We own to some measare of indifference as to the result of the municipal election in Philadelphia. It is a matter of the gravest consequence to the city. The eleo- tion of she machine candidate for Mayor, Jonx E. REYBURN, would restore the predatory band of political pirates to com- plete contro! of the government of the city. That would mean the revival of the white slave trade, the renewal of the partnership between the police and the criminals, the propagation of vice and the promotion of crime. The secret traffic in franchises and property will he resumed and the birth- rights of the people of the city will again be used as assets of the atrocious coutract- ors combine. Bat the people of Philadelphia deserve some such treatment as this. In 1905 there was a temporary awakening of the conscience of the city and the machine was defeated overwhelmingly. Some of the hosses hecame fogitives from justice and others sought seclusion at home. Bat they were helpless to do harm and might have been forced into permanent good behavior or perpetual banishment. The people of the city came to their rescue, however. They knew, if they have any intelligence at all, that the success of the machine ticket last fall would guarantee the restor- ation of the machine to power. They knew, if they k now anything, that such a resulj meant municipal disaster. Bat they cast their reform purpose to the dogs and voted for the machine candidates, It STEWART bad been defeated last fall a candidate for Mayor of the REYBURN type would have no more chance of #lec- tion now than SAM SALTER has of being appointed presidents of the Civil Service commission. If the fusion ticket had heen wucoessfal last fall the people of Phila- delphia would bave been certain of just government, at a saving of millions of dol- lars annually, for at least a generation. Bas political bigotry, added to a complete indifference to civic righteousness, influ- enced them to vote for the machine and if the conseqneace is expensive in carren- ey and reputation, is is their own fault. The citizens" ip of Philadelphia is ‘‘corrupt and contented,” and ought to suffer the consequences. ——Secretary of the Treasury SHAW re- sents the newspaper statements that im- portant improvements in the methods aod personnel of that department are contem- platsd by Secretary-elect, CORTELYOU. The improvements were begun some time ago, SHAW declares, in the system of book- keeping. Bat the substitution of anybody for SHAW is the greatest improvement that could be imagined — i pum— Quicting a Boomerang. President ROOSEVELT has called upon “all vewspapers supporting his adminis- ttasion’’ to drop ‘‘she Japanese ecare,’ according to the Washington correspon. dents. We have the same authority for the statement that after a visit with the Presi- deat, the other day, Senator CuLLodM, of Illinois, said, ‘‘this war scare is all bosh. There is no more chance of our going to war with Japan over this little school ques- tion than there is of fighting China, Russia or Great Britian.” It may be inferred, therefore, that the absurd invention has proved a boomerang aud that ROOSEVELT is now trying to cure an evil of his own oreation. Having ‘‘sown to the wind’’ the “,eaping of the whirlwind is nos unfre quens."’ There never was even the moat remote probability of a war with Japan over the San Francireo school question. It may be thas some Japauvese ouvusular official at Sav Francisco or some place else, more or less ochesty since the Russian war, imagined that Admiral ToGo would come over here and overwhelm us if moral and physical lepers of the oriens were not allowed to a=sociate ou an equality, in the pablie schools of San Francesco, with the white childien of the community. Bat it wasan ahsord pipe dieamn. There is no treaty which obliges any State to perpetiate such 8 crime against iteell and so loug as reason prevails here never will be. RoosevELT started that manifestly prepc-tetons story for the purpose of frighs. enitg Congress into the appropriation of vast sums for the inoreae of the army and navy. For some inexplicable reason the President is anxious to impoverish she peo- ple of the United States by levying tax burdens heyoud endurauvce and the only oertaiv way to achieve that resuls is to greatly increase the simy and vavy, Tuere is no more need for such burdens upou the people than there ie danger of a war with Japan, Russia or Greats Biitain, Bus it is cerwain that an impoverished people will be easily subdaed and maybe RousgVELT wants uch a condition to exist in shes country about the time his term expires. -— Auditors bave been appointed to conduct the investigation of the palace of graft bus nobody knows what acditors are for in thas connection, STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. BELLEFONTE, PA., FEBRUARY 8, 1907. Get Busy On Right Line. There have been introduced into the Legislature since the opening of the pres- ent session bills and resolutions creating no less than a dozen commissions