GOVERNOR TERR'S i FAREWELL MESSAGE [Continued From Pago 12] 8 mills per ton mile over railroads from ; .ake Erie to Pittsburgh. If tho proposed Luke Erie and Ohio river canal should be found desirable by the investigation now ordered, it should receive support from Penn sylvania. Improvements In water ter- minal facilities in the Pittsburgh dls ti trict. including better connections with tho railroads, would be necessitated by the canal. In the value of exports and Imports of merchandise, Philadelphia, during tho year 1913. ranked fifth among Atlantic and Gulf ports; but it ranked second in tonnage. Customs duties In the year 191S amounted to $18,875,000; In 1912 to $21,083,000. Contrast with this the total expenditures by the fed eral. state and city governments in im proving and maintaining the harbor of Philadelphia, from IS9O to 1914. amounting to only $17,293,000. This sum does not include the cost of im proving the Delaware river from Philadelphia to the sea, which, from 1536 to 1913 amounted to $17,523,000. The improvement of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh's water terminals is not a local matter. The whole State is Interested. The vast Improvements needed at theso cities are matters of slate, city mid federal co-operation. Hand in hand with the physical Im provements at the water terminals in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh should go co-operation between railroads, ship ping interests and municipalities. Pro rating. through bills of lading by water and rail, reasonable terminal charges, physical connections between rail roads, wharves and warehouses, are all Items of great importance coming under State regulation. In addition, the Lehigh and Sus quehanna valleys are vitally interested In securing ores cheaply from Cuba and Chile, immediate improvement of the port of Philadelphia should be accompanied by a careful study of the possibility of transporting by water these ores to the very doors of the Lehigh and Susquehanna steel plants. Tr, certain populated districts the t roblems of water supply and drain aye and sewage disposal call for State establishment of metropolitan districts and State control and aid in initiating the improvement: but all these things which I have enumerated, and others as Important, cannot be done and be paid for out of the State's revenues, because the latter are insufficient. It v.Kild appear evident, then, that tlie necessities of the people will demand .intendments to the Constitution of the < Commonwealth for purposes of eco nomic conservation and development, and I recommend this to your careful consideration. Inspection of Dams "'ho legislation recommended by me. .<nd enacted in 1913, provided stringent laws for the protection of life and property against Insecure dams, and for the prevention of en croachments along, or obstructions in, streams. In actively enforcing this law the Water Supply Commission ex amined 258 existing dams, and when Imperfections were found orders were issued foi repairs. No new dams have been buiit without the approval of the plans therefore and inspection of the construction by the commission. The number of imperfections disclosed b> lhese Investigations indicates the wis dom and the necessity of State control of the design and construction of dams. Forestry pi The State owns 1.001.226 acres of forest land, purchased at an average price of $2.25 per acre, from which a revenue of $89,406.44 was derived to December 1, 1914. Six thousand miles of roads, trails and tire lines have been built; the nurseries contain over 10.000.000 trees; 200 leases for perma nent camp sites have been approved; and during the current year tempo rary camp permits were issued to over 4,000 persons. This department should be given sufficient appropriation to improve its forest fire warden service and for the purchase of additional forest lands, and should be permitted to furnish trees without cost to municipalities for all kinsd of municipal planting. Worthy of mention is the gift to the State of Childs Park, in Pike county, by Mrs. Emma B. Childs, in honor*of her late husband. Mr. George W. Childs. of Philadelphia. Public Service Commission The Public Servi created Company law, t of Assembly, ap- proved July 28, 1913, is one of the utmost importance to the people of Pennnsylvania and to those corpo rations serving the people which aro defined as public utilities. This law puts the ultimate control of public service companies, with respect to services, facilities and rates, in a com mission selected under the authority of the State. Up to the time of the passage of the act this control was vested in the boards of directors of these corporations, subject only to such redress upon the part of the pub- He as could be secured by suits in the courts, and was often exercised without regard to any Interests save those of the corporations which the directors