the total number of delegates
from 1913 to 148.
Ten delegates would be the
maximum number allowed in any
county or Baltimore City Legis-
lative District. Montgomery,

Counties. now represented by
the present legal maximum of
six delegates all would qualify
for the new maximum under the
Guide formula.
The Maryland House has not
been reapportioned since 1922,
when a Constitutional amend
ment provided that counties and
city districts would get the fol-
lowing number of delegates ac-
cording to their population: Less
than l8,000-2; $4,000 to $4,000
3, $4,000 to 10000: 10000
to 55.000-5; over 55.000-6.
A later amendment. approved
at the polls in 1850, froze the
membership Of the House at
1913. The Senate is composed of
one Senator from each county
and Baltimore City district. Mr..
Guides bill would not attempt
to alter the membership of the
Senate.

said the number of Baltimore

from SO to 48. These counties
would get more delegates: Mont

Baltimore, 6 TO 10; Anne Arun-

merset and Talbot. three to two.
The other counties would not
change.
The Park and Planning Com
mission estimates that the popu-
Ilation as of last January was
292. 900 in Montgomery and 323-
900 in Prince Georges. A 1860
population of $4,000 for Mont
gomery and 365.000 for Prince
Georges is forecast.
In the House as 1t is appor-
toned today, 10 counties with
only % per cent of the States
population can put together a
majority of SO of the 1913 votes
in the chamber. The nine coun-
ties of the Eastern Shore, with
only 8 per cent Of the States
population. have more than 20
per cent of the Delegates.
Another method Of reappor-
tioning the Legislature is through
"a constitutional convention to
rewrite the entire document. The
bill to call such convention has
been introduced in this session
by Delegate Sam Culotta. Re-
publican of Baltimore. The con-
Ivention delegates - in the I'M
likely event that the Culotta bill
should pass-would be chosen in
the same number and manner as
the House of Delegates.
There also is a legal question
involved in calling a constitu-
tional convention in any legiS-
lative session except the one fol-
lowing the referendum held
every 20 years on that issue.
Voters approved a convention
when the question was last put
to them in 1850. but the next
Legislature refused to issue the
call on the grounds that the
Constitution required approval
by a majority Of the people who
voted that day. not just those
who voted upon the question.

'Po|Ied on Tax,
Teachers Pay
BY GENE GOODWIN
Star Stan Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS. Feb. "A Prince
Georges County legislator is con-
|ducting a poll to determine feel
ing IN his county about raising
teachers salaries and which tax
proposal is least disliked.
Delegate Hervey G. Machen
said today he is sending a ques-
tionnaire to all service clubs in
the county. the county Chamber
of Commerce and the Southern
Prince Georges Board of Trade.
He said he believes members
of these organizations repre-
sent a good cross section of our
county"
The organizations are asked to
poll their members first on the
question of whether the Legis-
lature In its current 90-day ses-
sion should approve a bill in
creasing State teacher minimums
$500 starting this September and
another $500 next year.
Lesser Increase, Perhaps?
If the answer is no, then the
organizations are asked whether
they favor lesser increases in
State teacher pay minimums.
which now begin at $4,000 a year
Finally. the organizations are
asked which of the following tax
increase proposals should be
passed to finance the teacher
pay raises:
Fifty per cent increase in sales
tax, so per cent increase in
income tax. a State tobacco
products tax of S cents a pack
on cigarettes and 2 to cents
on cigars. or some other revenue
source.
Notes Own Opposition
In a letter accompanying the
QUESTIONABLE, Mr.. Machen said
that he himself opposes the State
tobacco products tax proposed
by Gov. McKeldin to balance the
States 1868 million budget for
next fiscal year.
Mr.. Machen said he based his
opposition on loss Of sales OF
these items sto the District of
Columbia because of the high
tax and the effect Of the tax on
the tobacco farmers Of Southern
Maryland" Mr.. Machen also
said:
Il feel it imperative that we
increase the teachers salary
scale and I am positive that this
cannot be done without tax in
crease in some place.
Pay Scale Cited
Prince Georges County now
pays $500 over the State mini
mum scale for a beginning teach
er salary Of $500. I believe this
should be increased to 81 900 and
should be done by increasing the
State minimum scale this year
to $4,000 and next year to $500.
By increasing the State mini
mum scales. the funds to pay the
raise would come from the State
and would not create additional
expenses on the County level.

Of Prince Georges has
advised me that they would, this
year. pass on to the teachers the

Inc expenditure OF some S75
million in the 1950-60 decade fol-
pollution control in the Potomac
River Basin is by far the biggest
cleanliness investment ever made
in the history Of the watershed.
Most of it. however, represents
only a catching-up with the
backlog of Improvements needed
for well over a decade.
AS this work is completed, new
and more complex problems
posed by population and in
dustrial growth are as certain
to arise as water. clean or un-
clean, flows downhill.
Look to Future
So it is that sanitary engineers
and Government officials. while
justiflably proud of the ire
mendous recent progress. aim
their sights a little nervously
toward the period beyond 1860
They have no way of knowing
precisely just what future growth
and the related complexities will
require. They can never be sure
whether the money for future
improvement will be available,
and whether it will be available
when it is needed.
AS a consequence, these off,
Gals have firmly Endorsed the
idea of comprehensively survey
ing the pollution abatement and
overall water supply needs Of the
watershed. The corollary to sur
veys is the preparation Of a COM
prehensive development plan that
will be a reasonable compromise
of all the conflicting interests to
provide substantial benefits for
all.
Two such studies are under
way-one by the Interstate Com
mission of the Potomac River
Basin, the other by the Wash
ington District of the Army En-
gineer Corps.
