BELLEFONTE. PA.. AUGUST 9. 1929.
NO. S31.
Real Farm Relief Assured. :
We have been forced to a change
of opinion on the effect of tariff tax-
ation on the products of the farm.
After several years of more or less
careful investigation of the subject
it seemed impossible to benefit an in-
dustry which had no foreign market,
except for surplus products, by legis-
lation which increased the price of
every article essential to its opera-
tion. Pyramiding the cost of pro-
duction without enlarging the sales
area or the market price had no logi- :
cal appeal to our mind and as the im-
portation of farm products is at best
negligible there could be little, if
any, advantage come to it by levying
impost duties high or low.
But the pending tariff bill now un-
der construction in the Senate Com-
mittee on Finance presents the mat-
ter in an entirely different aspect. It
was the purpose of the Republican
majority of the committee to per-
form its work in secrecy so that
when completed it might dazzle the
public mind with its perfection. But,
Senator Couzens, of Michigan,
though a Republican, is not in sym-
pathy with secrecy in public affairs
and revealed to a group of news
writers some of the provisions of the
bill which have been agreed upon
finally. Through this expression of |
party recalcitrancy the public gets |
information that when this bill is]
enacted into law the embattled farm-
ers will be in clover.
Senator Couzens assures the strug-
gling agriculturists of the middle
west, according to a United Press
correspondent, that the new tariff
bill contemplates an increase in tariff
taxes on fresh milk to six cents a
gallon, on cream to fifty-six and six-
tenths cents a gallon and on skim-
med milk to two and one-tenth cents
a gallon. This concession to the
farmers of Nebraska and Iowa is
certainly a guarantee against coms |
petition from the milkmen of Europe
so far as fresh milk and cream are
concerned, and unless they are mar-
ble-hearted wretches, they will ac-
cept this beneficence of the Republi-
can Congressional machine as a

Pre-eminent Fault of the Tariff Bill.
Commenting on the pending tariff
bill the more or less esteemed New
York Nation declares that it “will
determine whether the power to levy
taxes shall remain with Congress
where it was vested by the constitu-
tion or shall be transferred to the
President.” The increase in the cost
of living of between $600,000,000 and
$700,000,000 and other montrous pro-
visions, in the estimation of our New
York contemporary, “are transient
iniquities” compared with this pre-
eminent fault. It would give the ad-
ministration power to increase the
rates of tarff taxation to any level
desired by the Grundies and other in-
satiable tariff mongers of the coun-
try.
The present tariff law provides for
such an infraction of the constitution
but under restraint. That is upon
the recommendation of a bipartisan
tariff commission the President has
authority to increase or decrease tar-
iff schedules fifty per cent., and there
is a right of appeal to the courts.
But the pending measure creates a
partisan commission to be appointed
by the President and an appeal to
the Secretary of the Treasury who is
also appointed by the President. In
other words it vests in the adminis-
tration abso'ute control of tariff
rates and completely nullifies section
eight of article one of the constitu-
tion which declares “the Congress
shall have power to levy and collect
taxes, duties imposts and excises.”
For years this has been the major
aspiration of the greedy tariff mon-
gers. Under the false pretense of
protecting infant industries and the
equally fraudulent claim of boosting
wages these party pets have been
‘ salaries for the army, navy,
robbing the people of the country of
conceivable expedient. But not until
the close of the World War were they
able to put this iniquity across. In
the writing of the present law it was
incorporated in the milder form and
the public made little or no protest.
That encouraged them to the more
wanton outrage of the constitution
which is contemplated in the pending
legislation. If it succeeds it will mark
the “beginning of the end,” of con-
stitutional government.

