Governor Ten tonight sent the following message to the legislature recommending an appropriation to combat chestnut blight. The governor says: "I have the honor to call your at-tent on to a new and virulent disease of the wild chestnut tree, commonly known as chestnut blight, recently discovered near New Yo-k city, and hithorto unknown in America.

The disease has continued to spread, destroying the chestnut trees in the neig-lborhood of New York city and well up the Hudson. It has invaded LonK Island, beginning at the western end. sweeping eastward, practically covering the island. It has progressed to the southwest through the whole of the itate of New Jersey and all the ches trees there appear to be doomed to destruction. It has entered Pent sylvania and is prevalent in the Delaware valley.

It has been discovered l.i the following counties: Pike, Monroe, Northampton, Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, Philadelphia, Delaware, Lancaster and Southern Berks. In isolated placet it has crossed the lowe- Susquehanna and is now detected ii Eastern York, Eastern Perry and one portion of South western Perry. Other points of Infection have been found near Altoona and Greensburg. Means of Prevention "Kcperiments made by the department of agriculture at Washington deme nstrate that it Is possible to prevent the spread of the disease by removing spot appearances as they are detected, and destroing the trees in whici the disease occurs. By this-meats the region around the city of Washington has been freed from the blight for at least two years, ami It has not relnvaded this area.

In the soutl eastern portion of Pennsylvania, her -j the Infection is severe and al-j most complete, little hope exists for' saving- the trees, but in that portion of, the state west of the Susquehanna and north of the Blue mountains, it Is hoped by prompt action cm the part of th state to prevent further damage. If th disease can be held within the southeastern portion of the it will mean the saving of the wild chestnut trees in the other parts of the commonwealth, the value of which extends Into the millions of dollars. "I i herefore recommend that the legislature give immediate attention to this Important subject and that a commissi be created with sufficient powe. and appropriation of moneys to eliternlne upon and employ efficient and i radical means for the prevention, control and eradiction of this disease and that said commission be authorized, in conjunction with the department of fore-stry or otherwise, to conduct scientific investigations Into the nature and causes of such disease and to a opt such means to prevent its introduction ajul spread as may bo found necessary."

AddltlornJ recommendations for changes In th present election laws are matte by tlm commission to codify and revise thu election laws of the state In its wc-end report to the legislature tonight. Among the recommendations Is one lr( connection with the simpll-flcwtion of the ballot.

It calls for only one aquaria, opposite the name of any candidate even though nominated by more than one party. The report also recommends that assistance can given th voter in cae of inability to read of physical disability to mark the ballot Alternative bids were presented alon with the report providing for th marking of the ballot at home or la the booth under certain restrictions. A summary of the report prepare by Frank P. Prlchard, of Philadelphia chairman of the committee, is as fol 'lows: "The report points out that the orlg inal ballots were prlnfl and dUtrlb uted by the parties er oandUdate an not by the state, and that owing to cer tain abuses, the ue of a single official ballot printed by the state had becouxs almost universal throughout the Unit' ed States; that there were three prln clival forms of this ballot, namely, th Australian ballot In it simplest form, the party column ballot. In whic there was a qarate column for th candidates of each party, and usually with a party emblem and party clrel cr square, and the party square ballot which consisted of the Australian baU lot with the addition of a square of circle for the registration of a straight I arty vote.

Ballot Experiments. "The rerrt furtht pointu out thM the legislation with "-egard to all the forms has been largely experimental. That ten states which o-lglnally ad mt-td the Australian ballot subsequent! changed to the party column ballot; two states which adopted the party column ballot subsequently changed t'n the Australian ballot; two stab's which rdopted the party column subsequently changed to tfe piirty squirt lallot; live states which adopted th party square ballot, sub icquently changed to the party column ballot; fnd one state which ad ipted the party iquare babot. subsequently changed tu tne Australian ballot. That originally mloptcd the party column ballot: in, I i 1 1 on.r changed to the square ballot; that nln ttuies now have the Australian ballot; Iwtnty-nine the party column hallo, and three thn square ballot.

"The report fither states that tin four principal suggestions which hav been made to the commission were: "Finst. To the party squara and tnus chunne to the. Australian ballot. "Second. To retain the party square, but In some way to' simplify the ballot.

"Third. To make the assistance clause conform to the assistance claus In the primary law; and To return to what wa known as the vest pocket system, by which the voter could mark his balluB at home. "With regard to the abolition th party square, the report states that so far as the commission could Judgo nom the public discussions, there was no general demand for its abolition but that on the evmtrary. the majority of voters probably preferred to have It retained especially In view of tha number of offices to be filled and th ze of the ballot. The report als.

states that if the experiment known as the short ballot now bcln made In some municipalities provit. successful. It Is quite possible that the Australia ballot without any piUrtx square wouU ITOve to be the most desirable form ofi ballot to be used in connection with, that system. "With regard to the simplification of he ballot, the commission recommends that only one square shall be placed opposite the name of any candidate ten though he were nominated by Continued on Pago Six.
