Francis A. Iiwls, Esq.
My Dear Sir Your communication of
October 29 has been referred to Director
Wilson and In reply I have been In
structed to advise vou that the Inclosed
SO)lce order has been Issued prohibiting
eonnres on the night or election aay.
BONFIRES ON NIOHT OF ELECTION
DAY
First. For many years a general order
has been Issued, prior to each primary
and general election, which. In addition
to other subjects on election day, pro
hibits bonfires on the highways: but a
number of complaints are received on
Very election night of violations of the
order.
Second. As It Is a breach of ordinance:
list In
BANKER SCHIPF WARNS AGAINST
OVERTAXATION AND LESSENED VALUES
to make or ass
on the streets or
making any bonfires
in the untitle parKN,
xcept when necessary In connection with
laying gaa or water pipes, etc., evury
member of this bureau must give atten
tion to the matter, extinguishing any
bonfire he sees and whcreer possible
arresting the offender.
Third. Patrolmen detailed at polling
places on the evening of election day,
awaiting tho count of tho vote, will also
pay Hpeclal attention to this order and
enforce It In tho vicinity of all polling
places.
By order,
JAMES RODINSON,
Superintendent.
Approved, William II. Wilson, Director.
"I think I Bhall also take a tittle auto
mobile rfdo Tuesday night, on my own nc
count, to see that tho order is enforced,"
Chairman Lewis said.
That no immediate adoption of the so
called Storrow plan for unifying coul
charges Is contemplated or hai even been
definitely considered by the local board was
made clear by Mr Louis,
"If Mr. Storrow was In town yesterday.
It was not for the purpose of seeing me. I
knew nothing of his presence hero until
Informed that he had been In conference
with me yesterday by one of the morning
papers,"' Mr. Lewis said this morning.
Tho great and all-pressing coal problem
of the hour Is tho relief of the coal short
age. Even the Important question of price
regulation must come fecond Is the opin
ion of the local committee.
Coal supplies nra reported to bo on
their way to this city and to havo passed
well below Norrlstown, according to II. II
Tyson, chairman of the Montgomery County
Fuel Commission. Although coal has been
freely passing for several days ocr tho
railroad in that vicinity, much of It Is
believed to bo Intended for tho New York
and northern New Jersey markets. Phila
delphia's turn Is said to bo next for relief.
DEUTSCHLAND CARGO

Fire on B. and .0. Pier Destroys
Submarine Equipment Valued
at Several Thousands
BALTIMORE, Nov 2. German sub
marine equipment, said to be actually
worth thousands of dollars, brought to
America by the undersea merchantman, the
Deutschland, forms part of tho loss from
the Baltimore nnd Ohio pier fire at Locust
Point, on Tuesday night, which Is believed
to have been started by derman spies.
The equipment was brought to Baltimore
by the Deutschland to be used In repairing
future merchant suDmarlnes scheduled to
come to this port, but which never arrived.
The Collector of Customs ordered an In
ventory of all Imports on Pier No. 9 made
apd It was then the German property
loss was unearthed.
The appraised value of the property, put
down in the customs records as "equip
ment," was 1716.
CLUB MAY DE WAR HOSPITAL
Curtis Organization Planning to Offer
Property to Government
I The Curtis Country Club at Lawndale
may be offered to the Government as a
hospital base for wounded soldiers and sail
ors of the United States forces. A special
meeting of the executive committee of the
club Is to be called In the near future to
consider the suggestion.
If the club does become a hospital, George
Horace Lorlir.cr. editor of the Saturday
Evening Post, would nlso turn over his
farm at Fox Chase to o used In connec

The club has mora than ISO acres of
ground and ample clubhouse space.

Conllnnrd from Tare One
plnrrd upen revenne. Our preparations
liars been nltlnt.il upon the only '
theory that lli United Slates lias become
a participant In a war of extrnnrdlnary
magnitude that wilt be of unnttinl duration.
