These things have been done,

CHEAP POWER
FOR COUNTRY

Morris l.. Cooke, Director of the
Giant Power Survey of Pennsyl-
vania, announced this week that one
of the objects of the survey is to
erect power stations over the State
so that lines can radiate from them
to all industrial establishments and
farms. He estimates that 650,000 900
horse power of electricity can be
provided at very low cost.
To give an idea of the relative
low cost of these power plants, Mr..
Cooke calls attention to the two bat
tie cruisers now being iunked in
Philadelphia. These cruisers cost
S40,000,000 and have power plants
of 10000 horse power each. But
on the plans Mr.. Cooke is working
out giant power station can be
built three times greater than the
cruisers for only $35,000,000.
These stations can supply eleetri-
city to small towns and rural COM
munities where they have never been
able to get it before. 1t will not
only provide power and light at low
rates, but will bring comfort and
conveniences to thousands of peo-
pie who have heretofore been cut
be held at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mr.. Cooke is resident of Centre
Bridge. He recently built an at
tractive home near the river just
above the village.

TOTALS BY CHOICE

MAIN OFFICE WINS
Pen-Pushers On Top OF 81
Scramble

In contest which to all APP
pearances was ball game the
Main Office defeated the Packing
Shipping, to 4.
Ray benson of the Packing Ship
ping and "Con" Tweedle of the
Main Office, opposing pitchers,
twirled in fine style allowing but
five hits each, and striking out seven
and nine men respectively Harry
WiRart starred both in the field and
at bat, having obtained two hits and
later gathering in stray fly after
a long run, providing one Of those
thrills that come once in a life
time.
The game ran smoothly until the
third inning when the Main Office
fell on benson for three hits which
assisted by couple of errors, net
ted them five runs. After that they
we're never in danger of being head
ed, nipping several rallies in the bud
wit the kind assistance of the UNI
pire.
The only double play in the game
was pulled in the second inning
benson sending up short pop fly
to second base which Bolinski col
Jared and sent by parcel post To
third, retiring Slack.
The seventh provided a genuine
thrill when Con Tweedles generous
ly passed out bases on balls to three
batters and filled the bags. Duck
worth came to bat but failed to
grasp the opportunity Of becoming
a hero, sending up high fly which
"Chet" Boinski gathered in, ending
the game.

licans at every turn so that there
is now grave danger of he Presi-
dents having to veto the tax-reduc-
ton measure. The insurgent- Demo-
cratic coalition has reduced the sur
taxes from so to 40 per cent. Mr..
Mellon advocated reduction to
20 per cent and demonstrated so
clearly none could fail to under
stand that, without at least that
reduction, rich men would persist
in putting their money into tax
exempt securities instead of into
industries where they would have
to pay surtaXes on the income and
where the money would promote
business. If Mr.. Mellon was right
the surtax should have been re-
duced as he advised. Certainly his
plan should have had fair trial.
But if he was wrong there was no
excuse for reducing the surtaxes
at all. If the Democrats and insur-
gents are right in their insistence
that the rich pay the surtaxes, why
reduce those surtaxes? If Mr.. Mel
Ion is right in saying that the rich
don't have to-and wont pay sur
taxes unless they are reduced to
rs per cent and under, there is no
possible excuse for not following his
advice. This is the reasoning which,
it is believed, will compel the Pres
ident to veto this mongrel measure.
The President has already vetoed
the Bursam pension BILL He is daily
expected to veto the bonus bill. And
the suspicion is growing in WASH
ington that the game of the Demo-
Gratis is to send to the White House
a series of bills he will have to
veto, hoping that, as each measure
has some friends, it will result in
his making sufficient number of
enemies to result in his defeat next
November. OF course that is not the
intention of the insurgents voting
with Democrats-except perhaps
those who think they have a change
to be elected president on third
party ticket-but many here feel
that the sincere insurgents are
merely being played for suckers
by their wilier allies, the Democrats.
H. Foster Balm, Director of the
Bureau of Mines, at the last hear
ing of the oil investigation, which
Senator Walsh is still stringing out,
told the committee that there had
been little loss of oil by drainage
from the Teapot Dome reserve be-
cause of the Sinclair lease, that "the
Interior Department locked that barn
door before the horse was stolen
He also testified that the Doheny
leases paid the Government 2s per
cent royalty in December-unwel-
come testimony to Senator Walsh
woh has been insisting it was only
10 per sent.

DISSERTATIONS
By Charlie

The Stockton Fire Engine in Joe
Fingles' yard has asked me to tell
the little stone soldier standing
guard over the iron cannon balls
on Lambertville's famous "What-
Not" that his watchfulness is vain,
for Mr.. Finkle has no great wish
to acquire by purchase such quasi
historical paper weights.
"Greece has offered to lend us a
1900 year-old marble statue" says
daily newspaper. The narrow To-
cal prejudices represented by the
Stockton Fire Engine will doubtless
suggest that we send in return our
little "stone soldier. Why not give
it outright? Why be outdone-why
not send the whole collection on the
field of Gettysburg?
