Watcbfal government, nit. —The vew school sode for Pennsylvania got a set back in the Legislature, on Tues- day, that might resnls in its failare to pass at this session. “And such an eventuality would not prove a bad thing for the schools of the Jommonwealth, Toe code is ensire- ly too comprehensive in its scope: and rad- ical in it« changes of present regulations to be passed in a precipitate manoer. The public school interests of Pennsylvania are #0 diversified and conditions necessarily vary so much in different communities that what suits one is entirely unadapted for another. For this reason the code should lay over until the next session in order to give two years in which its appli- cation could be carefully analyzed by edu. oators.and school directors and its final passage made ie such wanner that it could become a statute withont necessity of farther and bothersome changes. The minority members of the Hoonse Committee on Ways and Means in Wasb- ington have admirably stated their objec. tions to the PAYNE tariff bill ina report submitted the other day. In the outset they point to the revenue deficit as an ample reason for tariff reform. *‘There are only three ways of curing a deficiency,” the report declares. These are : “First, cut down expenditures ; second, inoreasc the taxes and third, i<sue bonds.” The inabil- ity of the Kepuhlican party toons down expenditures is next referred to and, the report continues, ‘‘the most easily under- stood feature of the PAYNE tariff bill is that it increases the authorization of the interest bearing bonds from $100,000,000 to $250,000,000 in any one year to 1an for that year aud that, too, in a period of pro- found peace.’” What more caustic com- ment oonld be mude. The report then proceeds to show that the decrease in rates where there are re- dnctions are more apparent than real. In other words the items are juggled so that what seem to be redactions are actually increases. In wool for example, commod- ities that are little used are reduced in rates but those that are essential and in common use are increased, throngh the trick of language. Blankets and flannels for example, will he taxed at a higher rate under the PAYNE bill than under the DINGLEY law. There isa lover rate put on ‘‘tops’’ but the rate on yarns is in- oreased. The weaning of this is that the profits of the maunfactarer will be greater while the charge to the consumer is the same. The decreas: in the rate on rugar is equally deceptive while thelrate on the products of the Standard Oil company is materially inoreased. In window glass there is a deorease of one-eighth of a cent a ponud on sizes ex- ceeding 720 square inches, while the rate on sizes in common use isnot changed. But how many citizens want glass in sizes exoeeling 720 square inches ? Merchants who have show windows or millionaires who bave castles may be henefisted by that reduction but nobody else will. In the iron and steel schedule there have heen some reductions but nove below a level that is probibitory. In other words the out in half wiich Mr. Payxrjboasts still leaves the tax rate so high that present prices, or even those which prevailed be- fore the Steel trust made its recent cas to cripple smaller concerns, could easily be maintaived, so far as foreign competition is concerned. Tea is taxed heavily, and through the process of counterveiling da- ties, coffee is also taxed so that the promise of tariff redaction has been betrayed all aroand. Taft Misinterprets the Signs. President TAFT is reported to have said to a number of Congressmen the other day, thas delay in passing the PAYNE tariff hill is costing the country at the rate of §10,- 000,000 a day. He bases this estimate npon conjeciure of course. Large concerns, he says, refuse to make new contracts or renew old onesas long as there is uncertainty about the tariff echedules. The result, he imagines, is industrial inactivity which cats out wages, profita and exchanges to the amoant of his vast figures. Clearly be in- fers that the moment the tariff bill is paes- ed everybody will rush headlong into work. The hum of industry will make merry music in all parts of the broad land. This is a beantiful dream in which our amiable chief magistrate is indnlging him- sell, and we greatly fear without reason. There was no uncertainty concerning the tariff schedules in October, 1907. There were no commercial or industrial clouds on the horizon. We had jost passed a harvest season of extraordinary hounteousuess. The mills were taxing their capacities and the railroads exhansting their resources. Money was plenty and contentment permeated the atmosphere. There was nothing to disturb our expectations of a serene and plentiful futare. Bat saoddenly a panic came and spread indastiial and commercial pa-alysis over the broad and smiling surface of the lsnd. Daring the ensaing session of Congress Mr. VAN CLEAVE, president of the Ameri- can Manufacturer’s association, came to ‘Washington and told the Repablican lead- ers in Congress what was the matter. The DINGLEY tariff, throngh its excessive tax rates had been robbing the wage éarners