rnairman insisted ttiat each institu- i
tion asking for state aid should submit !
a certified statement of the number of :
free patients provided for and treated |
during the preceding three years, it i
being his beli«f that the money so ap- 1
propriated should be used for there- |
lief of the sufferings of the state's !
poor. This was so obviously fair and j
equitable that the auditor genoTal has '
adopted it for the future guidance of j
his department.
Backed Even By Democrats.
One of the most important duties
devolving upon the chairman of the
house appropriations committee Is the
preparation of the general appropria
tion bill, which is the"budget" for
running the state government for the
ensuing two years. When the bill left
Chairman Hummer's hands it carried
appropriations amounting to $16,500,-
000. It passed the house by a unani
mous vote, not only all of the Republi
can members voting for it. but Mr.
Creasy, the Democratic leader, and all
of his party associates giving it the
compliment of their support.
The bill was transmitted to the sen
ate, and was amended there, and upon
Hs return to the house for concurience
it was passed finally without a ctwfer
ence.
In this connection Speaker Walton i
declared it was the first time within |
his knowledge—certainly the first time
for many years—that such a splendid j
compliment had been paid by the !
house to the ability and impartiality
of the chairman of the appropriations
committee.
Free Liquor Barred.
Tn nothing was the courage and
common sense of Chairman Plnmmer
more conspicuously illustrated than in
his fearless action in barring all
liquors from the committee rooms and
J/om the cars on which the committee
made its trips to various institutions
coming under its supervision, and
seeking the financial assistance of the
state. With the private rights or habits
of the committeemen there was no
thought of interference, but the state
purchased no liquor for the appropria
tions committee last session.
Something tangible was likewise
done for the insane.
In connection with Speaker Walton.
Mr. Plummer conceived the idea of
making appropriations for certain in
sane hospitals for the purpose of re
lieving the overcrowded condition of
the patients confined therein. Every
one of the state Institutions of this
character was visited, the situation
taken in and spocial appropriations
made for Harrisburg, Danville, and
Norristown Harrisburg was given
$35,000 for the temporary ward build
ings: Danville ,$55.000 for five tempo
rary ward buildings, and Norristown,
$70,000 for four temporary ward build
ings. These temporary buildings are
to be of the most comfortable condi
tion that it is possible to make them.
They will be one story In height, wide
and roomy, with a window at every
cot, with amusement room connected,
and with the latest modern sanitary
arrangements.
Cared For Insane Poor.
The appropriations for temporary
buildings are in addition to the appro
priations made to the insane hospitals
for permanent improvements looking
to the more comfortable treatment of
the inmates. For instance, the oom
mittee discovered that at Danville In
sane Hospital the patients were sleep- !
ing on old wooden beds that had been j
In use f®r years. This hospital was \
Kiven SIO,OOO for thp purpose of re
placing these old wooden beds with
new iron beds, with springs and mat
tresses.
The Insane hospital at Warren was
given the sum of S6OOO for the same
purpose. All the other Insane hospi
tals are furnished with the iron beds,
etc.
In addition to the foregoing appro
priations to the existing insane hospi- 1
tals there was an appropriation of
$150,000 for a new hospital for the
criminal insane; SBOO,OOO for the in
stitution for epileptics located at Spring
City, and $900,000 for the new insane
hospital at Allentown.
In all this new benevolent work the
chairman of the committee was the
central figure. He believed and de
clared that the helpless wards of the
state are entitled to proper care and
humane treatment, and he supported
his belief by vigorous ax:tion.
Looked After Conaumptives.
During the last session of the legis
lature Mr. Plummer prepared and In
troduced two bills appropriating $400,-
(JOu for the establishment of two state
camps for the benefit of consumptives
He bad studied the Droblem of tbe
great white plague for years, and was
convinced that the out-door life would
save the lives of hundreds of the citi
zens of the commonwealth if suitable
camps were provided for their treat
ment.
The rich may provide the comforts
and environment needed to check the
disease In its incipiency. but those in
moderate circumstances, and the poor,
are at its mercy unless the state comes
to their rescue. The bills were passed
by the legislature, but were vetoed by
the governor for reasons which com
mended themselves to bis judgment,
and the consumptive wbo Is without
personal means must wait awhile.
But Mr. Plnmmer is not discouraged.
He Is persuaded that the fight against,
consumption shuuJd be talcen up by the
state as a state institution, and that
the proposed camps are needed, not
only for the rescue of many already
within the clutches raf the dread dis
ease. but also for the protection of the
general public. And he means to push
the fight and enlist the sympathy and
support of others until the battle has
been won.
An Exemplary Citizen.
In his private life Mr. Plummet* is an
exemplary citizen; gentle and kindly
in manner, and modest in his deport
ment. In his young manhood he be
came an active member of the Meth
odist Episcopal church. He is at pres
ent secretary and treasurer of the board
of trustees of the Hollidaysburg church
of that denomination, and has been for
the last 10 years.
On April 18, 1882, Mr. Plunimer mar
ried Mary A. Silknitter. daughter of
Wesley Silknitt.er, a farmer, of Hunt
ingdon county. Their home life is
ideal. They have been blessed with
two children, a son and a daughter.
The latter has just graduated from the
Hollidaysburg high school, and the
former a bright, active bo-y. is in his
junior year in the same school.
Resolute in character, fixed in prin
ciple, a Republican from conviction, a
nitizen withnut guile and without re
proach, the Republican nominee for
state treasurer is rane of the state's
most useful sens. He well deserves
the honor conferred upon him by the
Republican state convention, and will
make a careful and vigilant guardian
af the state's funds.
