BRIDGE TOLLS

The opening to traffic of the CO.
lumbia- Wrightsville, Pa, bri g e
took place Oct. three years ago.
At that time total of S1,031,-
1883 had been paid into tie treas
ury of the Bridge Commission. OF
this amount, all but approximately
$4,000 was paid in the form of tolls
collected. The remainder constitut-
ed the proceeds from the sale of ma
terials, dedication programs and
telephone calls.
During the past fiscal year--Octo-
Der l, 1882, to October /, 1e33-the
collection of tolls fell S42,11S.35 be-
low the total collected in the pre-
vious fiscal year and S52,S94.4O be-
low the collections made the first u
months span was open.
The commission has transferred a
total of $SSO,000 to the two eoun-
ties-$440,00 to Lancaster county
and $4,000 to York county. OF
this amount, however, a consider
able sum has been expended by the
two counties to defray property
damages incurred through the con-
struction of the bridge approaches at
Columbia and Wrightsville.
Approximately 100000 has been
paid out in salaries to toll takers
and other employees during the past
three years.
In the annual statement for the
past fiscal year presented by Monroe
H. Bentz, bridge superintendent,
$35,S35.3O was paid out in salaries;
$7,9S2.5S in operative expenses in

FIRE PREVENTION AIDS r.
COVERY PROGRAM

For the first eight months of 1888
the National Board of Fire Under
writer's estimates the national fire
loss at S224,904,141, as compared
with $31O,O7S,321 for same period
in 1882.
With such wonderful start on
reduction of fire losses for the year,
Fire Prevention Week, which occurs
from October 8 to IA, should give
added impetus to the fire prevention
movement and encourage the MAX
ing of record year for low fire
losses. This would be blessing to
the nation in it's recovery struggle.
Fire causes the loss of thousands
of lives annually. Men lose jobs
and wages, and government collects
no taxes on burned buildings. 1t is
estimated that 43 per cent of bust
ness houses which burn annually, do
not resume operations.
Insurance costs are based ON fire
losses-whether your own property
burns or not, you pay insurance be-
cause it is part of the cost of oper-
alton in all business.
Let every man and woman be
their own fire inspector-look at the
heating plant, clean up the base
ment, take trash out of attic, dispose
of oil or paint covered rags, keep hot
ashes out of combustible containers,
fix wiring connections and check a
hundred things they can do TO pre-
vent fire. Be careful of matches
and smoking.
Farmers should be doubly con-
cerned about fire and use every pre-
tentative measure possible, because
they have little protection once a
fire is started.
Fire Prevention Week draws at
tention to the Importance of fire pre-
vention and activities against the
fire hazard should continue through
out the year.
Fire destroys life, property, pro-
gress and prosperity.

NEW DEAL in TAXATION

Indicating that the pressure for
"a new deaI' in taxation is having
somewhat, there were at least 1900
new tax laws placed on statute books
by the As state legislatures holding
sessions this year.
The beginning of movement to
relieve the property owner by shift
ing some of his tax burden to other
sources of taxation, as we'll as by
providing more convenient methods
of tax payment, is seen in the new
legislation, which is reviewed by
Prof. Clarence Heer, research direc-
tor of the Interstate Commission on
Conflicting T AK a t i IN. Professor
Hers report is published in the cur
rent issue of State Government, or
gan of the American Legislators AS
ISOLATION, under the title, New
Deals in Taxation"
acting evidently on the theory
that there would be less tax delin-
Quency if methods of payment were
made easier" Professor Heer de-
clares, "a considerable number of
states tore page from the book of
private business enterprise end pas
sed measures providing for the flu
ture collection of taxes by means of
partial or installment payments.
Legislation of this character was en-
acted in 81 states during the 1888
sessions. Payment of taxes in quar-
terly or semi-annual instdli'aents is
most frequently specified. Arizona,
however, allows taxes TO be paid in
10 per cent installments, ana Colo
RADIO statute provides for the pay
ment of property taxes in ~ equal
instaflments."
Turning to new sources of revenue
to take some of the burden off real
estate, the legislators have brought
the retail sales tax into use in 10
states instead of just two which had
it at the beginning of the year, and
the use of gross income taxes has
spread from two states to ght, ac-
cording to the report.
At the beginning of the year in
come taxes were in effect In a5 states
but new income tax laws have been
adopted in six states, and o. the 81
states which now have income taxes,
27 tax both principal and corporate
incomes, two tax only personal in
comes and two levy income taxes
only on corporations, it is reported.

