POWELL AND YOUNG
TOLD To GET ON THE
JOB BY BRUMBAUCH
Says if There Is Graft on Capitol
Hill 1t Is Their Business to
Ferret 1t Out
SHOULD GO TO THE COURTS
And Not Drag Their Insinuations to
the Partisan Newspapers
of the State
SHOULD GO TO THE COURTS

If there is anything wrong in the
State Highway Department or any
other department of the State govern
ment why don't Auditor General
Powell and State Treasurer Young ex-
pose 1t and refuse to pay the bills
asked DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh, Re-
publican candidate for Governor last
night at Franklin.
DR.. Brumbaugh said he had waited
to hear of any graft and called upon
the present auditor general and the
present State treasurer to go to the
criminal courts rather than to parti-
san newspapers with their complaints.
II condemn no man in advance"
solemnly declared Doctor Brum-
baugh. THE facts alone must deter
mine the verdict. If. as some insinu-
ate, there have been fraud and graft
in any department of our State gov
ernment, 1t is now and here the duty
of the present auditor general and
State treasurer to disclose the truth
and institute prosecution.
They were chosen by the people
to do this. 1t is their solemn obliga-
ton to act If action is required. It is
also their duty to the people to deny
insinuations If they be not true. If
they fail to act, 1 pledge you that IL
elected and any official is shown guilty

Immediately dismiss any one who
hurts the people of Pennsylvania, and
shall personally see that such Offend

that 1 shall appoint to office only man

once agree are wholly desirable men

Ash-leaved Maple Tulip Trees
Red Maple Gingco
Pin Oak Catalpa

Two varieties that should not be
planted are Carolina Poplar, because
of its short life and persistent and
far-reaching root system, causing
trouble with sewers, raising pave
ments, etc; the Silver Maple, because
of it's brittleness in not withstanding
wind and snowstorms. The most i'm
portant thing to consider in the selec-
ton of varieties for street planting is
to adopt a variety that is now domi-
nant on the street, provided it is a
good tree and suitable. The suitability
is determined largely by the width
of the street. Narrow streets should
have the more upright growing trees,
such as Gingco, Pin Oak, Ash, Tulip
