Harrisburg, Pa., May 1.—Peace and
harmony marked the agreement by the
Slate senate last week on the Buck-
san bill to create a war fund board
t supervise the expenaiiure o. P.nn-
#y.vania's contribution to the c¢.sc¢ of
Ca.Tying on the war with Germany.
When the upper branch and the gov-
ernor disagreed in the beginning re-
g:..ding who should constitut: his
b ard a cry was raised by hostile
ncwspapers that Pennsylvania w u.d
be compelled to take the backgrouad
as far as aiding the nation; that no
bill would be passed for the reason
that the politicians could n-t r-ach sn !
agreemeu.. The ridiculousness of tas |
assertion was best shown last week
when all hands got together and pu |
through a bill without a word of op
position.
The board is now made up of the !
governor, lieutenant governor, auditor
general, state trecsurer anil alja‘an: |
general. When the bill was r ached
on second reading, Senator Vare, cf
Philadelphia, spokesman fcr the gov:
ernor in the senate, offered sm->-d-
ments making the bill gat fa. t 1y to
these who insisted right along that !
the auditor general should have a
place on the commission. In doing |
this Senator Vare said among other
things: |
It was thought, above all thin 8, that
we did not want to see the = te ol
Pennsylvania to be the last state to
offer its services to the United State
vernment, and for that re
ave come to feel here in the senate
that we need quick and immediate a -
tion. Our side wanted to see the mt-
ter closed up whereby we could seni

What Crow Said.
Senator Crow, of Fayette, chairm-n
of the Republican state committee,
followed Senator Vare with thege
werds:
I heartily agree with everythin that
figs been ey by the senator from
Philadelphia, and by way of explana-
ton: a week ago a new bill on thie
subject was Introduced in the senate
carrying with it the mames of W. W.
ury, E. T. Stotesbury, of Phila:
Weélptia, and Andrew Mellon, of Pit‘s-
‘burgh. In the grog ing of those names

thowever, the suggestion has been |
made that the constitutionality cf the |
act would be questioned if it were to
‘be passed, that it is a question wheth-
or or not the legislature has the right
to delegate its authority. Not desir-
ing to further delay this project, or
i y way involve the constitu‘ion-
ality of the act, their names have been
grorpsd. We heartil concur in wh~t

Endorsement of the peace plan was
also given by Senator Eyre, of Ches-
ter, who expressed himself in these |
words:
|
Mr. President, it is with great pleas.
ure that I agree with the views of the
distinguished senator from the firs
district of Philadelphia. It had ocC-
curred to me from the very start that
we should have a commission in which
the entire legislative body, as well us
the entire state of Pennsylvania conld
have confidence, and in is solution |

Pven the Democrats were pleased
with the settling cf the difference, for :
Wasbers, of York, informed the sen- |
ste that ‘he was solicitlous fo see the ;
matter disposed of in so satisfac‘ory a
manner. “lI am pleased to hear (hb
result,” said Wasbers. |
Finally, Senator Snyder, of Schuyl-
will, who today takes his oath of office
ag auditor general and whose name
on the board precipitated the govern- |
or's opposition, brought the debate or,
rather the peace session, to a close
with the following few but significant
words:

The Brisk Smoke—“Bull” Durham
When you see an alert-looking young man in a
lively argument roll a “Bull” Durham cigarette—it’s
the natural thing. He likes to punctuate a crisp
sentence with a puff of “Bull” Durham. His mind
responds to the freshness that's in the taste of it, and
his senses are quickened by its unique aroma. A
cigarette of “Bull” Durham just fits in with keen |
thinking and forceful action. |
