FIGURE ON State REVENUE
Fiscal oficers Confer On Ways and
Means of Increasing Taxes to
Meet Appropriations

a conference was held this afternoon
among State officials interested in the
gathering and disbursing of State rev.
enues for the next two years, with a
view to arriving at an understanding
of just what the State will receive and
what it can afford in the way of ap-
preparations.
There were present Governor Brum-
baugh, Auditor General Powell, Presi-
dent pro ten Kline, Speaker Ambler,
Senator Buckman, chairman of the Sen.
ate Appropriations committee and Rep
resentative Woodward, chairman of the
House Appropriations committee.
1t is recognized that the present
revenues of the State have been de-
pleted by business conditions and that
to go ahead without arriving at some
understanding of what will be taken in
during the year might lead to disaster,
especially if the regular biennial raid
ON the treasury by applicants for ap-
propriations were permitted.
That there will be no revenue from
the tax on anthracite coal this wear is
an admitted fact, for the reason that
the eonstitutionality of the bill taxing
anthracite is yet being tested In the
courts, with no prospect of adjudication
finally before the next year. which
means nothing from that source in
1915. -
There is proposition to tax blum
inous coal, which may be accomplished
through legislative enactment. 1t is
also proposed to tax real estate one
mill on the dollar according to county
valuation, but already this proposition
is being met with opposition rrom the
cities, which claim that in the event
of the taxation of improved real es-
tate the cities would pay the bulk of it
and the rural districts virtually escape.
The rural districts are also opposed
to any kind of tax on real estate. and
the entire project is not favorably re-
ceived.
Another proposition is to restore the
payment of personal property tax to
the State, all of it now going to the
counties There are numerous other
propositions for taxation to raise reve-
nue., but the above are the ones that
will be more carefully considered and
any agreement arrived at will be en-
bodied in a bill to be presented in the
House, where all revenue bills must
originate.

MOTHER JONES INVITED TO
VISIT ROCKEFELLER. R.
Aged Strike Leader Accepts and VIII
Place Before the Millionaire All
Information She Possesses Concern
ing Colorado Mine Troubles
BIZ Associated Press.

New York, Jan. 26.---John ID. Rookie
feher, Jr., to-day invited Mother Jones,
the aged strike leader in the Colorado
coal fields, to visit him and place be-
fore him all Information as to the
strike situation there. The invitation
was accepted
The invitation was extended by Mr..
Rockefeller as he entered the room in
the City Hall where the Federal Com
mission on industrial Relations is con.
Quoting It's inquiry into the philanthrop-
&c foundations and the causes of indus
trial unrest
As he walked from the door to the
witness chair he saw Mother Jones sit
ting among the spectators. He stepped
to her side and shook hands.
II wish You woulh come to see me
and give me any information you have
on the Colorado situation,'' he said.
That S very nice of you,' she said,
81 have always said that you could
know but little of the conditions of the
workers in Colorado and that you
should hear something else besides
what these hirelings tell you.
After Mr.. Rockefeller took the stand
Chairman Walsh read letter written
by Mr.. Welborn (president of the com
pany) to Starr J. Murphy, of the per.
sonal staff of John d. Rockefeller, Sr.
In the letter Mr.. Welborn said that q
clergyman at Sunset had made some re-
marks detrimental to the company and
that it had been suggested that the
clergyman be removed. Although the
clergyman had ''made indisereet re-
marks and had s0eialistie tendanrias y,
Mr.. Welborn wrote that he hesitated to
remove him.
As citizen, Mr.. Rockefeller said he
believed all clergymen should be free
to say what they please. 1t was brought
out that the clergyman in question hae
been severe in his criticism of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company in
connection with the conflicts at Ludlow.

BRYAN SREPLY TO SENATOR
STONE SATISFIES times"

London, Jan. 26, las A. M.-The
Times to-day in an editorial on
Secretary 5 Bryan's reply to Senator
Stone regarding the American govern
ment on questions raised by the war,
says:
1t will be read with satisfaction
by all unprejudiced champions of neu-
trail rights. The pro-Germans now have
their answer and have probably real
lzed their extreme unwisdom in formu-
lating their grievances.
Secretary Bryan has demonstrated
beyond controversy that the charge of
favoritism toward the allies is utterly
untrue and has swept away once for all.
the whole mass of German and pro.
German factions and placed the Ameri-
can people IN position in which we
particularly wish them to be-a posi-
tion TO know and Judge the facts of
themselves. There are certain points in
which the American and British law
on these subjects differs, but broadly
speaking the doctrine laid down by Mr..
Bryan is the doctrine of our own
courts.
Perhaps the most triumphant of
SSretary Bryan's replies is that in
which he refutes the charge of general
unfriendliness toward GERMANY and
her allies.
Secretary BFyan's defense of
American neutrality can be unpalable
only to those who wish to see it sur.
reptitiousiy infringed and altogether
his letter eommends itself to Us as an
admirable exposition of a policy which
becomes the greatest of neutral peo-
pies"

CENSUS OF THE UNEMPLOYED
Work Begun in New York May Be Ex-
tended to All Cities of
United States
By Associated Press.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The census
of unemployed. begun in New York
under the direction of the Department
of Labor, will be extended to all cities
if arrangements can be made. President
Wilson told callers to-day that as far
as possible the detail work of the cen
sus would have to be carried on by
local municipal authorities because the
government has no special appropris.
tion for the work and did not expect
to ask Congress for one.
The President expressed the opinion
that the number of unemployed was de-
ereaSing because new avenues OF EN-
ployment were being opened. Estimates
OF the numbers of unemployed in the
country were largely guess work, he
thought and in many instances very ex.
travagant.
Municipal lodging houses in New
York are not full, the President said
he had been informed. and the immi.
grafton station at Ellis Island, which
has been opened to unemployed, is not
being used for that purpose extensive
ly. Tne President said to-day those
facts convinced him that there was not
as much distress from unemployment as
had been pictured.
The President believes there is n gen.
eral betterment in business conditions.
He said there was no depression in the
West and that the situation in the
South and East was improving.

The court last year refused to grant a

stranees had not been fled all were
granted by the court.
H. W Gill, the owner of the Mt.
Holly nm, had applied for the liquor
license this year. D. s. Souders for
years had conducted the hostelry and
it was argued by ellis attorneys in

STRANGE was inspired by Souders, who

CAPITOL HILL
RECESS APPOINTMENTS OF
TENER STILL HANGING FIRE
VIII Be Subject Of Conference to Be
Held in Philadelphia by Senators
After the Legislature Adjourns for
> the Week

Talk among Senators to-day was to
the effect that the question of taking up
the Governor Tener recess appointments
has not yet been decided, but will be
the subject of conference in Philadel-
phia during the recess this week. 1t
was held that it will not he necessary
should Governor Brumbaugh desire to
appoint others than those sent in by
Tener for him to withdraw the names
in the hands of the Senate Committee
on Executive Nominations, but all he
will have to do, if he takes action look
ing to the appointment of others, will
be to send in other names for the com.
mittee's consideration, ignoring those
sent in by Tener. 1t has always been
customary on a new Governor taking
his seat for him to withdraw nomina.
tions sent in by his predecessor pro-
viding they did not suit him and he
desired to nominate others, but it is
held that this was merely precedent
and not governing rule. If this is
adopted it will not be necessary for
Governor Brumbaugh to withdraw the
nominations for Public Service Commits
sioners or the other appointments made
by Tener. The nominations Of William
II. Smith for Commissioner of Banking,
and Major John B. Groome for super.
intendent of State police. are also be.
fore the Senate committee, which has
thus far taken action ou no appoint
ments.