for one pur- pose or another. Some of these bodies might serve good purposes, such, for in- stance, as the railroad commission, pro- vided for in the measure introduced by Representative CREASY. The abuses which it is intended to correct or abate are mani- fold and manifest. Bat the constitution lodges in the Secretary of Internal Affairs all the power which the measure in ques- tion would bestow on the commision and it would be better, therefore, to enact such legislation as is necessary to make the con- stitutional provision effective. There are already between fifty and a hundred of these boarde and commissions in existence, beginning with the Board of Pablic Grounds and Buiidiogs, which has recently betrayed the interests of the State by squandering millions of treasure in the construction and farnishing of the capitol. The purpose of these commissions is to provide honorary or profitable places for political dependents and party workers primarily, and to shift responsibility for evils, incidentally. If the powers of she Board of Public Boildings and Grounds had been lodged in any individual member of the body the abuses would never bave occurred. The shadow of prison walls would bave admonished him to be careful. The constitution of the State vests a!l legislative power in'the General Assembly. The creating of commissions, therefore, with legislative power, is an infringement of the constitution and invalid aod such commissions withont sach power or fof other purposes is mischievous and danger- ous. There is no occasion for commissions of any kind and the only legislation on that subject which ought to be considered is for the revocation of some of the commis- sions already in existence. It wonld close up one of the most prolific sources of graft and stop one of the greatest evils from whioh the Commonwealth is suffering. Let the Legislators get busy along thas live. —— Next Wednesday will mark the be- ginning of the Lenten season aud the next day, Thursday, will be St. Valentine day, 80 in order to be in keeping with the eea- son let any valentines you may send be as penitential in character as possible. —— Really Congressman BURTON, of Ohio, muet be some sort of a colossus, According to the Philadelphia papers he coutrols all the legislation of Congress and bas Speaker CANNON ‘‘skinned a mile.” Delinguency and Disappointment. The Washington correspondents are ubiquitous, of coarse, all newsgatherers are that, but they are not always entirely sati-fying. They goeverywhere, we bave no doubt, and see everything. They print a lot, too, and most of their stories are in- teresting. Bat sometimes they stop short of the full measure of the possibilities in catering to popular ocariosity. Io fact many a good story is spoiled because it is incomplete. Only the skeleton is given or more properly speaking, the preface is published and the narrative, as well as the motif left to conjecture. Nothing could be more disappointing. For example, the other day the Washing- ton correspondents gave the public an ac- conus of the first meeting between Senator elect SIMON GuaGENHEIM, of Colorada, and Senator BENJAMIN TILLMAN, of Sonth Carolina. Mr. GUGGENHEIM is the wealthy gentleman who,according to his own state: mens, recently bought a seat in the United States Senate from the Legislatare of Colo- rado. Iu a speech delivered a few days ago, Senator TILLMAN held GUGGENREIM up to public execration and denounced him and his methods in the most scathing terms. In fact be was so severe on GUG- GENHEIM and men of his type that the Senate, in secret session, forced him to make an apology. Under the ciroumstances the first meet- ing between these gentlemen muss have been an event of unusual interest and some source of excitement. TILLMAN is a plain spoken man and might easily bave said a few things on such au occasion that would have made ‘‘iuterestin’ readin’, as the Iate General CAMERON would have pus it. But if anything of that kind bappened, the Washington correspondents failed to take notice of itand so far as their reports indicate they may bave ‘‘piped as meekly as a sucking dove.” There is certainly a delinquency there and a disappointment. ~The defeat of Senator DRYDEN, of New Jersey, is a triumph of civio righteous- vess over corporate venality. Itis a pity that such things never happen in Pennsyl- vavia, at least hardly ever. —There is no foundation for the war scare with respect to Japan bot incidents which bave followed that silly affair shoold admonish she President against repeating such absurdities, ; Garner the Recreant. When Representative GARNER, of | Schuylkill county was making his primary campaign for renomination he made a speech in which be declared that darirg previous sessions he had ‘‘sold himself, body and soul,”” to the Republican ma- chive in consideration of promises of legis- lation in the interest of she miners. He had ‘‘been cheated,’ he added in every in-, stance, and declared that in the event of his re-election he would