A Machine Infamy, Exploiting the Schools, Prisons, Hospitals and Charities, Etc., for Base Partisan Purposes—Full Details as to the Methods of Achieving this Great Outrage—Senator Penrose’s Attempt to Deceive the State as to the School and Charity Appro- priations Fully Refuted from the Records. At the late Republican convention that met in Harrisburg to express its contempt for honesty and economy in the state government the boss sent the junior senator to represent him and sing a siren song into the ears of the people which, if it did not deceive them, might still be used by the heelers for such clamor as should confuse and drown the cries of the reformers. Mr. Penrose made a very valiant, but manifestly very laborious effort to ful- fill his task. He, of course, ignored the detailed, specific and widely published evidences of the Republican ma- chine’s theft and waste of the public moneys, because it is impossible for him or anybody else to fairly meet and successfully refute them. But Sweeping them aside, as with a wave of the hand, he undertook to account for the con- stantly increasing cost of machine rule by ascribing it to a greater liber- ality to the schools, the hospitals and elemosynary institutions of the state, leaving it to be inferred that Mr. Quay and the machine were being criticized and abused, not for any real wrongdoing, but for their enlarged liberality in caring for the helpless wards of the state. Even if it were true that the differ- ences in the gross annual outlay of the state were accounted for solely by the larger appropriations to the schools, the hospitals, etc., these appropriations are themselves made to dishonestly and unlawfully contribute to the main- tenance of the machine, whose astute chief and ever watchful lieutenants would consider themselves grossly derelict in permitting such large sums to pass through their hands without gathering on it some profit on the way. But the excess of the cost of main- | taining the state government as be- tween 1883 and 1897 was almost three and three-quarter millions of dollars greater, leaving wholly out of the con- sideration the cost of the schools, the penitentiaries, the insane and the charities, as the following figures will show: Yayments 1897, less interest, ete.

Going to the official records for the facts com- pletely upsets his slyly conceived dec- larations and insinuations, as it will be found to upset every plea made by the machine apologists in explanation and extenuation of its crimes. And the appropriations for the schools and the charities, the poor, prisoners and the insane, are all and in numerous ways made to do duty for the machine. Of the $5,340,253 due Nov. 30, 1897, on appropriations made that year and before, and not paid at that time, $3,439,998 was, as will be no- ticed, owing to the schools and $120,000 to the charities (see treasurer's report, page 14,) at the same time that a bal- ance of $5,136,700 was in the treasury. Here is confession over the official sig- nature of a leading beneficiary of the machine that moneys are wrongfully withheld, and no sane man for a mo- ment dcubts that the purpose of the withholding is to accommodate the favorite banks and insure the ma- chine liberal contributions for its cam- paign funds. There are comparatively few other moneys that could be with- held in the same way, so that, were it not for the large appropriations to the schools and the charities the banks would have to surrender :heir deposits and the machine go to some other source for means to deceive and cor- rupt the voters. Then the myraid of officials that ad- minister the affairs of the institutions under consideration are practically all expected to shout the praises. of the machine about election time and do what they can to confound its enemies. At the beginning of each legislative session the governor has 700 or 800 ap- pointments of various kinds to sub- mit to the senate for confirmation. A large proportion or these are connectea with the educational, charitable, penal and reformatory institutions of the state. All of them must sooner or later pony up in some way to the machine, either by money contribution, lip ser- vice or repressing what they know and feel and would like to tell. Refusal to do this in any direction is regarded as threatening the appropriations for that direction next due. For many of these places, even where neither sal- ary or perquisites attach, there is al- ways warm competition, and in such cases the machine steps in and, regard- less of the local situation or the equities, determines the contest in fa- vor of those who are likelv to prove most subservient to its behests. There are 117 homes, hospitals, asy- lums, aid societies, missions, etc., or- ganized and controlled by the state, or managed by private corporations and receiving state aid, to which ap- propriations were made by the last legislature. These are exclusive of the deaf and dumb and blind schools, the institutions for the training of feeble minded, etc. In many localities these institutions are looked upon as of such importance that the men chosen to rep- resent such localities are expected to make sure of the appropriations for them at whatever sacrifice. Urged by their two or three thousand officers, managers, directors and employes and depending upon the machine as the sole arbiter in the appropriation com- mittees, these poor legislators are often fcrced to choose between voting con- scientiously and losing the appropria- tions or voting with the machine and getting them. Thus even the chari- ties of the state, the sick and the crip- pled are made, unconsciously, to con- tribute to the maintenance of a ras- cally gang at the head of the state's affairs and their conscienceless robbery of the taxpayers. Mr. Wanamaker said in his speech at Phoenixville, May 27: “Politics con- trols the appointment of trustees of state institutions; politics controls the management of state institutions. The needs of ‘overcrowded asylums and un- healthy hospitals count as naught against the request of the man with the political pull