H ARRISBTTRG TELEGRAPH
STATECHAMBER
OF COMMERCE, IN
LIVELY REPORT
Facts aRd Figures Show Im
portant Role Being Played
in State and Nation
That the Pennsylvania State Cham
ber of Commerce Is a live organiza
tion and has an Important part to
play in the welfare of the state, is
evidenced by its report covering the
one and one-half-year period from
the date of its organization in De
cember, 1916, i/ntll June 1, 1918.
The report Is quite comprehensive in
its treatment of the varied scope of
the Chamber's activities.
It contains a foreword by Presi
dent Alba B. Johnson, a report of
the General Secretary, Paul Little
field a report of the Director of the
Agricultural Bureau, F. R. Stevens,
field, a report of the Director of the
nan, Director of the x Legislative and
Research Bureau.
The report shows that during the
year 1917, $19,375 was received in
dues from memberships and during
the first five months of this year, $37,-
876 has been received In dues from
new memberships. The membership
to-day exceeds 3.500.
President Johnson in his foreword
says in part:
"Opportunities for further useful
ness are constantly developing.
"The Pennsylvania State Chamber
of Commerce has nothing to do with
partisan politics. It keeps Itself as
far as possible apart from any par
ticipation in political questions. Its
purpose is to perform for the state,
functions which have not been per
formed hitherto and which It hopes
to perform with such effectiveness as
to give it a recognized position of
usefulness In the commercial and so
cial economy of Pennsylvania. That
the need of such an organization has
been widely felt, is shown by the fact
similar organizations have been
formed in a number of other states.
Among these the Pennsylvania
State Chamber of Commerce hopes
to hold an honorable position."
The report of Paul Littlefield, gen
eral secretary, shows that 40 bulle
tins regarding legislative matters
were issued during the last session
of the General Assembly.
The report continues:
"The session of 1917 of the General
Assembly enacted 426 laws; 43 con
current resolutions were passed
which were signed by the Governor
and three resolutions were adopted
which did not require the signature
of the chief executive. The Governor
vetoed 120 bills which were passed
by the Senate and House.
'.'The Senate and House.also passed
joint resolutions submitting two
\mendments to* the state constitution
to a vote of the electors and proposed
four amendments for the further
consideration of the next Legisla
ture.
"The House of Representatives had j
introduced by its members or sent ■
to it by the Senate, 2,116 bills and
54 resolutions and In the Senate
there was introduced by Senators or
sent to the Senate by the House 1,771
bills.
"The Legislature enacted legisla
tion creating commissions to Investi
gate the subjects of old age pen
sions, health insurance, the revision
of the Insurance laws and the- codi
fication and revision of the Bank
ing laws."
The State chamber has appointed
committees of its membership on these
three subjects which will make re- i
ports to the State chamber up<|n |
the conclusion of the research work
of the Legislative and Research Bu
reau of the State chamber of these
topics.
The question of the rapid loading
and unloading of inbound and out
bound freight cars was considered by
the State chamber and record blanks
for railroad shippers were distributed
in considerable quantities.
With regard to war excess profits
tax payments. Support was given to
a bill introduced into Congress by
Louis T. McFadden, a member
of Congress from Pennsylvania,
and a director in the State chamber,
providing for partially deferred pay
ments of war excess profits taxes.
The Legislative and Research Bu
reau published under date of May
18th, a report of a special inquiry
relative to the Federal Prohibition
Amendment. This report which con
tains 96 pages, has received favorable
comment and there Is such demand
for copies of the report. Dr. Cren
nan. the director, Is at present mak
ing a careful study of old age pen
sions and health insurance.
F. R. Stevens, director of the Agri
cultural Bureau, reports that the
219,000 farms in Pennsylvania, ac
cording to the census of 1910, are In
a prosperous condition, yet, there is
much to be desired in greater finan
cial returns from these farms.
"Under the management of our
State College of Agriculture." con
tinues the report, "direct and through
the county agents, agricultural edu
cation from a technical standpoint
is proceeding in a very satisfactory
manner, in fact, as rapidly as can
be desired. The principal obstacle
to Increase profits is lack of organ
ization among the rarmers them
-1 selves and laws which prevent or
ganizations being made effective.

Dr. B. Franklin Royer said to-day
that for the first year after the
School Code became a law, 1,617
districts, largely through misinfor
mation, voted against medical in
spection. As the advantages of
school medical inspection to indi
vidual pupils became apparent, and
as parents and school boards began
to see the advantages of such medi-
I'al inspection and of sanitary in
spection, fewer districts voted nega
tively each year. In 1917 but sev
enty-nine school districts voted
against inspection and for the cur
rent year oni>* 63 boards out ot
2,3 83 have dared deny pupils in the
public schools of the fourth class
districts that great advantage which
the Legislature placed tvlthin their
reach. "School boards to-day voting
against medical inspection are guilty
of gross neglect and will have a
hard time explaining to the patrons
of the district that they have not
been 'slacking' in their relations to
the community which they have
been elected to serve,
"Since school medical inspection
was organized by the Department of |
Health for the fourth-class districts i
two and a half million individual!
examinations have been made and 1
more than 70 per cent, of the pupils]
have been found defective in one or'
more particulars. About 18 per;
cent, have defective vision, 60 per!
cent, of the pupils, have defective'
teeth, 6 per cent, have defective 1
breathing: due to some sort of ob
struction in the upper air passages,
and 2 per cent, have defective hear-:
ins."

Trade Expert to Address
Commerce Chamber at
Luncheon on July 30
Dr. Clarence J. Owena, Washington,
D. C., probably one of the best known
authorities on commerce problems in
this country, and international trade
expert, will address a luncheon meet
ing of the Harrisburg Chamber of
Commerce In tho Board of Trade
building on Tuesday, July 30.
'The Importance of a Chamber of
Commerce in Wiiuiing the War" will
be the subject of his address. He
will speak on his own trade experi
ences and on the things being ac
complished b/ Chambers of Com
merce all over the country.
Dr. Owens is managing director of
the Southern Commercial Congress
and executive secretary of the House
of Southern Governors of sixteen
states. in addition he is executive
secretary of the National Association
of State Commissioners of Agricul
ture. He was director general of the
American commission which made an
investigation of agricultural finance
in 18 European countries early In
1913. As a result of that Investiga
tion the Federal farm loan act was
enacted which makes liquid every
acre of land at a basis of credit for
a long'time mortgage loan, at a low
rate of Interest. He was also execu
tive secretary of the International
Municipal Congress which met in Lon
don in 1914. The following year he
went to Central America as director

Fakers in Uniform Have
Easy Pickings in Germany
Amsterdam, July 20.—An extraor
dinary instance of Teutonic, servility
where uniforms are concerned has oc
curred at Essen. A party of three
armed individuals, two in soldiers' and
one in a policeman's uniform, made a
round of all the schools of the town,
representing themselves to be author
ized to collect the children's satchels.
They paid a trifle In each case for
the leather straps attached to them,
and carried away their booty. After a
few days, the whole affair was discov
ered to be a swindle.
"How it is possible that this could
have been carried on for days without
any one having the courage to chal
lenge their authority remains one of
the' mysteries of this war," says the
Rhenish Westphalian Gazette.
