City Tax Rate For 1915
Lowered to Nine Mills

Nine mills, it was unofficially an
nounced to-day, will be the city tax
rate for 1915. 1t is now 91a.
The City Commissioners yesterday
decided this in executive session. An
other special meeting will be held at
8 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, when
the ordinance will be prepared for
second reading Tuesday. Mayor Royal,
it is said, objected to the decrease on
the ground that S22. 900 had not been
set aside for the sinking fund next
year. Commissioner Bowman pointed
out that sufficient had been set aside
to cover up until September 1, 1915,
and that If necessary enough addi-
tional money could be put back to in
cude the entire year to January l.,
1916.

Apparently to show his contempt for
risks, he subsequently came to Altoona
and stole an automobile. drove out of
town to where he had his converted
racer hidden, exchanged wheels and
speeded westward. With him at the
time was young Kaufman, the Chi
cago youth, who confessed to being in
the bank hold-up at Homestead a day
or two later.

Harlan Dissents

Chairman Harlan, while agreeing
that the roads have established their
need of additional revenue, declares
his entire dissent from the course
now approved by the commission for
permitting the carriers to augment
their revenues.
THE original record contained no
evidence tending to prove that any of
the proposed increased rates affect
ing trunk line or New England terri
tories were just and reasonable" said
he, land this deficiency in proof was
not supplied on the further hearing.
The record showed the financial CON
dition of the trunk line carriers gen.
orally to be much more favorable.
I'VE pointed out, however, in our
original report the sources from
which the needed additional net in
crease could and should be obtained
namely, by revision of rates and an
abandonment of practices found to be
unremunerative and wasteful.
"By following the suggestions made
in the original report the carriers
could undoubtedly secure more addi-
tional net income than the amount
estimated to accrue under the pro-
posed horizontal rate increase and far
more than can accrue to them under
the relief now accorded in the sup
Elemental report.
Il cannot but THINK that a general
increase in the standard rates of this
country, while the rate structures of
these carriers remain full of incon-
lsistencies, determinations and wrong
full practices that deplete their reve-
nues, is morally wrong; that the plac-
ing of additional burdens on interstate
commerce that is not also placed upon
state commerce is also wrong; and
that the course approved in the sup

disastrous to the carriers themselves
as it will be harmful to the general
Interests"
Commissioner Clements, dissenting
said: "I can but regard the action
now taken by the commission as out
of harmony with the spirit and pur-
pose of the law, and as taking a step

ciples necessary to conserve the ends

Not a single penny of expense for

resenting the fair value of their prop
erty devoted to serving the pubic.
THE fact remains that if the IN
crease in depreciation and betterment
accounts in the last fiscal year over
the average of similar allowances for
the five year period were added to
their net reporting income for the last
fiscal year, the results of operation
would still fall below q fair return
upon the amounts carried upon the
books as investment in property.
while there has been recently an
enlarged expenditure for maintenance
of equipment it is clear that it has
not been sufficient to restrict to proper
limits the number of cars and loco

tain an increase in net revenue
Through unduly restricted eXpendi-

The testimony shows that while

representations of the carriers in the
1910 cases, that without the increases
then sought their credit must totally
vanish, proved strongly at variance
with their subsequent experience in
the borrowing of many hundreds of
millions. But we do not doubt that
the financial problems of the carriers
have been made much more acute by
reason of the war and If we are to sci

GET RICH SCHEMES.
) From the Middletown TRANSCRIPT

From the Middletown Transcript.
If we are to judge by the thousands
OF people who are being daily swim
died by the numerous get rich
schemes that infest the country. the
American people are becoming parti-
cularly easy. Almost every large
city and town seem to be a fruitful
field for the swindlers operations,
and the poor dupes almost tumble
over each other in their effort to
get something for nothing or fabulous
returns for a small outlay, which any
ono Of average intelligence ought 70
know was a swindle without being ap-
prised Of the fact. Aside from this
the press OF the country is continually
warning the people Of the dangerous
character of those swindling opera
tious and publishing reports of the
thousands who have learned by dear
experience of the fraudulent nature
OF so many concerns in which they
have intrusted their all. We would
say it serves them right were it not
for the fact that the victims in many
cases are poor people who can i'll
afford to lose their daily earnings in
this manner.

THAT CONFERENCE MERCER.

From the Dover State Sentinel.
We have received a letter from a
member of the Wilmington NJ e. Con-

over our reference to the proposed
conference merger. He appears to
think that we made a general charge
against the conference. We didn't do
anything of the kind AS to the propo-
sition of merger We didn't either op-
pose or favor It. Our point was that
the movement originated among the
men whose work IN the ministry
seemed to be a continued seeking Of
a wider field and more pay. We men,
toned the fact that we thought We
discovered among the names Of the
men pushing this movement the
names of men who as sticklers for
documentary perfection in the creden-
tials of a member of the conference,
had been the cause Of the wrecking
OF Wesley NJ. r. Church of Dover.
We thought that was near enough to
indicate, If it was needed, to whom
we referred.
IL may be all right for ministers
to be on the lookout for''wider fields
of labor. and larger salaries" but Il
does seem to us that If there is any
truth in the claim that the ministers
are called of God to that position, in
that call must necessarily be pro-
vision for their living.
