"MADE IN THE V. S. A."
SPEAKER CHAMP CLARK is a
strong believer iti the "Made in
the U. S. A." label. He urges all
* manufacturers to use it and
every consumer to inquire of his
dealer whether or not the orticle for
which he inquires is produced In this
country. Wherever it is possible Mr.
Clark would have the prospective
purchaser reject the foreign-made for
the home-manufactured article.
Nobody will quarrel with the
Speaker w'.th regard to that. Most of
us aro remiss in this respect and it is
well that men whose utterances re
ceive national attention should occa
sionally remind us that the duty of
every American is to patronize home
industries. But there is a significance
in the Honorable Champ's remarks
which it is just possible he himself
did not see. Says he:
It must never be forgotten that
the consumption of products
"Made in the U. S. A." gives em
ployment to men and women who
live in America, and to give em
ployment to all men and women
in America who want employment
at a fsir wage is becoming a more
pressing problem every day.
Docs the Speaker realize that he is
uttering rank heresy to the doctrines
of Democracy? Docs he not see that
ho is arguing in no uncertain terms
for the re-enactment of a protective
.tariff such as he and his colleagues
legislated cut of existence when they
passDd tho Underwood bill? Just now
the effects of that disastrous piece of
legislation are not being directly felt,
due to tho war in Europe, but the
fact remains that when peace shall
have been declared the greatest
"Made in the U. S. A." movement
that can be launched will be the re
turn to protection that will follow the
1916 elections.
THIRTY YEARS OF SERVICE
PROF. J. P. SCOTT'S re-election
for the thirtieth consecutive
time as superintendent of the
Wesley Union African Metholist
Episcopal Sunday school was an
nounced in the columns of the Tele
graph yesterday.
His is a fine example of constancy
to duty, of fidelity to trust, of the
recognized responsibility of leader
ship. Professor Scott is one of the
foremost colored citizens of Pennsyl
vania. Ho stands high not alone
among members of his own race, but
among educators in general. His long
record of service is proof sufficient
that steadfastness of purpose, zeal for
the advancement of others and ster
ling character are not confined to any
one race or nationality.
Few know that Professor Scott,
after his daily duMes among the
young of Ida race are at an end,
lakes wp his position baok of the desk
of a night school, where adult col
ored men and women, who had not
the opportunity for study early in
their lives, com* for instruction in all
of the common school branches.
THE PEAK OF THE IA) AO
IN matters electrical the point of
maximum requirement of current
is called the peak of the load.
Electricity, like every other line,
has its own nomenclature and some
of the terms are very expressive.
Pennsylvania's Public Service Com
mission ts commencing to meet what
it was created to confront —numerous
charges concerning rates affecting
great industries, communities, indi
viduals and the general run sf con
sumers. Problems of tremendous in
terest are constantly appearing on its
dockets and there are more coming
as surely as the night follows the day.
In the midst of these there are de
mands for the strong hand of the
State to correct various abuses, to ob
tain accommodations and to deal with
the thousand and one points where
public utilities touch the dally life of
the Commonwealth.
In view of this situation, which will
grow as the years roll on, it does seem
that it would be the part of wisdom
for the legislators to give attention to
the accumulation of petty business
and make provision for it to be
handled by a division or bureau of the
commission rather than to require
commissioners to pass on such mo
mentous affairs as the leasing of two
poles by an electric company to a
telephone company in Steelton and
the incorporation of a motor bus line
in Hazleton.

WANT NEW HIGH SCHOOL
IN a recent Issue of the Central High
School Argus, the official student
publication of the Institution, is a
stirring plea for a new high school
on the editorial page of the paper.i
The summing of the situation by the
student-editor is well worth while
reading by every taxpayer. He says:
Two high schools stand within
the borders of tho city of Harris
burg. The children of equal citi
zens and taxpayers attend both in
stitutions. Mr. A, who has a daugh
ter in Central High School, pays as
mtich tax as Mr. B. who sends his
son to Tech. But does Mr. A de
rive as much value for his money
as Mr. B?
Take a snapshot of each build
ing. Here, surrounded by a brew
ery and a saloon, we see a dilapi
dated. old-fashioned, unsanitary,
partly-condemned baru which
answers for the housing of almost
- a thousand pupils. On the other
hand, looming up in splendor di
rectly opposite the new Capltol-
Park-to-be, we view a structure
superfine, up-to-date, and extrava
gant. Within its walls three hun
dred pupils enjoy the delights of
a Rockefeller, and wander in care
free ostentation through the spaci
ous halls and decorations which
Louis XIV would have found pleas
ure in. Does the one balance the
other?
