Cash Road Tax Now Being Paid Cen-
tre County Townships:
The State Highway Department
has announced that payment of the
cash tax bonus due townships in Cen-
tre county for the years 1913 and
1914 has been made by the State
Treasurer.
By Act of July 22nd, 1913, known
as the “Jones Dirt Road Act,” it was
provided that the road tax in town-
ships shall be collected in cash and
no taxes shall be payable in labor or
worked out. It was also provided
that each township furnish a sworn
annual report to the State Highway
Department showing all receipts and
expenditures during the past year;
and also a signed agreement showing
the proposed method of expending
funds received from the Common-
wealth. This, together with a copy of
the treasurer’s bond, entitled the
township to receive its share of the

annual bonus, which was ioe Yo
cover an annual reimbursement from
the State of 50 per cent. of the total
amount of road tax collected by the
township as shown in the sworn
statement, but not more than $20 per
mile of township road.
By Act of June 3rd, 1915, the pro-
visions of the Act of July 22nd, 1913,
were suspended until all deficiencies
incurred prior to the year 1915 be
paid by the Commonwealth of Penn-
sylvania. During the 1919 session of
the Legislature, an appropriation of
$1,142,049.38 was made to pay in full
all the deficiencies due the townships
and the certification of this bonus to
the State Treasurer for payment to
the townships is now under way.
The amounts now being paid the
townships in Centre county, all of
which will benefit by this appropria-
tion with the exception of Snow Shoe,
which did not comply with the re-
quirements of the Act, are as follows:

Lecturer Frederic William Wile Jus-
tifies His Position.
Frederic William Wile, the news-
paper writer-lecturer who talked on
«John Bull and Uncle Sam” at the
recent session of the Bellefonte Chau-
tauqua, justifies the position taken in
his lecture in the following letter sent
to Bellefonte for publication and
which is self-explanatory:
Swarthmore, Pa., Aug. 6.
My Dear Sir:
My attention has been called to the
report of my recent Chautauqua ad-
dress on “John Bull and Uncle Sam,”
in the Weekly Keystone Gazette, of
Bellefonte.
There are certain allusions in that
report that I would not like to pass
unanswered and unchallenged. The
editor takes me to task for not bring-
ing up the disagreeable episodes in
Anglo-American history such as
Britain's attitude during the Civil
war, ete. If I could be persuaded
that some useful purpose could be
cerved in reviving the memories of
ancient wrongs, I would not hesitate
to do so; but it seems to me as futile
and as pernicious to stir up the mud-
dy past with regard to Great Britain
as it would be to attempt, in the North
or the South, to warm up obsolete an-
imosities in connecction with the war
of the rebellion. These things are
better forgotten on both sides. My
mission on the Chautauqua platform
is not to make Anglo- -American mat-
ters worse. It is, in a modest and
humble way, to improve them. Men
like the editor of the Weekly Key-
stone Gazette may be gratifying their
personal spleen, and think they are
serving some narrow-minded partisan
interest, in continuing to twist the
British lion’s tail. But it seems to
me that we of America have advanc-
ed far beyond that stage, and should
view Anglo-American events through
the spectacles of 1919, and not the
dim glasses of 1776, 1812 or 1865. I
may be wrong about this, but it will
take men of more statesmanlike cali-
bFe than the editor of the Weekly
Keystone Gazette to convince me that
I am.
It has come to my ears that certain
residents of Bellefonte charge me
with being a “Democratic propagan-
dist sent here by the Administration.”
I wish they would make that accusa-
tion in some form which would permit
me to protect myself in the courts
against what amounts, of course, to
a grave and baseless slander.
It would give me great satisfaction
to know that you found opportunity
to publish these observations in Belle-
fonte, from which I came away with
the happiest of memories and impres-
sions.
Your very truly,
FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE.
