RAILROADS MAY DEFY THE LAW Reading and Pennsylvania Said to Contemplate Continuance of Present Passenger Rates Despite Two-Cent Law —Hulingo Bill the Remedy. Harrlhsurcj. Pa. Graft to the amount of $5,000,000! That is the Kum estimated to have gone into the pockets of the favored capitoi build ing contractors and the men "higher up." This estimate is based on the data gathered by the experts em ployed to make an inventory of the capitoi building and its furnishings and on information gathered by tlie auditors. The auditors who have been going over the contracts and accounts con nected with the building of the new state house have almost finished their work. Within a few days they hope to make a complete report. Their work has been stupendous. Even though it. has cost the state ?25 a day for the chief auditor and sl"> a day for each of his 10 assistants, be sides an allowance of ?5 a day for each man's hotel, expenses, it is cer tain that the commonwealth is getting its money's worth. The investigating commission also has in its employ quite a number of experts who have been making a careful ami detailed examination of the entire building for the purpose of ascertaining the actual value of the furnishings. These experts are being paid $5O a day for their serv ices. The results will show that the money spent in this way is a wise investment. It is through the work of these experts and auditors that the commissioners have been able at this stage of the investigation to make a good guess as to the total amount of the overcharges and stealings. Many Obstacles Encountered. The public probably never will know how much the investigators have had to contend with in theit work. Naturally the big contractors and '..hose who have shared in the "pie" and who would be affected by the inquiry were hostile to the prob ers from the very start and never have ceased to throw in their way every obstacle they could. Several prominent experts who were employed to ferret out certain things were bought off at the last minute and re fused to go to work for the state and Information of great value to the probers that had been promised from other sources has been withheld. But the commissioners expected this, and notwithstanding the setbacks are ready to spring some big surprises. The investigators expect to call upon some of the big men of the state within a short time. Included in the list of witnesses who are to be sub penaed are former Governor Samuel W. Pennypacker, former Governor William A. Stone, Auditor General William P. Snyder, former Auditor General E. B. Hardenbergh, former State Treasurer William L. Mathues, former Superintendent of Public Grounds and Buildings James M. Shu maker, Joseph M. Huston, the archi tect; John H. Sanderson, contractor, George F. Payne, contractor, and 11. Burd Cassel, contractor. Sanderson cannct be compelled to testify unless he should be found within the state's boundaries, as Jie makes his home in New York, but unless he does testify he Is likely to prejudice his case when suit is brought against him by the state later on. Will Resist Two Cent Fare. Reports have been received here that several railroad companies, the Pennsylvania and Reading in particu lar, will refuse to comply with the two-cent maximum faro law when it goes into effect September 30. It is said that they will do so on the plea that they have special charter rights which antedate the constitution of 1873, the provisions of which they never have accepted. Legislators who were responsible for putting the two-cent bill through intend to block the game of the railroads. They pro pose putting through the Ilulings bill, which provides that the slate tax on all railroad companies shall be raised from five to ten mills after the first of next year, and exempts from the increase those which file formal ac ceptance of the terms of the consti tution so that they will continue to pay the present rate. It will not pay the Pennsylvania or the Reading to get gay if the Hidings bill becomes a law. Lydick Bill's Prospects. A light against the Lydick primary election bill is certain to be made when that measure reaches the sen ate. The bill makes it compulsory for boroughs and townships to hold pri mary elections. Some of the country legislators want boroughs and town ships to have the option of accepting either the new or old law governing primary elections. They contend that because corruption at elections in the cities has made such a law necessary for them is no reason why it should apply to boroughs and townships. It is contended that in many boroughs and town-'iips all parties gel to gether ati' mil up a ticket, thus sav ing !in ex 'nst> of a primary f lection. It is also argued thai vry lew bor oughs and townships accepted the uni CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1907. form primary law iasl year, which goes to show that there Is no demand for it. in the country. An amendment allowing boroughs and townships the privilege of choosing either