"DRY" AND SUFFRAGE
AMENDMENT URGED
The amendment to the Federal Constitution forbidding
the manufacture and aale of Intoxicating liquors through
out the nation has become a part of the fundamental laws
of the land. The necessary three-fourths of all of the
States of the Union, whose Legislatures sat last year or
organised early In this year, have already indicated their
ratification. While Pennsylvania's action upon the amend
ment does not now affect the situation insofar as the ulti
mate result la concerned, I hope that prompt alhrmatlve
action may be taken by the Legislature that Pennsylvania
may not be out of line with the practically unanimous senti
ment of her sister States in the greatest and most far-reach
ing self-disciplinary measure ever taken by any ngtlon in
all history.
The wonderful devotion, superb efficiency and noble patri
otism of the women of Pennsylvania sliould bring them
prompt recognition of their claim for and inherent right bo
full citizenship. If Congress shall submit an amendment
giving universal suffrage we should promptly approve it. If
Congress shall not act favorably upon the matter a resolu
tion proposing a State amendment should be passed.
We should have a new classic geological survey of the
State of Pennsylvania. The field work of the last survey
was principally made about thirty-five years ago. Mean
while geological science has progressed more rapidly than
at any other period In its history. The institution of a new

of philosophic and applied geology as a happy omen har

State has had two such surveys. The first laid down the
broad lines of geological structure and was of fundamental
importance: the second filled in many details, accumulated
a large store of information gathered by many competent
workers, but these details of knowledge were not well
digested and while its reports were multitudinous they are
not inaptly compared to the scattered parts of a great
mosaic. It is long since these activities in Pennsyl
vania ceased while Pennsylvania still remains the store
house of uutold geological wealth, not alone in the poten
tialities of the new mineral industries but in its unread
chapters of the most impressive periods in geological his

