a joint session of the General Assembly
at Harrisburg and filled two
pages in Legislative Journal with
excuse sand alibis, telling the people
of this State that he could not do any-
thing and then recommended the
called ‘Kaufman plan’ or ‘Pittsburgh
Plan’ which was only another way of
telling industry to take of the
unemployment situation itself, \
“Governor Pinchot in a very artful
and adroit manner takes credit for re
leving unemployment because some
additional men were hired by the State
to maintain the newly adopted 20,000
mile road system, but that is a mere
transfer of road money. He stopped
the bullding of concrete roads and
threw the men working for road
tractors out of employment. He also
took the State ald and township re-
ward money away from the township
road supervisors so they will have less
money to pay the road workers In the

political units and centralized them all
into his own hands, thus making him-
self practically a political dictator In
this State.
“During the recent seasion the
Legislature Gov. Pinchot vetoed the
Wheeler roads bills which allocated the
road money among ths various coun-
ties on the milaege basis, the same way
as school money is now divided on the
per pupil basis, These bills were pass-
el by a unanimous vote in both Houses
and Senate, Their purpose was to take
road appropriations out of politics the
same as school appropriations have
been taken out of politics
“But Pinchot, self-advertised reform-
er, vetoed them and sald that the peo-
ple's representatives in the Legislature
should not tell his administration pow
and where to spend the people's
money.
“If those vetoes mean anything they
mean that the people of Pennsylvania
will now be expected to buy back their
honest share of road money at price
of their political Independence and
their political manhood.
“In view of these facts. which are a
matter of public record. the public
statement by Governor Pinchot a few
days ago that unemployed Democrats
in distress should be given employment
by the State, becomes a mere hollow
mockery and represents nothing more
than an effort to conceal the real sys-
tem of political spoilsmanship wnder
the Pinchot administration. Why was
such an order and such a public state:
ment necessary by Govenrnor Pinchot
if it was not the unusual and out-of
the-ordinary thing for the Pinchot ad-
ministration to hire men regardless of
theig political beliefs and affiliations.
“Governor Pinchot has made a great
rocord on ‘political relief” but his rec
ord on unemployment thus far has
been a sad stoy for those in distress.”

On Tuesday a number of the boys
passed tests in fire building and cook-

of the boys passed from tenderfoot to
second class rank and others from
second class to first class rank. A full
report of these prometions will be pub
lished later. Toward evening because
rain threatened, the tents were taken
down and the cots placed inside the
cabin and on the long porch. If this
had not been done it would have
been impossible to break camp the
next day, as the tents would have
been soaked by rain.
The camping trip was financed in
three ways: first, the treasury of the
troop; second, a fee of fifty cents paid
by each scout, and third, contributions
from various citizens of Centre Hall
