Is TT FRANKLIN?

Franklin and Frankland are forms
Of what was the same name orig
inally. II might seem that Franklin
was a corruption of Frankland, but
just the opposite is the case. So you
cannot regard the name as a COM
pound of Frank and land. The old
form of the name was Franckleyn
or Frankelein, with or without the
lie before il. 1t was Latinized I'm old
records as Frankelanus II was de-
rived from the old English word,
Franklin. used to designate a large
freeholder-often the son of a vii
lian. as feudal serfs were called,
who had become rich.
The family to which Benjamin
Franklin belonged had lived for at
least three generations prior to their
migration to this country on a free
hold Of thirty acres in the parish Of
Ecton, i'm Northamptonshire, Eng
land. For several generations tho
position of blacksmith in the parish
was hereditary with the eldest sol

Benjamin's grandfather. Thomas,
was born there in 1893. One of his
sons. Thomas. by name. studied to
become a scrivener and eventually
became one Of the most prominent
men in the county Of Northumber-
land and a close friend of the Earl
Of Halifax This was Benjamin
Franklins uncle to whom he is said
to have borne striking resem-
blance both in appearance and IN
mental traits
The second son OF the first men
toned Thomas was John Franklin,
a dyer of woolcns who lived in Ban
bury. The third son was Benjamin,
silk dyer OF London, and the
fourth was Josiah, born in 1855, who
removed to New England in 1882.

BENJAMIN was the youngest, thus

PENNSYLVANIA MAY
PUT TAX ON COAL

HARRISBURG. March 31.-A
bill providing for a ~ per cent. tax
on the value per ton OF 1850 pounds
on all anthracite coal mined and
prepared for market was introduced
in the Pennsylvania Legislature
yesterday. The revenue raiser has
the support of the State administra-
tion.
A rtraight 2h per cent. ad val
orem tax on each long ton OF an
thracite coal mined would net the
State between S11 100000 and S12.-
100000 a year. il was estimated
here today by men interested in the
hard coal industry.
The average price Of nut and stove
coal sold at the mines is said to be
$3.50 to SS n ton. which would
mean, II the tax is finally placed on
the consumer, that the householder
would pay 17h to 20 cents addi-
tional for his coal. The average
price of pea coal at the mines is said
to be So a ton. which would add
10 cents to the ton.

in a small town in Mississippi. There,
as q writer on farm paper. he
strove to aid the South in its re
building. After two years Of this
work. which the young man did so
we'll that he attracted the attention of
contemporary agricultural editors, he
went East TO a bigger field.
Thirty-seven years afterward this
man returned TO the old Mississippi
town for a brief visit. Did they re-
member HERBEET WINsLow CoLLING-
WOOD as the author of those ringing
editorial articles which appeared in

they recognize III. w. CoLLINGwooD
as the veteran editor of the Rural
Neir YORKER and the writer Of Its
| famous "Hope Farm Notes? They
did not. But CoLLINGwooD had not

Making Germany Pay.
Action Advocated to Invalidate Her
War Bonds and Currency.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The 40
tion OF the United States at the close
OF the civil war in regard to the Con-
federate debt is suggestive of the treat
mont that should have been meted out
to Germany in the Treaty of Versailles.
BY the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution the Confederate debt was
declared Illegal and void while through
the operation OF the national revenue
laws the States lately in rebellion have
been compelled to pay a proportionate
putting down the rebellion and to bear
q part Of the cost of pensions paid to
Union soldiers. These measures have
acted as a warning to future generations
of investors to beware OF financing re-
bclious States.
The first article of the Treaty OF Ver-
sailles should have declared the debt
OF the various German States, contracted
after August 2, 1914. including all issues
OF bonds and paper money after that
date. null and void, with the exception
of forced loans in allied territory. Such
confscation would have warned the
citizens OF all nations against financing
governments in wanson attacks upon
their neighbors, and would have done
more to preserve the future peace OF
the world than all the leagues. cove
nants and self-denying treaties ever con-
ceived by well meaning but misguided
mon and women.
The second article should have de-
clarcd the validity of the debts OF the
allied countries contracted in suppress
ing the attack OF Germany upon the civ
ilized world, and should have compelled
Germany to assume an amount Of these
debts equal to that which she was re-
quired TO repudiate. By such an ar
rangement the German indemnity would
have been based upon the estimate of
the. Germans themselves as TO their abil-
ity to pay; the Germans would have
been relieved of deprecated currency,
as were the inhabitants of the Confeder-
ate States, and the currencies OF the
allied nations would have risen toward
normal values.
Considering the authorship or tho first
two articles 1t passes belief that these
provisions were not inserted in the tree-
ties with all the Central Powers. In the
case of Germany it is not too late. They
should be embodied in the next ulti-
matum. Until this thing is done the
Allies will continue to mill around in
a vicious circle of false measures with
out getting any substantial remunera-
ton from Germany. S. G. v.

Killing Off African Game.
Alleged Purpose of Slaughter Is to
Prevent Tsetse Fly Disease.
E'rnnl fhe Eirld.


As long ago as early in 1918 praeti-
cally the whole of the Ubombo district
Of North Zululsnd was thrown open for
indiscriminate shooting. with the al.
legged object OF preventing the spread of
tsetse fly disease. and IL is interesting
to learn that this was not advertised
very widely. but was apparently kept as
a. we'll guarded secret among the resi-
dents In and around this district.
The conditions prevailing In the dis
trict at tho time OF it's being thrown
open are interesting. Ubombo village
itself consists OF Europeans---the resi-
dent magistrate. the clerk of court,
postmaster and two or three more Off
ciais. European settlers there were
none nor was it possible to purchase
even plot of ground for trading pur-
poses What cattle there were ap-
pcared 20 be in splendid condition and
quite FREQ from any signs OF tsctse fly
disease. About 2.boo feet below Ubom-
DO village and about Ave miles distant
lies the low weld which comprises the
game country. Here are 10 be found q
few scattered native huts, but no cattle
OF any sort, the reason being that dur
ing the greater part OF the year tho
country is practically dry with the ex-
ception Of n few stagnant pools. which
answer well enough for game but are
utterly unsuited for cattle and stiil less
for human consumption. We are at
loss TO und crstand how tho killing of or
game in such a district can possibly help
