HARRISBURG LETTER.

May 4, lSlU.
Northeastern Pennsylvania is once
more represented at Harrisburg by
a chief at the head of one of the
large Departments of the State Gov
ernment. 1t took only a few mo-
ments of the time of the Supreme
Court to decide that Hon. C. Fred
Wright of Susquehanna county was
the proper person to occupy the Of
flee of State Treasurer, and that
same question need not bother us
again, for we have a precedent to
guide us. 1t is settled, that under
the existing law, the Governor has
the right to make the appointment.
Treasurer Wright has already quail
ified by filing proper bond in the
sum of 100000, which was found
to be satisfactory, and he was sworn
in. Up to this time there have been
no changes announced but there
may be changes later. The bank
balances have been counted, the
securities examined and everything
found to be in proper form. One
question only remains to be decided
whether the appointee shall serve
for one year or three.
Auditor General A. +. Sisson,
of Erie, assumed office on Tuesday
at noon, succeeding Hon. r. X.
Young, who will resume the prac-
tice of law at Wellsboro. General
Young has had a most successful
administration, viewed from any
standpoint. High water mark in the
collection of revenue was reached in
1909, the gross amount reaching
over $29, ,0O0 a figure that will
be excelled by only the hardest work
and persistent effort. The three
years of his term show total collec-
tions amounting to $50, 0,659,244.
This is far ahead of any previous
record. In other ways he establish
ed new high water marks, setting
a pace for those who should follow.
General Sisson comes to the De-
partment with a good record and
an experience of several years in the
public service. No changes have
been announced thus far, and it is
the purpose of the new official to
proceed cautiously, giving due re-
gard to efficiency, worth and expert
ence. Naturally his assumption OF
the Office is somewhat displeasing
to our Democratic friends, who are
prophecying all kinds of evil things
for his administration. 1t is only
fair to suspend judgment until he
has become accustomed to his posi-
tion and has indicated what might be
expected of him. 1t is too early
to condemn him for something he
has not done and the American de-
sire for fair play should prevail. He
needs no defence and proposes to
conduct his office fairly and hon.
estly.
Several booms for Governor have
been sprung, but dark horses are SO
plentiful that it is very difficult to
pick a winner. Were it not for the
serious condition of his health, Judge
Charles E. Rice, of the Superior
Court, would be in the race for the
honor, and he would be a strong
candidate. Knowing ones predict
that the nominee will come from the
section east of the Susquehanna riv.
er, but the western section is work
ing hard to land a man. He must
needs be a strong man to win this
year. Hon. Henry Houck will un-
doubtedly be named for Secretary
of Internal Affairs to succeed him
self.

PRESENTSSCHOOL
CODE BILL
Act Would Reorganize Educa-
tionaI System.
ALTERS PRESENT METHODS

Divides State Into Four Districts and
Gives School Boards Power to Levy
Taxes.
Senator Tustin, of Philadelphia, in
troduced the school code into the
Pennsylvania senate. This bill lacks
some of the features which made
the code Of two years ago unaccept-
lie and is expected to pull through.
me of its chief provisions enables the
Philadelphia school board to float its
own loans and imposes on the school
district, as distinct from the city, a
proportion of the municipal debt.
By enabling the school district to as
sumo it's own loans the Philadelphia
debt limit will be increased about $780,.
100000.
Elective school boards of fifteen
members in Philadelphia and Pitts
burg, each member to serve six years;
the right of the Philadelphia board to
levy a separate tax not to exceed six
mills for school purposes and to make
loans for building new school build
ings; division of the state into four
classes of school districts, the first
class embracing Philadelphia and
Pittsburg; and the divorce of the
school control in any way from city
councils are the important features OF
the code.
The school districts of the second
class, according to the new code, will
be made up Of those having popula-
tion of from 10000 to $4,000.
In Philadelphia and Pittsburg the
school boards will have fifteen mem
bers, all of whom will be first appoint
ed by the courts, one-third for two
years, one-third for four years and one
third for six years, and at the expira.
tion of their terms their successors
will be elected bi-annually at large for
terms of six years. This method has
been followed, 1t is explained, because
of the demand that board which. has
the right to levy school taxes and to
borrow money for improvements
should be elective rather than ap
pointive.
The important feature of the code ia
that which gives the Philadelphia
board the right to levy a separate tax
and to make loans This will give the
city the opportunity of borrowing ad'
ditional millions when the school
loans are taken over by the board
The school loans cannot exceed pei
cent of the valuation Of the city.
The school board will be required to
pay all school expenses, interest and
sinking fund charges on all school tax
The new code provides for state
board of education of seven members
to be appointed by the governor for
six years, the term of one to expire
each year. The board members are to
serve without pay, and their function
will be largely advisory. They will
have the power to investigate school
problems and recommend new legisla
ton.
The code calls fer the accumulation
of state school fund by revenues
from the forest lands Of the state. The
| revenues ale to be kept intact. only
the income from them being used.

in the schools of the state is feature
