Shameless PcryerSiOn of the License Law


We have been more than once surprzed that
Philadelphia city and county, with her vast num-
Der of stores, did not yield greater amount of
venue under the license law, until we observed the
classification of the merchants, as published in the
city papers. The law divides the merchants into
eight classes. Those selling $4,000 worth Of fo-
reign merchandise to constitute the first class, and
to pay $50. The second class to pay S4O-and so
on to the eighth class, whose sales do not exceed
$4,000, who arc to pay $40. Now can point
out from our own knowledge more than t,oo hun-
dred on that list who are placed in the 9TH and sh
classes, paying but 10 and IL! dollars license,
whose sales of foreign merchandise amount TO moro
than 100 600 dollars, and in some instances exceed
half million po annum. BY this gross and pail
pable neg ect the state is derauded out OF at least
$4,000 of revenue, while in many instances in the
country, merchants pay more than the law requires.
In this country there merchants whose sales of
foreign merchandise DO not exceed $4,000 who
pay greater license than many of the Phlsdel phis
merchants whose sales in some instances exceed
half a million of dollars. This is gross injustice,
not only 10 the state, bat to individuals who are
made to bear uneqsal burdens in taxation.

silk Culture I'm Ne,y-yor,s.

A bill has been reported in tho New York Te-
gisature, proposing bounty of teen cents for eve-
ry pound of cocoons, and fifty cents for every pound
ofSk produced in that state until June lst, 1918.
The report states that Silk be raised q, much
greater profit than wool, because three pounds of
Silk can be produced from the same land that
would produce but one pound of wool, and the raw
silk will sci! for eighteen dollars, while the wool
will sell but for fifty cents. The labor of taking
care of and feeding sheep lasts all the year, while
that of raising Silk is performed in six weeks, and
man who has but little land, can employ his fami-
y at home in its production, almost any one
can attend to the labor, which is very light.
