As the Senate and House went Into session tonight, speculation was rife on the contents of the Pinchot budget, which the governor will present tomorrow at a Joint session? The budget, he explained today, will eover every department and bureau and will be a comprehensive estimate of the' financial needs for the next two years. "What the legislature will do with it is not for me to say," Pinchot remarked.

That was the only comment he would make prior to actual presentation of his estimates. Despite reports that there may be a fight on the budget, the governor declared he did not intend to coerce the House into passing it. "If anyone thinks I am going to club the House over the head." he stated, "he is mistaken. The budget will be submitted and then it will be up to the House to act." Dr. Homer W.

Tope, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, arrived this afternoon to take a hand in drafting legislation for the repeal of the Woner act and the substitution of a rigid dry code, with the license feature eliminated and what he described as a "reasonable search and seiure" clause inserted. The bill. Dr. Tope stated, would not be ready for presentation before next week. It is being drawn up by the attorney general in conjunction with "dry" leaders of state and National prominence.

May Repeal Judges' Pensions, Both the Senate and House tonight received bills calling for the repeal of the judges' retirement act passed In the session of 1919. Senator Snyder of Blair sponsored the measure In the upper chamber, while Representative Chaplin of Cambria presented the bill in the House. Under the terms of the bill all judges in the courts of the commonwealth are to retire on half pay after serving 20 years on the bench if they become incapacitated through sickness or injury. Many judges are opposed to the act. declaring it to be unfair to place the judiciary on a pension basis when the same consideration is denied other servants of the state.

Another bill, introduced by Representative Brewster, Huntingdon, would increase the tenure of service before retirement from 20 to 25 years. McVickar Heads Rules Committee Barr and Leslie Named On Similar Body In Senate. By JOHN K. BALL. Staff Correspondent of The Pittsburgh HARRISBURG, Jan.

As the Republican authorities of the district are delaying certification of his election, Sprowls will be unable to take his seat until next week.

PRINCIPLES OF WILSON PRAISED BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. WASHINGTON, Jan.

22. French policy the Ruhr was attacked as "ruthless militarism," a violation of the armistice terms and the treaty of Versailles and an "offense against humanity" In a statement Issued tonight by Senator Borah of Idaho, Republican member of the Senate foreign relations committee. Borah also criticized the state department in what he said was its policy of si i lence and inactivity and declared the United States at least should declare its attitude by protesting formally against the French policy. "This is a situation," said Borah, "in which the United States cannot, with honor, remain silent. The first duty of a nation la to protect its life when assailed and its highest honor and lory in victory la to bo just to a fallen foe.

It la this rule which distinguishes the savage from the civilized nation. Praises U. S. Soldiers. "It was American principles announced by President Wilson upon which the armistice was signed and It was upon these principles that Germany laid down her arms.

"It was our soldiers that made possible the defeat and disarming of Germany. "According to these announcements and principles, we declared officially and many times that with the German people, as a people, we had no quarrel, but a feeling of sympathy and friendship. In other words, we furnished the soldiers, the principles upon which the armistice was based which resulted in disarming and rendering Germany helpless and we also made definite and certain pledges as to the treatment of Germany. After all that takes place and at a time when Germany has been disarmed and rendered powerless, her territory is invaded, military rule is established, all of which will bring in its wake indescribable suffering and unto'd misery to the German people, as a people, and, in addition to that, great financial and economic loss to our own people. Germans Starving.

"Even before the Invasion this Government had been advised that great suffering must obtain In Germany throughout the winter and that thousands of women and children must die of starvation. The action of France accentuated that condition. "In other words, we see the German people turned over to the most destructive and ruthless method of militarism, of arbitrary power, and we do not so much even as record our protest. Certainly we cannot be silent under such circumstances. We should, when we saw this thing coming and it has been perfectly apparent for months that it was coming have called a conference and sought through honorable and peaceful methods to avoid this crisis to adjust economic problems involved which would have also given us an opportunity to make clear and positive our views upon such a policy as now obtains.

But this we declined to do. "We did not. as a matter of fact, even suggest to France In a way that France felt bound to take notice, any plan whatever. We remained silent and inactive and without a policy or a program when the interest humanity and the most vital econorm-c interests of our own people called for us to make a pronounced and unmistakable effort to bring the powers concerned Into a conference for adjustment of the questions involved. But certainly it ought not to be permitted for the world to look upon us as conniving at this program by our silence.

