Dicker Hardly Possible After That.
In the haymarket one afternoon a
couple of farmers stopped to talk
crops and horses. “Are you in the
market for a good horse?” asked one.
“Always ready to dicker,” the other
answered. “Ever see that little bay
mare of mine?” “I think I know the
critter.” “How'd you like to own
her? She’s yours at rock-bottom
price. ” Gathering up his lines pre-
paratory to leaving the spot, the other
farmer replied: “Well, John, I'd buy
her this morning, but I hate to bust
a dollar.”

Insanity Not Increasing.
Among other important facts
brought out at the meeting of the
Association of Directors of the Poor
in (Philadelphia was that insanity is
not increasing in Pennsylvania. It
was stated that recurrent reports of
marked increases in the number of
insane are due more to reports show-
| ing an increased number of insane
provided for in homes and asylums,
than to an actual increase, and that
unfortunates of this class are well
provided for by the state.
Carlisle was selected as the next
place of meeting, and the following
officers were named by the nominating
committee without opposition: Pres-
ident, Andrew S. Miller, Pittsburg;

Will Not Call Legislature.
erendatn
Recense s@ much opposition to the
$50,000,000 bond issue amendment for
good roads has developed, a letter re-
cently written bys Governor Tener to
a friend in the western part of the
state, in which the governor promises
not to call an extra’ session of. the
legislature to rush through an en-
. abling act for the issuing of the bonds

available during his administration
has been given out by the executive
department. 3
The friend wrote that some of his
neighbors were not satisfied with the
interview issued by ' the governor
some time.ago, in which he said he
Saw ‘no reason for an extra session,
and his subsequent speech before the
good roads convention, in which he
said the enabling act would be for
the 1915 legislature to pass, In re-
ply the governor wrote:
“You can say for me and say it
definitely that no extra session will
‘be. called for the purpose of appro-
priating funds for good roads, in event
of the passage of the constitutional
amendment.
“With everything to gain and noth-
ing to lose, I cannot see why farmers
or anyone else would be against the
bond issue, unless they prefer that the
construction as in the past, using
only such appropriation as is available
out of the ordinary revenues for this
purpose, and I would like to have any-
one suggest a better method of financ-
ing the department, so that the pres-
ent generation may enjoy better
roads.“

MAY REPEAL SPROUL LAW
If Bonds Are Not Voted the Townships
May Again Be Compelled to Main-
tain Roads, Or a Direct Tax
Will Be Necessary.
If the State is not authorized by
the citizens at the coming election to
incur the proposed debt of $50,000,000
to improve the main highways of the
Commonwealth it is very possible
that the next Legislature will repeal
the Sproul bill and throw back on the
townships the 9,000 miles of road
‘embraced in the present system. The
‘Sproul law places on the Highway
Commissioner “all of the duties and
responsibilities so far as State High-
ways are concerned as existing laws
placed on township supervisors. Un-
der this section of the act the High-
way. Commissioner has been indicted
in two counties owing to the danger-
ous comdition of the State roads,
which he is powerless to remedy, not
having the necessary funds. If the
people vote down the loan amendment
the repeal is more than likely, as the
State cannot and should not suffer its
officials. to be indicted in the local
courts fo. faflure to perform a duty
when such failure is caused solely by
a deficiency in funds necessary to
perform that duty.
If the Sproul law is repealed its
repeal will throw on the townships |
the maintenance of more than 9,000 |
miles of the main roads—the roads
which are the most costly to main-
tain. by reason of their carrying 85
» per cent of the traffic of the State.
{ The design of the Sproul law which
places the responsibility * "for the re-
construction and lnaintenance of these
9,000 miles of main highways on the
State was to secure to every section |
of the Commonwealth easy access to
its markets, and as President Wilson
said, “to bind communities together
and to facilitate intereourse sp that

