—__We shall read no more of Calvin
Coolidge, the former President. Not
that we don’t enjoy the occasional
news flashes of his meanderings
about Northampton but we just don’t
want to know too much about our
former President. When we read that
he fished for trout with worms we
pitied him. When the news came up
from Florida that he was sitting in
a blind, with a double barreled shot
gun waiting for a doe deer to come
in range we couldn’t believe it, On
Sunday we read that he leaves the
bands on his cigars when he smokes

At the Easter morning service
in one of the churches of Bellefonte
we saw the pastor baptise ten in-
fants. They ranged from a few
months to two years in age. Not one
of the tots whimpered when they
were taken from their parents arms
to be carried to the baptismal font.
In fact every one of them seemed to
go with expectant joy into the arms of
the officiating clergyman. It was an
unusual occurrence. In fact we might
be warranted in saying that it was
unprecedented—and why? We know
no other answer than that the clergy-
man must have that mysterious
something that children intuitivély
divine. That something that inspires
confidence and love in the hearts of
all of God's creatures before they
have come to the age of reasoning,
the faulty processes of which too of-
ten kill the beauteous nature with
which God endows all infants. Show
us the person to whom little tots and
dogs just naturally turn and we'll
show you a person who has some-
thing we covet—and it can’t be cul-

out of the leaders of those old flies
we caught more fish than all the fel-

The maturity date of the funded
debt of Bellefonte borough seems to
have been one of the least of the wor-
ries of council. Happily the sinking
fund had been properly maintained so
that when $75,000.00 of matured
bonds were unexpectedly presented,
Monday night, for payment council
was not thrown into panic because
the money was in bank to redeem
them. The balance of outstanding
bonds aggregate $18,000.00. While
there is no money in sight for their
redemption on presentation the
amount is not large enough to cause
much trouble in financing.
While the redemption of the last of
this issue of bonds will leave the bor-
ough without any funded debt we
have floating obligations to the
amount of $98,000.00. On this we
are paying interest charges at the
rate of five to six per cent. It would
appear to be the prudent and practic-
able thing for council
the tax payers to vote on a proposal
to make a new bond issue consolidat-
ing all the current indebtedness. Such
an issue could probably be floated at
four or four and one half per cent.
Certainly an interest rate to yield
not higher than five per cent. would

be attractive to investors looking for
such high grade securities. Such a
funding of the floating indebtedness
would be good financing in several
ways. It would reduce the annual
interest charge. It would relieve the
Finance committee and the Borough
Treasurer of the annoyance of month-
ly renewal of notes. It would make
it possible to make an assessment for
taxes on the borough indebtedness
that would be reasonably sure to
meet the annual requirements. It
would enable council to start with a
clean slate and give it opportunity to
prove, if it can, that it is competent
to run the borough on the sound
basis of making each year’s taxes
meet the expenses planned when they
are levied.
We believe that if a bond issue
sufficiently large to fund every note
outstanding, the balance due on the
Phoenix and Gamble mill properties;
with an allowance ample to electrify
the latter as well as provide a reason-
able working capital to tide over the
interim just prior to the tax payment
date, were floated it would be an
economic blessing to Bellefonte.
If this were done every taxpayer
would know exactly how much inter-
est tax should be raised. And we
think it would be materially less than
we are paying now. Also it would be
good business then to make each de-
partment of the borough's activities
—borough, street, water and interest,
stand on its legs. In other words, let
no department spend during the tax
year more than had been levied for
its maintenance ‘during that year.
This latter tendency explains why
there is so much floating indebtedness
to care for.
Council has failed to properly sur-
vey it’s possible problems of mainte-
nance, improvements and develop-
ments for the year ahead when it
fixes the millage. The result has been
that every department, with the ex-
ception of the Water, runs behind and
new notes are negotiated to make up
the deficiency. It would be far better
if such deficiencies were anticipated
in an increased millage rate, for the
taxpayers, themselves, would be more
concerned and want to know more
about why this and that is being
done.

Senator Scott Fathers New Highway
Bills.
State Senator Harry B. Scott has
introduced seven new State highway
bills in the Senate, five of them relat-
ing to new stretches of road in Clear-
field county and two in Centre coun-
ty. The latter two are designated as
Senate Bills 547 and 548. The first
provides for an important link begin-
ning at Runville, thence via Yarnell
and Romola to Eagleville. The sec-
ond would run from Old Fort west-
ward through Linden Hall and Oak
Hall to Lemont.
A stretch of highway in Centre
county which has already been placed
on the primary system is that down
Bald Eagle valley from Milesburg to
the Clinton county line, which wiil

ton county. Several other stretches
of road have been on the secondary
system for a year or more but so far
no work has been done on any of them.

