4 SEDITION BILL FOR TERRORISTS Attorney General William I. Schaffer Says li Don't Curtail Liberty The anti-sediUon btH., which is to he amended so that it will he with out two sections which might be misconstrued, is aimed at terrorists. It curbs no liberty, does not destroy free speech or a free press, nor abridge the right of Just criticism of public officials. This is the opinion of Attorney General William L Schaffer, who drew the bill. Mr. Schaffer in a statement last night analyzed the bill, enlarging some of his argu ments of last Tuesday, and pointing out Just what the measure alms to do. The Attorney General ays. "In some quarters there seems somewhat of a misapprehension as to the sedition bill. It does not affect freedom of speech, liberty of the press or any rights of the peo ple. As I endeavored to make mani fest in my discussion of it before the committee at the recent hearing, it is a measure directed only at crimes against government. Government is not the men who are for the time being in office, it is the institution. The section which has been so njuch discussed, which had the word dis content" ln It, has been stricken out of the bill, and I had agieed that it should be stricken out before the hearing. While I do not think this section was subject to the construc tion that its critics put upon it, nevertheless, it might have been so construed and such a construction would not be within the Intent or the bill as I framed It. "The bill provides against Fm ings, acts and conduct which en to make an outbreak or demonstra ' tion of violence against this btaw ov against tbe United Slates seems to me that men who pro back of, and who cause outbreaks or demonstrations of violence this State or against the United States, ought to be amendable to the law. It provides that writing con duct or acts which encourage any person or persons 'o take measures with a view to overthrowing <r de- Jtroytrg or attempt'.. ? f> ocrihrow or destroy by forrc the P" v ern.non of this State or of the Unite 1 • shall be guilty of a crime I cannot conceive why yersans who are ITu> ty of conduct of this kind should not he called before a Jury of our Cl "U n ?urther provides that persons who incite or encourage others to commit overt acts, with a view- to bringing the government of this State or of the United States hatred or contempt, shall amen able to tbe law. Those Pteach ? or teaching of our Government should, I tliink. not go " n^ of Justice. It makes it a crime to incite anv person to do personal Jury to an official of this State or of {l7 Unfted States, or todamage or destroy public property. T inciters to such punished the same as the.men wn are their tools, and them, it seems to me. It co^rsI the actual damage or destruction of pu lie property, or the property of a, public official because he s official position. .? ÜBh be a crime? It stipulates that writ ings publications and utterances W rfe te .n^Vro^ n -'a la,r°m P ar n t^r° m^Ur.; to'deal With men guilty of conduct of this kind? It provides against Ihe sale of publications which advo cate the overthrow of government, or organizing societies for that pur pose, or the renting of bu ldtngs for ihat purpose. All these things ough. to bo within the scope of the crim inal law, and public officials ought to have the means and measures to reach those who are guilty of these th ' This is all that the bill seeks to accomplish, to reach those seeking to overthrow government by terror and violence. Public officials can be criticised Just as freely as before, tout the man who would overthrow the Government, and who preaches or teaches revolution by crime, force or terror would be the only one within the reach of this enact ment- Do the law-abiding, liberty loving people of this State not agree that such men ought to be treated as dangerous enemies of govern ment? "With such a law on our statute books, the men who would overthrow government in our State by violence, crime and terrorism will find Pennsylvania an unhealthy place to live in. "When they under stand what it means, I believe all law-abiding citizens will favor this bill."

