LEGISLATIVE
GOVERNOR USES
THE VETO AX AGAIN
Three Bills Were Killed and Two
Approved by the Executive
Late Last Evening
USES TERSE LANGUAGE
Two Allegheny County Court Bills
Among Those Which Receive
the Approval
Governor Brumbaugh last night
'showed that he could veto bills as
I well as prune appropri
ation bills, lie took his pen in hand
|and put three bills in the discarded
i list, approving three and u resolution
i for investigation of charges about
! charitable institutions. The latter
'jwas started because of attacks on in
stitutions in Allegheny county.
! One of the bills vetoed was the
| House bill providing that vessels
'entering the port of Philadelphia from
i American possessions in or on the Pa-
Icific should me required to employ
pilots. The Governor holds "The sta
tutes of the United States forbid the
States from enacting any law author
izing the levying of pilot charges on
i licensed or enrolled coastwise seagoing j
j vessels. This bill is in violation of
| these statutes." i
other vetoes were:
House bill requiring county com-j
Imlsalonera to provide quarters In
I county building for the official
j county association of physicians and j
surgeons on which the Governor says: ■
"This bill, which is evidently intended !
solely for Allegheny county, is a usur
pation of the rights of the taxpayers
of that county. It is mandatory and
not permissive in its nature. » • *
This association lias no ofllclal stand
ing as far as the, law of Pennsylvania
is concerned. It is strictly a private
association. Such a bill, in my judg
] ment. is clearly in contravention of
the Declaration of Rights and is a de
parture from Anglo-Sqxon traditions
of many generations. It gives the
people no opportunity to decide
whether they wish this done or not."
Senate bill requiring purchase
money mortgages to be recorded
within ten days in order to have pri
ority of lien. On this the Governor
after referring to the act of 1820 as
having worked satisfactorily, says: "I
■do not deem it wise to make so radi-
I cal a change unless there is some spe
' cial beneficial reasons therefor."
i The lulls signed are all Senate bills. |
Two of them give the Allegheny coun-;
jt.v court exclusive jurisdiction In Juv
jenile cases and authorize information
'in desertion and nonsupport cases to
be made directly to the court. The
other validates deeds, mortgages and
other instruments defectively ac
knowledged by husband and wife
prior to January 4. 1915.

TEACHERS' BILL
BEFORE SENATORS
Important Retirement Measure
Will Be Acted Upon by the
Upper House on Monday
WILL AFFECT THIS CITY
It Is the Bill Drafted by the
Teachers and Wouid Provide
For a State System'
Senator Tompkins' bill providing
for the retirement of superannuated
and incapacitated school teachers on
a pension, is to come up in the Sen
ate Monday night for tinal passage.
It is certain to pass the upper branch.
There may be some opposition in the
House.
The proposed law creates a State
board of retirement of five members,
to be named by the State superinten
dent of public instruction. Two of
the five members are to be women.
One member of the board must lie a
classroom teacher. Another must be
a county or district superintendent
and at least two members of the
board shall not be school teachers.
When a man or woman has taught
school for thirty years, at least twen
ey years of which including the last
three years were spent in the schools
of Pennsylvania, he or she may ap
ply for a pension. The amount to he
paid would be equal to one sixth of
the average monthly salary that the
leather received during the one hun
dred months taught, prior to the re
tirement. The premium annual pen
sion shall not exceed SSOO. The mini
mum is fixed as $256 per year.
Teachers, who become ill or per
manently disabled would be eligible
to receive a pension. The teacher
would receive one-sixth of the aver
age monthly salary during the last
forty months preceding retirement,
multiplied by the number of years
the teacher has taught in the schools
of the United States. The minimum
compensation in such cases shall be
no less than thirty per cent, of the
legal minimum salary nor more than
S7OO.
Former teachers who taught school
for thirty years, can apply for a pen
sion after June 1. They would re
ceive one-half of the allowance to
which he or she would otherwise be
entitled,
Men and women are now teaching
in the public schools and normal
schools of the State are to contribute
a portion of their monthly earnings to
the fund each year until 1935. From
then on the State will support the
fund entirely. A teacher must reach
the age of sixty years before being
eligible for a pension.
During the period from 1915 to
1920. the teacher would be assessed
four per cent, of his or her salary; I
1920 to 1925, three per cent.; 1925 to
1930, two per cent., and from 1930 to
1935, one per cent. In no case is a
teacher to pay more than .SBO per year
during the llrst period or more than
sls per year during the last period.
Teachers, who give up the profes
sion, are to have their money re
funded with three per cent. Interest
additional. If they return to the
school loom they are to pay ten per
cent, of their salary until they catch
up with their original standing.
There is a proviso in the bill that
would permit the State retirement
board to permanently retire any
teacher, who has reached the age
of seventy years.
The Tompkins bill, if it becomes a
law, would, supplant all local retire
ment system such as is now in vogue
in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Scranton,
Harrisburg and other places.
Dr. Raymond W. Seis, of the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh, drafted the bill.
It hits the endorsement of the State
Educational Association. The State
board of education has done nothing
in the matter.
Senator Tompkins has heard of the
criticism that has been made against
certain provisions of the measure.
"The teachers are not complaining:
its the insurance companies," the
Cambria seator says.
New Organist to Assume
Charge at Derry Street
Charles Mackey, who has been

Mutual Interest has resulted- in Mutual Benefit.
Employees, by giving the best attention to customers that they ?||

Customers, on the other hand, have benefited by increased at- §5
