SUIT TESTS PUBLIC SERVICE
RIGHT TO PASS ON CONTRACTS
Williamsport Men Seek to Have APP
proval Clause Set Aside

HARRISBURG, Oct 29.-Abraham Fis-
cher, II, r. Ames and NJ. G.. Rhone, of
Williamsport, today brought suit I'm the
Dauphin County courts for a decree de-
claring that clause of the public service
act of 1918 governing the approval of
municipal contracts null and void The
effect of this is to attack the right of
the Public Service Commission to pass
upon contracts between municipalities or
individuals or corporations furnishing
public service of any kind.
The suit grows out of a contract be-
tween the Lycoming- Edison Company and
the city of Wiliamsport for lighting of
the city streets, following the decision of
the commission some time ago, setting
aside a contract between the Citizens
Electric Company and the city and direct
ing that the bids be readvertised, the Ly-
coming Edison Company being low bid
der as a result. The plaintiffs ask that
the commission be enjoined from taking
action on the contract,

MOMENT OF FRICTION
IN MOTHERS CONGRESS
Dispute Adjusted by Tactful
Suggestion of Mrs. Schoff,
of Philadelphia

PITTSBURGH, oct. 29.--This mornings
session Of the third days proceedings Of
the Congress OF Mothers and Parent
Teacher Association developed a rupture
that threatened for time to bring the
conference to n close in rather abrupt
manner. II arose out Of the fact that
the members Of the child welfare circles.
who have been members of the confer
cuce by virtue Of their work in child
uplft, were charged by members Of an
other branch of the convention, the Par
ent. Tea Chcrs' Association, with usurping
their scope Of work and going into their
territory.
\ charge was made that the Child We'll
fare Circle was organized in the inter
csts of a certain book concern for the
sale of books relating to the work. and
no member could be enrolled unless she
bought one of these books, The Con-
gress of Mothers delegates were nom
plussel for a while how to handle the
situation, and Mrs. Johnson, who was
presiding, had to rap for order many
Zines before she could get the convcn-
tion down to working arrangement.
Finally Mrs. Frederic SChCff, of phla-
delphia. president of the National Con-
gress Of Mothers, brought order out of
chaos by stating that both sides OF the
controversy were entitled to membership
in the big organization, and were also en-
titled to any field Of action they saw fit.
The child welfare faction then proceeded
to show their strength IN the convention
by eleCtlng Mrs. Eliza @. Fothergill, of
Pittsburgh, the first member and organ
i1cr of the child welfare work I'm Western
Pennsylvania, president of the Pennsyl-
vanla Congress of Mothers after which
several delegates of the Parcnt-TeaChers'
Association left the hall.
The convention ended this afternoon,
when Mrs. Fothcrgill, the new president,
gave a report of the work Of the child
welfare circles in this end of the state.

count Of the whistler, and that others
threatened to do the same.
Many of those who objected to the re-
moval of the fine declared that when
Dummer wasn't whisting he was making
n noise like a phonOgraph and an auto
mobile or something else The noise kept
them awake, they declared, and on warm
nights they had to suffer from the heat in
ordhr to escape the potpourri which
poured from the house of Dummer.
Although Dummer coutended that he
had no teeth and couldn't whistle, the
COmplainants said the absence of molars
did not affect him, and that he didn't
stop whistling long enough to eat
The Judge said the only remedy was
to have the man rcarrcsted and tried
before a jury. He removed the fine.

4 Costly Lesson in Bad Politics

A country in which each inhabi-
tant consumes an average of eighty
five pounds of sugar year, ought
not to treat the production of that
article as a matter to be fooled with
by a party with fantastic theories
and identified with a deficit that con-
tinues to pile up.
One of the most important tri-
umphs in agriculture. and in chemis-
try as applied to the practical needs
of the world, is beet sugar. 1t pays
German and French farmers to grow
the sugar beet, and factories in those
countries handle the crop at a good
profit.
They are both Protective nations.
If they had not been they certainly
would never have succeeded in grow
ing the sugar they use. There is an
increasing appreciation of the health
fulness of sugar, and it is a source
of energy second to meat. American
per capita consumption of sugar has
doubled within thirty years. Con-
gress should not allw the subject to
he tempered with by mere political
theorists.
Democrats like Mr.. Bryan are for
absolute Free-Trade. They have al
SO been for dollars very different
from the gold dollars We are now
gathering in from all continents and
handing each other in all transac-
tions. Beet sugar is plainly a pro-
duct that must be intelligently en-
couraged here, as it has been in Ger
many and France.
If the $6O,OOO.OO0 year from SUI
gar duties is to be looped off next
May, as the Democratic party has ar
ranged, the country will have cost

taxes at all.

taxes at all.
The report of the Kentucky Spe
cial Tax Commission (Decembei
1919 cites the fact that in 1912, OF
the $123,00O cash on deposits in tn,
banks in Kentucky, only 12,S47. S6S
or, little over ten per cent. was re
turned for taxation.
Mr.. Stanley did not state tina,
while the humble home of the small
taxpayer, the small farm of the mar
of moderate means, and the trusted
estates of widows and orphans are
assessed to the limit and made to
bear every possible cent of taxes, the
stocks and bonds and cash of the ex-
tremely rich in a very great degree
escape taxation altogether.
Mr.. Stanley does not seem to have
the time now to tell the people what
he thinks of this and what he be-
lieves ought to be done to induce the
millions OF dollars of untaxed person
al property to come from its hiding
place and help bear the burdens of
government and to reduce the weight
of taxation which now rests upon the
small PROPERTY owner.
1t is not the owners of stock, bonds
ETC., are unwilling to pay taxes on
this type of property. but no law has
ever been found which wiuld induce
men to list property for taxation at
confiscatory rates and until Kentucky
follows the lead of other States and
adpots wiser tax system. millions
of dollars invested in personal pro-
perty will escape taxation. Worse
still. outside capital will not come to
the State to help develop her re-
sources and the commercial prestige
to which the Commonwealth is Justly
entitled will be retarded.

have made AN honest and sincere eff
fort to correct evils" complained of,
but he seems to run counter to his
friend and party man. the present
Lieutenant Governor (Mr. McDer-
