Honorable John K. Tener, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg, Pa. * My Dear Sir: — The Economy and Efficiency Commission of the Commonwealth of Penn- sylvania respectfully transmits herewith its report made pursuant to the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly entitled : "A Joint Resolution authorizing the appointment and prescribing the duties of a commission to investigate and report on the number, character of duties, and com- pensation of persons in the employ of the State Government ; directing the co-operation of the various State Departments, boards, bureaus and commissions ; and making an appropriation," approved the 25th day of July, A. D. 1913 ; also appendix showing the name of each employe of the State Government, the title of his or her position, duties performed and compensation received. We have the honor to be, with great respect, Very truly yours, The Economy and Efficiency Commission of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. HARRY S. McDEVITT, Chairman. (I) (2) REPORT The "Economy and Efficiency" Commission commenced its labors with the full knowledge that the task assigned it was stupendous, and early adopted a policy to regulate its investigations, deliberations and conclusions. That is to say, it studied the problems confronting it with the' idea that economy was to prevent waste, eliminate duplication of work and prevent conflict of authority if found to exist. The Commission realized that the inauguration of a system of economy at the expense of efficiency would result in the accomplishment of neither. In order to obtain information and data necessary to enable the Commission to understand in a comprehensive way the responsibilities, duties and internal organization of the various De- partments, Boards and Commissions coming under its jurisdiction it inquired especially into the following subjects : 1. The Acts of Assembly creating and relating to the various Departments, also rules and regulations pertaining to or relating to the same. 2. The name, compensation received and duties actually performed by each employe, and the necessity for such employment. 3. Whether or not the position was created by statute, or was a temporary employment made by appropriation from session to session, or paid out of the fund commonly known as the Contingent Fund. 4. Obsolete Departments, Boards and Commissions. 5. Duplication of work and conflict of authority. 6. Methods of centralization and improvement. It is universally understood in the business world that to command ability, thereby bring- ing into business enterprises efficiency, it is necessary to provide compensation commensurate with the responsibilities and duties imposed. This principle, however, is not to any great extent found in the administration of state governments. Well regulated business enterprises in order to prevent waste and duplication of labor undergo a process of reorganization at least every decade, eliminating unnecessary divisions and departments and centralizing and consolidating others. Such a system is just as important, if not doubly important, in the administration of the affairs of a Commonwealth, the necessity for which is emphasized because of the establishment by the General Assembly from time to time of new Departments, Boards and Commissions. With this thought in mind the Commission has recommended the consolidation of certain branches of the State Government, the elimination of others and the creation of new Departments with a view of putting State affairs on a sound businesslike basis ; and it is believed that a study of its report which follows will prove its conclusion^ and recommendations to be sound and worthy of prompt and favorable legislative enactment. CIVIL SERVICE We have given the subject of Civil Service very careful consideration and feel satisfied that such a system established by law to control State positions would be to the best interests of the entire Commonwealth. The conduction of such examinations should be delegated to the State Board of Examiners recommended in another chapter. THE STATE BOARD OF EXAMINERS As a result of every profession conducting its own examinations for admission to practice there is at present a multiplicity of Examining Boards and Commissions in this Commonwealth. Some of them are a source of considerable revenue, from which the Commonwealth derives no benefit. The payment of the fee charged in many instances imposes a hardship upon the appli- cant for examination, and in our judgment the practice should be discontinued. We believe that if these examinations were all conducted by the State under one Board the cost would be materially decreased to the advantage of the applicants. We, therefore, recommend: — That a State Board of Examiners be created under the direction of the Governor and the State Board of Education, to replace and discharge the duties of the Board for the Examination of Accountant, the State Board of Examiners for the Registration of Nurses, the State Dental Examining Board, The Pharmaceutical Examining Board, the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners, the State Osteopathic Examining Board and the State Board of Undertakers. That an Advisory Board be appointed, to consist of one certified public accountant, one registered nurse, the president of the Pennsylvania State Dental Society, one recognized Phar- macist, the Dean of the Veterinary Department of the University of Pennsylvania, the president of the Pennsylvania Osteopathic Association and the president of the State Association of Under- takers, all of whom should serve without compensation. That the State Board conduct all examinations for State positions required by a Civil Service law recommended in another chapter. That the board be authorized to employ expert examiners and given the right to seek the advice of experts in every line of professional activity. RETIREMENT OF STATE EMPLOYES In many of the Departments of the State Government there are attaches who have devoted the best years of their lives to the State service. By reason of their long and faithful application to some particular work they have become unfitted for any other kind and are entirely dependent upon the State service for their existence. We believe that individuals who have given the State such long and faithful service should enjoy the benefits of a Retirement Act. We, therefore, recommend that legislation be enacted providing retirement on half pay for any State employe who shall have been in the service of the State for twenty-five or more con- secutive years, or for any State employe who shall have reached the age of seventy years and been in the employ of the State for twenty or more consecutive years. The legislation should be such that the application for retirement could be made by the employe himself or by the head of his Department. We recommend that such a retirerrTfent bill subject the beneficiary to such minor duties as the head of his former Department might, under extraordinary circumstances, assign to him. STATUTES TO COVER POSITIONS The statistics compiled by this Commission show at the present time that the State service consists of 5,152 positions. Of these 1,168 were created by Statute; 2,752 were created by Legis- lative Appropriation, and 1,232 are contingent or temporary positions. The total annual pay-roll of the Commonwealth is $3,613,409.44. Of this amount $2,000,560.00 is paid for the statutory positions; $1,162,258.90 for those created by appropriation, and $450,590.54 is paid from con- tingent funds. In view of the large amount of money expended and the many positions required we recom- mend that legislation be enacted creating and fixing the salary of every position in every Depart- ment We recommend discontinuing the practice of creating positions by simply increasing ap- propriations. DUAL OFFICE-HOLDING From time to time a number of State officials, both elective and appointive, have been given additional offices by legislative enactment. These officials have been designated because of the nature of their Departmental work. We, therefore, recommend that legislation be enacted making such officials members ex- officio of such Boards and Commissions, and providing one salary for all services. In some instances a subordinate holds several positions for which he receives additional compensation. In most cases this system has been an economical one. To provide each Board and Commission with the entire services of a clerk or secretary would have cost the State more than under the present system. We, therefore, recommend that legislation be enacted combining offices wherever their duties are compatible and providing one salary for all services. The Commission disapproves of the practice of using the contingent fund to increase the compensation of positions created by statute at a fixed salary. If present salaries are inadequate they should be referred to the General Assembly for readjustment. OFFICE HOURS In order to facilitate the convenience of the public having departmental business to transact, we recommend that all Departments be open for the transaction of official business from 9 a. m. till 5 p. m., with at least one hour for luncheon, five days in a week, and from 9 a. m. till 12 noon on Saturdays. Also that all Departments be closed on Saturdays during the months of July and August. OFFICE ACCOMMODATIONS The crowded condition of the Capitol makes it apparent that with the creation of new and the development of old Departments, additional office accommodations must be provided imme- diately. At present the State has leases for offices in Harrisburg, outside of the Capitol building, aggregating approximately $7,500.00 per annum. We, therefore, recommend that the next session of the Legislature make an appropriation for the immediate erection of an office building within the area known as the Capitol Park Ex- tension. AN ACCOUNTING AND BOOKKEEPING SYSTEM While the moneys of the Commonwealth are expended by many Departments, Bureaus and Commissions, this Commission sees no reason why the necessary accounting and bookkeeping should not be units of a uniform system. In many Departments where the accounting system is carried on upon a large scale, it is very complicated. This is the result of patching old systems when new ones should have been introduced. We, therefore, recommend that legislation be enacted creating a Commission, consisting of the Banking Commissioner, the Auditor General and the State Treasurer, to investigate account- ing and bookkeeping systems and to adopt one that can be used in all Departments of the State .Government. SEMI-MONTHLY PAY An Act of the General Assembly approved April 24, 1913, reads in part as follows : "Each person, firm or corporation employing any person other than at an annual salary shall pay to such person his or her earnings or wages semi-monthly." As practically all State employes are, entirely dependent upon their salaries for their main- tenance, we recommend that legislation be enacted extending the semi-monthly pay system to State employes. PAY-ROLLS AND APPROPRIATIONS It is our conclusion that all regular monthly salaries for attaches of State departments and institutions should be paid by checks issued by the Treasury Department. The present prac- tice of all institutions and some departments paying with their individual checks is disapproved by this Commission. In the case of the State institutions it has been the custom for the Auditor General's De- partment to audit the accounts quarterly and then to reimburse the institutions for their quarterly expenses. In consequence of this system these institutions have been obliged to borrow money at six per cent, interest to meet their current expenses and pay their monthly salaries. We believe that the State loses more on account