Letter trom Harrisburg.
Harkihburo, Pa., May 14, 1M'.)5.
K litor l'osr:
Tlioeml of the BfRsioa in fa8t ftp
Ironebiut; wbich fact was evidenced
list week when tbe Committee ou
Ilules reported an order of buuinesu
that diHunHcH with tho reading of
IIouho bills on Kocond reading.
This does not mean, however, that
all bills which have not reached that
advancement will be prevented from
being conmdered.
It would not bo fair to huiii
marily crowd billH from the calendar
or block tho consideration of them
and it was asserted by tho Com
mittee on Hiiles that a second read
viff calendar would bo prepared
whenever important bills were to be
considered. Special calendars will
bo prepared for Itevenue, Appor
tionment, and Appropriation bills.
All bills, making appropriations to
charitable und educational institu
tions not wholly under State con
trol, require a two-thirds vote of all
inemhf -r-elect to pass. A great
many iiieiiil t rs have pet schemes or
int asifics to sponsor, some of which
li-ive gone overboard and as a result
everything is not rosy and peaceful.
A good d"il of log l olling will bo
I'idiilgcd in from this time to tho
e ld and it will be necessary to pro
vide an extra supply of clubs to kill
the snakes that may have the ef
1 rontery to stalk undaunted through
the legislative mill.
'ttr.
i rul years ago a law was passed
ci lni'clliiig school directors to sub
..I'ibe to an cuit li of (dice before en
tering upon their duties. That law
i-i many instances put boards in tho
rural disincis 10 great inconven
ience becauso it was necessary to
iualifr before a nelson dulv au
thoried to administer such oaths.
A bill passed tho House to author
ize directors to (uialify each other
before entering upon the duties of
their otlices. If tlio bill will become
a law it will reinovo such inconven
ience, n very desirablo feature
siueo school boards aro obliged to
do a great deal of work without any
monetary consideration
To prohibit the gtile of intoxicat-
i ntf liquor on Memorial day,
A great deal of bluster baa been
occasioned by tho bill, providing
that the wile, furnishing or gift of
intoxicating liquors bo prevented ou
Memorial day. There are about fio
old soldiers in the House and tho
great majority of them are favorable
to the bill. A few take a decided
stand againt the measure. A num
ber of petitions bave been offered
both for and against the bill
a number of protests coming from
the old soldiers. The bill is on
third reading and it will have rough
sailing, if it will be able at all to
withstand the onslaught of its
enemies, before it will get a place
among the laws enacted during this
session.
The ApptllaU Court JIM.
This bill is still hanging in the
IIouso but Mr. Kunkel, its sponsor,
means to call it up during the week.
There is a great deal of opposition
to tho measure, particularly among
tho members from the country, but,
notwithstanding the friends of the
bill claim that they havo enough
votes pledged to pass tho bill. This
new court may be needed but in the
judgment of the writer the Judi
ciary will cost the State too much
money if all tho schemes offerred
this session will become laws. Tlie
first and most nonsensical is the
pension that tho poor judges that
may retire under the pending act
are to receive.
Tho second increase in cost comes
from the unwarranted increase
of the number of judges as provid
ed in tho pending Judicial appor
tionment bill. t
There is no necessity to provide
puru for t,j,,ilt jMitioiiiil district Judges
ch-rv if several of the proposed districts
bwnnrw ,U1V '",ati of the amount of
exat work that should be imposed upon
iU;i ",! ""U1,
Btra The establishment of this inter
I meditate court woul.l add a cost of
at least !?.".n,M) and more a year an
expense which I think is not at all
commensurate with the reuuiie-
meiits. The revenues of tho state
will not allow any unnecessary ex
penditures and it appears to me
that tho cost it will require to
maintain this court can bo dispens
ed with.
Thr "(iff, iter J'itttsbnnhcru" (le
brutt .
Invitations have been scut to the
members nnd Senators bv tho pro
moters of t lie Greater-Pittsburg to
a banquet at Rubs' this city.
Senators Flinn and Chris. L. Ma
gee and their friends have reason to
rejoice over their achievements and
there can be no doubt that they will
do it right royally to their guests on
that occassion.
The .School. text Hook mu.
What is known as the McQuowu
book bill was finally killed last week.
It was knocked down several times
but by careful grooming it was re
vived as often. The bill was decid
edly objectionablo to many members
who thought it was in favor of one
or at least a few book concerns.
