Look Ont For Water Pirates.


We note In some OF our exchanges the
publication of notices of application for
charters TO be made to the Governor on
Feb. l. 1912, for the incorporation of the
"Tionesta Water Power Company"
There is strong suspicion that this is
ouly another attempt to gobble up the
water rights on Tionosta creek, and to ac-
complish by another way what proved a
failure last year through the strenuous
opposition of the people of this section.
The people OF Clarion, Elk, Forest, Jeifer-
son and Warren counties will have to be
on their guard or these rights will turn
These water power companies, so.called,
seem determined to grasp them If 1t can
<Ddone and they will accomplish their
ends unless the citizens rise in their
might aud oppose them at every turn.
The REPUBLICAN was active in its OPP
position to the giagautic schemes last
year and kept the public fully informed
as to what was going on, and for this
reason, no doubt, it is sought to punish 1t
by Withholding the publication of the
notices of application for charters, and
running them in other papers who offered
little or no opposition. All the same we
shall not be derelict in our duty, but
shall be loyal to our people whatever the
pecuniary loss to us. The publication or
Withholding of these notices shall not
close our eyes when the interests of our
people are in jeopardy.

Former TOwnsman Afflicted.

Many friends in this community will
hear with regret of the af1lction that has
overtaken. John Muenzenbe berger, our
former townsman, now residing at Chica-
go Heights, Illinois. He writes us that
on the "a of last August he had stroke
of paralysis which affected his left side.
For six weeks he was confined to his bed
and had to be fed like a child. He is so
far recovered now as TO be- able to walk
about, but his left arm is yet quite useless
and he fears he will not again be able to
do any work. However, John takes his
trouble philosopically, and keeps as
cheerful as possible under the circum-
stances. His son, Otto, was married in
June last and he notes an increase in the
family of his son Charles to whom q
daughter was born two months ago. Mr..
enberger encloses the following
clipping from recent issue of his local
paper, which will interest the friends of
the bride in this community:

power car, If rated at 48 would be $24,
II at 40 $2450. OF course there is
large number of cars that would
grade at IS horsepower, which would
figure out $3.50 as against the pres
ent rate of SIS.
1T Is impossible for us to see any
reason in grading any car at differ
ent rate horsepower, and there is no
other state in the Union that has done
this. 1t is absolutely unique. In con-
sultation with the highway depart
ment officials they tell me that some
low powered electrics would figure
out under the graded rating at $3.50,
where they are now paying IS, and as
matter of fact, the net amount re-
ceived by the state under this new
bill, according to the Highway COM
mission would be less than that re-
ceived last year under the existing
fees

Motorists Protest Against
New Scale Which Penal
ICES Power.
Automobiles in Massachusetts are

Automobiles in Massachusetts, are
new scale of fees for machines in
that state, and members Of clubs there
are working for a more favorable
schedule. In spite Of the new sche-
dule, by which some would be taxed
higher. there would be 80 much de-
probation with low powered cars that
an actual loss in revenue would re-
suit says L. r. Speare, president of
the Massachusetts State Automobile
association. The Highway Commits
sion of the state made the announce.
ment that the extra fees to be collec-
ted would amount to about $175,0OO.
He has addressed to members OF
clubs in his association a statement
of the case, which urges also that
action to combat the new rates be
taken. THE bill which has finally
been reported by the roads and bridg-
es committee to the legislature In re-
gard to the increase in registration OF
automobiles and commercial vehi-
cles," he says, "contemplates the fol

cents horsepower; 10 to 20, 40 cents;
20 to 80, so cents; 80 to 40, rs cents;
30 and over, 81.
1T will be evident to all automo-
bilists that this Is absolutely ridicu-
lous. In Col. Sohier's letter accom-
panying the Governors message he
states that a fee of 80 cents horse
power graded in multiples of ten
horsepower would have raised on last
years registration $176.373 more than
was raised. He also says the net
amount available from all sources in
the automobile department was s504.-
1862, and this would have made a to-
tai net amount available for roads of
$6SO.535.
Now then, the actual rate of 80
cents a horsepower, with a minimum
Of S. as the lowest fee would amount
to a great deal more money. 1t can
be fairly assumed that on this years
registrations it would amount to ap-
proximately $1.O00,000. That is, under
the suggested rate of so cents horse
power, at actual horsepower, instead

State Automobile association consid-
er this an absolutely impossible prop
osition, and it should never become a
law. After consultation with repre-
sentative motorists all over the state
we found that there was feeling that
the higher priced cars should pay a
little more than they have been charg.
ed, and therefore we suggested that
If the present law were to be changed
at all the fee be made SO cents horse
power, figured on the universal rat
ing, with a minimum fee Of IS a car.
This, it seems to me, would be much
fairer than the present jump in null

arrangement the larger cars would
pay a great deal higher price than
the small cars"
