The Hew Game Law
Governor Hasting signed the now
gamo law drafted by the state sports
nem'a association. It deals with the
protection of song and insectivorous
birds, and provides that persons who
dosiro to collect birds, their nests or
eggs for strictly scientific purposes
snail obtain a certificate from the
board of game commissioners at
cost of $i. The money derived from
these permits, heretofore issued by
prothonotanea at a cost 01 $1 per
year will be devoted to the use of
the game commission. From this
'source a revenue of perhaps from
$2u to 300 annually will be obtain
ed. The law has been so framed that
the game commission cannot give a
permit which will enable any person
to collect game birds or their nests
and eggs out of season.
Tlio bill prohibits the sale of game
of all kinds killed in the state, and
likewise the removal of game from the
state. If men kill gamo illegally thoy
will bo Ht-nt to jail if their fines are
not paid a day for every dollar of
fine imposed. A man now found
with a ferret in his possession while
hunting rabbits will bo liable to a
sevcio lino.
Under l hn new bill woodcock can
bo t'tkeii i:i tlio month of July and
from October 15 to December 15, in
clusive; deer in tlio month of Novem
ber; rabbit from November 1 to D
ccuibrr 15, inclusive. Tlio seasons, so
far us tliey relate to wild ducks, rood
birds, sidpcd, plover, doves and wild
pigeons, aro the samu as under the
old laws. rheasiiDttt, squirrels,
quail and wild turkey can be legally
taken form October 15 to December
15. Mongolian or Kuglish pheasants,
which have, been introduced in a few
of the localities with a view of na
turalization, cannot bo killed for a
period of live years.
A liiuif atation has been placed on
the number of birds, &o., which a
gunner can kill in a day. It is as fol
lows: Woodcock und pheasant, 10;
quail 15; wild turkey, 2. And no
person is allowed to kill more than
two doer in any one season.
Those Legislative Desks-
Thero is considerable loud talk
relative to tho costs of the desks fur
nished for tho use of the Legislature
and it seems slran go that the State
Building Commission should send
all tho way to Jjohtou for them and
thou have them brought to Harris
burg by express. Representative
McClain, of Lancaster, who is a
member of the House Committee on
Public Grounds and Building, 6ays:
"Tho bills are so extravagant
that I am euro they will not bo paid
unless they oro cut down. After the
burning'of the Capitol and before
the church was f uruished our com
mittco was concluded by tho Gov
vernor and others. The Governor
showed us samples of desks, and ho
wanted us to accept high school
desks for tho house, to cost about
S3 a piece. We concluded they were
then too small, and did not accept.
He then showed us a desk like those
wo aro now using, ana no toia us
agreed upon that style of desk, and
it is now difficult to understand
what makes the difference between
$6, the price of the desk accepted,
ani18.60 the price charged for it
What is more, the Commissioners
of Public Grounds and Buildings
have already approved of the bills in
in their entirety, one of whom is the
Auditor Geu. himself. A resolu
tion was offered in the House ou
Friday to the effect that the Auditor
General hating approved of the bills,
and is about to issue his warrant
for the payment of the same with -out
an appropriation having been
made therefor, the State Treasurer
should be instructed to withhold
payment until the money is duly
provided for. The bills are denounc
ed as extravagant and unwarranted.
and some members are clamorous
or an investigation and an itemized
bill It appears to be generally ad
mitted that the Building Commis
sion has been imposed upou and
that some one is profiting by the ex
cessive charges. Notwithstanding
this present violent kicking against
these bills, the likelihood is that
things will quiet down and the bills
go through as everything else does
down there just now.
The Harrisburg Situation.
According to various information
made public respecting the late con
ference between Senator Quay and
certain members of the Legislature,
together with the Auditor General
and State Treasurer, it was substan
tially determined that tho State is
now raising about as much revenue
by taxation as it ought to expect to
get; that it is not a good time to in
crease taxes, and that what seems to
be most nocessary is a readjustment
and reduction of expenditures, says
the Philadelphia Press,
If this really was the conclusion it
is to be commended. The mistake
about it is that it was not agreed to
four or five months ago, and prompt
ly acted upou. It would be an ex
ceedingly dangerous movementsfroui
a'party point of view, for the Legis
lature at this time to enter upon the
policy of a next-to-wkolesale in
crease of taxation. Following upon
a period of depression and business
stagLation it would be looked upon
as almost a crime. The proper course
for the State at such a time is that
which the individual is compelled to
pursue, a reduction of expenditures
to bring them within the revenue,
The practically unanimous popular
indorsement of Governor Hastings
ringing and admirable message of
week ago is a revelation of public
sentiment on this question which
must command not only lespect but
obedience. None can afford to pre
sume upon the great party majori
ties of the past in a year when a
State issue may become so com
manding as to force aside the excep
tional national issues on which re
cent victories hare been won.
It has been estimated by the Auditor-general
and State Treasurer
that the net revenues of the com
monweolth for the fiscal years of 1897
and 1808 will amount to about $19.
500,000. By net-rovenuos is meant
what will bo available to the general
fund after returns of a proportion
of certain taxes have been made to
tho several counties. Comparing
with the expenditures for 1895 and
189(5, which were large, it will take
about $7,400,000 of the estimated
$19,500,000 to cover the expenses of
the State Government, including the
State departments, the Legislature,
the insane, hospitals and peniten
tiorics, tho judiciary, National
Guard, public printing and binding,
interest on the public dobt and mis
cellaneous items. Assuming that as
much will be appropriated for the
above indicated expenses for the
next two years as for tho last two,
thero would Btill bo left $12,100,000
to be given to the schools and to
charities and out of which to get
$300,000 to erect the new legislative
building.
The figures show plainly enough
that it is possible, with the exercise
of proper judgment and a little cour
age, to adjust ihe expenditures to
the present revenues and not com
pel an increase of taxation. We
shall hope it is truo the recent con
ference has reached this conclusion,
and that it will bo demonstrated at
Harrisburg this week by prompt
and effective action which will end
tie humiliating demoralization so
long existing.
A Question.
The publisher of a newspaper has
one thing to sell and ono thing to
rent. He has the newspaper to sell
and the space of the columns to
rent. Can anyone inform us why he
should be expected to give away
either tho one or the other t He oan
if he so chooses, and he does, as a
matter of fact, furnish a great deal
of space rent free. But it does not
follow that be ought to do expected
as a contribution, exactly as would
be the giving a way of sugar, or cof
fee by a grocer. But, strange to aay,
it is not looked upon in that light at
alL but everybody knows that the
existence of a newspaper depends
upon the rent of its space aud the
sale of the paper, us a merchant's
success depends on selling his goods
instead ol giving them away.