represented. During the short period of a year and a half since the enactment of the law it has proven to be of great benefit to the people. Xot only have they come to the com mission with confidence to present their complaints concerning excessive rates, grade crossings and similar mat ters of importance, but the veyr fact that there exists su-'h an impartial tribunal, with authority, promptly and inexpensively to determine disputes, lias led to care and self-restraint upon the part of the corporations. Many cases of far-reaching Impor tance have already been disposed of by the commission. In one instance the supply of heat of a borough was turned off as winter approached. The hearing before the commission was ■ended at 8 p. m., an opinion written during the night, and at 10 a. m. the next morning an order was Issued re quiring the supply to be restored. The whole system of telephone rates throughout the State is under consid eration, and the rates upon the trans portation of anthracite coal to Phila delphia have been materially reduced. The right of some of the industrial roads to participate in through rates was determined although the Inter state Commerce Commission had de cided otherwise. Between January 1, 1914, and June SO, 1914. 58 grade crossings were abol ished and 4 undergrade ?nd 7 over head crossings were established. Three hundred and ninety-five cases were transferred to the commission at the time of the expiration of the Penn sylvania State "aiiroad Commission, and most of these have since been determined. It la an Indication of the usefulness of the commission that in addition to these, between July 26, 1913. and June 30, 1914. 254 cases, some of them raising questions of gravest consequences. have been brought before the commission. One hundred and fifty-three applications for certificates of public convenience with respect to contracts between mu nicipalities and public utility corpo rations have been filed and 9S of them have been approved. Since the work of the commission Is rapidly enlarging both as to the number and importance of the matters brought before them 'or determi nation. and since the vast number of tnriffs oye»* which they have super vision are filed with them r:id require tj be provided for and analyzed, ad'Ji- TUESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JANUARY 5, 1915. . tional space and facilities ought to be > : furnished by the Commonwealth. '< Attorney General ! t j The Attorney General's Department i has rendered valuable services to the [Commonwealth, not only iu advising ' i the many departments of the Stato , upon questions of law concerning the ; powers, jurisdiction and administra-1 tlon of the several departments, but has carried to successful determina tion much important litigation in the interests of the Commonwealth. Quite a number of acts of Assembly, I, involving the administration of the various departments of the State Gov ernment, were from time to time at tacked as unconstitutional, and it be- | came the duty of this department to meet these attacks, which it did sue- : cessfully. | The department argued with sue-. • cess in the Supreme Court of the , 'United States the case raising the con- i ; otitutionallty of the statute prohibit- , ing foreign-born alienc from owning 'shotguns and rifles, involving im- , I portant questions as to the police , power of the State and the construe- i Uion of international treaties; and, in | the same court, the department sus- , j talned the validity under the State and , I Federal Constitutions of a very itn | portant provision of the anthracite . | mine code, requiring in the interest | and protection of the miners the leav- j | lng of barrier pillars between ad- j j i.ioining mines: also the case involving, i the constitutionality of the Pure Food', |Uw of 1909, which is the principal', | act under which the Dairy and Food j j Department operates. The constitu- j [tionallty of the Full Crew Law. and | jof various provisions of the taxing , | laws, have also been upheld in the ' ! highest courts of the State, and the • ; act regulating private bankers, and, {several other important departmental ' laws, have been sustained in the lower | courts. j In addition to tills class of impor j tant cases, this department has been ' successful in obtaining judgments I from the courts concerning corporate taxes, which resulted in increasing I the State revenues by several millions. In one important case alone, after twelve years of litigation, nearly $750,000 was collected from one com pany. Codification of Laws The Legislative Reference Bureau, ! at the session of 1913, was directed 1 by the General Assembly to make ex- I amlnation of the general statute laws, i of the State and to prepare a list of j obsolete statutes and statutes where ;on some doubt exists whether they I have been repealed by the general re- I pealing clauses in subsequent acts. Ac