Two Ways for Paying Road Tax.

The Superior court of Pennsylvan-
ia in recent opinion written by
Justice Head declares constitutional
the Act of April -, 1908, best kno WI
as the new road law of Pennsylvania
and which provides for the election
of supervisors and the payment of
road taxes in cash. This act is held
not to conflict in any way with the
terms of the constitution, and declar-
ell not to be special or class legi,la-
ton.
Justice Head, in clear and unmis-
taxable language, shows that it ap-
plies to all townships of the second
class, placing them all under the
provisions of the act. The act pro
vides two ways of paying the road
tax-either wholly in cash or who'll
ly in work-as may be determined
by vote of the electors of any town
ship. Or rather the electors of any
second class township may by ma
iority vote decide to adopt the work
tax plan, instead of following the
plan laid down primarily in the act.

Union Pacific. His loss in this stock
alone was over s., 900, 200. A woman

Among the decisions handed down
at Scranton, by the superior court
was the affirmance of the judg gment
of the court ofpvmmon pleas of Brad
ford county in the case of +. T. Pease
VS. Samuel Doane and O. l.. IIaverly
terre tenant. 1t decided a most in
teresting point that heretofore has
had no ruling in Pennsylvania,
namely that the ownership of land
and the first mortgage against the
same mey be vested in the same per-
son, and that equity will not allow
the mortgage to be merged or cxtin-
guished in favor of subsequent liens,
where it is to the interest of the own
er to keep it alive. Samuel Doane
gave a mortgage on farm in Wind
ham township to Dr. f. +. Pease,
amounting to 81, ,156.S5, which was
entered as first lien. Latter Samuel
Doane transferred the property to
his father, Joseph Doane. Before
his death Joseph Doane, for the pro
lection of Pease, transferred the farm
to Pease, the mortgagee, and he
thus became the owner of both the
land snd mortgage. There was
another mortgage against the land Of
81 $50, entered by. the Athens Nat
ional Bank, under which the prop
ersy was sold by the sheriff. Pease
began suit against O. l.. Haverly,
cashier, and Samuel Doane to recov-
er and Judge Tanning held as stated
above.

greatly desired by J. Horace Nc
Farland, president of the American
Civic association.
No public demand made on the
railroads of the country has been
more universal in our day .than the
proposal of two cents per mile as a
maximum passenger rate.
The great body of the public is
unanimous on this issue. Every State
Legislature from Nebraska TO the At
lantic Ocean before which the matter
comes votes in favor of the change.
| is already in full operation in Ohio,
and the State RAILROAD Commission
points out that neither railroad fa-
cilities have been restricted nor rail-
road earnings reduced. The rate has
existed on the New York Central
from New York to Buffalo for half
a century. 1t is in operation in New
England.
In the face of this universal public
demand and this practical experience
captious opposition by fanny railroad
is serious error in policy. 1t may
bring worse than 2-cent fares. Con-
cession is better than obstinate re-
sistnance.
No Legislature should force 2-cent
fares on the railroads. Neither ought
any railroad to use threats in its OPP
position to this reduction. a railroad
has the right to lpoint out that the
change to 2-cent fares will, it is be-
lieved, reduce revenues SO that com
mutation rates may suffer; bnt 1T is
certain to work injury for its officers
ostentatiously to declare in a manner
and fashion that suggests a threat
that Communication rates will be
attacked if 2-cent fares come in. Itis
particularly unwise for the represent
atives of tho Pennsylvania and Read
ing to reach an agreement on fares
inside of this State, which will be
subject to action under the Sherman
anti-combination act if it affects any
rate to any place in Delaware or
New Jersey.
a great public movement extend
ing over the country calls for diff
erent treatment. On the surface, if Il
maximum Scent fare were just in
1917, 2-cent rate is not likely to be
grinding injustice sixty years later.
If "A man with $40 in his pocket for
mileage ticket can be profitably car
ried for , cents mile, why should
there be Il loss on man who buys
only a ticket ata time?
heterogeneous are not conclusive
but they show that it is mistake to
treat 2-cent fares as an attack on
property rights. AS IL matter of fact,
no one knows. The reduction may
increase travel and improve revenue.
| While presenting their side Of the
case, neither the Pennsylvania nor
the Reading can afford to place them
selves in position OF belligerant OPP
position to a popular demand.
The wise course is dispassionately
to present the facts, to urge conserv-
ative action and to profess a readi-
ness to obey the law and do the best
that can be done under it as expert
ence shows what its effects are.
For Pennsylvania to be the only
State in which the Legislature halts
this measure is certain to arouse a
public sentiment which in the end
will do harm. Press.

