THE NEW CODE A LAW
FOR PENNSYLVANIA.
May Effect Many Centre Countians.
With the lily-white banner of the
Pinchot political purists floating
proudly from the smokestack the ad-
ministration steam roller crashed
through the House last Friday, leav-
ing a flattened opposition in its wake
and forcing final passage of the reor-
ganization code in record-breaking
time. All debate on the measure was
stifled, as strong-arm methods were
threatened, and when the roll-call was
taken the bill went over by a vote of
148 to 32.
The Senate concurred in amend-
ments by a 39 to 0 vote, and the biil
became a law at 4:30, when Governor
Pinchot affixed his signature, but it
doesn’t become effective. until June 15.
Under its provisions the State govern-
ment is to be reorganized along lines
that Governor Pinchot believes will re-
sult in efficient and economical man-
agement of the public business. Pro-
vision is made for the merging of
certain bureaus and the abolition of
others, while the number of employees
will be materially reduced, according
to the expectation of the Governor’s
supporters.
Just before the bill was passed final-
ly, Representative Alexander, of Del-
aware, who fought it from the begin-
ning, laid the foundation for a Court
attack by filing objections that will
appear in the official record of the pro-
ceedings. He and other opponents of
the measure maintain some of its pro-
visions are unconstiutional. Alexan-
der also insists that it was passed in
an illegal manner and that constitu-
tional guarantees were flouted in the
zeal of the Pinchot cohorts to jam it
through the House.
“It was agreed some time ago by
Auditor General Lewis, Secretary of
Internal Affairs Wodward and myself
that we would take the matter into
Court, and we will have some of the
ablest lawyers in the State to repre-
sent us,” said State Treasurer Snyder
Monday night. “We will oppose any-
thing in the code that takes from us
any of the powers we now have.”
Twenty Democrats and twelve Re-
publicans provided the comparatively
negligible opposition to the passage
of the measure. The fight in its fa-
vor was directed in the main by John
M. Flynn, of Elk, Democrat and lieu-
tenant of Joseph R. Grundy, presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Manufactur-
ers’ Association. Thus it happened
that the Grundy element, which made
possible the nomination of Governor
Pinchot, again came to the rescue in
time of need.
To make passage possible, however,
it was necessary for the Governor to
gain the support of Senator Vare and
other leaders of the old organization
that the Governor promised to put out
of business while “cleaning up the
mess.” Reports haveit that several
deals were engineered in order to in-
duce Vare and other Philadelphia
bosses to turn in the entire del-
egation. Considerations that are cx-
pected to have some bearing on the
forthcoming mayoralty campaign are
understood to have been at the bottom
of the arrangements.
But, deal or no deal, the bill, with
its provisions that many believe will [*
set up a sort of absolute monarchy in
Pennsylvania, is now a law. Under
its terms the Executive will be in the
position of a dictator.
unquestioned control over thousands
of job holders and the authority the
code neglects to grant with respect to
elective officials can be assumed read-
liy because of the fiscal domination it
places in the hands of the Governor.
Immediately after its passage in the
House the code was dispatched to the
Senate for concurrence in amend-
ments. This procedure took only a
few minutes, and before 1 o’clock it
had been signed by Senator Eyre,
president pro tem of the Senate, and
Speaker Goodnough. Then it went to
the office of the Secretary of the Com-
monwealth and finally to the Governor
for his signature.
According to Special Attorney Gen-
eral Schnader, the code contains the
following outstanding features:
Reduces the number of independent
spending agencies of the State gov-
ernment from 102 to 21 responsible
departments or commissions.
Reorganizes the entire State gov-
ernment along the lines adopted by Ill-
inois, Massachusetts and other States.
Creates a new Department of Prop-
erty and Supplies, which will act as a
purchasing agency for the various de-
partments, boards and commissions of
the State government, with power to
establish standards and do the State’s
purchasing along business-like lines.
Combines in the Department of For-
ests and Waters the activities of the
State government which deal with the
State’s forests, the conservation and
development of the State’s water re-
sources and the geologic survey.
Places in the Department of Public
Instruction instead of in the Depait-
ment of Welfare the two State insti-
tutions for the deaf at Scranton and
Philadelphia, respectively, and the
Pennsylvania Soldiers’ Orphan schools.
Abolishes all existing boards of
trustees of State penitentiaries, hos-
pitals and correctional institutions and
directs the Governor as of June 15 to
appoint new boards of trustees, each
consisting of nine members and places
all such boards in the Department of
Welfare.
Makes possible the standardization
of the salaries of State employees in
those departments the heads of which
are appointed by the Governor.
Eliminates unnecessary boards,
commissions, and offices. Provides
that the various departments, boards
and commissions shall co-operate with
each other for the purpose of elimi-
nating duplication of functions and
the employment of assistants and the
use of quarters and equipment.
Places in the Department of Public
Instruction all professional examining
boards.
Provides for a State budget.
Makes possible economy in admin-
istration and provides for responsible
fiscal control through the Governor.
The new Act will become a law
on June 15th. Aside from its gen-
eral effect on the economic conduct of
the State government it will have a
direct bearing on two Centre county
institutions and indirectly reflect a
new order of things on two others.
The Governor is empowered to ap-
He will have
point new trustees, both for the new
western penitentiary and the Cottage
State hospital at Philipsburg, both of
which institutions will pass under the
complete control of the Department of
Public Welfare, of which Dr. Ellen
Potter is the head. She will also have
indirect control of the Bellefonte hos-
pital.
Our Member, the Hon. Thomas Bea-
ver, voted for the passage of the code.
As to the effect of the Governor's
possible action Bellefonters will be in-
terested in the Huntingdon Reforma-
tory of which the Hon. A. G. Morris
is president, with James W. Herron,
superintendent. Of course any obser-
vations we might make would be
merely conjectural but we are of the
opinion that no changes of conse-
quence will be made there.
It will not surprise us, however, if a
radical change is made at Rockview.
One that may upset the present or-
ganization entirely.

The Sugar Duty.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Sugar refiners say that the price of
sugar would be reduced nearly two
cents a pound if the duty were remov-
ed. Under the elastic tariff the Pres-
ident could reduce the price about the
amount of the duty. But that would
throw away revenue. A reduction of
a cent in the tariff would probably re-
duce the price a cent, and it would
have little effect upon the revenue, be-
cause the present rate of duty discour-
ages consumption and, of course, that
will reduce importation.
There is no revenue from domestic
sugar. In so far as the duty checks
importation it sacrifices revenue for
the sake of throwing more business
to the beet sugar producers. They
have almost a monopoly in the Middle
West, and they wanted a bigger
amount of the business on the sea-
board. Hence, the duty on sugar was
increased when the Cuban sugar
planters refused to curtail their acre-
age in order to reduce production and
make it easier to push the price up.
But the President will not reduce
the duty on sugar because that would
give away the whole protectionist
sugar, and the price came down pre-
cisely the amount of the duty. The
duty was imposed by Congress for the
specific purpose of enabling+the sugar
interests to raise the price. But if
the duty were suspended and the price
came down everybody would see just
how the tariff works. This would
make a low tariff almost certain, and
it would defeat the Republican party,
which has committed itself to the very
highest sort of protection.
In the opinion of the President it
is better that the people should pay
an unreasonable price for sugar than
that they should be allowed to see the
relief afforded by removing a tariff
duty. The housekeepers are very well
aware that they pay the tax, but the
Republican party is committed to the
fantastic notion that “the foreigner
pays the tax,” and it would never do
to advertise the truth. So in an effort
to enrich the beet sugar interests and
maintain the prestige of protection,
the American housewives will contin-
ue to pay the tax.
