O'.'iMon v. the House of Representa
tives of tho Legislature of Pennsyl
vania, "instructing our Senators and
reiinsMnij our Representatives in

Oi) will give the Interstate Commerce
Commission larger powers, to tlio
end that liiilppers may have prompt
tini rb.-quute relief and that rebates
nay be prohibited." This was inter
pret? 1 as li was intended to be, as
An endorsement of President Roose
velt's policy on the subject o regu
lating rates on railrou Id.
The President wad enftaKCil at tho
time in a Titanic struggle with what
Lo characterized as the "railroad
lawyers of the Senate. Aldrich of
Rhode Island and Foruker of Ohio
led t!'o opposition and all the Demo
crats and a few Republicans in the
body were supporting tho pending
incisure. Mr. Roosevelt had made
i ii app'-nl for the moral er.pport t f
the peojile and on the night the reso
lution was Introduced he v. as in
Philadelphia addressing a mammoth
public meeting In the Academy of
Music in the Interest of hia bill.
When the resolution of Mr. Creasy
Vas In i.i o.luced it was promptly rid
Oiited, the only negative vote being
cast by Henry F. Walton, Speaker of
tho Hour". Consternation followed
Immediately. Walton Informed his
mnchine associates of the Import of
the vote and they at once began
"running to cover." The loiterers
la the lobby were summoned to their
Heats and within an hour Riprcs'-n-tntlve
Shern of Philadelphia, Pen
rose's personal representative in the
body, moved for a reconsideration of
the vote by which the resolution was
adopted. After a protest by Mr.
Creasy In which he depicted the
chagrin which Roosevelt would feel
ever such a rebuke, the motion was
put and carried, John O. Sheatz vot
ing with the majority. Legislative
Record, 1905, page 203.
Immediately after the reconsidera
on the question of the adoption of
e resolution was again put and It
. j.s overwhelmingly defeated, John
Sheatz voting with the other
achlne representatives against the
..idorsemcnt of Roosovelt's railroad
policy. Legislative Record, 1905,,
page 204. For half an hour after
ward the machine members Indulged
In a carnival of rejoicing. The re
cult was telegraphed to Penrose, the
machine Senators rushed over to ex
press their congratulations to Speak
tr Walton and confusion reigned.
The President was snubbed "in the
Rouse of his friends," politically
speaking, but Sheatz fastened him
self in the affections of Penrose and
the bouses.
Loaning Upon a Broken IU.
If the friends of Mr. Sheatz de-
fend upon his legislative record dur.
ng the session of 1905 to establish
for him a reform reputation they
are likely to have a rude awakening
when the official Journal of that sess
ion id examined. It was a notorious
ly vicious session but the machine
majority was so great and the bosses
so confident that all the servile
members were not required to vote
for all the bad measures and even
Bam Rip occasionally dodged or vot
ed directly against the machine. But
like Sheatz he waB always with them
when his vote was needed, so that
an opposition vote now and then
didn't impair hia Btandlng In the
Speaker's room or In the Bobb Man
sion. For example he voted for the hill
Increasing the number of Bank Ex
aminers. Legislative Record, 1905,
page 442. This measure was want
ed by the machine because It pro
vided a few more places for party
dependents.
He voted for the bill to author
ise Districts Attorney in counties of
population containing over half a
million and less than a million popu
lation. Legislative Record, 1905,
imge 4 44. This measure was a sop
to the machine while in Pittsburg
and was wanted by the machine for
the same reason as the other.
Ho voted for tho bill to authorize
corporations authorized to supply
water or manufacture light, "to sub-i-jrlbe
for, take, purchase, hold p.nd
fllsposo of the bonds or stock In eny
company of tho same character. "
Legislative Record, 1905, puge 769.
