WINEMILLER, w.tli Faclclcr Furniture and Carpet House WEDNESDAY EVENING, Newspaper Comment on Constitutional Commission Newspapers of the State are commenting widely and freely on the new Constitutional Revision Commission. Some of the extracts are: Philadelphia Press Governor Sproul's Constitutional Commission is broadly representative. It has in its makeup members who are highly capable and well equipped for the work of revising our present Constitution and writing a new one that will be a great improvement upon it and will satisfy the public demand for a new Constitution. While the task of the commission is to investigate and report on the de sirability of a new Constitution there is nothing to prevent its going to the root of the matter and reporting a draft of a new Constitution for a convention to consider and accept, amend, or reconstruct, as its judg ment dictates. Such a preparatory draft supported by a report giving well-considered reasons for the changes proposed would very greatly facilitate the work of a Constitu tional Convention. Some of the members of the commission that make the draft, would doubtless be members of the convention and prepared to expound and defend their work. Large bodies are good for deliberation and discussion, but it is small bodies in committees that do tile real constructive work in every deliberative assembly, and here would be nothing unusual or irregular in having the work of the Constitutional Convention formu lated in advance for its approval, modification or rejection. Philadelphia Inquirer—Governor Sproul has shown breadth of spirit in selecting the members of the commission to recommend changes in the Constitution of the State of Pennsylvania. Taken in its entirety it is an able body, without too much intellectual aloftness and yet com petent in the highest sense to do its very important work. Naturally political lines have not been drawn, and it is interesting to note that the two Fennsylvanians who happen to be members of the Cabinet of President Wilson have been called upon to assist in the revision of the fundamental laws of the Common wealth. Beside the Attorney Gen eral of the United States we have the Attorney General of the State, a former Attorney General, the City Solicitor of Philadelphia and other eminent lawyers. The Governor has not made this cntirelv a lawyers' commission, but has includ ed educators, the State Banking Commissioner, a business man and banker, journalists, farmers and two notable women. Thus it should ,be possible to frame a document j from other than purely a lawyer's I standpoint. Most of the members | of the commission are practical per , sons who have had experience in I various walks of life and they I I should be able to produce an instru-; 1 ment that will meet the demands of j I the time and of the future. There ! I has been some opposition to the re- I I vision of the Constitution in this j State on the ground that conditions I were too unsettled to permit of a j J calm and unbiased consideration of j i the document. Fear of radicalism | has prompted conservatives to urge I a postponement, but it must be re j membered that this commission I merely recommends changes. They must be approved by the Legislature land that cannot be before 1921, and jit will be 1923 before they are voted j upon by the people. It will be seen, i therefore, that there will be ample i time for a full and comprehensive | discussion of the subject. The mem i bers of the commission are charged !to study the Constitution "in the | light of modern thought and condi j tions." There is every reason to feel that they will do their work j well, but in any-event the people | will have the last word on the sub- | I ject. I'liihuielpliia Record—The com- \ j mission appointed by Governor j | Sprout to frame recommendations j ■ for changes will obviate the neces- j I sity for another convention if its ['suggestions find favor with the I ! legislature, and subsequently with [ j the voters. The personnel is gen- j I erally strong, with a tendency to conservatism. As that is eminently I • the temper of Pennsylvania, which dislikes radical innovations of any | kind, no fault can he found on that I | account, it may be forecast that' the commission, while urging im portant changes in the Constitution, will avoid those extremes to which i many Western states have gone and which do not find favor in the East, j As all recommendations must be submitted to a vote of the electors the latter can pick and choose, ac- ; cording to their fancy, without ap proving or rejecting the work as a whole. This seems a better plan in some respects than that followed in New York, where, after a constitu tional convention dominated by Elihu Root had presented an entire ly new document, at an estimated 1 cost to the taxpayers of $1,000,000, the voters rejected the new Consti tution overwhelmingly. The com mission has over a year in which to complete its work and in that time ought to be able to agree upon changes which will meet with popu lar approval. Philadelphia Public Ledger—Gov ernor Sproul, by his appointment of the commission provided for by the Legislature, has at last set in mo tion the machinery for the long needed exhaustive examination of f the State Constitution with a view to its future amendment or revision. Under the terms of the enabling act this commission is free to recom mend either a piecemeal revision of the State's fundamental law or the submission of an entirely new document. It is natural that the personnel of the new Commission should be closely scrutinized by those who are hoping that Pennsyl vania will by a revision of its consti- ( tution along enlightened and pro gressive lines put itself abreast of the times in its method of dealing with social and economic problems. Candor compels us to say that the Governor's selections do not hold out great promise of advancement along these lines. He has chosen able lawyers and publicists, most of them of the old school of thought, apparently in the fear that radical opinion might enter into the coun sels of the commission. Fortunately however, the State will not leave the final word on the subject to any ap