WHITMAN FOR FIVE
FINANCIAL REFORMS
Would Let Public In on All
Conferences on states
Business.
TURNS IN HIS BU DGET

ALBANY. Ian. 2o.-Disavowing any
disposition on his part to encroach upon
the province OF the Legislature in the
matter OF appropriations Gov. Whitman
clarified tonight his views on financial
legislation.
In a letter to Frederick a. Cleveland
secretary Of the Bureau of Municipal
Research. the Governor made II plain
that his action IN drafting II tentative
budget. which Wa placed on tn" desks
of the Legislators shortly aftcr the open
ing Of the SEES ion, was to make The Leg
islaturc understand the financial needs
OF the state.
The Governors expression Of his views
indicates that he Ia these financial
reforms
The preparation of a tentative
budget embodSiug expenditures TO lie
made by departments under his Juris-
diction.
The elimination Of private financial

such expenditures to- the actual needs
OF the State. and no. the JOINT Cunsid-
GRAFTON Of expenditures and income.
II firmly believe said the Governor
In his letter, that no discussion uf APP

private sessions either 10y IN" l.egisla-
;ur. or ;hc Executive. hay" endc.tN-
orcd 10 emphasize my views ON this
point not only in public statements but
In public acts.
NO public business OF any Kin
should lie considered IN private except
those matters pertaining to criminal
prosecutions or legal prosecutions or
defence where the public interest would
bo obviously jcopardizcd by publicity.'
With reference 10 his views OF the
separate consideration of expenditures
the Governor says:
1T is my judgment that not one dol
lar should he raised either in revenue
or by direct taxation which is not man
datorily required ny state needs. The
practice of the state IN the past. 70 far
az | havc been able 10 ascertain. has
been 10 appropriate to the extreme limit
of the Complaisancc OF the Executive
or up to the point of public protest and
then devise some scheme for Increasing
the revenues Of the state to meet that
appropriation programme.
II am very certain that these two
ideas should be clearly d~isassoc'atcd In
tho minds of the Legislature and in the
mind OF the Executive that our first

issue or interfere with its success by a
consideration OF what the revenues ~

FIrst to Reap Wnr Profits.

The Bethlehem Steel Corporation was
the first industrial in the
United States To reap profits from war
orders. In November, 1914. Mr.. Schwab
made a trip to England and before long
II was reported that he had returned
with orders for artillery and shells
amounting to millions Of dollars Early
In 1915 he made another trip abroad
and witnessed the sinking of the Auda-
eious. He again secured great war or
ders. The rumors Of his success in get
tang these contracts soon had their ef-
feet. Bethlehem Steel common leaned
into prominence AZ the first war bride
Of the stock market. From a9i.. the
low in 1914, tho stock advanced by
sensational leaps 20 500 in October. 1915.
In 1913 the stock was quoted at %,
while the high OF that year was H..
In 1907 IL sold as low as 8.
h company was incorporated in 1904
and for several years there were no sur
plus earnings out Of which a dividend
on the common stock might have been
paid. In 1910. however, the company
earned 6.45 per cent. on the common
and from that time on the company gave
repeated evidences of its great earning
powers. In 1919 II earned PAS per
cent. on the SIS. 900. 900 common stock.
and in 1914 this was increased to 1853
per cent. While these earnings were
being made Mr.. Schwab, in spite Of all
the pressure brought to bear on him,
stcadfastly refused even to discuss divi-
dends on the common stock. He main
tanned that every cent possible in excess
81 the amount necessary for the pre-
fcrrcd stock dividends should be nut
back into the property to increase its
earning power. The company has en-
tcilsive ore properties in Chile and Mr..
Schwab has been iuSistent that the de-
vclopment of these properties he com
pletcd before the declaring of dividends
on the common stock. Last year more

NEW DISEASE IS ANNOUNCED
Comes "Angna Of Effort"
Pain.

The rush of modern life has pro
duced a new disease, greatly increasing
in extent and especially prevalent
among doctors, teachers, clergymen
lawyers and other men Of affairs, OBJ
serves the Philadelphia Bulletin.
DR.. Oliver S. Haines, who announced
the new ailment calls it angina OF
effort" In plain English that means
Il sudden shooting pain under your
breastbone because you're working too
hard.
If, at the age of 80, you find your
self unable to walk a city block with
out pain, you probably have "angina
of effort" 1t comes from having lived
too hard and sometimes from an ian
tagonistic attitude toward the prob.
lens Of life"
No happy-go-lucky ever gets it
Those who have been obsessed by love
Of power, love of struggle, or who
harbor exaggerated ideas of thei
rights and privileges usually do.
Everybody who gets "angina of effort
dies a sudden death, usually ascribeo
to gastritis, according to DR.. Haines
Deadly, corked up venom, brought
on by mental conflict with the prevail
ing ideas, becomes a toxin, he says
which gives rise to a pain that radi
ates into every part of the body. Neu'
ralgia, rheumatism and similar aches
may be symptoms of it.
You can best be cured by slowing
down, Dr. Haines thinks, and by modi.
flying the war spirit which, he says,
you carry into every day life. If you
don't slow down, you're doomed
For certain temperaments DR..
Haines announced more specific rene.
dies. The victim of "Old Man Con.
science" who worries over unimport-
ant details, and cannot sleep at night
because Of the passionate and harsh
way he has treated his family during
the day. ought to be given a potash
preparation.
For the emotional idealist who dis
solves readily into tears-"at the NOV
les, for instance, or the theater," DR..
Haines said-treatmentb by oxalic acid
is the cure. The prey of suicidal de
sires is about hopeless in DR.. Haines
estimation but he recommends aurum
for TRIAL
