Thursday, Feb. 28, 189."). Letter trom Harrisburg. IlAiinisucno, Pa., Feb. '27, lMi. Editor Tost: Tho legislative mill stopped short last Friday until tho 25th. This is customary, I believe in order to give tho members an opportunity to go home to attend the Spring election. ( )f course it is not necessary to have all week to vote but tho fellows who have some distanco to go and come carried tho day for a rocess of one week. In the meantime the com mittee on appropriation which was divided into eight sub-committees can scale down the sums asked from tho coffers of the State. Already $31,000,000 have boon ask ed for and the revenue is only about 19,000,000. Snyder county is very modost in her demands. She asks for but a few paltry dollars in the way of gratuities for several doserv iug persons who ask just a little as. nistauco to make life more comfort able. It will require the most core ful scrutiny on the part of those who pass on tho requests for money. With the requests far in excess of the re- venuo it would seem necessary that "omo Morrison should be ready with a bill providing for a horizontal re diction. UEVKM'E BILL. Tho llevemie Bill that was pro pared by n committee composed of nu n representing tho various iuter fit o me maio is now Willi the t'ommittce on Ways and Menus. Some f manufactoring establish ments of tho State are nlready mar shaling their forces to defeat the bill as far as their interests are con cerned. Your correspondent sent a number of copies of the bill to dif ferent persons in tho county aud if any one desires to present auy opin ions tho opportunity is afforded which tho following letter explains: lion. C. W. Herman, Dear Sir: Should any interests in your county desire to be heard upon any of tho provisions of the Revenue Rill now before the Committee on Ways and Means, the Chairman of said Committee would bo obliged to you if you would forward to hira tho uariips and addresses of such per sons. Arrangements will be made to hoar kindred interestsat tho same time. Frank M. Rm:n. Chairmam, Committee. Tho Compulsory Education Rill was reaclioil several different times on second reading but was not cnll ed up. Tho question apparently is not quitn in shapo. Whether the Philadelphia majority fight has any thing to do with it or not I do not know, but evidently tho matter is not matt re. Tho bill will not have clear sailing, but it may pass. Any proposition that aims to bring children into the schools and under practical application will be found ineffective and easily evaded must of necessity undergo considerable crossfire before it reaches the hands of the governor. Senator Landis' Rill to extend the minimum school terra was defeated in the Senate lacking three votes of having a constitutional majority. That will, no doubt, stay all efforts of persons who were anxious to in crease the term. The writer is grat- ltied that the matter was settled in the Senate but regrets somewhat that ho had no opportunity to prove his position on this bug bear of a question. Tho Senator from this district voted right on this issue. I uudei stand Marshall's Fipo Line Rill, tho bill consolidating compet ing pipe lines has passed the House and to the writer it appears as though tho Standard Oil Company had scored another victory. Just what people moan by enlarging the privileges of such gigantic corpora tions is more than your correspon dent can understand. Competition in tho production of oil must bo as desirablo a condition as in the pro. duct ion and transportation of any other commodity. Under the pro visions of tho bill competition is not natural nnd ono mighty audacious power may control the oil interests of this Commonwealth aud then what ? Why, tho people pay for it, of course. The Houso Committee on Educa tion reported a bill providing for a change in the distribution of the State appropriation to schools which will be, if it passes, -inore equitable than the present phn. The bill pro vlioK Ih'aV "one" Hard ol the appro priation shall be given pro rata to the schools and the remaining two thirds on the basis of taxables. Sny der county would be the gainer, un der tho proposed plan, by several thousand dollars. The bill should pass but it will receive the united and determined opposition of all tho city chaps. Tho Senate passed tho "Bird Rook Rill" with some amendments in which tho House concurred. If the Governor takes a different view of tho measure than Puttiou thero will be an enlarged edition of Dr. Warren's Rook, but uot before the wreu and blue-bird will contend for the pos session of the house. Abolition of tho December Reg ister of Voters. The trial to abolish theJDeeeuiber regristry passed sec ond reading after encountering not a little opposition from the city fel lows. The country chaps were unit ed in doing away with this unneces sary expenditure of money because there is no reason whatever for this expense even if some of the city folks will have to forego the pleasures of the seashore for a time. This bill will save the county between two and three hundred dollars every year. There are several others fea tures in the Raker ballot law that need to be changed. A Senate Road Rill was just re ported tolthe House. It gives the county commissioners discretionary power to open, locate, construct, ex tend, repair, and maintain public roads in the townships of the sev eral counties and to provide for the expenses thereof. The bill is not compulsory which feature is not ob joctiouablo but there are other provisions that are not desirable. Seuator Wood's Bridge Rill is now iu the House. If it becomes a law tho State will in the future con struct bridges over the public streams. Representatives Hunter and Por ter of, Westmoreland county who wero aluioHt asphyxiated in their rooms at tho Hershey Houso are back in their seats. Everybody is glad that they are restored to their usual vigor. They are good fellows. Philadelphia may have au election investigation after the recess. A couimitteo will be appointed to look into tho municipal affairs in the great city whore brotherly love is not bubbling over just now. Dave Martin and Seuator Porter, I suppose will be prepared to ex plain all irregularities away. Sen ator Kennedy of Allegheny couuty will be the chairman of the investi gation committee. Tho petitions praying for tho pn:. sago of a compulsory school law. and for the election of eel baskets were duly presented to tho ppeaker. Tho fish commissioners nro nl ready openiug their guns against tho construction of such baskets. Tho Phil.i. LfiihKr last week printed a whole column denouncing such legislation. We propose lo get the bill passed notwithstanding. C. W. H. KREAMER. C. A.
