EXPECT INCREASE
IN PRICE OF COAL
Tax In Pennsylvania May Affect
Entire Country.

New York. - Although the retsnI
prices Of anthracite coal may be IN.
creased 10 cents ton on account az
the new Pennsylvania state tax on thu
product. there is practically no chance
of raise before the first of next year
said dealers in this city.
The Pennsylvania legislature i'm.
posed tax of 21a per cent on the value
of all anthracite at the mines, expect.
ing that it would bring 100000 or
100000 into the treasury Of the
state.
Political economists agree that It Is
the consumer who pays the tax. The
fear has been that in addition to hay.
ing to do this the retail coal dealer
might utilize the new tax as an excuse
for jacking up the prices on the con-
sumner away above those actually war
ranted by the state levy. The tax Of
21a per cent on the value Of the coal at
the mines would actually amount to
about ) cents a ton of the smallest or
steam making coal and from 8 to 10
cents ton ON the larger or domestic
sizes, such as chestnut, stove and egg.

LAPoRTE'S PROGRESS.

Laporte is jumping up in the air
and cracking her heels over a new
S250,000 hotel and right well she
may. II there is anything that gives
city confidence in itself and makes
it hold up its chin it is a splendid
hotel. A good hotel is one of the best
assets and advertisements a city has;
a poor one is a black eye.
Incidentally Laporte has completed
and has under construction so far
this year a half million dollars worth
of business blocks and public build
ings showing that she is riding the
high tide.
Laporte suffered recently because

GOOD FOR SMALLEY.
Cheer up Laporte.

Irrespective of party or politics.
Mayor Smalley deserves commenda-
ton for his firm decision yesterday to
go ahead with the deep sewer project.
The majority members of the board
acted in the matter, but they are
the his appointees and he is held re-
sponsible for their action. The ques-
tion is the biggest one that has come
up in his administration and he has
answered it with the adoption of a
progressive policy.
At the present time Mayor Small
ley's chances for the campaign can
not be definitely figured and just be-
cause he dared to follow his convic-
tions in the matter without figuring
the political cost when a campaign
dation.
AS has been pointed out time and
again, the burden of the proof on
the deep sewer question did not lie
with the petitioners, but rather with
the demonstrators. They mustered
less than thousand names in the en-
tire city obviously not representa-
tive remonstrance. On that score
alone the administration was war
ranted to proceed, but as further ar
gument, it was presented with pc
tition of more than four hundred
names favoring the sewer, which the
oretically off sets the demonstrators
to just that extent. When it is borne
in mind that the petitioners represent
property interests many more times
larger than the demonstrators and
that they are willing to be assessed
accordingly another argument is add
ed.
The demonstrators have been IN
able to produce the only valid argu-
ment on their side, namely. that the
tproject is scientifically incorrect, and
not practical. Their principal mistake
was that they were divided among
themselves on the grounds for opposi-
| ton.

been free to criticise the administra-
ton adversely when it though this
best in the public's interest, is equally
as free to commend and approve, and
is particularly pleased to dc the latte.
now because it has for a long time
advocated the deep sewer system.

Men of the village of Plona petit

a cheap public cafe where they could
spend their evenings. The wives and
daughters objected and the petition
was refused.

HAS NO NEED FOR FEAR.

The interview by Jacob Schroeder,
member of the board of public works
of Hammond in this paper giving his
reasons for casting friendship aside
and voting for a deep sewer system
injuring his political future as enc
mics of the proposition say he will IS
classic. He said:
Il have given the study of the
needs of this city in regard to a
sewer system all my life for several
weeks. I have considered the mat
ter pro and con and while 1 know
/ have lost friends by it. for the
sake of Hammond 1 feel that /
would be violating a sacred trust
did 1 not vote for the deep sewer
system. / have travelled over all
this country and other countries
and 1 have never seen a city
amount to anything that was not
properly provided for in the matter
of sewage.
81 feel very deeply about this
matter. 1t is hard to be criticised
by friends for doing your duty.
But that duty is to the children
of this city and to unborn genera
tions. Personally L could get along
without a sewer, but our children
and their children can't. We must
build for the future needs of the
city. In five years those who con-
denim Mr.. Swanton and L for voting
for 1T now will be glad that we did.
If l wanted to cater to politics l
would have voted it down, but as
loyal patriotic Hammond man