of the
Equality in Service Salaries.
The expressed purpose of President
Hoover to trim downward the ex-
penses of the government is being
bumped in every direction. In pursu-
ance of that idea the President re-
cently appointed an “inter-depart-
mental board” to survey the subject
and find out where cuts in expenses
might be made. This board made its
report the other day but instead of
recommending decreases in expenses
it finds urgent need for increases
amounting to several millions of dol-
lars annually. The increases are in
marine
corps, coast guard, geodetic survey
and the public health service. If
| these recommendations are approved
by Congress there will be no tax re-
ductions in the near future.
The board is composed of officers
of the various branches, was created
at the suggestion of Secretary of
the Navy Adams and operated under
the chairmanship of Rear Admiral
McNamee. It spared neither pains
nor labor in its investigations and
based its recommendation for in-
crease of salaries in the services
named on similar boosts recently
voted by Congress in other branches,
and the purchasing power of the
dollar now as compared with 1908
when the last pay scale was adopted.
For example, since that time the
salaries of Congressmen have been
increased thirty-three per cent, those
of cabinet members twenty-five per
cent, and in the diplomatic service
175 per cent., while those of the
army and navy have been cut three
per cent.
Of course government expenses
ought to be “cut to the bone,” but
there is no real economy in starving
faithful and efficient employees, and
there is mighty little justice in lib-
erality in one class and parsimon-
Senator Borah Objects to Plan.
Senator Borah, chairman of the
Senate committee on Foreign Rela-
tions, is not quite satisfied with the
progress of megotiations for naval
parity between Great Britain and
the United States. It seems to have
been decided to effect the equaliza-
tion, not by cutting down the exist-
ing equipment but by building up to
to it. Great Britain has now in com-
mission or in process of construction
fifty-nine modern cruisers and the
United States only eighteen. But
Great Britain is not willing to scrap
a sufficient number of her ships of
that type to establish a parity though
entirely willing that the United
States shall build up to the level. Mr.
Borah thinks this “means little.”
When the Washington conference
was held in 1922 it was estimated
that in capital ships the United
States had in commission or in
course of construction a considerable
lead but it was not agreed that Great
Britain might build up to that stand-
ard. On the contrary our represen-
tatives in the conference agreed to
scrap approximately $100,000,000
worth of perfectly good battleships,
one of which had just been complet-
ed. But no limit had been placed on
the construction of cruisers and
Great Britain continued building
them with increased energy and ex-
pedition. Scrapping expensive war-
ships is a costly process, however,
and the British statesmen are not
given to indulgence in such profli-
gacy.
In view of the reluctance of Great
Britain to scrap to a parity instead
of our building up to it Senator Borah
is somewhat discouraged. In a state-
ment made pubile, the other day, he
said, “parity coupled with reduction
, means much, means a great deal.
| But parity coupled merely with limi-
iousness in another. The report of | tation, means very little. If I under-
the inter-departmental board alleges
that the cost of living has increased
since 1908 fully 104 per cent., and if
that be true it hits the army and
navy men quite as hard as it swipes
the Senators and Congressmen who
seem to have “got theirs” in
what Congress will do with the * re-
port, but in any event it may be set
down as certain that the average
American citizen is in favor of even-
handed justice in all things.

Vare’s Machine in Distress.
Political gossip in Philadelphia, if
it could be taken seriously, indicates
a precarious future for the Vare ma-
chine. Mr. Vare has been diligently
capitalizing his infirmities with the
obvious purpose of intrenching his
power in public sympathy. But re-
cent incidents point to waning alle-
giance in so many directions that it
would seem an early collapse is in-
evitable. His latest expedient to
avert the impending climax is is-
olation in some secluded retreat in
Maine or Canada, ‘far from the
maddening crowd” where protests
against his arrogance cannot reach
him and sympathy for this infirmi-
ties may continue to serve his pur-
pose through another campaign.
The latest, but not the most seri-
ous, menace to Mr. Vare’s mastery
comes from his most servile, as well
as his most generously rewarded
follower. Mayor Mackey had a can-
didate for one of the most lucrative
jobs to be filled at the coming elec-
tion and Mr. Vare turned him down.
Thereupon the Mayor entered pro-
test against the ‘one-man system”
and issued a proclamation to the ef-
fect that “after all no one but the
voters of the respective parties has a:
right to say who shall be the candi-
dates.” The Mayor, by reason of the
favors Vare has bestowed upon him,
has a considerable following and if
he had courage to assert himself
might prove a formidable force.
But Mr. Vare has little to fear
from that source unless other discon-
tented sub-bosses will organize an
opposition of sufficient strength to
give promise of success. There are
plenty of rumors of such an organi-
| zation and some of them are backed
by men of courage and character.
Mr. Vare has already selected the
candidates but has not revealed
their names so that it is difficult for
his opponents to concentrate. But it
may be safely predicted that unless
the name of Controller Hadley is on
his roster a formidable revolt will
materialize. It is an equally safe bet
that Mayor Mackey wiil support the
Vare slate, no matter how it is made
up.
——The conference on the Young
plan is in session at he Hague with
prospects of a long drawn out talk-
fest.
: stand the report of our Navy Depart-
i ment correctly, Great Britain has
, how 59 modern cruisers, built or
| pulang, a tonnage of 375,300. We
now have 18 modern cruisers built or

