Republicans Will Pass Reform (Legislation at Harrisburg. GOVERNOR STONE LEADS. Hla Recommendation*. Especially Those For Ballot Reform and the rraaervatlon of the Foreata. Meet With Popular Favor. (Special Correspondence.) flarrlsburg, Jan. 15. —Now that the legislature has gotten down to business the party leaders are shaping their plans for the fulfillment of the pledges ■nad* by the Republican party in the last campaign. There is every reason to believe the people will be entirely satisfied with their work. The cause of ballot re form will be among the first matters considered, and the stalwart Republi cans Intend to take advanced ground on this issue. Legislation will be pass ed which it is believed will meet every requirement of the situation and that the most radical reformers will be en tirely satisfied with the outcome. The contentions over the election of United States senators prompted Gov ernor Stone to advocate the proposi tion for the election of United States senators by popular vote. This plan was advocated by the last Republican state convention, and to a certain ex tent has already been put into oper ation by friends of Col. Quay, who have for years advocated the popular vote system at Republican primary elections for instructions to candidates for the legislature on the United States senutorship. TO IMPROVE THE FORESTS. This legislature will undoubtedly adopt Governor Stone's suggestion for legislation calculated to extend and preserve the forests of Pennsylvania. The governor, in his annual message, told of the recent purchases by the state of forests lands and on this sub ject said: "If these titles prove satisfactory, will increase the acreage owned by the state to something over 113,000 acres. The cost to the state of the 97.962 acres and 20 perches already acquired is at an average of about $1.35 per acre. Some of this land has increased in value since Its purchase by the state and could now be sold at an advance. "The purpose in acquiring these lands is to preserve and increase our forests. Forests exert a great influence on the streams and climate and tend to preserve the health of the community. Their rehabilitation in Pennsylvania, if only to part of their former extent, will he productive of the greatest good. It is the purpose of the present adminis i ration to purchase more lands in var ious sections of the state under the several acts of assembly wherever they can be purchased cheaply. The in vestment is a good one, and should the state acquire a large acreage of wild lands. It cannot under any circum stances be a mistake. WILL INCREASE IN VALUE. "The land will Increase in value through the rapid growth of timber and, while there will be destruction In part by fire, yet the average value will largely Increase. These public lands will become the peop'e's parks, open to them at all times for hunting, fish ing and camping, and the people In turn will become the guardians and protectors of the forests. Already they are quite popular in the vicinities where purchases have been made. "There should be additional legisla tion relating to the forest reservations. As the purchase of large tracts in any one county withdraws those lands from taxation, It Is thought that separate tracts scattered about over the state In various places would be productive of better results. Too large bodies of land should not be purchased In one county to the exclusion of others. If the pur chases were distributed more evenly over those counties where forest lands still exist, the reduction of local taxa tion by such purchases would be trivial. "In a few years the state will receive a large revenue from the sale of ma tured timber and timber that has been destroyed by insects, fire and wind storm. So far the deeds have been made to the commonwealth of Penn sylvania, but in cue it became desir able to sell timber that had been de stroyed bjr lire or wind storm the power, under the present laws. Is de ficient. There are practically three separate bodies or departments that hsvs supervision over these forest lands—the agricultural department, the hoard of property and the forestry commission. All these bodies give oc casion for conflict, although fortunate l> none has yet occurred." The governor recommended that an act be passed which would place the purchase and (he supervision of these lands under one management. SENATOR WASHUURN. An Interesting character In the com ing struggle for reform legislation will be Henstor O. R. Washburn, of Craw ford county, who recently announced that he had joined the Republican party, la his speech In the Republican caucus Senator Washburn, auiwus ukhef ttlus. said ' "I believe that under the leadership of men who are here represented we are going to have more equitable labor laws, laws that will Insure justice be tween man and man. I believe that we are going to have state appropriations for good roads, so that the farmers may be benefited. I believe that we are going to have an honest enforcement of the laws relating to the agricultural interests; that, with the two city rings kicked out and driven back to private life, and with renewed life in the Re publican party, we are going to have real reform. These are among the -easons why I am a Republican. "I ask no sympathy from any one on count of newspaper criticisms of my action. Appealing to time an£ to the people to justify the wlsdon. my course, I take pride In the I ellef that I have helped to break this deadlock, and whether this contest snail be set tled by one ballot or many, I shall, for the sake of the good name of the com monwealth, for the sake of real reform and because it will be yielding to the will of the majority, support tnat man whom the people have chosen, even against my own efforts —that man who Is to settle these things and settle them right, Matthew Stanley Quay."