Our fUenl policy mint lit that theory,
MANY UNTOUCHED SOURCES
"While resort cannot be had to many
sources of rovenuo for sound economic roa
sons, while some will not bo because of
political expediency, there still remain many
untouched sources and heavier levies can
be made upon present cues without Impos.
Ing burdens that cannot bo justified,
"For Instance many believe that with tho
recent rcyenuo law the limit has been
reached In the Impositions that may be
placed on incomes nna excess profits. I
am not In accord with that opinion. If the
war Is prolonged over many years, as It Is
quite probable, as we. have not nearly ex
hausted our ability to obtain revenue
through taxation. It Is tho part of wisdom
to Increase quickly our revenues. Four
billion dollars annually docs not begin to
measuro tho possible rovenues of tho United
States.
"One fact should be emphasised so forci
bly at this time that the police of the
American people should not he capable of
misunderstanding. It should be proclaimed
broadly that neither the IndlTldual nor nny
group wan entitled to Inordinate profits
from the ncrcioarlei of the Government,
nor would they be permitted.
FUTURE OF NATION AtsTAKE
"I speak pot ns nn enemy of wealth or of
one hostile to successful Industry or to
proper rewards for the cxerclso of that
peculiar genius essential for tho conduct
of exceptional enterprise. The future of our
people, as woll aH tho fate of civiliza
tion nnd tho eantlnunnco of democratic In
stitutions hinges upon tho outcomo of this
wnr. Individual ambitions, or interest, or
prospects munt disappear before the greater
ohjectlve tho welfuro of the nation. No svi
tern of taxitlon can be devised that wilt ap
ply with exact equality to ovtrv lndlvidu.il ;
the necessities of the Government cannot bo
supplied without business disturbances 'hat
will work cruel hnrdshiim In some direc
tions. No ono can predict in what direc
tion ho will be asked to make sacrifice or
assume nn exceptional burden in tho on
ward progres of the nation to Its ultlmato
end. Many will bt called upon for tho Ml
premn hacrlflce of their lives, n'ne will
lin lolerntcd wlione nrlcvnncc. reU n the
contention that hit material proupcrlty lim
been nrrented or affected In the nrcciiry
ninroliallng of the rountr' energies.
"It Is not my purpose to attempt to de
tail tho sources which may still be tupped
for additional revenues. This Is not tho
occasion for me to do so. Tho pressing
need nt this time H to bring homo con
vincingly to the masses tlmt they must be
prepared to enduro much greater burdens
from taxation. The country must bo per
suaded to change Its extravagnnt and
wasteful habits and to cultivate thrift
During such a crisis the people should not
expect to spend as lavishly or to Indulge
luxurious tastes hh freely as in tho days
of peaceful prosperity Tho nation must
be awakened as nover beforo In Its history ;
the people must be taken fully Into the
confidence of the Government; they must
have presented again and again tho real
picture of world conditions, ho that every
Individual shall appreciate and discharge
his obligation in full.
REACH PUBLIC CONSCIENCE
"Even If there were not other hound
and Imperative economic reasons, that ef
fective method of reaching the public con
science would Justify resort to extraordi
nary nuthodH of taxation nt this time. No
system should be tolerate 1 that will para
lyze Industry or breed discontent ; none
should be avoided essential to provide tho
rovenuo Imperatively required nnd that
will distribute the resulting burdens ns
equitably us experience and knowledgo dic
tate." U. S PREPARED FOR FINANCING
Prof. Frank Taussig declared this morn
ing that the United States wis prepared for
war financing, both In ord.nnry financial
machinery and In taxing miichlnery. The
Income tax machinery can be utilized In
collecting other taxes, nnd whilo It H far
from perfect It Is Immensely serviceable. If
wo had to build such machinery now we
would have to wait a year or several years
before we could raise a revenue anything
like the huge one we have now within our
grasp It makes immediately posslblo the
resort to heavy levies.
It can be used not only for levying on
Incomes hut for levyjpg oh excess profits.
