to infer that he cut $3000.00 from ‘the
bill for Centre County hospital because
it was “absurdly in excess of possible
needs.” The Governor has many
friends and admirers in Centre coun-
ty. Is there one of them who will
write us a letter stating that we are’
doing him an injustice when we say
that he talks like a nit wit when he

STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION.
BELLEFONTE, PA... A] APRIL 17, 1925.
NO. 16.
w arren and Myers Cases Not Alike.
The labored effort of some Republi-
can contemporaries to establish an
analogy between the refusal of the
Senate to confirm the nomination of
Charles S. Warren, of Michigan, to
the office of Attorney General, and
the action argued in the Supreme
court on Monday incident to the re-
moval of Frank Myers from the office
of postmaster of Portland, Oregon, :
by President Wilson in 1917, is abso-
lutely futile. Mr. Warren failed of
confirmation because in the opinion
of a majority of the Senators he was
unfit for the office.
he had long been closely identified .
with the Sugar trust, not-as a lawyer
but as an agent, in its efforts to
stifle competition and create a
monopoly. The government is in liti-
gation with the Sugar trust and the |
Attorney General would have charge
of the proceedings.
The right of the Senate to refuse
confirmation of Mr. Warren was
never challenged by anybody except
the President himself, and he dcesn’t
seem to know much about the sub-
ject. It was asserted by Senators
favorable to confirmation that it has
been customary to allow the President
free choice in the selection of his
cabinet. But that custom grew upon
the theory that the President would
select fit men for the service. There
had been exceptions to the rule and
the records show that the public in-
terests would have been conserved
if there had been more of them. In
any event the constitutional right of
the Senate to reject a nomination
by the President for a cabinet office
was not involved, nor was the ques-
tion of a conflict of authority between
the President and Senate raised, di-
rectly or indirectly.
In the Myers case, on the other
hand, that is the sum and substance
of the controversy. Mr. Myers sued
the government for salary covering
‘the period from the date of removal
to the time his term would have ex-
pired, on the ground that a dismissal
from office as-well as an appointment
to office mus be confirmed by the
- of Claims, in which
the suit was “tried, @etided against
Mr. Myers and he appealed to the
Supreme court where the question
was argued on Monday. The decis-
ion of the court has not been handed
down: at this writing and the result’
is still in conjecture. But there is
certainly an absénce of similarity be-.
tween the issues involved in the two
cases. The Myers case directly de-
nies a prerogative frequently exer-
cised by the President. The Warren
case doesn’t even touch that question.
Childish Threat of the Governor.
The “comedy of errors” in Harris-
burg has developed a new and some-
what startling feature. The Governor
threatened to veto the appropriation
to the sesqui-centennial as an expedi-
ent to punish the Legislators of that
city for opposing his pet measures.
It is a contemptible prostitution of
power, of course, but not altogether
surprising. The Governor is a selfish,
false pretender of such limited vision
that even so absurd a proposition
might appeal to him. In any event
the threat serves to reveal him in his
real character. He is simply a politi-
cal huckster whose stock in trade is
public patronage and official favor
which he offers in exchange for per-
sonal service.
The State of Pennsylvania, by res-
olution of the Legislature of 1921
and 1923, stands committed to spon-
sorship of the sesqui-centennial. Upon
that sponsorship Congress authorized
the President to invite the civilized
world to participate in its activities.
The sister States of the Republic have
been similarly urged to contribute to
its success. As an evidence of good
faith and token of sincerity the Leg-
islature of this year properly voted
an appropriation of one million dol-
lars to defray the expenses of partic-
ipation. It might have doubled the
amount and remained within the limit
of propriety. But the Governor
threatens to veto the bill because he
is peeved over his failure to control
the Legislature.
What a spectacle of hopeless idiocy
is expressed in this childish gesture?
The honor of the State would be out-
raged, the faith of the people flouted
if this threat were fulfilled, and for
no other reason than that a majority
of the Senators and Representatives
in the General Assembly exercised
their absolute right to disagree with
the Governor. It may be, and proba-
bly is true, that the Senators and
Representatives were influenced by
selfish motives in their action. But
their wrong doesn’t justify the in-
finitely greater wrong which the Gov-
ernor threatens to perpetrate. It
serves the purpose of a “card index”
to classify the mental and moral stand-
ard of the Governor of the State.
'—The best job work done here.
It was proved that
Bitter Fight Ended in Compromise.
After prolonged and bitter wrang-
ling the conference committee on the
general apropriation bill submitted its
report to the House of Representa-
tives in Harrisburg, on Morday even-
ing. It provides for a decrease of the
Senate bill of $291,620 and an increase
i of $9,148,495.00 over the original
{ House bill. The Senate acted upon
the measure while public indignation
| over the meager allowance for educa-
tional purposes was active and the
Governor had the Vare-Grundy ma-
chine on the run. The conference ac-
tion was taken after more mature de-
liberation and in the face of partially
restored confidence of the machine
managers. It leaves something for
the Governor to do in balancing the
! receipts and expenditures.
The Governor estimates that the
appropriations, including the general
1 { bill as framed by the conference com-
| mittee, will exceed the revenues for
the biennium by something like $10,-
000,000. The Legislators propose to
increase the revenues by more than
that amount through the extension of
the emergency tax en gasoline, the
bill providing for a part of the na-
tional inheritance tax and the bill pro-
viding for a uniform tax on book val-
ue of capital stock. The Governor is
not persuaded that these measures
will produce adequate revenues to bal-
ance the accounts, especially if the
sesqui-centennial million dollar ap-
propriation is approved, and public
opinion demands approval of that
measure. .
In the Senate bill the hopes of the
State administration is clearly ex-
pressed. The budget provision for the
Attorney General’s department was
adopted and practically everything the
Governor asked for except the half
million dollars for enforcement of the
Volstead law was allowed. But the
conference bill cuts the appropriation
for the Department of Justice, reduces
that for the state police and slices
that for fighting the Japanese beetle.
Obviously these cuts were made in or-
der that the Governor might come to
all the Legislature controls the purse
and will hold to its Prerogative to the
end.
pital were short lived. The Legisla-
stead of $10,000, as it had been. The
nal figure, which means that this com-
munity will have to contribute that
much more toward the maintenance
deficit.
Pinchot’s Radiant Opportunity.
If the Governor doesn’t overlook a
brilliant opportunity he may cut the
expenses of the State considerably by
the use of his ever ready pen. The
bill increasing the salaries of the
judges is before him, if he has not al-
ready disposed of it, and a veto of that
measure would inflict no great hard-
ship on anybody and would go a con-
siderable way toward balancing the
books. While the measure was on
final passage in the Senate, on Mon-
day evening, Senator Barr, of Pitts-
burgh, declared that “the increases
would run several hundred thousand
dollars a year and would amount to
more than the State has to pay at the
present time.” He failed to influence
the Senators but the Governor might
adopt his view.
If the judges of Pennsylvania were
an overworked and poorly paid bunch
of public servants there would be rea-
son as well as justice in helping them
to fight the high cost of living. Or if
they had been forced against their
promise of future increase in pay to
“don the ermine,” a moderate increase
in salary would be a graceful expres-
sion of appreciation of faithful serv-
ice. But none of these reasons are
given, either by the judges themselves
or their friends, for the increased rec-
ompense provided in the Neeley bill.
In most of the judicial districts the
office is a dignified and leisurely em-
ployment, inviting and even alluring
to most any lawyer at the bar.
There are a whole lot of things
more deserving of financial ‘aid than
the judges. It was alleged by sev-
eral speakers during the considera-
tion of the bill in the General Assem-
bly that the judges of Pennsylvania
are the best paid jurists in the coun-
try. This may not be literally true.
In fact we have reason to believe that
judicial salaries are higher in New
York. * But those in Pennsylvania are
certainly paid enough to “keep the
wolf from the door,” if ordinary pru-
affairs. In any event it is safe to say
that the “several hundred thousand
dollars” referred to by Senator Barr
| might. be appropriated to better pur-
pose than increasing salaries already
generous.

