HEEDLESS HARDSHIP
[Continued From First Page J
item of 514.105.941: or a total saving:,
on both items of $25,238,941.
Democratic Appropriation
Rut. we find when we count up the
appropriations made by this Congress,
that the appropriations exceed last
year's appropriations by J31.803.082,
which, if added to the saving on pen
sions and Panama Canal expenses to
which we have referred, make a total
excess appropriation of over $57,000,-
000. These figures do not Include the
Rivers and Harbors Bills of either
year. The House passed the Rivers and
Harbors bill which is now In the Sen
ate, which with amendments rails for
appropriations of $53,000,000, but
thanks to the strenuous and successful
opposition of the Republican Senators,
led by Senators Burton, of Ohio, and
Kenyon, of lowa, this is one instance
where the Republican minority, after
a most severe and determined tight,
has been successful in curtailing Dem
ocratic extravagance. The appropri
ations in this bill will be cut down.
Otlier Appropriation*
"To this must be added, the Demo
cratic Treaties with Colombia and
Nicarauga, the former carrying an
appropriation of $25,000,000 and the
latter $3,000,000. In addition to these
enumerated, there are a large number
of other bills pending, some of which
have alread passed the House, which
carry appropriations amounting to
about $35,000,000; so that if all these
bills are passed, your appropriations
will be more than $100,000,000 in ex
cess of last year's appropriations,
would it not be better to cut out these
appropriations, which are actually not
necessary and practice a little economy,
sail* as everyone else does under simi
lar circumstances Instead of taxing the
people? Had the President given in
struction to the heads of the depart
ments to economize instead of instruct
ing Congress to levy taxes, it would
have been better.
"Mr. Speaker, I want to show that
the Democratic party has received and
disposed of a larger income since they
are in power than the Republicans ever
had to dispose of in a similar length
of time. When President Wilson was
inaugurated on March 4. 1913. a little
over eighteen months ago, there was a
balance in the treasury of $149,335,-
777.78. To show the result of the fiscal
year's business ending .lune 30, 1913, for
which the Republicans were responsi
ble, although they relinquished office on
March 4. 1913, I will quote receipts
and disbursements of the government,
which include all receipts and disburse
ments, except that of the Post Office
Department, which department showed
a protlt. .
"Total ordinary receipts for 1913
were $724,111,230; total ordinary ex
penditures for 1913, $682,770,706:' leav
ing a net balance to our credit of
111.340,524: total ordinary receipts for
1914 were $734,343,701.
Democratic Extravagance
"This Is an increase of ordinary re
ceipts over the previous year's o'rdin
ary receipts of over $10,000,0n0 and the
previous year shows a credit balance
under Republican management of over
$41,000,000 and now under Democratic
management with an increase of over
$10,000,000 in receipts, you come to
Congress, sixty days after the close of
the year and demand that additional
taxes be levied to raise money for the
government. When, as a matter of
fact, had you practiced the same econ
omy that the Republicans had prac
ticed, you would have a balance of
over $50,000,000 on hand.
"The President stated that this tax
is necessary because of the falling off
of the revmue in the customs house. We
understood and you told us when you
passed the Underwood Tariff bill that
you expected this falling off and this
was your excuse for the passing the In
come tax law, which you said was neces
sary to make up the deficit or falling
oft in customs house receipts. And it did
make up this loss, as the following
figures will show: We collected at the
customs house for the year ending June
30, 1913, $313,891,366: customs house for
the year ending June 30, 1914, $292 -
128,528; showing a shortage of s26*-
762,838. '
"The income tax has produced about
$36,000,000 which is about SIO,OOO 000
more than was lost in the tariff revenue
which accounts for the $10,000,000 in
crease In the ordinary receipts over
the previous year to which I have re
ferred. Of course, the income from cus
toms house receipts this year will be
less. Hast year, we had the benefit
of the Payne law for three months, and
the duty on wool for five months as
well as the sugar duty. Had the Un
derwood bill been In force for the en
tire year, even with tile sugar dutv
that it carries about a year longer, the
receipts would have Deen about $26 -
000,000 less and on the same volume of
receipts next year, it would be so much
less and when the duty on sugar goes
off in a little over a year from now
you will loose about $40,000,000 more
and should the country be so unfor
tunate as to have the Democratic party
In control at that time, you must then
pass some legislation to raise revenue
but such legislation is not needed now!
Tariff Can>« of Trouble
"Mr. Speaker, the real trouble Is
caused by the Democratic so-called
"competitive" tariff bill passed by this
Congress. Not only because it has
proven a failure as a revenue producer,
but rather because it has opened our
markets to the manufacturers of the
world and has resulted In increased
importations of foreign merchandise
which in turn is responsible for the In
dustrial depression which we are 'now
experiencing. It was supposed that
this bill would reduce the high cost
of living—in this It also failed. It
has also changed our trade balance with
i other countries into a deficit."
HARRISBURG'S NORTHERNMOST FLIGHT 4S
FOR 1914 AND CHIEF FOREMAN "FRANK" WILLIAMS AND HIS GANGS
r 1
I'V'V VV •
Etchings show the end of the wall and steps at Maclay street and the big gang of concreters of the Stuckei
Brothers Construction Company right on the job. The inserted etching is that of "Frank' Williams, the genial
lightning-driving chief foreman of concrete construction for the contracting company under whose supervlsior
Harrisburg s dream of front steps is coming true.
RIVER FRONT STEPS
DONE AT MACLAY
[Continued From First Page]
point are only some of the hair
graying obstacles that contractors and
engineers are contending with at that
point. While this work is being hus
tled another gang is working south
wardly at putting in footwall from
State street to close the gap at South
street.
After the steps and wall work
southwardly from Herr street is well
under way the placing of the walk
along the- whole section between Wal
nut street and "Hafdscrabble" will he
started, according to Charles D.
