NEWS OF LEGISLATURE
|TEMPLETON NEW
GROUNDS CHIEF
Luzerne Man Appointed SUI
perintendent; Man of Many
Lines of Activity

Former Congressman Thomas w.
Templeton, of Plymouth, buZerne
county, is the new State Superin-
tendent of Grounds and Buildings.
His nomination was sent to the Sem
ate last evening by Governor Sproul,
who has been a close friend of the
appointee since the days of the fa-
nous Elkin fight when both fought
side by side in the camp of the
Indiana plowboy." He was con-
frmed.
For years Mr.. Templeton has been
active in the politics of LuZerne and
adjoining counties. His acquaint-
ance, however. extends to every one
of the sixty-seven counties, for ev-
cry campaign the past ten years
has found the Plymouth man tour
ing the State in the interest of the
Republican State Committee as a
"sounder of sentiment" In this
work he is an adept and said to
have no equal.
Those who know Mr.. Templeton
intimately claim he is peculiarly
qualified for the duties of Super
intendent of Grounds of Buildings.
After graduating in the Wyoming
Seminary he learned the carpenter
trade and at once built dozen
houses. And, outside of the masonry
work, he did it all himself, that is
he drove every nail from the cellars
to the roofs. Then he studied law
and was admitted to practice in Lu-
zerne county. But law had little at
traction for Mr.. Templeton. He en-
gagged in mercantile enterprises and
eventually found the line that he
liked the best-as a grower of flow
ers. Always a lover of nature, Mr..
Templeton is more at home among
flowers than anywhere else. He is
manager and part owner of the
largest nurseries in Pennsylvania
the Penn Floral Company of Dor
ranceton, Luzerne county-his part
ners being p. F. Joyce, of Pittston,
and w. P. Gallagher, chief clerk of
the Senate.
Some years ago Mr.. Templeton
was elected prothonotaryl of his
county. but declined a renomina-
ton. Then in 1916 when the Re-
publicans OF Luzerne wanted a man
to take the measure of Congressman
John J. Casey, who was then serv-
ing his second term at Washing
ton and who by reason of his labor
union connections looked unbeat-
able in a coal mining community.
they induced Mr.. Templeton to jump
into the battle. He did so and after
trimming the Brumbaugh faction in
LuHeTne county lot the nomination,
defeated Casey by upwards of s.
900 majority. The Republican Con-
gressional Committee declared the
election of Mr.. Templeton the most
noteworthy political happening in
any district in the United States. Mr.
Templeton was offered n renomina-
ton on a silver platter, but he re-
fused to run again and decided to
devote all his political activity last
year to the success of Sproul and
Beidleman.
Mr.. Templeton is a member of the
Republican State Committee and a
loyal follower of Senator Penrose.
He had the backing of the States
senior Senator, State Chairman
Crow, Lieutenant Governor Beidle-
man and many others active in Re-
publican ranks.
The new superintendent of
Grounds and Buildings is fifty years
old and unmarried. Under the bill

experience has taught generally re-
suit from a monopoly in the supply
of a particular commodity to the
public. Competition may be, and is
very desirable in many lines of busi-
ness; there are, however, a num-
ber of quasi-public enterprises
which may be classified as natural
monopolies in case the duplication
of facilities merely results in the
placing of an additional burden
upon the public by forcing persons
to maintain two systems where one
would serve the purpose as effectu-
ally and at less cost. In this class
may be placed the furnishing of gas,
water, electricity and telephone
ment that competition between rival
facilities serves to reduce the price
TO the consumer is not sustainable
logically. The duplication of water
systems, for instance, means the
expenditure of a large amount of
money in the construction of reser-
voirs, laying of pipes, ETC., in turn
involving duplication of inconveni-
ence to the public in tearing up
streets and making excavations
without proportionate benefit. The
duplication of telephone systems in
a given locality without connection
between their lines requires sub
scribers to install both systems and
pay double service to reach sub
scribers on but one of the two sys-
TENS. Or, as frequently happens.
subscribers maintain both systems
when they can reach other users
with equal facility on either sys-
tenn. 1t is useless to argue that the
cost of construction of such dupli-
cate systems is paid by investors,
and the risk of financial failure is
theirs, owing to the burden of finally
paying the carrying charges, and
income to the investors is imposed
Upon the public with the result that
Il higher charge on the part of each
competing company becomes neces-
sary, due to the division of the pa
tronage of the public. This is es-
pecially true in the smaller cities
and country districts where the
public to be served is limited in
numbers. To hold, therefore, that

