SIMPLICITY REPORTS
AS long as Pennsylvania clings
to its present system of collect
ing its millions and millions of
State taxes it ought at least to
facilitate the procedure for the 24,000
corporations which furnish it the bulk
of its revenue. Some one has said
that the Auditor General's Depart
ment was like a certain famous char
acter in a noted novel, it jes' grew. It
has been going along administering
law, deciding law and occasionally ini
tiating law. Once in a while the courts
have to be invoked to stop it or to find
out how far it can go. It is a branch
Df the government that audits all ac
counts and pays all bills and collects
tremendous amounts of money with
no one to review its own transactions
except upon appeal to the courts, which
Is expensive and involved.
For some years gone by there have
been efforts toward making the Audi
tor General a purely disbursing officer
and to place his tax collecting duties
tn the hands of a State tax board.
Nothing lias come of it and all the
while the corporations have been filing
(heir millions under a system of re
porting that belongs to the middle
Bges. Corporations now have to file
reports for taxation on the value of
their capital stock fbr a year ending
the first Monday of November. Prac
tically all corporations run business on
the calendar year basis and a bill Is In
the House to make the capita! stock
tax report year the same as the ordi
nary year. It would do away with ne
cessity for a special report for a period
that moves around according to the
first Monday of the eleventh month.
And why the bill should not pass no
one can say.
NEW SCHOOL NEEDED
THE Harrisburg school district
has been extremely unfortunate
in recent years with some of its
new building contracts. In its
very laudible effort to save money for
the tax payers it has on several occa
sions let contracts to men financially
unable to complete the work.
This has occurred at the new Shim
niel building on Allison Hill, where the
builder has turned over his business
to a bondsman who will be required to
complete the work. This school house
Is badly needed and It Is to be regret
ted that there will be delay in finishing
it. The board will, therefore, be fully
justified in taking whatever steps
necessary to hasten the work.
If possible, it ought to be opened
and ready for use so that when the
time comes for the annual transfer of
pupils it can be put into service with
out the delay and subsequent confusion
of retransfers.
A TRADE OPPORTUNITY
EE. PRATT, chief of the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Com
a merce, in a report just sub
mitted by Commission Agent
J. A. Schriver on the canned goods
trade of the Far East, expresses the
belief that one of the principle indus
tries of the United States in the future
will be the sale of canned food pro
ducts to China, Japan, Korea and other
eastern countries.
His conclusions are doubtless found
ed on facts but before our canners
reach too far into the foreign field it
might be well for them to give some
further consideration to that at home.
Canning has been reduced to an exact
science. We no longer have a haunt
ing fear of potmaine when we eat
canned goods. In many cases the pro
ducts so preserved are actually super
ior to those which we buy fresh on the
market, for the reason that they are
prepared in factories adjacent to the
very fields where they are grown, are
harvested in their prime and are often
of a better quality than those offered
for sale by local growers.
There Is a great and uncultivated
field in the United States for the use
of canned products of all kinds.
Many of our fruit and vegetable
growing districts are located so
disadvantageously from a transpor
tation standpoint that it is impossible
to get their products promptly to the
cities where they are needed. Thou
sands of bushels of apples and great
quantities of other fruits and vege
tables go to waste annually in the
fields because there is no demand for
them at home and no opportunity to
sell them abroad. «
Here Is where the canner steps In.
He takes the product when It may be
had in great quantities and preserves
it for >ale during winter months when
WEtfITESPXT'EV mtwn,
fruit and vegetables are scarce and
high in price.
It is all a matter of education. Let
the people once understand that they
are helping to keep down the high cost
of living by using freely of canned
products and let the canner impress
sufficiently upon the public mind that
his wares are entirely above suspi
cion, and the canned goods trade at
home will go forwand by such leaps
and bounds that we sVall not be com
pelled to think seriously about the dis
position of our surplus products
abroad.
THE ISLAND COAIi WHARF
THE passage by city council yes
terday afternoon of the ordi
nance providing for the estab
lishment on the island near the
filter plant of a coal wharf for the j
Harrisburg Light and Power Company
can be regarded in no other way than
as a step for the ultimate abolition
of the coal wharf along Front street
between Walnut and Market streets.
