There is little reason for surprise that the Supreme court has declared uncon- stitutional the Act of the Legislature of 1913, levying a tax on anthracite coal. The constitution of 1874 declares that “all taxes shall be uniform, upon the same class of subjects, within the terri- torial limits of the authority levying the tax and shall be levied and collected under general laws.” But coal is coal, though there are various kinds, such as anthracite, bituminous, semi-bituminous and cannel coal. If the Act had levied a tax on any or all kinds of coal, the tax would have been uniform and within the provisions of the constitution. Taxing one kind, however, and exempting others, is discriminatory. The idea of taxing anthracite coal is a product of the brain of ex-Governor SAMUEL W. PENNYPACKER and may not have been intended to produce revenue for the State. It was made the justifica- tion for increasing the price of anthracite coal to the extent of several times the amount of the tax and it is estimated that something like $9,000,000 have been gained by the coal operators in this way. Of course it will be impossible to refund this money to the consumers who have paid it and the most likely solution of the problem thus creatéd will be that the operators will retain it. The burden upon the consumers was heavy. But the political inachine of which PENNYPACKER is an apostle has scant sympathy for con- sumers who are poor. The Auditor General has begun pro- ceedings to escheat the money acquired by the tax now in the hands of the coal operators but that is not likely to be ac complished. The tax fund does not come within the legal or literal definition of escheatable property nor are the condi- tions under which it was created such as to make such proceedings successful. The probabilities are, therefore, that the mon- ey will go to those who have present possession of it and those out of whose pockets it has been extracted may con- sole themselves with the hope that the decision will be followed by a decrease of the price of anthracite coal equal to the increase that followed the passage of the law. Encouragement for the-Women Tuesday: Notwithstanding the persistent predic- tion made by the chairman of both the Democratic and Republican parties, that the vote in Centre county on the Suffrage amendment would be 4 to 1 against the women, the official count indicates that the men of Centre county are men, and intend to recognize the rights of their right minded women. Carrying 12 pre- cincts of the county, including the bor- oughs of Philipsburg, State College, Snow Shoe and Unionville with good majori- ties, is stimulant enough to encourage these progressive women in undertaking the work of immediate re-organization, with a view to preparing for the cam- paign of 1920. During the short period of work dating from January 1st, 1915, under the leadership of Mrs. Robert Beach, twenty-five organizations have been formed in the county, and all financed by individuals, who had nothing , to lose or nothing to gain, save the aiding of a cause which means success for the earnest determined women of Pennsylvania, who will know no defeat in their effort to get what has rightfully belonged to them for many years. The result of Tuesday’s election in Pennsyl- vania should convince them that their goal is but a short way off. President Wilson’s Plans. President WILSON’S conservative plans of increasing the defensive facilities of the country are gaining in favor, not- withstanding the activities of the sup- porters of militarism and the advocates of “peace at any price.” Both these ele- ments have worked mischief but happily the saving force of common sense has minimized the evil and guided the pub- *lic mind to approval of the President's programme. The army will be increas- ed but not to such an extent as will be burdensome to maintain and the naval equipment will be improved as rapidly as the conditions require. But no headlong or absurd competion with other powers will be undertaken while the present executive is in control. : In 1870 the population of the United States was 28,558,321 and the maximum strength of the regular army about 25, 000 men. Now the population is easily 100,000,000, or nearly three times that. of forty-five years ago. Measured by popu- lation alone a standing army of 75,000 men now would be equal to that of the former date. But in 1870 our military as well as other operations were limited to this continent while now more than the number of men in the army then are required for service in Porto Rico, the Philippines and Hawaii. But in wealth and material resources the increase has been vastly greater than in population [ity in this line throughout Centre and Judge Sheriff || Proth’y || Treas Regis. || Recorder || Commissioner Dis.

There could be no greater crime against the people of the United States than converting them from peace loving and justice practicing purposes into the spirit of militarism. Every cherished tradition of the country made for prog- ress in the paths of peace and develop- ment along the lines of Christian civili- zation. To alter this trend of thought and aspiration for achievement into a backward course toward barbarism would be a refinement of cruelty. But that is precisely what the advocates of militar ism would lead to and the advocates of “peace at any price” are contributing to the evil result by strengthening the others. The President’s plan is sane and safe and present indications are for it. ——As a rank outsider, so far as mili- tary experience goes, we suggest that somebody turn the hose on VILLA.

