there would be no extra charge for
births, even though it be twins or

BIOGRAPHICAL MENTION

BROKER and Robert Stewart Join
the Silent Majority.
ISAAC GRIFFITH.

Died: In Lancaster, Tuesday,
July %, Isaac Griffith, aged 40
years.
Deceased was born in Lancaster
and the days of his childhood and
youth we're spent here, where his
honesty and industrious habits won
for him the esteem of all. About %
years ago he left Lancaster to seek
his fortunes in the far west. After
some years of prosperity in the
mountains he located at Basil, Mon
tana, where he engaged in mining
and where he remained until failing
health caused him to return to Lam
caster. Although not wealthy MS
industry had born sufficient fruits to
enable him to be of considerable as
sistance to his mother in her declin-
inc DAYS. That he was held in high
esteem in his western home is shown
by the fact that for a number OF
years he held the office of Justice OF
the Peace, finally resigning the Of
fee because it took too much OF his
time from his other work. Meeting
with a serious injury about two
years ago, since that time his health
had been poor. In March last he
returned to his old home hoping to
soon regain his health. All that
could be done for him by willing
hands was done but it's only effect
was to cheer his last days and
smooth the rugged path which lay
before him. On Monday morning
he sank into a semi-unconscious
state from which he never rallied
and the end came at 11:45 on Tues
day. Funeral services will be held
this afternoon.

After an illness covering a dura-

with much painful suffering charac-
teristic of that dread disease, con-
sumption, Miss Alice Cooley quietly
breathed her last at the family home
in the second ward Wednesday of
last week at 4:30 p. m. Deceased
was born in Little Grant, March II,
1879, and had resided in Lancaster for

the schools here fitted her for the
vocation of teacher and she pur-
sued this employment successful,
until her health became under
mined and she was forced to relin-
Quish active duties with reluctance
Funeral services were conducted

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Rep. J. X p Hall of the 2sth Penn
sylvania district sent bis resignation to
the Speaker of the House last week, for
the reason that he has been elected a
member of the Pennsylvania Senate,
He will be the fourth member of his
family who has represented Elk county
in the State Senate.
Representative Hepburn of Iowa has
ar ingenious plan to solve the trust
problem which he may bring before
Congress. He proposes as remedy for
the evil that prohibitive tax be placed
on the watered stock of corporations,
this tax to be levied and collected by the
machinery provided for the collection
of the internal revenues of the Govern
ment. This plan, he says, would an
nihilate that class of combinations
formed, not for the legitimate purpose
of trade or commerce, but for the sole
purpose of making money out of stock
values.
And this is exactly the form of trust
that causes all the trouble, declared
Colonel Hepburn in discussing the sub
ject. When you take away the
opportunity of the professional pro-
moter of getting rich simply through
the organization of trust, and the Is
suance of enormous quantities of stock
based on nothing but visionary dividend
earning capacity of the proposed enter
prise you will at once put an etfectual
end to such organizations.
'In my opinion prohibitive tax ON
the stock of every corporation which Is
not representative of substantial value
would wipe such corporations out OF ex-
istence and when that was done com
binations would be made only for the
legitimate trade advantage which it is
believed can be secured. Combinations
Of the latter class. in my opinion, are
not harmful.
las an example, take Mr.. Morgan's
steamship merger What motive did
Mr. Morgan have in engineering this
gigantic scheme through if it were not
for the great profit he could derive, not
through the legitimate business of ship
ping, but through the issuance of stock
based on the combination? If the mat
ter were analyzed it would be found
that Mr.. Morgan is not posted or even
interested in the conditions governing
the actual business of the navigation OF
the Atlantic ocean. He. as profession
al promoter, sees a chance to make
great combination on which a fabulous
amount of stock can be issued and sold,
and through which incidentally Mr..
Morgan will reap an enormous profit.
How would you put your idea into
operation?
Simply give the collectors of internal
revenue authority to fix value on the
stock of corporations the same as they
place a value on liquor and cigars.
Have the tax on the stock which did
not represent actual value subject to a
fixed tax This fixed tax in every in
stance to be sufficiently high to make
the existence of such stock impossible. "
The whole Pennsylvania Congression-
al delegation were at Senator Penrose's
dinner, Tuesday evening, and indorsed
John Dalzell for Speaker, but he with
drew in favor of Mr.. Cannon of Illinois;
after which the delegation indorsed
Cannon for Speaker, and Alex Mellow
ell for Clerk.
The New York delegation, also, in
dorsed Cannon that day, and his elec-
ton as Speaker is now assured.
