About Closing Date Because Governor-elect 1 Tener'a Program Is Not Known, j May Go Along Until May. ! BY ROBERT HAIGHT. j Harrisburg, Pa. From now until the reconvening of both branches of the legislature on the night of Jan. 16 tho members will be butty importuning their friends to bring pressure on the presiding officers of both houses to favor them with choice committee as signments. It is a well known fact that in the eyes of the experienced legislator his selection for membership on a pre ferred committee will give him greater opportunity to spread himself and further the progress of favored legis lation than all the speeches he can deliver. Then again membership on an important committee means that the leaders are forced to go to the 1 members and ask them to vote for or against a measure, as the case may be, which puts the member In a po. I- tlon to become known and more eligible to seek further favors at tho hands of the party manipulators. - Equitable Distribution Promised. Prior fb the adjournment last week Speaker Cox asked the members to forward to him during the recess thDlr requests for committee assignment and he promised to take all the ap plications into consideration and make as equitable a distribution of tho places as it Is in his power to do. Ac cording to tho view of the speaker the present session is destined to be ono of the most notable in the history of the state, as much important legisla tion Is to be framed, and for this reason unusual caution will have iO be exercised in the makeup of tha different committees. Care will have to be taken to see that a goodly number of experienced legislators will have to be sand wiched In between the new members, of whom there Is an unusual number In the house. In looking over the makeup of the popular branch it has been discovered 'that out of a total membership of 207 there are no les than 123 new faces, and It would never do to trust important legislation to the care of these novices. Legislation Interests Leaders. The most . important of the many measures In which the leaders are Interested In forcing to a passage in cludes the school code, reorganization of the highway and Insurance depart ments, tax reform legislation, revision of the election laws, reapportionment Of the state upon the basis of the new census, Increasing the powers of the railroad commission, the pending" constitutional amendments, the aboli tion "of the magistrates and the crea tion of new common plea courts -and increasing the salaries ot the judges thereof. The uncertainty as to the amount of time to be consumed in the passage of these various pieces of legislation' has forord the leaders to devin'e from their plans of the past and limit tho time for continuing the legislature In session. Heretofore It has always been customary at the beginning of the so'sicn to set a date for the con elusion of the sessions, but this time bo mention was made of thl3. Uncertainty About Adjournment. When asked the reasons for ignor ing the subject United States Senator Penrose declared that while an early adjournment is .desirable the inability to Judge the time necessary to pass upon the various questions and the uncertainty as to what other legisla tion may be suggested by Governor elect John K. Tener made It Impos sible to set a definite date. An attempt will be made, however, to restrict the session as near to ono hundred days as possible, although the old timers do not look for an adjourn ment until the flowers of May have begun to bloom. 6chool Code May Consume Much Time. Of all the measures above enumer ated it la expected that the greatest amount of time will be consumed over the consideration of the school code and the report of Senator McNichol's lommlsslon to revise the tax laws. The recommendations of the former have been known for several months and in many of the rural districts of the state the candidates for the legis lature were forced to make their cam paigns on the attitude they would take when these recommendations are sought to be enacted into a general law. The conditions In the . various school districts differ ao widely that It will be hard to convince the mem ben that then own individual school district will benefit materially by the change and hence a great deal ot time will be consumed to round off the rongh edges of the bill. But K is on the report of the find ings of the tax commission and the bills to be drafted In accordance there with that the longest and most drawn out contests will take place.' Already tho members are being deluged with appeals from all over the state to vote for this proposed recommendation .or oppose some other one and this b fore the bills carrying these findings into effect have really been proposed. New Tax Recommendations. Tho principal recommendation.) which will be presented for the con sideration of the legislature are th-i following: A direct Inheritance tux of 1 per cent and a graduated Collateral in heritance tax to be made legal by con stitutional amendment. A 1 mill tax on the capital stock ol manufacturing corporations. Appointment of the board of re vision of taxes by the auditor general instoad of by the board of Judges of the court of common pleas. ' An Increase equal to five times the amount of. present taxation In taxes on motor vehicles, which, It Is expect ej, would yield additional state rmnues of $2,000,000 a year. An ad valorem tax of 2U, per cen; on anthracite coal at the mine mouth or In lieu thereof a flat tax of fi cent' a ton at mine mouth. Tax on Foreign Corporation!). A tax on foreign comporatiour doing business In this state and the enactment of a law providing lor the registration of such foreign corpora tions in order to bring them within reach of processes of the Pennsylvania courts and the taxing authorities. Continuance of present mercantile tax, but us means of better assu.lm equalization of such tax an annual publication of the gross volume oi business on which such tax is as sessed in each instance, in addition to the names and classification of such taxpayers. Kven the most cursory peiiisal oi these subjects will iloi.:cvtrate the number of pi np'e who would be af fected by tlicsa proposition if enact ed into laws and vitlie 'he doniln .: party Is firmly Jntren'-heil In both branches of the legislature then seems to be a tlKpo-Zti'm among t!i" members to move eintlously on the' enactment of lcgislaMon affeetin-; the great mass of the people and this slow" policy Ii!i'::n3 thai all le-etcst-or recommendations will he c:er::!' weighed, thus consuming move tin of the Fess'on. Future Proceedinps. When the legislature adjourned i AU so with the understanding tliat I; would reconvene on the night of Jan 16. The first business of the hour then will be to put on final passage the bill which has already received two readings and which p ovides ar. appropriation to pay the senators and members and the employes of bof branches. The bill will then be messaged ove to the senate, and It is expected tha: If all plans are carried out it will re celve its three readings and he rent for Governor Tener to r.ttach his p'r nature thereto not later than Jan. is It Is expected that Rpenker Cnx v !' be prepared to announce the re i!;n :; of the regular standing co.mnit'eo of the house on the evening of 16 and a flood of bills is anticipate' Immediately after this announcemc- Two Big Events. The following day (Tuesday) be largely taken up with the Inaugur: tion of John K. Tener of Charlerol a. the successor to Edwin S. Stuart an this event will be followed by the meeting of both houses In Joint cor vention to elect a successor to Unite States Senator George T. Oliver. Th: latter has already been named In rni ens and only Ihe perfunctory ratlflcr lion of the vote to comply with th constitutional demands Is neeessn to accomplish his election. When the excitement attending these two great events has subsided the legislature will get down to the regular hum-drum sessions of the u sembly. The senate will most likely hold only short sessions of one or two days each week for IV first month In order to'al'ow the houo members to present thrlr bills and get the committees working properly, as the upper branch always works mere rapidly because of Its much more re stricted membership. To Enlarge Powers. What Is expected by many to pr clpate quite a bitter contest will h the attempt to be made by the state railroad commission for the enact ment of legislation which will give them Increased and enlarged powers Every time this subject has beer broached In sessions since the crea tion of the commission It has beer frowned upon by the members, man of whom are opposed to the contlntt atlon of the commission on the as sumption that It was created solely to provide soft and lucrative berths for political and personal favorites. Last session a bill embodying some recom mendations of the commission was presented but It was. promptly con signed to a committee pigeon hole, 'Where It remained nntil the session was over. Would Prevent Stock "Watering." According to Nathaniel Ewlng, tho president ot the commission, bills ask ing that this body be clothed with au thority to control the capitalization of corporations will be one of the most Important requests to be contained in the commission's annual report Judge Ewlng believes that with these powers existing much could be accomplished I toward preventing the "watering" ti Stock.