that the highway situation will be
worked out before the Legislature

Improvement but not Perfection.
The special grand jury which inves-
tigated the vice conditions in Phila-
delphia completed its labors and sub-
mitted its report to the court last
week. It performed a long-drawn out
and exceedingly arduous public ser-
vice. Beginning in August of last
year it worked earnestly and efficient-
ly over a period of eight months and
revealed conditions which must have
shocked every right-minded man and
woman in the community. Corruption
pervaded every department of the
city government and levying graft
seems to have been the principal in-
dustry of the public officials. A part-
nership between criminals and politi-
cians was clearly exposed and the
people have been victims of a crimi-
nal conspiracy for years.
In its final report the jury ex-
presses regret that it was unable to
procure indictments against certain
The
refusal of witnesses to testify the
“whole truth” against the ‘higher-
ups” in the conspiracy defeated the
purpose. But it accomplished much
good. It broke up an unholy alliance
between a bank and a body of boot-
leggers, it drove out of office a com-
placent if not actually corrupt head
of the police department, it exposed a
lot of grafting policemen and sent
some of them to jail, it closed up a
large number of speak-easies and
compelled a number of party sub-
bosses to make a pretense of decent
behavior for a time, at least. These
achievements were worth the time
and expense they cost.
But they give little assurance of a
permanent cure of the moral mala-
dies with which Philadelphia is af-
ficted. The corrupt Vare machine is
still functioning and its purposes for
the futurue are no better than ite
practices in the past. The other day
the United States district attorney
for that district resigned and the in-
dications are that Mr. Vare’s person-
al attorney will be named to fill the
vacancy. To continue the improve-
ment effected by the grand jury it is
necessary that the federal and State
authorities cooperate in ‘a crusade’
against vice. With a servile Vare fol-
lower in the office of United States
district attorney there is little hope of
such collaboration. The machine
doesn’t want reform.

Regulating Coal and Iron Police.
Inasmuch as the Federation cf
Labor and the United Mine Workers
of America have approved the bill
sponsored by Representative Mus-
manno, of Allegheny county, amend-
ing the coal and iron police law, the
rest of us have little cause of com-
plaint. The measure limits the opera-
tions of private policemen to the prop-
erty of their employers, requires a
residence in the State of one year, re-
quires corporations employing them
to give a bond in the amount of $2000
for the good behavior of each man and
compels them to take prisoners they
arrest before a local magistrate or
public police station. These provi-
sions mark a great improvement
upon the practice of the last-quarter
of a century.
In supporting his bill Mr. Musman-
no said “the biggest trouble with the
coal and iron police was that in many
instances they were unprincipled ruf-
fians imported from other States
without regard to their previous his-
tory or character.” Asa rule they
served as strike breakers and trouble
makers rather than as peace officers
and their efficiency was measured by
their ruthlessness. They assumed the
right to go anywhere in the neighbor-
hood of their employment, make ar-
rests, searches and seizures without
warrant and exercise all the rights
and privileges of the State constabu-
lary, township and borough consta-
bles and municipal policemen. It was
high time to put a check on their
pernicious activities.
It is a dangerous thing to confer
police authority upon private corpora-
tions and individuals, however wor-
thy they may be of public confidence.
The police power of the State should
be held within the control of the
State. If Pennsylvania were bank-
rupt and unable to meet the proper
expenses of safe-guarding the per-
sons and property of the people there
might be some excuse for conferring
police power on corporations in emer-
gencies. But fortunately the State
is not reduced to such a state of
impecuniosity. It is able, and ought
to be willing, to fulfill its obligations
to the people and discharge its duties
to the taxpayers. For that reason
the proper thing to do is to abolish
the coal and iron police.
STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL ANION.
BELLEFONTE, PA.. APRIL 5. 1929.
| Admirable but Futile Action.
i The people of Williamsport are not
willing to let the recently proposed
inquiry into the activities of the Pub-
| lic Service Commission drop out of
| sight. For some months the people
| of that city have been trying to take
.over the Williamsport Water com-
pany. Six months ago the ‘question
was argued before the Public Service
| Commission but the decision of the
| question has not been handed down.
| Meantime, according to a petition
submitted to a committee of the
State Senate, the other day, $100,-
000 has been added to the original
cost of the water company property,
which under the process of acquisi-
tion will have to be paid by the city
if the decision is ultimately in its fa-
vor.
The petition of the city was pre-
sented to a special committee of Sen-
ators named for another but anala-
gous purpose. After stating that the
Public Service Commission is “wholly
indifferent to the interests of the city
of Williamsport and its inhabitants,”
the petition continues, “your petition-
ers are further of the opinion that
one of the reasons for the delay in
handing down a decision in said pro-
ceeding is, said Commission is fear-
ful lest as a result of the decision
it shall render in said case attacks
| will be made in the Legislature upon
the methods of procedure before said
Commission and amendments pro-
posed to the act creating said Com-
mission and procedure before it,
which would limit the power of said
Commission in such cases and take
from it part of the jurisdiction it now
holds.”
The intentions of the people of Wil-
liamsport are admirable but the ac-
tion will be futile. The Senators to
whom the petition = was presented
promptly replied they could do noth-
ing and that the process should be
by resolution instead of petition. A
resolution, if offered, will be referred
to a committee and pigeon-holed.

