Faults of the Highway Department! AR
The Highway Department of Penn-
sylvania has achieved splendid re-
sults, in construction and mainten-
ance of highways, and it is only faint
praise to say that in this respect it
is beyond criticism. But these ex-
cellent results have been accomplished
at an immense expense to the people
of the State. From unofficial but de-
pendable sources it is learned that
from 1911 to 1923 the Highway De-
partment disbursed $180,000,000, and
from 1923 to 1925 it spent $68,078,-
864.16, making a total of nearly a
quarter of a billion dollars within a
period of 15 years. There is no pub-
lished .record of the expenditures of
the Department between 1925 and the
present time, but it may be assumed
that the ratio has not materially
diminished.
There is probably no just reason
for complaint of the cost of the oper-
ations of the Department, however.
The improvement of the highways of
the State is fair recompense for the
investment. It is claimed, and with
reason, that at this time Pennsylva-
nia has, as.good, if not better, roads
than any other State in the country.
The advantages of ‘this are various
and palpable. The farmer, the mer-
chant, and ‘manufacturer and in fact
every element of the people, have:
shared in. the benefits of improved
highways to the full measure of their
share in the expense. Besides the
reputation of the State for high
ideals and correct business principles
is greatly enhanced. It may be said,
therefore, that the money was wisely
spent.
But in some respects the Highway
Department is not above criticism.
Its methods of administration are, in
some respects, far from commend-
able. In an address delivered before
the Pennsylvania Motor Federation
at Uniontown, the other day, State
Treasurer Samuel S. Lewis, after re-
ferring to some delinquencies in Cid
system, said: = “Money is plentiful
and the main business is to spend it.
Hence salaries increase, positions in-
crease, favoritism flourishes, organi-
zation becomes luxurious and rank,
routine piles upon routine, jealousies
are rampant and red tape intertwines
and en ‘everything. In. general,
the law inishing returns asserts
itself and the only thing that saves
the day i is the fact that no accounting
is required. ”
rG0ud men are frequently “loved
for the enemies they have made.”
When Prince Henry, of Germany,
dodged a tribute to Von Hindenberg
on Monday, he made hosts of admir-
ers for the President of Germany.
Shop Worn Defense of Crime.
When the late and unlamented Boss
Tweed’s operations in looting the city
of New York, hal” a century ago,
were exposed, his only reaction to the
charge of corruption was a sniveling
complaint that denouncing his admin-
istration was damaging the reputa-
tion of the city. His imitators, in
whatever section of the country they
have been found, have been able to
frame no better defense since, though
progress has been made in every
other direction. The Vare machine,
in Philadelphia, professed to be
greatly distressed when a somewhat
famous sociological analyst pro-
nounced that city “corrupt and con-
tented.” Such accusations against a
community, true or false, they pro-
tested, would destroy business.
Recently an organization has been
created in Pittsburgh called the Citi-
zens’ League, the purpose of which
is to force a severance of what seems
to be a secret compact between the
municipal officials and criminals of
the city. An investigation of the
subject has convinced the League that
vice is not only protected but encour-
aged by those in authority, and in
pursuance of its moral obligations the
fact has been publicly declared. The
answer is that “the crusaders are
giving the city a black eye.” Follow-
ing that line of reasoning condemn-
ing murder, or burglary or arson
would damage the reputation of the
community in which such crimes are
perpetrated.
Commenting upon this declaration
of the League and the response of
the authorities the Pittsburgh Post
says: “What injures the fair name
of a city is toleration by the citizens
of a betrayal by the public officers
entrusted with law enforcement.
Then such a city gets the name of
being ‘corrupt and contented.’ The
more the Citizens’ League does to the
vice-protecting public officers the bet-
ter will the fair name of Pittsburgh
be served.” This summation of the
case leaves little to add. No com-
munity will suffer in reputation or
business that holds its administrators
to the enforcement of the criminal
laws, and no community will gain re-
spect by protecting criminals and en-

STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION.
BELLEFONTE, PA. JUNE 3. 1927.
Shand the Fruitless Efforts. 1
There appears to be a concerted
effort on the part of the Republican
leaders throughout the country to:
fasten on the public mind the impres-
sion that the industrial and commer-:
cial life of all sections are in a highly
prosperous condition. The so-called |
experts in finance and the statisti-
cians in business dwell fondly on this:
theme and invariably ascribe the hap-
py situation to the masterly manage-
ment of President Coolidge. Occa-
sionally one of them wil! admit that
the Federal Reserve banking system
has helped some and that here andj
there may be found an unfortunate.
community which is not sharing in}
the harvest of prosperity. This, of |
course, is to persuade every neighbor- |
hood that all other communities are
basking in the sunlight of plenty. E
At the outset of this enterprise in-
tended to “fool most of the people all
the time” Judge Gary, of the Steel |
trust, Mr. Schwab, of the Bethlehem ar
corporation, a few of the railroad |
presidents and a number of others, |
including Henry Ford, were induced |THg
to address the public in oral or writ- | €%is
ten statements, giving assurance of |
present prosperity, auspicious condi- "Trea:
tions for the future and eulogizing | creas
the President and Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon as the cause of these |
benevolent prospects. Then the ex-
perts were summoned into service to
paint rosy pen pictures of abundance | 0
to come to everybody during the next |
few years. The condition is always |t
that the present | Uf
asserted, however,
economic policies must be maintained
at Washington.
