LEGISLATIVE NEWS
MOVIE REGULATOR
IS MUCH AMENDED
Fees Reduced and Powers of Cen
sors Are Restricted Under the
Redrafted Measure

Amendments made to the Daix SEN
ate bill designed to provide a new
| system of regulation of moving pic
ture films are understood to be satis-
! factory to both exhibitors and state
officials and the bill as changed by the
Senate judiciary special committee will
| be on third reading in the Senate to-
night This bill will take the place of
the Stern bill. which is a special order
| for the House this evening. and Is
taken to indicate at the Capitol that
the movie men have given up any
hope of repeating the censorship.
Governor Brumbaugh recently said
that. he felt the censorship should be
retained and Attorney General Brown
shares the same view.
The amended Daix bill cuts the fee
for examination from $3.50 to a dol
lar for each film or duplicate. The
Stern bill makes the fee so cents. An
other amendment gives the censors'
board right to prevent display of films
not officially approved. The board is
required to make only rules that are
reasonable" and the right of appeal
TO court from decision of the censors
Is provided. Powers over advertising
are limited to banners, posters and
other like advertising"
The fine for violation is reduced
from s25 to $50. the original penalty
being from $50 to 500. The failure
to display the certificate of approval
is punishable by a fine of from So to
SIC on summary conviction.
The bill provides for a board of
three censors. one to be a woman. The
amendments reduce the salary of the
vcie-chairman from $2.500 to $4,000
and of the secretary from s2,400 to
$4,000.

LEGISLATURE CAN
CHECK THE FIRES
Commissioner Conklin Outlines
What Should Be Done in Way
of Appropriations

Forestry Commissioner Robert s.
Conklin in statement issued last night
declared that only adequate legislative
provision for fire patrol and fire fight
ing service could prevent serious losses
or timber in the future. Mr.. Conl<lin
holds that much fire loss could have
been prevented if sufficient funds hatI
been voted and that the lessons of the
fires that have resulted in heavy dam
ages to State and private lands should
not be lost
Mr.. Conklin says:
The great and destructive forest
fires which during the last few days
nave faFaged almost every part of the
state, have happily been checked by
the rain of Friday morning 1t is now
probable that the fire fighting force
VIII be relieved for a day or two, and
that If any fires persisted through the
rain or the rain was not so general
as to eXtinguish all of them the damp
condition of the atmosphere will en-
able the fire fighting force to over
come every fire.
The recurring semi-annual nuis-
ance of forest fires is probably attract
ing greater attention this Spring than
usual. The widespread destruction
caused by the enormous fire in Cum
berland county. serves to bring home
to the people of that neighborhood and
the forest fire. The vandaI who set
that blaze is deserving of the severest
punishment the State can give him.
The Department of Forestry has
always preached the doctrine that it is
cheaper to prevent fires than to extin-
guish them. The cost Is usually not
much greater and in addition the tim
ber and all the other valuable things
destroyed are saved. The forest fire
law of 1909. in Section IS, provides a
method for daily patrol. but this pro-
vision has been completely nullified
since the passage of the laws by the
refusal of the Legislature to appro
pirate sufficient money to place men
upon daily patrol.
"A patrol of the highly dangerous
regions, which, in the experience of the
department, results in the quenching
of many fires in their incipiency, would
cause careless users of fire in the
woods to be more cautious because of
the fact that n patrol is kept. Five
minutes work at a fire at its beginning
is worth days of labor put in after the
fire has once obtained a great head
way"

APPROPRIATIONS
PRESENT BIG TASK
Chairman Woodward Says That
People Should Wait Results
Before Criticising

Appropriation bills carrying $1S,-
553.664.43 have been reported out by
the House appropriations committee
and this week it is expected that the
State College appropriation, carrying
100000 and other appropriation bills
will be sent to the House very soon.
The bills reported out include those
for hospitals, homes, state and semi
state institutions, the appropriation for
the foot and mouth disease, main
tenance of INDECENT insane and other
objects. The reappropriation and We
toed bills are not included in the total
given and none of the Senate appro-
priation bills has been reported out,
but will lbe held until within ten days
of the session.
There is a belief about the Capitol
that a million dollars at least will be
added to the school appropriation and
the allowance for roads is more or less
contingent upon the passage of reve-
nue. raisers.
Chairman James r. Woodward, of
the appropriations committee, in dis
cussing the general bill said that 1T
would not be made up until all of the
appropriations can be listed and he
suggested that there be some pro-
vision made to care for administration
of workmen's compensation and child
labor by specific appropriation of fines.
The appropriation situation de-
pends upon what is enacted in the way
of increasing the revenues" said the
chairman. The demands are far in
excess of the estimated revenue and
criticisms should be withheld until the
results are seen. The task of making
the revenues fit the calls for funds in
view of the big things proposed is the
greatest we have yet encountered"

CHILD LABOR BILL
MUCH To THE FORE
Senate Committee in Charge Will
Announce Its Action During
the Present Week

This week will likely see action by
the Senate committee IN charge of the
child labor and compensation bills.
although there is no promise that they
will appear as they were passed by
the House. The child labor bill par
ticularly faces radical amendment, and
disagreement between the members
makes it uncertain just when the
measure will he reported In all
probability the legislative leaders will
confer this week with the Governor
in an effort to compromise on a bill
TO be enacted. The manufacturers are
insisting on several changes in the
bill, notably a change in the hours
from fifty-one to four-four week.
They are upheld by some members of
the committee, while others desire to
have the measure passed in the SEN
ate as it passed the House
The six bills and a resolution pro-
posing an amendment to the Consti-
tuition which constitute the workman's S
compensation measures are in the
Senate corporations committee.
The Legislature has reached a point
where adjournment may be taken
within three weeks from the coming
Thursday. Practically all the appro-
priation bills have been reported out
and if both branches work diligently
during this week the bulk of the pro-
posed legislation can be put into such
shape that 1t can be disposed of next
week, leaving the week following for
general cleanup.
The date of adjournment will prob
ably be agreed upon before many days.
The Senate has in its hands a reso-
nJflnn & I,,N
doubts whether the session will end
before May 13 or May 30.
Both branches of the Legislature
are scheduled to meet this evening.
On the Senate third reading or final
passage stage are the bills repeating
the nonpartisan act insofar as 1t re-
lates to the judges of courts of record.
sproViding that counties shall pay cost
OF uniform primaries, regulating NOV
ing picture film examinations. the new
meat inspection act, appropriating
$l25,OOO to pay for cattle and prop
erty destroyed because of foot and

OF municipal affairs and a bureau of
vocational education and a division of

The house has three special orders
for tonight, as follows: Providing for
plans for ultimate consolidation of the
two penitentiaries In Center county
amending personal property taxation
| act of 1913 to bring insurance cor
porations having no capital stock
within its scope and regulating NOV

The traction engine bill is a special
order for the following day.
Eighty-seven bills of general char
acter are on third reading in the
House. with the ''iitney' bills on the
| postponed calendar. On the third
reading list are the cold storage re-
pealer, requiring railroads to remove q
grade crossing in each thirty miles OF
line annually, taxing capital engaged
in manufacturing at the rate of / mill

for 4-mill tax on loans.
Governor Brumbaugh has thus far
approved ninety-five bills and vetoed