pointed commission. Its work must of necessity be advisory to the elect ed convention which should be call- . ed to do the actual work of revising the old or of creating the new con stitution which the Commonwealth requires. Such a commission is es sential to prepare the way and ac cumulate the material. But no con stitutional proposals which bear the e rmarks of reaction, or which oirflt provision for municipal home rule, for a revision of our tax laws, for the protection of women and chil dren in industry and for the simpli fication and unification of the ad ministrative structure of the State government can hope to receive serious consideration at the hands of the convention, the summoning of which by the Legislature of 1921, to which this commission must re port, may be taken as a foregone conclusion. Philadelphia Bulletin—The com mission of citizens whom Governor Sproul has chosen to examine into all the questions pertaining to an amending or a revision of the or ganic law of Pennsylvania is not in tended to be a sort of make-shift or stopgap. It has been planned and selected with the purpose of per forming, with as near an approach as possible to thoroughness and completeness, an unusual duty in the spirit of the wisest and highest practical service to the Common wealth. * * * In times like these with their agitations over social, in dustrial and political rights and the manner in which the powers of gov ernment should be fundamentally defined, it is especially in order to crystallize public opinion along the lines which enable long steps in progress to be taken without a sacri fice of stability or an indulgence in the merely experimental fancies of the hour. The Commission is so made up that there may be expected from its members a wide recogni tion of all opinions and demands among the people as to the changes which should be made in the Con stitution or the new things which should go into it. Evening Ledger The "goodly company of trusty and loyal Penn sylvaniar.s" who constitute the commission will enter upon their task with full knowledge of what they are expected to do. Radicalism will have about as much chance with them as the proverbial snowball in the nether regions. And they will doubtless represent the majority sentiment of the State; for Pennsyl vania is known for its conservatism, even though Roosevelt carried it in 1912 against both Taft and Wilson. There is no widespread demand for a radical constitution. The men and women chosen to make the pre- TJAJRHIHBURTx TELEGRM liminary revision arc the represen tatives of those influences which have hitherto prevented any kind of a revision. They will go no further than undoubted public sentiment will force them to go. Pittsburgh Dispatch—lt is general ly conceded that some revision is | needed, changing conditions in the | almost half century making it neces j sary. Prohibitions and limitations I deemed conclusive in 1873 are irk- J some in these altered days. Indeed, jas the Governor said: "While many i of these are wise, a liberal attitude | upon the part of the courts has ) stretched some of the provisions to i the breaking point, and there is great confusion as to their interpretation." The danger has been in constitutional conventions called to overhaul an en tire constitution that the good may be tampered with while the obsolete is being remedied. That has beerr the experience of other states. It has been deemed the safer plan to pre*, fer piecemeal revision, thereby fo cusing public attention upon one or two things that can be thoroughly debated at a time instead of involv ing the whole document. This is understood to be the function of the committee of 25, to study and sug gest revision needed. Its power will, i of course, be merely to recommend to the Legislature at its next session. After that public opinion can form intelligently on the course to be pur sued, whether to have a convention or to proceed with revision by amendment, as has been done of late years. The report of the committee will furnish a basis for a thorough discussion of the whole subject. Scranton Republican—The Gover nor's appointments to this commis sion will commend themselves to the people of Pennsylvania. They in clude the Attorney General of the Commonwealth, the Attorney Gen eral of the United States, and 2 3 others, among whom are the Secre tary of Labor of the United States, two women, former State officials and judges, leading lawyers, former legislators, city officials, newspaper men and college presidents. Scran ton is honored with a place on the Commission, the selection being Hon. John P. Kelly, former legislator, dis trict attorney and judge, whose standing and equipment as lawyer, legislator and citizen admirably fit him for this very responsible place. The residents of cities will be grati fied to note that the Governor has added experts on municipal law to the members of the Commission. It has been realized for a dozen years or more that one of the most marked deficiencies of the present constitu tion is the limited classification of the cities of the State which have evidently grown far beyond the ex pectations of the men who framed the Constitution of 1573. Altoona Tribune—Governor Sproul made admirable selections for membership on the commission to prepare material for the proposed constitutional convention. The names of the men and women named by the Governor appeared yester day morning. Jt would be "some thing of a task to prepare a similar list that would excel the one selected. Republicans and Demo crats, members of both sexes, rep resenting varied callings in life, and yet all well qualified for the import ant duties before them, these ladies and gentlemen will doubtless pro duce a document which will be modern in every respect and yet free from the erudeness and the follies that have become decidedly prominent in certain circles. It is generally acknowledged that our present constitution, which, good enough for the time in which it was prepared, is now hopelessly anti quated, needs to be superseded by a more modern and comprehensive document. One may confidently look forward to the creation of a constitution that will be a credit to