Save the Woodpeckers
Two very important small birds
with us all winter and
in orchards, are the Downy and Hairy
Woodpeckers. Members of this fami.
ly ean be known by their dipping
flight, their short, sharp notes, their
sharp rigid tail feathers pressed
against the tree for support, two toes
in front and two behiud insuring a
firmer grasp, their hard pecking
against wood, their modest white and
black colors, and the pateh of red on
the head of the male. They are found
mostly on the trunks and larger limbs
of the trees, head upward, searching
for] grubs, chrysalids, ete, They are
erroneously called ‘“‘SBapsuckers,’’ are
killed through ignorance of their own
value, They do not suck sap, and do
not injure the trees. Protect the
small woodpeckers of the winter time
and thus protect your fruit crops.

That we may intelligently under
stand the sources from which the!
State, County and local governments
derive their revenues it becomes neces
sary to make a detailed statement of
the appraised value of each subject of
taxation and the amount of taxes paid
with mill-rate. For this purpose we,
will first take up the Slate govern-
ment and its sources of revenue, Per
report Auditor General, 1901 page 3.
I'otal amount of revenues collected
for the division of State government
proper, $17,727,432 46. Ofthis amount
there were collected from interest on
State deposits, bonus on charters, fees
on writs, wills, deeds, collateral inher-
itance, sale of pamphlet laws, com-
missions, licenses, (retail and whole-
sale,) brokers, peddlers, theaters, eat-
ing houses, escheats and other sources
not actual taxes $5,505,810 46 leaving a
| balance of direct State taxes, collected
| from personal and corporate property,
per report of Auditor General, 1901,
| pages 1 and 2, $12,132,622.00, :
Next we must consider the apprais-
| ed value of real estate and amount of
| taxes paid. Theappraised value of the
real estate of the Commonwealth, tax-
able, as taken from the report of the
secretary of Internal Aflairs for 1901,
page 6 B is $2,776,829,685 00. This does
not include real estate exempted from
| taxation, such as is devoted to relig-
| ious, charitable and educational pur-
| poses valued at $302,541,059.00.
| © Aggregate revenues collected for the
| support of city, county, borough and
| township governments was, £57.,649,-
8549 Per Report Bee. Internal Af
fairs, 1001, page 205 B. To ascertain
| the entire of the loeal govern
ments we must add the BpPPro-
priation of $6,776,138 96, which makes
the actual cost of city, county and lo-
| eal governments $64,425,028 33.