of these six per cent, loans than it gains by keeping its money on deposit at two per cent, and paying it out quarterly. We, therefore, recommend the immediate introduction of a system that will give State in- stitutions monthly instead of quarterly allowances, so that they can meet their bills when due instead of borrowing money at the maximum rate of interest. . ( A CAPITOL POST OFFICE The disposition of the incoming and outgoing mail for the State Departments would be greatly facilitated if the Capitol were provided with a sub-post office. We recommend that the General Assembly petition the Federal Government to provide this accommodation. THE GOVERNOR'S ELECTION Section 4 of Article II of the Constitution provides : "The General Assembly shall meet at twelve o'clock noon on the first Tuesday of January, every second year and at other times when convened by the Governor, but shall hold no adjourned annual session after the year 1878." Section 3 of Article IV of the Constitution provides : "The Governor shall hold his office during four years, from the third Tuesday of January next ensuing his election and shall not be eligible to the office for the next succeeding term." Section 13 of Article III of the Constitution provides : "No law shall extend the term of any public officer, or increase or diminish his salary or emoluments, after his election or appoint- ment." The almost simultaneous convening of the General Assembly and the inauguration of the Governor cause considerable confusion every four years. We recommend that the General As- sembly give serious consideration to the question of changing the election for Governor from the even to the odd numbered years. Such a change would give the Chief Executive the advantage of a year in office before confronting him with the task of making recommendations to the Gen- eral Assembly as required under Section 11 of Article IV of the Constitution, which reads as follows : "He (the Governor) shall, from time to time, give to the General Assembly information of the state of the commonwealth, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he may judge expedient." THE GOVERNOR The Executive Department consists of eleven positions, nine of which were created by statute and two by contingent fund. In addition to this the Executive Controller's Department, which is directly connected with the Executive Deparment, has three positions, all created by statute. The combined salaries of these two Departments aggregate $31,200.00 per annum. The Constitution never intended that the Chief Executive should be called upon to discharge fiscal duties. They properly belong to the fiscal officers of the Commonwealth. In view of Sec- tion 10 of Article IV of the Constitution, which provides, "He (the Governor) may require in- formation in writing from the officers of the Executive Department, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices," we see no reason why he should be required to audit expenditures of any Department. Nevertheless, under present laws, he is obliged to approve the expenditures of many of the largest Departments, extending into millions of dollars annually, thereby robbing him of much time which should be his for deliberation upon executive problems for the development, prosperity and happiness of all the people of the State. Wc recommend that all laws requiring the Governor to approve Departmental expenditures be amended, and that he be relieved from all such duties, which properly belong to the fiscal officers of the Commonwealth. THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION The Department of Public Instruction, because it moulds the minds of those upon whom the futun. of this Commonwealth must depend, is probably the most important in the State Government. The General Assembly has from time to time added Bureaus, Boards and Divisions to it, sometimes without regard as to whether or not there was an overlapping of purpose. This Department should be afforded every facility for expansion in order to give every child the advantages of the best possible common school education. We feel that a reorganiza tion of it and a readjustment of salaries commensurate with the duties and responsibilities imposed would increase its possibilites. We. therefore, recommend: — 1. That the State Board of Education be authorized to reorganize the Department of Public Instruction. 2. That the question of vocational education be given most careful consideration by the reorganizing body, and that it be raised to the position it deserves in the educational work of the State. THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION The Public Service Commission should be given ample time to formulate comprehensive policies to secure from public utilities for the benefit of all the people of the State adequate service at reasonable rates. A study of this Commission indicates that a sufficiently large appropriation was not made at the last session of the General Assembly to pay for the services and expenses necessary to properly perform all the duties imposed upon it. THE STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT The present State Highway Department was reorganized under the Act of 1911, at which time the State took over for improvement and maintenance 8,827 miles of highways. The session of 1913 added approximately 1,200 miles to the routes indicated in the Act of 1911, making a total of about 10,000 miles of highway, the responsibility for the improvement and maintenance of which was imposed upon this Department. 8 \ Accordingly the Department was organized, comprehensive surveys were undertaken, and equipment was purchased, with the idea of building roads under a bond issue of $50,000,000.00, resolutions, having been passed by the 1911 and 1913 sessions of the General Assembly authorizing the submission of a constitutional amendment to the people of the State. This proposed bond issue having failed of ratification at the November election in 1913, the work of the Department will be interfered with, as appropriations in the future will necessarily have to be made out of current revenues. Under the circumstances this Commission feels that it will be utterly impossible for the State, with any degree of efficiency, to improve and maintain highways other than those which represent the main or trunk lines. The responsibility for the improvement and maintenance of the smaller highways should be imposed upon the local authorities. We. therefore, recommend : — That the General Assembly consider promptly the question or re-routing State highways, in order that the duty imposed upon the State may be in accordance with anticipated revenues : That the local authorities be required to improve and maintain the highways of lesser importance ; That sufficient appropriations be made for the completion of work heretofore started by the State Highway Department, and for the improvement and maintenance of the re-routed State highways above suggested. CONSERVATION As was pointed out in the introductory pages of this report one of the most important things aimed at in investigating the organization and administration of the various Departments composing the State Government was the elimination of duplication of work and encroachment of authority A tangible example of such a state of affairs is presented by the Forestry Depart- ment, the Department of Fisheries and the Department made up of Game Commissioners. We feel that these three present similarity, both in the need of their creation and the duties prescribed and discharged by each. To conserve and protect natural resources was the primary reason of the Legislature creat- ing these respective Departments. In their infancy each one had its own field of activity. By steady growth and numerous additions they have reached such proportions that we feel their duties have become more or less interchangeable and that they should be combined under one head. The Game Wardens should be of assistance to the Fish Wardens, and the Forest Rangers should be helpful to both. A combination of these three forces should prove beneficial to all. A combination of the protecting forces of these three Departments and the State Police would provide upwards of 500 men constantly on duty. A distribution of duties and the consequent elimination of duplication should prove valuable for the service and helpful for the public. Three forces working under one head should achieve better results than under the present system. We, therefore, recommend that a Department to be called the Conservation Department be established, with a Commissioner at $7,500.00 per annum, and that the Department of Fish- eries, the Forestry Department and the Game Wardens be made subdivisions of the Conservation Department with a Director to receive $3,000.00 per annum at the head of each division. Until a closer study can be made after consolidation we feel that the present forces (with the exception of such recommendations as we have made in discussing the individual Departments), be kept intact. As was pointed out before, the Fish and Game Divisions need but very little office force, while the Forestry Department, as at present constituted, has in our estimation a sufficient force to handle all its work. We further recommend that an Advisory Commission, to be composed of one recognized forester, one expert fish culturist and one recognized game protectionist be appointed in an ad- visory capacity to the Conservation Commissioner. FORESTRY 'i Ik. Forestry Department consists of 157 positions, 4 of which were created by statute, 152 by appropriation, and one by contingent fund. The annual pay-roll aggregates $140,050.00. We feel that a Department the size of this one should have at least two traveling inspectors who should devote all their time to inspecting the work of the men in charge of the State forests. We do not believe that instructions such as these men need can be given by correspondence, nor do we feel that they can be given properly by any except experienced foresters. One- of the necessary elements of protection that we feel should be added to the forest service is the immediate erection and equipping of fire towers or forest look-outs. We believe that money expended along such a line of prevention will save thousands now expended for fighting fires. We recommend that the force of foresters be increased to 75, and that each forester be provided with at least two forest rangers. On account of the dissimilarity of conditions in the various forest reserves it is impossible to divide the entire State reservation into equal tracts. We believe, however, that a well wooded tract under the direction of one forester should not exceed 25,000 acres. In cases of barren hills such an area could, of course, be larger and the same care and protection afforded it by a small force. FISHERIES The Department of Fisheries consists of 42 positions, 3 of which were created by statute and 39 by appropriation. The office force of this Department is, by reason of the nature of its business, very small. The field force is the large and important division. We feel that the salaries paid the Superin- tendent and assistants at the State Hatcheries are inadequate. Considering the demand for expert fish culturists we feel that it behooves the Commonwealth to provide adequate compensation for these officials before private interests entice them by increased salaries. In view of the recommendations that we have made for combining the Departments of Fisheries-, Forestry and Game Wardens, we feel that the present force of ten Wardens supple- mented by the forces doing similar work in the other two Departments is sufficient. GAME The Department of Game Commissioners consists of 24 positions, 23 of which were created by statute and one by appropriation. The annual pay roll aggregates $23,760.00. The duties of the Game Wardens are so similar to those of the Fish Wardens and the Forest Rangers that we see no reason for increasing their number. We believe that the com- bination of these three forces and the assistance rendered by additional State Police will prove adequate to give the State game all the protection it needs. Cooperation between these branches of the State Government will bring about greater good and more lasting results than indiscrim- inate increasing of individual forces. We feel that there is unnecessary duplication of work and overlapping of authority by continuing these forces in separate fields, and that their immediate combination or consolidation is essential for the good of the public. THE WATER SUPPLY COMMISSION The Water Supply Commission consists of five members, three of whom receive $3,000.00 each per annum, the Commissioner of Health and the Commissioner of Forestry, neither of whom receives compensation for this service. The force of the Commission consists of 71 positions, 5 of which were created by statute and 66 by appropriation. The annual pay-roll aggregates $110,180.00. 