Fatal Weak Spots in Legislation.
Governor Fisher greatly encourag-
ed the mutilation of the voting ma-
chine enabling act when he declared
that “if there are any weak spots in
the measure they can be corrected in
the session of 1931.” There may have
been weak spots in the bill as it was
written by the non-partisan associa-
tion which prepared it. But there was
no misunderstanding of the purpose
they had in mind. It was to prevent
pollution of the ballot, if possible, or
to minimize it.
source of ballot frauds is in the so-
called “assistance to voters.” To cur-
tail that evil the original bill forbade
any
of the election board to enter the
booth with the voter for any purpose.
the amendment which authorizes any
voter to call into the booth with him
for the purpose of assisting him if he
be blind or so crippled as to be unable
to understand the process, any “qual-
ified elector” who happens to be pres-
ent. This is the weakness which
Governor Fisher condones for the
present because it may be corrected
in the future. But it in large mea-
sure defeats the purpose of the voting
machines. There will always be paid
party henchmen available for the ser-
vice and the orgie of fraud will go on,
notwithstanding the voting machine,
as it has gone on before.
The Republican machine managers
in Pennsylvania are unanimously and
unalterably opposed to effective bal-
lot reform legislation. They have
made a false pretense of approving
the voting machine enabling act for
two reasons. First they felt confident
that it could be so mutilated that it
would be worthless and second be-
cause they could use the bill as a buf-
fer to ward off just demands for oth-
er equally important ballot reform
legislation. Two years ago Governor
Fisher made similar pretense of fav-
oring ballot reform legislation and al-
lowed an unimportant improvement
to be made. He got a commission for
the purupose of delay then as he is
using the voting machine bill now.

Catholic Churches Join Near East
Relief Work.
The diocese of Altoona, in conjunc-
tion with other dioceses throughout
tne United States, will inaugurate
the third annual membership roll-cail
of the Catholic Near East welfare
association on Sunday, April 21, ac-
cording to plans now being formu-
lated in all Catholic churches of the
diocese. Bishop John J. McCort has
accepted the invitation of the Rev.
Edmund A. Walsh, S. J., presideat
of the association, to participate in
the organization’s annual appeal.
Particular interest attaches to the
this roil-call of the association, which
is sponsored by Pope Pius XI, in view
of this being the 50th anniversary of
the elevation of His Holiness to the
priesthood. As in former years funds
collected during the appeal will be
placed at the disposal of Pope Pius
who directs their disbursement
throughout the world in accordance
with a six-fold program of philan-
thropic effort. Relief, welfare, edu-
cation, international peace, religious
harmony and worldwide charities are
the benefactors of “The Holy Father's
Community Chest,” through which
American Catholic contributions to
this cause are distributed.
Since its inception three years ago
at the instance of Pope Pius, the
Catholic Near East welfare associa-
. tion has constantly tended to widen
its scope and multiply its activities.
Although its basic work is confined
to the Near East and Russian youths
in continental Europe exiled from
their native country because of po-
litical causes, the association has on
frequent occasions acted in grave
emergencies outside these confines.
Last September it assembled a med-
ical unit on twenty-four hours notice,
following the Porto Rico hurricane,
with the result that two doctors and
' six nurses were dispatched to the
stricken area where they were ac-
tually the first on the scene of the
disaster. In the same manner the
| association cabled a substantial sum
for the relief of earthquake victims
in Bulgaria, and is aiding in the re-
habilitation of the destitute families
"there now.

be appointed governor general of the

'tion that the party or the country
owes something to him. Just what
that debt is we have never been able
one other than a sworn member : to discover.

won notoriety as “the messenger
boy” who carried from the Secretary
of the Navy to the President the fa-
mous transfer of naval oil reserves to
| the Secretary of the Interior, which
i resulted in the Teapot Dome and Elk
| Hills scandals. He has been a direc-
| tor of the Sinclair Oil and Refining
! company
When the people of his own State
i of New York had a chance to vote
on him for Governor, they rejected
him. Why then foist him on the

thing in his training or experience
which would cancel some of his ob-