Picture the streets of our city at
8 a. m. Why are these girls, laden
with schoolbooks, trudging through
the snow and sleet at tills unearth
ly hour of the morning? Why? .In
the dusk of a winter twilight gaze
upon them as they "homeward
plod their weary way." See them
packed into unsanitary rooms as
tightly almost as —yes, we'll use the
simile—sardines in a hex —each ono
able to breathe in as much foul
carbon-dioxidized air as the other •
ones do not need? Is It fair?
In a subsequent issue is found an
other editorial on the same subject,
which is as follows:
We need a new High School! We
want a new High School. We must
have a new High School, and it is
only a matter of time until we do
have one.
It is absolutely necessary to
have one soon. Not only are the
pupils working under handicaps,
but also the teachers.
Wo need a library, a gymnasium,
classes in domestic science, in do
mestic art, in boys' carpentering
work. We need a social center,
where we can enjoy the amuse- „
merits of the day under proper
supervision. .
In short, we want a new High
School!
The Telegraph can't but sympathize
with the Central students. They aro
certainly not without Itiglo in their de
munds. This matter of providing a
new high school should not be de
layed a moment longer than necessary.
STATE TAXATION' LAWS
T is probable, because of diminished
1 revenues, the litigation over tho
anthracite coal tax and the fact
the State no longer receives one
fourth of the personal property tax,
that' considerable attention will be
given to the problem of financing the
State Government and the great
nrojocts which it Is desired to under
take.
The proposition of a State Tax
Eoard to handle tho settlement of the
corporate taxes whence Pennsylvania
derives i'.s splendid annual revenue
has been revived and would seem to
have considerably support; the idea
of taxing the capital invested in
manufacturing has been once moro
advanced and it is proposed to make
some changes which would bring in
more revenue from certain public
utilities. Incidentally, the talk of
making the capital stock tax report
year correspond with the calendar
year has been heard again.
If it is established the Tax Board
would result in more expeditious set
tlement of taxes and get in more by
putting the tax business on a settled
basis. It would also be a good thing
for the State and the authorities
should by all means take off the bur
den of a special report at an odd time
of the year from the corporations
which furnish so much of its income.
The State reports are now made at a
time of the year when the Federal
Government and corporation chiefs
never think of making up statemrents
and the practice is becoming a serious
annoyance. The year should corres- J
pond with the calendar.
As to the tax on manufacturing
companies, it should not be imposed.
Exemption of this class of corpora
tions from tax on stock has helped
make Pennsylvania great and taxing
them would simply remove what ad
vantages Pennsylvania corporations
have over manufacturing companies
in other States.
BETTER PROTECTION
THE neighboring boroughs of
Steelton and Lemoyne are going
about the matter of better po
lice and fire protection for their
people in unique but common sense
manner.
In Lemoyne the person discovering
a flre is instructed to rush to the near
est flrchouse and turn in an alarm by
ringing the bell tho number of times
specified in a generally understood
code. Thus the town, which recently
was subjected to the ravages of a dis
astrous fire that was raging beyond
control before many of the citizens
realized there was any fire, will have
many of the advantages of an elec
trical alarm system without the cost
of installation and up-keep.
In Steelton Burgess Wigfield has
recommended that the entire borough
fire patrol be deputized to act as po
licemen when tho occasion demands.
Steelton is a town of many celebra
tions and public gatherings, some of
them rather boisterous on occasion,
and the Wigfield suggestion shows
that the burgess, like the officials of
Lemoyne, is thinking about tho
problems that confront him and how
to get the most for the taxpayers'
money.
GROUNDLESS FEARS
HOW groundless were the fears
of lower end people who ob
jected to the construction of
the sanitary dam across the
Susquehanna river is shown by the
rise in tho stream that last night car
ried the water beyond the thirteen
foot mark.
There was not at any time any in
dication of a gorge and the dam had
absolutely no effect on the ico when
it began to break. Tho assertions of
tho engineers who planned it, to tho
effect that the dam would be so far
beneath tho surface during flood
stages of the river that It would not
produce so much as a ripple on the
waters, are being borne out by tho
facts.
EVENING CHAT
- Dr. J. Georgo Hecht. secretary of the
State Board of Education and a for
mer president of the State Educational
Association, has contributed to the
Pennsylvania Farmer, one of the lead
ing agricultural papers of this part of
the country, an article on rural school
architecture which everyone raised in
the country can appreciate. The doc
tor has a gift of expression that makes
his article very Interesting. He re
marks that the old style little red
schoolhouse which dotted hills and
valleys was generally "severely plain"
in style and that practically all of the
one-room schoolhouses were of the
"box car" type. He also comments on
the fact that the more abandoned the
plot and less fitted for any uso the
more dcsirabln it appeared to become
ns a school site. Fortunately, this old
type of school is disappearing through
the work of such educators as Dr.
