ROAD LAW FOR BALTIMORE COUNTY
Edward H. Burke, A Member Of The Legislative Delegation From This
County, Has Intrnduced Bill Tn Change Management Of Roads
Here, So That Greater Efficiency May Be Had.
On January 26, Edward H. Burke, a -member of the Baltimore County Delegation, introduced in the House of Delegates a proposed new Road Law for Baltimore county, which makes important changes in the existing law. The printed copy of the Bill covers 16 pages, but the essential features may "be summarized in a few paragraphs.
1. While the appointment ofv the County Roads Engineer is left with the •Governor of Maryland, he shall be "directly answerable" to the County Commissioners for the faithful and efficient discbarge of his duties, and it shall be

BIG THINGS PLANNED
Some Of Country's Most Prominent Men Will Speak At Emory Grove.
This being the fiftieth annual season, the Emory Grove Association is planning big things for Emory Grove, Baltimore county, this year. They are arranging to hold large meetings on Sunday afternoons, at 3.3 0 P. M. in the large tabernacle, which holds about 2,000 people. Sundays in July, prior to the Camp Meetings,, the meeting will milar to the ones which the Y. M. C. A hold in Ford's Opera House on Sunday afternoons. Some of the most prominent men of the country are to be invited to speak at these meetings.
the duty of the Commissioners to remove him from office at any time "for neglect of duty, inefficiency, dishonesty and for any other cause, matter or thing whatsoever which in the opinion of the Commissioners "necessitates his removal for the better, more efficient and more economical administration of county affairs relating to roads." And whenever a vacancy exists in the office of Roads Engineer, the Governor is required to "immediately fill the same." Tne effect of this provision is to make the Roads Engineer directly responsible to the County Commissioners and, on the other hand, to make the County Commissioners directly responsible for the Roads Engineer. Under the existing law the Governor alone has the power of removal, "for such good cause as he shall deem sufficient."
2. The Roads Engineer is required to give bond to the County Commissioners in the penal sum of $25,000 for the faithful discharge of his duties and the protection of the county "against loss' or damage by reason of any act, default, neglect, false or fraudulent statement of his whatsoever." The Roads Engineer is prohibited from having a. "pecuniary interest in the affairs of any person, company or corporation from whom or which he makes any purchase or with whom or ' which the County Commissioners make any contract, in respect to county roads and bridges, or in any contract in relation to the same."
3. The Roads Engineer shall receive such salary and allowances for expenses "as the County Commissioners may determine." Under .the existing law he receives a salary of $3,000 and T>500 for expenses.
4. Those sections of the existing law *'iat relate to district' road supervisors are repealed, and the Roads Engineer is to be held "responsible to the Coun«

Deep Snow. Telephone
Service Hampered.
Traffic in Baltimore county is practically at a standstill, the roads are so deep in snow that travel by automobile is almost impossible, and had it not been for the quick action of the street railway company and the snow crews on steam roads, a general tie up would now be in order. As it is the little Electric Car of the Towson Cockeysville line is held fast in a snow bank at Timonium, and people who use this line from the Northern Central Railroad to Towson, were compelled to go to..Baltimore city and then out.

