M'CAIG READY TO
COMMENCE WORK
The Appropriation A Chairman
Names Albert B. Smith as
Secretary For Session

I'VE are getting ready to start
business right away and to push
things right along. We will take
up the deficiency bill tomorrow and
intend to have some interviews
with the heads of departments who
are asking for appropriations and
we will do our best to get the bill
started out early and complete"
said Chairman William ]. McCraig,
of the House appropriation commit
tee.
Mr.. McCraig said that Albert B.
Smith, of Steelton, secretary of the
committee for several sessions,
would be secretary again. HE is a
very valuable man." said he.
Bills for the reorganization of the
State Department of Banking to
make the department self-sustaining
and to not only enlarge the author
ity of the commissioner. but to give
him a salary commensurate with the
Importance of the department and
an adequate force; providing for the
sale of bread by weight and for
SSiiAO NlAelhSCS III lilS OIL
Agriculture urged by agricultural
interests, are due to be presented in
the Legislature this week. 1t is
probable that the bread bill, which
received considerable attention last
session, together with the proposed
measures to provide for all sales OF
commodities by weight instead OF
measure or count will be discussed
with Governor William G.. Sproul.
They have been urged by the states
inspectors of weights and measures
The banking bills will come from
the State Commission to codify the
banking laws.
The next gour weeks are expected
to be largely taken up by the in
PRODUCTION of bills, upon which
state experts and lawyers are work
ing. Dozens have been sent to the
Attorney Generals office to be ex-
amined as to legal form.
A proposition affecting the priv
lleges of the members of the House
is likely to arise because of the fact
that some members, notably r. A.
Ringler, of Reading, have railroad
positions which they have had to
give up during their legislative serv-
ice. In the present state of mind of
the legislators because of the fed
eral handling of railroads and wires
something may be heard.

some sections of whom would be men
specially qualified such as foresters.
In addition the State Police depart
ment could be made of service to. the
counties, especially the smaller ones
by keeping records of criminals and
providing Information which could
be of service when man goes from
one section of the State to another
1t has been pointed out that there is
really little police authority except
the police of large borough or city,
some county detectives and the State
Police. Very few counties have any
thing like the records that police of
a city keep.
Under the police plan it would be
possible. it is pointed out by advo-
Gates OF the consolidation for the
whole of the revenue from hunters
licenses to be employed for game
preservation and propagation and
bounties after deducting administra-
tive expenses. This would enable
the speedy establishment of more
game preserves and the undertaking
of stocking of these places with
game on a very extensive scale.
Pennsylvania would have probably
more money available for such work
than any other State.

Among legislators there seems to
be little doubt but that it will be

ratification will be reported favor

the measure be made the special

talk of the liquorites abandoning the
fight on the measure.

liquor license bill may be passed
without much opposition from the

FORESTRY NEED
NOW OUTLINED
State Losing Valuable Returns
From Lands; School
Officials Criticised

Pennsylvania is declared to be
using valuable returns from it's for
est lands and not to be providing the
protection, needed for its woods under
State ownership, while school author
tiles are bluntly stated to be doing
nothing to help along one of the
sources of revenue OF the State
School Fund by I. c. Williams, deputy
commissioner of forestry and one OF
the students of wood and water con-
ditions in the State.
Gould all dead, dying and blighted
chestnut now upon the State forests
be marketed speedily from this
source alone could be returned a net
return of about $500, ,OOO," declared
Mr.. Williams, in statement pre-
pared for the state Board of Agricul-
ture. He charges that while the
State forests have yielded S172,O9966
for the States permanent school fund
and are getting to the point where
they turn in about $4,000 moNthly,
THE school people are doing little
or nothing to help the cause of for
estry." He says they take our money
and seem glad to get it. but give lit
tie help and no encouragement in re-
turn"
The statement says that the State
forests aggregate 1,OS2,23S acres in
fifty-three forests located in, twenty
seven counties. They represent an
investment of s2.S50.OSS or S2,27 per
acre. In 1918 13,459 acres were added
by purchase and 5000 acres bought
in jefferson county for the Ohio
Watershed reserves which will be
an object of Importance the next few
years.
These forests are bound to become
a storehouse of wealth for Pennsyl-
vania. What they need is protection
and development and when both
have been fully attained. the returns
from the State forests will speak
for themselves. Forest planting has
outstripped protection. The means
for protection have never been furn-
ished as needed"
