PHTLADELPHIA'S BILLS
TO BE OFFERED TONIGHT

The first batch of the bills being prepared
by Mayor Smith and Councils 10 give Phia-
dephia a greater degree Of home rule will
be introduced in the Legislature tonight.
The principal measures are:
First. To take the power TO appoint the
members of the Board Of Revision Of Taxes
out of the hands of the Board Of Judges
and place it in the hands of the Mayor and
Councils,
Second. To give to the city the mercan-
tile taxes that are now paid TO the State
Third. To wipe out the state tax on mu-
nlclpal bonds,
Fourth. To put teeth into the personal
property tax act so that taxpayers VIII be
forced to make an honest return Of their
personal property.
Fifth, To place an annual tax Of 81 upon
milk dealers instead Of the perpetual tax
of S5. charged at present
Sixth. To assess adjacent properties for
permanent improvements
Seventh To give to the city excess
condemnation powers. so that It can take
over property adjacent to public improve
ments i'm protection against the invasion of
undesirable neighbors
Eighth. To give the Department Of Pub
lie Works at least advisory supervision over
new public improvements within three miles
of the city limits
The bill to place the Board Of Revision
of Taxes under the Mayor and Councils
would tend TO equal.ze assessments on real
estate, according to the sponsors of the
measure. At present the hoard is not ac-
eountable to any one. and the new measure
would have the Mayor appoint the mem
bers of the board, and give to Councils
power to pass ordinances forcing the hoard
to adjust assessments upon an equal basis
The bill to give the Department of Public
Works supervision over public improve
ments within a three-milo limit from the
city, would only give Philadelphia the same
privileges now enjoyed by second and third
class cities, and would he "a big gtpD to-
ward carrying out comprehensive plans.
The measures We're all drafted by the
Legislative Committee Of Councils They
will be taken TO Harrisburg hy Arthur r.
H. Morrow, secretary Of the committee
The committee viii meet again late this
week and discuss further measures that
will be recommended for passage in the
Legislature, The additional bills are now
being drafted by Joseph p. Garney, chair
man of the committee

BATTLE FLAG UNFURLED
BY KAISER'S PREACHER
Sermon for Rulers Birthday
Belligerent-Year Ago 1t Was
Appeal for Peace
Bu CARL w. ACKERMAN

BERLIN, Jan Where one year ago
Doctor Dryander. the quiet, whitc-haired
man. who IS court preacher. pleaded for
an hour for peace in tho services marking
the Kaiscr's birthday this year his sermon
was a fiery defense Of GcrmaHy's cause
and militant plea for Germany To steel
herself for the decisive battle every one
believes is coming. In this changed spirit
he reflected the sentiment Of the German
people. He said in his address at the spc-
Cial Cathedral service:
We know that before us is tho do
cisive battle which can he fought
through only with the greatest sacri-
fees But in all cases of the past God
has helped us and God will fight for VS.
today, through our leaders and our
soldiers. We neither willcd nor wanted
this war--neither tho Kaiser nor the
people We hoped for peace as the
Kaiser extended his peace proposal, but
with unheard of frvolity and insults
our enemies slapped the back of the
Kaser's extended hand Of peace.
To such enemies there is only ono
voce-that Of canuona. We continue
the war with n clear conscience and
with trust in God that he viii bring MS
victory God Cannot-Flo will not
permit the German people 10 go down.
Doctor Dryandcr's sermon was delivered
before an audience Of the highest mobiles
or royalty and Of oflclaldom that has been
gathered in a year-sincc his previous SER
mon on the Kaisers birthday The service
and the sermon were by far the most
Impressive and awc-iuspiring religious
services ! have attended here In two years.
Even Doctor Dryander himself was keyed
to hellgerent attitude as he clmchcd
his phrases by forCeful gestures
Near tho front sat American Ambaasado
Gerard in iuii evening dress, while nearby
were the other Ambassadors in their fun
court uniforms close at hand were the
Ministers Of Statc-ncluding Grand Ad-
mira Won Tirpitz Many other admfraIs
and high officials sat in the baronF. whilo
in the court box sat the Grown Princess
CcClle. with her young sons and Gcrmany's
mobiles,
As the Lords Prayer was rcad--as usual
there was emphasis laid on the plea,
"Glve us our daily bread"
As Doctor Dryander pronounced the bonc-
diction he prayed that his prayers wings
would take the peoples trustful greetings
to the Kaiser at the front"

SONS I'm favor uf a reduction TO Jersey city
n the dimorcutul to Philadelphia is rcla-

disaster to the grain commerce in Phla-

Mr. ,iran pointed out that 4 cent more
per busho is charged for loading by the
railroads at Philadelphia than in the port
ur Sew York These charges. he said, vir-
tualjy destroyed any d(fcrential
Mr. GrHtr began his testimony Ivy stating

An average cargo Of 100000 bushels
costs $500 more per day to load at phila-
d"lphia We load about 100000 bushels