ADMINISTRATION
WINS IT'S FIGHT
Compensation Changes Made
Along Lines of the Attorney
Generals Bill

The State administration won its
fight for an increased rate of work
mems compensation and a series of
other changes in the State work
mems compensation law beneficial
to the workers of the industries of
Pennsylvania last night when the
Smith bill amending the code of
1915 was passed in the House with
out opposition in practically the
same shape as when introduced by
the Dauphin Senator at the request
of Attorney General William I.
Schaffer. The bill now goes to the
Governors desk. With it will go
the bill establishing a bureau of re-
habilitation for industrial workers
which is to be administered under
direction of the Commissioner of
Labor and Industry. The self-in-
surers tax has been abandoned.
The opposition to the compensa-
ton amendments disappeared sew
eral days ago and the bill passed
finally in the House, 159 to 0. 1t was
the subject of several hearings in
the Senate in which the administra-
tion plan was severely criticised and
the administration won out. When
the bill reached the House the basis
of computation worked out by the
Attorney General was eliminated in
the ways and means committee and
one favored by employers substitut-
ed. The House last night took out
the employers provisions and REIN
serted the Attorney Generals plan.
This was through the influence of
the Governor, opposition disappear
ing.
Under the provisions of the
changes the rate of compensation is
fixed at sixty per cent, more fa-
vorable basis of computation estab-
lished, the waiting period cut to ten
days, $1,000 more added to total
disability cases and other changes
made.
The objections of the committee
of doctors that the bill did not con-
tain a maximum charge of 500 for
operations, exclusive of treatment,
were overcome by an agreement
that a ruling would be made by the
Compensation Board to that effect
This did away with necessity of re-
calling the bill.

THE MEXICAN PROBLEM.

The rebel firing into FL PaSo,
this week neceSSitated the cross
ing Of the border by American
infantry. artillery and cavalry.
is unfortunately not an isolated
incident. but a new revelation Of
a chronic condition in the affairs
of Mexico.
The killing and wounding Of
peaceful residents on the Ameli-
can side of the border in the
course Of the fighting between
Villa and Angeles on the one
hand. and the Carlanza govern
ment on the other, is a fresh re-
hinder of what may continue to
happen at any time so long as
Mexico continues to he mlSgov-
eined by rival factions instead Of
being governed by a strong ma
tional administration.
Under the circumstances. il is
difficult to conceive Of any other
course that could have been
adopted ~ the American COM
mandel at Fl Pa>o than the one
which he did adopt.
Brighten. James G.. Erwin
was confronted with the choice
OF permitting the Mexican rebels
to continue shooting over the
border or crossing the Rio
Grande and demonstrating the
inviolability OF American soil.
As the former line Of conduct
was utterly incompatible with
the power and the dignity of the
United States, the raid across
the border was the only prac-
ticable alternative.
Gen. Erwin explicitly points
out in his statement given out
that the present operation, in
which $500 American soldiers
we're mutually employed. must

va,ion Of Mexico.
It inevitably means. however,
that so long as the danger Of a
repetition Of the firing by the
Nillistas upon American citizens

line persists. so long will il be
neces sary for American forces
to operate on the Mexican side
of the river to keep the rebels

In urging the necessity for a

the spread of BolsheviSm in
America, the lnter-Racial Coun-
Gil submits the survey of an un-
named town with a population Of
$1,000 in New Hampshire, MADE
by its agents on the spot.
This town. the council report
points out. is made up of 10000
French people. 1000 SwedeS.
800 Russians. a few hundred
Poles and Italians and 100 Amer
leans. OF the 800 Russians, only
one is a citizen and only two OF
the remainder have declared
their intention to become Citi-
Zens. 1t is worthy of note, also,
that only seven of the Russians
have shown any desire to avail
themselves of the facilities offer
ed by the Y. NJ. c. a. and the
town night schools to learn the
English language
In this town. especially among
the Russians. doctrines similar
to BolSheviSm are making great
Roadway. The council cites this
community in New Hampshire
as an illustration of conditions
in many other localities. and

5000.