Aside from the item of rental that
will accrue to the city as a result of
this change the only point of advan
tage from a municipal standpoint to
result from the removal of the light
company's wharf to the new location Is
that it will free a section of the city's
most used park system from the litter,
noise and confusion of a constant
and growing coal traffic. If the pres
ent wharves are allowed to remain for
the use of excavators other than the
light company the nuisance at that
point will have been only in part
abated. Therefore, it becomes the
duty of council to take up immediately
the matter of concentrating all of the
remaining traffic at Paxton street, and
this promises not to be very difficult,
for the reason that the light company
is the largest river coal operator using
the Market street landing place.
Warren 11. Manning, the city park
architect, has promised that the pro
posed wharf on the.island shall be con
structed in such a manner as not to
mar the beauty of the river view from
the Front street shore. Mr. Manning
appreciates as much as anybody and
more than most of us the value of our
beautiful river scenery and he may be
relied upon to work out an effect on
the island that will be in perfect har
mony with the landscape at that point
and which will be an ornament rather
than an evesore.
Doubtless when the whole improve
ment is completed and the nuisance at
Walnut street has been abated even
those who have conscientiously op
posed the Island wharf will see the er
ror of their position.
PENNSYLVANIA FRUIT
EV'EX those conversant with the
growth of the fruit growing in
dustry of the Adams county
belt must hate been amazed by
the report of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad company freight
department, made public yesterday,
showing that a total of more than
26,000,000 pounds of apples, pears,
peaches and preserved products were
shipped from that territory or in
storage there during the year 1914.
The best part of this report Is that
officials who have been over the dis
trict express the belief that the fruit
growing industry is only in its In
fancy, notwithstanding that in the
past ten years it has increased more
than fivefold.
There has been some talk recently
among people who should know bet
ter of an overproduction of apples in
the Pennsylvania district. It is true
that more apples are being grown
now than ever before, but for all that
prices arc higher now per barrel than
they were ten years ago and the popu
larity of the apple as an article of
w inter diet is unquestionably growing.
Just why anybody should fear a glut
of' the Pennsylvania apple market
when Adams county growers have
been able to invade such noted apple
States as New York and Ohio with
carload shipments and have been able
to sell successfully even as far west
as California, is difficult to understand.
The field for the sale of Pennsylva
nia apples in times of peace is almost
as wide as the world itself, fruit from
Adams county having been sold in
box lots in England, Scotland, Argen
tine Republic, France, Germany, Den
mark and Russia. Another big oppor
tunity that the Adams county growern
have faeen not slow to grasp is the
demand for dried, evaporated and can
ner apples. A vast quantity of fruit
that could not be sold otherwise is
thus turned into valuable food prod
ucts for use during the season when
fresh apples cannot be had. Apples
so prepared are both nutritious and
delicious and are sold with almost as
much profit to the producer as are the
fresh apples themselves. With these
prospects in view the Adams county
growers are no doubt wise in their
decision to go on developing orchards
like those that already have made
large fortunes for their owners.
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT NEWS
THE third issue of the Pennsyl
vania Highway News, the official
bulletin of the State Highway
Department, indicates more than
ever the wisdom of such a publication.
Many of the criticisms that have been
directed at the Highway Department
have been due to an ignorance on the
part of the public as to conditions and
the difficulties the department has en
countered in the tremendous task set
for it by legislators who understood
better what they wanted to do than
how it should be done.
The Highway News sets forth in an
attractive manner the activities, the
plans and the problems of the High
way Department. It brings the pub
lic into intimate relation with.this im
portant part of the State government
and will give the general reader a bet
ter understanding of what has been
done, is being done and is in prospect.
One of its most valuable features is
that It is rapidly welding the vast but
widely separated forces of the depart
•ment into a harmonious whole. An
instance ,of this is the rapidity with
which the supervisors of the State are
being organized into a highly efficient
force supplementary to the department
proper. Instead of being a fifth wheel
to the highway wagon the supervisors
are fast becoming one of the most
important branches of the road service.
I EVENING CHAT I
Mepibers of the Legislature and
many llarrisbtirg business inen will
be much Interested in the meeting to
be held here the latter part of next
week by the Commercial Secretaries
of Pennsylvania. This will bring the
active spirits in the business of prac
tically every city in the State into
touch with the State capital during
the legislative session and the in
fluence of the business men on pend
ing bills will be strong. As a matter
of fact there are many bills in the
■ Cieneral Assembly that interest busi
ness men nnd the representatives of
the score or more of organizations can
give the lawmakers considerable in
formation on how people feel. This
organization was formed here severnl
years ago and its meetings are gen
erally attended by prominent business
men who take the opportunity of talk
ing over things pertaining to com
mercial organizations.
