has been a
member Of the committee for
many years.
That was q surprise even to
Representative Rabaut, DEM
ocrat. of Michigan, chairman
of the Appropriations SUBJ
committee which handled the
city's budget. and sponsor of
the cut.
Most of his opposition came
from the District Committee
particularly from the
members of the Fiscal Affairs
Subcommittee which had the
chore of finding new taxes to
levy on District rate payers
last year.
Another switch was that of
Representative Passman, Dem
ocrat, Of Louisiana, a member
of Mr.. Rabaut's subcommittee.
Recently, he charged that the
Districts per capita tax bur-
den is only "a to 81 per cent
Of the average Of most Ameri-
can cities.
The Star nailed that as an
overstatement of about so per
cent. Although Mr.. Passman
called 1t "a very poor job Of
attempting to discredit my
statistics" he did not use his
statistics again. Nor did he
produce new statistics which
he had promised.
No 'HiehfoIutin' Statistics
Instead. he declared in the
House debate. Il am not 60
ing to use a lot Of highfalutin',
misleading statistics. rather I
shall be factual in comparing
the District tax program in
specific instances with that of
other cities"
Mr.. Passman went on to
demonstrate that several cities
have some taxes which are
higher than similar taxes in
