Dehvenes MONDAY EVENING, Washington attending the confer ence of the Governors and some of tho administration measures may not be presented this week. The bawson bill providing for the $50,- 000,000 bond issue for roads will be reported to the House to-night and passed finally on Wednesday, being sent to the Senate. There is a disposition to overhaul the printing end of the State gov ernment. Monthly bulletins are coming out late and some of the matter contained therein, notably in the Agricultural list of publications needs editing in the openly ex pressed opinion or some of the legis lators. Secretary of Agriculture Frederick Rasmussen is said to comtemplate some editing on his own hook and to reduce the com mercial advertising output. As a result of the inspection to be made by Mr. McClain at the em ployment agencies throughout the State this week there will be a cleavage of the federal and State ac tivities in that direction. The United States government has as sumed a protectorate over this busi ness and pushed the Stata, which ap propriated considerable money for the project almost oft the sign boards. The system was a fine thing when there were many jobs due to war and not many men, but no conditions are reversed and with congress disinclined to vote much money the state will assert itself pretty vigorously. Rorke Says All Can Get Hearing Representative William R. Rorke of Philadelphia, sponser for the bill to permit Sunday concerts and en tertainments of an educational na ture in a statement issued to-day de clared that the bill was not aimed to destroy any religious ideas and that opportunity for hearings would be given this month. Mr. Rorke said: "There seems to be some misunderstanding as to the purport of this Act. It docs not. nor was it the intention to destroy the Sabbath, nor does it permit a conti nental Sunday or a wide-open day. It does provide that after seven o'clock In the evening orchestral concerts, lectures and other enter tainments of an educational char acter be permitted. I consider It a very wise step In modern legislation at this time of social, economical and political unrest existing. It has met with the approval of a great many citizens of stability and char acter who are God-fearing men and are believers in Sunday Worship. I have also received letters of com mendation for this measure from leaders in professional, artistic and religious life of the community. It is intended for the good of the gen eral masses, and not for the pur pose of destroying religious ideas or customs. We purpose to have every body heard on tlila measure, both those in favor of the measure and its opponents, and for that purpose the committee will meet at the places to be designated in the very near future, in Philadelphia. Mon day, March tenth; in Pittsburgh, Monday, March seventeenth: and in Harrisburg on Wednesday afternqjn, March nineteenth." German Election Shows the People Favor a Republic Geneva. March 2. Professor Herman Fernau, author of the fam ous book declaring Germany re sponsible for the world war. 'Jux Accuse" analyzes the results of the recent election in Germany in tho Journal Dt Geneve as follows: In favor of a republic nearly 19,000,000 votes with 260 deputies, consisting of Majority Socialists, Democrats and Independents. In favor of the old regime nearly 4,000,000 votes with 03 depu ties. consisting of German National and People's parties. The Catholic Centre, the writer says, with nearly 5,600,000 votes and 88 deputies, continues in an equivocal attitude. Professor Fer nau. in conclusion, says that tho allies must make peace with the German people represented by the 19,000,000 voters, and not with the government of Seheidemann (the new German chancellor) and Count Von Brockdorff-Rantzaut (the for eign minister).

