On and after June railroad bag

A NEEDLESS ALARM

1T appears In spite Of all the dis
cussion and the great number Of bills
introduced in the legislature, as mat.
ter of fact there was but one act
passed which has any permanent ef-
feet upon the Smith one per cent law,
and this is the one which provides for
q levy of one half mill to carry out
the good roads policy advocated by
the state by the improvement Of GER
tain market roads throughout the
commonwealth" says A. B. Peckin.
paugh, new member of the State
Tax Commission, who was appointed
recently by Governor Cox.
The statement was made after Peck.
inpaugh had digested all Of the tax
laws passed by the general assembly.
It seems that there Is no cause for
the alarm that has been sounded In
behalf of the tax payers. Mr.. Peckin.
paugh says the levy for good roads Is
the only bill passed by the general a..
,sembly that has any effect upon the
Smith law, and that measure needs
no defense.
Regarding the tax legislation passed
during the recent legislative session,
Mr.. Peckinpaugh says: while there
are number Of acts which affect the
Smith law In slight degree, yet there
are only three which permit levies In
excess of the ten and fifteen mill limi.
tations.. The first Of these is the bill
providing for state levy for the con.
sstruction Of certain market roads
throughout the state. The second Ia
the bill providing for tho issue of
bonds for the repair Of damages caus-
ed by the recent floods, and, OF course.
the amount to be levied will be deter
mined by the extent Of the damage in
the different localities. The third Is
the bill providing that levies may be
made for restoring school houses
which have been destroyed by fire or
other casualty or have been condemn
cd by lawful authorities. The amount
OF this excess will be determined by
the local authorities In each instance.
or these three the last two are tenn.
porary only and were made necessary
by the great damage caused to public
works by the recent floods, and in
isolated cases to provide for the recon.
struction OF school houses destroyed
by fire or other casualty"

ONTO THEIR CURVES

The proposal OF the standpat Re-
publican party leaders to take back

The Lion was hungry and wanted

The Lion swallowed the Lamb,
when tho latter ventured over to him.
Republican standpat leaders would
have swallowed the Dull Moosers and

A clever trap was laid. II the Bull

was indicated In the tone Of the open
ing addresses. The Southern Pres.
byterians and the United Presbyter'
ians are to combine into one organi
cation before the end Of the present

hope is expressed on every hand that
this end may be accomplished within
very few years.