NO POLITICS
IN THE LOAN
Endorsed by Prominentl eaders
of All Political Parties
THOUSANDS ASK ITS PASSAGE
Active Committees Comprising Over
1,500 Leading Citizens Represent-
ing All Political Parties, Now at
Work for the Amendment.
That the movement for the passage
of the $50,000,000 bond amendment is
not identified with any political party
is clearly demonstrated in every sec-
tion. © Franklin county furnishes a
good illustration where the county
committee has recently been increas-
ed by 125 volunteers, men affiliated
with the Republican, Progressive,
Democratic, Socialist and Prohibition
parties.
State Chairman Weeks, in an inter-
view, said: “We have active commit-
in a few days the remaining four
counties will be organized. The men
on the committees are nearly evenly
divided in their pelitical faiths and
every one realizes that politics has no
part in road buildif*e and road build-
ing has no part in politics. The motto
mittees is: ‘We vote two. days in the
year, but we travel over the roads 365
days.’ At a recent meeting in Lan-
caster the chairman, Hon. D. F.
Magee, mayor of that city and a
prominent State leader in the Prog-
ressive party, most heartily endorsed
the loan and ex-Attorney General
William TU. Hensel, for many years
Democratic State Chairman and still
“one of the noted leaders of that party,
made a stirring speech in its favor.
A few of the. points made by Mr.
Hensel were: “A State of the magni-
tude of Pennsylvania, with ts enor-
mous values can well afford to spend
the amount contemplated.” * * =*
“That the burden of long lasting bet-
terment should be borne by a single
generation is unfair; particularly
when’ the debt and interest can be
paid in from 30 to 50 years, without
facility.”, The President also said,
“The development of a great system
of roads is a task of statesmanship,”
and Pennsylvania's great statescian,
Senator W. C. Sproul’ of Delaware
county, has been ®foremost in meeting
that great need. This law has reliev-
ed the townships of the State of the
care of more than 9,000 miles of high-
ways. When it is considered that on
these roads over eighty per cent of
traffic ‘is of non-residents of the town-
ships, who have heretofore paid no
share of the cost of construction or
maintenance to the township which
has been responsible for the upkeep
of the road, it is apparent that under
the old plan an uhfair burden was
. placed on the taxpayers of all such
townships. By means of the loan the
State - can reconstruct these roads
without a burden being placed on any-
one. The motor vehicle fee will meet
the entire bill and our people will be
better off financially, morally and
mentally.
PRESENT ADMINISTRATION WILL
NOT HAVE THE SPENDING OF
ONE DOLLAR OF ROAD LOAN
| In his address at the Good Roads
iConvention in Harrrisburg, Governor
Tener said: “Should the amendment
‘pass it will be incumbent upon ta
‘Legislature of 1915 to consider an
¥ enabling act making provision for tos
tenure, the rate of interest aad other
terms of bonds, as well as providing
. for their sale, from “=== = © time, in
i amounts limited to tne Recessitics of
‘the Department as work progresses.”
"As the people next year must elect
all the Assemblymen and one-half the
Senators who will sit in 1915 and win
.at the same time elect the Governor
‘who, in turn, must appoint the High-
i way Commissioner—the argument of
those persons who are opposing the
loan because they are opposed to the
present administration is without
weight and not worthy of considera-
‘tion.
The road loan is not a question
of men, but of principle. Pennsylva-
nia had a State Treasurer at one time
who was accused of dishonesty, but
we did’not shut’ #pitss Sars os
put the State out of business on that
account. Railroads have had incom-
pétent and dishonest officials in the
past, but that did not deter the
stockholders of the Pennsylvania Rail.
road Company from voting for a loan
of $150,000,000 (three times the
amount sought for road purposes) to
enable that corporation to carry its
lines into New York city—besides the
many hundreds of millions previously
voted for extensions and betterments.
The argument that there is na
necessity for issuing bonds for Road
Building and saddling on the State
the payment of interest when the
Legislature can “each two years ap-
propriate the necessary money out of
current revenues, is a mood one in
theory only, for no Legislature has
as yet appropriated sufficient funds
for this purpose.
The income of our State is now
greater than ever before but the 1913
appropriation bill set aside only
$1,000,000.00 for reconstruction and
$1,400,000.00 for the maintenance for
two years of our 9,000 miles of State
Highways.
What progress can be expecied |
under such conditions?
| resort to new. objects of taxation as
can be easily demonstrated.” “More-
over from present indications. the re-
ceipts from’ automobile . registration
and licenses bid fair to carry all cos:
of the loan.” “I am thoroughly con-
vinced of the greatest enliancement
of land values following this loan for
this has been the result in every
other section.” “The thousands of
miles taken over by the State are
most important and most used roads
in the Commonwealth. They are now
deteribfating for lack of funds and
unless speedily reconstructed hun-
dreds of miles will soon be in ruins
and the ultimate cost of restoration
will be doubled and quadrupled.
There is also a grave danger that
they will be thrown back on the
townships and that will mean an aw
ful burden of taxation.” “In favoring
the proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution I am influenced by no con-
sideratiol ‘except a regard for the
welfare of the, people of Lancaster
county consistent, however, with that
dae rwsmra for ihe rights and interest
of the rest of the Commonwealth,
which ores “and . locality
should cherish.” “There was a time
when the question of good roads was
one to be solved by every commu-
nity, hut Sha tims kes passed.”
“Pally, I am for this amendment
because I have ‘faith in the broad-
minded, public- -spirited and thoroughly
honest man who stands most con-
spicuously for the good roads: move-
ment in Pennsylvania.
native of Lancaster county, sprung on
both sides from a long Lancaster
county lineage—the Senator from
Delaware, Hon. William GQ Sproul. I
have his personal assurance that if
the people of the State endorse the
proposition now submitted to ‘them,
every ambition ‘of his public career
and every talent he has for public
service shall, be devoted to the effi-
cient, intelligent and honest adminis-
tration of this great public trust.”
Mr. Hensel went on to demonstrate
that' if the present loan failed the
movement would be set back seven
years at least. And in conclusion he
said: “Feeling, therefore, that if this
cause is lost now it will be forever
lost to my generation and those to
come long after me, I give my voice
and hand and vote to the cause.”
Chairman Weeks showed our cor-
respondent a pile of letters from more
than 1,500 men prominently identified
with all parties in every part of Penn-
sylvania who voiced sentiments simi-
lar to those expressed by Mr. Hensel.
