A DIRECT TAX J
IMPOSSIBLE
To Get Money to Build Neces
sary Roads in Pennsylvania
MAY REPEAL SPROUL LAW
If Bond Are Not Voted the Townships
May Again Be Compelled to Main
tain Roads, Or a Direct Tax
Will Be Necessary.
If the State is not authorized by
the citizens at the coming election to
Incur the proposed debt of $50,000,000
to Improve the main highways of the
Commonwealth It la very possible
tliat the next Legislature will repeal
the Sproul bill and throw back on the
townships the 9,000 miles of road
embraced In the present system. The
Sproul law places on the Highway
Commissioner all of the duties and
responsibilities so far as State High
ways are concerned as existing laws
placed on township supervisors. Un
der this section of the act the High
way Commissioner has been indicted
in two counties owing to the danger
ous condition ot the State roads,
which he Is powerless to remedy, not
having the necessary funds. If the
people vote down the loan amendment
the repeal is more than likely, as the
State cannot and should not suffer its
officials to be Indicted in the local
courts for failure to perform a duty
when such failure is caused solely by
a deficiency in funds necessary to
perform that duty.
If the Sproul law Is repealed Its
repeal will throw on the towi.shlps
the maintenance of more than 9,000
miles of the main roads the roads
which are the most costly to main
tain by reason of their carrying 85
per cent of the traffic of the State.
The design of the Sproul law which
places the responsibility for the re
construction and maintenance of these
9,000 miles of main highways on the
State was to secure to every Bectlon
of the Commonwealth easy access to
its markets, and as President Wilson
said, "to bind communities together
and to facilitate Intercourse so that
it will flow with absolute freedom and
fucllity." The President also said,
"The development of a great system
of roads is a task of statesmanship,"
and Pennsylvania's great statesman,
Senator W. C. Sproul of Delaware
county, has been foremost in meeting
that great need. This law has reliev
ed the townships of the State of the
care of more than 9,000 miles ot high
ways. When It Is considered that on
these roads over eighty per cent of
traffic Is of non-residents of the town
ships, who have heretofore paid no
share of the cost of construction or
maintenance to the township which
has been responsible for the upkeep
of the road, It is apparent that under
the old plan an unfair burden was
placed on the taxpayers of all such
townships. By means of the loan the
State can reconstruct these roads
without a burden being placed on any
one. The motor vehicle fee will meet
the entire bill and our people will be
tetter off financially, morally and
mentally.
tenure, the rate of interest and otner
terms ot bonds, as well as providing
for their sale, from time to time, In
amounts limited to the necessities of
the Department as work progresses."
As the people next year must elect
all the Assemblymen and one-halt the
Senators who will sit In 1915 and will
at the same time elect the Governor
who, in turn, must appoint the High
way Commissioner the argument of
those persons who are opposing the
loan because they are opposed to the
present administration is without
weight and not worthy of considera
tion. The road loan is not a question
of men, but of principle. Pennsylva
nia had a State Treasurer at one time
who was accused of dishonesty, but
we did not shut up the treasury and
put the State out of business on that
account Railroads have had incom
petent and dishonest officials in the
past, but that did not deter the
stockholders of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company from voting for a loan
of $150,000,000 (three times the
amount sought for road purposes) to
enable that corporation to carry its
lines Into New York city besides the
many hundreds of millions previously
voted for extensions and betterments.
PRESENT ADMINISTRATION WILL
NOT HAVE THE SPENDING OF
ONE DOLLAR OF ROAD LOAN
In his address at the Good Roads
Convention in Harrrlsburg, Governor
Tener said: "Should the amendment
pass it will be Incumbent upon the
Legislature of 1915 to consider an
enabling act making provision for the
The argument that there is no
necessity for issuing bonds for Road
Building and saddling on the State
the payment of interest when the
Legislature can each two years ap
propriate the necessary money out of
current revenues, Is a good one in
theory only, for no Legislature has
as yet appropriated sufficient fund
for this purpose.
The income of our State is now
greater than ever before but the 1913
appropriation bill set aside only
$1,000,000.00 for reconstruction and
$1,400,000.00 for the maintenance for
wo years ot our 9,000 miles of State
liphways.
What progress can be expected
ler such conditions?
WHY THE PLANETS COLLIDE
Gravity and Other Agencies Are at
Work In Bringing Stare
Together.
There Is good reason to believe that
the bodies in space both luminous
and dead occasionally fall together,
and his conception ot such an event
was given by Prof. A. W. Bickerton
in a .V.e Royal Institution lecture.
The collisions do not come at ran
dom. Gravity and other agencies are
at wori, and before two suns collide
they come Into each other's Influence
for hundreds of years, being drawn
towards each other with constantly in
creasing speed. As the velocity would
be proportionate to size, the collision
would take place in the same time
about three-fourths of an hour for all
bodies. With the collision the two
stars become a new one, the tremen
dous speed is suddenly converted into
heat, and the explosive force expands
the new star at the rate of millions of
miles an hour. This, Professor Bick
erton believes, explains the origin of
Nova Persel, which suddenly flashed
out in 1901 with 10,000 times the bril
liancy of our sun. This star became
the brightest in the heavens except
Sirius, and was the most brilliant new
star that has appeared In 300 years.
