Ills lieht, te liesiii with It n dtarly
a sense of lenlM that leil him te es
pouse the 'inse of Chairman Crew.
When the latter, ler whatever cause,
decided te accept Mr. Spnngler te the
"etiislen of Majer Whlttukcr, as n
(atidMate fei the speakership the Gov Gov
ereor ecnuiesced His relations with
the speaker at the last session were
both harmonious und agreeable.
With tbth alliance Joes Senater I'm
mse guarantee n lnir deal in the se
lection of committees nnd the progress
of legislation b Speaker Spangler at
the coming session? It is an important

As te the coming frticinl test of har

Mr. tirund is interested in anything
that affects t'ie manufacturing Interests

dent of the Pennsylvania Mntiufuctur
irs' Vssucl'itien regards it as a elinl
Intge It Is u call te buttle, and he
vnllles out in war paint and feathers.
The administration has a Iked pur
pose long standing te Impose a tax of
from two t (He mills en the capital
stock of manufacturing corporations.
It clte faers a six or eight-mill tax en
the gross profits of such concerns There
are reasons for such n movement
It is imperative that the state obtain
greater revenue The rejuvenated sihoel
(totem which, under Dr Kinegan, is
striding Inte pre-eminence among the
states, requires mere money
A two mill tax en corporations alone
would bring an additional Income te the
vtnte of about 812,000,000.
Uaiiread corporations pny n tax and
the argument Is, why net manufactur
ing industries?
A bitter contest ever this issue can
not well be avoided It will be one In
I which tlxn committees appointed by
I Speaker Spangler will pla an Impert-
I ant part
Jt has also been decided by the pnity
I lenders, irrespective of faction, that
' legislative and congressional rcapper-
i tienment come up nt the nppreaclilug
cession The census of 1020 justifies It.
, It may prove a rempllcatbn te the
revenue bill.
The uitlre situation en the opening of
I the Legislature will be fraught with
opportunities for testing Spangler's sin-
! ccrity as te a fair deal.
Illg Tight en T Plan
The biggest fight of the nessien will
' undoubtedly center around the proposed
tar en manufacturing concerns ns a
revenue measure
I Thus the fatuous belief, If such exists
' am where, that the Spruce street ar
I rangement Is the angel wings of peace
that will drop sweetness and light, will
be me-t effec'ually dissipated. If I ml
I take net there will be n mimic replica
of Sinn Fein nnd "Illnclc and Tun" In
; Harrisbuig this winter.
Senater Venroe. I am pesitlvel as
wired, has agreed ns part of the ar
rnngemcut thnt State. Chairman i row

Hut where does Philadelphia tome In?
What part does she play?
Thus far Majer Moere has net been
drawn Inte the controversy. He has
called en Scnnter 1'enresc and discussed
the city situation. Neither side has en
tered into nnj agreement nor made any
premises
This much can be asserted, that
Majer Moere has made te Senater Pen
rose, just ns he hns given te ethers, the
positive declaration that he cannot and
will net change his policy in favor of
any ward render or any set of ward
leaders. Ner will he deal with the
Vnres.
The platform pledges that he made
prier te his election nre te be fultilled.
On the pntt of Senater Penrose there
has been no statement nn te his atti
tude en Philadelphia legislation That
question is up in the nir, and It is the
thing in which Mnjer Moere Is chlelly
interested
A curious situation has arisen an nn
outcome of the "mixed pickles" kind e(
politics Philadelphia is experiencing.
Senater Penrose personally will net
effect a truce, or even tentative arrange
ment, with the Vnres. There Is, though,
every Indication that Bome of the are
following will shortly march under the
Penrose colors; net conspicuously, how
ever, but In a modest wny.
The Republican Alliance, of which
Clerk of Courts Themas W. Cunning
ham was president, Is dead, A new
rallying point is Imperative.
An organization with Judge I'rewn,
of the Municipal Court, nud Mr. Cun
ningham hns been In course of forma
tion. Several of the mere Influential of
the former Vnre leaders, It Is under
stood, while net actually severing their
connection with the down-town organi
zation, have expressed n willingness te
"go along ' in the new movement.
One of the most Iniluentlnl of the
latter deslies te join hands in a legn,
latlve program
This is about what might be expect" 1
seeing that thcie is nowhere else 'or
them te go under the new deal. Had
the speakership fight been waged, the
diminished Vnre representation In the

Legislature from this city ve,i inv
tallied under the Crew bniuiu an
against Penrose nnd Grundy.
The Moere following In the legislative
delegation has formulated no plans.
They will btnnd together In demanding
remedial legislation for the city.
Whether the new city coalition will
second the Mayer's demnnds depends
entirely upon orders Issued by Sena Sena
eor Penrose,
Meantime Mayer Moere is going uhend
with a constructive program irrespec
tive of the outcome of the Ciew-Orundy
feud. He recognizes Senater Pen
rose, and hns se Informed him, as net
only the titular but actual head of the
Republican party In the Mute.
