NEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE
TEACHERS'RAISE
MUCH DISCUSSED
Lawmakers Fear m t Will Cut
Too Much From Reve
nue in Sight
Vfie qu*lon of state revenues is
going to have considerable to do
with the increase in salaries asked
by the school teachers of the state
and from the way in which It Is
viewed here now by legislators who
will handle appropriations It Is diffi
cult to see how the teachers, worthy
as their cause Is acknowledged to
be, can expect to obtain the entire
amount of money from the state
that they dlsire. Something close
to $20,000,000 is ' biennially appro
priated for public school purposes,
according to Chairman William J.
McCaig, of the House appropriations
committee and ho clairds that some
method along the lines of local
taxation to meet increased teach
ers' salaries will have to be arrang
ed if the project is to be successful
in the way that the teachers want
it to bo. There is a disposition on
the part of the Legislature to grant
$3,000,000 toward the increase in
salaries and that would leavemany
millions more to be plied by t,lie
school districts of Pennsylvania.
To do that some school districts
would have to obtain the consent of
tlie Legislature and signature of the
Governor to increase, the limit of
their powers to assess school taxes.
The .thought of tho teachers that
this monty can be taken from other
accounts here and transferred to
education has thus far failed to fall
on fertile ground. Some have sug
gested that the state look about for
additional sources- of revenut but
with the various taxes, all of them
heavy, that the nation is exacting
from individuals and the business
world alike, the lawmakers are leary
about increasing burdens of business
establishments and corporations of
Pennsylvania at this time. The cor
porations have always stood the bur
den of taxation in this state. There
will be a drop in liquor revenues
and while the automobile tax is
always bringing greater revenues it
is appropriated for roads. The ac
tivity of Auditor General Charles
A. Snyder has added to tho state
receipts, but. there is not near
enough, those competent to know
say to take care of the teachers' re
quest.
It has beten suggested here that
the teachers present a comprehen
sive plan to the legislature, where
by the state gives a part and local
districts a big part of the salary in
crease.

Thousands Have Discovered
. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets :
J are a Harmless Substitute
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets—the sub
•titute for calomel—are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re
sult of Dr. Edwarde's determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to banish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
The pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take
hold of the troubleand quickly correct it.
Why cure the liver at the expense of the
teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc
with the gums. So do strong liquids. It
is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr.
Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place.
Moet headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipatibn and '
a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy"and
"heavy." Note how they "clear"clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spirits. |