of the country of a million dollars a day, he said. The pending tariff bill adds swenty per cent. to these excessive tax rates and in view of that fact it is not easy to sce how the speedy passage of the measure will have so strengthening an influence on busi- ness. As a matter of fact we are very muck afraid that the President is mistaken. It looks to us as if he had wisinterpreted the signs, ~ With & proposed pew school house to cost thirty thousand dollars and a proposed new electric plant to cost a like amount the increase in taxation in Bellefonte, should they both be carried to completion, would probably amount to four mills. STATE RIGHTS AND Present Industrial Conditions, During the last campaign the wage earn- ers of the conutry were assured thas indas- trial prosperity depended upon the election of the Repablioan candidate. In Wess Ches- ter, this State, a manaufactarer gave notice that in the event of Mr. BRYAN'S election his factory would be closed down and his bands torned out of employment. In Youngstown, Ohio, 8,000 eruployees of the R:public Iron company were indaced to march in a procession on the occasion of the opening meeting of the Republican cam- paign, carrying banners which declared that indastrial life won!d eod and soup houses open in the evens of the election of BRYAN. [In other sections the same false representations were made. The other day the mills of the Republic Iron company in Youngstown, Ohio, were closed down and the chances are that with- io a month half the 8,000 men who march- ed and carried the banners predicting io. dustrial paralysis in the event of Mr. Bry- AN'S election, will he thankful for the nourishment supplied by soup houses. The Republic Iron company was a part of the property of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company purchased by the steel trast, in violation of the law, under the assurance of THEODORE ROOSEVELT that rhe law against the orime wonld not be enforced. It has been closed in order that the steel trust may continue to fix the prices of the commodity it prodaces. The election of Mr. BRYAN could have achieved no worse results for those men, And thus it goes all over the country. The coal miners of Peunsylvania are foroed to work npon the terms fixed hy the mine owners or go hungry. The iron workers at Reading have strack or are to strike against a reduotion of wages, Tbe loco- motive works at Lewistown are idle or practically so. The hig steel works at Steelton, Pa., bave redooced wages. Notice of a reduction has been served on the em- ployes of the Bethlehem Iron company and at Pottitown and other places within a short distance of that town wage redno- tions bave oconrred or are about to. How mach worse than this coald it have been if Mr. BRYAN bad Veen elected? Not any, aud it may be added that if BRYAN had been elected the miners in the anthracite region would not have been forced to the extremities that confront them. ~—While we have no desire to appear as an iconoolast or a pessimist we do fear that it will take more than James J. Hiuv's turning Spimiat to make business revive. A Significant eciden t The resignation of United States Distriot Attorney STIMSON, of the southern distriot of New York, may be a very significant in- oident in the public life of the country. STIMSON was largely responsible for the prosecntion of Josern PULITZER, of the New York World, and DELEVAN SMITH, of the Indianapolis News, for lese majesty. Ol conrse BONAPARTE was the prime mover in that absurd enterprise. There is nobody else foolish enough to be guilty of that crime against liberty. Bat Stimson did ‘all the work. He prepared the indictments aud collected the evidence. He was literal. ly “the cheese.” Soon after Attorney General WICKER- SHAM was inducted inte office he dismissed a lot of absord suits which BoNAParTE had accumulated for the porpose of deceiv- ing the people into the false notion that he was an active reformer. That was the first ign of the resamptioa of reason in the law department of the government. Bat the accumulation of those trivial canses wasn't the greatest of BONAPARTE'S offenses. That distinction belonged to the lese majesty snits in which it was sought to drag Amer- ican citizens to trial in an alien jarisdio- tion for orimes that didn’t exist. Presum- ably it was the interference with those cases that inflnenced STIMSON to resign. ‘Bat the reason is of less consequence than the result. The resignation of STIMSON hase, unless appearances are misleading, put an end to the lese majesty cases. Of onarse it would have been better if the trials had gone on and the courts had fittingly thrown them ont with a becoming rebuke to those responsible for their being there. In the course of time we may have another storm- brain President and crazy Attorney General in which event such abeurd proceedings might be inaugurated again. If the courts had passed on the guestion, however, that would have been impossible. Bas it ie well enough as it 1a, ~The legislative appropriation oom- mittee on Mooday evening recommended av appropriation of $28 000 for the Belle- fonte hospital —$6,000 for maintenavce and $12,000 for building j-arposes.