and who can deliver state delegates.” And he might have added that the controllers and ~flicers of the institutions not under control of the state, but receiving state aid, for the most part are but in a degress less the servitors of the machine. The appropriations are notoriously inadequate: for the support of the state institutions, notably the insane asy- lums. The payments for the insane were $738,390 in 1896 and $587,544 in 1897. The appropriations were $920,320 for 1897 and $717,700 for 1898, but of the former $201.000 was for a deficiency in the ap- pbropriations for 1895, and $83,950 in 1897, and a like amount in 1898 was for an extension of the reservoir and new buildings for the Harrisburg institu- tion. The committee on lunacy of the board of public charities has been for several years insisting that a new asylum for the indigent insane be built for management under homeo- pathic auspices, that a hospital speci- ally devoted to the treatment of epilepsy be erected and that the chron- ics “who do not require active medi- cal treatment, nursing and special care” should be taken from the hos- pitals and put in an asylum by them- selves. They further recommend that legislation be enacted to induce and encourage counties, municipalities, etc., to build institutions for the care of their own insane by the offer of a fixed sum, say $1 per week, paid out of the state treasury, for each patient supported therein. Wisconsin has pursued this plan with highly satis- factory results for 16 vears, the per capita cost per patient being $1.75 per week, or less than it costs in Penn- sylvania. Notwithsatnding the fact that all the insane hospitals are seri- ously and even dangerously overcrowd- ed, hundreds of beds having to be made up at nights in the corridors and taken down in the morning, the legislature has persistently ignored all these rec- ommendations, excepting when in 1895 they passed an act looking to county care for patients, which was so loaded down with provisos and impossible re- quirements as to be wholly inoperative. It was owing to the extravagant ap- propriations for party and factional purposes that, as Mr. Wanamaker said in his Phoenixville speech: “At the last session of the legislature the appro- priations committee was obliged to re- fuse actual maintenance for many of the most deserving hospitals of the state. Yet this same committee, under orders, passed for Senator Coyle, of Schuylkill, a Quay lieutenant, an ap- propriation of $10,000 for the main- tenance of the American Hospital as- sociation, of Mahanoy township, which was an imaginary institution of Sena- tor Coyle’s, without capital, without a building, or without even a site upon which to build one. This fraud, was fortunately discovered by Governor Hastings, who vetoed the nefarious scheme.” And yet as showing how even the state board of charities itself is com- pelled to pose as apologists for the machine, the secretary cf the board said in his report Jan. 1, 1897 (see report, page 8): ‘At the session of the legis- lature of 1895 we earnestly urged that provision be made for both the insane and criminal classes. Bills for these burposes were presented to the legis- lature, but unfortunately, owing to the financial depression of the treasury, failed to become. laws.” And vet it is notorious that in multiplying useless offices and expenses the legislature of 1895 outdid all its predecessors and was not a whit less culpable than that of 1897. Following up this subject Mr. Wan- amaker says (again the Phoenixville speech is quoted from): “I am informed by an ex-member of the appropriations committee that du- ring a recent session of the legislature the appropriations committee, after months of work and the unmerciful slashing of meritorious bills, had suc- ceeded in making the total amount of appropriations fall within the estimated revenues. Upon the last night that bills could be reported from the com- mittee and be passed before adjourn- ment orders came from Senator Quay that more than $500,000 of bills for pow erful and rich institutions must be passed. These bills had all been con- sidered by the committee on their mer- its and negatived. Upon orders from the ‘old man’ they were reconsidered and reported favorably within an hour. A prominent Philadelphia business man dared not contribute to the Business | Men’s T.eague. because he was a di- .addition to the steals in the way of rector in- the FPhiladelpnia Museum, and he was notified that he must not oppose Quay or his institution would lose an appropriation that upon its merits alone it is entitled to receive.” It is not generally understood, but | shouid be, that the state does not sup- | port the penitentiaries and reformato- | ries. The state provides the buildings | and pays the salaries, but the counties | pay for maintenance. Of the state ap- propriations to the penitentiaries for | 1896, $50,000 of the $52,000 went for sala- ries in the Eastern and $60,000 of the $65,000 in the Western. These well paid officials are, of course, another contin- gent of the machine's active election- eering forces. More than half of the cost of main- taining the indigent insane patient is paid by the counties, and from a third te a half of the total income of the in- sane hospitals from all sources goes for salaries. Here, again, the machine finds profit and support. In the fur- nishing of supplies it is the same thing, and it is notorious that the cost of feed- ing the patients is much in excess of what it should and would be under honest management. In his Philadel- phia speech, June 27, Dr. Swallow said: “Though the average charity in- mate of our asylums gets service, clothing and focd that costs less than, 50 cents a day, the expense to the state is greater than though they were board- ed at a first-class hotel.” This, like nearly all of the reverend doctor's alle- gations, is a haphazard statement, demonstrating the impractical charac- ter of the man and the unwisdom of depending upon his “statistics,” and yet it is approximately true. The weekly per capita cost for main- tenance of patients in the five state hospitals for insane for 1896 is set down in the official report of the committee on lunacy of the board of charities (see report 1896, page 24) as follows: Harrisburg ............ $3.75 Danville .. ....0,. io 3.60 Norristown LLL... On 3.15 3-5 Morven ...,, ....0 a0 3.61 DiIxmoent Loh. ln 3.89 Aversge ..... 0. on $3.60 3-5 It has already been stated that the cost of the insane to the state of Wis- consin, where they are cared for in the counties, etc., is $1.75, and “the quality of care is excellent,” says our board of public charities, and the board further says (See report 1858, bage 5): In Pennsylvania there now is some excel- lent county and municipal care of the insane, at far less per capita cost than that charged in the state hospitals.’ A board of charities, whose officials would give less of their time to moving about the state doing the work of the machine and the party which it con- Pols, would see to it that naked main- tenance of at least as good a quality as is now furnished, was provided wherever money is specifically appro- priated by the state for maintenance, at considerably less cost. The educational, penal, correctional and charitable institutions of the state, whether supported in whole or only in part by the state, are, as will fully ap- pear from the foregoing revelations, vir- tually all industriously exploited for the support of the Republican machine. Ev- ery dollar of money voted to them in one way or another, directly or indirect- ly, pays tribute to it. A great liber- ality is indecently and defiantly util- ized to assist the basest of political as- pirations. The mere money outgo is not nearly fo large as Senator Pen- rose tried to make the people believe, and is far from covering the difference between the cost of honest government and the cost of Republican machine government, but it is a great sum nevertheless, fully sufficient to inspire successful revolution against the ma- chine and the men who are responsible for its cruel and wicked maladminis- tration. Department Expenses. How they Have Swelled in Fifteen Years and Since the Democrats Were Last at Least in Partial Con- ‘ trol—A Steady and Constant Increase in Every Item—Extravagance and Spoliation at Republican Machine Dictation, as Gathered from the Official Records. The enormous increase in the cost of running the executive departments of the state government has been the sub- ject of much comment in the news- papers and otherwise. The extent of the increase is mit yet, however, un- derstood. .It is not generally com- prehended how unceasing has been the upward trend of the figures. It is not realized that each legislature under the sway of Republican Bosses has not only ‘seen’ its predecessor, to use the language of the card playing fra- ternity, but managed to “go” consider- ably “better.” The protests of the people and such of the newspapers as were not under the control of the ma- chine have gone unheeded. Governor Pattison’s vetoes in 1891-93 fell in for no greater consideration. And even the warnings of Governor Hastings, their own man, that the time had come to go slow, were ignored. The appe- tite of the cormorants grew with what it fed upon like all other appetites, and may be regarded today as in a state of utter unappeasability. All this, be it borne in mind, is in legislative junkets, contested election charges, fraudulent investigations, etc. What is here considered fell in for no executive vetoes or injunctions either in 1895 or in 1897, during which years, as will further appear, the greatest enormities were perpetrated. As probably presenting the case most comprehensively and so as to enable the seeker after the facts to gather them in at a glance, so to speak, the following table is presented. The fig- ures in the first column, headed 1883, represent the outlay for the first year of Governor Pattison’s administration, when there was a Democratic house and a strong reform element in the senate to help keep the looters in check, Those in the other column, headed 1889, 1893 and 1897, respectively, repre- sent the aporopriations for the last year, that is the last legislative year of the Beaver, Pattison (second) and Hastings administrations. The figures are taken from the appropriation bills, as finally passed and signed, are ex- clusive of the vetoes and are in each case for two years: GOVERNOR'S OFFICE. 1883. 1889. 1893. 1897. $42,800. $50,400. $56.058. $57,800. SECRETARY OF COMMONWEALTH. $50,600. $62,000. $69,000. $79,600. AUDITOR GENERAL'S DEPART- MENT. 840 can SER.A00. + $69.800. $94,200, TREASURY DEPARTMENT. The foregoing may without scruple be accepted as reliable, having, as stated, been taken direct from the sev- eral appropriation acts as they ap- pear in the officially published laws of the state. A few explanations will not, however, be out of place. For instance, in the cost of the ‘“‘governor’s office” is included only the actual office cost, and not that of the expensive gubernatorial mansion, or anything connected with it. The ‘attorney general’s depart- ment” does not cover the large sums he receives as fees. ‘Superintendent of public instruction’ means the expense for salaries, etc., of his office, and does not cover any of the cost of the schools. The same thing is true of ‘“superintend- ent of soldiers’ orphan schools.” ‘“State library” is independent of the appro- priations for books and the ‘‘public printer” of those for printing. ‘Public buildings and grounds’ excepts the ex- tra expense (1897) put upon the state by the capital fire and the occupancy hy the legislature of Grace Church. The agricultural department was not or- ganized until 1895, but, in order to be wholly fair, we have, for the preceding years given the appropriations to the board of agriculture, which item is for 1897 included in the costs of the depart- ment. No appropriation was made for the fish commissioner in 1897. A larg one was in prospect, but the people ap- peared to be somewhat aroused as t what was going on, the legislators were made in some degree afraid and the scheme was abandoned.
