Against Probing Business

Let us keep out of the investigation
business. The appointment of commits
sions to peer into this and smell into
that, who make junket of their work
and then submit a report which nobody
reads and presents the state with bill
running high up into the thousands of
dollars, is the price of their useless in
formation.
"The tendency among legislative
bodies for the past several years has
been regulate everybody and everything
until it has come to pass that man or
firm or a corporation engaged in an
ordinary, respectable business must be
continually hunting a lawyer to tell
him what he can do or what he can t
do. The people are sick, sore and tired
of that sort of thing.
No Heed to Intolerant Clamor
"Let us steer clear of half baked
theories in legislation. remembering how
hard it is to repeal an act of assembly
even after its inefticiency has been con
clusivly demonstrated. As an example
let me cite the non partisan election of
judges.
Let us give no heed to intolerant
responsible assault.
SO object to the term progressive
legislation in its application to this ses-
sion of the General Assembly. In view
of the fact that the Republican party
will be held responsible for everything
done here Republican legislation is the
better, the more appropriate term to
employ and then, 'leSt we forget Pro
gressive and Republicanism are and
have been, both in the State and Ma
tion, synonymous terms.
Delay in State Litigation
''I would suggest the enactment of
a law that would make it possible for
cases in which the Commonwealth is in
volved by reason of question of con
stitutionality to have the question of
constitutionality taken direct to the Su-
preme Court for adjudication, and thus
get rid of the intermineable delay re-
sulting from first trying the case in the
Common Pleas Court which delay often
works so disastrously to the Common
wealth S best interests, in substanti-
alton of which I point to the coal tax
law of 1913. The tax due from these
corporations, under the act of 1913, up
TO date, is, | am informed, nearly 49,.
100000. The coal companies have col
lected the tax from the consumer, and
more, too but have never paid it into
the State Treasury and if the Supreme
Court should decide the act of 1913
unconstitutional the anthracite monop,
oily will have both the penny and the
cake ~

LIEUT.. GOV. M'CLAIN'S
ADDRESS TO THE SENATE

In assuming the Office of Lieutenant
Governor, Frank B. McClain made a
long address to the Senate. He said
that the Legislature should not treat
the party platform of 1914 as if it
were a series of "New Year resolu-
tions.'
We don t need to do a whole lot of
things. he said, "but what is done
should be well done and done quickly" +"
Mr. McClain advocated economy in
appropriations. He said:
1.-The net revenues of the State for
the year, 1914, show a decrease, due
to existing business depression. True,
the decrease is not great one but for
all that, its a decrease, and present
prospects hold out no promise of in
crease for the coming year. Therefore
greater economy will have to be prac-
ticed. We cannot spend what we do
not have, and certainly no increase in
appropriations can be made over the ap-
preparations of 1913.
Amusing to Hear People Talk
"It is positively amusing to hear
some people who ought to know bet
ter, but dom talk of how the State
should appropriate millions for this and
millions for that, as if the public treas
ury was as inexhaustible as the ever
filling pitcher of the Danaides. They
evidently are of the impression that
money grows on the trees in Capitol
Park or can be dug out like culm coal
from the bed of the nearby Susquehan-
ma. They talk about a million or two
with the same abandon they would talk
about thirty cents of their own. They
seem to forget that taxation is the only
method through which gold can be put
into Pennsylvania S strong box And
taxation these days is not a popular
brand of legislation. We had evidence
of that in the results of the last cam
paign and under existing circumstances
it behooves us of the majority party to
sternly turn our faces against all prop
ositions in legislation in the shape of
now takes whether the same be new
subjects of taxation or additional bur
den upon>those who, under existing law
and present conditions, are heavily la.
! den.
