Pennsylvania so dry that he can kick
up dust enough to blind the public to
the manner in which he settled the

than they ever got before.

$58,330.75 more taxes last year than

think they ought to have handled the

there is an acute shortage. The rea-

cause he hasn’t paid a State or county
tax for three years. The constitution
and the election laws say that none
but qualified voters may be candidates
for office and as a qualified voter is
one who has paid a State or county
tax within two years it looks rather
bad for Mr. Hughes, the Republican
candidate, who is out to beat Swabos-

ed in the Gazette last week Commis-

this paper with having forgotten that
their predecessors raised the valua-

We didn’t know, and don’t yet, that
they did. However that may be it
doesn’t refute our statement that un-
der the present board valuations have
been raised $1,775,750.00 and the tax
rate raised two mills. That is taking it
from the tax payers fore and aft. A
raise of over 12% in valuations and
33% in millage is going some.

there were bales of political tickets to

good job waiting for him in Williams-
port and volunteered to march right
into the polls and call for the needed
assistance, without even a look at the
notorious “blind horse” of the West
ward if the paper could be produced

when Leander came to claim the stake
—because he had won—we had no
ticket to Williamsport. All that was
left was one to Renovo, which he took
and departed in glee. Next day we
met him on the street and asked why
he quit his job so soon. With that
chuckle that only those who know Le-

Pinchot Increases Expenses.
If the figures of State Treasurer
Snyder are correct the salary account
of the State will be about $100,000
more under the Pinchot code than it
was under the old rules and rates. It
is true that some of the high salaries
have been reduced and some of the
low salaries increased. But what is
the use of all that if it saves nothing
to the tax payers. There was no pub-
lic complaint that any of the salaries
were too small. No trouble was ever
experienced in getting men to fill the
low salaried jobs. Some of the sal-
aries were far above the earning ca-
pacity of the men receiving them in
any other employment. Such salaries
as those ought to have been cut down.
The promise made by Gifford Pin-
chot, during his campaign for elec-
tion, was that he would clean up the
mess at Harrisburg. The most objec-
tionable feature of the mess was re-
dundant officials and exorbitant sal-
aries for those who stood in the fa-
vor of the bosses. Mr. Pinchot has
been in office for nearly a year and
nothing worth while has been done
toward cutting down the number of
needless offices and reducing the ex-
cessive salaries. It is a well known
fact that the number of officers might
be cut one-third without impairing the
efficiency of the service. Clerks in
some of the departments are in each
other’s road, but nothing has been
done to correct this fault.
While the code was pending in the
Legislature Mr. Pinchot assured the
public that the cost of government
would be greatly reduced by the class-
ification which the code contemplated.
Not only has this promise been vio-
lated but as a matter of fact, if
Treasurer Snyder tells the truth, the
cost of administration will be increas-
ed by the enormous sum of $100,000.
The decrease might have been effect-
ed easily by cutting out the needless
offices and cutting down the excessive
salaries. But nothing of the kind has
"| been done, except on paper, and re-
forms ‘on paper are of little value.
Probably the Governor thinks the peo-
ple of Pennsylvania like to be fooled.
Cc Ae
or a Judge in Centre county this fall.
All the tax payers are after are some
county officials who will look after lo-
cal business economically and effi-
ciently.
The Pinchot Code Affirmed.
The Dauphin county court has af-
firmed the validity of the administra-
tive code with reservations. That is,
the court declares that the Legisla-
ture had a constitutional right to en-
act the legislation embodied in the
code act but it is not certain that it
exercised the right in a legal manner.
This is somewhat equivocal but en-
tirely satisfactory to both sides. The
Governor said “the decision of the
Dauphin county court in sustaining
the validity of the administrative code
is highly gratifying to me.” State
Treasurer Snyder declared that “the
conclusion of the court as to the pow-
er of the Attorney General over the
Auditor General and State Treasurer
of course is satisfactory.” :
But the State Treasurer has taken
an appeal, nevertheless. Possibly he
hopes for a reversal by the Supreme
court, and apparently such a result of
the appeal. will not surprise the lower
court, for the presiding judge stated
that he would not only allow an ap-
peal but would grant a supercedeas in
case an appeal were taken. This may
be interpreted by Mr. Snyder not only
as a vindication but as a victory. His
purpose may have been only to em-
barrass the administration by with-
holding salaries of employees. The
supercedeas permits him to do this
until the matter is definitely settled
by the Supreme court and that may
be delayed for a considerable time.
Snyder is a funny fellow.
But if that was the influencing cause
of the litigation, or if the State Treas-
urer actually believed that the legis-
lation unlawfully and unjustly rob-
bed him of prerogatives guaranteed
by the constitution, the Attorney Gen-
eral stands defeated. He held that
the State Treasurer had no legal right
to appeal to the court as an official,
and that an appeal as a citizen made
him personally liable for the consid-
erable costs incurred in the action.
The decision of the Dauphin county
court overthrows that contention en-
tirely. The expense of the judicial
procedure will have to be paid by the
State and it will be greatly enhanced
by the fees of Treasurer Snyder’s
friendly counsel.

