10 Legislative News ALL ELECTION ACT AMENDMENTS GO Governor Vetoes the Senate Bills Which Would Have Made Many Changes to the Laws All election law amendment bills of any importance were vetoed by Governor Rrumbaucli. They were gi3 - en out as vetoed before the Gov ernor left the city on Saturday, but not to be published this morn ing. The so-called "antifusion bill" was vetoed by the Governor with these 3vords: "Its purpose is to compel all parties nominating candidates at the primary to carry their tickets un changed to the election. There are reasons for such a law, any one con versant with the unnatural alliances of a recent campaign might 3vell fa 3or such an enactment and such con ditions undoubtedly provoked and prompted the introduction and pas sage of this bill. But the fact that some have abused what others would use is not sufficient warrant for the approval of this bill. It may well be that the time will come when under present law citizens may co-operate to promote the loftiest ends of good government. It 3vould be unfortu nate if by any law this 3vere pre vented. It Is a serious matter un duly to restrict the electorate and pre 3-ent such concert of action as will give the people relief In case a mis take is made Jn the nominations. The party in po3ver will always se cure the sympathy and support of right thinking citizen? 3\hen it meets in the open and unrestricted its po litical opponents. Any attempt to thwart concert of action or to limit reorganization of interests prior to election is likely to preduc® criti cism and opposition. The American \oter loves free, fair play; and, in Inst analysis, those that abuse the rreedom that should be given the 3-oters will suffer, not profit by their misalliance." People to Utile In 3-etoing the bill regulating the formation of new parties the Gover nor says: "Its whole intent is to de line party lines early in the year, to prevent fusion thereafter and hence to make the primary the po tential election and the election that follows more or less a matter of course. To compel 3*oters before Feb ruary 1 to define their ultimate pur pose as to the election in November is to restrict and hamper that in dependence of action which, though juggling and shifting of candidates and parties may sometimes be done, cannot in fairness be denied the elec torate if 3ve are to take the spirit of our government seriously. If the people are to rule It is only fair to give them the opportunity to da so." On the bill which would give the Republican party the first place on the ballot in the next election be cause of polling' the largest vote at a general election the Governor says: "To deny the Democratic party the preference in place on the ballot won at the last presidential election is of doubtful advantage to a party which for a time was in the minority but which is usually overwhelmingly in the majority. It is a "ripper" meas ure which would provoke justifiable criticism. A political party is en titled to all the advantages it can fairly win at the polls .The place of a party on the ballot is no longer of great significance. Voters are quite capable of finding the candidates they desire and the will of the peo ple will be fairly expressed. Having the right of line is of little advan tage, but whatever it may be, It should be won at the polls and not by Legislative enactment." Committeeman Bill, Too The bill to change the election of a national committeeman is declared to be retroactive and hence inoperative. The Governor says the bill also chang es the per cent, of the vote re quired to establish a political party and while he assumes it was not in tended to destroy any political parties it would accomplish that result and is therefore "unfair and unreason able." The clause relative to elec tion of a national committeeman he says refers to 1913 and it is to be re gretted that the real Intention can URIC ACID SOLVENT For Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble 50 Cent Bottle (32 Doses) FREE Jut because you start the day wor ried and tired, stiff legs and arms and muscles, an aching head, burning and bearing down pains in the back—worn out before the day begins, do not think you have to stay In that condition.

The bill regulating use of party names and nominations Is vetoed with (,#iment: "The evident purpose of the repealer is to prevent inde pendence of action on the part of any group of voters. It compels accept ance of party control and makes it difficult for those not willing to abide by the outcome of the primaries to find a means of registering their dis sent. It distinctly restricts the vot er in that freedom of action which he may abuse, but which, if we be lieve in our common democracy, we must accept and abide by. If we be lieve that the people should govern through their chosen delegates we can scarcely justify an attempt to pre vent the people from having free dom of approach to the polls in or der to express In their own way their rights as free citizens." The bill prohibiting policemen and flrmeen from canvassing election pre cincts in first-class cities Is declared to in effect do away with what is known as the "Shern law." "City employes should not be in politics" writes the Governor, "but extraor dinary conditions may arise in which it would be proper for the municipal officials to endeavor to secure data in dependent of whose special duty it is to secure such data or informa tion.

CUTJG.7iO.DIIN IP PINK BILLS Governor Approved Allowances to Something Over $65,000,000 For Next Two Years Study of the reductions and vetoes of legislation carrying appropriations as far as announced by Governor Grumbaugh show that he cut off at least $6,729,559.35 from the $72,194,- 411.77 passed by the Legislature. This may be increased to $6,750,000. The Governor's figure sheets show ap provals of appropriations to the amount of 65,464,852.42. In making his cuts the Governor went closer to the estimate given to him by Chairmen James F. Woodward and Clarence J. Ruckman, of the ap propriations committees, than to what was furnished to him by Auditor Gen eral A. W. Powell. The chairmen esti mated that $68,479,819.70 would be a safe flgura, basing this statement on what had been given them by Mr. Powell on February 28. The Auditor General gave an estimate of less than $61,000,000. The Governor's approvals seem to aggregate $65,464,852.42. The aggregate appropriated was $72,194,- 411.77,50 that the cut wa556,729,559.35. In 1913 Governor John K. Tener faced appropriations of $89,046,777.48 and cut off $22,838,636.21, leaving $66,208,141.22. A table of compari sons shows the following: Approved. Class. 1913. 1915.

