The ruling of Referee In Bankruptcy
Ott, of Camden, that 1000 stockholders of
the defunct Llnwood-Halnes Company
must pay up on their shares of the In

the shareholders, who today engaged
counsel to defend their Interests. Charges
were made today that J. Mercey Davis,
who moved for the ruling, "misled" one
half the stockholders when they took over
the assets of the Insolvent company and
formed tho United Distributing Company
in its place.
The shareholders, many of whom are
connected with the distributing company,
assert tha,t they were promised total Im
munity from the claims of creditors when
thoy took over $14,500 in available assets
of the Insolvent company. If the present

HIGH TAX BUGABOO
GETTING DEATH BLOWS
( ontlimeil frmn l'axe One
West Philadelphia and consequently
greater income for the city to such an
extent as to make similar transit exten
sions in other parts of the city promise a
further property rise, which In Itself
would by a very wide margin pay for the
construction of the Taylor comprehensive
b stem in the years to come To this was
added the testimony of Select Councilman
Ulrlch, of the 42d Ward, the Olney, Logan
and Oak Lane section, to tha enormous
Increase In taxablo property In his ward
"solely on prospects "
On Mr, Ulrlch's figures, applying thorn
to the other sections of the city, a start
ling Increase In the city's Income could
be estimated He said that of the entire
Increase in taxable property for 1915 of
$25,000,000, tho 42U Ward returned
$5,000,000. or one-fifth of the entire
amount, solely on the prospects which
actually yield to the city $750,000 per
annum; and that at a conservative esti
mate $10,000,000 more would bo returned
In the next two years, making a total of
$15,000,000, on which the returns to the
city would be equal to $2,350,000,
But the Taylor plan advocates, in work
ing up their arguments, led up to what
they considered their most crushing blow
by saying that It was not necessary to
count on the revenues to be expected in
directly from property Increment alone,
but that It vvas also possible to calculate
on actual additions which the city U
certain to And in Its Income.
Had the Twining plan men, they asked,
considered the additional revenue to be
gotten from gas receipts, beginning 21
months from now? That would be about
$500,000 a year. And hadn't they also
forgotten to count on the 1 mill personal
property tax surrendered by the State in
aid of transit development, $280,000 per
year?
The United Gas Improvement Company
pays to the city for gas sold all In excess
of 80 cents per 1000 cublo feet, or 30 cents
on the dollar; but after January 1, 1918,
the company must pay the city alt In ex
cess of 75 cents per 1000 feet, or 25 cents
on the dollar This Increase in revenue
to the city based on the nearly $3 009.009
received in 1916, and not allowing for
the increased use of gas In the future.

The root of all evil, nccordlng to Gus,
Is too many dead roots which are lying

GU3 is Interested In botany Whenever
he sees a tired looking tree ho uproots
It. Ous argues that trees havo contagious
diseases Just Uko humans, and one that
is sick ought to be removed He found
a tree suffering from many afflictions on
a lot near Stonehouse lane Uua got a
strangle hold on Its trunk nnd wrestled
with It for fully half an hour.
Off in the distance a mounted cop saw
Gua struggling The bluecoat couldn't
make sure who his opponent was on ac
count of the hazy atmosphere. But the
struggle looked desperate so the cop urged
his horse to go the limit
When he saw who Gus's opponent was
he nearly fell from the horse In utter
amazement As he drew near, Ous finally
dislodged the tree and started toward the
roadside with it
"What's the Idea?" asked the cop.
"It's my Idea," declared Qus. "I believe
in killing all things that's useless, if I
had the price of poison I'd practice on
roeself."
"You need a rest," said the cop, "and
you better come along."
Qus was induced to part with the tree
and appeared somewhat confused before
Magistrate Baker.
On hearing the prisoner's hobby the
Judge said he deserved commendation.
"What ever started you on the tree cam

"Whenever I see an old tree standln',"
said Ous, "I'm afraid it will be struck be
Ughtnln an' kill somebody. One fell on
me once and it missed me by half an inch.
An' then I like to knock them down just
fer the exercise it gives me." ,
The sergeant reminded the Magistrate
that considerable wood was needed for
the winter and he whispered a suggestion.
"As you like exercise," said the Judge,
"you can go to the cellar and get busy on
next winter s woodpile."
"That's better than Holmesburg." said
Gus, and he peeled off hU coat to serve
the sentence.