This measure was wanted by the
taachine for various purpose!?. In
the Hint place it removed some of
the lcKal obstacles and faellltnted
the scheme to stoal the Philadelphia
gas works by the United Gas Im
provement company. It also helped
that predatory corporation to get
control of other gas plant through
out the State. Legislative Record,
1005, pago 769.
' He voted for the bill inn-easing

cians. Legislative Rocord, 1905

Tl" Cr ivninr Atrocity of Legislation
House bill No. 4S6 of the session
of 1905 Is entitled to the distinction
cf being designated as "the crown
ing atrocity" of modern legislative
Jugglery. It conveyed the technical
legal authority under which Penny
packer's Hoard of Public Grounds
and Buildings looted the treasury in
completing and furnishing the capl
tol. It was entitled "An act author
izing tho Poard of Commissioners of
Public Grounds and Buildings to
make contracts for stationary, sup
plies, fuel, furniture furnishings, dis
tribution of documents, repairs, al
terations and improvements."
Previous legislation on this sub
ject contained no authority to make
"repairs, alterations and Improve
ments," and that change constitutes
the "Joker" under which tho graft
ing was perpetrated. In his testimony
before the Investigating committee
Pennypacker sheltered himself under
It and exultantly referred to the se
curity in which he dwelt. All the
frauds were legalized, he said, by
that legislation, und the expendi
tures of the Bonrd of Public Grounds
and Buildings were limited only by
the resources of the treasury. As
long as there was a dollar loft In
the Btrong box of tho State, he said,
the board could order furnishings,
furniture, repairs, alterations or Im
provements. Upon that Iniquitous
measure Mr. Shti!tz voted aye. Leg
islative Record, 1905, priEa 26 10.
Mr. Sheatz voted for the bill auth
orizing railroad companies to "ac
quire, hold dispose of and guarantee
the stock and securities of wator
companies. Legislative Record, 1 9
05. page 4526. This was one of
tho notorious water snakes of that
session.
While the eo:called Philadelphia
"ripper" was pending In the Legisla
ture the people of that city were in
a state of consternation. The then
reform Mayor had offended the boss
es by removing the Directors of De
partments and appointing as their
successors men of character and ab
ility. In resentment of this the mach"
lne introduced Into the Legislature
a bill taking from the Mayor the pow
er of appointing heads of Depart
ments and vesting It In councils. Tho
handful of opponents of the machine,
led by John G. Harman, fought earn
estly to defeat the measure. One of
the expedients resorted to was an
amendment offered by Mr. Creasy
providing for the election of Direct
ors by a popular vote of the people.
That would have completely de
feated the purpose of the machine
and prevented the passage of the
bill. Upon the question of the ad
option of tho amendment Sheatz vot-.
ed with the machine In the negative.
Legislative Record, 1905, page
8032. The bill was subsequently
passed and was repealed during the
extra session of 1906.
Mr Sheatz voted for the bill "fix
ing the compensation, duties and
mileage of employes of the General
Assembly. Legislative Record, 1905
page 3026. The custom of the ma
chine had been to put a lot of party
dependents on the pay-roll of the
two Legislative bodies without au
thority of law and pay them out of
the contingent fund which was un
limited. This was called "padding
the pay-roll," and some years ago
got some prominent politicians, In
cluding Justice Elkln, Into grave
trouble. To legalize the iniquity the
legislation was introduced and as
shown by the Record, on page Indi
cated Mr. Sheatz voted for It.
The bill creating the "Water Sup
ply commission was another of the
water snakes. Mr. Sheatz voted for
It. Legislative Record, 1908, page
8645.
Sheatz As An Artful 5odgpf.
One of the distinguishing charac
teristics of Mr. SheaU's legislative
practice was his dodging important
votes. Indeed be might well be
characterized as "the artful dodger,"
and whenever the machine didn't act
ually need his vote for a measure
tiut was not quite oertain enough of
ts passage to permit him to vote
against It, he dodged and got on
record among the "absent or not vot
ing." He dodged the vote on the bill
creating the Department of Publlo
Health and Charities In Philadelphia.