The real problem of the war finance, Mr
Taussig said. Is not to learn the total
wealth of the people, but to learn the total
free wealth ; that Is, the total wealth of
the people than can be diverted to Govern
ment use. Wo have floated huge loans
when some thought we could not, and we
will float more, though some may think our
resources almost exhausted.
"Our loans and taxes already Indicate,"
said Mr. Taussig, "that we must begin to
restrict and curtail, must learn to dispense
with luxuries and comforts, perhaps with
some things which we havo regarded as
necessaries. We shall havo to proceed
further In tho same direction. Every com
munity must adjust Its Industries and Its
expenditures to tho needs of a war through
a gradual process. Wo havo entered only
on the first stage.
"Ono last aspect of tho caso I would
bring to jour attention. How far ara there
resources which as yet we have not tapped?
How far are there sparo fractions of In
come not ordinarily reached either by any
process of taxation or by any process of
habitual saving nnd Investment? In this
country we have a great mass of prosperous
workers who ordinarily spend the whole, or
almost the whole, of their Income, and who
yet are In n position both to bear burdens
?' XRtlon and to make some savings from
their Inccme, There are millions of skilled
artisans, salaried mep and women, well-to-do
farmers who go thcr way with ease In
ordinary times, and when the ordlnnry ma
chinery of taxation nnd finance does touch,
It Is not desirable to apply to this laige
stratum of the community nny burdensome
direct taxation of Incomes, True, some di
rect levy on them Is made through the
,p.re"nt remodeling of our Incomo tax, nd
the limit of exemption, formerly $5000 to
ti22 a ynr' ha" now heen "J""1! lo
1 1000 to $2999 Hut the rate of tax upon
the lowctt Incomes now brought within the
i.urviow or tne tax Is rightly left moderate,
and this application of tho Income tnx Is
rather a response to a question of principle
than a probable means of nttnlnlng a sub-
oi.ifiuui inrrease of revenue.
"Consumption taxes, again, In the way of
import duties and excises, doubtless can
bring In something substantial; yet these
also lend to some undesirable consequences,
and there has been n proper hesitation from
resorting to them at very high rates. On
the other hand, the voluntary handing over
of substantial parts of theso incomes to the
Government through the broad distribution
of public loans Is feaslblo upon a much
larger scale than has before been supposed.
It offers In manv respects great advan
tages The smnll bond buyer Is In tho
nggregate nn Important personage. And
when he Is reached by proper machinery
and proper propaganda ho will respond
generously nnd quickly. At the same time
the wide distribution of public loans Is the
most effective antidote to those Undeslrnblo
aspects nf great publlo debts which have
caused them to be most strongly opposed
it menns the permanent maintenance of
taxation for the purpose of meeting Interest
upon the debt, and so tho permanent diver
sion of Income from the great mass of the
taxpayers to the smallor number of holders
of publlo securities If. however, the num
ber of theso holders 1o not small, but In
the aggregate large; If the distribution of
puinic mans he not solclv among the rich
and well-to-do, hut widely dispersed
through every class of tho community
then some of the most undesirable features
of tho resort to loans will be, if not entirely
obviated, much mitigated"
'TEDDY' FIRES CROWD
AT MITCHEL MEETING
Americanism Rampant Heated
Personalities Develop in Gotham
Mayoralty Race
NEW YORK, Nov. 2 Tho Americanism
Issue in New York's ma orally campaign
reached the point of heated personalities
today. It was stirred to th. boiling point
by a typically Roosevcltlnn demonstration
nnd a typically Rooscveltlan speech deliv
ered by the former President t a mc i
meeting In Madison Squnro (Inrden Inst
night. The Colonel Is nupportlng Mltrhel
Roosevelt loosed his verbal thunder at
Morris HUlquit. Socialist aspirant, hh
"pandering to treasonable nnd cowardly
Amerlcnns to the pacifists, the pro-Germans
the man who wishes Undo Sam to
negotiate an Inconclusive peace."
