There would be a good deal of cause | hen But # wasp's |T is Yau
for rejoicing in the pubiished statement |
that Mr. Cox, Speaker of the House of |
Representatives at Harrisburg, will refuse |
to sign appropriation bills in excess of the
State revenues, if it were not so obvious-
ly absurd. The Speaker of the House the
presiding officer of the Senate and the |
Governor of the State ought to adopt |
such a rule of action, but they wil not. |
They are all under sworn obligation to
“support, obey and defend the constitu- |
i
tion” and that charter of authority for all i
legislation forbids the enactment of such :
laws. But neither of them will take the |
step to stop the evil which has come to
be a custom of the machine.
Governor STUART inaugurated one im-
portant reform in the matter of drawing |
funds from the treasury. That is to say
it had been the practice, previous to his !
time, to issue warrants on the treasury |
on the expectation or promise of future |
appropriations. Mr. STUART made a rule i
against this practiceand to the effect that |
nomoney should be paid until specific
appropriations had been made. That
caused considerable inconvenience to the
“small-fry” politicians who needed money
in advance of service as well as appro-
priation. But the bigger fish were not
affected and the innovation was permit-
ted to stand. The suggestion of Speaker
Cox is vastly different, however. That
would embarrass those “higher up” and
such things arenot permitted.
There is no political agency quite as
potential as that of enacting appropria-
tion bills in excess of the revenues, or at
least in excess of the estimated revenues.
It enables the political machine to prom-
ise any sort of favors to Senators and
Representatives in the Legislature in con-
sideration of their support of pet meas-
ures. Previous to the administration of
WILLIAM A. STONE such a thing was too
hazardous to be thought of but he flout-
ed the constitution and all other restric-
tions and opened the way for all the in-
iquities which have followed. Of course
PENNYPACKER, who is a sort of a moral
pervert, followed in the same line and
STUART, though he knew better, was
afraid to take the back track.
——Last week the WATCHMAN made
mention of the possible shortening of the
terms of some of our county, borough
and township officials through the opera-
tion of the election law that has done
away with the spring elections. In other
words, borough and township officials
whose terms would naturally expire the
first Monday in March next will go out of
office on the first day of January, 1912, if
an opinion of the law given by Jou G.
JOHNSON, the eminent Philadelphia at-
torney, is well grounded. This interpre.
tation of it would create an hiatus in the
terms of many officials and to prevent
such an unfair and undesirable condition
of getting the new law into complete
operation in the State Department has
prepared a bill to be presented to the
.Legislature which, if passed, will extend
the terms of all officials now holding
offices to cover the time that might elapse
between the expiration of their present
term and the beginning of that of their
successor. This would make councilmen,
supervisors, poor overseers, school di-
rectors, burgesses and all borough and
township officials whose terms expire in
the spring of 1912 hold over until the
first of January, 1913, just as those whose
terms are expiring this spring will hold
over until January, 1912. The most
sotable case in our county will be that
of the President Judge whose term will
be extended from 1915 to 1916.
Don’t Expect Too Much.
It isn’t safe to build too much upon the
early veto of items in the supplementary
appropriation bill by Governor TENER or
to look too confidently for political re-
generation in Harrisburg because he re-
buked a couple of machine emissaries
for over-zeal in pressing the bill for
another increase in the salary of judges.
The new Governor may reveal a good
deal of courage in dealing with unim-
portant questions but when it comes to
machine essentials he may be depended
upon to do what the bosses want. The
vetoed items in the appropriation bill
will be approved in another bill and the
judicial salary bill will be signed when it
reaches the executive in a leisurely way.
——If the money wasted in profligate
administration of the government at
Washington was left in the pockets of
those who earn it to be disbursed by
themselves in their own way the produc-
tivity of the soil would probably be so
vastly increased that we might continue
to be the granary of the world for years
to come. By the same token a depend-
ant for food is slow to wrath and our se-
curity against attack incident to such a

in the hope that the change would be
| beneficial to her health, which had not
been very good for some months. She
improved considerably and her death on
Saturday was quite sudden and unex-
pected. She had been a resident of Lock
Haven the past forty-seven years, her
husband during his life being one of the
leading jewelers of that town. She was
of the Hebrew faith and a woman whose
personality and kindly manner won her
many friends among all classes. She is
survived by four daughters, namely: Mrs.
Saul Cohn and Mrs. Austin Quigley, of
Coffeyville, Kan., and Misses Hannah and
Mary Goldstein, of Lock Haven. The re-
mains were taken to Lock Haven on
| Tuesday and the funeral held the same