the State. CENTRAL HIGH NOTES A very successful meeting of the! S. P. I. Q., the classical club of Central High School, was held at the home of Miss-Dora Billet, 438 Penn street. Miss Virginia Watts gave an interesting sketch of the life of a Roman boy. There were piano solos by Miss Helen Balm and Miss Margaret Martz and delightful as well as instructive lantern slides of Rome and Greece. Miss Nellie Aid did a Grecian dance in costume. The meeting closed with the entire club singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee" in Latin. The society comprises: The Misses M. Katharine McXiff, censor; Helen Bahn, Margaret Cun kle, Edies Garland, Sylvia Gingrich, Margaret Goodman, Elizabeth Har.d schu, Sarah Manahan, Martz, An nette Mercurio, Naomi Michael Mary Rodney, Winifred Tripner Marion Davis, Eva Irving, Jane Pat terson, Edies Aitkens, Nellie Aid, Dora Billet, Frances Burkholder! Bessie Delle Claster, Florence Frank' Emily Sites, Elizabeth Herr, Vir ginia Watts, Harold Fox, Vincent Stanford, Gordon Hinkle, Kenneth Kurtz. An assembly of the school was held recently when it was announced that there would be only three issues of the Argus this year in addition 10 the Commencement Number. Here tofore four numbers were issued dur ing the year with a Commencemert Argus in June, dealing mostly with the Senior Class. It is the plan of the staff this year, by cutting the number of issues from four to three to make each one more complete. The same amount of material' will be put into three numbers that for merly went Into four. The price of the paper will also be changed. The former price was seventy-five cents for the four Issues during the winter and a dollar f(tr the Commencement Argus. The new price is sl. includ ing the commencement number. The S. S. S. Society met recently at the homo of Miss Ruth Rarr 2<H North Front street. Plans for an S. S. S. reunion dance were started. After the business meeting refresh ments were served to the members, who include the Misses Elizabeth Frantz, Helon Dieffenbaeh, Marion Hartwick. Hazel Helem, Harriet Bas tian, Esther Wheeler, Mary Blair Beatrice Blair, Helen Hawthorne, Mary Rhoads, Georgetta Rupp. Cora Gilbert; Helen Robinson, Elizabeth Handschu and Ruth Barr. Industrial Map of City Prepared by Chamber of Commerce A map of the city 11x17 feet, showing all available industrial sites, has been prepared for the Chamber of Commerce by E. Clark Cowden, City Planning Commission En gineer, a member of the Chamber's Industrial committee.

MILLIONS FOR STATE SCHOOLS Payments Have Gone Beyond the $2,000,000 Mark and More Are to Be Made Soon a quarter millions State Treasury to st!iteastl,e pay ~ "on more will be distributed by the I end of the year. I Most of the money has gone to the i smaller districts only a few of the J cities having received much money : and most of them only on account I of the sums allotted to them. ; State Treasurer H. M. Kephart had adopted a plan of paying dis tricts according to the alphabetical standing of the counties and Luzerne will be taken up within a few days. In addition the usual payments at this time of the year have been made to other educational activities. The State fiscal year will close on Saturday and It is likely that the $50,000,000 mark will be reached. The revenue now is fnr ahead of any previous record, but there are heavy appropriations ahead to pay. In accordance with custom most of the departments of the State Capitol closed late to-day for the Thanksgiving holiday and some of them will not re-open until Monday. The fiscal departments, however, will remain open owing to the close of financial year which comes with November and there will be no Saturday holiday in these offices as many thousands of dollars are ex pected to come in. The Public Service Commission has adjourned all hearings until next week. Monday the argument in the Pittsburgh Railways case will come up for hearing. It will be the final stage in that prolonged litigation. The Wilkes-Barre Railway cases are now in the hands of the commission tor decision. The State Compensation Board has ordered a new hearing in the compensation claim of Kerrigan vs. American International Shipbuild ing Corporation, Philadelphia, for purposes of further inquiry. Th£ Board adopted findings of referrees in Donate vs. Empire Engineering Co., Philadelphia: DeCarle vs. Wels bach Street Lighting Co., Philadel phia, and dismissed these cases: Porte vs. Brusco; and Vance vs. Knotts Sons, Philadelphia; Hohl vs. Brooke Iron Co., Birdsboro; Buckin eskey vs. Price-Pancoast Coal Co., Troop and Gibbons vs. Hudson Coal Co., Scranton. The State Department of Agricul ture has issued warnings against wheat pests and estimates that much damage is done by the barberry. It aids the propagation of the wheat rust it is claimed. The Department is also warning against the wheat midge which does much damage. Data gathered by the State De partment of Agriculture is declared to show that the number of dogs killed in the State last year because they were not licensed reached a total of 75,125. There were 362,249 licensed, according to reports from all counties. The department esti mates that the number of silos built in the State this year was over 11,- 000, making a grand total of 43,657 in the State, most of them in the Northern tier. Governor Sproul is to attend the Pennsylvania Society dinner in New York in December. The State Compensation Board will meet in Philadelphia next week. Tlte SUte Highway Department has revoked the 1919 automobile registration of Ix>uis DePerry, 41 Fernando Street, Pittsburgh, who held license No. 352,971. The re vocation came as a' result of a cer tificate from the Public Service Commission setting forth that DePerry operated the motor vehicle registered under license No. 352,971 as a common carrier of passengers, without the approval of the Public Service Commission, as required by law. This was determined by the Commission at a hearing held in Pittsburgh, October 23. The State Highway Commissioner, under the act of July 9, 1919, has power to re voke vehicle licenses in cases of this kind. senator C. .J, Ruckninn, of Bucks LET "DANDERINE" BEAUTIFY HAIR jGirls!