because of the lack of easily acquired Information relative

CITY PROBLEMS ARE
URGED ON ASSEMBLY
Oar greatest city needs assistance in the way of develop
ing and regulating legislation. Many minds are now work
ing upon the problem and many divergent views are ex
pressed. There seems to be general agreement, however,
upou tlie essential points of u greater degree of home rule
within the limitations of the present constitution, a better
fiscal policy, a reduced legislative body to replace the pres
ent unwieldly bi-cameral Councils, and the absolute removal
of tho forces of public safety from partisan politics. It is
to be hoped that the various elements in the situation may
get together and that Philadelphia may secure some much
needed changes in her administrative organization.
The mine-cave situation in Beranton and thereabouts is
still menacing and if an effective and satisfactory agree
ment cannot be reached that will protect this splendid city
and relieve her inhabitants from the blight of this incubus
upon the development of their community, the power of the
State must not be withheld in remedying an intolerable
situation.
Fortunate in having access to the three principal systems
of water-borne commerce, Pennsylvania has not been so
forward-looking as she might have been In laying plana for
the development of her ports on the l>e!awarp, her lake
harbor at Erie and her outlet In the Pittsburgh district to
the Mississippi Valley. May we not take some definite
steps to assist in making practical improvements in all of '
these directions? With the demands of the national gov
ernment upon our taxpaying powers, however, these enter
prises seem more than ever to be rightfully a concern of the
nation.
Philadlphla draws much of her trade and finds an outlet
for her increasing population in the section of the State of
New Jersey close at hand. It is remarkable that a bridge
or tunnel has not long since connected the great city with
the environs seperated from it by a river but one-half mile
wide. The State of New Jersey has authorized a participa
tion in the building of a bridge and has provided a method
for raising the necessary funds to finance one-half of the
cost. We should meet this situation promptly and, in con
junction with the city of Philadelphia, should get ready to
join in the undertaking. We can spare enough out of our
current revenues to bear the State's proportion in what
might be inudc a great memorial structure In honor of our
brave soldiers and sailors.
There will undoubtedly bo a general movement in onr
communities to erect permanent memorials to onr heroes
of the war. I trust that these memorials may be useful and
beautiful. Many of the monuments which have been built at
our county seats and elsewhere In commemoration of the
vulorous deeds of the defenders of the Union are inartistic
and inaj>propriate. We ought to take steps now to prevent
a repetition of this mistake. An Art Commission to which
should be submitted designs for monuments and public
ARMOUR THRUSTS
I WARNING BEFORE
SENATEPROBERS
Tells Them "Monkey Wrench
in Gears of Meat Business"
Will Be Perilous
By Associated Press
Washington, Jan. 21. J. Ogdeni
Armour, president of Armour :
Company, told the House Interstate!
Commerce committee to-day thatj
pending legislation to regulate the
meat packing industry was re
actionary" and part of it probably
unconstitutional. He warned Con-'
gross that "If a monkey wrench Is
thrown into the gears of this busi
ness," its effects would be felt in
many other lines of Industry.
Warns Against Interference
"If the ability of the packing in
dustry to function properly is im
paired," he asserted, "it will affect
I the livestock industry and it in turn
will affect corn prices. Wheat will
I then be drawn in, and so will bread,
|and so will labor, and so will every-'
thing that has for its basis the
wealth produced by agriculture.
"The theories on which pending
legislation is based are not construc
tive, they are not progressive. They
are reactionary. They wpuld disrupt!
the great manufacturing nnd mar- j
keting machinery which half a con-i
tury of enterprise has evolved and 1
the results would be detrimental not
alone to the leading industry of this
nation, but even more so that por- •
tion of the public which produces, j
and to the entire public which con-!
sumos food."
Regarding the possibility of gov-1
ornment ownership of stockyards;
and other adjuncts to the packing!
industry, Mr. Armour said: .
Red Tape Hold Progress
"Ownership by the government!
implies red tape and restrictions
which cannot help but add to the:
costs of the service, costs which must |
eventually be borne either by the!
producer or the consumer. Govern-1
ment ownership implic*, too, the|
abolition of the private initiative!
and enterprise which has made itj
possible to erect an efficient stock
yards almost overnight when occa
sion justified it.
Slow in Deciding
"The government, you know, does
not make up its mind'very quickly
on such matters, as is evidenced by
the years' old controversies over the
building of post offices or such com
partively trivial matters as to wheth
er cities should have underground
mail chutes."
Profits made by Armour A Com
pany, Mr. Armour declared, "rep
resent a return of less than two cents
on every dollar of sales. The margin
of profit in the packing industry is
the smallest enjoyed by any indus
try of national consequence."
Gross volumes of sales by his'
company in 1918, he said, totsled !
$B6l 000.000 compared with $575,- 1
000,000 in 1917, but the net income!
was at the rate of nine per cent, on I
the average net capital Invested. He!
added that the 400 per cent, stock
dividend in 1916, whereby the cap-!
itnl stock was raised from $20,000,-
000 to SIOO,OOO 000, was made pos
sible by reinvestment during pre
ceding xfars of seventy-one por cent,
of the aggregate earnings.
Pork Prices Greatly Increased
The high price of meat. Mr. Arm
our said, was the real reason why
President Wilson ordered the e eat'
packing investigation by the Federal I
Trade Commission. Within the past
four years, he said, the price of live
hogs had Increased 245 per cent, and
costs of labor, clerical help and fuel
had doubled.
As only seventy per cent of a hog
is edible end the remaining thirty
per cent, of by-products have not In
creased in value as rapidly as the
live animal, he said, it could be un
derstood why bacon to-day costs
three timos What It did four years
ago. He added that prlees of live
cattle and sheep have advanced at
a pace with that of hoga
Charges by the commission of col
lusion among the five big packing
firms to control prices were denied
by the witness, who asserted:
Denles Combination
"Armour & Company are not now
1 and have not been for many years a
| party to any pool, arrangement,
agreement or combination for the
■ control, regulation or limitation, or
I restriction of the purchase of live-
I stock or the sale of any of the prod
ucts or by-products thereof."
| Mr. Armour declared that there
I was keen competition between his
tlrm and Swift, Morris, Cudahy and
Wilson, and denied that there was
any combination among the packers
to tlx prices.
Refutes Packers' Charges
Regarding the charge of "outside
lines" by the packers, he declared
the Armour Company had under
! taken the sale of many lines which
j it does not manufacture only be
cause of the demand from their
! customers, who could not obtain sat
j isfactory service elsewhere. Ho de
nled that his Arm had ehtered or ln
) tended to enter the retail business,
| or that it was interested in fish and
vegetable canneries.
Armour & Company, the witness
I asserted, owns no livestock cars and
; only sufficient refrigerator cars to
j handle its own goods efficiently.
COAL COMPANIES
FIGHT ASSESSMENT
[Continued from First Page.]
J I.no 000 to $60,000,000 can be
seen only when it Is recognized that
iiie .ax rate, five mills last year,
can be cut in half or less, or a fund
raised without stint for the build
ing of the proposed new courthouse,
needed bridges and the making of
improved highways.
J-ook For Contest
County Commissioner Henry M.
Stine, to whom credit is due for the
investigation, speaking of the coal
land assessments said: "We have
had a number of conferences with
the expert we employed and wi.l re
ceive his complete report next month
as contracted for. Until then we
could not make any definite state
ment except that the valuations of
the coal fields in all probability will
be placed that' high that the com
panies will appeal to court, and it
will be necessary to prove the ac
curacy of the assessments. It is for
this purpose that experts were en
gaged to ynake a careful survey and
leport to us. Just as other counties
have done."
Much of the land held in the
upper end of the county is alleged
by the holding corporation to be al- |
most valueless. No coal has been |
taken from the land and up until i
the present investigation the coun- '
ty has never been sure whether the
land is worthless or the most valu- !
able anthracite claim in the United
btaies. These thousands of acres
likely will prove the bone on con- j
tention in the county courts.
Commissioner Stine months ago '
urged the employment of a raining 1
engineer to study the coal beds here i
so that when the triennial revision |
of property valuations would bo j
made the county commissioners j
dould increase the coal land assess- j
ment. Commissioners C. C. Cumb
ler and H. C. Wells approved of the
plan also and after a short delibera
tion secured T. Klisworth Davies, of
Scranton. Later he was retained |