Brumbaugh, Dr. SchaefTer, Dr. Becht
and others who have been working for
years to better school conditions in the
country. Dr. Becht brings out the
fact that the attention of everyone is
being devoted to vitalizing rural life
and that life in the country is no
longer a mere phrase and that the
place of the public school, especially
as a social center, ia having a pow
erful influence. The writer does not
deal with glittering generalities, but
shows how the State has prepared
plans for standard buildings and lipw
new locations, well situated in regard
to roads and population, are taking the
place of the secluded and desolate
looking country school. Tho educator
has brought home to people just what
some of tho schoolhouses within a
dozen miles of Harrisburg look liko
and to read of what has to be done to
make them warm and comfortable is
enough to tnake the city man shiver
with the radiator on full tilt.
Thomas T. Wierman has donated
SSO to the funds of the Harrisburg
Public Library for general library pur
poses with his best wishes for the
second year of the library. Mr. Wier
man was a donor of SIOO for the pur
chase of books on American history
last January when the library opened
its doors to the people and his gift
comes a year later when the library
has demonstrated its big place in Har
risburg.
Friends of William D. Boyce in Har
risburg have rec.eived autograph copies
of his latest book, entitled "The United
States Colonies and Dependencies." a
handsomely illustrated 63 5-page edition
Indexed for ready reference. It is the
work of extensive travel and investi
gation. Colonel Boyce, who is well
known as the publisher of The Sat
urday Blade. The Chicago Ledger, The
Farming Business and Tho Indiana
Daily Times, is a noted traveler and
his writings have been published and
republished in many newspapers and
magazines of national circulation. His
book is the very Inst word concerning
the Philippines, Hawaii, Alaska, Porto
Rico, the Panama canal zone, Repub
lic of Panama, Cuba, the Dominican
Republic and the Republic of Haiti.
It contains GOO etchings from unusual
photographs, most of them made by
the author in Ills wanderings. It bears
the stamp of Rand, McNally & Co.,
Chicago, and one of its interesting
features is a map of the United States
when the Declaration of Independence
was signed and another of the United
States in 1914. The findings of the
author are summed up in this para
graph, which Is of interest in view of
the present controversy at Washing
ton: "My journeys in recent years to
every quarter of the globe and to all
our outlying possessions have con
firmed my belief that the United States
is not only the best country in which
to live, but that colonies or territories
coming under its ownership or pro
tection are more justly treated and
rapidly developed than are the similar
possessions or dependencies of any
other nation."
The city dam across the Susque
hanna at. Dock street, while not yet
finished, is completed to a height suffi
cient to provide a uniform obstruction
over the stream, and the possible effect
of high water and ice on the dam will
be watched with more than ordinary
interest by weather, State Water Sup
ply and city officials and hundreds of
townspeople in the lower end of the
city. The present rising stage of the
river will offer the first opportunity for
careful observance of the effects of lee
crushes and floods with relation to the
dam and wall and the data that may
Vie collected on these problems at this
time will figure pretty generally in re
ports and compilations for many years
to come.
Hiram IT. Brosius. of Brookville,

BRUMBAUGH TAKES A HAND

Him in Their Line
—According to word reaching the
Capitol it is possible that the an
nouncement of the appointments of
committees and of officers and em
ployes of the Senate and House may
not be announced until inauguration
day or maybe the following day. It
was said when the Legislature ad
journed after organizing that the com
mitteo list might be ready for each
chamber on Monday, but this is now
dbubted.
—Speaker Ambler has been in con
sultation with Governor-elect Brum
baugh about the committees, espec
ially those which will handle the bills
in which the new Governor is inter
ested, and President Pro Tem. Kline,
of the Senate, will see him within a
few days.
—The slate committees of the two
houses are at work on the allotment
of places.
—The Philadelphia Record to-day
says: "With the intention of enabling
Governor-elect Brumbaugh to carry
out his plans of a more systematic
distribution of State funds for chari
ties, Speaker Ambler is expected to
appoint a, House committee on appro
priations in thorough sympathy with
the views of the prospective Execu
tive. It is further planned to have
this committee keep the appropria
tions within the income of the Com
monwealth and thus relieve the Gov
ernor of the necessity of wholesale
slashing of items, a custom in vogue
at Harrisburg for years. James F.
Woodward, of Allegheny county, who
is stated to be pledged to Dr. Brum
baugh's plans upon State appropria
tions, is regarded as the probable se
lection of Speaker Ambler for chair
man of this committee, a position he
held during the 1911 session." The
Record also says George W. Williams
will be chairman of the House law
and order committee and not A. C.
Stem, as reported.