AUTO BILL NOW READY TO PASS Numerous Changes Made to the Dithrich Bill in House General readjustment of the j weight classes for commercial motor | vehicles provision for registration by 1 chassis weight, extension of the ; reciprocity clause to one day a week, and an Increase to forty-flve cents a horsepower for registration of j pleasure vehicles, are among the amendments made to the Dithrich motor vehicle bill In the House. The amendments were made fol lowing a conference between Repre sentative Dithrich, of Allegheny county. Highway Commissioner Sad ler and Assistant Highway Commis sioner Biles with Governor Sproul. The changes in the truck regula tions, it is said, were suggested by the truck associations of the State and agreements were reached dur ing the conference on the other pro visions, which have been changed several times. j The bill in its present form, which j is presented to the Legislature with > the approval of the adminstration, provides for all truck weights to be determined by chassis alone. The classes established and the registrd tion fee Is as follows: Weight, Registra-' Class Pounds tion Fee AA 2,000 to 3,000 * 20.00 A 3,000 to 4,500 25.00 B 4,500 to 6,000 30.00 C 6,000 to 8,000 50.00 D 8,000 to 10,000 75.00 E 10,000 to 12,000 100.00 F over 12,000 150.00 All commercial vehicles weighing less than 2,000 pounds will be regis tered according to horsepower. Weight limits for commercial vehicles to include chassis, body and load, are provided as follows: Class AA, 7,000 pounds; Class A, | 11,000 pounds; Class B, 15,000 1 pounds; Class C, 20,000 pounds; j Class D, 24,000 pounds, and Classes; E and F, 26,000 pounds. The bill now provides for a limita- j tion of 28 feet in length, 90 inches! in width and for 26,000 pounds in weight, which is to include overall j weight, including chassis, body and' load. There is a provision that ex- | empts from the length regulations | all trucks now registered or con-; tracted for prior to the passage of j the bill. The question of granting recipro- \ city to commercial vehicles of other i States brought up much discussion. It was originally planned to give! such vehicles entering Pennsylvania j on the registration of other States, | one round trip a month, without j requiring a Pennsylvania license, j but the conference agreed to extend | this provision to one round trip a | week. It is pointed out that Penn- 11 has had to increase the depth of its road foundations to meet the in creasing heavy truck traffic and that vehicles licensed in other States and nsing highways of this State con stantly should be compelled to bear a share of the cost of upkeep. The fee for registration of pleas- j ure vehicles was Increased from for- | ty to forty-flve cents a horsepower,! the present provisions of classes be- j ing entirely eliminated. The addi tional five cents added by the con-1 ference means almost half a million ! additional revenue for the State. ' The registration after August 1 of ] each year are to cost but half of the regular fee. At present the half] year is divided on July 1, but the bill formerly called for September 1 and ! the August compromise was made. ■ The increasing theft of automo- j biles led to the strengthening of the; provisions for reports of public gar- ! age and repair shop proprietors so | that instead of keeping records on! cars left only for repairs, the bill; provides that records must be kept of the manufacturers' number of all cars left for any purpose. The rate of speed for commercial vehicles was increased in all of classes so that trucks of Classes AA and A are allowed a rate of speed of 20 miles an hour; Class B, 18 miles; Classes C and D, 15 miles: Class E, 12 miles, and Class F, 10 miles. The light regulations have been amended to allow the use of diffus ing devices in addition to deflectors. The bill provides that all commer cial vehicles and trailers with chassis | weighing more than 2,000 pounds; shall have painted in a conspicuous' place the weight limit of chassis,! body and load. The provision for special permis sion to use commercial motor ve-1 hides in excess of the specifications i allowed by the bill, for special haul ing, have been amended by provid- i ing that a fee of Ave dollars accom- 1 pany all applications for this special privilege. The bill provides that in j cases of violation of the certain pro- j visions, a sum equal to double the j amount of the maximum fine that J might be imposed shall be given as a bond for appearance, after waiv ing summary hearing.s Elliott-Fisher Sales Forces Set Out to Make Biggest Sale of History This is Sales Manager's Month In the Elliott-Fisher Sales organization.

Tentative plans for founding such a church were dis cussed. This action of the labor people is an echo of the plan for a co-opera tive church adopted by the co-opera tive farmers' associations. The farm ers have put about everything con nected with a farm on a co-opera tive basis—marketing of products, buying and distribution of supplies, creameries, poultry abbatoirs, lum bering, coal mining, land appraisals, the settling of immigrants on farms, and even coffin making, as a protest against extortionate charges by un dertakers during the epidemic of in fluenza. Their idea of a co-opera tive church is that all creeds and denominations of the Protestant faith unite in one great nonsectarlan brotherhood. The co-operative farmer element and union labor for the last six months have been discussing plans by which they may possibly be unit ed on a political platform. If this political ambition Is achieved, there seems no doubt in anyone's mind that the destinies of Canada will be directed by the farmer and the work ingman. The plans of the farmers for a co-operative church and of tho workingmen for a union labor church is regarded by leaders of both move ments as a step nearer the podbl merger of the two powerful or ganizations.
