 Total ........$ .$9, ,880, ,428 64 Average-$3, ,220, ,l42.88.
 When we compare the total re- ceipts in 1883 with those in 1888, we find that in 1883 they were $12,544 ,098, and in 1888, $23,381 1855; and the cost of collection per dol lar in 1888 was barely more than in 1883; for. in 1883, to collect the $12,154.098 1t cost the state $lS2,- 020 or $.O105 per dollar; in 1888, to collect $23,3Sl ,135, 1t cost the state $251, ,49l or $.0l07 per dollar, or an increase of two one-hun- dredths of a cent more In 1888 than in 1883.
 Another statement of MT. Blod- gctt Is that "the cost of admlnis- tration in 1936 was more than three times as much as in his last year as tax commissioner in 1933." v, In 1883, the expenditures were $l32, ,939. Three times that amount is $3988l7. According to MT. Blodgett, the expenditures for 1886 must have been more than this sum: but the facts are that they were $230, ,243, or $l68,574 less than MT. Blodgetts figure.
 The former tax commissioner IS shocked to learn that the Board of Finance and Control authorized the purchase of an automobile for the new commissioner in 1883. But during his terms of office, MT. Blodgett did not hesitate to col lect from the state seven cents a mile for transportation in his own car.
 Another statement is made that "the personnel since July 1, 1883 has been increased about l50 per cent The record shows that on July 1, 1883. there were 48 per- manent, and one temporary, efn- ployes, 49 in all. Now, 150 per cent of 49 in l22. According to MT. Blodgett, there must be that mum Der in the department, But the fact is that on July 1, 1888, there were 90 permanent and 4 tenn porary employees, 94 in all, or 32 less employees, or more than 30 per cent less than MT. Blodgett's figure.
 The present commissioner is ac- cused of fastening upon the pub lie service the great horde of party workers selected from political committees" When l took over the administration of the tax de- partment in 1883, all of MT. Blodgett's appointees, with a few exceptions, were retained In their present positions by the present commissioner. When new appoin- tees were required due to new du- ties placed upon the tax depart ment, applications received from all sources were given careful consideration and selections made of persons who seemed best htted to the positions open.
 "Hewers of wood and drawers of water were given jobs Tn the department, including one who by prior employment was a brick ma son" Apparently. MT. Blodgett believes that "hewers of wood and drawers of water" should always remain in that class; in other words, once laborer, always 2 laborer. Manual workers are served notice that if MT. Rlodsstt had his way, no toiler In the aeid. no mechanic at the bench, no artisan who works with his b hands should ever aspire to any higher position in the economic world but should, for all time, re- main "a newer of wood and drawer of water LA.
 One of these "hewers Of wood ana drawers of water" appointed nv inc present commissioners was by prior 1 employment a "brick mason For MT. Blodgett's information,

GHOST TRAINS RUN
NIGHTLY IN BRITAIN
One Yellow Unit Used to Teach
Air Raid Precautions to
Employees.

LONDON-"Ghost trains" run
nightly over hundreds of miles of
Rritain's railways to insure safety for
passengers.
Some of them the travelling public
rarely sees. and others 60 putting past
with hardly hint of their real pur-
pose.
Workmen call them ghosts because
they operate at night, when traffic is
light,

London transport has a new sub
way train that runs through miles
and miles Of tunnels all night grind
Ing bumps off rails. Night is the only
time it can function, because all traf-
nc is stopped after midnight for about
five hours, and it has a clear field.

which sprays chemicals along the
right of way in open country to pre-
vent obstructing growths. During
the growing season it spreads 40 gal

TWOLABORLAWS
..FACESTATETE
Hour and Compensation
Acts Go Before Court in
Pennsylvania.

By the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 1.-Two
major labor laws, enacted by Demo-
cratic Legislature for Gov George H.
Earle's new deal administration, and
affecting millions of PENNSYLVANIA
workers, will be tested next week in
the State Supreme Court.
The conStitutionality of both acts
Is challenged by industrial interests.
One OF the laws puts approxin ately
100000 persons on the 44-hour week.
The other increases payments to
workers injured on the job or who con-
tract occupational diseases.
80 Days Grace Granted.
The 44-hour week law went into
effect December l, but because of
chorus of protests from industries and
municipal administrations, Ralph M.
Bashore, State secretary of labor and
industry, granted go days grace"
He served notice that after jan
uary 3 we are going to crack down."
and added that the grace" period was
only for those who could not immedi-
ately comply with the law.
Meantime, Holgate Bros, wood spe-
clallsts OF Kane, Pa, filed suit, asking
an injunction to prevent enforcement
of the act. Petitions were filed by 1877
other companies. to join in the action.
Attorney General Charles j. Mar
elotti asked the Supreme Court to
rule on the validity of the act, saying
he himself had questioned It.
Rejected by Operators.
The compensation law. a rewrite of
a 1915 act, likewise met legal obsta-
cles. Virtually the entire anthracite
field rejected it, the operators saying
they preferred to settle compensation
claims in the county courts.
Two bitum:nous producers, the rich
Hill Coal CO. and the Morrisdale Coal
Mining Co., obtained an Injunction.
The court held the law could be ap-
piled everywhere excepting at these
two plants. Forty-three anthracite
producers have signified their inten-
ton of joining the soft coal companies
In the suit.
The attorney general said he would
ask the Supreme Court also to rule
on the constitutionality of this act
next week.

More Freedom Urged
For Railways
By the Associated Pres

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON. Dec. 0.-ASSertlng that
taxpayers contribute S2000000000
year to provide highways, airways
and waterways for railroad competi-
tors. Frank j. Wall, vice president of
the New Haven Railroad. said today
the roads problems never will be
solved" until that subsidy" is dis
continued.
Some way must be found so the
several forms of transportation
which compete with the railroads
will pay the full cost of the water
ways, highways and airways and
all other facilities they require which
at present are provided at the ex-
pense of the taxpayers
There is nothing inherently
wrong with the railroads." Mr.. Wall
said in an address prepared for the
New England Shippers Advisory
Board
Protesting against laws that, he
said, "over-regulated the railroads
almost to the point of strangulation,"
Mr. Wall argued:
The railroads must be given more
freedom in making their rates so
that they can better meet the needs
of industry and business under the
changed conditions that exist" and
should be permitted to exercise the
same freedom of judgment and ini-
tiative that is enjoyed by every sue
ceSSful business in America"
