LEGISLATURE NEWS
SALUS TRANSIT
BILL DEFEATED
Philadelphia Measure Beaten
in House After Long and
Bitter Fight

The Salus Philadelphia transit
bill, which Mayor Smith came here
from the Quaker City to put through,
was defeated in the House late yes
terday, but was an awful long time
dying. 1t was early this morning
when it was given what were
thought to be final strokes, but ef-
forts to resuscitate were reported as
about to be undertaken.
The bill came to a vote after a
breezy debate in which 1t was called
vicious and dishonest" and Mayor
Smith was roasted, Mr.. Aron ac-
cused of kidnapping" the bill being
the central figure. The bill was first
taken up out of order by 96 to 66
and then defeated by s6 to 50. 1t
needed 104. The Mayor and other
prominent Philadelphians saw it de-
feated.
An attempt to get the Salus bill
before'the House again was defeat
ed about 10 o'clock, when a mo-
tion made by Mr.. Lewis. Jefferson,
to reconsider the vote by which the
bill was defeated at the late after
noon session was voted down by "a
to "A. The motion was made after
the members of the House had in
dulged in the usual last night throw
ing of paper and cat calls, but some
were on guard.
Messrs. Aron, Philadelphia, and
Spangler York, spoke against the
motion, and Mr.. Reynolds, Philadel-
phia, favored the effort in a vigorous
speech. Mr.. Rininger, Blair, moved
to table the motion and a rollcall
was forced, defeating the motion.
Shortly after IL o'clock another
effort was made on motion of Mr..
Swartz, Dauphin, to take the Lewis
motion to reconsider defeat of the
transit bill from the table, but it was
defeated too.
The bills hackers kept at it, how
ever, and the next effort to obtain
reconsideration of the measure was
sprung in a sensational manner at
2.10 a. m. when Mr.. Rininger, Blair,
moved to take from the table the
motion to reconsider. Mr.. McNichol,
of Philadelphia, pushing his way
through the members gathered in
front of the Speakers desk, declar-
ed: Let the responsibility for kill
ing this bill rest where it belongs. A
million and half people have asked
=
to force and persuasion and trickery
and deny these people their rights,
go ahead and do it. Let the respon-
sibility be where it belongs"
The Speaker said he knew of no
trickery.
Mr.. Glass, Philadelphia, moved to
fix 10 a. m. for the consideration, but
was ruled out of order and renewed
it in the form of a motion to post
pone.
The motion to postpone was lost
and the House then defeated a mo-
ton to take the Lewis motion to re-
consider from the table.
The Speaker informed Mr.. Mill
iron, Armstrong, and Mr.. Golden,
Philadelphia, in answer to questions,
that a motion to take from the table
being twice defeated could not be
renewed. This had the effect of pre-
venting further consideration of the
bill.

now MUCH is SEVEN
BILLION DOLLARS?

Seven billion dollars! It's prac-
tically impossible for the average
mind to conceive such a vast sum
of money and yet approximately
that amount will be spent in the
United States within the next few
months. 1t is the purpose OF our
government to loan about one-half
of this money to our allies-to ex-
tend to them this enormous credit
to buy our northumberland the
and one-half we will need for our
selves to produce supplies and mu-
nitions for the carrying on our part
of this great war for humanity.
s7,OOO,O0O,O00.00 is such an unusual
figure that a few comparisons or
reductions to more familiar terms
will help us to comprehend its enor-
nifty.
100000, 100000 represents the es-
timated total wealth of the Domin'
ion of Canada. 1t is one-twenty-
seventh of the total wealth of the
United States. 1t is twenty times the
cost of the Panama Canal and three
hundred and fifty times the cost OF
the biggest battleship afloat.
If you had $100,000.00 stock OF
general merchandise and could turn
that stock by some unusual working
plan every three days it would take
you seven hundred years to make the
grand total gross receipts of your
business aggregate this amount. Al
1917 cents per yard for yard wide
calico seven billion dollars would
buy 1903 square miles of calico
enough to almost entirely cover the
states of New Hampshire and Yer.
mont, combined.
Seven Billion silver dollars if they
were stacked upon one another will
build pile 1886 miles high and the
same amount in pennies, if lait
down side by side would encircle
the earth, at the equator, more than
1923 times.
Seven billion pounds is 100000
ions-more than the weight of one
hundred of the biggest battleships
Of any nation.

1ears, nine hours and 50 minutes.
Seven Billion miles is 100000 times
he circumference of the earth's sur.
ace at the equator. The initial We
locity of rifle bullet, fired from ar
average gun, is about one-half mile 2

COMMUNITY COOPERATION.

Did YOU ever hear the story of the
len negroes who went out to hoe cot
ton? Nine of them started to work
in one field, while the tenth darkey
commenced in field all by himself
Just over the fence in the next field.
He hoed down one row and back on
another. Then he looked over the
fence and saw the swath OF nine
clean rows made by the other work
erS.
"Huh," he said, "nine niggers, nine
rows; one niger, one row. Drat
one niger"
And he climbed over the fence
and Joined the other nine. This is
pretty good illustration of the diff
ference between community team
work and trying to rely altogether
On ones individual effort. Where
whole neighborhood is pulling to-
yether to accomplish certain things
you usually find that success comes
out of the united effort. If you, per-
sonally, have joined in the commun-
lty effort, you have not only gained
your share of the good accomplished
out you have the satisfaction of
knowing that your work has helped
all the others. After all, then, being
actively interested in the welfare
Of your community is securing for
yourself a share Of the advantages
coming from the efforts of all those
who have helped make these advan-
lagos possible.
Do you realize what the commun-
ity in which you live means to you
individually? If you are in live
progressive community, it's ten to
one the town that is your trade CEN
ter is an "up-and-coming' place with
good stores, good streets, good
schools, good churches, and good
| places of amusement.
If your community is the other
kind, then manifestly there is lack
ing the spirit of community cooper
alton and your home town is tagging
oehind-listless, unprogressive.
At present your local stores may
not be as large, or as handsomely
equipped as some of the big city
stores, but you will agree with me
mat your home merchants can NOT
possibly enlarge or improve their
business if they are not patronized.
II you are interested in bringing
about better local shopping facilities,
it is squarely up to you, and other
residents of your community, to pat
ronlze home merchants, thus keep
ing your money where it will cir
culate in various channels for the
Improvement of the community.
There are only two possible rea-
sons why person should remain in
any certain town or community;
their duty demands it, or they sim
ply like to live there. Isn't this true
in your case? In either event, it is
to your distinct advantage to do ev-
erythlng in your power to assist in
improving local conditions. The
community belongs to you and your
neighbors, and you are necessarily
governed by conditions as they exist.
A prosperous community is in ev-
cry instance a desirable place in
which to live, as it affords its resi-
dents advantages which invariably
are limited to and controlled by the
amount of local commercial activity.
