it can be said that practically all
streams lying within the developed
regions of the coal measures are
incapable of any ordinary use in
their present condition, as mining in
the past has been carried on with
out reference to these streams. In
particular the Monongahela, Cone
maugh, Lehigh and Schuylkill can
be cited as notable examples. All
the facts at hand show that, re-
gardless of present quality and
quantity. coal mine drainage newt
ably destroys water supplies.
lowing to the widespread pollu-
ton in the coal regions. it is neces-
sary in many cases to use very bad
water, but this should be considered
as simply showing what can be done
ir making the best of a bad condi-
tion, and no industry should be
permitted in the future to pollute
stream so seriously as to put an un-
due burden on another industry,
particularly when the latter is also
of prime Importance. Even should
the discharge of mine water into all
streams be discontinued at once, pol
luton would not stop for many
years, due to the effect of acid de-
posits in the stream bed.

Taxing Automobiles

President Leukel, of the Mercer
County Tax Board, proposed to the
special tax commission, on Tuesday,
that the assessment and taxation oil
automobiles be placed in the hands OF
the Motor Vehicle Commissioner, as
has been done in New York State, and
that the value of the machines be
determined by the Commissioner from
price lists made by him.
The rate of taxation suggested by
Mr.. Leuckel varied from 81 per Size
OF valuation for machines valued be-
low 81 900, to s. per 800 for machines
worth more than 81 800. While the
taxes would be collected by the State,
the money would be turned over to the
municipalities in which the automo
biles are owned; one-year-old cars to be
assessed at 20 per cent. of list price,
two-year-old cars at so per cent, and
three-year-old cars at 30 per cent
Mr.. Leuckel would exempt from tax
alton automobiles owned by bona fide
non. residents, which is entirely proper
The plan proposed is good one AT
present the automobiles of the Stato
are valued by several hundred local
assessors, few of whom are guided in
their estimates by expert knowledge of
automobile values. Trenton Times.

Mr.. Kraus says in his telegram
that Congressman Kahn's action in
presenting an anti-Zionist petition
to President Wilson took him by
surprise for the reason that he was
authorized only to endeavor to Sc
cure full rights for Jews in countries
where that is denied them. His
telegram is as follows:

dental to visit B'nai Birth lodges
and ascertain how many of our own
members, if any, are in distress, and
requested him, if he should have the
chance, to cooperate with the 9th
ers who are trying to secure full
rights for our people where such
rights are denied them. Afterwards,
to my establishment, he presented
to the President the anti-Zionist
petition. He has no authority to
appear for us before the Peace Con-
ference on that question and I am
confident that on that question he
will not pretend to act for us.
Should anyone attempt to speak on
behalf of the Order for or against
that question I will denounce him."