Speaking of the proposed meeting, it
is of interest to know that two of the
men active in the Lancaster Chamber
of Commerce have been identified with
Harrisburg business and may be here.
H. S. Williamson, the president, was
head of Williamson & Foster, who
had a store in Market street ten or
twelve years ago, and John J. Bair,
the vice-president, is a member of the
firm of Witmer. Bair & Witmer, of
this city. Charles Newbold, the sec
retary of the Lancaster chamber, is a
brother of Willis Geist Newbold. a
well-known newspaperman of this
city.
The intercity business being done by
the large motor trucks that have be
come so common is well illustrated by
the observer of street traffic. Yester
day three trucks that had come from
other cities were seen here, one from
Philadelphia, one from Baltimore and
one from Allentown. They came here
with cargoes and it shows the way the
truck is being used to avoid the re
handling necessitated by the railroads.
Incidentally, cross-country trips with a
motor truck at this season show that
some of the roads must be in good
shape.
A good many Harrisburgers are
asking about the derivation of the
word "jitney," which figures in the
proposed lines of auto buses which are
coming Into use about the country,
largely because of the arbitrary man
ner in which street car companies are
operated. The word comes from the
far southwest. It is a combination of
Mexican and Indian and is the name
commonly given to the least respect
able coin, the nickel, in the southern
states.* Originally the term was used
for years in Texas and New Mexico
without any one transplanting it, but.
then it spread to the south nnd has
been working north. Sometimes it is
shortened to "jit."
The city of Harrisburg will keep out
of some annoying tangles if an ordi
nance presented by Commissioner
Lynch is enacted. It will require that
all contractors give corporate security
for contracts, certified checks being
accepted with bids. This is the plan
adopted on all state contracts and for
all state deposits. Experience has
shown that settlements are far easier
with corporate security than with in
dividuals and personal bonds are be
coming rare. After this ordinance
passes they will be unknown in mu
nicipal contract affairs.
Ihe State Beekeepers' Association,
which is holding its annual convention
here to-day. is eleven years old and
when it was started the wits of the
press had all kinds of fun over it, but
it soon turned out that it was not a
joke but an organization of very seri
ous men. and In due time it was rec
ognized by the Legislature to the ex
tent of allowing it representation on
the State Board of Agriculture. When
it is considered that the production of
honey in this state is worth over a
million dollars a year and that it is
largely profit, the Importance of the
buzzing bee cp.n be understood.
The number of trolley cars sent
through Market Square an hour Is
something that impresses a good many
of the traveling men coming to this
city and they declare that they get a
line on a town through Its cars.
"WBen I first struck Harrisburg it was
snowing like the dickens and I pa
raded up Market street until I got to
the Square. I saw the cars going in
and out and I went over to the place
where the people were standing and
watched* and counted. I saw the cars
piling from all over the neighborhood
and a lot of local cars .too. Then I
knew I was in a live town." said one
veteran in the sales business.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
BEN DAVIS WILL BE
NINTH'S COLLECTOR
Lancaster County Reorganizer Will
Be Selected as a Compromise
Candidate
—According; to word received here
to-day from Washington, Ben Davis,
of Lancaster, is slated to become the
collector of internal revenue, with
headquarters at Lancaster. Davis is a
noisy Democratic leader who has been
lined up with, the reorganization fac
tion ever since it started to reach for
control of the machine. Ho was one
of tho guillotine committee and also
chairman of his county committee.
—The belief was general that the
collectorship would go to Warren Van
Dyke, secretary ol the machine State
committer, or to George Harris, the
Fulton banker, but the efforts of T. K.
VanDyke, of this city, and other
prominent Democrats to get tho plum
caused a snarl which the leaders have
tried to settled by picking Davis, who
has been very willing. The district
will be as it was live years ago. Fred
C. Klrkendall, tho former collector,
is now boss of the old Twelfth district,
with headquarters at Scranton.
—John B. Evans, of Pottstown, is
said to be sure of the place of sub
treasurer at Philadelphia. This is the
place which Congressman Robert E.
Lee had picked out and which anti-
Palmer men wanted him to get.
—These selections will only serve to
intensify the dissatisfaction of the
Democrats with the Paltner-McCor
mick control of the party.
—The Dauphin, county Democrats
who have celebrated Jackson and Jef
ferson days with national headllners
appears to be doing nothing this year.
Few people can understand why the
Central club is so tame. For the last
four years it has been in the front
rank as a celebrator.
