HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH INDEPENDENTS FOR MA LEAGUE Will Discuss Legislation With All Comers—Headed By Wallace The legislative league, composed I of independent members of the Pennsylvania Mouse of Representa- i ti\*cs and which has representation in the Senate, has been organized, with Representative Robert L. Wal lace, of I.awrence county, as chair man and floor leader for the pur pose of guiding the House on all matters of clean legislation and to uphold the legislative program of Gov. William C. Sproul. Representative Allan D. Miller, of Susquehanna county, has been elect ed secretary and an axecutivo or steering committee chosen to con sist of Representatives C. 11. Ken nedy, Beaver county; K. M. Swettzer, Clarion county; John B. Coldsnuth, Westmoreland county; John W. Vlckerman, Allegheny county; 11. B Showalter, Union county; Itaniel W. Melt, Northumberland county, and Secretary Miller. Chairman Wal lace will be an ex-otflcio member. The purpose of the legislative I.eaguo is to make a thorough study of bills and to decide, after that study, whether the measures are worthy of support. They will give the member proposing bills deemed without merit to withdraw them and in the event that he does not do that the bills will be openly fought on the floor. For the purpose of being effective the league has some alliances in the House which Chair man Wallace claims will be more than enough to defeat a bill and generally strong enough to pass a bill. Any alliances that are made, the league members say, will be merely for the purpose of assisting meritorious legislation and to make possible the successful consumma tion of the governor's program. The i league members declare that they : want to make it impossible in the future to what they call "railroad" a bill before it lias been thoroughly studied and its provisions digested. The league feels that its general strength will be about 7u members who will act in unison. They feel ] they can count on one-third more in the House which would place their strength at 100 votes, quite a tidy amount and much to be desired by any person having a bill on the cal endar. Considering the average at tendance in the House that number of votes would dictate the thought of the House in ninty-nine cases out of one hundred. Caucauses will be held by the league. They claim they will not take an active part on every bill in the House but will pick out the important ones for study and action. Their active members will be stragetically located in the House from the standpoint of get ting into quick contact with other members of the league when Chair man Wallace passes the word on a bill. Frequent meetings of the steer ing committee are contemplated. At that time bills will be distributed for study and reports, according to the position of the proposed legislation on the House calendars, will be made and acted upon. There will be little secretive work in the league. Representative Vickerman says, but it has been formed for action and the House will know its stand with regard to bills. From its political complexion it is independent, though not outright dry. It naturally has a fear of the liquor lobby and for that reason its organization membership is com posed of those who. t happens, for ratification of the national Prohibition amendment and helped pass it in the House last week. Mr. \ lckerman is the most active dr\ member on the steering committee. Ihe league, according to Chairman Wallace, is not an anti-liquor or ganization. He says it is a pro- Sproul and pro-good legislation or ganization. The liquor attitude of a member with legislation in view will not influence the league against or for the legislation. The latter must stand on its own bottom. Chairman Wallace said that threats against the league had bet ter not be uttered, lie said that he ; means that if any member of the House who would have reasons best known to himself to fear the league j attempts to hamper its work that ] retaliatory measures will be taken ■ and he said that went for all com | mittees in the House. He claims j the new league will give a few dem j onstrations of its attitude and has only one hope—that Pennsylvania ; will gain because the league was or ganized. DANDRUFF GOES!
