It is proposed that the governor's ealary be incressed from $10,000 to $25,000 a year; that the constitution be amended so that the next governor elected shall serve five years, and thue bring his succes- sor into office in even-numbered years, between sessions of general assembly or amend the constitution so that the general assembly in the future shall meet in the even-numbered years, The present aystem of collecting and disbursing the state's money is de- clared to be defective in many re specte., It is recommended that to protect the state funds, the copstitu- tion should be amended so that no money can be pald out of the state treasury except under terms of an act of assembly appropriating a specific sum to specifie purpose. The creation of a board of publie finance is recommended, the members to be the auditor general, state treas- urer, secretary of the commonwealth, sttorney general and commissioner of banking, to supersede the present boards of public accounts, revenue commission rs and sinking fund com- missiouer, A budget system is recommended, to be applied by a commission conslst~ ing of the governor, the chairman of the appropriations committee of the senate and the house in the preceding session, the attorney general and au- ditor general. Equalization of the salaries is rec- ommended throughout the entire state government. ['o take charge of the expenditure of $35,000,000 a year, the creation of a vosard of public works is recommends ed, to supercede separate department boards aud commissions, The board shall consist of the governor, auditor general, treasurer, budget commis sioner and a superintendent of public worke, lo be appointed by the governs or. It would have complete jurisdic. tion over all slate properly. ts. Centre County ¥.

Centre county will plant more trees! than any other county in the State, | and will also have the largest single plantation to be made in the Btate this year. Centre’s allotment divided among the State Forests the county as follows : Nittany Foreste, I. G.

Almost 400,000 of these will be used by walter companies in reforesiiong! barren watersheds upon which bor- oughs and cities depend for their walter supply. If the amounts asked fo; in the Department's budget are granted, reforesting will be conducted on = much larger scale within the next two years, The capacities of the State Forest pureeries total over 10,- 00) trees a year ubw, and this can be doubled within a few years. This yeat's plantations will cover about 1,850 scree, and will bring the tolal area planted to date about 15,000 acree, and the total number of trees planted to date to about 25,000,000, - Nice Catohes of Trout.

COOFPERATING FOR GOOD RHOADS, The Grange and Motorists Working To- in state. New Type of Road That Looks gtther for Improved Highways Good, Two influential forces in Pennsyl- vania are now cooperating In the efl- fort to have the main or leading high- ways of the Btate Improved, They are the Grange, with a membership of 100,000, and the Pennsylvania Mo- tor Federation, whose membership ie represented by some sixty motor clubs throughout the Btate, It is needless to eay that these organizations can do a great deal to influence the situation, It will be recalled that the def at of the proposed bond issue in 1913 wae charged to the farming interests of the Htate under the leadership of Hop, William T. Creasy. the road situation at the time bond Issue was under consideration and comparing it with the present sit- tisl that the farmers won that fight, This may be explained by the fact with sundry types of road, most of which have proved to be unsatiefac Had the issue carried millions would have spent for roads incapable of withsland- ing modern traflic. In the meantime the fact has been impressed upon roar builders that by combining certain materials used in two familar types of roads important economies are achiev- ed, Those two roads =» ituminous roads and the cement coucrele roads, The combination is e¢flected in thie way ;: There is first jut down an iu destructible concrete founda- tion and on this is laid 8a mudless, dasl- less weayiog surface of resilent asphalt macsdam or asphaltis concrete suited to both and motor traffic. A concrete base properly made is uni- form in strength and slresens, bond been cement horse transmits By its use we confioe depression in the road to the mere Lhickress of Lhe weariog surface, thus preventing de- velopment of the deep ruts and holes frequently found in roads with defec- tive or week foundations of broken Furthermore, if renewal of the wearing surface Is required after years of traffic, the cost of what be- comes practically a new road will nev- er exceed the price of the wearing sur- face, which, under normal conditions, stone, of an entirely new macadam rosd, Io a road of this type the asphaltic wearing surlsce cannot break down owing to the unyielding concrete foundation, and the concrete, being protecied by an Impervious, waler- shedding surface, will not heave, buckle or disintegrale as may hsppen any time in case of roads bulit of con- crele throughout. These ideal roads are moderate in firet cost and give greater sssurance of permapetit results than any other type. ————————— Miliroy Boys Join Boal Toop, A squad of Lieut.
