FISH LICENSE TO
HAVE HARD TIME
Little Probability of It Getting
Very Far During This
Session
The House \rc:iimitee In charge of
the bill to establish a state fishermen's
license law at half a dollar per license
has about decided not to do anything
unless the people wno urged the
license at meetings last year ask for
it. The bill has been in committee
for some time and no attempts have
been made to get hearings. The mem
bers of the committee say that they
are awaiting an expression of public
opinion and officials of the State De
partment of Fisheries say that they
are also waiting to see what the
spongers for the idea are going to do
about it.
The proposed fish code Is also wait- j
ing action as is the biennial bill to j
take care of the bullfrog and the Ju
niata red-legged terrapin.
The proposed game code is now in j
the House and will be up to third
reading within a few days. It was j
considered by the game committee for
over a fortnight and represents the
views of the members and a number i
of sportsmen's organizations. The j
chief feature is that it permits boys i
under fourteen to trap rabbits. The !
code is designed to get all of the game
laws together and if enacted it will
he the plan to let it be tried out for
four years at least without being!
changed.
A new
of cigarette enjoyment
Up to now, smokers have been content
if a cigarette tasted all right.
But this Chesterfield Cigarette, besides
pleasing the taste, does a new and impor
tant thing for smokers-
Chesterfields just "touch the spot,"
they let you know you are smoking—
they "SATISFY"!
And yet, they're mild/
The blend does it it's the new proportioning of
high-quality tobaccos. Such costly Imported and
Domestic tobaccos have never yet been blended in
any cigarette at anywhere near the price. And the
blend can't be copied.
It takes the cigarette itself to prove all this. So try
Chesterfields. Today.

BRANCH CAPITOL
REPORT IS READY
i
Scheme to Spend Half a Million
Dollars and to Create
New Jobs
! The State Branch Capitol Commls- I
sion whifch fame in'.o being as the re- |
suit of a resolution introduced into the
the last Legislature as a joke, will re
port to the Legislature that there
should be a half million dollar build
inn erected on a plot on the Philadel
phia parkway to house the dozen or
so brnt.'.'hes of the government now in
rented quarters in Philadelphia at a !
cost of $13,700 for rent alone, and the
supreme and superior courts which
have fine quarters here which they oc
cupy about one week a year.
1 The commission enlarges upon the
l tact that the city needs the room now
occupied by these courts and that they
should have quarters of their own
in Philadelphia. Attention is also call
ed to the fact that the city of Phila
delphia furnishes the aforesaid court
rooms i)tl offices worth $25 000 a year j
I ir. rent.
liver since the commission was |
named to devise ways to locate a \
branch Capitol in Philadelphia, its!
I work has been watched by people in j
! Pittsburgh, Erie, Scranton, Altoona
and other cities where there are offices j
of the State government and where i
the folks would like to see branch
capitols erected.
Accompanying the report will be a
bill providing for the creation of a j
permanent commission to acquire the
site from the city either by gift or j
lease, to prepare plans, make tests !
and arrange other preliminaries. This I
bill is to carry $.50,000 and provides
for $2,500 annual salary for each of
the three commissioners. The commis
sion which recommends the construc
tion of the State building performed
its work without pay. It was composed
of Richard J. Beamish, chairman;
Montgomery H. Wright, secretary, and
Harry T. Saunders, all of Philadel
phia.
The report will set forth that the
State can acquire from the city a plot
along the north side of the parkway
between Twentieth and Twenty-first
streets, covering approximately two
and a half acres with 572 feet on the j
parkway. It is located between the
convention hall and the library site.
Attention will be called to the fact I
that the city gives the Supreme and i
Superior Courts 10,939 feet, represent- !
ing an annual value of $25,000 in rents I
and that in addition State offices in
Philadelphia are quartered in office ]
buildings at an annual rental outlay
of $13,700. The Workmen's Compensa- j
Hon Board and other bureaus occupy |
offices in the Xortli American build- :
ing alone which cost $5,250 a year in!
rent. It is set forth in the report that 1
"on account of the rapid growth of
the municipal government of Phila- j
delphia, it is more than likely that
the space occupied by the Supreme
and Superior Courts in City Hall will j
soon be required for the accommoda- I
tion of the city government and the
local courts. This would make It nec
essary for the Commonwealth to seek
a new location for its appellate courts
which would probably entail the ex
penditure byway of rentals alone of I
at least $25,000 a year."
The proposed office building would i
be for the courts and the quarters of
the dozen or more bureaus now housed j
in Philadelphia, and the report says:
"Such building should not in any sense j
be a branch Capitol, but merely for j
the convenience of housing such |
branches of the State government as i
are at present or may be in the future j
located in or near the city of Phila
delphia." It is also recommended that I
the building be of a size that can be j
enlarged to meet future needs, which j
is all very fine.

ing State System
Members of the State Prison Labor
Commission are to be asked to cx- ;
plain to the House Appropriations'
Committee why It is necessary to ask (
an appropriation of $275,000 for the
conduct of their work. A bill was
presented on February 12 by Mr. j
Brady, Philadelphia, for that sum, of |
which $150,000 was to be for the man- j
ufacturing fund expenses, which;
would include the wages for prisoners
In the two penitentiaries and the!
Huntingdon Reformatory, and $125,000 ,
for pay of persons employed outside of 1
manufacturing, but would care for j
those working on the new peniten

wants to know why the commission
can not pay wages, etc., out of reve- ;
nue received from sale of its products. !