parity it vastly increases the burdens

Inspectors Gunning for Unlicensed
Dogs.
Two hundred thousand unlicensed
dogs roamed the streets and fields of
Pennsylvania before the present
State dog law was enacted eight
years ago, according to the Pennsyl-
vania Department of Agriculture.
These roving dogs killed or maimed
thousands of domestic animals and
poultry. The sheep industry had
been practically wiped out in many
sections. Wild game depredations by
dogs exceeded all illegal killing. Mad
dogs were a serious menace to human
life.
Today the number of unlicensed
dogs is very small compared to the
number licensed, and each day the
number is being reduced. Sixteen
thousand two hundred and sixty-five
worthless dogs were disposed of last
year and 9,906 during the first six
months this year. Almost 450,000
dogs are now licensed, 15,000 more
than for the corresponding time last
year, and only 40,000 less than for all
of 1928.
A special effort is being made by
the department to round up and
prosecute all negligent dog owners.
Four thousand six hundred and sixty
owners have been fined already this
year. 1,000 more than during the
corresponding period a year ago.

Petitioners in Road Case Must Pay
All Costs.
Judge Fleming, on Tuesday, hand-
ed down an opinion and decree in the
celebrated Patton township road case
in which he dismissed the petition and
decreed that the costs be paid by the
petitioners.
The case dates back to the sum-
mer of 1925 when the township sup-
ervisors, J. W. Hartsock, A. C. Thom-
as and J. W. Blair, began the erec-
tion of a house in which to store
road machinery. Some of the tax-
payers were opposed to spending
money for such a building, claiming
that it ought to be used to put the
roads in better condition. The re-
sult was an action brought against
the supervisors for failing to main-
tain the township roads and also one
to restrain them from erecting a
“town house.” At that time Arthur
C. Dale was judge of the courts of
Centre county but it was not until
the late Judge Harry Keller was on
the bench that the first hearing was
held. The hearing was continued be-
fore Judge James C. Furst and reach-
ed its final stages before Judge
Fleming.
' In the meantime all the above nam-
ed supervisors except one are out of
office and the town house, which was
only partially completed, has decayed
and fallen down. In his opinion Judge
Fleming stated that the building: of
a town house does not in any way
constitute a neglect or refusal to per-
form their duties on the part of the
supervisors.
Quoting from the report of the
viewers appointed on the case he
cites that there are 32 miles of road-
way in the township and the super-
visors had only 2700 in road tax to
expend to keep the roads in condition.
So far as the evidence showed there
was no laxity of duty on their part.
They might not have discharged the
duties of their office as others would
have done, but they acted according
to their best judgment, hence he could
find no cause for delinquency and no
evidence to sustain the allegation of
negligence on the part of the peti-
tioners. And for these reasons the
petition was dismissed at the cost of
the petitioners.
While quite a number of taxpayers
of the township were identified with
the drawing of the petition, among
the names appended to it in the court
action were those of George Steven-
son and William Furst.

