V. 4321 SATURDAY EVENING BOARDS SHOULD REFLECT FEELING Governor Makes Some Com ment Upon School Directors in Vetoing u Bill Governor Brumbaugh vetoed the Snyder Senate bill designed to author ize second and third class school dis tricts to levy a special tax for even ing schools, vocation schools, gymnas iums, playgrounds, public baths, etc. The Governor says that the bill would compel school boards to do what by law they now may do. He says that the method of compulsion is "expen j sive and impractical." The Gover- I nor says that "an elective school board ; reflects public opinion and that the schools are what the people make them. A school board opposed to such agencies in whole or In part would not sympathetically and cor dially conduct them when manda mused so to do. The wider use of the school plant is most commendable. The purpose of this bill is already met by sufficient enactments, and it only remains tor public sentiment to ex press itself in the selection of school directors to insure the steady, health ful and rational expansion of school activities." The Governor also vetoed the Bald- I win Senate bill making a State ap j propriation of one cent per acre on all forest reserves owned by the Statfe payable to counties. The Governor says the tax is too small to be of any use and that the State should not pay taxes on its own property to its sub di\ isions. He says that the State lands are an asset and an investment made for the benefit of posterity and that the State should be "encouraged and not hampered by taxation to the point of discouragement or discontinuance." The Eyre bill to appropriate $7,668.- 93 to New Garden township, Chester county, for the cost of repairing a State aid road was vetoed on the ground that the supervisors did not do what they should have done to se cure State aid for repairs and that there is a way by law to obtain the "equitable share of the fund created i by law to meet just such cases." The Snyder Senate bill increasing the salaries of the referees iii compen sation from $2,500 to $5,000 per year was approved by Governor Brum baugh last night. There were ten referees, who were appointed under the act of 1915, the State being di vided into eight districts. The bill also provided that the salaries of the clerks to referees should be increased from SI,OOO to $1,500. The Governor also signed the fol lowing Senate bills: Constituting a board of three com missioners on uniform State laws. Repealing act of June 13, 1911, re lative to appointment of deputy sher offs on duty in courtrooms in Alle gheny county. Validating contracts under which work has been done for improvements under act of May 11, 1909, which was declared unconstitutional. Authorizing Charles S. Grubb, of Dauphin county, to sue the State for damages for injuries alleged to have been received while in employ of the State Highway Department. Authorizing Theodore Davis and wife, of Erie county, to sue the State for injuries alleged to have been re ceived on a State highway. The Governor also approved the House bill providing for election of as sistant assessors in each election dis trict in boroughs and townships.

Ogden Armour, the groat packer of Chicago, think the food situation in the United States since we have entered the war, that he had this to say on the subject: "As a measure of conservation, for example, I should favor the institu tion, by government edict, if neces sary, of meatless days, one or two of them a week, such as they now have in Europe. This is a strange doctrine for a meat packer to preach, but I believe that either by law or volun tarily people will be obliged to stop eating so much meat during the sum mer months, especially if they expect to have a sufficient supply next fall and winter. Busy Times For Men Guarding Capitol These are busy days for the score of State Capitol Policemen, the dozen or sp State Policemen and plain clothes men who are co-operating with the various departmental and legislative watchmen in protecting: the State Cap itol. Numerous rumors have been afloat that efforts are being made to steal the plans for renewing the tint on the walls of some of the corridors in the north wing and that the exhibit of a model road in the State Highway De partment was being sought by an em issary of the Bulgarian government disguised in smoked glasses and a red wig. The orders closing at sunset all doors except the central bronze door, known as "The People's Doorway," came near being annulled the other night by a drunk who went into the building and becoming wedged in the revolving door required the assistance of some State Policemen before being extricated and shipped from the Hill in the patrol wagon. And last night re ports that a suspicious person was lurking about the north wing created much excitement. It turned out that the mysterious person was a drunk against whom a charge of indecency had to be made. Plain clothes men who have rein forced the Capitol policemen in the rotunda, are getting tired of drawing the fire of people they have to stop and question about bundles of la-un dry and there is more or less irrita tion displayed by the men on guard when people quiz them as to why very often Capitol policemen and State po licemen stroll up and down in each other's company. Reports that they are keeping watch on each other were indignantly denied last night.

Asking Reports of State Manufacturers In an effort to obtain complete first hand information on the manufactured preducts in Pennsylvania during 1916, Commissioner of Labor .nd Industry Jackson has sent a circular letter to all manufacturers in the state who have not yet filed statements of their pro duction.
