WOULD RAISE GOVERNOR'S SALARY
State Economy OQommission Suggests $20,
v0 Instead of $10,000 a Year, and »
Five-Year Term, :
Among the recommendations made
in a report before the legislature last
week by the Btate Economy Commis-
sion, were the following : The simpli-
fication of the governor's duties by
eliminating the service required of
him on numerous boards and com-
missions is suggested. 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.

Forester Barnes to Receive 151,000,
Centre county’s allotment of seed-
lings for reforesting operations on the
State Forests this spring amounts to |
over 850,000, according to a statement |
given out today by the Commissioner |
of Forestry, The trees to be planted
on the million scres of Btate Forests |
total about 8,800,000, This number, |
although probably greater than that!
to be planted by any other state in the |
union, is almost 2,000,000 under the
record set last year by Pennsylvania,
The reasons are shortage of labor and
shrinkage of the labor appropriation
of the Department of Forestry to al-|
most microscopic size.
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. Barnes,

Norway spruce, and 63,500 willow cu!l-|
tings ; total, 161,600, Penn Forest, C, |
R. Meek, Forester :—200,000 white
pine, and 200,000 pitch pine; total,
400,000, Bear Meadows Fores', J. W,

Forester :—106,600 white pine, 45,000
scotch ploe, 20,000 Norway spruce,
10,000 willow cuttings ; total, 151,500,
Total for Centre couaty, 565,885,
In addition to the 8,800,000 trees lo
be planted on the Btate Forests, about
1,760,000 seedlings will be given free of
charge to private individuals and
corporations interested in reforesting.
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,

COOFPERATING FOR GOOD RHOADS,

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,

millions would have

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