Legislative Record, 1905, page
8035. The Department of Charities
and Corrections In that city bad
been rendering poor service to the
machine for some time. Durham's
brother-in-law, Phil. Johnson, hadn't
been doing as well ex he thought he
ought to In looting the city because
tho Director of the Department
wouldn't "wink the other eye," at
some of his plans and It was deter
mined to rip the recalul trim t out of
office. Accordingly a bill was Intro
duced abolishing that Department
and creating the other, the head of
which was to bo elected by counsels.
All the reform forces In tho House
were outraged by the atrocity but
Shent.z dodged tho vote, thus silent
ly consenting to the lnqulty.
Ho might easily be forgiven for
dodging the vote on the bill increas
ing tho number of employes In tho
Adjutant General's offlce. Legisla
tive Record, 1906, pago 8717, for the
worst effect of that measure was to
create a few needless offices but the
laboring men of tho State will hardly
forrivo him for failure to vote for
Mr. Schofleld's resolution to dis
charge the Committee on Judiciary
General from the further considera
tion of the Employers' Liability bill.
That measure of vital Interest to
every working man had been held
In the committee so long that tho
purpose to stifle It had become ob
vious. Representative Schofleld cf
Clearfield county moved to discharge
the committee, in order that the mem
ber of the Hou io world !,-. e-.mp-l!.
ed lo ro on record for or (u.iiiiist it.
M.-.nifently Sheatz hu-K.nl Mic ir.irno
of his convictions for iin'iad of jt
lng yes or no, he dodged.
Mr. Sheatz ulso .lo.U'ed the vote
on tho Mil giving tho Paper trust Iho
Special privilege ol hoMin,; n;.! i.b
toto In this commonwealth. It was
pointed out t.'mt the ror; oration wn.n
of the New Jersey vaiii ly ami prob
ably had not the r.miilU:;t fraction
of its capital r.tor-l; prld In. It vm
also shown that Pennsylvania cerpor
Ctlons didn't enjoy the fa. orj which
this Xew Jersey mushroom psked.
But Shentz hadn't tho courage to
vote one way or thn nthor. He simp,
ly dodged. Legislative Record, 1905
pogo Sou.
-i
Cournjre In nn Fvll Direction.
i On aoine of tho muchlue measures,
however, he had courage In plenty.
Take the bill creating a Probation
officer. That was nn Infamous pro
position. There were hundreds of
ballot box .ituffers under Indictment
and tho scheme was to make legal
provision to have them paroled In
custody of machine friends in the
event of their conviction. Tho meas
ure was too rotten even for tho
House of l!i05. It failed of pnnsnvo
for lack of a constitutional majority
but John O. Shootz was among tho
eervlle tools who supported it. Leg
islative Record, 1905, page 3796.
He had courage, moreover, to dis
regard the overwhelming protest of
the coal miners and mill workers and
factory operatives against tho bill
Creating the State Constabulary for
he voted for that measure. Legis
lative Record, 1905, page 3806-7. It
Was tho pet measure of the machine
becauso It created over 200 snug
berths for party workers. As in tho
case of the bureau of vital statistics,
however, it went Into operation too
ehortly before the political revolu
tion which admonished the bosses to
be good, so that the original purpose
Was not fulfilled. Governor Penny
packer appointed a man of character
to thp head of tho force, tnstoad of
a politician so that tho evil effects
were minimized.
