TWO GOOD BILLS

A BILL has recently been intro
IA duced in the State Legislature
which was prepared by the State
Affairs committee of the Scranton
Board OF Trade, providing for single
collector of taxes in the second and
third class cities and the boroughs and
incorporated townships of the Com
monwealth. The purpose is to do
away with the multitude of receivers
of taxes. thus making the payment of
taxes more convenient for the tax
payer, and. at the same time, reducing
the cost of this branch of the public
service. There is a general unanimity
of opinion that this is a greatly desired
reform in the tag collecting methods,
and while Harrisburg has worked out
the problem in a comparatively salts
factory way, there is no reason why
local legislators should not vote for
the measure.
In this class of legislation, also. is
the Beidleman county receiver of taxes
bill, which also should be reported out
promptly and passed.

Zionists and America

(From the Maccabean, official mag
azine of the Federation of American
Zionists.)
The Jews of America share the in
terests of the American people, of
whom they are an integral part. Our
love and loyalty go out to America
not only because it has been q haven
of refuge for our oppressed people,
but because we have derived inspira- :
ton and strength from the ideals and
enthusiasms that are Americas con-
tribution to modern civilization. The
democratic education we have receiv-
ed here has strengthened our own
movement for self-emancipation, for
we have felt that American ideals
gave their sanction to the efforts of
any people to secure itself against
the future by making such sacrifices
to-day as would render that future
worthy. The Zionist movement runs
parallel with the idealism of this land
and is in fact a natural growth and
the normal consequence of thinking in
terms of democratic American ideal
ism. In this land we have the oppor-
tunity for the first time in our history
to realize our national hopes, living
in a friendly environment IL is a
source of Jewish qualification to find
ourselves in perfect accord with the
ideals and the interests of the Ameri-
can people. We shall be among the
first to come forward prepared to
make our personal sacrifices for
American national interests should the
efforts of the President to avert war
be unsuccessful, just as we have done
in the past in moments of national
crises.

Not Used to LUXURY

(FTom the New York World.)
1t was much against his will that
Wiggie went along when John ID.
Rockefeller Jr., and his family NOV
ed into the senior Johns one million
dollar house on Kyk-Uit Hill, Pecan
tico Hills, Tarrytown, recently. Wig
gle is a small, black Scotch terrier,
pet of the oil mans grandchildren.
Wiggie is fond of home life, but does
not go in much for great houses, in
consequence of which the new home
proved a lonesome one.
He SHE'D at the Temple of Love,
with its Aphrodite; looked askance at
the Rainbow Pool, and strayed far
from the Sunken Gardens. There was
no charm for him outdoors, and when
he went into the house he would get
lost-straying from room to room.
The climax came when the massive
organ in the music room began to
peal out music. Wiggie stood it as long
as he could, made a succession of
yelps which sounded like the name of
the hill on which the house is situat-
ed, and darted out through the kitch-
en- door. Then. he strayed out into
Tarrytown, where he took up home
life with young Raymond Page.
The Rockefeller children bemoaned
the loss of Wiggie, so their father Of
fered a reward of $40 and the dog was
returned. At the Rockefeller home no
one would saN.whether music would
be tried on the dog again.

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF

HISTORY appears to be repeating
in Russia. The Car and his
consort are in prison, the revo-
lutionary government is in complete
control, despite occasional rumors via
Berlin to the contrary. and plans for
the prosecution of the war appear to
be we'll in hand.
This somewhat corresponds to the
situation in which France found her
self at the close the eighteenth GEN.
tury, when the nation, in the face of
an invading foe, overthrow the king,
put him TO death and then turned
about and, under the direction of the
famous Carnot, so reorganized the
more or less demoralized military that
the army came through the trial
triumphant and France was saved
both, from foreign aggression and
royal oppression.
All that Russia needs is a Carnot
and such a Committee of Safety as he
had at his elbow, and there are indi-
cations that it is not lacking in either.

THE LABOR DEPARTMENT

IT is to be hoped that the Appro-
priations Committees will not
have to cut as deeply into the
budget of the State Department of
Labor and Industry as reports from
Capitol Hill might indicate. This
branch of the State government is OF
vast and growing importance. It's in
fiuence for good is only to be under
stood after careful and painstaking
study of all that it has done in the
past year or two, account of which
has not appeared extensively in print,
and much of it of a nature that pre-
cludes the. possibility of setting it
forth in the annual reports of Com
missioner Jackson or his assistants.
In the mediation of labor troubles
alone it has saved the people of the
Commonwealth many hundreds of
thousands of dollars in wages and de-
lay and vexation in business. It is
easy to set forth the number of strikes
that the States mediators have set
tied. but it is impossible to outline
in a public way the number of labor
disputes that have been brought to q
conclusion before they reached an
acute stage, and this has been one of
the most important phases of the
departments work.
Another immensely useful service
the department is performing is
through the instrumentality of its
Bureau of Employment. 1t has been
said that the bureaus ac-
tivities are limited by reason
of the fact that labor is well
employed at this time and, therefore
for the present no increase of appro-
priation is necessary in this direction.
This is not a proper conclusion. The
Bureau of Employment works both
ways. It not only finds a job for the
iobleas man. but it locates a man for