CELEBRATION IN UPPER END'
Charity Lodge Of Masons Holds
Installation Ceremoniss At
Parkton Hall.
The happiness and enjoyment should long' live in the hearts and lives of the many members of Charity Lodge, No. 134, A. F. & A. M., Parkton, who were present at the Installation Ceremonies in connection with the installation of the newly elected Worshipful Master, Norris S. Tracey, and the other officers of the Lodge, held recently.
Charity Lodge is the Mother of Masonry in the upper end of Baltimore county and associated in the activities of the Lodge at the present time are a number of its oldest sons, grown old in the service, yet are still young and have a warm spot in their big hearts for the young members of the Lodge who are giving their best to make the Lodge go as it has never gone before and to keep the "Home Fires Burning" so that they never need to be rekindled.
The age of progress is at hand and how well they, both old and young, are living it and how thoroughly are they becoming imbued with the spirit of brotherhood and of the love of service, without either of which hope ends and uncertainty reigns, s One only needs to enter the portals of the Lodge Room and see the beaming faces as the elderly members are welcomed and the newly initiated members received into the Order, to feel and know that "All is well." Other peoples sing "The King-is Dead; Long Live The King," but the silent voices of the hearts of the members of Charity Lodge sing: "Charity IiOdge Is Alive; May She Ever Live."
The Worshipful Master, who is perhaps the youngest Master that has ever presided over the Lodge, together with his officers, all of whom, with the exception of the Tyler, are young men, were duly installed with appropriate exercises, and the retiring Master, Samuel C. Stansfield, was presented with a (Continued on Page 2, Col. 1.)
Believe People Will Reward Competent Administration, Successful Prosecution Of The War, Progressive Legislation And Continuance Of Prosperity Throughout The United States.
(From the Washington correspondent of The Jeffersonian.)
The political pot is beginning to boil and bubble on Capitol Hill. Democratic leaders are putting the Republicans on the defensive and embarrassing the leaders. Majority Leader Mon-dell is under a fierce fire. Republicans 'of the old progressive group are weary of the Mondell partisan way of doing things; they fear he will cause a reaction against them back home.
Democratic leaders of Congress believe that the voters of the nation will return the Democrats to full power in Washington next November.
(1) Because the federal offices of the country, now largely in the hands of Democrats, are well administered, and free from scandals.
(2) Because the Democratic administration conducted a successful war against the German autocrats.
(3> Because the Democrats enacted more constructive and helpful legislation within the last eight years than the Republicans, did in the four decades prior to their downfall ten years ago.
(4) Because the Democratic leader— President Wilson—has the greatest personal following of any man in public life in the United States. Since the dea.th of Colonel Roosevelt the Republicans have no leader with a strong personal following.
(5) Because the country is prosperous and the average man is having his day.
Believing these things to be true, Democratic workers of Congress will take the offensive now, and be the aggressors in all rough and tumble political fights. If the Republicans continue to play politics, as they have done since the Sixty-sixth Congress convened, the Democrats will meet them on their own ground.
There is promise of a spirited war in the House where the Old Guard partisans are fatally bent on making trouble.
Minority Leader Champ Clark and his chief lieutenant, Representative Claude
Kitchin, have routed Frank W. Mondell, the Republican leader, and Phil Campbell, chairman of the Rules Committee of the House, in the controversy over proposed soldier and sailors legislation. The-; Republicans have been camouflaged; they would court favor with the returned figting men, but have no intention of doing the right thing by them.'

Impose License For Fishing With Hook And Line.
In this age, when the high cost of living is occupying the center of the stage, and everything but air has been made to bear its full burden, it seems rather strange fhat some fertile brain has not, by this time devised a scheme whereby it also can be caught, canned, jarred or preserved and be charged for, like any other necessity of life.
The high cost of living, or whatever one may wish to term it, has reached a climax when Baltimore county, under the new State-wide Game Law, is compelled to pay $7,000 for 300 partridges, and this is what happened last year and what will happen this, for the above amount was turned over to the State Game authorities by the Clerk of the Court here, and but 300 partridges were handed back as Baltimore

A bit more than $230 a piece for birds, has the high cocst of turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas backed off the map "seven ways from Sunday," to use the slang expression, and lo! and behold, the latest effort of the present State Game Warden, through his "scout," Talbott Denmead, who is now touring the State to stir up sentiment, in the framing of a bill to be introduced in the present session of the Legislature, imposing a license fee for fishing with hook and line.
If the benefit to be derived from such a measure is in keeping with what has been "put over" on hunters of game in Baltimore county, then, may some good Samaritan deliver us from the clutches of Mr. LeCompte, the distinguished Game Warden of Maryland.
Baltimore county had a very good game law, before the State-wide measure became effective, and successful efforts were made to enforce it, but certain gentlemen, whose names The Jeffersonian sees no use to mention at this time, were more interested in providing for themselves a job, than providing the people with a common-sense game law conceived the idea of a State-wide proposition and after many unsuccessful attempts it was passed by the legislature of 1918. It has now been in operation two seasons, and its workings have been the source of much criticism from every nook and corner of the State.
Maryland was divided into several districts, and Baltimore county. together with Harford and Baltimore city, and a portion of Anne Arundel, form this district, over which a deputy (Continued on Page 6, Col. 1.)
