SOAK THE AUTO.

The greatest little game in Amer
lea today is soaking the auto.
Whenever county wants new church
house they soak the auto" Whenever
city wants new pound pen they
soak the auto" In fact the game
has progressed to such an extent that
the lowly motorist can be easily
distinguished from his brother civil
ians. He bears lean and melancholy
look and his visage is bruised and
Scared from his many "soakings."
State, county and city Legislators
and law manufacturers have found in
the automobile owner seeming in
exhaustablc source of revenue. Like
Aaron of old they smite him and
there gushes forth stream of gold
to carry out their dreams and as
pirations. Again they strike him and
chortlc with glec. Often they strike
him just to see that the stream still
flows; that the fountain is not dry.
Recently the Pine Bluff city coun-
ell received an ordinance to raise the
salary of the city collector. That it
itself is a good move. The present
salary of the city collector is nominal
to say the least The city collector of
this city has duties that call for a
man of experience and aggressive
ness. Such Il man could hardly be
found at the present salary.
But
The mayor suggests that the III
crease in salary be taken from the
street fund, And then the council puts
another ordinance on the calendar to
levy tax of SIS, annually, beginning
June Of this year, on every auto
mobile IN the city. This tax will 60
into the street fund,
Of course the automobile tax will
go into the street fund, and the
street fund, or part of it, will go
toward paying the salary of the tax
collector, and the tax collector
should be paid out of the street fund
because he collects the taxes from
the automobile ow ner for the street
fund, etc. etc.
But why should the automobile
owner pay for the streets and the
collector also? The streets are used
by other people and vehicles and the
collector collects other taxes besides
the auto tax.
1t is great little game.

WHOLESALE FARM
PRODUCE MARKET.
is RECOMMENDED.
No Place Left Where Food
stuffs May Be Sold to
Shoppers

Establishment of a wholesale farm
produce market in Harrisburg was
recommended by S. S. Pomeroy,
grocer, to Chief of Police Wetzel to-
day. Mr.. Pomeroy's suggestion fol-
lowed an order from some down.
town policeman to farmers who had
brought loads of fruit and veg
etables to town, that they must not
park their wagons for any period Of
time along the downtown streets. 1t
has been the custom of many farm
ers to bring their produce to town
every morning, selling to the res
taurant keepers and downtown gro
GERS. Mr.. Pomeroy said this moru-
ing that he had noted the police
officers ordering these farmers to
vacate. The growers then brought
their wagons into Market Square,
where a dozen or more were parked
along the curb in the midst OF
crowded traffic. They had small
time in which to dispose of their
wares and the grocers had little
time in which to buy.
1t has been suggested that
wholesale market be established for
the benefit of those who come TO
Harrisburg every day with fruit and
vegetables for the local grocery
stores. 1t was pointed out that this
would tend to increase production
and could be so arranged that it
would not interfere with the anti
forestalling ordinance on the city
markets. Those interested said that
it might be easily arranged that no
wholesaling should be allowed dur
ing a given number of hours before
the retail markets open and during
market hours. Just what action the
city authorities will take in the
matter has not been announced.

JOHNSTON ASKS
Advisory Counsel Tells Com

Warfield Plan

Washington, Aug. Is. - If Con-

extend a steadying hand to the rail-
roads, Forney Johnston, of the ad-
Visory counsel for the National AS
sociation of Owners of Railroad Sc

Commerce Committee to-day.

aseous and constructive action now"

tenn Of privately owned and oper-
ated railway transportation will be
destroyed and the siXty-sixth Con-
SresS Will have forced Government
ownership under considerations and
with results which the future alone
can assay"
Mr.. Johnston contended the secur-
lty owners association had presented
the only process that would avoid
this fatal and irrevocable step"
Pointing out that in 1916, ninety
one railroads. operating more than
eighty thousand miles had paid no
dividends whatever, he declared

in a bread line before the doors of

sion since 1910, and that relief by
the commission had been denied or
grudgingly and sparingly dealt out
because certain roads in each region
were thought to be affluent.
Vast Mileage Choked
yet before the committees of
Congress and in every case brought
before the commission to advance
rates" the witness said, "a vast mile
age of American railways has been
choked off with the assertion that
average statistics show average pros
perity.. In all of these cases the
commission has been actuated to
deny general relief because certain
roads were prosperous and the COM
mission was unwilling to add to their
prosperity even to save the large
number of roads which were receiv-
ing admittedly inadequate revenue
1t was to meet this situation, he
told the committee that the War
field plan would direct the commits
sion to fix rates so that the roads
could earn a minimum guaranteed
return of six per cent. upon capital
invested with division of all surplus
over that figure among employees the
public and the earning road.

through the Post Office will begin
next Tuesday, Postmaster Frank C.
Sites announced to-day. Everything
sold to-day in the firehouses will be
placed on sale by the government as
we'll as some additional articles.
Prices will be slightly lower than
those charged by the Mayors COM
mittee but the parcel post charges
will run them up to a slightly high
er figure. Counting the delivery
charges the prices asked will be
considerably lower than those in re-
tail shops.
Order blanks may be secured
from post carriers or from the post
office. Money must accompany each
order. The goods are said to be as
good as those offered locally to-day.
Mr.. Sites has issued the following
statement and price list:
BLANK order forms containing a
list of all the foodstuffs to be sold
through the parcel post can be OBJ
tanned Tuesday morning from all
letter carriers and at the Post Office

ceipt for the cash which accompan-
les the order. Orders will be filled

post delivery charges. Orders will
be taken from purchasers with the
understanding that any supplies
which cannot be furnished will be
stricken from the order and their
cash value returned.

week must not expect delivery of
the food on the following day. The
orders must be sorted at the Post
Office and then forwarded to the
Zone Supply officer at PHILADELPHIA
the food then sent back to the Post
Office in bulk cases and broken up
and distributed to the carriers for
delivery. Several weeks may elanse

BLOCK ACTION ON

ton on amendments to the food

Production Pressing Need,
Declares Wilson, Vetoing
Daylight Saving Repeal
By Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. Is. - Presi-
dent Wilson to-day vetoed the bill
repeating the daylight saving law.
Declaring the pressing need of the
country was for production by in
dustry, the President said he had
been obliged to balance one set of
disadvantages against another and
decide which was the most serious
for the country.
The President said he returned the
bill without his approval with "the
utmost reluctance" because he real
zcd the very considerable and in
some respects very serious incon-
'veniences to which the daylight saw
ing law subjects the farmers of the
country"
The Presidents message was sent
to Speaker Gillett, but when an eff
fort was made to present it to the
House, Representative Blanton,
Democrat, Texas, made a point of
no quorum and the House adjourned
without the message being read
This was the second time the
President mad vetoed repeal of the
law by which the clocks are set for
ward an hour on the last Sunday in
March and turned back an hour the
last Sunday in October. The first
veto was several weeks ago, the re-
peal being attached as a rider to
the annual agricultural appropria-
ton bill.
White House officials and members
of Congress could not recall to-day a
previous instance of President
having twice vetoed the same bill.
Efforts to pass the agricultural meas
ure over the veto failed in the House
and then the separate House repeal
bill then pending was passed by
the Senate. Leaders in Congress
doubt that the two-thirds vote neces-
sary to pass the repeal measure over
the Presidents head can be obtained,