his spare time playing “with ropes, his
father, J. C. Stewart said.
—Harry A. Miller, of Rockwood, Pa.,
Somerset county, former postmaster at
that place, has been held to await the ac-
tion of the federal grand jury, under $2,-

post-office funds. According to postal in-
spector William M. Calvert, Miller, July
19, converted to his own use $1,300, which
is alleged he took from the postal funds.
—Frank McCauley, residing near Kar-
thaus, is in the Clearfield Memorial hos-
pital suffering with a badly fractured
back received when a fall of rock struck
him while at work in the Holt mine at
Newgarden, not far from Karthaus. When
removed to the hospital it was disclosed
on examination that several vertebrae in
his back were shattered. Reports from
the hospital give his condition as hopeful.
—Lewis Bogner, Esq., Allport's grand
old man, who celebrated his 92nd birth-
day last June, suffered a light stroke a
few days ago and is now bedfast. His
legion of friends, who know of his re-
markable vitality, are hoping he may
speedily recover and that his presence on
the streets of the little village where he
has lived and been an honorad citizen for
40 many years may be in evidence again.
—After reading a published note left by
a suicide, who wrote that he believed
hanging was the best way to end life
when a man got old and was ill, Philip
Rider, 78, a farmer residing near Blooms-
burg, left his home on Monday. His
youngest son, Cecil, aged 7, found his
father’s body hanging from a beam in the
barn. Rider is survived by his widow
and ten children. He had been ill for
some time. !
Disappointment at finding no water-
melons in box cars into which he had
broken was so poignant for Robert Taylor,
34, Negro, of Pittsburgh, that he set fire
to the cars, causing more than $1000 dam-
age. In court he pleaded guilty to an
arson charge and was sentenced to serve
two years in the workhouse. Taylor had
seen watermelon rinds on the ground
near the cars and had assumed the lus-
cious fruit awaited him inside.

beat out the flames. Physicians said
Good’s condition was critical.
—Fifteen passengers in an Indianapolls
bound Greyhound bus escaped from the
vehicle unhurt in Mt. Lebanon, near Pitts-

machine was* badly damaged by fire. Po-
lice estimated that baggage burned was
worth upward of $5,000. A passenger first
noticed fire spurting through the floor,
according to police reports. The driver,
after assisting the passengers to alight,
tried to put out the flames with anex- =
tinguisher but failed, and the fire spread
to the gas tank and an explosion resulted.
—The suicide of district attorney N.
W. Rosenberg, Fayette county, at Union-
town, Saturday was due, in the belief of
associates, to strain which he had under-
gone in connection with the inquiry into
the slaying last Wednesday of John F.
Donohoe, alleged victim of bootleg war-
fare. Rosenberg’s body, with a bullet
wound in the head, was found in his of-
fice an hour after he had conferred with
Major Lynn G. Adams, head of the State
constabulary, and other investigators.
The conference was said to have been one
of a series called to consider the Donohoe
case since the state police head arrived at
Uniontown, on Friday.
—The Shamokin-Mt Carmel Transit com-
pany office at Green Ridge, was entered
on Sunday and thieves escaped with $400
in cash. Trooper Michael Sersent, of the
Sunbury State Police is conducting an in-
vestigation. A rear door located in the
car barn was forced open and the thieves
made their way to the office with flash-
lights and forced open the safe door with
chisels. The bandits had little trouble
in breaking open the second door. The
interior of the safe was thoroughly ciean-
ed and the receipts of the week-end busi-
ness of the trolley line removed. The
theft was discovered after 4 o'clock and
the police were notified but the bandits
did not leave a single clue.
—A sentence of 18% to 37 years in the
western penitentairy was given John
Moszcenski, 28, at Somerset, on Monday,
who plead guilty last week to participat-
ing in the $4,600 robbery of a bank at
Central City, June 6. The prisoner was
captured at Buffalo, N. Y., several weeks
after the robbery, Moszcenski refused to
tell where the stolen money was hidden.
The court had promised leniency if the
hiding place was revealed. Three come
panions who had a part in the robbery al-
so were sentenced to long terms in prison.
Moszcenski and two others were members
of the gang formerly led by Paul Jawor-
ski, who was electrocuted at Rockview
penitentiary early this year for murder.