10 In accordance with recommendations contained in the message of His Excellency the Gov- ernor of the Commonwealth to the last session of the General Assembly, comprehensive legisla- tion was enacted to prevent such catastrophies as those at Johnstown and Austin, caused by reason of the failure of dams impounding large quantities of water, also in order that an inventory of the water resources might be taken to determine their best uses — imposing upon the Commis- sion important duties and responsibilities. The study of this Commission has disclosed the fact that because of this legislation and increased appropriations the Commission has accomplished more during the years 1913-14 toward the conservation and equitable distribution of the waters of the State and the regulation of obstructions in, along and across the various water courses than during the entire previous history of its existence. In order to prevent what appears to be duplication of work, certain duties now performed by the Water Supply Commission relative to the incorporation of water and water power com- panies, mergers and consolidations, and sales of property and franchises should be transferred to the Public Service Commission, and the Water Supply Commission should confine its activities to the improvement of stream regulation, including the supervision over obstructions placed in, along and across streams of the Commonwealth ; the maintenance of a Hydrographic Division ; the completion of the inventory of the water resources of the State, for the purpose of determin- ing their best uses for all of the people, and the completion of the Pymatuning Reservoir Project. This Commission, therefore, recommends : — That the functions of the Water Supply Commission of Pennsylvania be confined to the inspection of existing dams ; that no dam be erected in the future for the impounding or storing of water, or for the development of water power, without first making application to, and re- ceiving the approval of said Commission, in accordance with such conditions as it may impose. The improvement of stream regulation, including the supervision over all obstructions placed in, along or across the streajms of the State. The completion of an inventory of all the water resources of the State — authorized by the General Assembly of 1913. The maintenance of a Hydrographic Division. The completion of the Pymatuning Reservoir Project, for the storing and impounding of waters, in order to improve and regulate the flows of the Shenango and Beaver Rivers. THE WATER WAYS The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is particularly fortunate in having natural waterway outlets at the eastern and western ends of the State. The Ohio River with its tributaries pro- vides excellent facilities in the west, while the Delaware River in the east should be an avenue of commerce of which the entire State could boast. Philadelphia is the logical outlet for a great export and the natural inlet for a great im- port trade. In fact, even the coastwise trade to and from Philadelphia could be increased three- fold if local conditions were improved. Existing conditions should receive the attention not only of the city of Philadelphia, but of the State and Federal Governments. The port of Philadelphia is in need of improved terminal facilities ; more wharves and docks ; a deeper river and closer co-operation between shipping and railroad interests. A study of the revenue derived from the port of Philadelphia by the Federal Government and a comparison of the same with the money expended by the Federal Government for improv- ments along the Delaware River is very interesting. In value of imports and exports of mer- chandise at Philadelphia during the year 1913, the city stood fifth in the list of Atlantic and Gulf ports. In tonnage it ranked second. The Custom duties collected that year at the port of Phila- delphia totaled $18,000,875.00. 11 For improving and maintaining the harbor of Philadelphia between 1890 and 1914 the combined city, state and Federal appropriations totaled $17,000,293.00. Between 1836 and 1913 the appropriations for improving the Delaware River from Philadelphia to the sea, approximately 90 miles, aggregated $17,000,523. The Custom duties collected at this port during the year 1913 surpassed the entire amount appropriated by the United States Government for improving the Delaware River and Phila- delphia Harbor during the preceding three quarters of a century. Below Philadelphia the Delaware River has been improved to a depth of 30 feet at low water and is now being deepened to a depth of 35 feet at mean low water. It has a width of 800 to 1,200 feet. The city of Philadelphia is making minor improvements along the river front. The State of Pennsylvania has been very generous in dealing with the city and its river problems. We feel, however, that the day is at hand when the State must take the lead and improve her natural water courses in every particular. We recommend that the State build wharves and warehouses provided with the best me- chanical trans-shipping equipment ; that she take steps for the completion and improvement of the belt line railway and its connections with wharves, warehouses and railroads ; that she main- tain wharves for transient or independent vessels ; that she build a dry dock to accommodate ocean steamers of the largest type ; that she keep the docks dredged and that she provide deeper channels in the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers. If the initial steps for elaborate improvements are taken at this time, Philadelphia, with its natural advantages, will be restored to the position of commercial supremacy that she once occupied. The opening of the Panama Canal will stimulate sea coast commercial activity. The ton- nage on the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers is steadily increasing. The handicaps to naviga- tion in these channels are numerous. Their advantages as natural outlets for commerce are too great in number to be ignored. The improvement by the State of these natural advantages will enure to the benefit of all her people. We, therefore, recommend liberal appropriations for the improvement of the waterways in the east, and the inauguration of a comprehensive system that will increase the facilities in the west. THE TOPOGRAPHIC AND GEOLOGIC SURVEY COMMISSION • From a strictly economic point of view the importance of geologic work in the State should be proportionate with the mineral wealth, and the necessity for immediate work is indicated by the rate at which these resources are being exhausted. Compared with other states Pennsyl- vania occupies a position peculiarly its own as a mineral producer. In 1913 the total value of the mineral production of the State, excluding pig iron, coke and derived products, was $500,- 923,377.00, almost four times that of West Virginia or Illinois, the second and third states in order of production. This output is almost one-fourth that of the entire United States. In 1913 Pennsylvania produced over 173,000,000 tons of bituminous coal, about 700,000 tons each working day, equivalent to the exhaustion of 35,000 acres. It needs no prophet to see the rapid exhaustion of our best fuels. The end of the great Pittsburgh bed of coal, which has been called the most valuable mineral deposit in the United States, will be seen, experts predict, by a large portion of the present generation. Pennsylvania owes its preeminent position as a mineral producer to its coal, but if all the coal production is disregarded, our own State will still continue the leading mineral producer, exceeding California in 1913 by over $12,000,000.00. Of the fourteen leading metals, fuels and structural materials, with a value of two-thirds of the total mineral output of the United States, Pennsylvania leads in seven, and is second in one. Of the remaining six, petroleum is the only mineral we produce. 12 The average mineral production per square mile of area in the United States in 1912 was $530.00, while that of Pennsylvania was $9,981.00 (in 1913 it was $11,100.00), nineteen times the average and almost twice that of West Virginia, the second state on a basis of unit production. The above facts not only serve to indicate the enormous quantity and value of the Pennsyl- vania minerals, but they equally show how fast this mineral wealth is being drawn upon and emphasize the increasing importance of careful study which will lead to true conservation. Comparing the aid and assistance Pennsylvania and its adjoining States are giving toward the development and encouragement of the mineral industry, Pennsylvania falls far behind. The total appropriation for the current year for both topographic and geologic work is but $15,000.00, which is $0.33 per square mile, while in Ohio the appropriation is $0.78, in Maryland $1.22, in West Virginia $1.24, and in New Jersey $2.00 per square mile of area. Comparing the several appropriations with the total mineral production we find the amount appropriated for each $1,000 of output in New York is $3.35, in Maryland $1.37, in New Jersey $0.45, in Ohio $0.29, in West Virginia $0.24 and in Pennsylvania but $0.03. The above comparisons show that while Pennsylvania stands at the top of the list as regards total mineral production, when compared with our neighboring states it stands at the bottom of the list as regards any attempt to maintain this ranking position. Our expenditures for the encouragement of our mining industries are but 1/8 as much as West Virginia, 1/9 as much as Ohio, 1/4 as much as New Jersey, 1/40 as much as Maryland, and but one per cent, of the amount expended by New York. The importance of the completion of the topographic map of the State needs no argument. Slightly more than one-half of the State has been mapped. Under the provisions of the contract with the United States Geologic Survey that body pays one-half of the field and office expenses of this work and the entire cost of engraving the finished maps. The present Topographic and Geologic Survey Commission of Pennsylvania was created in 1909, and since that time has received $80,000.00 in appropriations. With these limited funds we feel that the Commission has made substantial progress. We. therefore, recommend: — That the present system of compensating the President of the Commission for perfunctory services be discontinued; That the headquarters of this Commission be moved to Harrisburg; That the General Assembly make a substantial appropriation in order to complete the topographic map of the State and to further the geologic work. A PUBLICITY BUREAU Pennsylvania should adopt more aggressive methods for keeping the public advised of her growth and development, her natural resources, her industrial prowess, her commercial strength, her geographical and climatic advantages, her agricultural superiority, her conserva- tion policies, the accomplishments of her people and the protection afforded by her laws. Every Department in the State Government is doing something of interest and benefit to the entire population of the State. It does not become a Commonwealth as great as Pennsyl- vania to forge steadily ahead in silence. We do not approve of carefully planned publicity cam- paigns, nor do we feel that she should resort to the every-day methods of commercial advertising. We are convinced, however, that Pennsylvania should give the public complete and timely infor- mation concerning things being done and accomplishments daily achieved within her borders. The industrial activities and occupations peculiar to Pennsylvania provide in themselves a subject of world wide interest. The attention given the public schools and their development stands out conspicuously. This Commonwealth annually appropriates more for the support of 13 her educational institutions than half the States of the Union enjoy as their entire revenues. Her mining production equals approximately fifty per cent, of the output of the United States. Her charities are better cared for than elsewhere. Her legislation has been more progressive on sane lines than that of any other State. She is free of debt and does not collect one penny of land tax. