system that appears to have been de-
signed purely to give as many small
jobs as possible to political lieuten-
ants whom district leaders desired to
keep in good humor. II it ever had
any excuse for existence that time
has long since passed.
When Senator Beidleman introduced
the measure last session it was state
wide in its effect and had the support
of a large number of senators, who
dropped it like a hot potato when
they began to hear from the politi-
clans back home, who saw many small
jobs disappearing through it's enact
ment and did not want to lose that
patronage. 1t got into committee and
never came out. With this knowledge,
the Dauphin county Senator has franz
ed the measure so adroitly this time
that much of the opposition will be
defeated. The class of counties it
takes in embraces only one or two 9TH
ers outside of Dauphin. Therefore, the
timid members of the Legislature who
feared to trihe with appointments
back home will have no excuse to
vote against it this time.
To be sure, Senator Beidleman is
the acknowledged leader of the Re-
publican organization in this county
and, therefore, might be expected to
take the same view of the receivership
of taxes measures that some of the
other Senators who helped smother
it last session did. But the Senator
believes that successful leadership can
be maintained only through the in
strumentality of good government and
he is convinced that the abolition of
the tax collector system will work for
the best interests of the people as a
whole. Therefore, he is against the
present method, although its aboli-
ton will cut down the number of po-
litical jobs in Dauphin county. and he
has come out in favor of the receiver
ship bill.
This is in full accord with Senator
Beidleman's course in other matters
of the kind. The home rule for cities
resolution is an example of the type
of legislation for which he has stood
sponsor. Dauphin county has been
we'll and economically governed since
Senator Beidleman's rise to influence
In the counsels of the Republican par
ty in this senatorial district. There
has not been a single complaint of
| extravaganza or incompetency in
county affairs since the memorable
campaign of 1912, save with respect
to the frightful state of affairs at the
county almshouse revealed when the
present poor board went into office,
and for those conditions the ousted
Democratic directors were entirely re-
sponsible. Men above reproach have
been elected, who have conducted the
offices of the county on a high plane
of efficiency, with no dictation from
the outside.
1t is this kind of leadership that is
typifed in the present Republican or
ganization in Dauphin county. -he
receivership of taxes bill is designed
to further improve administration of
county affairs. 1t is in line with what
has gone before. 1t should be passed.

WAR ABOIIsHEs THE
KNIGHTS OF THE ROAD

Say what we will about the war, il
has done one thing for the United
States that nothing less strenuous, not
even prosecution could accomplish; it
has abolished hoboes, says William L.
Morrissey, deputy state labor commits
sioner. He adds that it is not merely
his opinion, but fact, attested by
other labor commissioners with whom
be has eorresponded and his own OBJ.
servation.
Mr.. Morrissey has returned from an
eastern trip and says he saw less than
three men in the several thousand
miles he Travelled who had any of the
airs of a tramp. Before the war va
grants of all kinds were to be seen
everywhere and the reports of his Of
flee bear out, his statement of the diff
ference.
The primary cause of the passing of
the American tramp, who numbered
more than 100000 before the war, nc
cording to Mr.. Morrissey and other au-
thorities, is the wan

ing into khaki, with another million
arranging their affairs to do the same
thing; and most Of all, with industry
as it never was before, the opportuni-
ties for well-paid work and good treat.
ment by employers are so numerous
thst much of the old incentive to work
is gone. ~
Furthermore, many men have decided
that eventually they would either have
to grab pick or musket and chose
the former as matter of personal
safety. In addition to that, many Of
the states, notably West Virginia, have
passed compulsory labor laws. Those
laws provide that everybody must work
at something, not only the poor but The
rich. In West Virginia the idle rich
and the idle poor must get busy, at
least for the duration of the war.
Another factor credited with reduc-
ing the number of hoboes is the /. W.
W. Not that the I. W. Ws. are to be
credited with anything good, for ac-
cording to Mr.. Morrissey, labor union
men are not in sympathy with them
any more than the remainder Of the
public. But a lot Of tramps have been
forced by the war to one or two

Ws. where they agitate against work.
There is no neutrally idle class. Either
the men who formerly loafed are for
the government and show it by work
ing or they are avowedly against it
and show is by joining such organiza-
tions as the /. W. w.
Never was there such great de-
mand for workers as today, according
to the state labor official. Other states
are writing to Colorado daily for help.
And they state that they simply have
not the men. 1t is not due to men re-
fusing to work. Yesterday Mr.. Nor
rissey received letter from the county
officials of Goshen county, Wyoming
asking his assistance in obtaining 200
men to harvest beets and potatoes. It
is reported that the convicts in the
Wyoming penitentiary will be released
under guard long enough to help in the
harvest.
A call came to the statehouse yester-
day from Canon City for 100 to $50
women to work in canning factory
The wages will be $l.60 day for eight
hours work or 81 to $3.50 day for
piece work. Work is assured until
Christmas. Twenty-Five men are also
wanted there.
Colorado will have to hustle to fur
nish workers enough for her own har
vest and other industries according TO
Mr.. Morrissey, and will not be able to
help other states much.
