TUANS Fort CHANOES
"If they are dealers, contractors or manu
facturers, having an output, they can be
icensed the same as 'the venders or dealer,
in goods, wares or merchandise1 as under
the act of May 2. JJ9. 1 think this act
should be altered to make a uniform charge
lJ'r thound on all sales of dealers
and the output of manufacturers. No man
who Is able to eell 1100,000 worth of goods
In the city of Philadelphia should object to
paying $100 to the city that gives him that
opportunity. For agents, brokers or pro
fcnslonal men there I. no fairer way than
that In which the real estate broker Is
taxed under the act of May 7. 1907. This
act charges practically one-half of one per
cent of a broker's gross receipts, and 1
think that any doctor, lawyer or profes.
slonal man whose gross receipts amount
to 120,000 per annum ought to be able to
pay that amount, which would be 1100 on
that largo Income."
TAXINO OF COIirortATIONS
Mr. Dallam advocates taxation ot cor.
poratlons. In this regard he states: "I
took the trouble to count the number of
corporations In one office building In this
city and I found that there 241. Not one
of them paid a cent of taxes to the city."
In urging taxation of banks and trust
companies, Mr. Dallam pointed out that
In New York the city collects one per cent,
on bank shares, measured by capital, sur
plus and undivided profits.
In conclusion, Mr. Dallam Issues a call
for real estate owners of Philadelphia to
stand together on the taxation Isjue.
"We must now," he said, "as real estate
owners stand together and demand that the
other nine-tenths of ested capital pay Its
share. We have the power. I estimate
that there are at least 160,000 Individual
taxpayers who pay taxes on real estate.
It Is for us to organlxe amid that class
Bucn opposition to the Increase of taxes that
the municipal authorities will not dare to
put It upon us."
.WEST PHILADELPHIA DEALERS
WANT RUFFIANS DRIVEN AWAY
Business Men Ask More Police to Stop
Rowdyism
That the neighborhood of Fifty-second
and Market streets has become the haunt
of young ruffians was charged last night at
a meeting of the Fifty-second and Market
Streets Business Men's Association, held In
the West Branch Y, M. C. A. The charges
were made by Frank L. Davis. W. H. LoW.
ber, C. A- Wllsey and J. E. Iteed, who de
manded better police protection. A recent
race riot In that section, they said, could not
have occurred If enough policemen had been
on hand to stop It at Its beginning.
Further charges of political protection for
arrested men also were made by Lowber
and Davis. Boughs often were back In the
streets a couple of hours after arrest, they
said.
5000 OUT OF SCHOOLS;
FEAR INFANT MALADY
Compulsory Education Law Will
Be Enforced, Says Doctor
Garber, Superintendent
Between 4000 and E000 children are be
In kept out of the public schools by their
parents because of fear that they will be
exposed to Infantile paralysis.
Thla estimate was made bj- school offi
cials, who aald the compulsory education
law would be enforced.
"If It Is safe for children to go to place,
of amusement It Is safe for them to go to
school, where precaution, are taken." said
Dr. John P. Garber, superintendent of,
schools. "We have no choice other than to
enforce the law"
The fear of parents Is groundless, accord
ing to Dr. A. A Cairns, chief medical In
spector, who asserted that the clanger of
exposing children to the disease had been
reduced to a minimum. Trolley rldlhg, he
aald, Is much more dangerous than school
attendance.
Because It was declared that the service
of Federal Inspectors In New Ybrk, Balti
more and Philadelphia, who hae been
guarding against Infantile paralysis, were
no longer required as a precautionary meas
ure, the Publlo Health Service at Washing
ton last night announced the withdrawal
of Inspectors from these three cities.
The notification system of the service for
the present will be In charge ot three In
spectors In New York and one In this city.
Dr. Samuel Q. Dixon, State Health Com
missioner, when Informed of this decision
last night, said ho did not know anything
about the move.
"So far a. we could learn, these men did
nothing In this city," he said.
Another death from Infantile paralysis
was reported today to the Department of
Helth. The victim was llyman Beubln,
five years old, of &3 Vine street. Ho was
stricken late last evening and succumbed
early today before the arrival of a phy
sician. This brings the list of dead from
infantile paralysis here to SSI, with S79
stricken.