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is and always should be the leader in everything that is for the best interests of all her people. For that reason we recommend a Bureau of Publicity ; one that could keep continually before the public what Pennsylvania is accomplishing, not only in her official or public capacity, but also in the private fields of commercial and industrial activity. PUBLIC GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS This Commission after careful study and consideration is convinced that the present system of purchasing supplies, under direction of the Board of Commissioners of Public Grounds and Buildings, and the erection of buildings and additions to existing and new State Institutions, under the direction of numerous and temporary Commissions created from time to time by the General Assembly, should be discontinued ; and that these functions should be performed by a State Board of Public Property, to consist of three members, who should be required to devote their entire time and attention to the duties of the Board, one of whom should be appointed by the Governor, one by the Auditor General and one by the State Treasurer. The approval of all supply contracts by the Governor, the Auditor General and the State Treasurer is required by Section 12 of Article III of the Constitution. It is a safeguard for the public, and this Commission is in entire accord with this provision. The Board of Commssioners of Public Grounds and Buildings is composed of the Governor, the Auditor General and the State Treasurer. This Board has "entire control and supervision of the public grounds and buildings, including the Executive Mansion, and all the repairs, altera- tions and improvements made and all work done, or expenses incurred in and about such grounds and buildings, including the furnishing and refurnishing of the same, and are authorized to enter into contracts for stationery, supplies, furniture, fuel, repairs, alterations or improvements and other matters needed by the Legislature, the several Departments, Boards and Commissions of the State Government and Executive Mansion." The Board employs a Superintendent of Public Grounds and Buildings, and has 172 employees whose annual salaries aggregate $173,560.00. At present Commissions are at work considering the erection of a Pennsylvania Home for Inebriates, a Village for Feeble Minded Women, and an Industrial Home for Women. The Feeble Minded and Epileptic Institutions at Spring City and Polk are making extensive additions and considerable public money is being expended in the constructon of a new Western Penitentiary in Centre County. It is our opinion that all planning and building of State Institutions should be centralized in one body, as the employment of individual architects and other experts by each building Com- mission has developed into an expensive luxury. When the Board of Commissioners of Public Grounds and Buildings was created the supply needs of the various Departments were slight. These have increased continually until this ques- tion is probably the most important one now imposed upon the Public Grounds and Buildings Commission. Section 12 of Article III of the Constitution provides : "All stationery, printing, paper and fuel used in the legislative and other departments of government shall be furnished, and the printing, binding and distributing of the laws, journals, department reports, and all other printing and binding, and the repairing and furnishing the halls and rooms used for the meetings of the General Assembly and its committees, SHALL BE PERFORMED UNDER CONTRACT to be given to the lowest responsible bidder below such maximum price and under such regulations as shall be prescribed by law." The detail incident to preparing schedules, receiving bids, awarding 14 contracts and purchasing supplies under them has become enormous. The members of the Board of Public Grounds and Buildings, by reason of their other important duties, are unable to give the matter of supplies the time and close attention it deserves. Therefore this responsibility is dele- gated almost entirely to the Superintendent of Public Grounds and Buildings. The supplies furnished State Institutions have also received consideration. Their wants are identical, but the prices entirely different. In the matter of food stuffs the location naturally affects some Institutions. In the matter of staple supplies location should have no influence. If a central body purchased these supplies it is our opinion that the appropriations to these In- stitutions could be more economically handled. A central body could also be used as a clearing house for the products of State Institutions. Those that provide more food, livestock and work- shop products than they require for their own needs could send them to another State Institution not so productive. This applies particularly to the new Western Penitentiary with its 5,000 fertile acres and its contemplated elaborate work shops. We, therefore, recommend : — That a Board of Public Property be created; That the duties now imposed upon the Board of Commissioners of Public Grounds and Buildings be transferred to this Board of Public Property ; That the Board of Public Property be given supervision over the planning and erection of all State Institutions ; That the purchasing of supplies for all State Departments be imposed upon this Board of Public Property, and that the purchasing of supplies by the various Departmepts be discon- tinued ; That this Board be required to study the supply, furniture and equipment wants of the) various State Institutions as well as their products in order to determine whether or not their purchase and distribution could be made more advantageously and more economically through such a centralized Board, and report the result of such study to the General Assembly ; That all contracts entered into by this Board in the matter of supplies or buildings be in- valid until ratified by the Governor, the Auditor General and the State Treasurer. The Commission has grave doubt as to the propriety of continuing the present system of requiring the Commonwealth to replace bridges destroyed by flood, fire or other casualty as it seems to be more in the interest of bridge building companies than the State. A MULTIGRAPHING AND ADDRESSING DIVISION If all the mechanical apparatus now distributed through the various Departments were assembled in one division and put at the service of one force for use by all departments, we feel confident that the State as a whole would get much better results than from the present un- systematic arrangement. For instance, there are fifteen multigraphing and two printing machines scattered through the various Departments. There are eleven addressing machines and one graphotype or plate- making equipment. The cost of this entire equipment amounts to many thousand dollars. The statistics compiled by this Commission show that the 140,000 forms produced by all these machines in a month is far below the maximum output of such an elaborate equipment. We, therefore, recommend : — 1. That all multigraphing and addressing equipment be centralized in one Division. 2. That a force of three experts be provided to handle the multigraphing and three to handle the addressing equipment. 3. That this division for multigraphing and addressing be made a part of the State Board of Property recommended in another chapter. 15 THE AUDITOR GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT The Auditor General's Department consists of 76 positions, 72 of which were created by Statute and 4 by the Contingent Fund. The annual pay roll aggregates $141,810.00. The Auditor General's office was created by the Act of March 17, 1809, P. L. 71, and succeeded the Comptroller General and Register General created respectively by the Act of April 13, 1782, and the Act of March 28, 1789. The creating Act provided in part "From and after 1 the first of May next there shall be appointed an officer to be called the Auditor General, who shall be invested with all the powers now possessed by the Register General, and shall perform all the duties, etc." The Comptroller General was authorized and empowered "to liquidate and settle, according to law and equity, all claims against the Commonwealth, . . . , . . . , for any pur- pose whatever." A later Act, approved April 4, 1792, provided "All public accounts shall be submitted to, and in the first instance examined, liquidated and adjusted by the Register General ; and the Register General shall, after liquidation and adjustment of every such account, transmit the same, , to the Comptroller General." This dual arrangement of auditing the public accounts by the Register General and the Comptroller General has been continued by the Acts creating and regulating the Auditor General and now vests that authority in the Auditor General and State Treasurer. Section 3 of an Act approved March 30, 1811, provides "That when any public account is examined and adjusted, entered in the books of the office and signed by the Auditor General, it shall be submitted, . . . , . . . , to the State Treasurer for his revision and approbation." At the same time Section 5 of this Act provides that the State Treasurer shall return such public accounts submitted to him with his approval or disapproval, and in the event of these two officers failing to agree the said account shall be submitted to the Governor, whose decision shall be conclusive as to the said officers. It has not been necessary to submit such accounts to the Chief Executive on many occasions, but it appears to be a wise precaution on the part of the framers of the Act. In addition to the auditing duties imposed upon the Auditor General and the State Treasurer by various Acts of the General Assembly they have also been invested with the authority to assess and collect taxes. The corporate taxes collected by this State comprise sixty per cent, of the State's revenue. The centralizing of these assessing, collecting and auditing duties in the Auditor General and State Treasurer places them in the anomalous position of assessing and collecting States revenues, disbursing them and then auditing the assessments and disbursements made and authorized by themselves. Centralization of authority and responsibility seems to have been carried to extremes in this matter Bouvier's Law Dictionary defines "Auditor" : "An officer of the government whose duty it is to examine the accounts of officers who have received and disbursed public moneys by law- ful authority." Black's Law Dictionary defines "Auditor" : "A public officer whose function it is to examine and pass upon the accounts and vouchers of officers who have received and expended public moneys by lawful authority." Webster's Dictionary defines "Auditor": "A person appointed and authorized to audit and examine an account (or accounts), compare charges with vouchers, examine parties and wit- nesses, allow or reject charges and state the balance." When these authorative definitions are compared with the duties imposed upon and dis- charged by the Auditor General it is sufficient proof to justify a redistribution of duties. When the vast amount of work entailed by the discharge of these duties is considered it is apparent that no man can discharge them with the highest efficiency. We, therefore, recommend : — That a Commission be created to be known as the State Tax Commission, composed of three persons, one to be appointed by the Governor, one by the Auditor General and one by the State Treasurer. 