Many Cities Require
Indemnity Bonds For
Operators of Jitneys

Whether or not legislation will be
offered in City Council in the very
near future requiring jitney drivers or
owners to file indemnity bonds or liza
bility insurance is considered doubtful
in municipal circles In view of the
fact that the convention of the League
of Third Glass Cities Of Pennsylvania
at Reading decided to await the re-
suit of the appeal from Philadelphia s
Jitney ordinance before acting off,
cially.
Harrisburg requires only the So
license fee for jitneys, although in
many other cities they are regulated
by law. In Denver and San Antonio
the jitneys must be franchised like a
trolley company. Among the cities of
the United States which now require
the jitney owners or drivers to file an
indemnity bond as a protection to pas
sengers are Oakland. Ogden, San Diego.
Boise, Grand Rapids, Lincoln, Fargo,
Oklahoma City, Port Arthur and Sher-
man. $4,000; Atlanta, Buffalo, Fort
Worth. Los Angeles. Louisville, New
Orleans. Pasadena, Salt Lake City, San
Antonio. San Francisco, Augusta.
Hutchison. Flint, Youngstown, Mid
dletown, Conn, Ell Paso, Waco, Gal
weston, $4,000 Spokane, Tacoma.

War Orders Are Saving
Business in the East

Washington, D. c., Sept. 8. - The
buoyancy of the West, where eevry line
of business and industry is responsive
to the tremendous crops now being
harvested. is not shared by the East
according to the reports on business
conditions by the Federal reserve
agents of the New York, Boston and
Philadelphia reserve districts, pub
lished in the Federal reserve bulletin
to-day.
These reserve agents are of the
opinion that for the most part pros
porous conditions still are confined
to the industries which are affected
by war orders and that many spots"
remain in the business fabric as q
whole.
The reports from the Eastern dis
tricts note number of encouraging
tendencies such as the taking on OF
life by building operations, crop con-
ditions and buoyancy of special in
dustries, but they agree that the pros
perity of the industries which have
been buoyed up by emergency orders
has not yet become general.

BAND CONCERTS AT
PAXTANG ON MONDAY

The next and last big event of the
season at Paxtang Park will be the
two free band concerts by the Tyrone
Band at the park theater on Monday.
The Tyrone Shopmen's Band, under
the leadership of ]. P. Potteiger, has
become one of the leading concert
bands of the state and 1t is seldom
that one has the privilege of hearing
them without paying for it.
Three soloists of high repute will
appear on the Monday programs.
They are Mrs. Emma Bassler, soprano;
Edmund c. Hall. clarinet, and Leroy
Hildeman. trombone. These special
features. together with the fine pro-
gram arranged for the band, will
probably make one of the best free
band concerts the town has ever had.
The vaudeville program at the park
theater this week is one of the best of
the season. The bill is headed by the
Milani Opera Troupe, a high-class
singing offering that has but few
equals on the vaudeville stage, while

TAFT PLEADS FOR
STRONGER DEFENSES
Urges Larger Army and Navy and
Says Wilson Should Be
Congratulated
By Associated Press

San Francisco. Sept. s.-Ex-Presi-
dent Taft advocated preparedness for
war yesterday, illustrated its neces.
sity and detailed the means to that
end in an address at the Panama
Pacific Exposition, delivered at Taft
Day" exercises. Mr.. Taft, who broke
ground for the exposition four years
ago, again took theN silver spade he
used then and planted a California
redwood tree in Taft Circle" A sill
yer loving cup was presented him.
Inc acquiescence of Germany to the
United States contention for the rights
or noncombatant citizens on CONNER
cial liners of belligerents should be
the cause of profound rejoicing by
every patriotic American and the oc-
casion for congratulation to the Presi-
dent" said Mr.. Taft THE recent
news from Washington shows that the
nrm attitude of President Wilson in
maintaining the rights of noncombat-
ant citizens has been acquiesced in by
Germany. This must relieve the
strain between the two countries. The
shadow OF a serious breach passes.
1t should not. however. lead our
people away from their duty of rea-
sonable preparation. The incident,
though closed, we all hope, except as
to idenmity for the lives of those al
NAONilSd, bHOWS now near, as
neutrals, we are to the war.
Sums up Preparation
In summing up what he regarded
as necessary preparations. he said:
First. An increase of our navy
tonnage as rapidly as possible by 80
per cent. and an immediate increase
OF the personnel of the navy by nearly
20, 600 sailors and 900 officers
Second. An increase in ammunition
for our great coast defense guns, the
making of few 16-inch guns and the
condition OF the defense OF the Chesa-
peake at Cape Henry. In addition, an
increase of 10000 trained coast artil-
lerymen and 500 officers to man the
coast defenses properly.
Third. An increase in our regular
mobile army of $4,000 troops and a
quadrupling of the supply of educated
military officers. We should adopt a
reduced term of enlistment, with in
ducement to the formation of a re-
serve of trained men,"
Mr.. Taft then pointed out that the
Treasury of the United States is not in
a condition to warrant such expendi-
lures. He suggested that expenses
could be cut down by giving authority
and responsibility to one body of men
to consider the whole field of Gov
ernment income and expenditure.
