STATE BUDGET
SYSTEM GAINING
MANY FRIENDS
Constitutional Com m ssion
May Find For Complete Re-
vision of Basic Law

Belief that the State Constitu-
tional Revision Commission will
ultimately find for the complete
revision" which it is authorized to
do under the act creating the body
has been strengthened by the num-
Der of amendments reported from
committee, in the neighborhood of
Two score having appeared, ana the
question now is whether the legis-
iature can not find a way whereby it
may submit n new constitution to
the voters of Pennsylvania without
necessity of a convention. There
are some here who hold to the
opinion that the next legislature can
make the present commission a
constitutional convention by act and
provide that it's findings shall be
submitted to the people.
If this position is correct and it
is being seriously considered the
people would be able to vote on a
new constitution next fall. The
point has been made here that the
legislature has broader powers in
regard to revision than realized and
that the election of delegates is n
precedent. The whole drift of the
business of the commission has been
toward wholesale amendment and
unless there is a rejection of many
or the suggested amendments In the
committee of the whole the COM
mission will be confronted with
what will be in effect a revision.
Men active in the Commission are
giving considerable thought to the
proposition of a budget for the
state government, which is said to
have countenance in administration
circles. The committee amending
legislative matters reported in favor
or Jumping appropriation bills,
which may be an opening wedge to
a discussion of the subject. The
budget system has some adherents
in the Commission and in due time
it is probable that there will be
some people on the outside who Will
desire to be heard. How far the
state administration will go in this
subject Is a amatter of conjecture.
A fight Is looming up over the
charitable appropriation clause
which forbids any appropriation to
establishments where sectarian in
struction is given and it is said that
the members from Philadelphia are
not unit in regard to consolidation
fthe courts of that city as was
done in the Allegheny county courts
some years ago.
When the committee on cities and
charters resumes its sessions it will
have before it number of reports
on the manner in which munich
palities of the state are taking care
of their debt.
The first debates will take place
next Wednesday afternoon when
the proposed changes to the exc
cutive and legislative articles are
scheduled to be taken up.

Rapid Depletion of
Reserve Stocks Alarms
Central Coal Committee
BIZ Associated Press

Washington, Dec. 12.-The gem
eral fuel situation and restrictions
on the use of soft coal were under
review to-day by the central coal
committee to determine. whether
more drastic measures to conserve
coal were necessary. Consumption
has been so much greater than pro-
duction that officials here are alarm
ed at the rapid depletion of reserve
stocks.
No substantial increase in the
amount of coal mined is expected
before Monday.
Railroad administration figures
show that on December 10, the last
day for which complete reports have
been made. there were moved 49,
762 cars of coal, as compared with
the daily average of 3S,S22 cars in
the banner week of October. Of
ficials said return to maximum pro-
duction was imperative if disaster
was not to result.

FnvOrably Impressed
Harrisburg's officials are most
favorably impressed with the Allen
station question and It is believed
that out of their studies will come
ton Of the long discussed HARRIS
burg situation. City Commissioner
Lynch has in his offices a copy of the
blue, print plans for the Allentown
tical arrangement. 1t provides in
brief for two entrances from the
sidewalk similar to the entrances to
any subway IN New York: for Philadei, oS,en
and one for men, the underground
rooms being absolutely separate and
private. 1t is obviously the most
that ttp'e could be devised.
Whether the public comfort station
in Harrisburg shall be located along
the sidewalk in Market Square. in
House or elsewhere. the Allentown
plan proves beyond any question that
the Underground arrangement will
meet all the requirements at less cost
and without public offense.

UNREST CURE
In Article Declares Fuller
knowledge of American
Institutions" Needed
By Associated Press

New York, Dec. 12.-The cure for
social unrest in this country is a
fuller knowledge of American in
stitutions" declared President Will
sonS-i in an article written for the
current number of The Indepen-
dent
Men to-day are blessed with a
new curiosity about their govern
ments," says the President. Every
where they are demanding that the
doors behind which secret policies
have been incubated be thrown open
and kept open henceforth. The
doors that do not respond to the
keys the people hold will be bat
tered down and free passageways
erected in their stead.
Live by Understanding
"Autocratic governments of the
past have lived by concealment; free
governments must live by under
standing. In the new day that is
dawning only those governments
that have no secrets from their peo-
Piles can long. endure. 1 do not say
that such government will make
no mistakes, but / do say mistakes
will be fewer and more easily cor
rected when all governments are
guided by well-informed public opin-
ion.
Throughout World
Unrest is evident everywhere
throughout the world. 1t is not of
itself a disease, but n symptom of
disease. In our own country the
disease Ss principally outside the
government. Those who think other
wise are mostly the newcomers and
the men they have influenced. The
cure for their disquiet is a fuller
knowledge of American institutions.
In this nation the people have in
their ballots the instruments of
peaceful change.
I'VE can know il change is desir-
able only by knowing all the facts
about the things we wish to alter.
The journals that give the facts
about government, it's policies and
activities, set down by the men prin-
cipally responsible for them, will
perform a public service. They will
afford a medium through which the
government can report continuously
to the people"

COPPER COMPANIES ADD ID FUNDS FOR BIC ENTERTAINMENT
Especial to Copper Era)


 New York, April 25.-The copper companies of Arizona and New Mexico have added generously to the funds placed at the disposal of the Rocky Mountain Club of New York City for the entertainment of the 158th Infantry and Friday, April 25th, will be day long remembered by this crack regiment /, from the southwest.
 The 18th is now under the com mand of Col. Sa1tmarsh, Brigadier General A. M. Tuthill having preced- ed the regiment to the United States.
 Under the auspices of the Rocky Mountain Club a special train was run from Camp Merritt to New York City and return, and upon reaching the city the entertainment took the form of sightseeing trip of New York followed by an elab- crate dinner at the Hotel McAlpin and theatre party at the Hippo drome.
 The 15Sth Regimental band play ed for the Victory Loan demonstra- ton and the subscriptions received from the Arizona boys in the regi- ment was more than all the other states combined as was the case the DclOTS Wuen LIlS IOChy tain Club entertained the 143rd and 144th Machine Gun Batallions, the 10th Military Police and the 18th Supply Train in similar manner.
 The funds for both entertainments was furnished by the Inspiration, Copper Queen, Ray, Chino, Calumet & Arizona, United Verde, United Verde Extension, New Cornelia, Magma and Miami copper companies. The 158th left Camp Merritt to- day at 2;15 p. m. for Ft. Bliss. They will arrive at St. Louis over the Bal timore & Ohio on the 27th inst. at 2:30 p. m. The regiment will leave St. Louis via the Missouri Pacific to Texarkana and should arrive at Ell Paso on the 18th at p. m. over the Texas & Pacific.
 Col. Saltmarsh and his command are proud of Arizona and New Mex ico for their state action and say words cannot express their feelings upon the welcome accorded them by the Rocky Mountain Club.
 The welcome home committee fol Arizona and New Mexico is Col. W B. Thompson, chairman; Sherwood Aldrich, J. H. Anderson, P. G. Beck. cit, D. c. Jacklin, c. F. Kelly, Sam Lewisohn, Coleman DuPont ano Lewis B. Wicher./