16 That the assessing and collecting of all State taxes be transferred from the Auditor General and State Treasurer to the Tax Commission. That for the better auditing of the accounts of Institutions receiving State money the force of traveling auditors in the Auditor General's Department be increased. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT The Attorney General's Department consists of 11 positions, whose salaries aggregate $36,250.00 per annum. As at present constituted, with its limited force, the Department has dis- charged its duties efficiently and creditably. Few Attorneys General have had more important legislation to pass upon than has the present incumbent of that office, and he has acquitted himself with credit and distinction. On acount of the limited force in this Department and the growing needs of the other De- partments the practice of employing individual counsel for certain Departments has come into use. This Commission disapproves of this system. It is both expensive and unsatisfactory. The legal forces of this Commonwealth should be centralized in one Department, under one head. The outside service has cost as much during the past year as has the entire Attorney General's' Department. In past years the collection of delinquent taxes has cost vast sums of money. We, therefore, recommend that a Department of Justice similar to that operated success- fully by the Federal Government be created by legislative enactment to take the place of the present Attorney General's Department and to provide all legal services for all Departments com- prising the State Government. We recommend the following force for the proposed Department:— 1 Attorney General, $12,000 00 per annum. 1 Solicitor General, 7,500 00 per annum. . 5 Deputies, , 5,000 00 each per annum. 5 Assistant Deputies, 3,000 00 each per annum. ,... 5 Stenographers, 1,200 00 each per annum. 3 Law Clerks, 2,400 00 each per annum. 1 General Clerk, 1,800 00 per annum. 1 Messenger, 1,200 00 per annum. - In recommending that the Attorney General's Department be changed into a Department of Justice we have not lost sight of Section 8, Article IV, of the Constitution, which provides : "He (the Governor) shall nominate and by and with the advice and consent of two-thirds of all the members of the Senate appoint . . . , . . . , . . . , an Attorney General during pleasure." By changing the Attorney General's Department to a Department of Justice with an Attor- ney General at the head of it, subject to appointment by the Governor, such legislation would not be in conflict with the Constitution. THE REVENUE AND FINANCE BOARD One of the defects in the organization of a State Government is the creation from time to time of different Boards to transact similar business. There are, for instance, at the present time four Boards or Commissions with separate and distinct memberships dealing with questions affect- ing the finances and revenues of this State. They are the Board to License Private Bankers, the Board of Public Accounts, the Board of Revenue Commissioners and the Sinking Fund Com- mission. The Board to License Private Bankers consists of the Banking Commissioner, the State Treasurer and the Secretary of the Commonwealth. 17 The Board of Public Accounts consists of the Auditor General, the State Treasurer, the Attorney General and a clerk who receives $500.00 a year. The Board of Revenue Commissioners consists of the Auditor General, the State Treasurer and the Secretary of the Commonwealth, who receive $300.00 each per annum, and one clerk who receives $1,000.00 per annum. The Sinking Fund Commission consists of the Auditor General, the State Treasurer and the Secretary of the Commonwealth, who receive $300.00 each per annum, and one clerk who receives $1,000.00 per annum. We, therefore, recommend that legislation be enacted consolidating these four Boards into one, to be called the Revenue and Finance Board, and to consist of the Auditor General, the State Treasurer, the Commissioner of Banking and the Attorney General ; and that they be given the entire services of one clerk at $1,800.00 per annum. THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC PRINTING AND BINDING The Department of Public Printing and Binding consists of 14 positions, 7 of which were created by Statute, 3 by Appropriation and 4 by the Contingent Fund. The annual pay roll aggregates $18,300.00. The Superintendent of Public Printing and Binding must possess a thorough knowledge of printing, binding, engraving, embossing and the other branches of printing, as well as a general knowledge of the composition of papers. We, therefore, recommend that the salary of the Superintendent of Public Printing and Binding be increased from $3,000.00 to $5,000.00 per annum. Under the provisions of Article 3 of Section XII of the Constitution all printing and binding for the State must be done under contract. The length of this contract has been fixed by statu- tory enactment at four years. The vast amount of work required by the Commonwealth demands an expensive and complete equipment. The cost of this is so great that in the past few con- tractors have been able to meet the demand, and as a result the State's work has been greatly hampered. The needs of the Commonwealth in this direction are steadily increasing, and unless the Constitution is amended and the State establish its own printing plant, we believe that the only solution is an extension of the contract period. We, therefore, recommend that hereafter all contracts for printing and binding be made for six instead of four years, so that successful contractors will be justified in furnishing equip- ment necessary to do the State's work. We further recommend that legislation be enacted giving the Superintendent of Public Printing and Binding direct supervision over the printing and binding furnished for all State Institutions. In another chapter we have recommended that the Superintendent be given additional authority in the matter of forms and letter heads for the Departments. DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS The annual reports published by the different Departments are for the purpose of informing the public, and for assisting the members of the General Assembly in determining the necessity for certain legislation. The cost of printing and distributing these reports is out of all proportion to the value and importance of the information contained in them. In view of the fact that under the present Constitution the Legislature meets biennially there does not appear to be any good reason why the cost of their issuance should not be reduced fifty per cent. We, therefore, recommend that legislation be enacted requiring the various Departments to issue bi-annual instead of annual reports with June 1st as the beginning of the bi-annual period. 18 FORMS AND LETTERHEADS The nature of the business transacted by many Departments in the State Government makes it necessary to adopt numerous forms. It has become the practice to print conspicuously on each one the name of the head of the Department. Frequent changes in elective and appointive positions have caused thousands of these forms to be wasted annually. We, therefore, recommend that in all such cases the printing of officials' names on forms be discontinued. The title of the office is all that is necessary. The dissimilarity of paper used for letterheads in the various Departments is also worthy of mention. As the present law does not give the Superintendent of Printing sufficient authority, we recommend that legislation be enacted authorizing him to standardize the paper used for all letterheads and forms. We also recommend that legislation be enacted giving the Superintendent of Public Print- ing and Binding supervision over the printing and binding furnished State Institutions. THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH The Department of Health was created by an Act of the General Assembly of 1905. The laws of Pennsylvania impose grave duties upon the Department and the Commissioner in preserving the purity of waters of the State, protecting the public health, suppressing epidemics of disease and in caring for indigent persons suffering from tuberculosis. In order to best meet these requirements, the Department has been organized in eight divisions, each having its peculiar duties to perform, each at the same time working in conjunction with the other divisions in the varying health problems which are constantly arising in a great Commonwealth. The followng divisions comprise the Health Department : The Medical Division, com- posed of an office force of twenty and a field force of sixty-six County Medical Inspectors (and six hundred and eighty-two Health Officers ; the Division of Laboratories and Experimental Sta- tion, with an office force of thirteen, bacteriologists, assistants, stenographers, clerks and helpers ; the Division of Distribution of Biological Products, composed of a chief, two stenographers, two clerks and six hundred and sixty-seven distributors, — druggists in the various towns in the State who serve without compensation ; the Division of Vital Statistics, under the State Registrar, with an office force of twenty-seven clerks and stenographers, and twelve hundred and fifty-six regis- trars and sub-registrars in the various registration districts of the State, paid by the counties or by special legislative appropriation ; the Division of Sanitary Engineering, composed of forty-two engineers, assistants, draftsmen, stenographers and clerks, and fifty-nine inspectors ; the Division of Accounting and Purchasing, with a chief and twenty-four bookkeepers, stenographers and clerks ; the Division of Supplies, composed of a superintendent, a stenographer and three clerks ; and the Division of Dispensaries and Sanatoria, employing an office force of ten, physicians, nurses and clerks. It has one hundred and ninety-seven physicians working in its one hundred and fifteen dispensaries and twenty nurses attending dispensary patients and doing sociological work. The Sanatoria at Mont Alto, Cresson and Hamburg employ twenty-four physicians, seventy-four nurses and four hundred and seventy-seven other help. In addition to these several divisions, the Commissioner has an Assistant, a Secretary, a General Inspector, an Auditor, two stenographers, night clerk, messenger and janitor, whose work extends to all of the several divisions. An additional division, to be known as the Bureau of Housing, authorized by an Act of 1913, is about to be established by the Commissioner of Health. It was not possible to start the work of this division earlier