‘Squeezing Auto Owners.
Ten years ago in the heat of war
mericans were willing to pay any
sort of a tax. But a decade later
they justifiably object if the govern-
ment still insists on collecting taxes
levied purely as emergency war
measures.
Such a levy was the automobile ex-
cise tax. The manufacturer, to whom
the government looks for collection,
passes it on to the dealer and he in
turn shoulders the responsibility on to
the automobile buyer, who belongs to
that large and long-suffering class
known as the ultimate consumer.
The automobile manufacturers have
pleaded with each Congress for the
ast several years for relief from this
urdensome tax placed on the indus-
try. Last year it was reduced, but
not entirely eliminated, and this year
the makers are engaged in a deter-
mined attempt to convince Congress
that the automobile should not be
ful percolator set at $54

loaded down with an excise tax.
The “pleasure car” tax is unjust.
Furthermore, the “pleasure car” has
passed on into the limbo of the al-
most forgotten past. There just isn’t
“any such animal.” Few automobiles
today are used for strictly pleasure
purposes.
The automobile has earned a place
among the things which have been
found to be of genuine service. Al-
though a means of providing pleas-
ure, it is at the same time a service
vehicle which could not be dispensed
with as business is now conducted. It
is pressed into daily use. No longer
does the automobile owner “store” his
i car for the winter. He needs it for
protection from the weather and in
attending to business affairs.
The automobile has been over-bur-
dened with taxation and to insist on
it continuing to help pay for the war
is unfair. First comes the local prop-
erty tax, then the registration or li-
cense plate fee, and in most States a
gasoline tax. The automobile owner
deserves more consideration from
Congress than he has been getting.

Fisher Rod and Gun Club Held Annual
Turkey Spread. :
Saturday,” December 10th, was the
red letter day for the deer season in
the Bear Meadows district, when the
Fisher Rod and Gun club, of Boals-
burg, gave its annual turkey spread
in its capacious camp, which was ap-
propriately decorated and literally ov-
erflowed with guests which included
a number of distinguished citizens of
Pennsylvania and other States.
The club outdone all former ef-
forts along this line as well as in en-
tertaining the many prominent men
who enjoyed its hospitality. It was
a regular metropolitan dinner, served
in such a manner that it was hard
to realize that the scene was so far
from civilization, in a camp which
nestles snugly against the fifth of
the Seven ‘mountains, close to the
Sassafras spring and adjoining the
Bear Meadows, all within the beauti-
ful Tussey range in Centre county,
one of the most delightful spots in
the State
Professor O. F. Smith, of State Col-
lege, occupied the important position
as toastmaster, and responses were
made by former Governor Martin G.
Brumbaugh, now president of Juni-
ata College, Huntingdon; Dean G. S.
Wendt, Dr. W. R. Ham, Col. C. Me-
Laughlin, Prof. R. O. O’Donnell, of
State College; J. E. Thompson, of
Cambridge, Ohio, and J. M. Keller,
chief of the department of silvicul-
ture, Harisburg.
At 8.30 o’clock members of the Sun-
bury camp arrived to pay their re-
spects, taking with them an organ,
and materially assisted in entertain-
ing the banqueters with music. They
had a splendid male quartette which
rendered delightful music, including
some of the old-time songs. Among
their number was Glen Seigel, who
has been on the stage for years and
whose songs have been heard from
coast to coast, who sang several fine
solos, the musical program ending
with “The Silent Hunt,” in which
everybody joined. It was a late hour
when “good nights” were said and
most of the guests left for their
homes. The club register showed the
following guests present:
F. M. Torrence, of Dale camp.
Martin G. Brumbaugh, Chester J. Lang-
don, George B. Snyder, Hugh L. Carey
and 8. Harold Fisher, Huntingdon.

Prize Essays for School Teachers.
The Woman’s Christian Temper-
ance Union of Centre county has de-
cided to give the teachers of the pub-
lic schools an opportunity to compete
for a prize by writing an essay. The
teachers have so much responsibility
in connection with the yearly contests
among children that an innovation to
add to their interest seems richly de-
served.
The subject chosen for the essay is
a review of the book, “Prohibition at
Its Worst,” a book already in many
of the school libraries in the county.
Complete rules and regulations of the
contest may be obtained of Mrs.
Maude Herman, Pleasant Gap.
As the first prize will be ten dol-
lars, and there will also be other
prizes, it is expected that many teach-
ers will enter the contest. Those wish-
ing to do so should communicate with
Mrs. Herman as soon as possible.

—The Street committee and bor-
ough manager got a job on their
hands, this week, they didn’t expect
when they undertook to straighten up
the stone pavement along Spring
Creek, on South Water Street. For
several years the stone has sagged
toward the creek and in some
places was ten inches to a foot lower
than the curb. They engaged M. R.
Johnson to do the work and when
the flagstone were removed it was
discovered that some twenty-five or
thirty feet of the wall had bulged out
toward the creek a sufficient distance
to make it quite dangerous, and the
only thing to do was tear the wall
down and rebuild it, which they are
doing.