as if health were being poured into

And Sundays, after church, I take
a book and lie down in the midst of
my flowers, and look at the marvel of
their coloring, and wonder how it is
that out of the little black seeds

nicipal League is receiving from noted
architects and others qualified to

in his selection on that score. Those
who favor a local architect will have

the manless job. In this way 1t serves
both employer and employe, both cap

when labor will need the bureau and

the success of the bureau in finding

of these seekers is ample proof that
even now, with prosperity at flood

These are only two of the very
many lines of activity in which COM

their uses in the industrial life of to-

A Bad War For PROPHETS

Prophesying about the Great War
for a newspaper has been hectic enough
to call into play all the mental agility
usually granted to mortals. Prophecy
ing for a magazine has been even
worse. AS, for instance, the Slavic
expert of the redoubtable Nineteenth
Century" has this to say in the cur
rent March number of the political
situation in Russia:
But there is little talk of revolu-
ton, no real fear exists of such an up
heaval as that which occurred in 1906
during the so-Japanese war. .
The Progressive or Liberal element,
by far the biggest factor in Russian
politics, sharply associates itself from
all thought of a revolution. . .
What we must bear in mind is that
the Progressive movement in Russia is
national in spirit, constitutional in its
aims, and Enthusiastically loyal to the
Gar"
Not even the German prophets who
fixed the day, hour and minute when
Verdun was to fall went further
astray. The only other English proph-
ecy worth putting with it is that of
Winston Churchill. who saw the CALI
poll fight as good as won just when it
was hopeless failure. The one sue
cessful prophecy by a public officer
of any country still stands to the
credit of X. of K. His "three-year
war" came at time when such a pro-
longed fight seemed preposterously
gloomy. 1t was q sound guess and a
bold one to utter, and sorely needed
by his nation. Now that his minimum
period is nearing completion, the
other prophets of the war, major and
minor, may we'll take off their hats to
the memory of the one prophet who
made colossal, affirmative predic-
ton, in the teeth of popular opinion.

NEW THIRD-CLAss CITY BILL

CENATOR BEIDLEMAN'S new
y third-class city bill. which would
place the government of Harris
hands of an unpaid council of one
member from each ward, repeal the
present nonpartisan clause and restore
the veto power to the mayor. is an
interesting piece of legislation, both
from the manner in which the subject
is treated and from the fact that it is,
in addition, most complete codi-
fication of all laws relating to munici-
palities of the third class in Pennsyl-
vania. If it does nothing more it will
provide adequate charter-malling ma
terial when the Beidleman home rule
constitutional amendment is finally
approved.
Whether the people are prepared to
return to the old type of ward repre-
sentation in Council is a question, but
in any case Senator Beidleman's bill
is ",Tr..::a'..Ic.',.r the result of popular
dissatisfaction with the Clark act and
desire for change on the part of a
large majority of the taxpayers.
Undoubtedly, as the Senator has
said, the salary system for councilmen
has resulted in a disgraceful scramble
for Office on the part of those who
have in view nothing more than the
money they hope to get. The result
has been inefffciency in government
and a gradual letting down of public
interest in municipal affairs. Perhaps
the very worst feature of the Clark
act is that the commissioners are a
law unto themselves; that they are
both legislative and an administering
body, with nobody to say them nay.
There has been log-rolling and des-
perate efforts to please this or that
class of voters at the expense of the
city as a whole. The laws nonparti-
san clause has resulted in a condition
where politics play a larger part in
city government than ever. There has
never been a moment since the enact
ment of the Clark law when either
Republicans or Democrats forgot
party affiliation in the selection of
councilmen. Party nominations GER
tainly could be no worse than this
nonpartisan failure and under proper
conditions might result in improve
ment.
The inference to be drawn from the
provisions of the Beidleman bill is that
under its =. 1tisrLs the city depart
ments would be run by superintend-
ents selected by Council on the ground
of their fitness for the work. This
newspaper has observed the operations
of the city managership elsewhere. 1t
has worked we'll. 1t ought to be given
a trial here. Whether or not this
would be possible under the provisions
of the Beidleman measure is not clear.
but there appears to be no clause that
would forbid the hiring of a manager,
if Council were so inclined.
There are many features of the bill
worthy of consideration and it shows
much thought and careful preparation.
1t is gratifying to those in Harrisburg
who supported him to note the in
terest Senator Beidleman is displaying
in the important affairs of the city
and that all his efforts have been in
the direction of improving conditions.