owing to the fact that no appropriation for such purposes had been made by the Legislature in 1913. The work of the Department is operated on strictly business principles. The Health Officers, County Medical .'Inspectors and Dispensary Physicians are paid in fees for tjhe hours actually engaged at their work, and the Medical Inspectors of Schools are paid according to the! 19 number of school rooms they inspect. Every voucher for time or expense is carefully examined by competent auditors before it is paid or allowed to pass to the Auditing Divisions of the ,State. Since 1905 the death rate from typhoid fever in Pennsylvania has decreased 67 per cent., and the general death rate has decreased from sixteen to fourteen per thousand population. This means a great saving of life and an increase of happiness to our people. Pennsylvania's health laws and the organization of its Health Department have attracted the attention of the world. The trained organization of the Department of Health is of inestimable value in times of emergency occasioned by disasters which from time to time may visit our Com- monwealth, as was illustrated at Austin in 1911, and on occasions when great crowds of people assemble, such as the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. , The Commission, therefore, recommends : — - 1. That a liberal appropriation be made at the next session of the Legislature for the work of the Bureau of Housing in the Department of Health ; 2. That a larger appropriation be made for medical inspection of schools, the rate which the Department of Health is able to pay under the present appropriation being hardly sufficient to recompense the inspector for the time that should be devoted to this very important work ; 3. That the Commissioner of Health be authorized to extend the work of the dis- pensaries and the physicians and nurses connected therewith in preventive and sociological work to such communicable diseases other than tuberculosis as in the judgment of the Commissioner of Health might be included. With very little additional expense beneficial results might be thus secured for the people of the State ; 4. That the capacity of the Sanatoria at Hamburg and Cresson be increased. The size of the waiting lists and the number of patients being treated at the Sanatoria indicate that greater benefits to the people of the State can thus be obtained with largely the same over-head charges and with a lower per capita cost of treatment. THE HEALTH OFFICER OF THE PORT OF PHILADELPHIA Because of the efficient work that is being done by the State Quarantine Board and the State Department of Health, in addition to the activity of the Federal officers who patrol the Delaware River, we feel that the position of Health Officer of the Port of Philadelphia is entirely unneces- sary. We recommend that the Statutes creating and regulating this office be repealed, and that- all duties incident to or a part of that office be transferred by legislation to the State Department of Health. THE STATE QUARANTINE BOARD The State Quarantine Board consists of 7 members who serve without compensation. The Quarantine Station is located at Marcus Hook and the office in Philadelphia. There are twenty salaried positions connected with the Board, four of which were created by Statute and sixteen by appropriation. The annual pay roll aggregates $21,520.00. The cooperation at Marcus Hook between the State and Federal authorities has been ad- vantageous to the entire State of Pennsylvania. We feel, however, that since the State Commis- sioner of Health is charged with the duty of protecting the health of the entire citizenship of the Commonwealth the Quarantine Station should also be under his direct supervision. We, therefore, recommend : — That legislation be enacted placing all work now carried on by the State Quarantine Board under the direct supervision of the State Commissioner of Health. . That the General Assembly provide a liberal appropriation for the immediate construction of proper and sanitary houses of detention at Marcus Hook. 20 THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture, including the Bureau of Chemistry, hut excluding the Dairy and Food Division, the Livestock Sanitary Board and the Division of Economic Zoology, consists of 32 positions, 18 of which were created by Statute, 13 by appropriation and one by) the Contingent Fund. The annual pay roll aggregates $56,880.00. This Commission feels that maintaining a Board of Agricultural Instructors and Demon- strators, consisting of ten persons at $2,100.00 each per annum, is not the best method for helping the agriculturists of the State. We believe that practical demonstrations are productive of better results than mere answering of questions. State College carries on a satisfactory course of this kind and there is no need for a Board to duplicate the work. We, therefore, recommend that this Board be abolished ; that four experimental farms be established, one in each corner of the State, and that a recognized expert agriculturist be placed in charge of each. We believe that the practical results thus obtained would be much more far- reaching and beneficial than the present system. The Division known as the Farmers' Institute in this Department calls attention to the inspectors and demonstrators connected with the Division of Economic Zoology. The present staff of employed lecturers numbers thirty-four. Their charges vary from $3.00 to $8.00 each per day and expenses. The twenty-eight Nursery Inspectors and Demonstrators in the Division of Eco- nomic Zoology receive from $1,200.00 to $1,700.00 each per annum. During the closed months of the year these men are practically idle. It is our opinion that if they are worth retaining in the public service they should be assigned to the Farmers' Institute work. We, therefore, recommend that these expert Nursery Inspectors and Demonstrators, who are familiar with the soil and products of Pennsylvania, be utilized by the Director of the Farmers' Institute, and that the services of imported lecturers be dispensed with. We believe that the Dairy and Food Division and the State Livestock Sanitary Board call for work that concerns the health of the Commonwealth more than it does agricultural products. We have recommended in another chapter that these be made subdivisions of the State Depart- ment of Health. THE DAIRY AND FOOD DIVISION THE LIVESTOCK SANITARY BOARD The Dairy and Food Division of the State Government is at present connected with the Department of Agriculture and consists of thirty positions, twenty-nine of which were created by Statute and one by Contingent Fund, with an annual pay roll of $46,604.00. The Livestock Sanitary Board is also a sub-division of the Department of Agriculture, and consists of 72 positions, 14 of which were created by Statute and 58 by appropriation. The an- nual pay roll aggregates $95,170.00. As indicated in our discussion of the Department of Agriculture, we feel that these two, divisions should be connected with the State Department of Health instead of the Department of Agriculture. We feel that much of the inspection work of these two departments is carried on to a great extent by the Sanitary Inspectors of the State Department of Health. By adding these two divisions to the Department of Health, the combined force of inspectors from all three depart- ments could perform more efficient service for the entire Commonwealth and eliminate expensive duplication. The Health Department inspectors should handle the sanitary problems connected with dairy farms, and the Veterinarians the question of cattle. The combination recommended above would also make possible the utilization of one laboratory by these three departments instead of the use of three or four scattered all over the State. We, therefore, recommend: — 21 1. That the inspection force of the Dairy and Food Division so far as the regulation of food stuffs is concerned, be increased from 19 to 25, the salaries of the additional agents to be $1,500.00 each per annum ; 2. That legislation be enacted placing all the agents and inspectors of the Livestock Sani- tary Board on one plane, and relieving the Department of its present handicap by having certain inspectors regulated as to their duties by Acts of the General Assembly. We feel that the assign- ment of duties should be made by the Head of the Department; 3. That legislation be enacted giving the Livestock Sanitary inspectors the same super- vision over retail as they exercise over wholesale butchers and meat dealers. Under the present law these are exempted, and insanitary and unsatisfactory establishments are permitted to exist ; 4. That legislation be enacted transferring the Dairy and Food Division and the Live- stock Sanitary Division from the Department of Agriculture to the State Department of Health ; 5. That the Commissioner of Dairy and Food and the State Veterinarian be made the heads of their respective divisions without the assistance of their advisory Boards. THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND INDUSTRY The Department of Labor and Industry is less than two years old and consists of 94 posi- tions, 75 of which were created by Statute and 19 by the Contingent Fund. The annual pay roll aggregates $153,936.00. This Department absorbed the Department of Factory Inspection and has made consider- able progress along the new lines prescribed for its activity. In view of the fact that the State Department of Health has developed a very satisfactory system for examining school children throughout the Commonwealth we recommend that the physicians employed for this work also be used by the Department of Labor and Industry to examine the children who apply for certificates entitling them to go to work at the age of fourteen. The Bureau of Statistics has developed rapidly, and we feel embodies the foundation for considerable enlargement. All statistics should be compiled by this Bureau. It is duplicating work to permit the various Departments dealing with industrial service to compile separate statis- tics. The Bureau of Inspection in this Department is an important one. The inspectors must anticipate conditions that might cause accidents or loss of life, and where such occur they must devise methods for preventing their recurrence. They should be men and women of sound judg- ment. The present force of fifty Inspectors is inadequate. In many districts the inspectors can make but one inspection a year. We feel that this is little better than no inspection. We recommend doubling the present force of Inspectors and shifting them about from time to time. It is a mistake to keep any Inspector in the same district for too long a time. We also recommend that the inspection of the products of mattress factories, and the sani- tary condition of bake shops and ice cream plants be transferred to the Department of Health, where it properly belongs. THE ADJUTANT GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT The Adjutant General's Department is composed of 39 positions, of which 38 were created by Statute and one by the Contingent Fund. The annual salaries aggregate $47,484.00. The force in this office is inadequate and the compensation paid is not commensurate with the responsibility of the service performed. We, therefore, recommend : — That one clerk and one stenographer be added to the force. That the salary of the Deputy Adjutant General be increased from $2,500.00 to $4,000.00 per annum; the salary of the bookkeeper from $1,400.00 to $1,800.00 per annum; and the salary of each stenographer to $1,200.00 per annum. 