The workingmen of Spain are OBJ
jecting strenuously to the pending war
with Morocco. They foot the bills,

all too frequently have nothing to say
as to whether there shall be war or
not. Whenever the common people
set their faces like flint against war
it will cease, and probably not before.

But ours is the dual system, and

consumption, while State, county, mu-
nicipal, and township taxation is bas-
ed on wealth, except in special license
Ito conduct certain lines of business
and the poll tax; and if Federal tax
alton were equitably laid on consump-
tion-and it is Motive would hear
nothing about Federal taxation upon
wealth.
This proposed corporation tax is
manifestly unpopular, though man has
not yet been endowed with the genius
to make tax that is not a hardship,
and that is why the purest patriots the
world has produced have always been
jealous of the taxing power, and also
that is why indirect taxation so gem
orally prevails.
1t is now declared in some quarters
that the prime incentive to a corpor-
alton tax is not for revenue, arising
from excise, SO much as to put all cor
porations with net incomes of more
than $4,000 under the scrutiny and
subject to the regulation of the FEEDER
al establishment. If that be true, the
thing should be discussed and DELHI
Grated upon in Congress and out of
Congress for at least two years. 1t
should be a paramount issue in at
least one biennial election, for it
means Federal consolidation with
thousands of additional officials and
espionage with tens of thousands of
spies and informers.
1t calls for sage council and wary
walking.

The requirements OF the law that was
passed by the recent Pennsylvania
State Legislature compels the Bijou
and Wonderland nickelodeons Of Reyn-
,oldsville to close up because the pro-
prietors cannot comply with the
law in the buildings they occupy.
The law requires steel cage
for the machines, centre and
two side aisles, each of a width of not
less than four feet in the clear, and a
continuous and unobstructed passage
way to the main exits,
M. M. Fisher, proprietor of the Bijou,
will erect one story brick, 50x so feet,
this summer, in rear of the Bijou,
which will comply with the require
ments OF the law and will give him a
large room for picture shows and other
and more expensive shows. The room
now used for nickelodeon will be fixed up
for store room and the room now occu-
pied by Rogers cigar store will be used
for an entrance into the new nickel
odeon or playhouse. The building will
be erected with the view of some time
later putting in galleries and making it
an up-to.date theatre. Mr.. Fisher owns
fifty-six feet front and will not have to
buy the land from some other parties
for his new picture show building.

Wanted On Charge OF
Robbery.
IS NOW IN BROOKVILLE JAIL

Charles Guyer and Michael Single
bach were taken to the county jail Mon
day afternoon on charge of robbery pre-

Vile. The robbery is supposed to have
been committed at the home OF Mr..
Singlebach on the night of April II,
1909. The plaintiff claims he lost
$500. A warrant was issued at the
time, but Guyer skipped and the case
was, apparently, not given any special
attention until last Friday when Con-
stable w. W. Higgins went to Kittan-
ming and arrested Guyer and brought
him to Reynoldsville that evening.
Monday fornoon Guyer and Singlebach
were given hearing before Squire
Neff and as it is not bailable offense
the two men were taken to jail,
1t it is claimed that the money was
given to another fellow to return to
Mr.. Reekie and that he kept the
money and spent it, and he, too, will
be implicated for receiving and using
stolen money.

Rey. Charles E. Rudy, pastor Of the

his work at this place last Sunday,
made very good impression with his
congregation, and things look favorable
for a successful pastorate here. He is a
genial and pleasant gentleman. June
has been busy and somewhat exhilar-

never forget, for in this month he
graduated from the Lutheran Seminary
at Philadelphia, was ordained to the
ministry, married a wife, moved to
Reynoldsville and began his FIRST work
as regular pastor OF church.