Such expert advice would protect the Governor and the State alike in the huge program of road and building construction about to bo undertaken and also provide a means whereby future operations could be studied and plans made for submission to the next Legislature. The idea was broached a short time ago. the lessons learned in years gone by having evidently been considered and is understood to have the approval of the fiscal and other officers of the State who would share in the expert advice with the Governor in meeting the responsibilities incumbent upon them. Legislative policy in recent years has been to increase the duties of the Governor, already entrusted with the duty of directing the busi ness of the State and approving all contracts for supplies and c ° n ? tr "?" tion and equipment of such.build ings as pertain to the State Capitol. The Governor has to approve all bills of the Public Grounds and Buildings. Health, Forestry, Labor and Industry, Agriculture and mili tary departments, .in addition to those for construction of the new western penitentiary, a gigantic task involving millions of dollarsi eierj year. The requirement that he sign contracts for all road and sim > lar construction work of any magni park project will add to this bur den and tax the force at hand for his protection, while everything rel ative to the centralization of the State government in Harrisburg must also go to him for aPP™™ l ; Few State executives or heads of railroads or industrial cor P°. rat l? a f have the detail thrust upon him that is the duty of the Governor of Penn sylvania, who must also plan ahead and formulate the policy of the Commonwealth, which under the Sproul plan will call for .the most extensive constructive enterprises ever known in the State and for important changes in methods and means of the government. The ex pansion due to the needs of the time and the readjustment will add to the responsibilities. In providing for these consultants to give the Governor such advice as he may want and to guide him in meeting his responsibilities not only in checking up for approval, but in interest of good business, the idea in a draft of a bill being made is that he be authorized "to employ such consultants architectural, engineering or otherwise account ants., investigators, inspectors and clerks, as ho may deem necessary and to fix their salaries, wages and fees, to assist him in formulation of plans for construction or improve ment work, proposed or already un dertaken; to keep him informed whether such work is being per formed in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in contracts. "In addition the consult ants could be called in "to assist in formulation of plans and policies for proposed Improvement and construction work of any magni ttude" and for determining upon the best methods for carrying such plans and policies into effect. The State already has a noted architect working on the Capitol park plans in Arnold W. Brunner, who created the Denver and Cleve land civic centers. State Governors and Mayors in Conference Washington, Mar. 3.—State gov ernors and mayors of the larger cities over the country are arriving in "Washington to attend the "White House conference for discussion of business and labor conditions.

Twenty-one .governors have ac cepted invitations to attend the con ference and 24 others are expected to send representatives. One hun dred and eleven mayors have an nounced their intention of attend ing while 43 others will be repre sented by delegates. .— General Good Dies; Heart Disease Fatal Philadelphia, Mar. 3.—Brigadier General J. Lewis Good, formerly one of the best known National Guard officers in Pennsylvania, died sud denly of heart disease early yes terday. He was taken ill at "a ban quet in the Manufacturers' Club and died in a physician's office nearby. General Good "was 61 years old. D HXRIUSBURG TEEEORSPH BOROUGHS MUST HELP THE STATE Sadler Will Ask That Ripping Up Streets Be Pre vented Highway Commissioner Lewis S. Sadler to-day declared that there will be absolutely no deviation from the rule that no permanent paving will be put down in boroughs of Pennsylvania, so far as the State Highway Department is concerned, until every pipe or sewer connec tion is made on the thoroughfare to be improved. This announcement is in line with Governor Sprout's determination that there shall be no waste of state highway funds. "Before we proceed with the con struction of permanent thorough fares through boroughs of Pennsyl vania," said Commissioner Sadler, "wo will have agreements with the borough authorities which will pre vent the ripping of pavements. And we shall insist that these agree ments be lived up to. For not less than five years after completion the pavement may not be disturbed, un less in case of extraordinary emer gency. Wo do not propose to waste money. I can conceive of no reason why the boroughs themselves, the corporations, and private property owners cannot lay their sewers and mains of various sorts in anticipa tion of paving. I know of no rea son why old mains cannot be re newed, if necessary." "In the case of vacant lots, where construction begins after the paving is laid, will the rule regarding sew ers and piping bo enforced'.'" the Highway Commissioner was asked. "Most assuredly," was the reply. "Owners of properties should lay all necessary piping before wo begin paving. They must anticipate con struction." "Many roadways in Pennsylvania which otherwise would have lasted for a great many years have been ruined In a comparatively short time because they were ripped up for the laying of piping. I know of instances .where within a