TWO COURTS.
Two courts were
nor casees in the arbitration room be-
low. Judge Furst is certainly trying
to get all service out of the jurors pos-
sible and expediting business. The
associate judges and idle jurors were
thus given active employment and
earned their per diems. Reform in
holding courts is needed in almost
every county in the state; there has
money by killing time and doing
gants are being summoned to the coun-
ty seat from term to term to return
again without anything being done.
While we talk of tax reform, road
inaugurated in the old style of heap-
ing up expenses and killing time al
what is called court, but often is near-
er a farce. Much depends upon judg-
a public servant who tries to do his du-
ty at the least possible expense to the
taxpayer.

THE NILES TAX BILL DEFEATED
On Tuesday the house killed two
measures of great importance to the
state of Pennsylvania —the Crothers
rapid transit bill and the Niles double
tax bill—and passed the Nesbitt road
bill.
The Niles bill was the special order
for the morning session and was taken
up on third reading shortly before
eleven o'clock. The hall of the house
ed in the measure who wondered to
themselves whether it would receive
the necessary 103 votes to passit. It
lacked seventeen votes on second read-
final passage it would be certain to se-
cy. It required considerable time to
read the bill. Clerks Voorhees and
Fetterhoff taking turns at it. The
vote for the bill was 69 against 120.
McCormick and Schofield voted for
the bill.

THE LEGISLATIVE Record now goes
through the mails attached to a 2-cent
stamp. The cause for this was the re-
cent ruling of Postmaster General Bis
sel in excluding the Record from being
carried as second class matter. The
postage on the Record will run up to a
large sum during a session and the
only advantage gained will be the re-
ducing of the state surplus, and job-
bery by the Republican machine.
Ir CENTRE COUNTY is tacked on to
Clinton as a judicial district, as per the
house bill, then the district would
have two judges for about two years,
Judge Furst would serve until his time
expires which will be inside of two
years, and Judge Mayer would serve
until the expiration of his term which
has about eight years to run yet
Under this arrangement there would
be no election for president judge in
the district until after the expiration
of Judge Mayer's term.

been keeping within the bounds of en-

Mountain Fires,
The last several days the Seven

been burning, and the flames seem to
spread over considerable area. In day
time the fire is plainly discernible by
the clouds of smoke roiling heaven-

of flame,
Mountain fires destroy much valua-
