GOV. SPROUL FOR
NEW TAX ON COAL
Nd ValOrem Duty on BituminOus
and Scent Duty on Anthracite.

HARRISBURGH Pa. Jan. 1S-An
ad valorem tax of cents ton on
bituminOus coal produced at the mine
and ) cents a ton on anthracite is rec
by Gov. SprOul to raise rev
enueS to meet the increasing needs of
state government. In suggesting the
tax in his biennial message TO the legiS-
lature today he said it should be accom-
panied by legislation which would pre-
vent the addition of larger sums than
were actually paid to the cost of coal to
the consumer As a compensation for
taxes.
This will prevent any gouging of the
public or any excuses regarding the
cost of production" he said The tax
would be wisely distributed. he also de-
clared. and a large proportion would
come from benefcaries of Pennsylvania s
natural resources living outside the
state. The tax would yield about SIC
100000.
Governor SprouI also advocated a
state license tax of five cents per square
foot on billboardS and other advertising
signs erected uPon property other than
that owned or occupied by the adver-
tiSerS. If half of this tax should be re
turned to the counties whose people
have to endure these signs there would
be some compensation for their insight
ly obtrusion into the landscape" he
said.

Much Colder Last Year.

For the first time this winter the mer-
curry reached the zero mark this morning
on +. K. Naughan's standard thermometer
aG his home on High street. registering one
degree below zero. The Thermometer in
front of the Vaughan & Burnett jewelry
store. however, registered temperature
of five degrees below zero about 8 o'clock
this forenoon, while in West Brattleboro
this morning a temperature of six degrees
below was reported. A north wind today
has made the cold seem more intense.
The weather this year has been notice
ably warmer than ii was early in 1920.
On the second Sunday Of 1920 the mer-
curry stopped at 16 below. During the
month of January last year there were
nine days when the thermometer regis
tered zero or colder.
The present cold snap however. Is
scheduled for only a brief call. as the
weather bureau today forecasts rising
temperatures tomorrow.

DRIFTS THREE MONTHS AT SEA
Russian Schooner Finally Reaches Guam
With All Provisions Gone.

GUAM. NJ. L.. Jan. Is. - The Rus
sian motor schooner Diana, after help
lcSSly drifting more than three months.
reached here Sunday, proyisi0nleSS and
in distress. The Diana left NladivoStok
last June under command of Captain
Hoodley, with provisions for a three
months cruise in the Bering sea.
\ storm encountered in October on
the return voyage to Vladivostok stripped
the craft of its rudder and washed one
of the members of the crew overheard:
Since that time. without power and
with scanty provisions, which later gave
out entirely. the craft drifted in the Pa
cifc out of the steamship lanes. until
finally the ocean current and winds car
ried her into haven here.

Too Many Questions.
bennington Banner. }


The Greater Vermont association has
put out a QUESTIONABLE relative to Yer
mont roads and the best method to b,
taken to bring Improvement. This ques-
tionnaire was printed in The Banner a
few days ago and it represents a laudable
effort to get at the sentiment of the public
on this much-argued issue There are.
however, too many questions in the list
and a danger of confusion Two questions
would have covered the main question.
First the turning over to the sole jurisdic-
ton of the state all of the trunk line
roads and, second. whether to continue
the present state system in charge of one
highway commissioner or to place COM
mission in charge. The federal aid, so
called. is mostly hunting. Vermont does
not, by any means. get back the money she
pays in toward federal road building. but
so long as the government at Washington
insists on collecting the taxes, we are
compelled in self-defense to take back
what we can get. under as favorable con-
ditiOnS as may be secured.