Cowdrick died at the home of his father-in-law, Harry Heltman, in Lock Haven, at 7.45 o'clock on Monday morning. The young man spent the past few months in the Lock Haven hospital but realizing that the end was near he was removed to the home of his father-in-law on Sunday. Deceased was a son of Paxton and Mary Cowdrick and was born in Belle- fonte on Christmas day, 1894, hence was not quite twenty-one years old. His boy- hood life was spent here but when a youth his parents moved to Niagara Falls where he lived until his marriage less than a year ago to Miss Heltman, since which time he lived in Lock Ha- ven. He was employed as a weaver at the silk mill in Lock Haven until illness overtook him. He was a member of the Trinity M. E. church of that place and an exemplary young man in every way. He also belonged to Washington Camp No. 195, P. O. S. of A. of Lock Haven. Surviving him are his wife and mother.

The program for Farmers’ Week at the Pennsylvania State College in December : has been arranged with the idea of cov- ering as far as possible every subject of interest to the farmer and his wife. There will be lectures on various phases of dairying and livestock work, horticul- ture and its allied branches, soils and farm forestry; and on subjects pertain- ing to domestic science and household art. One of the big problems which the farmer faces today is that of the econom.- ic distribution or marketing of his pro- ducts. H. W. Selby, a member of one of the largest commission firms in Phila- delphia, who has made a study of mar- keting problems, will give three lectures. Mr. Selby will take as the subject for one of his lectures “Principles of Marketing,” for another “Advertising and Publicity,” and for a third, “Co-operation.” H. W. Jeffers, manager of the famous Walker-Gordon dairy farms at Plains- boro, New Jersey, where about 2000 tons of alfalfa were raised during the past year, will discuss some of the problems of dairy farm management. Mr. Jeffers is in demand as a speaker at agricultural meetings in his own State and elsewhere and State College is for- tunate in securing his services for Farm- ers’ Week. an — ' With the Churches of the County.

M. B. GLANDING, Pastor. Rev. LEW ERHARD SINGULARLY HON- ORED.—The following from the Donora American of O tober 8th records rather an unusual trioute to Bellefonte’s one time grocer man. We remember Rev. Erbard as the senior partner of the firm of Erhard and Shuey. Then he had no eclesiastical handle to his name, and to tell the truth, made more of a hobby of good horses than he did of things scrip- tural. There is kind of a tradition that part of the equipment of the old time circuit riding Methodist preachers was a certain amount of D.vid Harmanesque- ness and possibly, it was the evolution of that weakness in Lew Erhard that brought Rev. Erhard to working so won- derfully in his Master's vineyard. The highest tribute ever paid a min- ister in Donora came to Rev. R. L. Erhard, pastor of the Methodist church, this week when a number of the leading business and professional men addressed a letter to the Pittsburgh conference, now in session, asking that Rev. Erhard be returned to the local charge. The letter was not signed by members of the church but by others who recognize the splendid work Rev. Erhard has done here. The letter follows: DONORA, PA., September 29, 1915. Rev. J. H. Miller, D. D,, Pittsburgh, Pa. Dear Sir—We take the liberty of ad- dressing you in a matter that is of in- terest to us as citizens of Donora, al- though we are not members of the Methodist Episcopal church. We understand that there is a pos- sibility that Rev. R. L. Erhard will be assigned to another charge after your next annual conference. Having observ- ed the results that Rev. Erhard has ac- complished during his two years work in this field, and believing that the good of the community as well as of his charge will be best served if he is retained for a longer period, we take this opportunity of expressing to you our opinion on this subject, and would respectfully request that if it will not interfere with the work of your church in this district, that he be assigned to the Donora church for another year. We are addressing this letter to you without having consulted with any mem- ber of Mr. Erhard’s church, and while we have his consent to take this action, we assure you that it is entirely unsolic- ited on his part, and is prompted solely by our appreciation of his fair, manly and vigorous attitude toward all questions which concern the civic welfare of our community. : Singer Falls Dead In Choir Miss Lizzie ¥.