the old or the new law -was knocked out in the house, but another effort in this direction is likely to be made when the hill gets before the senate. Relief for Veterans—Perhaps. There is a lot of squirming over the Cochran pension bill which, if it be comes a law, would cost the state about $5,000,000 a year. If this meas ure should be passed it would deprive some of the large institutions of th« state of a largo share of their ap propriations. It is not intended to raise the revenues any more than can be helped, and it. is also desired to keep about $10,000,000 in the state treasury. AH there are certain fixed expenses to be met. each year it re quire little figuring to learn that if $5,000,000 is to be spent on pensions in addition to the other appropria- Hons something or somebody is going to suffer. It is a ticklish bill to op pose. Legislators have been be sieged by old soldiers and their friends to pass the bill. It is desired to increase the school appropriation to tlie extent of about $3,000,000, and it is also desired to increase largely the good roads ap propriation, which is regarded as highly necessary. The house has killed several big revenue producing measures, and unless money is forth coming from other sources it will be impossible to give the old soldiers the $5,000,000 a year which they are ask ing for. Will Boom Trolley Lines. The trolley eminent domain bill having passed the bouse is now on its way through the senate •with pros pects favorable to it 3 final passage. As amended this bill provides that all companies taking advantage of the new right must become common car riers of express matter and light freight. It. is expected that when this bill becomes a. law many new trac tion lines will be built in the state. To Encourage Breeders. The Ambler bill providing for the registration and publication of the pedigree of any stallion, bull, ram or boar kept for sale or exchange, and •which is represented to he pure bred, is likely to become a law. The purpose of the bill is to improve and encourage stock breeding and to pre vent farmers and stock raisers from being swindled by anyone who may have been accustomed to "live by his •wits." Anyone who shall fraudulent ly represent any animal as thorough bred or who fails to have such animal registered as required by the act, or who otherwise may violate the pro visions of the act is subject to a fine <of $lOO and imprisonment in the county jail for 30 days. An Unpopular Measure. Among the numerous bills that have been introduced whose purpose is to ralso money for road purposes is one levying a tax on all traction engines. The measure is hardly likely to pass for the reason that there are other good roads measures much more pop ular than this one. These traction en gines are much needed by farmers, and a tax on them would mean just that much out of the farmer's pocket. Objection has been raised to them be cause they frighten horses, but when it comes to this automobiles are more objectionable and more numerous by far than the traction engines. There seems to be a good deal of sentiment in favor of the joint reso lution proposing an amendment to the constitution so as to provide that female residents may vote for school directors or officers and upon all ques tions relating to the maintenance and regulation of the public schools. It is argued in its favor that as a rule mothers take a greater interest in the education of the children than the fathers for the same reason that they look after their personal inter ests more and for that reason women should be at least as well qualified as men to vote for school directors or upon all subjects relating to the schools. The plan is in use in some places, and it is urged that a general law on the subject would be all right. House Calendar Large. The house calendar is now the larg est it over has been in the history of the legislature. There are ' several hundred bills on it in various stages of passage. Some of them, of course, will never get through, but the ma jority of them are scheduled for pas sage. Some important bills have passed both houses and n*e now in the hands of the governor. These include the following: Authorizing trolley companies to carry freight; repealing the Salus- Grady "press muzzier;" requiring names of newspaper owners, manag ing editors and publishers to be print ed in a conspicuous place in the pub lications; authoring the examination and licensing of practitioners of oste opathy; permitting the killing of carp, suckers, mullets and eels with gigs or spears; validating the title of real estate taken and held by foreign cor porations without first having estab lished places of business and author ized agents In Pennsylvania; author izing wholesale liquor dealers to take liquors from kegs or barrels and place them in bottles for sale; providing for the regulation and licensing of slaughter houses in Philadelphia; en abling tax collectors to collect taxes for which they have become person ally liable.