He says that existing laws guarantee equal rights regardless of race, color or creed and that the State has npt been remiss in enacting laws. While due notice was given and noted on the legislative journal that the change had been made, It Is Impos sible to approve it under the law. The Senate bill providing for addi tions to the force of the State Fire Marshal is vetoed because It would cost $70,500, which the State cannot afford at this time to add "to its already heavy charges for salaries." The Governor also says it opposes the act giving the Attorney General con trol of all legal business. Other bills announced as vetoed in clude several Philadelphia salary raisers and the following: Senate bill providing for State su pervision over Inspectors of weights and measures, which, the Governor says, would mean ten new places, which is not advisable at this time. Senate bill for a commission to codify laws relative to juvenile courts, the Governor saying that the Legis lative Reference Bureau and Attorney General can and will do it. Senate bill making an appropriation for the Topographic and Geologic Sur vey. The Governor says the appro priation Is too small and would scarcely keep the department salaries in force. It would be better, he says, to do it in a manner commensurate with the Importance of the work. ELEVEN LODGES REPRESENTED AT MEMORTAIi SERVICES .Eleven lodges of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows were represent ed last evening at the annual memor ial services of the Southern District of Dauphin county, which were held in Messiah Lutheran Church. The roll call of the dead members was read by Christian W. Myers, past grand master of the order. The memorial sermon of the evening was given by the Rev. Henry W. A. Sanson, pastor of the church, who spoke on "Faith, Hope and Charity." A special program of music was given by the choir. OLD PRINTER CELEBRATING IS CELEBRATING BIRTHDAY James Falker, of Rutherford Heights, is celebrating his 75th birth day to-day. He claims to be the old es* printer In Cumberland and Dau phin counties. Mr. Felker was born in Carlisle. He was employed at Washington in the government offices when the reports were being made of President Johnson's impeachment, trial. GOVERNOR VETOED EXACTLY 211 BIOS Made New High Water Mark in Catting Down Legislation on General Subjects Governor Brumbaugh finished up work on the 708 bills left with him by the recent General Assembly on Sat urday afternoon and It was 8 o'clock last night before his office force handed out the last veto. There are some more which will come along later. The Governor is away for sev eral days, the place being kept secret so that he will not be bothered by anyone. Records of the State Department show that he vetoed 211 bills, or 41 more than John K. Tener in 1913. The Tener veto list ran up to 171. In 1911 he vetoed 122 bills and in 1909 Edwin 8. Stuart vetoed 12 0. The Gov ernor signed 792 bills. John K. Tener signed 857 in 1913 and 847 in 1911. Edwin S. Stuart slgneo 659 in 1909. The Governor vetoed In part many Items in the list of appropriations for hospitals and other charities and mis cellaneous objects. He carved out over $5,500,000, the results being announced shortly before midnight Saturday night. Only SIOO,OOO was cut from the highway appropriation. It amounts to $8,300,000 and the schools were not touched. Thus the Governor will be able to carry out his two big ob jects. The State Armory Board Is cut SIOO,OOO and the Philadelphia port reduced from a half to a quarter million. Molly Pitcher's monument bill was approved and $250,000 given for mothers' pensions. Forty thousand dol lars is allowed for the completion of the State arsenal and Superintendent Rambo will now ask bids. The Capitol Park extension com mission is given $300,000 to finish the work. The University of Pennsylvania gets $900,000 all told and State College something over a million. The Univer sity of Pittsburgh gets $600,000 and allowance is made for buying normal schools. Before going away the Governor Kave out this statement: "In an attempt to keep the expendi tures of the Commonwealth within its predictable income It has been neces sary to reduce the Commonwealth's bounty to many deserving Institutions and organizations. It is to me re grettable that higher education, to which I gave so much of my life, has with other worthy causes been re duced as it became imperative to do. I am not unmindful of the fact that some of my fellow-citizens and their representatives who have been most active and insistent In their efforts to secure large appropriations for the In stitutions with which they are con nected or in which they have a special Interest are precisely the same citizens who have been even more active in defeating legislation to Increase the State's revenues. In other words, their activity against good laws has been the cause of their failure to se cure what their activity for institutions led the Assembly to appropriate. If men are not willing to -help provide JUNE 21, 1915. revenues for the Commonwealth, by what show of reason can they expect large appropriations from the Com monwealth?" \V EI DMAN-TSC HUD Y WEDDING Special to The Telegraph East Donegal, June 21.—Miss Eva Tchudy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ell W.