not so pander to the vicions combination. He appears to have forgotten this pledge, however. He is still selling himeselt ‘body and soul’’ to the machine, and it looks as though he were throwing in a chromo, here aud there, to entice traders, For example, the other day Representa- tive CReAsyY introduced a resolution dis charging the committee on electric rail ways from the farther consideration of his bill aathorizing trolley railroads to carry freight. The Repablican party is pledged to the support of the measare and the ma- chine managers hoped it could be stifled in committee. CREASY'S motion interfered with this programme and CoCcHRAN, of Armstrong county, a servile follower of the gang, tried to head it off. It went over under the rules until Monday evening whea Mr. CREASY called it up. COCHRAN raised the point of order that the Legisla- ture had not been in session ten da,s since the introduction of the bill and hke a drowning man clutching straws, the Speak- er ruled the point ‘well taken.” CrEaASY remonstrated aud showed tbat the practice has been to count every day between Mon- day and Saturday as legislative days. The Speaker was compelled to reverse himself and the machine was in despair. Bat Mr. GARNER came to ite resoue. The Speaker, CocHRAN avd all the other machine leaders wanted a postponement but were afraid to take the onus of a mo- tion. GARNER was equal to the occasion, however, and he moved shat the resoluticn be “laid on the table unsil next Monday evening.'’ That is precisely what the ma- chine managers wanted. Is gives them the time they need to devise a means of deleat- ing the measare or so crippling it that it will be worthless. GARNER has given another mortgage on his big body aod iis- tle soul, bus that is really animportans for he bas proved himself to be a recreant any way. We hope his betrayed constituents will understand the gravity of his crime. ~The investigation of the Brownsville episode will show thas the town was ‘‘shot up” by twenty negro soldiers bus it will bardly jastify the dishonorable discharge of 140 or eo who had no part io the dis- order without trial or opportunity to prove their innocence. The Greater of Two Evils, In a letter addressed to some well- meaning and amiable ladies of New York who have dedicated themselves to the be- vevolent purpose of ameliorating the evils of child labor, President ROOSEVELT has given the public some idea of his plans for the promotion of centralization. ‘‘When the local and state authorities fail to fulfill their duties in the matter of exterminating evils,” the President writes, ‘‘then the national government has no choice but to interpose its authority and perform the neglected services of the state govern. ments.’”’ This is sabstantially what Seore- tary RooT says he meant in his New York speech of some weeks ago. The trouble is that the constitution of the United States, which the President and all other officiais of the national govern- ment have sworn to ‘‘suppors, obey and defend,” forbids such interposition of federal authority. ‘‘The powers not dele- gated to the United States by the cousti- tation, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people,” is the exact language of Article X of the fundamental law of the United States. There is no langosge in that instrament which directly or inferen- tially aushorizes the federal authorities to interfere with the state regulation in re. spect to child labor, or any other kind of labor, or forbids the States from exercising absolute power in such matters. We all agree to the proposition that child lahor is a grave evil which the State Legis. lature should restrict and the state aashor- ities prevent. Bat is is hardly as great an evil as the subversion of the government would be and the violation of the oonstitu- tion by the usurpation of power, specifically prohibited, will enevitably work that re. salt. It the state authorities fail to per- form their duties popular sentiment should interpose and compel obedience to the in- terests of the public. Bat the President of the United States has no right to exeroire sach power and if be does so he is guilty of treason. ~The charges of forgery against the cashier of the defunct Waynesharg bank bave been withdrawn. The people out shere probably came to thé conolasion the pressing of such a oharge might not be agreeable to so distinguished a citizen. NO. 6. Taxing the Other Fellow. From the Pitsburg Leader. Amateur ecvnomists, near stateswen, strikers and pinchers are busy in all states of the usion with she problem of taxing the other fellow. In no state are they bu-ier than in Pennsylvania. The once loved bus now hated corporations are to be made to bear #0 much of the ex of government that the taxation of the people will be mere- ly normal. Scarcely a day passes that a new tax bill is not presented in the legislature as Har- risbuig and all are aimed as She corpora- tions. This is the direct resuls of the gov- ernment of privilege for the few that