VIVISECTTON BATTLE
STAGED AT CAPITAL
Senate Committee Will Hear
Argument Tomorrow on Ami
NAL Experimentation.

Advocates and opponents of vivisection
from every section of the State will be
present in Harrisburg tomorrow to at
tend the public hearing before the Senate
Committee on Public Health and SANTA
ton for a pending bill which will permit
hospitals and medical schools to pur-
chase dogs from city pounds for purposes
Of animal experimentation.
The bill was introduced at the instance
OF number of leading medical and vet
Urinary schools and colleges of the State,
which heretofore have had considerable
difficulty in obtaining animals for use in
experimental purposes. For the most
part they have been forced to purchase
the animals from boys who would steal
them or pick them up on the streets.
Under the terms of the bill the hos
pitals and medical schools will be per-
mtted to purchase dogs which would be
killed at the pounds for the sum of 81
apiece. Between 5000 and 5000 dogs are
killed annually at the pound In this city
alone The number of dogs used in the
schools does not nearly approach this
number
Opponents of vivisection are prepared to
argue against the bill on the ground that
It is inhuman and cruel to use dogs for
YtYisectlon purposes at any time, and,
further, that the colleges should not be
allowed to purchase the dogs for 81 apiece
when 1t costs the owners of the dogs 50
to rescue them from the pound.

non, chairman of the Senate Committee,

The great railroads of the United States
will extend s5oOOO,oOO according to prom
ises contained in kilograms from the
presidents of the most important roads
to the PUBLIC LEDGER, in response to a
canvass to ascertain the extent of return
ing business prosperity.
In addition to the announcement of the
proposed expenditure of this amount for
hetterments, renewals and new equip
ment, about cne-third of the railroad
heads responding to the request for a
statement reported signs of returning
business prosperity. Only few were
pessimistic in their view of probable con-
ditions next year.
The replies of the various railroad
heads came in response to the following
telegram from the PUBLIC LEDGER:
Pennsylvania System will spend S2s,
100000 in renewals and betterments this
year. Will your company eXpend
large sums in equipments or renewals
in near future? Is business outlook
good? Editor, PUBLIC LEDGER.
About 100000 miles of railroad systems
were represented in the replies Presi-
dents of roads covering $4,000 track miles
replied that business conditions for 1915
are promising. Presidents representing
about $4,000 miles reported the outlook
not good, The remainder were nom

AUTO OWNERS FIGHT
DOUBLED STATE FEES
Bill Would Make Pennsylvania
Registry Cost Highest in
Country, It's Enemies Say.

Efforts to enlist every automobile owner
in the state in fight on proposed law
which would double the tax on pleasure
and commercial motor vehicles will be
made by the Philadelphia Auto Trade AS
sociatlon and the Pennsylvania Motor
Association through the medium of news
paper advertising, letters and personal
appeal.
a bill, known as House bill No. 147i
providing that both pneumatic and solid
tired motor-driven vehicles shall pay fees
for registration exactly double those at
present in force, was introduced in the
House of Representatives at Harrisburg
on April Z. by Representative T. Lip
schultz. of this city. The bill Is under
consideration by subcommittee of the
Committee on Judiciary General, and is
being watched zealously by automobile
dealers and owners
The bill would work great injustice
to both dealers and private owners of
automobiles said j. f. Gomery. treas
urer of the Philadelphia Auto Trade Asso-
citation today, land we intend to fight
its passage to the last trench Auto
mobile owners paid into the revenues of
the state last year an amount estimated
at Sl700000, Both dealers and private
owners have paid heavy taxes hereto
fore without complaint, though they have
felt that unjust discrimination was made
in favor of horse-drawn vehicles.
Tho constant and increasing burdens
which are being loaded on the automo-
bile industry is sure TO react and in
affecting what is now the fourth greatest
industry in the country. Will affect ad-
versely vast number of workers"
According to members of the Auto
Trade Association, licenses for motor
vehicles in the State of PENNSYLVANIA
ara already as high as those of any other
state, and higher than the majority. The
proposed increase would place the State
in a new class for high registration fees.
The schedule of proposed registration
fees on automobiles as provided for by
the bill is:
Less than 90 horsepower, SO
More than 20 and less than S5 horse
power, 500,
More than So and less than 50 horse
power, $50,
Fifty horsepower or more $40.
1t was pointed out by dealer that a
small car of PSF horsepower, costing
500, which now pays a license of so u
year, would, under this bill, pay $50
year or per cent. of its cost.