Tho writer received several peti
tions from different parts of the
couuty protesting against the pass
age of the bill which were duly pre
sented nnd filed. What is known as
tho Douthott bill passed the House
but will likely die in tho senate.
That measure proposes to revolu
tionize the text book business in tho
State. It is almost an exact con
of the Ohio law. It provides that
the Governor, State Supt. of schools
and the Sec. of the Commonwealth
shell constitute a commission.
This Commission is to get prices.
samplesetc, from all tho publish
ers whoso books are used in Ihe
schools and there fix a price which
is to bo certain per centum of the
wholesale prices. School boards
aro there to buy at tho prices stipu
lated, etc. There are some good
ieaiures in tne bill but others can t
help but work injury to tho schools.
Distribution of the .School J in,l.
The distribution of tho money ap
propriated to tho Hupport of the
schools is a bono of contention.
Tho Smith bill which was lost
about a week ago was resuscitated
and is again on tho calendar. In
tho moan timo another bill passed
second reading. So that two bills
different in plan but alike in purpose
aro on third reading. The Phila.
delegation, of course, prefer to be
let alono in this respect.
A proposition has boon mado that
all districts should raise at least
halfas much rs they get from the
Stato. While it is true that local
interest must bo maintained if we
aro to get tho bost results from our
schools yet tho writer asserts that
any scheme of that kind discriminates
against the poorer districts exactly
the opposito of what it should bo.
Several years ago when tho revenue
bill was adopted the cry wont up
that enough fuuds would bo forth
coming to pay the entire cost of the
schools. The plan now seems to bo
to coerce districts, a plan that is de
cidedly objectionable.
A bill to allow female school teach
ers the same compensation as male
teachers for tho same grade of work
passed the Houso and U now in tho
Senate.
Note.
Mrs. Herman and children spent
several days very pleasantly here
and in Phi hi.
John Wanarnaker, tho merchant
prince, gave a reception to tho Gover
nor last Friday to which the mem
bers were invited. Many went and
report a very pleasant timo. It may
bo possible that the ex-Postmaster
Gonerol has United States senatori
al aspirations. Well, what if he has ?
The Penrose resolution to inves
tigate the workings of the Bullitt
bill in Phila. is to pass the Senate.
Some of tho politicians don't appear
to favor this Lexowing but if the
garments are all clean it will hurt
no one and if auy ate polluted a
little exposure may do no harm.
Let it come.
Tht ' Hill vrftifin; the office of Dep
uty A utlitor General defeated.
One of the first bills providing an
additional otlire nnd fixing duties
aud salaries, went down ou final
passage with a "thud'' that carries
little encouragement to parties in
terested in similar measures still
pending. The House appears to
realize at last that there aro n
great many more fellows anxious to
servo tho people than the Stato can
afford to pay and very properly the
Houso is unwilling to provide places
that are not absolutely required.
The writer is of the opinion that the
State could dispense with other ap
peudages without suffering much
loss or inconvenience.
lit venue Jlill.
The Kevenue bill which was pre
pared by tho Tax Conference ap
pointed several years ago passed
s(cond reading without amend
ments. Ati unsuccessful effort was
made to reduce tin1 tax on tho
premiums of foreign loan and bnil l
ing nssoci'itions. It is claimed that
this measure will incrcuse the reve
nues and at the same time relieve
local taxation. I should bo glad to
givo n general outline ol tuo lull
since it is important to all taxpayers,
but space forbids it. I may bo per
mitted to speak more fully of the
measure in my next letter.
In behalf of "Old O'lory."
The bill, making it mandatory for
school directors to place a flag upon
school houses, was so amended as
to leavoit discretionary with school
boards. That is right in my judg
ment. This may not be a patriotic
ago but I question whether tho
simple fact of a forced floating of
tho stars and stripes over our school
houses will in itself teach the youth
of our laud tho story of our great
country. The unselfish devotion,
the sacrifice, tho heroism, and un
told suffering of the fathers are a
few of tho lessons that must be
learned before wo can properly ap
preciate the institutions bequeathed
unto us.
To legalize Hehortiinu of Cattle.
A great deal of merriment was oc
casioned by the discussion of the
bill to legalize tho dehorning of cat
tle. Some humorous fellow who
objected to tho further application
of the principlo offered an amend
ment that the provision of the bill
should not apply to hydraulic rams.
Another argued that if the animal
should bo robbed of its beauty and
means of defense just because it
sometimes used its horns for its
own protection that for tho samo
reason tho noblo animal should bo
detailed. The bill lacked a few votes
(Continued on next pay.)
