Senator, lMIn II. Vare, Mho nlo Introducsd the other two bills, which would- restrict the issuance of mandamuses and bUo State mercantile taxes to counties, cities, boroush and townships. The bills re drafted by William Draper Lewis, for the Charter rtelslon ,. Committee, ond Joseph P. Oaffney, chair- man of Councils' Legislative Committee. The budget bill provides that within the first fifteen das of October of each year the Mayor of Philadelphia shall submit to Councils a budget which shall Include In formation, estimates and recommendations regarding; all finances over which Councils have control. All departments, bureau, commissions, officials and others whose sal aries and expenses aro jiald out of the funds under the control of Councils shall furnish the Major with Information dealred In V making up the budget, The measure further pro Ides that It shall be the duty of Councils to consider tho budget In open public meetings, and that between December 1 and 15 It shall In one ordinance apportton tho approprlttloni among trio department1!, bureaus, etc, for the ensuing calendar year and In the mine ordinance Councils slujU fix a tax rate which will provldo revenue to eqnnl the total esti mated expenses of tho tnsuing ear and the estimated cxce-M, If any, of the expenses of the then curicnt year oer the applicable revenue, of such current jear. Tho bill also proldcs that no money bor rowed by the city shall be applied to any purpose than that tor which It shall hao been borrowed The bill restricting the Issuances of man damuses proIdes thnt no court In the Com monwealth shall hao the poer to Issue u writ of mandamus to the treasurer nf any county, township, city, borough or school district to compel the payment of money (whether In satisfaction of a Judgment or otherwise) for the salary, wages or other compensation of nn officer or emploje: for supplies, for rent for any real estate or lor the purchase of leal estate for any mu nicipality or school district unless the body having Jurisdiction oxer the finances of euch municipality r school district shall have authorized the liability to be Incurred Also, no court shall hac tho power to Issue a writ of mandamus' to compel bodies having Jurisdiction oer finances to maUe an appropriation for any of tho purposes aboc specified unless the Legislature shall have so fixed. Senator Vare nlso Introduced a bill pro viding that all mercantile taxes (.hall be retained by the counties nnd after the de duction of fees nnd other expenses of col lection they shall be dl fried among all cities, borough3 and tounshlps within the counties Part of the tax now goes to the State. Tho bill embraces mercantile taxes col lected under the act of May 2. 189U: bil liard, pool and shooting gallery taxes col lected under the act of Ma 25 1007, brokers Ilcenso tnxe3 collected under tho act of May 7, 1907 This bill affects the entire State and has tho Indoisement of the Philadelphia Councllmanlc Legislate c Com mittee. Sprouli Probe Put Up to Governor Continued from rare One 1780.000 In the next two sears, possibly more. He said the low cat license feo now ts 16. He would not change tho license fees of larger cars, but merely establish the (12 minimum. The one per cent tnx on real estate Is being considered b hnator T l.arr) Kjre, of Chester County, but tho sentiment in the Legislature Is haid to be strongly against any further burdening of real es tate so long as it is possible more to equally d.stributo the charges. Longing eyes nre liWng cast once tnoro on the personal prop erty tax which was taken entirely out of the hands of tho State by tho Legislature In 1913 when cic of tno all-Philadelphia bills was passed dUertlng tho entire amount td counties so that tho borrowing capacity In Philadelphia might bo Increased to per mit the financing of tho high-speed transit lines Definite checks, which hae been mado by the State government on the personal property collections by tho counties since that time, hae shown a cry decided fall ing oft In reenue. Before the act was passed the State collected the money nnd returned three-fourths to tho counties. Now the counties, It Is said, realize n sum less than the three-quarters, which they formerly receded from the State, though they get all that Is collected. Personal property Is realized as one of tho most fer tile fields for taxation, though It Is the hardest to get at at the present time. The proposition that farmers' ehlcles be taxed just aa automoblleH are taxed to maintain the roads originates In the Idea that the farmers have been more or less 'Eocred cows." so for as taxation Is con cerned, on dthat they benefit Just aB much from good reads In hauling produce to market with horses as do the automoblllsts. The biggest possibility of all la coal and one of the most difficult for thi 1911 coal tax was declared unconstitutional and the 1913 coal tax fell In the same manner. If gome method could be found of legally es tablishing this tax against all questions of constitutionality the amount realized would ery nearly settle ail the State's financial difficulties, since the return. It Is said, would be n excess of $3,000,000. Fish forestry and game regulations are coming In for careful scrutiny with tho Idea thht ultimately tho three commissions can be combined with ft gicat saving In oer bead expense hTo 1 fish fax would be a source of rcen-ue even greater than the hunting tax, which has become so great that the Came Commission has J32,00J on band.