Enormous Total
The board was asked to recom
mend a total of $24,538,238.21, an
unprecedented figure, and explained
by some of the officers of Institutions
at hearings by the advance in the
cost of food, service and other Iteniß
of maintenance. When to this Is
added the $5,500,000 which It Is es
timated that the Indigent Insane, the
wards of the commonwealth, will re
quire for their care, the aggregate of
the requests Is what the whole in
come of the commonwealth was In a
single year within less than a decade.
The board reduced the requests al
most $8,000,000, the aggregate of the
recommendations, exclusive of the
five and a half millions for the In
digent Insane, amounting to $16,659,-
856.28. The aggregate voted to the
Institutions under the board's super
vision two years ago was $14,974,-
472.16, a high-water mark by ap
proximately $2,700,000.
The statement by classes shows
the following requests and recom
mendations without the indigent in
sane allowance which Is apportioned
among institutions on a basis of $2
per capita per week, which is consid
ered" 50 cents too small, by the way:
State Institutions
Granted in 1917: Maintenance, $4,-
047,693.29; buildings. $2,916,753.00.
Asked, maintenance. $5,254,009.76;
buildings. $3,715,889.76; recommend
ed, maintenance, $4,773,156.63;
buildings, $1,995,944.45.
Seani-statc
Granted in 1917: MaJntenance, sl,-
447,769,87; buildings, *148,428. Ask
ed, maintenance, $2,094,459.49;
buildings, $81,214. Recommended,
maintenance, $1,755,400.00; build
ings, $50,000.00.
Hospitals
Granted In 1917: Maintenance, $5,-
247,500.00. Asked. $8,654,056; build
ings. $2,429,800.00. Recommended,
maintenance, $6,539,466.
Sanitoria
Granted in 1917: Maintenance.
272,000.00- Asked, maintenance,
$262,000.00; buildings. $10,000.00.
Recommended, $155,200.00.
Homes. Ets.
Granted in 1917: Maintenance.
$894,520. Asked, $1,823,809.20;
buildings, $203,000.00. Recommend
ed. maintenance, $1,360,689.20.
It will be seen that the policy of
the state has been to restrict new
buildings to Institutions almost en
tirely under state control, although
millions have been asked for build
ings. The care of the indigent in
sane is growing to be a great prob
lem, and the report urgently recom
mends additional buildings and the
construction of the proposed two
hospitals for which the board select
ed sites under 1917 legislation. The
indigent insane increase with popu
lation. Ten years ago $3,443,000 was
voted for care of these wards. Now
it is asked $5,500,000.
What Agents Found
The report of the board makes
some studies of dependents showing
approximately 20,000 persons in in
sane hospitals, state or county; 18.-
787 in homes for children or aged;
17,460 in almshouses and 11,422 in
private hospitals, with almost 16,000
others in various places.
During the year 725,213 dispen
sary patients were treated free in
hospitals of the state. The free hos
pital treatment aggregated 1,487,595
days, and there were. 5,566,429 days
of free care in homes aided or sup
ported by the state. None of the
figures of the board Includes the state
tuberculosis sanitoria or dispen
saries which are under the State De
partment of Health and administer
ed wholly by the commonwealth.
For Farm Colony
The board says a farm colony at
Huntingdon in connection with the
reformatory would be " a valuable
adjunct," and speaks of progress on
Laurfelton, Muncy and other new in
stitutions and the plans for the in
ebriates institution. Farm work by
prisoners is declared to have been
"a decided success," but the prac
ticability of the act of 1917 for six
state farms or workhouses is con
sidered "doubtful."
, Duplication of inspection and in
vestigation by the state is called un
. necessary and urged to be stopped.
1 The question of what aid should.
be given to the increasing number
1 of charitable institutions organized
t by individuals or associations is left
s to the discretion of the legislature,
and it is emphasized that recommen
-3 | dations are "made to cover needs."
| Practically every hospital Is given
| a separate statement. Figures are
i given to show what Is actually re
j quired, and'there is also appended a
statement showing how many people
I were cared for during the influenza
i epidemic and the cost of that serv
j ice. This is a recognition of the
' work done in the outbreak and some
I institutions show hundreds give care
| with heavy costs.
Cost Per Day
[ The interesting innovation is the
j statement of cost per day; the per
i centage of free treatment and the
j cost of free days. It shows just what
t free service the hospitals rendered.
Some ran up around GO per cent.,.,
one going to 88, while quite a few
' were below 23. The cost of free
. treatment in some Institutions is im
pressive.
Danville State Insane Hospital
asks nothing for buildings or im
, i provements, the first time such a
, condition has prevailed regarding a
, state institution in years. The Fred
. I erlck Douglass hospital of Phlladel
. j phla, is refused any recommenda
. I tlon. It has had trouble over ad
. j ministration. The Gity Hospital, of
r Dußols, a new institution, is not
. recommended as there is no report
. on which to base an estimate. New
[ Castle Hospital, which is building, is
. recommended for )40,006 mainte
nance If it occupies the new plant.
Williams Valley at Wllliamstown, an
other new establishment, is ' not
I recommended as no report is at hand
on which to make figures However,
It will likely be recognized because
fof fine work done during the epi
demic.
The Home for the Aged as Grcens
| burg, Associated Charities and Hu
mane Society of Lackawanna Coun
ty, Scranton: Salvation Army Fresh
Air Camp at East Bellevue, and
Western Pennsylvania Humane So
ciety, Pittsburgh, are not given any
recommendations. In the Greens
burg case the receipts are stated to
be above expenses and the same is
true of East Bellevue, while the Hu
mane societies are held not to show
very definitely certain matters as to
work.
Mercy Hospital, Philadelphia, is
recommended for 820,000 as long as
it occupies its old building and for
$50,000 If it moves Into the new. The
board states that "were-it not for
, the policy adopted by this board
some years ago in declining recom
mendations for buildings for insti
tutions other than state, we would
be strongly inclined to recommend
an appropriation."
In regard to the homes the recom-
I mendatjon was made on the basis of
j free service given.

