COAL TAX URGED
I TO BUILD ROADS
Scranton Business Men Favor
3 Per Cent Levy, $12,ooo,ooo
Annually, to Aid State Work
AIM TOLD AT HIGHWAY FEED
~ a star Correspondent

Scranton. Oct. 17.--Mark *. Edgar.
Of the Scranton Board of Trade. has
outlined proposal that a natural re-
source tax of per cent upon the price
of anthracite and bituminous coal at
the mine be levied by the state, Tho
greater proportion Of this additional
revenue he would have turned into high
way improvement for the mutual benefit
Of coal companies and the common
wealth.
He was speaking at good roads"
dinner last night Of the Lackawanna
Motor Club before group of Phila =
dclphia newspaper men. who. as guests
of the State Highway Department. left
Philadelphia yesterday to inspect the
roads in eastern Pennsylvania.
'''rhe plan is only a tentative one. but
a committee of ono hundred is at pres
ent preparing to solicit public opinion
regarding its feasibility" said Mr.,
Edgar. -Four dollars a ton is a con
servativc estimate of the mine price of
anthracite coal A . per cent addi
tioual tax would amount to twelve cents
a ton. yielding approximately S12.
200. 900. most of which could be used
for good reads. 1t is our desire TO draft
bill cmbodyiug such tax for pres
entaton to the next Legislature.
Mr.. Edgar said there were great de -
posits of unmined coal lying beneath
Scranton.
s',rhat coal cant be touched because
of the danger OF cave-ins,' he said.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-10-17

Scranton is unable TO assume the
financial burden Of reimbursing the min
ing companies for not tapping the an
thracite under the city. We favor n
general tax TO be collected by the state
out of which. besides a very large share
for good roads, damages may be paid
the operators.
Mr.. Edgar said the tax idea was pro
posed as substitute for the RoneN
act, which imposed similar tax. The
Rouey act was declared unconstitu
lonal by the State supreme Court.
If the rutty road to Scranton is a
fair example of roads in the state. Penn
sylyaua is sOrcly in need Of new ones.
The motoring inspection party of news
papermeD bumped. bounced and joltcd
over the ugly stretches. got stuck in the
mud for an hour and finally reached
here late last night. The party left
today for Harrisburg.
The $50. 100000 loan for state road
Improvement. authorized last Novem
Der, is making possible an extensive
program of road construction. OF the
$500 miles of Pennsylvania state roads,
the Highway Department plans to re-
build 2000 Already contracts are out
for some 700 miles of new road.
w men you take into consideration
the fact that last years highway com
mission constructed only thirty miles ol
new roads said II. Il. Hits, assistant
to the chief engineer. who. along will
NJ. H. James. state statistician. has
charge of the inspecting party. 'yot

this years activity. Some 300 mile
of new roads have been completed. al
though We labor under many haudicaps
We cannot always find contractors tt

we are not able to obtain sufficient

THE real test of the quality of

is to hear them side by side
with the New Edison. If you are
musical you will instantly note the
difference. Has any talking ma

tone test, except Edison, with the

with their own records? That is
why Edison records are called re-

MAKING HAY IN THE ALPS
Not at All the Kind Of Work "a Which
We in This Country Are
Accustomed.

Haymaking in the Swiss Alps is pur-
sued under peculiar difficulties 4 and
dangers. The thrifty Swiss farmer
turns every bit of ground TO- advan-
tage. If few square yards anywhere
can be made or reclaimed the labOE
is not grudged. The farmer makes
the very soil. He builds. terraces along
steep inclines, lines them with blocks
of stone, and then packs earth upon
them. x. b !
Along the very edge of preeipices
the Swiss haymaker goes in search az
grass, clinging to rocks with iron
clamps upon his feet. He hangs on
the side of the cliff and mOws down
few tufts OF, grass on craggy shelves
here and there.
During the two months Of hay harr
