AS a Free Trader Secs 1t.

The United States Treasury has dur
ing this fiscal year paid out $4,000 600
more than its income, but has increased
its cash assets by borrowing to the
amount of, saw, 1925, 900 000.-New
York Evening Post, June "A, 1928.
This is the opinion of Free-Trade
editor Godkln. His administration.
headed by his Mr.. Cleveland, has in
creased the debt of the country by
Sl75, 600, 600 during fiscal year which
includes the operations of his Free
Frade Tariff tor ten months. The
Treasury has paid out $50 ,000.0 more
that its income" 1t has also borrowed
''to the amount of, say, 1925, 900, 900. J"
This is fair beginning for Editor God
kin, his President, his Free-Trade bill
and his Treasury, but isn't it rather a
steep bIll for the people to pay for ex-
perimeuting with Godkin's theories?
If he could have had his way the bill
which the people must pay would have
been Sit, 2S2 ,S26 larger through the loss
of revenue that would have been in

Among the honorable women not a
few who have joined their names and
fortunes to the Taft family lin Tx
bridge mention should be made OF the
wife of Josiah, the son of David. The
days of her widowhood were times of
serious trouble for the colonies. Her
husband died in 1856. The French and
Indian war was at hand; and revolu-
tionists not far distant. A requistion
was made on the town of UXbridge for
certain sum of money for colonial
purposes. 4 meeting Of the legal vot-
ers was held to see if the money should
be granted. The estate of Josiah Taft
paid the largest tax in Uxbridge, and
his son, BaZaleel, was a minor, but,
with strong sense of justice that there
should be" no taxation without repre-
srntation" the citizens decided that
the widow Of Josiah Taft should vote on
the question. She did so, and her vote
was the one that decided in affirmative
that the money should be paid.

1t Makes a Difference.

1t does make difference even how
things look. On Tuesday evening of
last week, for instance, when the Mayor
thought the council had no real inten-
ton or serious thought of investigating
his acts, he opened the regular session
with sharp lecture and reprimand of
that body, and added 81 demand an
investigation at your hands"
When he got through Aid. Mcqueen
laid upon the clerk desk a document
which contained eight specific charges
against His Honor, and it was voted to
begin the investigation the following
Friday evening at o'clock.
When the hour arrived His Honor
was in his official chair CONTRARY to all
precedent) and by his attorney, Mr.. s.
\. Dickinson, informed the councilmen
in short that they had no jurisdiction
in the matter and must desist from
their plans of investigation.
lie had previously twitted the coun-
cilmen of acting like children, but he
now plays the baby act in the most APP
proved manner. But even as chairman
of this meeting he could not declare the
motion Of his attorney for dismissal Of
the case, carried. This showing of the
white feather so early in the game
rather disguised his friends even.

ELEPHANTS dear Light
Fraud Is Alleged In the Letting Out
Of Contracts.
AN INJUNCTION IS GRANTED
Claims That Contracts We're Not Awarded
to Lowest Biddcr-Borough Council
EnjOincd from Paying Any
Money on the Contracts.

There will be a hearing in open court
next Monday at a. m. In the equity
| suit where preliminary injunction
was yesterday granted restraining and
enjoining the borough council Of Oily
phant from making any further pay
ments on the contracts with the Scran-
ton Supply and Machinery company
and the General Electric Light COM
pany for an electric light plant for the
borough.
The suit was yesterday brought by j.
NJ. Schenck. Dominick Howard, and
Richard ]. Gallagher, accompanied by
an affidavit from Joseph A. Dolphin in
which he says the contracts for the
new plant were made through fraud.
The petition for an injunction COM
plains that the borough council did not
by any resolution or ordinance accept
the bid of the Electric Light COM
pany or that of the Supply and Machin-
cry company. Yet the contracts have
been let to these two companies, whose
bids are $4,000 higher than the other
bidders. and who in addition to the
price of the contract are to receive the
dynamo. engines, piping, etc, Of the
present plant Of the borough.
The property so given away. 1t Is
claimed Is worth $4,000 The bids are
given in the bill of complaint as fol-
lows: For dynamos-General Electric
company, $3,175; Onondago Dynamo
company. $1,000. For engines. boilers,
etc-Scranton Supply and Machinery
ID Ipnss
Sc, $50.
What tho Petition Rccitcs.
The petition further recites that pre-
vious to the advertisement for bids
the borough was In possession of val
liable electric light plant. and the bill
contends that this has been disposed
of by giving 1t to the Scranton Supply
and Machinery company and the Gen.
eral Electric company. The plaintiffs
claim that no ordinance has been passed
authorizing the contracts. nor for the
issue and sale of bonds. nor has any
such action been approved of by the bur-
CESS.
The council caused specifications for
the engines, boilers and piping adver-
tised for to be prepared by Ellis Simp-
son. an agent and employe of the Scran-
ton Supply and Machinery company,
| one Of the bidders, says the petition,
and that such specifications were so
prepared as to call for such material
as could only be furnished by said COM
pany, thus preventing actual competi-
tion. and constituting fraud upon the
citizens and taxpayers of the borough.
In pursuance of such fraudulent speci-
fications the bid of the Scranton Sup
ply and Machinery company was large
ly In excess of the real value of the ma
terial proposed to be furnished, and If
the borough authorities are allowed to
execute and carry out contracts for said
material 1t will result in great loss and
damage and expensive litigation.
Hearing on Monday.
