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.