cordingly a bill has been prepared, re citing by title and repealing upwards jof five hundred laws. The bureau was : jalso directed to prepare compilations! land codes, by topics of the existing general laws, and to report to the' General Assembly in 1915 such' codes as have been prepared. The bureau has codified and compiled the general laws of Pennsylvania relating to taxa ! tion in all its phases. State and local, relative to business corporations (ex j eept railroads, canals, banking, and | insurance, which will be codified sepa i rately), and to boroughs. ! Even if the codes mentioned above ! should not become laws, the amount expended on this work is justified by the results shown. Banking There were 439 banks, trust com panies, and savings-fund institutions doing business in Pennsylvania at the close of the year 1910. This number has grown to 48"; the resources have I increased from $1,069,486,356.35 to I $1,278,644. the deposits have j grown from $7 47,515,554.36 to $923.- I 294.436.8.: and the number of de positors from 1.744,049 to 2,315,321. Building associations in this State at the close og 1910 numbered 1,550, ; and now number 1,793. The resources i have increased from $181,302,088.27 Ito $233,564,455.60. in January, 1914; j making the total resources of all in corporated financial institutions in the State, for 1914. about $1,700,000,000. It is to be regretted that the legis lature has not yet deemed It neces- j sary to enact measures similar to ! those in use by the national govern-1 j inent and many of the States for a | : more expeditious and inexpensive j j method of winding up the affairs of ! insolvent financial corporations. Legislation should be enacted re j quiring all Individuals engaged in pri j vate banking to take out a license, and the provision in the present law ! exempting certain private bankers I should be repealed. They should not | be permitted to receive deposits upon the credit of individuals, unless sub-j , ject to the examination and scrutiny j of the Banking Department. In order | (that such deposits may have the | greatest possible measure of security, j Insurance Realizing that there were but two States in the Union where more capi | tal was invested in insurance enter- I prises, and but one Stato wherein th j j volume of business transacted was i | greater than in Pennsylvania, the ; I General Assembly of 1911 enacted | comprehensive legislation reorganiz- ; j ing the Insurance Department and. j extending its jurisdiction until to-day ' the insurance laws of this State com pare favorably with those of any ! other State. Policies of life insurance and health i and accident contracts have been so I standardized that beneficiaries can readily understand what protection ! they or their families will receive In ; the event of misfortune. The liquidation of Insolvent instl | tutions had been a source of dissatis faction on account of the delay and I excessive cost of administration. Tliei i act of 1911 authorizing the commls-1 sioner to liquidate insolvent compa- j i nies has proved beneficial. Some I i twenty-five companies and associa- i I tions have already been wound up, or j ; are in process of liquidation, with a ( minimum cost and no unusual delay. Little additional legislation is re j quired; but a standard fire policy ; should be adopted, authority should; ■ be given the commissioner to examine j ' and supervise rate-making -associa- : ! tions, and provision be made for the | licensing of fire insurance adjusters. National Guard The National Guard has maintained its efficiency. It is composed of about j 11,000 young men of the State and Is 1 competently officered. I visited the ! several encampments, and was im i pressed with the interest manifested by the officers and men. The train- I ing and discipline of this organization j ' teaches respect for law and authority I 1 and prepares the young men to under- 1 j Btand and accept responsibility. The l i citizen-soldier is the nation's reliance j i for the defense of her institutions, and j j Pennsylvania should be prepared to i ! do her part by bavins a strong force i ! of trained and disciplined men. The I ! General Assembly should give j thoughtful consideration to the needs. I of the National Guard. State Armory Board The work accomplished by'the Ar mor." Board, created to provide ar mories for the National Guard. Is commended. The appropriations made ;by the General Assembly, from time ; jto time, to this board aggregate sl.- .250,000. Armories hav&,been erected)' jor acquired throughout the State, rep- ] ' resenting a value #f $2,030,000, or ' SBOO,OOO In excess of the money ap- ' propria'ed bv the State. State Police The Department of State Police, t created in 1905, consisting of four'< troops of twfl officers and fifty-five!, ! men each, with barracks and stablest] 'at Wyoming. Pottsviitr. Oreensburg, L land Butler, has rendered valuable ser- , 'vice to the Commonwealth. |( I In the eight years ending December j i 31. 