* 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.
