PENROSE TALKS
AGAINST CHANGE
Thinks Constitutional Con
vention Had Better Be Con
sidered For Two Years
Senator Penrose Saturday went
upon record as opposed to the hold
ing: of a convention to revise the
State Constitution, at least during:
the first two years of Governor
Sprout's administration, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer.
The consensus of opinion among:
members-elect of the Legislature
and close friends of the incomtng
Governqr is that this proposition will
be met by the appointment of a
commission which shall take under
consideration the various suggestions
for changes in the Constitution and
report their findings to the Legisla
ture which will convene on the first
Tuesday in January, 1921.
"Is it a question if the people of
the state want a constitutional con
vention at this time," remarked Sen
ator Penrose, at least during the first
| two years of the new Governor's
I administration. It should be re-
I membered that, due to the great war
crisis, abnormal conditions exist
everywhere and what is most needed
i now is peace and quiet' and cessa
! tion of agitation so that wo can go
through the processes of reconstruc
tion and readjustment which are go
ing to be hard enough at the best.
"It also should be remembered
! that over 300,000 voters are absent
and that the returning soldiers are
bound to be a dominant force and
influence and should have oppor
tunity to express their thoughts, not
only as men to whom we owe so
much for the successful outcome of
the war, but because of the experi
ence and knowledge they have
gained. They will constitute a re
markable expression of new progres
sive thought in the body of the elec
tors.
"Another matter in connection
with a constitutional convention,"
continued the Senator, "is that it
would be bound to cause controversy
and division, either in connection
with the division, either in connec
-1 tion with the convention itself or
the campaign for ratification on its
recommendations. The community
is so unsettled that it is doubtful it
the vitul questions involved could be
passed upon in a sane manner. It
is interesting to note that most state
! constitutions have failed to e
tied in recent years, particularly that
of New York, where some of the
greatest men In public life
members of the convention and yet
the constitution they produced was
a wonderful disappointment in its
style and contents and it was repudi
ated by the people."
In commenting upon the charter
revisions situation regarding the cur
tailing of the powers of the Mayor,
Senator Penrose said:
"I don't think there is any wide
divergence of views on the details
of the proposed reform legislation.
I am willing to go along with the
best thought of the majority. How
ever, the concentration of power in
the hand.s of a Mayor has proved a
failure and a source of corruption.
The legislation was copied after the
system made famous in Brooklyn
under Seth Low, but the theory has
passed among modern students of
municipal questions. I only want re- ,
suits that will take the police out of j
politics, stop assessments of office
holders and rescue the city*from
contractor government."

QUITS AFTER 54
YEARSjSERVICE
W. A. Patton, Assistant to
Pcnnsy President, Quits
on December 31
As the new year enters, the ca
reer of one of the most prominent
figures in railroad circles in the
country will end with the retire
ment of William A. Patton from ac
tlce service of the Pennsylvania
j Railroad.
I For nearly fifty-four years, dur
, ing which he rose from messenger to
j assistant to tho president of the
I railroad, Mr. Patton has served with
i the fidelity and wisdom that has
j placed his name among those of the
j foremost railroad executives in tho
I East.
Mr. Patton has worked with zenl
' for the success of the Young Men's
I Christian Association, in the affairs
'' of which he has played a prominent
' part. He is a prominent church
i man, active in the educational life
l of Philadelphia and active in the
historical organizations of the state.
; He also has been identified with the
' agricultural and commercial de
velopment of the Maryland and Vir
ginia peninsula, as well as the ad
; vancement of Norfolk, Va., as a
j seuport and railroad center.
Mr. Patton was born at Union
Furnace, Huntingdon county. Pa.,
on October 21, 1849. His father
moved to Altoona, becoming one of
I the principal businessmen of that
I city, and serving as its postmaster
i and judge.
i Mr. Patton's "opportunity" came
I in August, 1872, one year after he
1 went to Philadelphia, when he was
appointed chief clerk in the office of
Alexander J. Cassatt, then general
ni'anager of the company. It was
the beginning of a close official and
personal association between Mr.
Patton and Mr. Cassatt until the
latter's death ip 1906.
Mr. Patton became general as
sistant to the late George B. Rob
erts in 1884, and has retained the
same official position with the three
succeeding presidents of the Penn
sylvania system, namely, Alexander
J. Cassatt, James McCrea and Sam-
I uel Rea. He is a director in forty
five corporations of the Pennsylva
nia system. „ .
Mr. Patton's home is at Radnor.
He is a member of the Radnor Hunt
Club, St. Davids Golf Club, Merion
Cricket Club, Union League, Frank
lin Institute, the Pennsylvania
Scotch-Irish Society, the Pennsylva
nia Society of Sons of the Revolu
tion and the Historical Society of
Pennsylvania.
Cumberland Valley High
Line Construction Work
Is Nearing Completion
The Mason and Hanger Construc
tion Company, who have been do
ing the high line construction work
on the Cumberland Valley Railroad,
between Newville and Shippensburg
during the past two years, have
about completed their contract and
the majorliy of the employes have
been discharged.
The work was started at
ville and was done as far as °ak
ville. after which work was started
at Britton's woods. Some extensive
work has been done at all places and
now the Ensign Construction Com
pany has taken up the work where
the Mason and Hanger Company
finished. The Ensign Company is
doing grading and the laying of
tracks.
State Officials to Get ,
Passes in New Jersey
After a conference with the Gov
ernor, Secretary of State Martin, of
New Jersey announced, that he
would issue certificates entitling cer
tain state officials to ride on rail
roads in that state .despite the fed
eral railroad administration s recent
order cutting off passes. It will then
be necessary for the railroads to pay
the fares of passholders to the rail
road administration.
The New Jersey Secretary of
State holds that the railroads,
through legislative enactment, have
contractural relations with the state
by which the railroads are bound to
recognize pass riding officials. Of the
400 officials usually riding free, 200
will be cut off. Mr. Martin's passes
will be issued only to those entitled
to free transportation under 'the
original railroad act and railroad re
vision. These include members of
the Legislature, Judges and the gov
ernor.