22 THE BANKING DEPARTMENT The Banking Department consists of 34 positions, 33 of which were created by Statute and one of which is paid from the Contingent Fund. This Department expends $84,400.00 an- nually for salaries. The work requires eternal vigilance, for upon this Department the public must depend for the safety of its financial institutions. Its growth since its creation in 1892 is- best shown by a comparison of figures compiled at that time with those available June 1st, of the present year. The Institutions supervised by the Banking Department follow : — 1892 June 1st, 1914 Banks 84 Banks, 179 Savings Institutions, 16 Savings Institutions, 11 Trust Companies, 72 Trust Companies, 294 Total, 172 Total, 484 In 1892 the aggregate assets of these Institutions were $310,807,411.88; on June 1, 1914, $1,286,904,136.84. The Trust Funds, kept separate and apart from the companies, in 1892 were $20,685,480.31. On June 1st, 1914, Private Trust Funds aggregated $1,121,981,228.44. Corporate Trust Funds, not examined in 1892, but which now form a large part of the business of Trust Companies, amounted to $3,621,860,075.56. In 1892 the Capital invested represented $44,934,641.68. On June 1st, 1914, $120,467,819.95. The Surplus Fund in 1892 was $19,388,296.52. On June 1st, 1914, $172,410,717.89. The Undivided Profits jn 1892 were $12,890,144.10. On June 1st, 1914, $33,509,249.25. The Deposits in 1892 were $201,795,429.28. On June 1st, 1914, they were $923,269,499.71. The number of deposit accounts under the supervision of the Examiners in this Depart- ment on June 1st, 1914, was 2,260,469. The work of supervising Building and Loan Associations was made the duty of this De- partment by legislative enactment in 1895, at which time the number of Associations was 1,131 and the total assets $99,519,917.50. Statistics for the year 1913 show that there are 1710 Asso- ciations at the present time with total assets of $233,564,455.60. In addition to the Building and Loan Associations this Department has been given super- vision over the private bankers of the State. To date 108 licenses have been issued. At the present rate of increase this work will soon become of sufficient importance to demand the entire attention of several Examiners. We, therefore, recommend that the force of Examiners be increased from 21 to 30, and that the rate of compensation for new Examiners be made the same as that of the old ones. We also recommend that instead of the present expensive system of receiverships the Com- missioner of Banking be authorized by legislative enactment to settle the affairs of Institutions that become impaired. This, we believe, would be a more expeditious and inexpensive manner of conducting the public's affairs. We also recommend that the Department be given an additional Deputy at $4,000.00 per annum and one additional clerk at $1,400.00. THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE FIRE MARSHAL The State Fire Marshal's Department consists of 26 positions, 6 of which were created by Statute, 9 by Appropriation, and 11 depend upon the Contingent Fund. The Act creating this Department provides a per diem rate for the clerks. This, we believe, was intended to cover tem- porary and not permanent attaches. 23 With this Department still in its infancy we are reluctant to recommend additional power. We do recommend, however, that legislation be enacted abolishing the per diem basis of com- pensation and specifying an annual salary for each position needed for the effipient administra- tion of the Department. THE INSURANCE DEPARTMENT The Insurance Department consists of 35 positions, 30 of which were created by Statute, 3 by appropriation, and 2 by the Contingent Fund. The annual pay roll aggregates $74,360.00. This Department was reorganized by the General Assembly of 1911, and under the circum- stances we feel should be given adequate time to prove its efficiency. For that reason we with- hold recommendations and criticism. THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS Inasmuch as one Legislature has spoken and expressed its approval of abolishing the De-' partment of Internal Affairs, we feel this matter and the future of the Department is without the pale of our jurisdiction and should be left to the superior wisdom of the General Assembly soon to convene. THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS BUREAU OF STANDARDS The Bureau of Standards in the Department of Internal Affairs consists of three offices, a chief, a stenographer and a clerk. The annual pay roll aggregates $4,200.00. The Bureau was created by an Act of the General Assembly of 1911, and its scope enlarged by an Act of 1913. This Bureau exercises supervisory jurisdiction over the Sealers of Weights and Measures in the 67 counties of the State. We recommend that the salary of the Chief of the Bureau be increased from $2,000.00 to $3,000.00 per anum ; that the salary of the clerk be increased to $1,800.00 per annum; and that the stenographer be continued at $1,200.00 per annum. THE DEPARTMENT OF MINES The Department of Mines consists of 63 positions, 61 of which were created by Statute and two by the Contingent Fund. The annual pay roll aggregates $167,436.00. The Department is divided into an office force and a field force : the latter consisting of 21 Anthracite and 28 Bituminous inspectors, each of whom receives $3,000.00 per annum for his services. In the examination of this Department it has come to our notice that the Anthracite inspectors are elected by the voters of the various Anthracite counties in the State. We regard this is a bad practice, -fend feel that men doing work of this kind should be appointed i so as to enable them to devote their entire time to the discharge of their duties. We, therefore, recommend that the law be amended so that Anthracite as well as Bitumin- ous inspectors will be appointed by the Governor. In the matter of Bituminous inspectors we feel that the increasing tonnage in that region warrants our recommendation to increase the number of inspectors from twenty-eight to thirty. Too much safety cannot be provided for the men who earn their livelihood beneath the surface of the earth, and the greatest precaution is a system of frequent and thorough inspection. Large quantities of stone, slate, ore and other minerals are mined and quarried in this State with practically no supervision. These industries annually produce millions of dollars worth of 24 materials, and employ thousands of men in their operation. For the protection of these employees we recommend that legislation be enacted providing for two inspectors to supervise the mining and quarrying of all minerals other than coal. We recommend that the salaries of these be fixed at $2,000.00 each per annum. THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF THE COMMONWEALTH The Department of State consists of 31 positions, 27 of which were created by Statute, and 4 by Contingent Fund. The annual pay roll aggregates $49,568.00. We have no criticism to offer of the organization or administration of this Department. We feel, however, that some of the salaries are inadequate. The office of Corporation Clerk, for instance, is a very important one. Through his hands daily pass many applications for charters for corporations. The salary of $2,200.00 per annum is, in our opinion, inadequate for such an office. We recommend that it be increased to $4,000.00 per annum. We also offer the following recommendations for increases in salaries : Assistant Corporation Clerk, $1,800.00 to $2,000.00 per annum ; Charter Clerk, $1,400.00 to $1,600.00 per annum ; Registry Clerk, $1,500.00 to $1,800.00 per annum ; Assistant Chief Clerk, $1,400.00 to $1,800.00 per annum ; Assistant Commission Clerk, $1,400.00 to $1,800.00 per annum. THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE POLICE The State Police Department, including officers, office force and field force, consists of 230 men. The annual pay roll aggregates $234,950.00. Considering the vast amount of territory these minions of the law cover, the moral effect they have on the community in which they operate, and the protection they afford the entire State, the cost in comparison is infinitesimal. We recommend that the present force be increased by two troops, or 1 10 men, and that the Department establish substations of three men each, twenty-five miles apart, throughout the entire State. This would provide patrols from each sub-station that would be in constant touch with the patrols from other sub-stations, thus providing a net work of sub-stations and patrols over the entire State with the exception of the larger cities. These sub-stations could be established, and salaries and equipment provided for the addi- tional troopers, for approximately $90,000.00 per annum. We, therefore, recommend that the necessary legislation be enacted to provide for this increase. An increased force of State Police would be invaluable to the Fire Wardens, Game War- dens, Forest Rangers and Fish Wardens. We believe that such a force would also put an end to the speeding automobiles that now make many of our highways extremely dangerous to pedes- trians. k THE STATE TREASURY DEPARTMENT The Treasury Department consists of 29 positions, 23 of which were created by Statute, 4 by appropriation and 2 by the Contingent Fund. The annual salaries aggregate $55,444.00. If the State Treasurer is to have the protection that he deserves in the disbursement of millions of dollars, the Auditor General's Department should be so constituted that it could give the accounts careful and prompt auditing. In our discussion of the Auditor General's Department we have recommended the removal of tax matters from that Department for that reason. 25 The General Assembly has from time to time imposed additional duties upon the State Treasury Department. This Commission has seen fit to recommend a semi-monthly pay system for State employees, which will increase the duties of the Treasury employees. In view of recent increases and the recommended change we feel that the force of this Department should be in- creased and that certain salaries should be readjusted. The grade of employees in this Department must always be the highest, and the salaries should be commensurate with the qualifications required. We, therefore, recommend that the following positions be created: — 1 Assistant Warrant Clerk, at $2,000 00 1 Assistant Appropriation Clerk, at $1,800 00 We also recommend increases in the salaries of the following positions : — Corporation Clerk, $3,000.00 to $3,500.00 Assistant Cashier $2,500.00 to $3,500.00 Assistant Corporation Clerk, $2,200.00 to $2,500.00 Bond Clerk, $2,500.00 to $3,000.00 Revenue Clerk, $1,600.00 to $1,800.00 Warrant Clerk, $1,600.00 to $2,400.00 Payment Clerk, $1,400.00 to $1,800.00 Mailing Clerk, $1,500.00 to $2,400.00 THE STATE BOARD OF PUBLIC CHARITIES The State Board of Public Charities consists of eleven members, one of whom, the General Agent and Secretary, receives a salary of $5,000.00 per annum. Under the Act of 1869, amended by the Act of 1913, this Board has unlimited authority to supervise the management of all chari- table, eleemosynary and correctional Institutions within this State. Its employees number seven. The two assistant General Agents are required to make annual inspections of the Institutions re- ceiving State aid. When the size of this State and the number of Institutions annually examined are con- sidered, it is apparent that a force of two inspectors is entirely inadequate. We, therefore, recom- mend that this force be increased to six ; that two of them devote their time to hospitals, two to homes and the remaining two to correctional institutions. We also recommend that the districts covered by these inspectors be changed from time to time so that they will not examine the same institutions continually, and that they be relieved of all office duties. Under the present system the supervision of the books and accounts of the various State- aided Instituions is left entirely in the hands of the traveling auditors