LEGAL PREVENTION OF
STOCK SWINDLING URGED
The Federal bureau in charge of the regulation of the
issue of securities during the war has, in its report, given
an estimate that over two hundred millions of dollars are
annually abstracted from the people of the United States by
means of the sale to the unsuspecting and Inexperienced of
unsecured or fraudulent stocks and bonda. Just now a
favorite plan of the promoters of shady schemes is to offer
to trade Liberty Bonds for other so-called securities prom
ising a higher Interest return. Much of thjs kind of busi
ness is going on in Pennsylvania to the great harm of our
people. The disappointment and loss occasioned by the
inevitable full tire of these schemes shakes the confidence
of the victims In all forms of investment, discourages thrift
and liarms legitimate enterprise. We should have a law
giving the Commissioner of Banking the power to investi
gate and report upon all corporations seeking to sell securi
ties to our people, and to forbid the salo of any stocks or
bonds here without his authority.
The Council of National Defense and Committee of Public
Safety should be continued in a modified form to help in
meeting the problems of peace. The Council of National
Defeuse won the commendation of the officials at Washing
ton and was ranked as the best and most efficient organisa
tion of the kind in the whole country. It has developed and
given to the State many useful agencies aiul has brought
Into public life many citizens who will udd greatly to our
force of trained public servants. These men and women
should not be allowed to become disorganized and their u>e
fulness lost to the State. The body should be continued
as a Council of Ihtblic Welfare, and some of the lines of
duty which it has been handling as war measures should be
' continued as serviceable adjuncts to the State government
in times of peace. Certain of the agricultural, educational
and conservation plans of the Council should be continued
and enlarged, and the excellent system of volunteer poilpe
which has brought a fine body of citizens into touch with
the authorities throughout the Btate, should be provided for
as a permanent body.

Guard when we come to re-establish that organlzaltoa. The
wonderful record of our Pennsylvania National Guard units
In the greutcst battles In history, is a source of pride to
every citizen of the State. The reorganization of the Na
tional Guard of Pennsylvania must he undertaken as early
ns possible and the splendid traditlona of that historic force
preserved for the glory of the State. Our discharged sol
diers and former guurdsmen must be invited to return to
the service and every effort niado to again build up our force

The Important subjects of 'old age pensions and insur
ance against sickness will come before the Legislature in
the shape of reports from the commissions appointed two
years ago to investigate those new lines of humane pro
vision in Pennsylvania. I do not know whether the work
of these commissions has proceeded far enough to —eN*
tlicm to make definite recommendations. These matters
will have to he given close attention and possibly should
be referred together to a Joint commission which could
devise plans for welding them into a tangible relation with
one another and then bring the whole Bnbject up for In
clusion in the State's social program. The report of the
commission for the codification of the banking laws will
also be awaited with much Interest. This Is an Important
subject especially In view of the great functions which the
banks are performing in the country at fh< time.

sidered for the Improvement of the State's property In Hnr
rlaburg and the development of the Capitol Park. We

cordance with the adopted scheme to house the depart
ments which are now, scattered about the city and over the
State. This is in line with the thought that the Statu
should set an example in proceeding with construction dur
ing the brief period of business uncertainty which ta pos
sibly before us.
This Is a long message, and yet I have barely touched
upon the things of importance which should receive our at
tention. These are times of action and of movement, and
we, In this wonderfully blessed State must give the beat
that is in us to promote the happiness and welfare of our
splendid people. 1 have railed about me finely qualified

of my office and I shall exjject every servant of tne State
to do the same, and to Justify the faith and trust which
you have shown In us. I usk your co-operation and yunr
prayers for the State and for those who are trying their
best to serve you. in the language of that exalted patriot
and leader who for a generation "stood four square arslest
all the evil winds that blew" and who lay down to his eter

good place for any of us to live In unless we make It a
good place for all of us to live In." -That is what we shall
try to accomplish in Pennsylvania, and we want you to
help us all the time.
