A TAX REDUCER.
Trees on the Highway Will be
Credited the Planter.
SUPERVISORS MUST REPORT.

Deputy Attorney General Fleitz
has given an opinion on the duties
of supervisors of townships in the
matter of keeping records to show
the planting of trees by the roadside.
The opinion is in response to a re-
quest from DR.. II. A. Surface, State
Economic Zoologist, who had for
warded a complaint from private
citizen. The act in question pro-
vides that "any person liable to road
tax, who shall transplant to the side
Of the pubic highway on his own
premises any fruit, or shade trees
of suitable size, shall be allowed by
the supervisor of roads or boards of
supervisors of roads, where roads
where roads run through or adjoin
cultivated lands, in abatement of his
road tax, 81 for every two trees set
out providing that the planter
claims 90 not exceed one-fourth Of
his road tax"

engines of the Susquehanna and

There is no other great nation
which allows the circulation of dirty
paper money as is the case in the
United States. The trouble here is
due to lack of law to compel banks
to have their soIled bills redeemed.
1t is only necessary to send them to
subtreasury, and the government
then pays the remainder of the ex-
pense. There are sufficient num-
Der of subtreasuries to enable the
banks to redeem their soiled bills
without much expense. Disease is
conveyed by dirty bills, but Congress
does nothing to stop the evil.

The awful blunder made by the
Spokesman eview-Acuff party in
the convention in refraining from de-
filming single issue in which the
people are interested has been dem
onstrated during the past two or
three days.
The blunder was due to the insist
ence of the tall tower and water
meter gang that nothing must be
said about water meters or the en-
dorsement of City Engineer Gills
plans by Mr.. Tanning.
But from now on it Is held that
declarations" letters, and tall tower
editorials may not be construed as
binding the tall tower candidate to
any policy after the election, as
Acuff, himself, will carefully abstain
from any official expression--and will
thus be in position to repudiate the
declarations" the letters and the
editorials.
That anti-water meter plank in the
democratic platform is making votes
by the thousand and the tall tower
tribe have finally consented to help
some" in order to fool the voters into
voting for the Spokesman Review
candidate.
So look out for a post-convention
platform" and an ante-mortem dec
laration."

Suddenly, after the democratic con-

Mayor Boyds Observation-Disclosures
thing the Spokesman-Review swal-
lowed with bad grace after having
vilifed the mayor for two years.
That Boyd endorsement was an aw
full jolt to the tall tower. But it
was either swallow the dose or lose
the rivets out of the Acuff collar
and the dose was swallowed.
Now that the opposition has a
clean, honest, fearless platform with
issues clearly defined, the Spokesman
Review-Acuff party has decided it is
necessary to issue "A platform
which is to be out Monday.
The platform" is to be a "declar-
alton of principles" to be written by
Nelson w. Durham. In ii will be no
