PITTSBURGH
Personal Tax The Lowest
10 Years

Pittsburgh, June 20-Of 81 manufac-
turing cities In the United States,
Pittsburgh stands the lowest in tax
levied upon personal porperty.
Statistics compiled by the industrial
development commission from the lat.
est census reports, show Pittsburgh
enjoys an advantage over other indus
trial communities. While the valua-
ton ASSESSED on real estate in Pitts
burgh may appear slightly higher than
in few other cities, nevertheless the
local industries are not encumbered
by a personal property tax which in
some localities amounts to nearly 30
per cent of the taxation.
When the Pittsburgh manufacturer
pays the tax on his real estate his OBJ
legations to city, county and state prac-
tically are met. He is not Obliged to
pay large assessments on his ma
chinery and equipment. In this city
the personality tax on industries Is
nothing practically.
In Cleveland, with total assess
ment Of $40, ,OOO, 900 valuation, the per-
sonal property tax is $2OS,OOO, 900. In
Pittsburgh the personality assessment
was only $3,6S5,O15. In Baltimore.
which has a total taxable valuation
slightly less than Pittsburgh, the tax
on personal property is 1851, ,14SS35.
The law in Pennsylvania excludes
machinery and Industrial equipment to
the extent that manufacturers i'm this
district are offered exceptional op-
portunities. This Is more apparent
when It is pointed out by the Industrial
commission that Pittsburgh with its
total invested capital in manufactures
reaching $642, ,527, ,O46 pays personal
ty tax of about one and half per cent
that of Cleveland, and practically one
per cent of the tax levied In the Mary
land city.
Pittsburgh Is the only large indus
trila city in the country which enjoys
this low rate.

MONEY
Of Uncle Sam Is TO Be
'''"'' washed ,'"'' 80 q .s'. s''

New York, June 2O--New York Is
soon to have laundry for paper mon
ey. Such plant IL now in use at the
Treasury Department In Washington
and duplicate Is to be installed at the
sub.treasury In this city. The contriv-
ance takes soiled bills, washes. starch
es and irons them and gets them ready
for recirculation just as bright and
crimpy as new. The process is said to
effect an immense saving to the gov
ernment.
II Is expected that, In addition to
the sub.treasury, some of the larger
national banks will adopt the washer
and thus add laundry branch to
their establishments.
To be laundered properly bill
must 10 through three separate ma.
chimes, according to the description In
the current number OF the Scientific
American. The first step consists OF
inserting the bills into the washer,
with double blankets between them.
Each bill Is fed In between these blan-
kets, which holds them fiat In the wat.
or, and they 20 back and forth nine
times through hot suds. which contain
a bleach. Then the blankets go up
over q partition into clean rinse water
on the other side, carrying the bills
with them. After going back and forth
through the rinse water eight times,
they are blown of the blanket by an
air blast which comes through perfor-
ated cylinders. Through this washing
process a bill is obliged to travel one
hundred fifty feet.
As all of the stiffness IL taken out
OF the bills by the laundering process.
II Is necessary to starch them with
solution Of glue and alum. This proc.
| ess IL known an "sizing" the bills.
From the sizing machine the bills go
into the ironcr, which is an ordinary
collar and cuff ironer. such as Is used
In many laundries. In ten minutes
and at cost of but one-tenth of cent
the soiled bill cones out OF the laun.
dry fresh. clean and crisp.
For the present the government will
not undertake to wash any bills OF
the higher denominations, which con.
tain yellow ink. because the yellow
runs.

FREE SPEECH!

The attention given the arrest
and prosecution of Tom Watson is
taking wide range. If this one
should prove successful no doubt
others will follow thick and fast.
1t seems that our Republic and it's
accompanying institutions of liber-
ty have met the enemy face to face.
The indications are that there is GO
ing to be some wonderful changes.
Free speech whether written or
spoken, is one of the foundation
stones Of this Republic. The enemy
is wise enough to know that when
the foundation is shattered that the
building must fall. Hence the blows
that are being made.
The Guardians of Liberty is an
anti-Catholic association, and is a.
million strong and still growing.
In the State of Ohio this association
1noorsed the following resolution:
That we, the Guardians of Lib-
erty OF Cincinnati, Ohio, congratu-
late our brother and fellow citizen.
Hon. Thomas E. Watson, for ex-
posing the hypocrisy and supersti-
ton OF the Roman Catholic HER
archy, the deadliest Menace to our
AACC1 tlCo duU ClVIllZdClO0.
That we, the Guardians of Liber-
ty, think it is about time the public
press were printing such truths as
these with which our fellow citizen
is charged, and that it is about time
we were exposing the politicians
who are playing into the hands OF
Rome for votes.
That we, the Guardians of Liber-
ty, extend our sympathy to our
brother who has been uniustly per-
secuted for the stand he has taken
IN behalf of American Free Press.
Free Speech and our Public Schools.
That we, the Guardians of Liberty
are non-sectarian, non-poIitical
organization, but that we stand for
the complete separation of Church
and State in this country, and that
we particularly protest against the
diversion of any public funds or
lands to any sectarian purpose what
ever"
The above resolutions express
the sentiments of millions of peo-
pie. We do not believe for one mo-
ment that the people of America
Will tolerate the suppression of free
speech. The first law-gfyer the
world ever knew expressed the idea,
and our Constitution endorses it.
In Deuteronomy, 32nd chapter and
End verse, we find this beautiful
language: 'My doctrine shall drop
as the rain, my speech shall distiI as
the dew, as the small rain upon the
tender herb, and as the showers
upon the grass"
So Moses declared that his speech
should be co-extensive with the rain
and dew, and should be published
to the earth. The motto of everv
voter should be: Back to the Bible
and the Constitution.-The Head