It Is wholly different from a case in which we had had no part in the war or in the conflict. We should declare our attitude, our position, and make our protest. This is the very least we can do and we should do very much more. "The action of France, in my judgment, is without authority under the Versailles treaty. It is a defiance of International order and peace.

It is an offense against What she is doing will not bring compensation, but it will bring supreme suffering, not only to the Germans, but to the people throughout Europe, andL incalculable loss to our own people."

The repart deals with the department of public welfare, which, it is stated, has made "noteworthy progress;" the department of health, 10 medical and surgical hospitals "over which it has almost no control," and Allentown and other hospitals. Criticisms of the costs are made, the question of turnover is said not to be getting the attention it should; comment made on lack of standardized wages and salaries and detailed discussion given for purchases, it being stated the state is losing probably a year through inability to pay cash for supplies delivered at institutions. Recommendations.

Mutual friends of Governor Pinchot and James F. "Woodward, secretary of internal affairs, succeeded in arranging a conference between the two officials this afternoon, at which the threatened storm over location of the bureau of industrial statistics was dissipated. Neither apparently was looking for a fight at the beginning of the new administration. The governor -was informed by certain state officials -who wish to render aid to his program for reorganization of tile state government that the agitation stirred up over announcement that the bureau of statistics was to be made a part of the proposed department of commerce was simply a movement to bring trouble between him and Woodward. He was advised that a discussion of the subject with oodward would remil tin clearing the atmosphere and continue the friendship with the secretary of Internal affairs.

At the lame time Woodward denied any desire to "oppose the governor's general program and gladly agreed to the conference. Looking to Future. The governor's friends declaring his announcement concerning the transfer the bureau of statistics was misun-derstood. They insist the executive had no intention of taking the bureau from Woodward's department during the Iat-ters Incumbency, but that he was referring to a future arrangement. No official statement concerning the conference was forthcoming from either jr.de.

to the controversy, but it is understood that Pinchot informed Woodward that statements he had made on reorganization indicated merely a tentative plan and that he did not propose to rush head long into making changes without giving them thorough study. Also that he had no thought of raiding Woodward's department at this time, at least. Woodward outlined to the governor the constitutional provision which places toe bureau of statistics in the department- of internal affairs and insisted that it should remain there. The conference was harmonious and the officials indicated that there is now a complete understanding between them. It developed later that the Governor's plan is to abolish the department of internal affairs constitutional amendment.

Such procedure would re--ulre Irom four to five years, inasmuch proposal to amend the constltu- tra must be adopted by two successive legislatures and be aipproved by the Therefore, it not become effective until after both Woodward and the governor are out of office. This the governor expects Woodward to accept and aid in getting the necessary resolution through the legislature. O. 0. P.

Objects to Program. Republican leaders no doubt will refuse to agree with Pinchot on this new proposal. They may put his resolution for a constitutional amendment through the present session, to avoid friction with the executive at. this time, tout there is no doubt there will be a different story to tell when the proposal comes up in the spring 1S2S. Organisation leaders have never favored legislation reducing the number of Jobs on Capitol Hill.

They have always sought means of adding to the payroll. As the department of internal affairs have been reconstructed by "Woodward as a bulwark of strength to the machine, the leaders are certain to hold on to it long as possible. Prior to his conference with Woodward, Pinchot announced legislation for a complete reorganization of the state government will be introduced early in the present session. No bills, he stated. re being drafted at the moment, but they will make their appearance in time to afford the law makers -an opportunity to study their provisions.

Before any definite move is made in this direction Pinchot plans to meet the members of the re-organizatlon commission appointed by former Governor Sproul. They will be assembled here next Thursday by Senator Woodward of Philadelphia, chairman of the commission. All data they compiled will be turned over to the governor for his guidance. There are well-grounded reports on the "Hill" that Pinchot la not in entire sympathy with most of the recommendations contained in the report of the Sproul commission. In his re-organization plan he will be guided chiefly suggestions from Attorney General Woodruff, Secretary of the Commonwealth King and others who have been associated with him for a number of years in promulgating the theories of government.

A department of administration and finance la one of the features in the mind of the governor for his reorgani- zation. Another bill contemplates plac-ing the highway department on an entirely new basis, but no details were forthcoming. 23 in New Cabinet.
