Tue Altoona Tribune, Republican,
says: The Philadelphia Press does
not seem to know that all the daily
newspapers of Blair county are oppos-
ed to the bill pensioning judges, and
that all the weeklies which have ex-
pressed an opinion are on the same
side, save the one it quotes. It may
surprise the Press to know that an
overwhelming majority of the voters
of this county, and of most others, are
opposed to this bill, and that its en-
actment into a law by the present leg-
islature would probably result in a Re-
publican defeat. That is the situation
and it is well enough to face it,

dispose of the income tax cases, upon’

hear the argument for a rehearing will
settle the whole business, as it is un-
derstood the other eight members of
the court are equally divided; but
should he vote for a rehearing it will
be left open until that rehearing has
taken place and a decision shall have
been handed down, and that may not
be until after the first of July, which
is the last day upon which the income
tax can be paid without a penalty.
The votes by which bonds and rents