few months after completion of a long stretch of brick paving a public ser vice corporation ripped the street for a distance of half a mile to put down a water main. Tills could have been avoided. It is not possi ble effectively to patch highways of the rigid type after they have once been cut through. In spite of all precautions taken it is never possi ble to get tho same uniformity in the patch as was had in the original job. Lack of uniformity is one of the primary causes of early deteri oration of the paving. No element has as detrimental an effect on bi tuminous paving as water; and It is not possible to keep out water where a patch has been made. The surface must be kept true in order to assure a perfect roadway. In pav ing of other than bituminous kinds there is always a line of cleavage, as a result of which water creeps in and in times of freezing and thaw ing displaces the surface. "For these reasons—because we will save the Commonwealth many hundreds of thousands of dollars, we will not lay a foot of paving in any borough of Pennsylvania until every single water and sewer and gas connection, or underground con nection of any other kind, has been completed. "I mention this matter now be cause the spring of the year is com ing and it will be possible for mu nicipalities, public service corpora tions and individuals to do whatever street ripping is necessary. Once our paving is down it will not be disturbed." The first big advertisement for bids for construction of roads in the "primary" system of highways in Pennsylvania to be constructed un der the $50,000,000 road bond Is sue is just being made and is the first of a series of notable contract lettjngs. The department is also asking for bids for building of a quarter million or more feet under plans prepared last year, but laid aside because of war conditions. The call for bids for the primary system is for close to fifty miles of "primary" highway to he built at State expense. In one case, Philips burg borough, the road will be 24 and 32 feet wide and on "primary" highways 18 feet. In Farmington township. Warren county, which is a joint proposition the road will be 14 feet. This is taken to mean that hereafter roads will be 18 instead of 16 feet, the standard width hereto fore. This is due to the demands of traffic. The specifications call for I heavy construction. There are sev enteen sections of highway to be included in the letting, including I some for brick which will link up existing roads recently improved. Hoover to Direct American Relief Work in Europe W'nslUng ton. Mar. 3. Herbert Hoover has been appointed by presi dent Wilson as director general of the American relief administration, created under the new $100,000,000 European famine relief bill, with full authority to direct the furnishing of foodstuffs and other urgent supplies purchased out of the relief fund and to arrange for their transportation, distribution and administration. Mr. Hoover, who already had been made director general of allied relief under the commission sitting at Paris, also was given full power by the President to determine to which of the populations named in the relief bill the supplies shall be furnished and in what quantities. Ho also is to arrange for reimbursement so far as possible as provided in the relief act. Bulgaria is Facing a Financial Crisis Sofia, Bulgaria, March 3.—Bul garia is facing a financial crisis, it is asserted. The war cost the coun try over $1,500,000,000 while its es timated wealth is only $2,200,000,- 000. The national debt before the war was $160,000,000. Of the national debt as it now stands Bulgaria owes to Germany $660,000,000 which was advanced in instalments of ten millions, but last winter Germany discontinued this practice, and demanded payment for munitions in cash. Germany, evi dently was not in the business of helping its Allies for nothing, as the prices charged Bulgaria for gas masks clearly indicate. For each mask it charged sl6 and a sheep skin, as compared with the cost of a similar article for the United States army in England of $4.50.

The tendency is to concentrate power in the Federal Government and then to concentrate the power in the Federal government and then to concentrate the power of the Federal Government in the Execu tive. Tlie war has given both oc occasion and excuse for the accelera tion of the movement toward cen tralization. Such power is ever Jealous and is always seeking to add to itself. "Already its hand has been stretched out from Washington in the effort to lay hold of things which have heretofore been held sacred to the States. This disposi tion is manifested in the endeavor of the Federal authorities to estab lish the rates and regulate the serv ice for the inta-State business of the railroads and the telegraph and telephone lines, in utter disregard of the rights of either the owners or the State authorities.

"But we have felt the encroach ments of the Federal authorities in ways more dangerous because of the indirect, insidious methods by which they sought to accomplish their de signs. The Controller of tho Cur teney has iremendous powers over the national banks and the Federal Reserve System. He has also been vested with the power of placing the deposits of the vast interests sub ject to Federal control Ido not know that the Controller has exor cised his powers so as to punish his enemies and reward his friends. I do know that it has been known that his dual office affords him the opportunity for such discrimination, and I do know that his reputation is such that if tlie temptation of such a situation were present, he could not be placed In a class with Caesars wife.
