Judge Elkin Scores State
For Its Slowness
IN ADDRESS ON GOOD ROADS
Need the Roads for This Generation, !
He Says, and Not Fifty
Years From
Now.
(By our special Harrisburg
correspondent.)
Harrisburg, Pa.
Remarkable Address.
Speaking at length amd out of the
fullness of his experience and from
his observation, Justice John P. Elkin,
former legislator and attorney gener-
al, student of men and affairs, striick
the keynote of the campaign for good
roads in Pennsylvania in a remarkable
address before the Good Roads con-
vention at the capitol.
He declared that Pennsylvania had
slumbered while her more enterpris-
ing sisters had built highways and
that now the people of the Keystone
state want roads, desiring that they
be built without delay.
Speaking about previous efforts to
obtain good roads in Pennsylvania,
Justice Elkin said:
“If we had acted promptly in 1889,
as we should have done, we would
now be enjoying the benefits of a
completed system of highways. We
have the opportunity of doing now
what we failed to do then. Shall we
do it or shall be wait ten, fifteen or
twenty years longer? No one has giv-
en a single valid reason why there
“This is not a political question in
any partican sense. It matters not
whether ru are Republicans, Pro-
gressives, Democrats, Prohibitionists,
or what our party affiliations may
be, so fr as the question of good
roads is concerned. The citizens of
the comr -vealth are entitled to’good
roads without regard to their political
faith.”
The ad’ress was given before the
good roads congress at which time
a resolution to the people of Penn-
sylvania was adopted, in which the
association commits to the favorable
consideration of the voters the pro-
posed amendment ‘to the constitution
to permit the state to issue bonds not
exceeding $50.000,000 for the construec-

Will Enforce Hunters’ Act. :
State game officials plan to begin
enforcement of the hunters’ license act
of 1913 at once and hunters found
without the license papers and tags
will be arrested. Fifteen days have
been given tc hunters to procure the
licenses from the treasurers of the IMPAIR MEN TAL FACULTIES N

Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the state

New Rate.
Election officers should be paid for
the primaries under the new act of
the assembly which fixes their com-
pensation at $5 a day, according to a
decision by Judge Frazer of the Alle-
gheny county court.

W. Powell asked the attorney general

M. D. GOLDSTEIN,
EYESIGHT SPECIALIST.
At Collins’ Drug Store, Hartley Block,
of is ene owner on Tuesday, October 7, 1918,
cers at $5 would apply to this pri-
mary. The department ruled that as
the officers were elected before the
Dassage of the law, their pay could not
be increased. This would have meant
that each election officer would have
been paid $1.25, the amount allowed
by the old primary act.
A Pittsbarger filed a bill in equity
to restrain the commissioners and
county controller from paying the $5
rate. The cad#® was argued before
Judge Frazer, who decided in favor of
the $5 rate. His decision reads:
“Whatever restriction there may be
upon the power of the legislature to
change the pay of election officers for
their services at elections provided
by the constitution, the prohibition of
the constitution does not apply to a
case where a new duty of holding
primaries is imposed upon the persons
who have been elected ag election of-
ficers, and therefore the act above
mentioned (1913) determines their
compensation,”
e
Women to Hunt.
Scores of women have taken out
hunters’ licenses in the counties of
the state sinee the issuance began at
the offices of the treasurers of the va-
ious counties ten days ago, and a num-
ber of treasurers have reported that
in many cases wives have accom-
panied their husbands to the offices
and secured their cards and tags at
the same time. This licensing of wom-
en as hunters has been on a greater
scale than expected and state game
officials say that is illustrates the pop-
