NEWMARK&COWN :D8 E.oad Street - _ _l_ _ J I I HI J I'OI.ITH \l. \l>\ FHTIMX<; Vote "YES" $ , To All Road Users: i Does Dauphin county —does Central Pennsylvania —know the economic handicap of BAD ROADS? "YES"— Because with few exceptions this section of the state has never had good roads. Is it not a fact that while the merchants of the market centers suffer as a result, THE FARMER SUFFERS MORE, because of the increased cost of getting his produce to market? -YES"— Good roads bring the farms closer to town; they reduce the cost of transportation; they cut down the time re quired to get from place to place. Doesn't that make Good Roads a direct BENEFIT to the Farmer, the Business Man, the Consumer, the Auto mobilist—in fact the General Public? "YES"— Is there a remedy? "YES"— Is it by voting for Constitutional Amendment No. 1 on the election ballot next Tuesday? "YES"— Does that authorize the legislature to pass enabling legislation, so that without a cent of increased taxes on the farmers or anybody else, the state may from time to time issue bonds for road improvements? "YES"— Then listen: Support Amendment No. 1 on Tuesday. Vote "Yes." Improved roadc must come. Pennsylvania demands them. Provide the State with the means to build them rapidly— by a loan if necessary. Don't take a chance that the necessity for good roads • might result in a curtailed appropriation for our schools and worthy charitable institutions. Vote for the so-called "fifty million bond issue," with the assurance that bonds will not be used unless absolutely necessary—and in no event until after the war is over.

Orders raising the ban on various counties for Saturday or early next week will be issued soon. | The situation in both coal Hclds ts | reported improving. At Pittsburgh j agents of the department are taking I evidence against violators of the | closing order adn suits will be | brought. Or. Royer's Statement Dr. Ro.ver's statement says, in j substance: I "The Attorney General's Dcpart , emnt has advised me that the re | ported action of Judge Land's en -1 joining the commissioner of health land the front maintaining I a quarantine injunction against the I City of Lancaster, amounting in ef | feet to a mandatory injunction toi | run the trains into Lancaster and I accept passengers to and from that j point, is an unwarranted assuntp jtion of judicial authority, without j legal effect, and which both the railroads and myself might properly disregard, for the reason that the court of common pteas of Dauphin county is the only court having ju risdiction to enjoin the heads of I state departments with reference to I tlie promulgation and enforcement jof their official ortfcrs, as it would | be intolerable for such officials to i bo compelled to appear in different j and widely-separated counties of | the commonwealth and be subjected ,to different and possibly conflicting orders with reference to the same matter; and. in this particular case, for the further reason that the city solicito, in preparing the bill, failed to comply with the equity rules of the Supreme Court by endorsing on. or having contained In, the bill in equity any notice to the defendants to appear and answer. "It Is the more irregular anr un justifiable because it was issued j without notice or hearing, although the parties knew that representatives of the Department of Health as well as of the Attorney General's Depart ment were in Lancaster at the time, and especialyl so because It was granted with full knowledge of the fact that its legality could not be questioned or decided either in the court of common pleas of Lancas ter county or in an appellate court, because before such a hearing could be had the time for lifting the ban closing the saloons in the City of Lancaster (next Tuesday noon) would have expired and the ques tion would have become a moot one ! not reviewable in the courts. "Such action is in line with the reported previous conduct of the parties involved, which was tata mount to counsel and encouragement to the liquor dealers of Lancaster to violate the established law, an amaz ing tiling to come from those whose especial duty as well as sworn obli gation it is to enforce the laws of the commonwealth. "Were it not for the fact that the health conditions in the City of Lancaster are improving to such an extent that the ban may be safely lifted on Tuesday, I would request the Governor to declare the city under martial law and enforce the phy c ical closing of the few (fifteen out of seventy-live) defiant saloon keepers, a power which unques tionably exists. "In view of the improved condi tions, I have decided not to resort to this drastic course merely to en force compliance with the law by closing the saloons for one day, and I leave the responsibility "for the vio lation of the law by those few defi ant liquor men, with its attendant and contempt for law and authority, where It belongs, on the shoulders of those who coun seled or encouraged such violations as well as the municipal authorities who refused to aid the department in the enforcement of its orders. "I hereby give warning, however, that this step must not be taken as a precedent by other municipalities, which following the example of the City of Lancaster, have threatened to disobey the regulations and or ders of this department issued pur suant to law, but the health condi tions of which have not improved to the same extent as now exist in Lancaster, and where conditions are such that the ban imposed by this department cannot safely be lifted, the order will lie enforced by every means at the control of the com monwealth."
