Kcr'sont;itive Herman last week said In- did nut know what the items ill the Ciink Itinera! hill consisted of to make the total of ill .NO. eall the attention of our readers to the ilicii.-ioii o( tin" bill given he- low. We wish to state that. Repre sentative inilli ol JVuiortl said if tliere anvtliiii" in the hill ol (J71.S0 lor him, it ,'lioiihlhe striek en out. Iid Representative Her man s:iv so ".' No sir, lie did not Representative Stcrr ol Philadel phia indirectly charged the commit tee with charging mileage lor two members ol uie comimucc wiio could not attend and stranire as it niav seem, wc can not find the re cord ol any one denying the charge. Our readers will ohscrve that in the discussion of the hill in the house not one ol the defenders ol the hill . claimed that they had paid for j collin and (lowers yet Rcprcsenta live Herman last week said they had. Representative Spitz a mem lx:r of the funeral committee said "Ye iliu actually have carriage hire-" What does this mean ? It would seem from this as though the only actual expense the committuc had was carriage lure trom Mercers hurg to Fulton county and yet their hill was (i7l.S0. ,No wonder Rep resentative Herman can not render an itemized statement ' tS Wo reprint below an extract of the House proceedings ill the Plnla. l'ress ol .June 2!t!i. From this it appears that only live nieniliers at tended the funeral making tin aver- ago cost of if 120 a piece. "When the item in the general ap propriation hill ol $C71 drawn in iu vor ol Kepresentative Long, chair man of the committee nn the part of the House to represent the House at the funeral of the 1'. McCaulcy Cook, of Fulton county, was repre sented. Representative Fly called upon Chairman Iiing,ol'the commit tee, lor a statement as to how so much money could he expended in a trip to Fulton county. Representa tive Long tried to explain, hy say ing that the funeral expenses had Im'cii paid hy the committee, hut finally wound up hy saying: "I don't care what you do with this hill. I left it to theScrgcaiit-at-Anus to prepare a hill that he thought was right. All I want is to seethe legitimate and just expenses paid." This tacit declaration that there wore some items that were legiti mate just raised a general laugh throughout the J louse. t'OST or A i rXKKAl, TRIP. Reprcspntativo Spatz followed in a speech that still further convulsed the members, half of whom were in the aisles, Mr. Spatz said that the hill had heen made up hv the Scr- geant-at-Arms. Alter the funeral the committee met in the corner ol a gallery ol (I race Church, and the question was "How much will we charge for the funeral'."' Mr. Spatz said that he had loaned the S'.Tge-ant-at-Aniis ten dollars, hut that had heen paid hack to him and he was satisfied. "We had a ride of twenty miles in a driving snowstorm," said Mr. Spatz. "And, gentlemen, we did actually have carriage hire. Wc had no telegrams or telephone mes sages to pay for, I want to say that I do not want any mileage. I want nothing, and if anything is charged to hie m that hill I want it wiped out. I got my ton dollars back from the Scrgeant-at-Arms and I am satisfied." "I want to know," asked Repre sentative Storr, of Philadelphia, who was in a very indignant frame of mind, "it the gentleman, Mr. Sjwtz, did not projiosc to the Ser-geant-at-Arnis to charge up mileage for two niemU-rs of the committee who could not attend the funeral and then divide the cum with the SergeanUat-Arms ?" Mr. Spatz replied by saying that when he had come to the Ijcgisla ture he was very green. He was told that it was customary to charge mileage and all sorts of expenses hen the matter ot mileage was proposed under the circumstances lie told the Scrgeant-at-Arms to go ahead it it was all right. .Now, that he had scon the evil of his ways, lie wanted nothing that was not right and proper. Full discussion on the bill reveal ed the fact that the exjienses tor the live members of the committee on the trip down in Fulton County, a listanee of SO miles, or more, hail been about 1-0 apiece. Keprcscn tative .Lytic, in ah attack upon the hill found fault with the charge that had l)ctn made. He said that about the only person who did not charge lor his expenses in attending th funeral was the man that had been buried. 1 1 he could earn money at that rate, as the committee had done. ic would Ik- willing to lay aside his toga id go into the busi- i fess ol job." ittending funerals as a steady A Lad Leawlaturo. The developments arising from the wreckage ol bad legislation and uncalled for appropriations is le- coiniug more and more apparent. Too many of them went there for "self" forgetting that they were sent there by good, honest, hardworking people to whom a Hollar moans a great deal. The 1'ost is the only . i .i.i paper in onyiior county that has dared to expose the wrong-doers in the legislature. It has dared to cxpouse the cause of the taxpayorsof Snyder county and the suite ol Pennsylvania. When a man takes money illegally or votes for it to be taken illegally from the coffers of the state, he is reaching into the pockets of every man in the entire commonwealth.' The Governor vetoed 350,000 in appropriations and he should have vetoed fully as much more making about 700,000 voted out that should have Imjcm killed in the enbryo. An attempt to justify such grabs by saying that it was done le- foro is about as logical as to say that because (luteau shot Garfield, some farmer in Center township has i right to kill his neighbor in Adams. It is about time for the people of Pennsylvania to cry "halt" and the people ol Snvdor county owe it to themselves to guard against the im- NMtioii of those in power. J Jut there comes a voice lrom every part (the county, "What canweuo'.' "Who can wc trust?" The proh- cm does seem perplexing. The power lies Willi the people it they but assert it. If the people de mand a more careful expenditure of public funds and exact a pledge with a bull-dog oath before nomina tion and election, they will at least lessen the reckless extravagance with public funds. Why not exact of every candidate for representative and every candidate for Senator to obligate himself to the people that he will not accept any pay for mile age or salary or anything else ex cept that expressly stated in the Constitution and further that ho will not vote for any bill for like items for another or for others ? Of course when these officers elect are sworn in they swear to support the Constitution of Pciin'a, but they do not seem to hoed the mandates of the constitution or their obligation to support it, but if the people rise up and make this de mand, it is at least more likely that an officer, if he has any self respect at all, will hoed such a demand. The Post has done its duty to ward the people of Snyder county. It has stood between those nieinliors of the legislature who were willing that the people should sutler and to allow the charities of the state to lie out short on the one side ami the honest toilers and taxpayers on the other. Every dollar of a steal that is voted out ot the State Treasury is a dollar out of the pockets of the taxpayers. And any ellort to be little the merits of a newspaper in cxjwsing such wrongs is au indica tion that such exposures are a source of much annoyance. The Post has done its duty and we leave the matter to Uie good judgment of the people to determine for them selves the best plans for the future. KKEAMEtt.