Unhappily the facts fail to support
these hopeful statements and predic-
tions. It is true that some of the
transportation corporations have been
able to declare big dividends and en-
gage to make extensive improve-
ments, and that a few of the larger
monopolies have been able ta “cut
juicy melons” within a few months.
But the records show that the country
at large is not in a prosperous con-
dition and that in both industrial and
commercial life the rewards of honest
effort are below the average of recent
years. Even in Pennsylvania, where
industry flourishes, if anywhere, the
‘Department of ~Eabor and - Ind hg ved mm
shows a considerable falling = off/as
compared with the record of last year.
The effort to fool the public may as
well be abandoned.
Millions of men and: women of
races other than his own* will join
in hope for the recovery of Nathan
Straus, of New York, critically ill.
Wise Move to Secure Justice.
The Senatorial Slush Fund commit-
tee was wise in taking steps to pre-
vent the destruction of ballots used in
the Senatorial election last year in Al-
legheny, Delaware, Lackawanna, and
Schuylkill counties. The attempt of
the Senate committee to impound the
ballot boxes in those counties has
been so stubbornly resisted by the
Republican organization of the State,
and the removal of them to Washing-
ton so needlessly delayed by the
courts, that their use as evidence in
the contest of William B. Wilson
against William S. Vare, is imperiled.
Under the law they may be legally
destroyed in November of this year
unless prevented by a court order.
That might cause a miscarriage of
justice.
The Philadelphia ballot boxes used
at that election are safely stored
away in Washington, but the Republi-
can leaders hope they will not reveal
sufficient fraud to overcome the ma-
jority returned for Vare and the Slush
Fund committee desires to reinforce
the evidence they will disclose by
proofs of frauds in the four other
counties named. Apparently Mr.
Vare’s friends are afraid that such
reinforcement will prove that Mr.
Wilsen had a clear majority of the
votes honestly cast at the election in
question and have exhausted every
expedient to prevent a recount of the
votes. The plan adopted by the Sen-
ate committee will guarantee the re-
count or expose the partisan bias of
the courts.
As a precautionary measure it
might be well to adopt some plan to
safeguard the boxes which have been
impounded but not yet removed into
the custody of the Senate. There are
some politicians in each of the coun-
ties concerned so adept in committing
ballot frauds that they may find a
way to alter the ballots so as to make
it appear that the original returns
were comparatively correct. Such
crimes have been committed in all
the voting districts under suspicion,
and there never was greater reason,
from a partisan standpoint, for such
an outrage than now. The ousting of
Vare and the seating of Wilson would
change the political Roriplexion of the

When Pennsylvania Opposed Third
Term.
From the Pittsburgh Post.
Elsewhere on this page will be
found a communication dealing: with
the period in which Pennsylvania Re-
publicans and Democrats alike fought
the Presidential “third term” idea.
The Pennsylvania Republican state
convention in 1875 adopted a strong
resolution against more than two
terms, and this brought a letter from
President Ulysses S. Grant in which
he gave his idea on the subject. It
was not, however, until 1880 that the
“third term” issue, with Grant a can-
didate after an intervening term, was
fought to a finish in the Republican
National convention, Garfield, a “dark
horse,” receiving the nomination on
the thirty-sixth ballot.
It may be pointed out that while
Pennsylvania led in 1875 in opposi-
ion to a “third term,” it was carried
in 1912 by Roosevelt, who had served
practically two terms before, but the
vote that year, on account of the Re-
publican pary split and three major
tickets in the field, was scarcely a
test of the point in the sentiment of
the State. While Roosevelt carried
Pennsylvania, the combined vote of
the State against him was 327,948 in
excess of his vote, and he failed in the
popular vote of the country as Grant
had in the convention.
Motoring Tests and Arrests.
From the Pittsburgh Post.
Sane users of the highways of
Pennsylvania will see much hope of
improvement in motoring conditions
in two reports issued from Harris-
burg yesterday. One has to do with
the high standard of proficiency de-
manded of drivers and shows that 31,-
683 persons who applied for operators’
licenses in April, 5,445 were rejected,
an average of one in every six, main-
taining the rate of March, when only
19,796 applied. The increase in the
number of new motorists draws at-
tention to the fact that the season is
climbing to its peak, with the need
for extreme caution becoming great-
er with each day. The second report
deals with arrests on the highways in
April. The State’s patrols held 1,415
persons for violations and these ‘had
‘to pay $18,959 in fines."
These reports demonstrate that law
enforcement ' for: safety is gaining
