Some question has been raised a. to the
validity of the state land bill. which pro-
vides. among other things, for the land
commission to act as a harbor line COM
mission. The bill in question was 70
ported by joint committee a. . substitute
for several other bills introduced early in
tho session. The consensus Of opinion
seems to be that the bill. being reported a.
a substitute, does not come under the con-
stitutional provision requiring bills to be
introduced before ten days prior to the
final adjournment of the legislature, and
that it is therefore entirely regular and
legal.

to veto any of the separate items in tho
bill, and he may feel called upon in the

law. it will result in . deficit ct tho ex-

BAKER WAS UNSEATED.
Taggart to Occupy His Place
in the House.
AN ELECTION CONTEST SETTLED.

The House by a Vote of 1i6 to Gs Declares
MIR. Baker to HaveBeen Illegally Elect
ed to Represent Montgomery County
Other Legislative News.
HARRISBURG, April 19--Another demo
crat, making four in all, has been unseated
by the republican majority in the house,
Charles /. Baker from Montgomery county,
giving way to Austin l.. Taggart, who con
tested his seat on the ground that fifty six
students at st. Charles Borromeo seminary,
Catholic institution where young men
are prepared for the priesthood, voted H.
legally for Baker. The house agreed with
this idea and voted to unseat that gentle
man, the only incident of the roll-call be-
ing the fact that Mr.. Butterfleld, of Erie,
a republican, voted with the democrats in
favor of Baker.
There yet remain two contests to be
acted upon. In the Lancaster county case
the general belief is that Walter w. Frank
lin, republican, will be given the seat now
held by his successful democratic op-
ponent, Mr.. Forrest, and that ]. p. O'Kell
will become a member from Lackawanna
county in place Of j. J. Quinnan, the
democrat who apparently beat him at the
polls last November The other democrats
who have been unseated are Wilbur p.
Highly, OF Crawford county, who gave way
70 ex-State Chairman Andrews. and
Messrs. Waugaman and Barnhart, of
Westmoreland, who were succeeded by
Porter and Hunter.
In departing from the house Mr.. Baker
takes with him the good will Of nearly
every member. His services during two
sesaions have earned for him a seat on the
nrst row and high place In the estima-
oon OF his associates. Farmer" Taggart

The new building will be built on the
site OF tho rustic fountain, just south OF
the department Of internal affairs, and
will be finished before work Is commenced

legislation make a debtor pay q dol

The foregoing arguments leave
the objectors to the sugar bounty
hardly a leg to stand on. II they
fall back on the claim that it is UNI
constitutional there is q whole array
of precedeuts to prove the contrary,
beginning with the fish bounty Of
1889 referred to above, and asserted
at such frequent intervals ever since
as to indicate that it was perma-
nently recognized az q constitutional
mode Of encouraging industries.
These precedents include the boanty
of 1892, to vessels 10 the fisheries
trade, which bounty was increased
in 1918; a land bounty to grape cul.
ture in 1917, and a number of boun~
ties given by States, the most nota.
BILE Of which was Michigan's bounty
of ten cents a bushel on salt in 1859,
which has made salt cheaper than it
ever was before. The present act
has expressly been held to be consti.
tutional, not only in its general prin'
ciples, but in its bounty features.
In November, 1892, the United
States Circuit Court in a Louisiana
case held the bounty to be a contract
between the government and the
planters and farmers. To repeal a
piece of legislation enacted on these
principles and on such conditions,
would be an act of reputation de-
serving to be ranked with bunco
steering or fraudulent bankruptcy.