—Five congressmen and about 150
other Democrats attended the Jeft'er-
dinner given at York last
night by the Young Men's Democratic
Society of York. The congressmen
were C. O. Lobeck, Nebraska; William
Collier, Mississippi; Daniel E. Garnett,
Texas; J. Washington Logue and A. K.
Brodbeck, Pennsylvania. In addition
there was Benjamin F. Davis, Lan
caster, who is spoken of as the next
internal revenue collector for this dis
trict. A number of prominent Demo
crats failed to attend, presumably on
account of factional differences.
—Declaring that he had committed
himself to a campaign of reformation,
District Attorney David R. Huss, of
Greene county, tiled with the county
auditors a petition for an investi
gation of alleged extravagance and mis
use of fumis by the county commis
sioners and their employes. In his
petition he makes astonishing and sen
sational charges of "grafting," or a
course of procedure that at least
shows gross negligence and misman
agement. He specifically states that
two county employes who resigned
their offices in 1913 drew salaries all
last year, that exorbitant and exces
sive salaries are paid incompetent
clerks and other employes, and that
in spite of protests by grand jury
which charged irregularity certain
contracts were let without proper legal
procedure.
—Ex-Judge. Horace Heydt, of Car
bon county, is being boomed for suc
cessor to Judge Rice, of Wilkes-Barre,
Superior Court judge, who has an
nounced his retirement with the com
pletion of his present term. Mr. Heydt
served twelve years on the Carbon
bench ana met with few reverses from
the higher courts.
—The Philadelphia Record says:
"in local Democratic circles the re
port has been revived that National
Committeeman A. Mitchell Palmer
may open law offices in this city upon
his retirement from Congress next
week. Mr. Palmer is stated by re
organization leaders to be considering
this move, but to have reached no con
clusion as yet. It is understood that.
In any event, he will continue also
his present offices and voting residence
in Stroudsburg."
—Upon learning that it has been
the practice in Luzerne county for the
last twenty years to convert barrooms
into polling places on election days.
President Judge H. A. Fuller directed
that the practice must stop and de
clares that it was not only a violation
of the law but against common de
cency.
Judge Fuller's attention was called
to the practice during a session of
liquor license court and the other
members of the bench expressed sur
prise when he announced that he knew
nothing of the practice.
—A Washington dispatch says: "A
strong protest against the obolishing
of the bonus wage system at the
Frankford arsenal, in Philadelphia,
was made on the floor of the Senate by
Senator George T. Oliver, of Pennsyl
vania. Mr. Oliver earnestly urged the
Senate to retain the present system of
paying workers at Frankford, pointing
out that the bonus system has enabled
many diligent men and women of
Frankford to pay for their homes.
The House bill prohibited the giving of
bonuses and the Senate committee
eliminated the prohibition. As a re
sult of the fight made on the floor of
the Senate in favor of the bonus sys
tem the bill as finally passed last night
was free from the prohibition. The
bonus system at Frankford arsenal,
therefore, is restored."
—Governor Brumbaugh. It was re
ported yesterday in Philadelphia, has
decided that all of his appointments
to carry out the provisions of the pro
posed new workmen's compensation
act will be made upon a strictly non
political basis. The Governor will
name men on the basis of ability and
cut out political considerations en
tirely. As at present planned by the
Governor, there will be three commis
sioners to administer the act, the
chairman of the board to receive
$7,500 and the other two niepibers
$7,000 each. There are also to be ten
adjusters at $2,500 each, while there
will likewise be an office staff of clerks
rind stenographers.
HAVE YOU HAD the GRIP?
The debility and depression follow
ing an attack of the grip Is not a fan
cied disorder. "Post-grippal neuras
thenia" is the medical name for this
condition and its seriousness is recog
nized by all medical writers.
One authority says: "Broadly
speaking, every victim of the grip will
suffer from post-grippal neurasthenia
also, lowering of nervous tone, with
increased irritability is the most
striking effect of the disease, with lan
guor of mind, and body, disturbed
sleep and vague pains in the head and
elsewhere."
Every sufferer will recognize *he
symptoms. What is the remedy?
After the fever has passed and the
influenza has subsided the diet should
lie more liberal but be limited to ar
ticles easily digested; rest and suffi
cient sleep are essential and Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills are the only medicine
required in most cases. This treat
ment should be continued until ihe
patient is completely restored to nor
mal health and spirits. Jt is a spe
cific treatment and rarely if ever fails.