EXTRA JUDGE BILL
CAUSES INQUIRY
Members Want to Get Some
Information as to Need in
Coming "Dry" Time
A question which may affect the
various bills reported as being
drawn for extra judges in Pennsyl
vania, especially in view of the fact
that a "dry" time is coming with
consequent reduction of criminal
court business, has arisen over the
Dithricli bill to provide two addi
tional Judges in Allegheny county.
There wore suggestions heard to
day that the bill should be held un
til an inquiry can be made in the
county affected.
ReDresentatlves who voted for
prohibition are raising the question
that the abolition of liquor will so
reduc-e the work of the criminal
branch of the courts that additional
judges will be unnecessary. The
only claim put forward for the Dlth
rich bill is that the quarter sessions
courts of the county are now so
clogged that it has been necessary
to have two outside judges sitting
in Pittsburgh most of the time dur
ing 1918. It is argued that when
the 1911 law was placed on the
statute books it promised that it
would prevent all future increases
in the judiciary, the 102 common
pleas judges being sufficient to han
dle the business of the state. I-eg
islators who helped to put this act
on the books are inclined to fight
any departure from the policy then
established.
There _ has been nothing heard
publicly from the bench and bar of
Allegheny county as to. necessity.
Stories filter in from Pittsburgh
that the present judges and leaders
of Allegheny county are opposed to
any additional judges being created,
it being reported that in 1918 the
state paid JIO',OOO for relieving the
Allegheny criminal courts through
the agency of visiting judges. It is
pointed out that the new judges in
salary alone would cost the state
$22,000 a year. Another story is
that the records of the Prothono
tary's office of Allegheny county
will show that the common pleas
judges do not have more business
than they can handle. It is said
that they are within a year of keep
ing up with the business, which is
considered satisfactory.
legislators are also hearing that
if the Dithric-h bill passes the House
it is to be so amended in the Senate
as to include the repeal of the act
of 1911 creating the county court of
Allegheny as a reason for adding to
the common pleas bench. This min
or court is credited with relieving
the common pleas courts of 2,000
cases a year, it being possible to
finally dispose of a case in this court
in twelve days. It is the body that
handles all the juvenile and deser
tion and nonsupport cases.
All of these stories are having the
effect of making uncertain the
passage of the Ditlirich bill. The
suggestion is made that action be
postponed until an investigation is
made in Allegheny county of the
real necessity for the additional
judges.

Makes Speech at Pittsburgh
Which Takes Wilson
to Task
Tho declaration that the Wilson
government at Washington
not have been able to do all the fine
things accomplished during the war
if It had not been for the generous
support of the Republicans in the
House and Senate, was the theme
of the speech of Govenor Sproul at
the luncheon given in his honor by
the Americus Republican Club at
Pittsburgh on Saturday. He spoke
later at the annual banquet of the
Chamber of Commerce, together
with Carter Gluss, Secretary of the
Treasury, and Congressman Fess, of
Ohio.
The Governor was introduced by
Mayor liabcock, who highly com
plimented the Republicans of Penn

C. Sproul as Governor, predicting
that in the great reconstruction
period opening up Pennsylvania
would take a foremost part, because
of its great industrial centers, and
that as a leader In this grout work
the best man in all the State was at
the head of the government.
Governor Sproul said: "The one
big thing we want to accomplish is
to get back into the hands of the
people those principles that huve
been taken away from us by the
authorities at Washington, and it is
up to the Republicans of Pennsyl
vania and other States to bring this
about. 1 am proud to say that the
Republican members of the House
and Senate at Washington made it
possible for the authorities there to
accomplish the big things of the
war, for they stood behind them

than their own party, but the time

party to reassert itself and be the

cation of the Prohibition amend
ment to the Federal Constitution is
generally accepted as well defined.
It shows that probably 31 votes can
be counted as certain for it In
some quarters there is a disposition
to place tho names of Senators W.
E. Crow, Unlontown; Horace A.
Tompkins, Ebensburg, and Horace
Li. Haldeman, Marietta, on the doubt
ful list, while the "dry" forces feel
confident of their support.
"The following 28 senators are
credited with having decided to sup
port ratification: Edwin H. Vare,
ticians and businessmen of Pitts
burgh and Pennsylvania generally
are made up I am wonderfully en
couraged with tho thought that in
our great State is going to be the
beginning of regaining our own in
the affairs of the United States gov
ernment.
"The Federal government has in
vaded the rights of the States and
taken away those things that have
not been given away by them, and
the Republican party will see that
they are returned. It is the hope
of the labor party, the hope of the
employer and the bulwark of the
man who has his capital invested in
the industries of the nation. I was
never more in earnest ns a Rcpubll-
I can to work for these things, and
as Governor I intend to do all in

INSURANCE CODE
FOR THIS STATE
Commission Will Ask Legist
lature to Be Continued
For Two Years 4
Legislation is being prepared
whereby the State Commission
named in 191.7 to revlss ths insur
ance laws of Pennsylvania, will sale
the present session of the general
assembly to continue It until 1921)
in order that it may make a com
plete code of insurance laws. The
commission did not get startody until
late and thus far has prepared but
two bills.
Members of tho commission are
said to hold that the subject is one
which should have a couple of
years of expert study and that tha
present time is hardly one to maka
radical chnnges. It will be sug
gested that the commission should
have two full years in which to con
sider the situation and consult with,
experts. An appropriation to con
tinue the present staff and to pro
vide for such assistance as may b
needed will be asked. The mem
bership of the commission consists
of men appointed by the Governor
and the presiding ofllcers'of the two
houses of the Legislature.
The bills outlined deal with re
serves, especially for liability, and
fraternal and other beneficial con
cerns with insurance features. The
latter bill is much like that pre
sented two years ago, but Is said
to have more supervisory powers.
A beneficial insurance regulator is
already in the Legislature.