1913. the members of the force i (covered 3.3G7.198 miles and made over | 145.000 arrests. During this time the [department received thousands of re-It quests for assistance from ull parts i of the State. ! Four thousand one hundred forty-! i six requests were received last year! from district attorneys, sheriffs,; Judges, duels of police, etc. Less i than 25 per cent, of these requests'] could be complied with, owing to the j limited number of men on the force. Among the arrests made from Janu ary, 1906, to January, 1914, were 369 I for murder, 102 for highway robbery, 441 for gambling, 371 tor burglar}-, t>7 for horse stealing. 774 for violations of fish and game laws, 121 for keep ing bawdy-houses, 145 for rape. 227 for robbery, 490 for violation of the liquor laws, 125 for receiving stolen, goods. But a small percentage of these ar rests could have been made by the! local authorities, as practically all of them were for crimes committed In small towns or in rural districts where they have no adequate police protec tion. Substations, of three men each, are established each year in thirty or forty i different counties, giving protection to localities that have no local police; but,- owing to the limited amount of money appropriated for this purpose, these substations can only be main tained for two or three months, whereas they should be permanent so that these isolated localities could 1 have the much needed protection all j the year. The necessity for an increase in the i number of men and an adequate ap propriation to distribute them to the | best advantage throughout the State. ! is proved by the thousands of re- j quests for assistance that are received I yearly from State and county officials, j with the majority of which the dc- ! partment is unable to comply. Fiftieth Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg The act of May 13, 1909, provided for the appointment of a commission of nine persons to arrange for the proper observance at Gettysburg of the fiftieth anniversary of the battle at that place, and to Invite the co operation of other States and of the United States, and made an appropria tion of $5,000. The act of June 14, 1911, increased this appropriation to $50,000. The act of April 17, 1913. provided for the transportation to and from Gettysburg of every surviving Penn sylvania soldier who participated In , the battle, and set apart $165,000 for this object. The Congress of the I'nited States directed the Secretary of War to create and maintain a great camp of visiting veterans during the celebration, on condition that Penn sylvania should bear half the expense, and by act of April 17. 1913, the State ; appropriated $195,000 for the pur- I pose. The event proved to be a great suc cess and in every way worthy of the Commonwealth. For the first time since the close of the Civil War there was a general reunion of the veterans of the Union and Confederate armies, both of which were represented by large numbers, and the celebration did much to create good feeling all over the country. The President of the t'nlted States and the Secretary of War made addresses. The Governors of many of the States and other dis tinguished guests participated. The members of this commission are entitled to the thanks of all the people of Pennsylvania. Transfer of Flags The commission created under the provisions of a joint resolution of the General Assembly approved June 5, 1913, authorized to arrange and su pervise the transfer, from the Li brary and Museum Building to the cases in the rotunda of the Capitol, of the flags of Pennsylvania com mands of the War for the Suppression of the Rebellion and the Spanish- American War. and other flags of historical value, on June 15. 1914, transferred these flags with patriotic and most impressive ceremonies, par ticipated in by a portion of the Na tional Guard. Grand Army of the Re public. and patriotic societies. These I flags, the most precious jewels of the Commonwealth, representing as they j do the valor of Pennsylvania's sons. I are now cared for in a better and ; more appropriate manner than ever before. Public Printing and Binding Under legislation enacted at the last session of the General Assembly the distribution of public documents is now performed in a businesslike way. The creation of the Division for the Distribution of Public Documents will result in a discontinuance of the | wasteful method that existed prior Ito its establishment. The editions of certain reports can be greatly re ! duced, and it is suggested that legis-1 I latlon be enacted with that end in view, in order that it may be in force when the next contract for printing is awarded in 1917. Attention is called to the expense of ] printing pink bills used by the Legls j lature. The cost of printing these 'bills for the session of 1913 was $42,- j 843.35. Unless this printing be essen jtial to the proper administration of (the business of the General Assembly, they should he discontinued; at any event, the number of these bills should be very much reduced as a large por tion of the waste paper sold by the Superintendent of Public Grounds and Buildings represents a surplus of these bills. Acts of Assembly authorizing spe cial publications should contain an item appropriating the money neces sary to cover the cost of printing, binding, etc., thus enabling the legis lators to arrive at some reasonable estimate of the cost of such publica tions. Capitol Park The Capitol Park Commission, cre ated by the act of June 16. 