has existed in thie state for more than a qua:- terof a century. In the reaction agaiussit legislators are attempting the impossible of making it a government of privilege for the many at the ex of the few. Of course they cannot do it, even il they should pass every tax bill that has been «flered at this session. They can devise no system of taxation to accomplish that, But there are guite a few who believe they can. They are men who hold the opinion that the man who actaally hands the money over to the tax collector is the man who really pays the taxes. With them the taxes psd by a railroad corporation come ous of the pockes of the stockholder and are not paid by those who pay the corporation for the service it per- forms. The mercantile and osher special taxes on business of different kind they be- lieve are paid by the merchant and nut by the person who bays his wares. The land- lord pays the tax on real estate and not the tenant, who merely pays the landlord rent. Bat if shippers did nos ship, buyers did not huy or renters did not rent railroad corporations, merchans« and landlords could vos jay taxes. And if the +hippeis bayeis and renters did vos pay enough for ship- ping, for goods and for houses they occupy the men who deal directly with the tax col- lector would not be ahle to pay she bill ¢! arged againas them hy the state. It legislators woald nd shenselves of this false idea that they can make the oth: v fellow pay all the taxes and wonld devote themselves to the task of making him pav his full and jostshaie and nwo moe they mighs accomplish something for the people Shey Sap: uni, . e surplus that is now carried in the state treasury proves in itself that too mach money is now being collected from the people hy the state for the return that ia being made to them hy their govern- ment. The state has no right to take more from the people than it need« for the sup- ports of a government honestly and econ- omically administered. Iss revenues each sear should balance its expenditu: es and its expenditures should he enough aiid no more to give the people efficient public service for the promotion of their material welfare, their intellectual improvement, their comfort and their happiness. It is a mistake to helieve that the people of the state hold enmity soward the corpor- ations or that they are demanding thas punitive or revengefnl measures he taken against them in satisfaction of the wrongs of the past. They are merely asking that the corpora- tious he brought within the law; shat they be restiained from the abuse of she special privileges they enjoy and thas they be re- quired to pay fair and honest compensation to the people for those privileges, either in taxes or in lower charges for the service they are authorized to perform, The people do vot ask that that compen- sation be more thao they pav themeelves for the benefits they enjoyed under organ- ized and orderly government. Fortheir unquestioned right to live upon the land the people muss pay thestate taxes that are heavy and excessive in proportion to the compensation corporations pav, not for a natural right bos for a revocable privi. lege. They ask for an equalization thas will at least make the price of privilege equal to the cost of right. Farber taxation of nearly all of the oor- porations, where it is demanded hy justice and fairness, rhouid he left to the local onmmunities which they serve. Thereis a double reason for this. Io the fires place, the valae of the prop erty of these corporations has heen creased entirely hy the local commanity and tax- ation of that value should he for the nse and benefit of those who created itand whose wealth it is. Secondly, these cor porations us2 the pubiic property of the government in that community and the barden of protecting their property is upon that community. Hence the compensation for these thing» is dae to no one but those who pay the hill. The state unfairly and without justice denies the people of Pittshurg the right to collect from public service Sogjatations enjoying the nse of the streets of the city an equitabie tnx hai woald require thei to pay the city tionarely to the ben efits they derive from is and proportionate- ly as much av vokividuale must pay on their real and property. Is would ons for the state to step in and collect this tax and take is away from those so whom 1s is rightfully due to give it to communities that had vo shadow of a claim toit. It would be plain robbery. Let the state make laws for the regala- tion of corporations to enforce the will of the people as expressed hy them in their constitution. Then les it levy such gener al taxes as will meet the expenses that should lengitimately and rightfally he horne hy the whole state. Its duty and ita right end there. Sane and honext legislators shonld not allow themselves to he led astray by these pinchers, these bungliog economists and these political strikers who believe thes oan ouiry favor with the masses by their anti-cor poration misohiel.