D FEDERAL UNION. BELLEFONTE, PA., APRIL 2, 1909. A Matter for Sober Reflection. While she WATCHMAN believes that Bellefonte is iu real need of more and bet. ter school rooms and that council isactoated by a sincere desire so accomplish a money saving proposition in the establishment of a borough lighting plant is also believes that these two contemplated improvement constitute a matter for serious thought at this time. The horough is already carrying a hooded debs of abous $107,000.00. In addition to this there are horough notes outstanding approximating $20,000.00. The bonded indebtedness of she Bellefonte school district is in the neighborhood of $25,000.00. The proposals heing made now are to add about $40,000.00 to the debs of the hoiough for a new lighting plant and $30,000 00 or $40,000.00 to the debt of the school district for a new baild- ing to replace the old North ward school. While both she boroagh and the school board have property more thav covering their total indebtedness aud an increase of seventy thousand or more dollars in it wonld not affect she credit ol either the real question is the one of the increased taxation thas wouid be necessary to meet the interest on the increased indebtedness, Bellefonte property holders are paying thirty mills now, in addition to the state tax, aud these proposals must certainly mean an increase of four, possibly five mills. Can we stand vuch a raise. Of! course is may be said for the electric lighting plans that under it the cost to the borough is to be lissle, if any, greater than atitler the present system, bud that is esti- mated. If she plant is to cost $30,000 00, interest and sinking fund for it would cer- tainly amount to $2500.00 a year, which would leave only $2500.00 a year to main- tain it without going in excess of the pres- ent cost of lighting, whioh we believe is in the neighborhood of $5000.00. If shis can be accomplished, well and good. Bat we think is time for our property owners to ponder the matter carefully, so that an in- telligent consultation can be had with both school directors and councilmen concerning the wisdom of doing anything thas will raise the taxation materially at a time when it is niready a great burden. Higher taxes can mean only one thing: Higher rents. As we bave said before the WATCHMAN does uot wans to be construed as opposiog either proposition, but it believes that the time to thresh out such shings is helore and not remain silent only to complain after they are completed. Tr The Pending Fish Law. The House committee on fish and fisheries of the Legislature has rejected she measure recently drafted by a committee of prac. tical fishermen and reported for considera- tion a bill which has the approval of the department of fisheries. The rejected bill was oue of considerable merit. It classified the fish ina way that could he understood by a man of ordinary intelligence, and pio- vided for such regulation in the taking of fish as is reasonable. It provided just penalties for taking fish illegally bus pro- hibited the punishment of men on the sus- picion of fish wardens. In other words the aos required that it he shown that fish bave been illegally canght before a penalty conld beimposed. Is was fair both to the State and the citizen. The commission’s bill has listle it any merit. Its main purpose seems to be to multiply the namber of officials in the de- partwent and increase its power over the people. Is contains vo provision which will increase the protection of the fish from pirate fishermen or illegal devices. Is | States simply makes is more difficult for farmers’ boys and country residents to sopply their tables with wholesome and nourishing food trom the streams in their neighborhood and easier for fish wardens to prove their sus- pioions of illegal fishing. So far as it re- lated to the propagation of fish is is all right. Bas those features of the measure might have been pus into the other bill sp the advantage of the State aud the comfort and convenience of the fishermen. The trouble with the authorities at Har- rishurg is that they imagine every oilizen of the State is seeking opportunities to vio- late the laws. Iuflaenced by this absugd idea they are constantly urging the Legis- lature to enact oppressive and absurd legis- lation. The game laws are quite as bad as the fish laws .in this respect. IS is even proposed to tax men for shooting game on their own lauds and ioaugniate a sort of surveilauce upon every citizen who owns a sun. This lorm of paternalism should be condemned by every citizen and Represen- tatives in the Legislature who give their votes and iufl ence to such legislation should be condemned by their constituents, What is needed ate laws which will pro- tect fish and game without oppressing the public. —Mr. HARRIMAN is pleading for gov- ernment economy. He doesn’s say so bat. we presume that he would like it to apply particularly to the assessment of cawpaign contributions. From the Washington Herald, Pusting all shese facts together, aod looking as the Payne billas a