1911, has conducted its affairs in a thoroughly businesslike way, and its members are entitled to the highest praise. » The number of properties in the proposed park area aggregate 537, of which 415 1 have already been purchased by the t commission, and negotiations are now 1 under way for the purchase of the i remaining 122. The transaction of the rapidly increasing business of the various departments <*f the State Gov ernment makes necessary the acquisi tion of this area. Pan-American Exposition Tho Panama-Pacific Exposition Commission, appointed under the pro visens of a joint resolution of the Gen eral Assembly approved June 14, : 1911. has completed the erection of a 1 building for the participation of the State of Pennsylvania In the Panama- Pacific International Exposition, to lie I held in San Francisco. Cal., in 1915, J to celebrate the completion and open ling of the Panama Canal and the four | hundredth anniversary of the discov- I ery of the Pacific Ocean. This l»uild-| , ing Is now being made ready for oe- I cupancy and use. and will. It is be ! lieved, fittingly represent Pennsylva nia at this great international exhi bition. Secretary of Internal Affairs Attention was called at the last ses sion of the General Assembly to the fact that the maintenance of the of fice of Secretary of Internal Affairs, because of the creation of the Public Service Commission and the Depart ment of Labor and Industry, would serve only to produce conflict of au thority, duplication of work, and un necessary expenditure of public moneys. The result was the passage ' of a resolution proposing an amend ment to the Constitution of the Com- ' monwealth for the abolishment of this i office, and transferring the powers ex- I ercised by it to the Public Service 1 Commission, the Department of Labor and Industry, and the Forestry De- i partment. I recommend that this pro- i posed constitutional amendment. < which comes before you for action at i this session, should have your early i attention. In order that the subject I may be submitted to the people for j ratification. Woman Suffrage The last session of the General As sembly passed a resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth to determine whether or not women shall have the right of suffrage in Pennsylvania. I recommend that this resolution, which comes before you for action at this session, shall receive such attention, as will enable the subject to be sub mitted to the voters for their deter mination. Senatorial and Representative Apportionment Attention is called to Article 11, Section 18, of the Constitution of tho Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which provides that the State shall Ibe apportioned into senatorial and representative districts immediately after each I'nited States decennial census. The New Penitentiary j The very best thought has been given to the erection and organization I of Pennsylvania's new western peni tentiary, near Bellet'onte, which when | completed will house a great portion .of the State's convict population. An j opportunity will be afforded its pris ! oners to work in the open, and to live ]and sleep in sanitary surroundings, to the end that they may be reformed j and their shattered physical constitu | tions repaired. This Institution is at tracting nation-wide attention. i Department Reports j The details of the work of the se\r ! j eral departments and commissions I of the State Government to which no special reference Is made, will be found in the respective reports. 1 recommend that the suggestions found therein have your careful considera tion.

We. in Pennsylvania, have every right to be proud of our State and of her achievements. No State has better laws, and In no other State are the laws better administered and more vigorously enforced. In conclusion, permit me to say that the people throughout the na tion, generally speaking, are suffer ing from a surfeit of laws, rather jthan front too few. I, therefore, be speak for my successor your earnest co-operation and assistance in enact ing only such laws as are necessary and will prove for the benefit of ail the people of the Commonwealth. I am. with great respect. Very truly yours. JOHN K. TENER.
