SUBJECT-"THE PROPOSED IN
COME TAX AMENDMENT TO
THE FEDERAL CONSTI-
TUITION"

Chester H. Rhodes, son of Mer-
chant and Mrs. A. l.. Rhodes,
Gouldsboro, and law student in the
Office of Eilenberger and Huffman,
the well-known Stroudsburg attor-
neys, won the Williams graduate
prize of $125 offered by Lehigh Uni
versity from which institution he
was graduated in 1910.
Mr.. Rhodes had for his subject
1.-The Proposed Income Tax Amend
ment to the Federal Constitution. "
In his discussion of the thesis he
opposed the ratification of this
amendment on the grounds that it is
defective and inexpedient from a le-
gal and political point of view. First,
it is dangerous to the States on ac-
count of the words from whatever
source derived" and, secondly, it
would logically be construed as null
lifying if interpreted upon the basis
of the law as laid down in the case
of Pollock " Farmers Loan and
Trust Company, 157 U. S. and 15S
U. S., the rule of apportionment
since land, according to that decis-
ion and the income derived from
land are indistinguishable for the
purpose of taxation. Furthermore
Mr.. Rhodes contended that the
weight of authority, both by the de-
cisions before and since the Pollock
case, upheld the legality and con-
stitutionality of an income tax, and

GREAT ENTHUSIASM PREVAILS
AT REGULAR MEETING; TWO
NEW INDUSTRIES MAY
COME HERE.

Honesdale is not going to the
bow-wows, but better, bigger and
Greater Honesdale is sure to come
and you can help make it prosperous
and progressive by being public
spirited. Feel that the business of
Honesdale is your business and as
sumo any responsibility that looks
to your towns betterment. All
work for Greater Honesdale. This
is the Board of Trades slogan and
make it your slogan, even though
you may not be member of this or
ganization. The prospects of Homes
dale are brighter to-day than they
have been in some time With the
possibilities of two new industries
coming into our midst it does not
look as if the town were going back
ward. Be optimistic in your views
and pay no attention to the pessi-
mist.
Since the organization of the
Board of Trade, last August, it has
been prodding along these lines, de-
spite what has been said to the con-
trary. The board, at it's regular
monthly meeting, held last Friday
evening in the council rooms of the
city hall, gave two hours of it's time
listening to facts and figures pre-
sented by parties from out of Homes
dale who contemplate locating here.
Enthusiasm prevailed at the
board meeting. Every member pres
ent expressed a willingness to work
and do all in his power to help in a
financial way when money is needed
to support local industries and as
sist in securing out-of-town con-
Germs.
After the visiting gentlemen had
retired from the meeting, President
F. w. Kreitner called for the read
ing of the minutes of the April ses-
sion, which were approved.
A report was asked from the NOM
mating committee, which was en-
powered to nominate five men to gov
ern the $4,000 emergency fund. In
the absence of Chairman R. J. Muir
ray, C. T. Bentley stated that the
committee had selected three men
and within a few days expected to
complete the committee. 1t was
continued.
Very encouraging reports were
presented by the committee on the
sale of stock of the Honesdale Union
Stamp Shoe company; also concern
ing the development of home indus
tries.
On motion of NJ. ]. Hanlan, second
ed by S. 7. Ham, seven new men,
bers were elected.
Under Street and Highway the
matter of allowing the material to
stay upon the ground in the vacant
lot near the armory, was discussed.
1t was stated that the street COM
mittee of the borough intended using
the material to widen the street near
the armory.
Bills amounting to S2S.40 were or
dered paid.