of the Auditor General's Department. We have recommended elsewhere that this force of auditors be increased suffi- ciently to enable them to make monthly examination of these books. THE STATE BOARD OF PUBLIC CHARITIES THE COMMITTEE ON LUNACY The Committee on Lunacy, which is composed of five members of the State Board of Public Charities and employs one secretary at $3,000.00 per annum, one clerk at $1,500.00 per annum, and one stenographer at $1,000.00 per annum, is one of the most important Commissions now attend- ing to State business. To it is intrusted the discharge of many important duties. The members of the Committee serve without compensation, and since the creation of this body have given the Commonwealth the benefit of untiring and efficient service. Since the creation of this body, however, this branch of the State's care for her wards has greatly increased, and now calls for an increased force to properly carry it on. 26 We, therefore, recommend that the Commission be given the service of an expert inves- tigator at an annual salary of $5,000.00. The Secretary of the Board, by reason of the qualifica- tions required to fill the office, is in position to render efficient assistance to the Investigator as well as to the State Insane Asylums. We also recommend that legislation be enacted giving the Committee on Lunacy super-' vision over all State wards mentally defective. THE STATE INSTITUTIONS On account of the limited time afforded this Commission to conduct the investigations intended by the Joint Resolution creating it we were unable to give State institutions the thorough examinations that they merited. By propounding a series of questions, however, concerning their management and the salaries paid their attaches, and by examining the reports made to the State Board of Charities and the Auditor General, we have gained a general knowledge of the adminis- tration of this branch of the Government. We were impressed with the fact that in most instances the boards of directors or trustees are secondary rather than paramount to the superintendents of the institutions. In several in- stances the latter have lost entire sight of the fact that they are public servants and that the in- stitutions under their direction belong to the people. Their correspondence is indifferently treated, while visitors frequently have difficulty in securing even courteous treatment. This kind of management is inexcusable. Efficiency at the sacrifice of courtesy should not be tolerated. Whether it is due to lack of legislation on the subject of the superintendent's tenure in office, or whether it is the personality in each instance we were unable to ascertain. The question of supplies for these institutions has developed into a very important one. In most cases the general supplies are similar, but the prices entirely different. There is also a great dissimilarity in the compensation paid attaches. We have not lost sight of the fact that individual merit and abilty should be to a great extent the measure of pay- ment, but we do feel that there should be some restriction on amounts to which these salaries may grow. We recommend that the printing and binding required by State institutions be supplied by the Department of Public Printing and Binding in Harrisburg. THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE The Pennsylvania State College is a State institution founded under joint agreement be- tween the Federal Government and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This college has in a large measure answered the demand of the poor boys of Pennsyl- vania for a higher education along certain lines. For this reason, coupled with the fact that as an educational institution it has made praiseworthy progress, we commend it. The property connected with State College and owned by the same is valued at $2,000,- 000.00. It includes approximately 1,200 acres of farm land which is utilized for the instruction of about 3,500 students in scientific agricultural, engineering and mining work. The agricultural training supplied by this institution is not restricted to the student body, but by a system of corre- spondence reaches a large part of the population of Pennsylvania. The faculty of this institution consists of 260 persons. The average salary is $1,256.00 per annum. The salaries are lower than those of most state colleges. ■ We, therefore, recommend that the trustees make such increases as are possible under ex- isting conditions. Much can be said in commendation of the Agricultural Experiment Station connected with the college. The co-operation of this station with the Dairy and Food Division of the State Gov- ernment has brought about good results. 27 . We also recommend that Forest Academy, now connected with State Forestry Department, be consolidated with State College. While this institution has been successfully developed so far, we wish to caution the trustees not to advance along too many lines, but to bear in mind that State College was created primarily as an agricultural institution, and that its development should be principally along that line. It was never intended to assume the proportions of a university. There is plenty for it to do in its own restricted sphere. In conclusion we recommend that the General Assembly continue to deal generously with this institution. THE NEW WESTERN PENITENTIARY In undertaking the construction of a modern penitentiary in Centre county, the Common- wealth of Pennsylvania has taken an important step toward improvement in the management of her penal institutions. The comprehensive plan on which this institution is being constructed provides for both outdoor and indoor employment for the inmates. The 5,000 acres of fertile land connected with the institution will be tilled by the inmates, and the products should supply the wants of many State institutions. The workshops, equipped with up-to-date apparatus, will not only provide employment but also instruction for the 1,200 inmates who will be transferred from the Western Penitentiary now located in Allegheny county. The construction of this institution is being carried on under the direction of John Francies, Warden of the Western Penitentiary, and the plans are largely the product of his brain. THE STATE'S INSURANCE The geographical location of State institutions and State buildings relieves them from much of the danger to which other buildings are subjected. In spite of this they are all protected by elaborate insurance systems at an enormous cost. The destruction of State institutions by fire is unknown in this State. Some of them have suffered loss from time to time, but to no appreciable extent. We see no reason why the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania should not carry its own insurance instead of supporting private enterprises. We, therefore, recommend that the next General Assembly appropriate $1,000,000.00 as the nucleus of a sinking fund ; that the General Assembly of 1917 appropriate $500,000.00 additional for this fund; and that immediately thereafter insurance policies on all State institutions be can- celled, and the sinking fund increased from time to time to such proportions as in the wisdom of the revenue and finance board (proposed in a previous chapter), would provide ample protection for the money invested in State property. THE LEGISLATURE AND JUDICIARY The resolution creating this Commission provides : "It shall be the duty of this Commis- sion to investigate the number, character of duties, and compensation of all persons in the employ; of the State." On account of the limited time given the Commission to conduct its investigations, we have found it impossible to pursue our work beyond the Departments comprising the Executive branch of the Government. Most of the employees of the Legislative branch are paid on a per diem basis and the proper time to examine their efficiency and the economy of the system is during a session of the Legislature. 28 THE LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU The Legislative Reference Bureau consists of 21 positions, 19 of which were created by statute and two by the contingent fund. The annual pay-roll is $30,360.00. The assistance it gives the members of the General Assembly during the biennial session and the assistance it gives the public and the Departments of the State Government between ses- sions of the General Assembly is worth the money expended for its maintenance. THE STATUTES-AT-LARGE COMMISSION The work of compiling and publishing the Statutes-at-Large has been going on since 1891. Between 1891 and 1911 the appropriations for this work aggregated $84,000.00. The Legislature of 1913 appropriated an additional $5,000.00 to complete the work, which makes the total appro- priation $89,000.00. The statutes when compiled will comprise sixteen volumes. The first volume has not yet been completed and is to contain the index. The fifteenth volume has just appeared. The first thirteen volumes cost approximately $84,000.00, or $6,461.00 per volume. The delay in publishing these statutes is, in the opinion of this Commission, without justification. We, therefore, recommend that legislation be enacted repealing the acts concerning the Commission for the compilation and publication of the statutes-at-large and transferring the work to the Legislative Reference Bureau. THE BOARD OF PARDONS The Board of Pardons consists of the Lieutenant Governor, the Attorney General, the Sec- retary of the Commonwealth and the Secretary of Internal Affairs, each of whom receives $500.00 per annum for his services; a secretary at $1,000.00 per annum, a clerk at $500.00 per annum, a recorder at $500.00 per annum, a tipstaff and a messenger at $400.00 each per annum. We recommend that the office of secretary be continued at $1,000.00 per annum, that the offices of recorder and clerk be combined at one salary of $500.00, and that the offices of tipstaff and messenger be combined at one salary, namely, $500.00. This force will be entirely adequate to take care of the clerical duties of the Board of Pardons. THE STATE BOARD OF CENSORS OF MOTION PICTURES The Pennsylvania State Board of Censors of Motion Pictures has been in existence so short a time, that in justice to the officials and subordinates we withhold criticism and recommendations. THE ELEVATED AND UNDERGROUND PASSENGER RAILWAYS BOARD The Board to pass upon the Necessity for the Construction of Elevated and Underground Passenger Railways, created by an Act approved June 20, 1901, and composed of the Governor, the Secretary of the Commonwealth and the Attorney General, who serve without compensation, and a clerk who receives $750.00 per annum, should be abolished. We recommend that the Public Service Commission absorb and discharge all duties that may have been imposed upon this Board, and that legislation to that end be enacted. 29 THE BOARD OF PROPERTY The Board of Property, which consists of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, the Secre- tary of Internal Affairs and the Attorney General, and a clerk at $400.00 per annum, is, in the opinion of this Commission, a body without duties to perform. We, therefore, recommend that the act creating it be repealed and that all duties heretofore exercised by it be transferred by Act of the General Assembly to the Commissioner of Forestry. THE COMMISSION OF SOLDIERS' ORPHAN SCHOOLS The Commission of Soldiers' Orphan Schools is composed of eleven persons, who serve without compensation. The Commission has three employees, whose annual salaries aggregate $3,150.00. The work of these employees has been reduced to a minimum and we, therefore, recom- mend that the Legislature consider the advisability of transferring the duties of this Commission to the State Board of Education and abolishing the clerical force now employed by it.
