MAY SIT UNTIL MAY
More Activity Likely Soon
With Introduction of Admin
istration Bills
fnless the Legislature Injects more
speed Into Its work during the coming
six weeks than It has during the pre
ceding nix weeks, the 100-day session
which IN. publican leaders predicted last
December will neer be realized.
So far there are no Indications of
the short session which the leaders ex
pected. On the contrary the outlook Is
for the usual slow transaction of bust,
rtess by the law makers until spring, fol.
lowed by the usual haste to wind up In
May.
Pome hope Is held out for more ac
'tlvlty during the closing daya this
month by the Introduction of the flrst
of the administration measures. Tnese
bills, which nre nlmed at reorganizing
the Highway Department, were Intro
duced last Tuesday by Senator T. I
tyre, of Wen Chester, and should be
reported' out of committee cither next,
week or tho following week.
Committees Linger Over Work
One of the hardest tasks confronting
the legislative leaders has been to get
the committees down to work. Speaker
Bpangler has repeatedly urged more ac
tion on the part of the House commit
tees which have been slovv-to ; orBanlze.
Meanwhile numbers of both tranche,
rontmue to present u multitude of bills.
Because of the slow work of tho com
mittees few of the bills have appeared
on the calendars. (
In the three brief sessions which the
two branches held last Monday night
Hnd Tuesday morning nnd afternoon,
first nnd second reading measures oc
cupied most of the space on the calen
dars. The most Important thing the
House has done K far ' to dispose
of the Vlckerman resolution to ratify
the, national prohibition amendment.
This resolution Is now In the hands
of tho Senate Law nnd Order Commit
tee, which has scheduled a public hear
ing for Tuesday. February 18. The
Senate Is scheduled to vote finally on
the resolution on February 25.
A demand for a public hearing on the
sin- i.iii in Vihia n leclslattvn com
mission .Investigate food and fuel con
ditions in Pennsylvania nas Deen re
ceived from Lackawanna County. A
hearing also is anticipated on tho Rorke
bill to permit Sunday movies nndor
chestral concerts of an educational Char
acter.
There ' Is considerable speculation as
to what nctlon will do lanen on um
Bucher hllli to start tho machinery for
a, constitutional convention. If a con
stitutional convention Is to be held dur
ing the term of Governor Sproul, the
.,... 1 .ocrlctntllrA MIIIHt nufi RllCh
legislation as proposed In the Bucher
bills.
Mast do to Voters In Referendum
It must authorize submission of the
miration nf holding such a convent on
to a referendum of the voters, regulate
the time, and manner of holding it and
of nominating and electing delegates to
It and fixing their compensation. Also
It must specify when and how the dele
nates are to be elected.
Senator Dalx's bill to restrict the sals
of small firearms will come up In 'the
Senate for second reading next week.
Because of anticipated opposition from
manufacturers of firearms a hearing on
this measure may bo fixed. The Nearr
bill, the provisions of which are similar
to those embodied In the Dalx bill, will
get first reading In the House next
week.
Another bill, which has aroused spec
ulation. Is that introduced by Represent
ative Philip Sterling, of Philadelphia,
to abolish the present boards of edu
cation In Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
and provide for the election at large
of seven, members for each board la
stead of the present appointive boards
of fifteen members.
The Dunn bill to amend the school
code so as to provide an Increase In
the schoc) tax In Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh from six to eight mills on the
dollar should get on the House calendar
next week. It was reported out of com
mittee last week.
A host of salary raisers for varlcus
State, municipal and court offices have
been introduced during the last two
weeks. Many of these bills are expect
ed to be "smothered" In committee be
cause of the protest which generally
greets the appearance of -salary raisers.
The DIthrlch bill. to provide two addi
tional Common Pleas judges In Allegheny
County will come up for second reading
In the Senate next week and then the
question of whether a hearing is to be
given or not on the measurer will be
decided.
Measure Caused How In Home
This is the measure which caused the
row In the House last Monday night.
Representative Vlckerman made the de
mand for a hearing on the bill and his
resolution to that effect was supported
by Representative John It. K. Scott. The
House turned down the Vlckerman
lesolutlon and then passed the DIthrlch
bill finally.
Its passage was due to the fact that
many of the Independent members had
been pledged In advance to vote for the
bill. The very next day after the meas
ure had been rushed through first read
ing In the Senate the "dry" members
from rural districts formed the Legisla
tive League.
Many of the "drys" were Incensed at
the tactics used In Jamming the mess-,
tire through first reading In the Senate.
It was reported out of committee In the
Senate nfter certain amendments had
been made by Senator Max Leslie, of
Pittsburgh, before the bill Was ever
messaged from the House to the Sen
ate. The amendments were made on a du
plicate nnd then transcribed to the or
iginal when It arrived In the Senate
from the House. The league will care
fully examine nU legislation In the fu
ture before the members make any
pledges.

DEPORTATION 0E FOES
OF NATION IS URGED
Pastor Would Exclude All Not
Believing in American
Ideals
Deportation of every person not in
sympathy with the Ideals of the, United
States was urged as a national protec
tion by the Itev, Dr. Charles A. Eaton,
morale officer of the shipping board, at
the annual frolic of the Philadelphia
Club for Advertising women at the
Bellevue-Strntford last night.
Compulsory labor for rich and poor
alike us a method of Instilling strong
Americanism Into every one was an
other change advocated by the fighting
pastor. He also urged the exclusion
from public office of all who have not
shown by their past conduct their belief
in "America over nil."
"A flood of sentimental slush seek
ing to enthrone Russian Ideals is sweep
ing over the country," he asserted.
"Unless the muck and slime Is at
tacked by itrong measures we shall be
under tho sway of a tyranny ,w orso than
that of the Czars I
"Government ownership of public util
ities shows how Impossible anv form
of socialism is. Lnbor leaders like
Gompers, of the American , Federation
of Labor, and others of his caliber know
the danger and are taking steps to
combat It. The remedy for much of the
danger Is to close the gates to' Immi
gration until the ptesent group of for
eigners within our boundaries are nat
uralized. TJnks Solet to rruislsnlim
"The Soviet Government of Russia,
whose constitution I have in my pocket,"
declared Doctor Eaton, "Is a proletariat
autocracy composed of workers, peas
ants, soldiers and sailors. Any person
who by his Industry has produced more
than he has consumed and is therefore
Iu possession of an Income, no matter
how small, becomes immediately Ineli
gible for citizenship. U is merely the
Inverlon of the Prussian autocracy un
der which It originated."