Ford Accuses Secretary Weeks.
For some reason the administration
at Washington has opposed the ac-
ceptance of Henry Ford’s offer to take
over the unfinished nitrate plant at
Mussel Shoals, Alabama. The plant
was begun during the war as an
emergency measure to supply the gov-
ernment with nitrates for use of the
army and navy. In the construction
work nearly $80,000,000 were expend-
ed and before completion of the pro-
ject the war ended, thus removing the
necessity for it. Following the close
of the war various plans for dispos-
ing of the plant were suggested but
none took practical form. It was
finally announced that unless. some
feasible means were brought forward
the work would be abandoned and the
expense charged to loss.
At this stage of the game Henry
Ford came forward with an offer to
take over the plant, complete it and
manufacture fertilizers at low cost
for the farmers of the country. This
at once aroused the opposition of the
organized fertilizer producers who :
have been charging exorbitant prices !
for their products for years, and
various schemes were undertaken to
prevent the sale to Mr. Ford, though
his offer was admitted to be fair. Fi-
nally the matter was referred to Con-
gress and there it met a lobby so for-
midable as to cripple it for the time
being and possibly strangle it for all
time. Among these was the sale of
an important part of the plant with
the expectation that the offer would
be withdrawn.
In a statement given to the public,
the other day, Mr. Ford declared that
politics are responsible for the oppo-
sition to his acquisition of the proper-
ty. He accuses Secretary of War |
Weeks with conspiring to defeat his |
plans in order to protect the fertilizer
trust in its franchise to loot the far-
mers, as they have been doing for the
past several years. Secretary Weeks
promptly issued a denial of the charge
but the circumstantial evidence in
support of Mr. Ford’s accusation is so
strong that only the most credulous
will be deceived by the Weeks’ state-
ment. At this distance from the cap-
ital it looks as if Ford’s fight against
Senator Newberry is responsible for
the present trouble.
Penn State defeated the Navy
last Saturday by the score of 21 to 3.
Our victory was not as impressive,
however, as the score might indicate
to those who did not witness the
game. Offensively the Navy was the
stronger team. She gained many
more first downs than State and com-
pleted far more forward passes. De-
fensively they might be rated by some
as on a par because neither was able
to cross the other’s goal line from
straight scrimmage, but it must not
. be forgotten that the Navy went
i through State’s line for two marches
almost the entire length of the field
and State never made two first downs
in succession. It was a brilliant
game, however. Clean and interest-
ing. And while the three scores made
by our team were thrillingly spectac-
ular we shudder to: think what might
have been the result had we not gone
into the second half with fourteen
points sewed up through breaks that
happen rarely. Im fact we don’t re-
call that State has scored from a kick
off since Killinger did it in New
York and “Shorty” Miller’s historic
performance of two such feats at
Penn some years ago.

Centie County Bank Case.
On Monday the United States Su-
preme court granted the petitions of
.| Florence F. Dale, Andrew Breese and
George R. Meek praying for a writ of
certiorari.
The petition was presented to the
Supreme court on Monday, October
8th. The next morning the Public
Ledger announced, among its legal
news, that it had been denied. This
gave rise to a popular impression that
the petitions had been summarily
thrown out of court. The “Watch-
man,” being reasonably sure that suth
was not the case, made no report of
the occurrence. It would have been a
very unusual procedure for the Su-
preme court, in fact almost a physic-
al impossibility. The local attorneys
who were interested in the case were
in the court room until one o’clock. It
was then filled with others waiting to
present causes to. the bench... The Su-
preme court adjourns at 3:15 so that
persons familiar with its practice
were certain that it could not have
disposed of all the business before it
for that afternoon and taken up the
Covie County bank case specially as
well. Hi
The error probably was caused by
the Ledger’s Washington correspond-
ent. In reporting the local cases, he
evidently got them in among the pe-
titions that had been presented at an
earlier session and were *