Creation of a Government non

FEDERAL PROTECTION FOR DRY
STATES

Emphasis is laid on the al gument
that hereafter liquor control will be
state function, each state determ-
lining for itself what the regulations
shall be. Then there is to be Fed
eral protection for dry states again
st liquor running from wet states but
details of control will be turned over
to state individually.
Now, of course, this IS nothing
more than a direct return to condi-
tions before Prohibition, the very
conditions which provoked the peo-
pie into demanding change. And
the reasons were obvious. Expert
ence found that local option by coun-
ties was not effective because there
was not wet respect for dry districts.
With local option, the people de-
manded state prohibition Here
again wet states disregarded the dry
states. Even with all the Federal
regulation of those times, the liquor
interests twiddled their fingers at
the law and pumped their booze into
dry territory. To escape this intol-
cradle condition, the country de-
manded national Prohibitions
The majority of Americans may
not like national Prohibition, but it
is difficult to see what they expect to
gain by heading back into a situation
which thirteen years ago they repud-
lated. 1t is as close as anything can
be to jumping from the FRYING pan
into the fire.
No person can be credulous enough
to believe that if one state is dry and
it's neighbor wet, that the dry states
regulations will be respected tomor-
row anymore than they were yester-
day. And varied assortment of Ii
uuor regulations based on state con-
troll can produce nothing but trouble
and confusion.
If the vets really had any idea of
liquor control different from that
which prevailed in the old days, they
seem to have deserted it. After all
there is an obvious reason for I'M
satisfactory as Prohibition has been,
it is infinitely less so than any substi-
tute thus far established or propos-
d.-Harrisburg Patriot.

Tin Can Currency

through their universal use, they
have come to have a standard
value and they are always in de-
mand. Gold or no gold, can of
beans, which always sells around
ten cents a can, has a certain
ve-y definite value in the mind
of every one. Thus it was not
unusual for a housewife to pay
her housecleaner for a days work
with canned foods-if the bill
was two dollars, the cleaner will
ingly accepted it's equivalent
say, five cans of beans, five cans
Of soup, three cans Of evaporated
milk, and three large cans of
salmon. In sections where the
barter system prevailed canned
foods changed hands with much
the regularity that currency does,
for on the housewives shelf these
foods were certain to be as safe
as money in a sound banks

FOURTEEN STATES REPRESENT
ED AT N. j. G.

Because her father ''liked the
looks of the cows" on a college
campus, Miss Mae Frances Lewis, of
The Plains, Va, is a freshman this
fall many miles from home, at New
Jersey College for Women, part of
Rutgers University.
At the age of ten, eight years ago,
Miss Lewis decided that some day
she would run her fathers e50-acre
farm. Last summer she travelled
with her father, looking FOR the ideal
place to study agriculture. The
search ended when professor of
animal husbandry at the Rutgers
College of Agriculture showed Mr..
Lewis cattle raised at the college
farm Miss Lewis is the only girl
enrolled in the course at the present
time.
Miss Lewis and Miss Sybil O'Quinn
who came from Beaumont, Texas, to
study journalism, are the N. j. c..
freshmen farthest from home. In
the entire student body there are
girls from fourteen states, Connecti-
cut, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Mary
land, Massachusetts, Missouri, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia
and Washington, d. C.
Students from 1872 cities and
towns in New Jersey attend the col
lege. New Brunswick is the home
of 80 students, the largest number
from any city. Newark takes sec
ond place with 81 students and EIiz-
abeth and Trenton tie for third place
with 3S girls each.
Rising Sun is represented at the
college by Miss Dorothy Cameron,
member of the sophomore class.

WHEAT CONTRACTS In MARY.
LAND

Up to September 81, approximate
ly 5000 Maryland farmers had ap-
piled for contracts in the campaign
for wheat production control, &C
cording to DR.. T. B. Symons, direct
or of the campaign in the State.
The acreage of wheat represented
by the farmers who have signed APP
plications for contracts is about 278,-
900 acres and it is expected the final
figures will be close to 100000
acres. This is rs per cent of the
number OF acres seeded in wheat for
this years crop and a little less than
that percentage of the average seed
ed during the last three years
Frederick county, which is the
leading wheat producing county of
the State, is also leading in this cam
paign, DR.. Symons says. with 1851
signors representing $4,000 acres.
This is more than rs per cert of the
average number of acres grown in
that county. Reports from other
leading wheat growing counties are
Queen Anne's 33.450 acres by 623
farmers; Carroll. 30,310 acres by
725 farmers; Kent, 29,987 acres by
452 farmers; Montgomery, 26,O41
acres by 76S farmers; Talbot, 49,
141 acres by 467 farmers; Washing
ton, 1852 acres by 41S farmers.

Since the middle of July there has
been a deflnite-but yet not overly
severe-dcwnward trend i'll general
business. The usual seasonal Au-
gust Improvement did not material
ize. What Happened was that the
summer decline, which business
avoided for a number of months af-
ter it was due, made a delayed ap-
pearance. Even SO, there has been
extraordinary sustained improve
ment over the preceding few years.
Production in July, according to the
Department of Commerce, was 68
per cent higher than in 1892, when
the absolute bottom of depression
was touched; 20 per cent higher
than in 1881 and ga per cent higher
than in 1880. The Department OF
Commerce places the manufacturers
index at 80. which is the highest
since May, 1880.