Women Voters League Disappoint-
ment.
The fair and faithful head of the
Pennsylvania League of Women Vot-
ers is justly indignant because 4 con-
siderable number of the Republican
Representatives in the General As-
sembly who had promised to vote for
the Ludlow tax bill, which was defeat-
ed last week by an overwhelming ma-
jority, voted against the measure.
The president of the League has a
list of these untruthful and recreant
statesmen and is seriously considering
the question of publishing the names
to the world. It would make an inter-
esting roster for the time being and
a useful list for future lobbyists or
others interested in legislation. It is |
to be hoped the publication will be
made.
The trouble with the Pennsylvania
League of Women Voters is that they
take themselves too seriously and are’
a trifle credulous besides. The chances
are ten to: one that the thirty-six
members of the House who promised
to vote for the Ludlow bill were sim-
ply “kidding” the charming women
who solicited their support of the
measure and never intended to vote
for it at all. It is believed by the
average Legislator to be an easy as
well as a pleasing thing to promise to
vote for any measure the lady is in-
terested in. She takes the promise
as a sacred pledge and is happy and
satisfied with the result of her labors.
Then when the vote is counted she is
disappointed and correspondingly de-
pressed.
But the recreant Legislator don’t
mind the disappointment. He under-
stands that it is only a temporary de-
pression of mind and will be forgot-
ten the next time she is anxious for.
his support, and will accept his re-
newal of the promise as cheerfully as.
she was grateful the first time. Be-

who compose the League will be on

Delightful Weather but Poor Trout
Fishing Wednesday.
The laws of compensation always
inure to the advantage of the inno-
cent and weak and the only “poor
fish” on Wednesday were the hun-
dreds of big, able bodied men who so
persistently whipped the various trout
streams of Centre county, hour after
hour, and returned home in the even-
ing thoroughly tired out with a few
tiny trout.
The weather was all that could be
desired. It was warm enough to be
comfortable and after a small shower
or two in the morning cleared up and
was sunshiny all day. But the fisher-
men must have some excuse so they
blame their poor luck on the clear, low
water. So far as the writer has been
able to learn not a single record catch
was made. Some of the best fisher-
men in Bellefonte tried their luck on
Spring creek and Logan’s branch, and
most of them came home without a
single trout. A few trout were
caught, of course, but not enough to
depopulate the streams to any extent.
The many Bellefonters who jour-
neyed to Fishing creek for the open-
ing of the season had no better luck
than : those who fished hereabouts.
That famous stream was thronged
with fishermen and the result was no-
body made big catches.
Keeping Dairy Cattle Pays.
While in Bellefonte last week a

——Borough manager J. D. Seibert

drain the spring. While it is a matter:
of record that the flow of the spring

there has always been more or less
speculation as to the correctness of
the above figures. Most everybody in
Bellefonte knows the size of the big
spring and after it was properly
cleaned on Saturday contractor Ben-
jamin Bradley decided to time the fill-
ing of it and it took just sev-
en and a half minutes from the time
the flood gates were lowered until the:
