16 COMMISSION TO HANDLE THE FUND ptate Defense Body Informs Chairman Pepper That It Is Responsible For Money "The Legislature, in complying with the wishes of the people that the appropriation for the commit tee's use be made, has created a Commission of Public Safety and Defense. The creation of this board has been welcomed by the executive committee as an additional assur ance to the peope that the commit tee's trust will be fulfilled." It was this concluding paragraph in the statement recently made to the State Commission of Defense by George Wharton Pepper, prominent Philadelphia attorney and church man, who is chairman of the Penn sylvania Public Safety Committee, that evoked the letter the Governor sent to Air. Pepper in which the lat ter was informed that the $2,000,000 war fund provided for by the Legis lature was not for the direct use of the committee. This was ascertained from mem bers of the commission who frankly stated that any State money the committee might expect to expend, it could secure only through the com mission which was authorized to dis burse the $2,000,000 appropriation by the same act by which it was created. These same members took excep tion to Mr. Pepper's concluding paragraph and pointed to the para graph in the Governor's letter, which be wrote as chairman of the com ■mission, which read: "We cannot agree with your statement that the appropriation of $2,000,000 made by the General Assembly was for the use of your committee. The act creating the Commission of Public •Safety and Defense speaks for itself and a perusal of it will, I am sure, convince you of the fact that the $2,000,000 appropriation is to be expended at the discretion of the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor and the military board of the Com monwealth." The "statement" referred to in the Governor's letter was the paragraph with which Mr. Pepper wound up his presentation o£ the activities of the committee to the commission. In this same presentation Mr. Pep per embodied a statement of expen ditures incurred by the committee and of the loan of $25,000 made to it hy E. T. Stotesbury, a member of its executive committee, which the commission has since authorized the committee to make up from the $50,- ©OO with which it is to provide the ■ committee. At least ten days will probably elapse before the committee will re ceive this $50,000 as Lieutenant Gov ernor McClain, who was last night chosen treasurer of the commission at a meeting of that body in the Governor's office, must file a bond for SIOO,OOO. or $200,00, before he can 1 hand over a penny to the commit tee. Time will be required not only for the Lieutenant Governor to file the ; necessary bond with the State Board • of Public Buildings and Grounds, but a bonding company, as well as a depository for all, or, any part of Hhe $2,000,000 appropriation, must lirst be found by him. The depository must be a State or national bank with a capital and surplus of at least four times the amount of the deposit made with it by the Lieutenant Governor, as I treasurer of the commission, while : it furnishes itself a bond worth twice the amount of the deposit. Besides electing the Lieutenant Governor its treasurer last night, Ihe having been previously chosen its secretary, the commission decreed that a representative of Auditor General Snyder, who as ft member of the State Military Board, is identified with the commis sion, should be detailed to the head quarters of the committee In Phil adelphia to supervise every expen , diture made by Mr. Pepper and his associates of State funds. Members of the commission ex , plained that this would be done in order that the Auditor General, as well as the Lieutenant Governor and State Treasurer, might Ue kept i advised as to what was being done with any part of the $2,000,000 war fund the commission might place iat the committee's disposal. No re : flection was intended upon the abil- I ity of Mr. Pepper and his associates to look after the committee's ' finances, but merely In accordance j with the usual procedure of the Au 'ditor General's office in checking up ion appropriations disbursed by the i State. Another move made by the com- I mission was to agree upon certain amendments to the bill sponsored i by Senator Vare which provides for , the issuance of $20,000,000 worth of i State bonds by the State Revenue ' Commission for war purpose. These I amendments are intended to per fect the Vare measure, which, fol | lowing its introduction in the Sen- I ate on April 11, was referred to the , Senate appropriations committee, of I which Senator Buckman, author of I the bill which created the commis ! slon, is chairman. The commission will advocate, among other amendments, the In i sertion in the body of the Vare bill i of a section embodying also certain I provisions contained in its title ) which reads: "An act authorizing I the borrowing of money by the State j for the purpose of repellig invasions, i suppressing insurrections and de i lending the State in war, designating : the persons authorized to expend the money so borrowed, prescribing the manner in which such money may be drawn from the State Treas < ury and making certain appropria tions." The Legislature will also be urged by the commission to pass the bill ln its amended form as speedily as ; possible so that the issuance of the | bonds may be authorized as soon as deemed necessary and the money raised by them used for State war I purposes when that becomes impera • tive. It is believed that the Legislature will do so, especially as the Gover . nor has pointed out that with $3,- f>oo,ooo in the State Treasury and the state finances likely to remain at i a low ebb from now on until the fall j because of the drain upon them by , appropriations for other than war ! purposes, additional revenues are j required and will be required. Should the Legislature not act i before it adjourns sine die, which is now expected to be on June 28, | a special session, it Is declared, " would ultimately become necessary ln order to provide state funds for : war purposes.