whole, the couolusion is reached thas is isa kighly protective measure. Sock revisions down- ward ae appear are w n interest of manufacturers, who ate given freer ac- ven to fw mateals, hut every native io-’ ustry is exceedingly well proicoted, even the iron aud steel interests, with which no foreign makers of iron and steel products could compete on even terms, even if th were free trade in those prodnots, principle of fiee raw materials is a proper and wholly commendable one, of course, hut it remains 80 he seen Ww r she “ultimate consumer” will gain any advan. tage therefrom in cheaper food, elothiog, or shelter. It is certain thas the ‘‘nitimate consumer’’ can find little or nothing to his direcs advantage in the Payne bill. If anything comes to him is will be throngh concessions on the pars of highly protected manafacturers in control of the home war. DR A do pie J ts rather t pr n the other band, the ‘‘unisimate consumer'’ is taxed, as heretofore on the bulk of import. ed commodities, and in addition muss pay a duty on tea, coffee, cocoa, all now on the free list. To offset this, he wuts some con- oessions on lumber and window glass. Fioally, the poor Filipinos are handed a beautiful lemon in free trade, with restric- tions that promise to make the sugar busi ness in islands a sors of gamble. Our im. portations of sugar not above 16 Datch standard from Se Philippine islands in the calendar year 1908 amounted to ap- proximately 500,000 tous or 200,000 tons in excess of the limit imposed in the Payne bill. Should sugar production in the islands continue to develop, the restrio- tion on imports of sugar therefrom simply means that a pars of the Philippine sugar will come in frae, and the remainder will have to pay the regular daty or seek a mar- ket elsewhere, No wonder a how! goes up from Manila exporters that the Filipinos are being shamefully treated in the Pa bill. They should reficot that it isa ill for the protection of American, not oriental industries. Hard On the Needy. From the Pittsburg Post, It in possible now for a man to eay, as Champ Clark said in Congress the other day, that the tar: is a tax, withous heing hooted by the protectionists. And they no longer try the fallacious argument advanc- ed in she McKinley daye, that the foreign. er pays this tax. Everyhody who thinks abous the matter knows that the American ae we Hero a bay by os on t r the importer and others, And the vicious thiog ahont this tax is it falls maoob harder on the individnal of small means than on the well-to-do. The hambler classes spend a very large propor- tion of their income on living expenses, clothing and shelter. The tariff bas taxed clothing, sugar and lamber, out of which the homes of the olasses are almost invariahly built. It proposes to tax tea, and levies, nnderhandedly, a tax on ooffee. In other things, people are expected to contribute according to their means, hat the tariff, even when for revenue, hases its demands upon the necessities of the people. This system makes afew millionaires «so fast they don’t know how to apend their money wisely. It keeps the rest of the country paying tribnte to them ; and the men dependent on them for work must guess how they will live from one years end to another. The Feuth , V Will Out From the Harrisburg Serindepoidons. Contemporaries that are always demand- ing expansion of the navy and insisting thas the t navy is so weak thas " .caunot defend she United States against the attack of any Power with a good navy, wre not always cousistens. They make the mistake of torgesting the country’s alleged weakness while extolling its strength. Thus the plan of Mr. Audrew Catuegie for an alliance of the United States and Great Britain is commended, and would be advocated if it did not involve a radical departure fiom the time honored American polis of avoidanee of entangling alliances. Tu case of such an alliance the United would defend Cavada and Great Britain would defend the ions of the nited States in the Orient. That it is said would be an easy thing for esoh of the Powers to do. A coutemporary that ia well pleased with the plan declares that “‘in such an evens the United Siates navy could be depended upon. to do a great dea: more than protect our coast line and that of Cavada,”’ Yet when there is talk of the necessity of ding u several great battleships annual 1y to the United States navy that same con- temporary says that the United States are now able to defend their own coass lines. Me. Taft's Preference. From the Springfield Republicpn. | Presidents Taft's studied preference for the ablest corporation lawyers finds far- ther expression in his selection of Lawyer Bowers of Chicago as the nex soliotor gen- eral of the United States. Lawyer Bowers comes from the legal department of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad and prob. ably the former general counsel of tbe Illinois Central, who is now secretary of war, recommended him highly. Mr. Tals must command admiration for his defiavce of the corporation prejudice of the conotry. He is evidently hunting for the best law- yers and kuwos where to find them.