Harrisburgh by "Farmer" Greasy
provides for an Investigation of the
Standard Oil company, particularly
with reference to the methods ems
pIoyed by the monopoly in.the manu-
facture of its products. The purpose
of the proposed law is to prevent the
sale of low grade oils by the Stand
ard or other companies, and for this
reason the mearure should receive
the hearty support of the people of
Pennsylvania.
Much of the illuminating oils sold
to the public are low grade. Every
housewife whose lamp chimneys
have been blackene by the smoke
of the inferior oil will testify to this
fact. Not only does this impure oil
blacken lamp chimneys, but it is a
menace to the lives and property Of
the citizens and its sale should be
prohibited. "A law providing for the
thorough inspection of oils should
pass at the present session of the leg
islature.
In the house of Harrisburgh, Mon
day Representative Kie.s, of Ly-

Williamsport officer Murdered.

While Patrick Maloney, a member
OF the Williamsport police force, was
chasing ii burglar from the Mosser
tannery, at Newberry, at 8 O'Clock
"Wednesday evening, the man turn
ed and fired, killing the officer with
the first shot from the pistol.
The man was evidently trying to
gain entrance to the tannery and the
policeman became suspicious. After
chasing the man for short distance
and after coming close to the fugi-
tive's heels, Maloney was shot down
dying almost instantly.
On Thursday afternoon George
Nelson iof Newberry, was arrested
for the murder by Henry Page of
the fire department and officer Pin
eau. When ARRESTED Nelson was IA
walking arsenal, and two pounds of
dynamite, some fuse, add IA number
of railroad caps, Jimmy and some
cartridges We're taken from his per
son.
To escape capture Nelson had
worked way around the outskirts of
the city, and when he reached the
East End was almost exhausted.
Five shots were fired by him that
night, three of which took effect i'm
the murdered mans breast, another
went into Nelson's leg and he was
suffering from the wound when he
was captured.
Thomas Reed a partner with Mel.
son and "a penitentiary bird is at
large. He is wanted AS an accomplice
in the present crime. 1t is supposed
that when Maloney attempted to
take the two men, it was their inten-
ton to shoot. The Newberry bank

lately.

cd. ut was from such a fund the Leg

Athens Gazette Office Destroyed By Fire.

The Athens Gazette Office was bad

! and the wreck and disorder now

out of his front window about 8 o.
clock and saw heavy volume OF
smoke coming from the cellar win
dow. He rushed over and raised the
alarm, broke in the door and found
that the fire had started in the back
cellar and was already coming up the
south west wall.
The alarm was sounded and Mr..
Cook was Informed and he at once
ran from the hall to the scene of the
fire. AS he entered the press room he
stepped upon live electric light
wire that had fallen upon the floor
and he was Frustrated with the strong
current and fell to the floor insensibe
Chas. Walton of the news office and
DR.. Crawford were near him and
caught hold of him to pull him out
of the entangled wire when they
both received shocks. Finally Will
Schrier and A. S. Buckley, with two
others, seized and rescued him. The
current was so strong that it drew
him with tremendous force back on
to the wire as often as their hands
relaxed from their grip. The specta-
tors thought that he could not poss-
IDLY survive the shock.
The fire originated in the back
cellar were the stock of printing
paper was stored, but it is a mystery
how it originated as no fire had been
used in that place.
