THE ROAD BILL VETOED.
GOVERNOR PATTISON SAYS THK Oil
JKCTIONS AkE MlMFut.l).
Governor 1'attison Jus sent to the
Senate his veto of what is commonly
known as the Road Jijll. c saj(.
"The objections to this -measure
seem to nie to l,e manifold. Its Pur
poses are so numerous and diverse as
to expose it to the Constitutional ob
jection of containing more than one
subject. Whatever popular demand
exists for the enactment of legislation
on the subject of roads and road mak
ing will certainly not be satisfied with
the provisions of this bill. If they are
to become effective at all, they could
be made so only by liberal appropria
tion of State moneys, for which neither
this bill nor any other legislation, as
yet enacted, has made provision. Kvcn
if such grant were made it is very
doubtful whether the plan of distribu
tion proposed by this bill would b
equitablc,satisfactory or Constitutional.
The basis of distribution which it pro
iioscs is the amount of road taxes col
lected and expended by each township
for road purposes during the preced
ing year. This would put it entirely
within the power of rich and populous
rural districts, su h, for example, as
adjoin large cities and boroughs, to le
ceive a large share of the State's
bounty, which would be applied where,
)crhaps. it was least needed for the
purposes of general road improvement,
while remote, sparsely settled and
comparatively poor districts, where
road improvements were most desired,
would receive little or comparatively
noth tig.
"Moreover, the policy and propriety
of the grant of State moneys raised by
general taxation to particular districts
or communities are extremely doubt
ful, if not absolutely forbidden by the
spirit of the constitutional provisions
declaring that there shall be no ap
propriation for benevolent purposes to
any community, and that the Com
monwealth shall not assume the debt
of any city, county, borough, or town
ship. , The present enactment propos
es to distribute to some of the districts
of the State, for a purely local purpose
that of road making moneys which
have been raised by taxation upon all
the citizens of the State. The roads
of the townships only are to be con
structed and repaired by the aid of the
State moneys, while those of munici
palities are to be provided for by local
taxation. This is a description wholly
unwarranted by the Constitution.
"Furthermore, I cannot ignore the
fact that this bill passed the House of
Representatives by a bare constitut
ional majority. ' That majority, it is
notorious, was only secured with great
difficulty, arid I violate no confidence
in saying that since its passage in the
one branch of the General Assembly
a number of members, whose votes
were required to make that majority,
have communicated to me their oj
position to and protest against the bill
in its present form. Of the 103 mem
bers who comprised this majority,
barely one-fifth represent districts af
fected by the bill. It was imposed
upon the communities affected by it
against the votes and protest of a large
proportion of their representatives.
Finally, if there were no other ob
jections to this bill, a sufficient one
would be afforded by the fact that
there are at present special and local
road laws to the number of 700, gov
erning as many townships of the State.
If the present bill is to have any effi
ciency it must result from its opera
tion as a general road law, binding at
least on all the townships of the State.
The section which proposes to repeal
all special and local laws mconsistent
with it is not sufficient for that pur
pose according to the decisions of our
Supreme Court. If they remain, as
they certainly will under the bill in its
present form, it will uterlly fail as a
measure to secure uniformity of road
law. Other reasons forcibly suggest
themselves for a disapproval of this
measure, but I deem those which I
have set forth as ample to justify a
veto of the bill."
Care of The Hair.
The hair, like every other portion of
the human frame, if uncared for will
go to waste and eventually drop out.
This is due to a splitting of the ends
of the hair, so that the interior oil duct
which nourishes the hair is exposed,
and the natural nourishment of the
hair runs to waste, overflows upon the
head, forming dandruff, which lmpede
the growth of the hair just as much as
tares among wheat. The best means
to prevent this is a strengthening of
the hair, and this can easily be accom
plished by frequent cutting and the
use of salt water and vaseline.
Have you ever noticed what bushy
hair seafaring men have? It is be
cause their hair is in constant contact
with the invigorating salt air, and is
often wet with salt waiter. A good
tonic of salt water should contain a
teaspoonful of salt to a tumbler of wa
ter, and should be applied to the hair
two or three times a week. The ef
fect at the end of a month will be sur
prising. American Spectator.

The Bust Result.
Every ingredient employed in pro
ducing Hood's Sarsaparilla is strictly
pure, and is the best of its kind it is
possible to buy. All the roots and
herbs are carefully selected, personally
examined, and only the best retained.
So that from the time of purchase un
til Hood's Sarsaparilla is prepared,
every thing is carefully watched with a
view to attaining the best result. Why
don't you try it ?
Where is the State Money ?
The criminal looseness of the whole
system of State taxation upon business,
as administere..! in Philadelphia, is for
cibly illustrated in the fact to which
The Times has called attention, that
of all the merchantile taxes collected
in the ciiy for 1890, including retailers
licenses, and brokers', auctioneers',
peddlers', billiard and theatre licenses,
not one dollar appears to have been
paid into the State Treasury up to the
close of the fiscal year.
It has become the practice of the
City Treasurer to keep this money,
most of which is collected yearly, un
til the very end of the year, and it
would appear from his testimony be
fore a committee of the Councils that
the present City Treasurer made no
very clear distinction in his banking
business between this money and his
own, At the close of the last year,
which coincided with the troubles of
the Keystone Bank, he could not or
did uot pay what was due the State,
and in the report of the Auditor Gen
eral the receipts from these taxes in
Philadelphia are unaccounted for.
The only payment was a small balance
of about $r 8,000, when there ought to
have been $180,000.
These facts make a loud call upon
the yuditor General to take a hand in
the present inquiry and find out, if he
can, what has become of the State's
money. It would also become that
officir to overhaul this whole business
and devise some plan by which the
State taxes collected in the counties
shall be paid over to the State Treas
ury at once, instead of remaining in
definitely in the possession of specula
tive officials. Times-
