AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE.
Is the Most Important of Those Com
ing Heforc tho People of tho
Stnte.
Of tho five proposed amendments
to the Constitution of Pennsylvania
which are now heing advertised for
the Information of voters, hy far the
most important and far reaching is
the first one, which provides that the
Legislature may authorize tho Issue
of honds 'hy the state to tho amount
of fifty million dollars for the pur
pose of improving and rebuilding the
highways of the State. Under the
Constitution as it stands tho State is'
prohibited from borrowing money,
except to repel invasion, suppress in
surrection, defend the state in war,
pay existing debt or supply casual
deficiencies in revenue. Tho proposi
tion to bond the stato for road build
ing is in keeping with tho modern
idea of financing public Improve
ments so as to spread tho burden of
payment over a number of years and
let tho next generation help to pay
for tho benefits it will enjoy from
these Improvements.
In commenting editorially on this
proposition tho Pittsburg Press says
that tho creation of such a system or
good roads as amendment number
one contemplates would not only add
greatly to the value of all farm land
throughout tho commonwealth uut
would make it inestimably easier to
get frqm ono point to another in the
country districts and to transport
produco to market. It would unques
tionably cheapen tho cost of farm
produco in all city markets, and
would aid In tho permanent reduction
of tho cost of living by checking tho
abandonment of farms and Increas
ing tho number of peoplo engaged In
agriculture. It means much to tho
city wage earner that country llfo
should be mado more attractive and
tho decllno of agriculturo arrested.
Tho building of good roads would re-1
vivo farm llfo and glvo farm produc-i
tlon a wonderful now stimulus. La-i
bor will bo disposed to favor the
above amendment, which will creato
a great demand for lnbor.
As the good roads amendment is
to bo voted on for tho second tlmo In
tho leglslaturo of 1013, whose mem
bers aro to bo elected In November
next, tho Pennsylvania Motor Fed
oration is urging all friends of good
roads to urge upon candidates for tho
Senato and House, regardless of par
ty affiliations, tho great Importance
of this proposition to their constitu
ents. It is pointed out that only two
months romain beforo election In
which to demonstrate to legislative
candidates how strong Is tho senti
ment among all classes of peoplo In
favor of Improved highways.

COAIi COMPANY VS. ERIE It. R.
The White Mills Coal Company, by
Its attorney, Homer Greene, has tiled
a complaint with the State Railroad
Commission of Pennsylvania against
the Erie Railroad company, alleging
a violation on tho part of the rail
road company of Its agreement to
deliver coal at the pockets of the
complainant at White Mills.
Tho pockets and trestling were
built five or six years ago in accord
ance with plans and specifications
furnished by the railroad company.
Recently the railroad company has
Increased the weight of its cars and
engines, and demanded that the
White Mills Coal Company should re
build its trestling with heavier tim
bers at a large expense so as to sus
tain the greater weight. The coal
company having mado its origin
al construction in accordance with
the railroad company's require
ments, declined to rebuild at its own
expense, whereupon the Erie com
pany discontinued the delivery of
coal at the pockets.
The coal company requests the
