of near Eminitsburg, Frederick coun
ty, Md., and a brother to William J.

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.

Chicago Meat King
Favors Meatless Days
jjj| y'';—T —wuu'< ■■(
D£M M UU&f
So serious dees J. 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.
The circular calls attention to the
fact that the statistics are desirable at

and says that while it Is the policy of
the department to require compliance
with the act governing reports with as
little trouble to manufacturers as pos
sible. it is the intention, to take pro
ceedings in court in case statements
are not tiled.
