STATE NEWS

II. c. Preston, member Of the state
tax commission, is of the opinion that
real estate taxes must necessarily be
boosted during the coming year under
the terms of the new amendment. The
tax commission, il is said, has prac-
tically arrived at a decision to recon-
mend to the legislature that private
homes and Improvements up to $4,000
shall be exempt from tax, provided.
Of course, that the home is not used
as a source of revenue, but is occu-
pied by the owner himself. The
amendment gives the Legislature the
right to make such an exemption, and
a recommendation from the tax com
mission, which has been making an
exhaustive study OF the situation, IN
doubtedly will be followed by the leg
islature. Exemption of such a class
of property, it is said, would create a
large deficit, which would have to be
met by an increased tax on other
property, and it is believed the land
itself would be called upon to raise
the bulk OF this deficit. Moneys and
credits, too, are affected under the
new amendment, and the tax on them
will be standardized throughout the
state.

MOTOR CARS NECESSARY

There is no doubt that the motor
car is a necessity in business and civil
life today. Neither IS there any doubt
that it is equally necessary in the mil
tary service of the United States, both
overseas and on this side.
The Quartermaster Corps, the Avia-
ton Section of the Signal Corps, the
Ordnance Department and other Sec
tons of the army are using hundreds
of motor cars and motor trucks, and
adding great numbers to the fleets al
ready III service here and across the
Atlantic.
Though the government has asked
that manufacturers curtail their pro-
duction of passenger cars for civilian
use, there has been ON curtailment so
far as military cars are concerned.
These are leaving Detroit factories in
great fleets. being driven overland to
army camps or to Atlantic seaports
for shipment abroad.
The army has taken a leaf out Of
the book Of civilian life, and quickly
learned that efficient. economical
transportation of men and materials,
and rapid communication between dis
tant points. is best accomplished by
motor vehicles.
One of the first factories in Detroit
to produce cars for army use was

ton Is now moving at top speed. and

WEDDING GIFT TO POOR

(From Lloyd's News, London)
The lord mayor has received the
following letter from Lord Stam-
fordham:
Dear Lord Mayor: The king and
queen are greatly touched by the
generous wish of the city of London
to commemorate their majesties'
silver wedding by presenting them
with a. gift to be devoted to any
charity selected by themselves.
Their majesties also much appre-
ciate the expressed desire at the
same time to offer for their accept
ance a small individual memento.
While the king and queen feel that
during this time of war nothing
should be diverted from charitable
purposes, they are led to make an
exception, but only in the case of
the capital of the empire. Such a
personal gift will be handed down
to posterlty as a precious token or
the affection of its citizens on the
occasion of the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of their majesties' happy mar
ried life"
The date of their majesties' silver
wedding is Saturday, July 6. The
silver wedding fund Is now open and
subscriptions may be sent to the lord
mayor at the Mansion House or paid
into the account of the fund at the
Bank of England.

MET SIR WALTER SCOTT

The Rev. John Douglas, said to
have been the only living person in
America who had seen Sir Walter
Scott alive, died recently. He was "a
years old and had been a resident of
Minnecota for fifty years.
On his 9Sd birthday, September
IL, 1915, Mr.. Douglas described in
detail his seeing the author of the
Waverly novels in 1881. With his
father, the Minneapolis man was
driving in an fashioned, high
seated, rickety gig along a road near
Abbotsford, Scotland, when "a funny
looking little man with a queer
Scotch bonnet on his head and
gnarled stick in his hand" hailed
them.
Mr.. Douglas father checked his
horse and chatted with the man for
fifteen minutes. Afterward the
youngster was told that the little
man was none other than the noted
author. During the last twenty years
persons who could boast of having
seen Scott alive have become fewer.
Two years ago 1t was practically con-
ceded that Mr.. Douglas had sole
claim to the Observation-Disclosures
polls Tribune.

THE SLAVIC LEGION

~ EWS that President Wilson has
N given his approval to the or
ganization and training under
the War Department of a "Slavic
LEGION" to be composed of Slavs,
Jugo-Slavs, Czech-Slovenes and Poles
in this country not subject to draft
and who volunteer for the service,
will be received with great joy by
countless men of Slavic extraction in
the United States, whose sympathies
are with the allies and who resent
being classed as alien enemies.
Organization as units of the
American Army of men in America
belonging to the oppressed races of
the Austro-Hungarian and German
empires long has been urged by
Slav leaders in the United States and
the appropriation favored by Senator
Hitchcock, of Nebraska, providing
money for the organization of such a
division no doubt will be adopted as
part of the general army arpropri-
alton bill.
Italy has recognized the claims of
these oppressed Slavic peoples and
has even admitted to her armies a
division or two made up of volun-
teers from the districts she has
agreed to protect in a territorial
way at the conclusion of the war.
These men have no sympathy either
with the dual monarchy or with Ger
many, their hate of the latter be-
ing as strong as that of any of the
soldiers on the allied side. They
are lovers of freedom and independ-
ence. They want to fight because
they have deep convictions as to the
right of the allied cause. Such men
make good soldiers. They are ready
to go to war because they have a
principle at stake. The proposed
Slavic unit will give good account
of itself, no doubt.

Naf.iI ChnGfa~fnY

BY Cecil Chesterton
Because for once the sword broke In
her hand,
The words she spoke seemed per-
ished for a space;
All wrong was brazen, and in every
land
The tyrants walked abroad with
naked face.
The waters turned to blood as rose
the star
OF evil fate denying all release.
The rulers smote the Feeble, crying
WAR"
The usurers robbed the naked,
crying "Peace!"
And her own feet were caught in
nets of gold,
And her own soul profaned by
sects that squirm.
And little men climbed to high seats,
and sold
Her honor to the vulture and the
worm.
And she seemed broken and they
called her dead,
The Over-Men, so brave against
the weak.
Has your last word or Sophtstry been
said,
o cult of slaves? Then it is here
to speak.
Clear the slow mists from her half
darkened eyes,
AS slow mists parted over Valmy
fell,
And once again her hands in high
surprise
Take hold upon the battlements of
Hell.

HASTE NECESSARY

TT is not surprising to find city
councilmen in favor of trans
ferring the Walnut street viaduct
fund for the erection of the proposed
monumental bridge over the rail-
road at State street. Every argu-
ment favors such course. The
State street development, through
the generosity of the State and the
assistance of the Pennsylvania
railroad, will be so far superior both
as to looks and utility that there can
be no comparison between it and the
purely commercial viaduct proposed
for Walnut street.
The city has also to think of the
fact that the 100000 set aside fol

now be sufficient for the purpose; al

The cautious blue pencil of the CEN
sor is perhaps reflected in the report
of a celebration by the American
colony at Shanghai of the seven
tieth anniversary of the founding of
the Pacific Mail, when one speaker
appropriately recalled, according to
the official narrative in Commerce
Reports, that it was exactly 1874
years ago that the first American
ship, the Empress of China, sailed
from "a port of the United States
for Canton. Would mention of the
name of the port that the Yankee
ship sailed from, more than CEN
