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."
