FIRE BOARD HITS
BIG LOAN SHARKS
NO MORE ASSIGNMENTS OF
SALARIES ALLOWED
Commissioner HaWIely Wins the First
Round of His Battle with
Preying usury
Takers

Every member of the fire department
who has given anyone power OF attor-
ney to collect his salary must file re-
vocation of such power with the city
auditor within ten days or be sup1ect
to suspension or dismissal, as the nre
commission may elect.
This was the substance of new rule
adopted by the fire commission at its
meeting Yesterday ahd is designed to
loosen the clutches Of loan sharks from
the fire department. Every member OF
the department must hereafter collect
his own salary, and If he wishes any
one to do this for him he must get the
permission of the fire commission.
Revocation of these powers of attor-
ney is the simple and easy method OF
ridding the fire department of the IN
fluehce of usurers that Commissioner
Hawley had in his mind when he began
the crusade against loan sharks.
Through this new rule George Arnold,
"the city hall money lender" will not
draw the salary of any member or the
fire department the first of next month.
Every fireman will get the $50 month
the city pays him, ahd after he receives
it he can do what he pleases with the
money.
While no loan shark ever makes
any effort to collect by legal process,
as the usurious interest they exact
gives them no standing in court, they
try to make life miserable for their
victims when they do not receive the
last ounce of their pound of flesh, by
placing collectors on his trail day and
hight, dogging him everywhere he goes,
and in this way forces him sooner or
later to nav.

NAV Go Into Bankruptcy

But Commissioner Hawley said yes
terday that any man was justified in
going through bankruptcy to get out
of their clutches, and there were a
dozen lawyers in the city who would be
glad to put members of the fire depart
ment through the bankruptcy courts
free.
In order that loan sharks may never
again have such a strong hold on the
department, the commission adopted
another rule that any member of the
department who assigns his salary
without the consent of the commission
will be subject to suspension or dis
missal
That the department itself may not
be the cause of members getting into
debt, one of the old rules was amended
to give a fireman thirty-five days in
which to get his uniform after his ap-
pointment. The former rule forced a
fireman to get his uniform within
twenty days after being appointed, and
when he was appointed the first of the
month he did not have a pay day before
he had to pay for the uniform. That
made it necessary for some OF them to
borrow money from loan sharks, and
once in the tolls they seldom got out.
Nearly every other department OF the
CITY has resolved to follow the exam
ple of the fire commission and will pass
a similar rule, so that in few weeks
the name of George Arnold and other
money lenders will not be signed to the
city pay rolls in hundreds of places, as
has been the case every month for
anany wears past.

When you are sick and in need of
a physician, when you are in trouble
and want good advice, when you are
building and desire skillful work
men you naturally turn to men who
have not only ability but expert
ence. This is wise and good busi-
ness precaution. Many States and
districts, Congressional and represen-
tative, recognize the wisdom of re-
tanning men who have energy and
experience to represent them. A
man without acquaintance, without
skill and without experience, is at a
great disadvantage among those OF
his fellows who possess these require
ments, and.caunot give his constitu.
ents the same value in services as
other districts represented by the
men who do possess them. Some
districts in this State have been
for years represented by the same
men until their power and influence
is felt and known throughout the
country, We have said, and repeat,
that if this Congressional district is
TO be represented by Democrat it is
wise to send a man of ability, no
matter from which Comfy, and keep
him there, That only by so doing
can we have weight or influence. We
will be far better served by one who
has learned the ropes, than by send
ing green man who, no matter
what his ability, has no acquaint-
ance and no influence.
The same arguments prevail in the
case of Mr.. Marvin. He has twice
represented the County and both
times, within reason, has fulfilled his
promises. He is well known at Har-
rlsburg and is recognized as having
influence. He has been appointed on
important Committees and in all re-
speots has served his constituents.
without respect to party faithfully
and well. Is it business policy and
sound Judgment to send a new, un-
tried and inexperienced man? Do
you honestly believe that he could
serve you as well and successfully as
Mr. Marvin no matter how good his
intentions or earnest his efforts. he
would be with the minority and mi.
norities seldom prevail. Look at
this matter in the same way you
would business proposition and
then vote as good sound judgment
dictates.

COST OF POWDER
 REDUCED

In order 10 aid in the development of quartz properties in the Panama valley. the Northern Commercial Company and Messrs. Brumbaugh. Hamilton X Kellogg have decided to make sweeping reductions in their charges for blasting powder.
 For the remainder of the summer and throughout the coming winter, these firms will sell giant powder No. ? at the low rate of s10 for q 5o-pound ease. or al the rate of 2o cents a pound when a case is taken.
 The price of fuse has also been reduced to sl a hundred feet. and blasting caps are reduced to s1.5o per box of loo caps
 This concession will only be made to bona fide miners as the firms granting the reduction have no inten, ton of letting the powder supply be cornered by spectators.
 This concession to the quartz men brings the price of powder down to within a cent or two of the outside rate. and will be much appreciated hy many who are eXpending their resources in the development of their quartz prospects.