Two of the most terrific and de-
structive electrical storms to pass
over Wayne county occurred last
Saturday and Sunday evenings. De-
struction followed in their wake and
many hundreds of dollars worth of
property was damaged and destroy
ed.
The lightning was very sharp and
no sooner than one bolt had descend
ed from the heavens another follow
ed Immediately afterward illuminat-
ing the sky as if it were daylight.
The thunder crashed and many peo-
pie otherwise considered brave were
more or less affected by the storm.
Elsewhere we have mentioned the
destruction of the home of John
Reif1er, which was struck by light
ming, and burned to the ground
early Sunday morning.
At Cherry Ridge Christian Epley,
farmer, and his twelve-year-old
daughter barely escaped with their
lives. Mr.. Epley was cultivating
and the daughter was leading the
horse. Other children were remov-
ing bugs from potato vines. A bolt
descended from the heavens, striking
the girl, who besides her father and
horse fell to the ground. The horse
was instantly killed, but no trace
of the lightning could be found on
it's body. On examination the
girls arm was found to bear mark
the width of a finger from her
shoulder to little below the elbow.
Mr.. Epley was uninjured, although
at first it was feared that he had
been killed. The children who
were killing potato bugs happened
to look in the vicinity, where Mr..
Epley was working and remarked
that the horse and all were on the
ground. They gave the alarm,
neighbors responded and Mr.. Epley
and his daughter were carried to the
house. DR.. E. B. Gavitte, White
Mills, was called. Both the girl and
father are recovering from the
shock.
The showers in northern Wayne
were much lighter than those that
passed over the central and southern
sections.
At Fortenia the trees near the
home of Fletcher Coon, were up
rooted and considerable damage was
done to garden truck.

taking a tablespoonful full of mix
ture of iodine and belladona, by mis-
take. Young Quincy was suffering
from throat trouble and his mother
told him to go to the sideboard and
take out bottle of cough syrup. In
stead of doing that he took
tablespoonful of a mixture intended

composed of highly poisonous in

the dose his mother noticed his mis-
take and marched him down to DR..

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION METBO DON KNOCK $500 FIRE LSS
Reifler Home at Tanners
Falls Burned to Ground
FAMILY ESCAPE; $500 INSUR-
ANCE CARRIED; CAUSED BY
LIGHTNING; PIANO AND
SIDEBOARD SAVED.

Lightning struck the home of
John Reifler, Tanners Falls, early
Sunday morning and the building
was burned to the ground. Loss
about $4,000.
In describing his experience to a
Citizen man, Mr.. Reifier stated that
the storm was the hardest he had
ever seen. He said that owing to the
fact that two barns on the same
site had been struck by lightning,
he was uneasy about the destruction
of the barn now standing on the
same foundation. About o'clock
he and his son, John, Jr., got up and
watched the barn, expecting every
moment to see that it had been
strtck. The lightning was continu-
ous and most of the time it had the
appearance of day. After about an
hoGr Mr.. Reifler and son retired.
The family was awakened by Delcye,
a daughter, who called, saying,
Father, what's that smoker" Mr..
Reifler sprang from the bed and went
to the kitchen which was at the ex-
treme end of the house from where
the family were resting.
Going to the kitchen he discovered
that his home was on fire and that
the flames were fast eating their way
toward the roof.
Mr.. Reifler went to his sleeping
children, George and Robert, rescu-
ing them from the fire, which was
rapidly gaining headway on the main
building, the kitchen being an L to
the main house.
Neighbors were soon on the
scene, but what was saved was badly
damaged, it having been thrown
to the ground from the second
story windows. The piano and
sideboard were practically the only
pieces of furniture saved that were
not demolished.
1t is only by good fortune that
Delcye and the domestic in the family
did not perish in the flames. Had
it not been for the fact that Mrs.
Reifier, was in Honesdale, we
might be writing more sorrowful
account. The family, owing to the
absence from home of Mrs. Reifier
and hired girl slept down stairs,
something that it had never done
before The bedroom where the fire
started, was directly over the kitchen
and is invariably occupied by Delcye
and the domestic of the family. Had
tllc- been in the room it is doubtless
if either would have survived.
Mr.. Reifler carried $500 on the
house and $1,000 on the contents.
He had planned to move to Homes
dale this week, but was awaiting the
arrival of his daughter, Florence,
from college.
