* NEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE APPROPRIATION BILL ABOUT READY Hearings Will Be Held by Com mittee to Decide About Some of the Charges L/ Prospects that some probes into de r partmental expenditures will be started within a week by the House Appropria tions Committee loomed up to-day, and there was considerable speculation on Capitol Hill as to how far it would go. The general appropriation bill will go Into the House to-night over a week late, and in an unfinished state. It will contain departmental estimates as passed by the Economy and Kfflcleney Commisslop, which is to report to-nigh and lump estimates as requested by departments whose figures the commis sion and the legislative chairmen have not had time to review. The bill last session carried $40,000,- 000 in round numbers. The requests made this session call for $63,000,000, including the increases for highways and schools, which run about $10,000,- 000. The bill as it will go in will call for about $4.4,000.000 and the committee will start hearings as to the necessity for the sum. In all probability the reports that activities of men connected with the State Labor and Industry, Agricultural and other departments played politics while traveling at State expense last year, will be taken up. Some of the legislators are said to charge that men connected with departments worked against them and there may be an evening up of scores. The framing of the bill will take rrobably a f&rtnight and then the charity bills will be rushed out. There may be enactment of these bills thirty days before final adjournment or if that cannot be done there may be re cesses taken. The committee will rush the military bills so that there will be no question about the funds for the Guard and for the improvement of Mt. Gretna, while probably one-third of the amount car ried by the armory building bill will be made available.

REVENUE BILLS GO IN TONIGHT Legislators Will Talk Over Them and Prepare For Any Emergency Action Tho Pennsylvania Legislature will start some financial preparedness moves this week. Seven or eight bills looking to increase of the revenues from $11',000,000 to J13.000.000 a year scheduled to be presented to-night so that they can go to the Ways and Means committees for discussion. It is nut the intention to pass them un less stern necessity arises. While the bills are going in for the purpose of getting things in shape for action in event that war requires more tnoney there are some legislators who consider that under the national de fense act and tho power of the Presi dent to raise volnteers the State would not be called upon to raise money. The Federal government paid all of the bills for the border service from the time the men entered the service and reim bursed the State for what it paid out. It would do the same for reserve re cruit camps and probably all the State would have to pay would be home guards and maybe not that except in case of invasion. Furthermore, the State can issue a million dollars of bonds at a time to pay cost of re pelling invasion, suppressing insurrec tion and disturbances. The State sink ing funds now equal debt and Penn sylvania bonds would be snapped up. The revenue bills include the pro posed constitutional amendment to per mit graded taxation. Chairman J. F. Woodward, of the House appropriation committee, will sponser that. The other bills are to be presented by Mr. Woodward, as follows: Direct inheritance of two cents on the dollar of clear value of estates, which would raise $6,000,000 as it would affect estates owned outside of the State by residents. A five per cent, dis count would be allowed for prompt payment. A State tax of two per cent, ad va lorem on all coal prepared for market, half to the counties producing; coal, and to be dedicated to highways. This would mean about $5,000,000. State tax on natural gas at the rate of two per cent, ad valorem at ths well, which would raise <IOO,OOO to be used for highways. A similar tax with similar dedication on petroleum is also planned. State tax of one mill on capital en gaged in manufacturing, laundering, etc., which would raise several mil lions. A new theatrical tax and a proposed one-mill tax on real estate are talked of but not drawn and Mr. Woodward will not present them.
