DON'T INVITE A LAWSUIT

During these days and nights of
treacherous ice and snow, don't let
your sidewalks become dangerous to
pedestrians. If anyone should suf-
fer serious injury you might have
to go thru lawsuit. None relishes
such an experience.
There is a city ordinance against
allowing your sidewalks to remain
covered with snow, and il it re-
mains until frozen ,endangering
the life and limb of pedestrians,
you are subject to a fine.
But apart from the legal as
pect of the matter, keep your side
walk as clean as you would wish
others to keep theirs when you
walk over them.

ROBBER TAXES IN
PENNSYLVANIA

Robber taxes, politely known as
Inheritance taxes, hit every. estate
in, this Commonwealth, no matter
how small it may be. The last Legis-
lature put through it's first stages
a proposed constitutional amend
ment permitting exemptions. Before
it can be adopted by the people the
present Legislature must give its
consent. This, of course, it should
do.
But if the Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania had the wisdom of that Of
Florida, it would follow this amend
ment with another. Florida has writ
ten into it's Constitution an article
which absolutely prohibits inheri.
lance taxes.
And that is precisely what Penn.
sylvania should do. And if it realiz.
ed what is good for it, it would

ton. 1t came about through a gen
erous impulse of members toward
C. A. Thomas, secretary to Mayor
Nelson and post member.
Mrs. Thomas presented her hus-
band with twins and the post pre-
scented the twins a bed.
"They've got to kicking the stats
out of the end of it," Thomas re-
ported later when the twins out
grew the present. 'It's now ready
for the next pair"
w. S. Cohen Immediately put in
an application for the beds service.
He had the living credentials. But
the bed was only loaned.
Far-sighted guardians of the ex-
chequer saw other such contingent
cies and had the bylaws amended
so that permanent possession of
the bed could go only to a men,

within which. claims may be filed for
he soldiers bonus under the Wal
worth act of 1920. A bond issue of
s12,0OO,000 was authorized, and
about 100000 is unexpended, while
there are fewer than 5000 claims
unsettled.
By all means permit any New
Jersey soldier who served in the
Great War all the time he needs
N which to file his claim-at least
so long as there is balance re-

seems hardy possible that any
claimant should not have known OF
the bonus offer long ago and pre-