"Yellow calls to yellow." Roosevelt yelled.
"The Hun within Is even worse than the
Hun without, but worst of all Id the man
who cringes hefore the Hun within"
A would-be heckler of the Colonel wns
uproariously shouted down after he had
demnnded to know of Roosevelt why the
former President wasn't In Franco.
"I did my level best." Roosevelt declared,
his teeth snapping emphatically and his
face crimson with suppressed emotion
"You you creature out there I have sent
my four sons, for each of whose lives I
caro n thousand times more than I care
for my own "
Tho crowd went wild nt this point and
turned the whole affair into a tumultuous
demonstration.
Ma or Mltrhel continued his personal on
slaught on John r. Ilylan, Democratic and
Tammany candidate, by producing adver
tisements from a Hearst-owned German
language newspaper lauding Hylan ns
"sympathetically Inclined to all things Ger
man." The advertisement appeared In 1916
"If tho time has come when, to be Mayor
of this city, a man must bow to the agents
of this country's enemies, then It Is time to
haul down the American flag from the city
Hall," Mltchel asserted
Hlllqult's contribution to the general
chorus of heat was not a personal attack,
but an appeal for "speedy, general peace"
made at a meeting under auspices of the
Irish revolutionary leaders here.
Campaign managers for Mltchel and
Hlan sought today to point out that. In
cluded In Hlllqult's audlenco last night,
wero members of several Irish societies
closely connected with German propaganda
and that Hlllqult's Idea of a speedy general
peace fits perfectly In with the present Ger
man Government's plans.

Use Sugar Sparingly-
Not Waste It
Everyone manufacturers and householders
should use sugar sparingly for the present.
The supply is limited and will be until the new crop
of cane can be harvested and shipped from Cuba and
the Tropics. The supply will then be ample.
In the meantime, the people of the New England
and Atlantic-Coast States should use sugar sparingly.
Grocers should, limit their sales to any one family.
No one should hoard or waste sugar. Do not pay an
increased retail price.

First Allotment of the Delicious
TROPIKO GRAPEFRUIT
for Philadelphia on Sale Today
We have obtained for Philadelphia a
consignment of TROPIKO grapefruit,
the choicest selection from Porto Rico's
leading growers, and it is being distrib
uted among the more important grocers
and fruit dealers.
Do you remember the best grapefruit
you ever ate? A fruit that was full of
rich juice, just sweet enough, with
just enough tang to give zest to
your whole meal? That
grapefruit probably was
grown in Porto Rico.
This American island
produces the heaviest,
richest, most luscious
grapefruit in the
world.

Porto Rico Fruit Exchange have adopted
the name TROPIKO to identify their
finest fruit. All TROPIKO fruit is of
unvarying quality inside. There are
slight variations in external appearance
in color and texture of skin. These are
marked by five different colored Rays:
Gold Ray, Blue Ray, Red Ray, Purple
Ray, and Bronze Ray.
There also is the usual variety in sizes.
Every piece of TROPIKO grapefruit
is crammed full of healthful, luscious,
t h i r s t-quenching, appetite-sharpening
juice. A TROPIKO grapefruit or
orange contains the minimum of pulp
which leaves the more room for juice.
The meat is soft and tender. The flavor
is delicate and satisfying. It is the kind
of fruit that the most luxurious hotels
in the country serve to their patrons;
yet it costs you only a little more than
ordinary fruit. You can taste the tropics in
every drop of TROPIKO juice summer
suns and clean, cool ocean breezes have made
it delicious.
You don't have to pick over TROPIKO
fruit. Every piece has been selected for you
by fruit experts. Our contract calls for a
weekly shipment of grapefruit, oranges and
pineapples in season.
Ask your dealer this morninp; for a sample
order of TROPIKO grapefruit. If he has
none ready for you. let us know and we wi)l
tell you where vou ran get it. Why not
t "t up some TROPIKO prapefruit marma.