This is in brief the legislative rec
ord of John O Sheatz, for the sess
ion of 1905. A more careful search
Of the House Journal or Legislative
Record would probably reveal many
more delinquencies. But what's tho
use. Llltrt his prodor-eesor In tho
office of Chairman of the Committee
On Appropriations, ho worked to win
the friendship of the machine man
agers and got the same reward, the
Republican nomination for State
Treasurer. The character of his con
stituents required that he be allowed
to vole with tho man who stood for
Civic righteousness occasionally. The
people of tho Twenty-fourth ward,
Philadelphia, are comparatively hon
est and independent and wouldn't
Stand for complete servility. But the
bosses control the nominating mach
ines and required his service when It
; was actually needed. Ills predecessor,
, Hon. J. Claude Bedford, was llmit
; ed to a single term becauso he
i wouldn't obey the commands or dis
soluble In any way. Sheatz was more
ft politician, however, and pretend
ing a virtue at rare Intervals, he fool
ed the people and served the mach
ine, G. D. H.
The Real Issue,
From the Phlla. Record.
Nothing would so weaken the loins
of Governor Stuart and the Attor
ney General and Courts and Juries
charged with the prosecution of the
Capitol plunderera as the election of
John Oscar Sheatz to the State
Treasurershlp. It would be deemed
a verdict of popular condonation.
The success of Sheatz would be for
gotten in rejoicing over the victory
Of the Oang. The recovery to the
Btate Treasury of any part of the
tnoney paid for Capitol "trimmings"
would be mado doubtful.
Precisely the opposite effect would
follow the election of John G. Har
man. It would be a popular notifica
tion alike to tho Governor, the
Gang, the Courts and the country
that the people of Pennsylvania are
deeply conscious of the dishonor of
Sheir trusted servants and that they
leeply resent the treachery, the dis
grace and the unexampled plunder
ing of which they have been made the
victims.
The Treasury plundering was a flu
ting climax to the system of Gan
management which makes the sur
plus of the public revonue a paid-in-Capital
for political gamesters to bank
Upon. It is this system that is at
Issue in November. A vote tor
Bheatz Is a vote for the system. A
vote for Harman would also be,
whother Governor Stuart so regards
tt or not, a vote of confidence for
himself and a vote of rebuke for
bis predecessors, whose misdoing he
has promised to remedy.
Tho Party Is Keeuouslble.
ITrom the Harrraburg Star Ind.
It was claimed by Candidate
Sheatz In his speech at Williams'
Grove that his party cannot be held
responsible for the Capitol looting
by contractors through the loosoness
of administration by officials placed
In power by hlB party. This was the
gist, If not the exact lnnKungo of
Sir. Shontz's apologetic ppeech. But
wo have pnrty government and where
Is the political responsibility to be
placed except upon the party in pow
ert If tho plundering contractors
had been Democrats and tho Demo
cratic pnrty had coutrollod tho Stato
Offices under which tho looting' was
accomplished, from every Republican
stump and In every Republican news,
papor tho changes would have been
rung on Democratlo dereliction and
malfeasance. Mr. Shoutz's ploa In
avoidance will not hold water.
Hore Is a plain proposition. The
Health Dopartment at Harrlsburg Is
as rotten as the Board of Public
Grounds and Buildings wae during
the Pennypacker administration,
and the Highway Department is nut
much better. If John G. Harman Is
elected State Treasurer the corrupt
ion of both thoso Departments will
be exposed and the people will won
der why they patiently endured the
evlia so long.

Free Employment Agencies Provosed.
Chief of the Bureau of Industrial
Statistics John L. Rockey is con
sidering die advisability of r.stab
Iisliin free employment agencies in
the larger cities of the state. The
idea is to furnish employment gra
tuitously to persons seeking work
after the plan in lorce in Illinois,
where, during 1906. 53,637 persons
obtained employment through the
free agencies in Chicago and other
large cities of the state. ' The jus
tice of such a plan," said Mr.
Rockey, "is apparent when it is
considered that the usual expense
in connection with private employ
ment agencies amounts to several
dollars for each application, where
as it is shown by the Illinois statis
tics that the cost to the individual
furnished employment was nothing
aud to the state less than sixty
cents." An experimental agency
will be established by Mr. Rockey
in one of the cities of Pennsylvania
and if it be a success the next Leg
islature will be asked lor an appro
priation to continue the plan.