St ticker, president of the company.
This work, however, will likely be
started about the middle of the sec
tion so that the concreting can be car
ried both north and south at the same
time. This is necessary because of
the fact that there are but two ways
of approach for teams between these
points, one at Herr street and one at
Market.
Paving the Way
Material for "fill" for the section
north ot Calder street is being placed
now and. according to Mr. Stucker,
just as soon as this is finished thi
laying ot the concrete sidewalk north
of "Hardscrabble" will be started. The
••fill" now being used is lifted from the
river bed outside the wall and some Is
being carted from the Second street
subway excavations.
Within six weeks or two months at
best the cold weather will have put a
material crimp in the operations. It Is
'eared, and the engineers and con
tractors are especially anxious to get
the wall In such shapo as will permit
the adding of finishing touches to the
dam. The last pier form was placed
In the deeper water on the western
side yesterday all that remains to be
done now on that great job is the
placing of the concrete slabs on the
breast. As soon as this is done the
water will be backed up and the pur
pose for which the dam is intended
will be very obvious. The backing up
of the Susquehanna now, however,
would probably Interfere with the con
struction work on the wall and pre
vent the removal of rubbish and silt
from outside the wall.
Why They'll Come to Harrisburg
The river front improvement has
assumed such tangible proportions as
to excite the wonder and curious in
terest of scores of Harrisburg people.
An Interested spectator the other day,
for Instance, was William B. McCaleb,
superintendent of the Philadelphia di
vision of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
"What a splendid water front Har
risburg will have when this job is
completed," said Mr. McCaleb en
thusiastically. "Now the work is as
suming such proportions as to give
one a very good idea of how It will
look in the near future. To my mind
this is Harrlsburg's crowning achieve
ment in municipal improvements.
People will want to come to Harris
burg some of these days—not for
stop-over convenience, or for business
purposes only—but to see Harrisburg.
And we'll have something to show
them, too."
To Those Who are Making It Possible
So much for the river front Job.
To accomplish this the activity of the
contractors and the foremen in charge
of actual construction counts for
something. And' of all the foremen
on the Stucker Brothers payroll It Is
doubtfu! If any has ever stood quite
so high as D. F\ Williams, the genial
executive of the concrete gangs which
to-day added the finishing, touches to
the steps at Maclay street. So here's
for a wo(d about Mr. Williams, or
"Frank." as most everybody on the
job knows him.
He holds the record for rapidity in
placing stringers, footwall and steps;
he cares neither for driving, drench
ing rain, fog, lightning, thunder or
nipping cold. High water alone might
bother him, but the chances are that
he wouldn't let even Father Susque
hanna worry him at all if it wer<
possible to set concrete in rubber boots
and a raincoat.
If you should happen along the
river wall where Frank's gang is at
work you can readily pick him out of
the crowd. lie works all the time
coutless, often hatless—save when he
is aboil' to be photographed, when he
goes in for his new English hat—and
he's got a voice that can pierce the
"no-forstay" bluff of the blandest
Slav or Croat. lie understands his
job thoroughly; he modestly admits
that he's sort of acquired the habit.
Furthermore, he will modestly fell you
If you press for an answer that he has
been twelve years in the service of the
Stucker Brothers, that he helped them
build some nine miles of State high
way at Wilkes-Barre. that he has had
charge of fhe construction gangs for
Booth & Flinn. the great Corbett Com
pany, and H. S. Kerbaugh when the
latter constructed the Enola yards.
The men in his gang—be they for
eigners. negroes or white Americans —
all like him. Somehow he instills the
1 fact into them that such and such a
section must be completed in a certain
time—and the men all help to make
the completion of that Job a personal
issue.
And so they bustle along with the
barrow loads of cement, jump here
and there with pick and shovel, grab
up this crowbar or swing that ham
mer. scurry and run—even while they
grin at "Frank s" bellow of command.
And this in tones that suggest the
requests £or the services of Mr. Kip
ling's famous native waterboy. Al
ways Mr. Williams has his eye. on the
job, even while he may have both
ears bent your way. That's why con
versation with the foreman is divided
more or less with workmen on the Job
something like this:
"How' many sections of steps was
our dally record? Why. fifteen—hey,
John, what're you DOING with that
wheelbarrow ?"
"And you can say that we're going
to get this whole job done this year—
Mike, quit actin' like Woodrow Wil
son and DO what you've on your
mind. If you've got a mind
"How's that? Sure—we'll have it
all finished before—John, fer Gawd's
sake dump that concrete to-dav—TO
DAY. John—TO-DAY!"
And that's the spirit that has placed
D. F. Williams foremost among .con
crete construction foremen—and the
spirit that is making the vision of the
"front steps of Harrisburg" come
true.

Reception Accorded the
Cadillac Announcement
The announcement of the Cadillac
I Company to market an eight cylinder
car this year with the V-shaped mo
tor, was naturally tho principal topic
• for discussion this week among mo
torists. The opinions varied accord
ing to individual opportunities for the
study of the advantages of a four- six
or eight-cylinder car. Hut the general
expression seemed to be that the In
novation was an assured success, con
sidering that the company back of the
car is among the leaders In the pro
duction of motor cars and has for
years been known for its conserva
tive policy
C. C. Crispen, of the Crlspen Mo
tor Car Company, says it Is remark
able how the public responds to the
announcement. Although the car has
not been seen, Mr. Crispen reports
an excellent list of names awaiting de
liveries simply because of the confi
dence in the products that has been
manufactured by this company for
years. The reports from the factory
at Detroit are similar in tone, and the
officials predict that the indications
are that the factory will be obliged to
work full capacity in order to meet
a demand which threatens to exceed
the supply.
