HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
GOVERNOR SIGNS
AND VETOES BILL
Puts His Signature to One
Measure and Puts the Ax
to Two Others
In approving the House bill in
creasing salaries of Philadelphia
magistrates from $3.00J to $4,000 a
year Governor Brumbatigh to-day is
sued a statement in which he said
that while he has opposed increases
he is mindful of the fact that the
minor judiciary has du
ties and determines many cases that
would otherwise get Into the courts
and increase expense and delays.
"The Impelling reason for approv
ing this bill Is the fact that these
magistrates pay rent for their offices
and employ at their own expense a
clerk and also bear from their sal
aries the cost of stationery, stamps
and other office supplies. The net
salary Is inconsiderable and If men
of the type worthy to serve are
chosen they should be given this
salary. Others should not be allow
ed to serve," concludes the Governor.
The Governor vetoed the House
bill providing that Allegheny county
orphans court judges should fix sal
aries of assistant clerks, holding that
the salary board should pass on the
salaries and that 1 if such power was
to be given to the judges it should
bo uniform throughout the State.
In vetoing a House bill to refund
money paid by a Pittsburgh concern
for a oleomargarine license the Gov
ernor says there is nothing in the
bill to show that the company was
misled by any State official and that
it a mistake was made it was the
company's own act.
Governor Brumbaugh to-day ve
toed a bill which was an echo of
the special session of the Senate of
1883. It was to pay SSOO to the es
tate of the late Joseph P. Kennedy,
who was a senator from Philadel
phia. The Governor says that the
bill was designed to pay the senator
for attending the session. "The
claim is ancient," says the Gover
nor. "No reason is given for this
long delay. No assurance is given
that he attended this extra session.
The title provides for a refund an'd
the body of the bill provides not for
a refund but for a payment. The
fact is that there is no refund in
volved. It is a claim made after a
third of a century* and is not sup
ported by sufficient evidence to war
rant its recognition. This claim
should have been attended to long,
long ago and this delay does not add
to the credibility of the obligation."

"5 State government
high cost of living
I and other matters
11l JwfflMWllnlttf whlch are being
MJalKWll [fyf¥ urged as reasons
pgPHUiailHl why more money
should be voted
to the attaches of
the government will be settled In the
Senate next week. The latest Infor
mation is that the McNickol salary
adjuster, which fixed every salary in
the State government and was a
monumental piece of work, the result
of long labor and study, is to be
abandoned and instead the Burke
bill, which includes some of the fea
tures of the Crew bill, will be passed.
The Burke bill, in brief, gives an
Increase of Jl5O per year to all per
sons on the State pay roll receiving
less than $1,500 per year. There are
scores in that class, many of whom
get $1,200 to $1,300 and there has
been no change in their salaries for
years. Efforts may be made to ad
vance persons getting more than
$1,500, but it Is not likely that they
will get by. The Burke bill would
increase the pay roll by about $300.-
000 a year. The MeNichol bill
meant SBOO,OOO.
It is said that the Governor is not
disposed to pass any more salary
raisers over his desk although there
are some big ones on the lists. The
bill to Increase the salary of the Gov
ernor would not affect him as under
the law he could not accept any of
It. Neither the increasg of the salar
ies of the compensation board nor
the jump in salaries of legislative at
taches will be approved, it is said.
State Funds Decline. One of the
reasons why the State Defense Com
mission has been so chary about
voting much money to the Public
Safety committee will be manifest
to-night when the statement of the
business of the State Treasury for
May is announced. The State's reve
nues generally strike the sliding
board in May and it is said that the
decrease in income as compared with
March and earlier months will be
notable. During May, June and July
the State authorities contract pay
ments as much as possible because in
the late summer payment of the
State school appropriation becomes
due and it is necessary to husband
money to meet this big demand.
Commission to Meet. The State
Defense Commission has been called
to meet in the office of Governor
Brumbaugh to-night to discuss fu
ture plans, notably those to be adopt
ed in connection with the registra
tion. At the request of Governor
Brumbaugh, Attorney General
Brown went to Washington to secure
Information on certain points in the
registration.
Went to Philadelphia.—Dairy and
Food Commissioner Foust went to
Philadelphia to-day on matters con
nected with his bureau.
Bltls Next Week. The State
Highway Department will open bids
next week tor the construction of
J}ve sections of road, including that
in Swatara township.
New Officers—Oliver Howard Pax
son, Jr., of Philadelphia, was to-day
appointed a second lieutenant in the
machinegun company of the Third
Infantry, and Dr. W. Clyde Decker,
of Philadelphia, was appointed a first
lieutenant in the dental corps.
The third ambulance company of
the National Guard will be mustered
into the guard to-night at Lancaster,
by Lieutenant Colonel F. B. Beary,
of the Adjutant General's Depart
ment. The fourth is being organized
at Pittsburgh.
Men Must Register—Notices are
being given to attaches of depart
ments of the state government who
are engaged in field work and who
are within the age limits of the se
lective draft that they must give at
tention to registration on June 5,
regardless of state work. Prepara
tions for the registration are reported
as close to completion at the office
of the bureau here.
Ashland Complains—The borough
of Ashland to-day filed complaint
with the Public Service Commission

WANTS NO TERRITORY
By Associated Press
Amsterdam, May 31.—The decla

Germany wishes solely to defend her

moreover demands such guarantees
