Inc., New York Chicago San Francisco I WEDNESDAY EVENING, Snyder, met with the committee by invitation. The meeting devolved into a gen eral discussion of several plans for getting Increased revenue, and the federal government's activities In trespassing upon the State's taxation preserves gave the members much concern. It was the sense of the committee that at least $5,000,000 per year should be added to the State's in come. The suggestions made were for a general increase of one mlil up on all of the present sources of tax ation, but it is thought that would work injustice in many ways, and it is likely that this plan will be modi fled. Suggestions have come fi'°m many sources that a tax of one mill be levied by the State upon all real estate and corporate property In Penn sylvania, but the members of the com mittee as a rule, are opposed to the real estate feature as Pennsylvania has had no direct taxatton upon realty in many years. A one mill lax upon capital stock of manufacturing com panies which now escape taxation was also suggested. This would be a very light tax as compared with that in other States and would yield over $2,000,000 annually. Another proposition was to increase the minimum automobile license fee from $5 to $lO, making no change in the other classes. This plan would yield about $500,000 per annum for State highway maintenance. Sugges tions were made that the bonus on charters taken out in Pennsylvania be increased from one-third of one per cent, to one-half of one per cent, upon the authorized capital stock. This would yield about $300,000 per year and would not be burdensome. Corporate loans and gross receipts are likely to have some additions made to the tax rates. Twenty-two years ago we began to sell Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and during this period of time we have disposed of hundreds of bottles, and judging from the expressions of its users the preparation has a great deal of merit. Several times I have heard customers say that they give Swamp- Root credit for doing what is claimed for it. Very truly yours, CLARENCE W. BRIGGS, Druggist. Oct. 16, 1916. Malone, N. Y. SPECIAL BILLS ARE NOW DEFINED Deputy Attorney General Kun Gives an Important Opinion to Auditor General In an opinion recently given to Au ditor General Powell by Deputy Attor ney General Kun he is advised not to pay an appropriation to refund $291.23 to an executor In an estate which is alleged to have erroneously paid a col lateral Inheritance tax. -The money was appropriated because the claim for payment was not made within the time required by the act of 1901. The opinion, which will govern in a number of similar cases, holds that the act is special legislation. "It was Just this sort of special legislation which the framers of the constitution meant to prohibit by article 111, sec tion 7, of the constitution, providing that the general assembly shall not pass any local or special law "refund ing moneys legally paid into the Treas ury." 'He says that if an application had been made within the limitation of time provided by the act of 1901 it would have been proper to pay, hut such are not the facts in the case de cided.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH STATE COLLEGE ASKS $2,938,000 Bill Presented For Improve ment of the Center County Institution Today The trustees of Pennsylvania Slate College, are about to ask the Legisla ture to appropriate $2,938,000 for the next two fiscal years for the main tenance of the big institution; for new buildings; for additional farm lands and for a new armory. Definite und specific reasons for each of the be quests is contained in the briefs pre pared by Attorney H. AValton Mitchell, ' of Pittsburgh, chairman of the board of trustees, who gives largely of his time to furthering the progress of the institution. The House bill was introduced to day by Representative Harry Scott, of Center county, while the same bill will go into the Senate next Monday night bearing the name of Senator William E. Crow, as sponsor. Both men are ardent supporters of the Center county institution. At the same time that these bills appear there is an agitation heard in Philadelphia, started by State Treas urer Kobert K. Young, against edu cational institutions receiving State aid that are not under the supervi sion of the State. He made an attack on the policy of the State giving of its money to the University of Penn sylvania and the University of Pitts burgh and advocated the gradual withdrawal of State funds from such institutions. Pennsylvania State College is not included in the Young speech before the Philadelphia audience. It is gener ally conceded to be in line for a much larger appropriation this year than in 1915 when it received $900,000. Penn received the same amount and Pitt $600,000. State's request is subdivided in this way: Maintenance and buildings, $2,- 286,000; farm lands, $60,000; exten sion work, $242,000; \ncw armory, $350,000. With regard to the extension item, Mr. Mitchell said that the National government will give State about $242,000 contingent on the Common wealth duplicating the bequest. The National government gives this money to recognized State institutions for the advancement of agriculture and do mestic science. The armory item is one of the most important things in the list of State College's requests this session. When I the present armory was erected there I were 125 students undergoing military instruction at the college and now therp are 2,400 taking military train ing out of a total enrollment of 3,500. But it has been a handicap at State. Under the provisions of the National defense act which became a law June 3, 1916, certain equipment is given by the government to students of State colleges provided they drill three days a week and also provided that the State gives them a building to allow drill through the entire colioge year. The handicap in the Center hills is that the winter weather is so severe that outdoor training is not followed and the two by four armory is not large enough to permit one third of ' the students to maneuver. To take advantage of the government's goner osity and to keep abreast of the de velopment of the institution State needs and wants a real armory. In the domestic science courses State has made great progress. That school has grown in six years from six girls to now when thero are 20 7, and President Sparks is predicting even greater expansion. MARKED GROWTH IN TOY INDUSTRY IN IT. S. Washington, Fob. 21.—The Govern ment's toy census shows some interest ing developments in the amusement of American children. Our grandfathers were brought up on imported toys, for in 1859 there were only twelve toy making establishments in the United States. Now there are 290; with 7,887 wage-earners employed in them, as compared with 176 in the fifties. The capital now invested in the in dustry amounts to $10,484,000, and in 1859 it was only $87,000. Tho wages paid for making toys in this country now amount I to $3,499,000 annually. Fifty odd years ago toy makers here earned in a year only $4 4,688. The value of the output tlcn was $113,365. Now it is $7,978,000. We export annually $2,030,089 worth of toys. Our biggest customers are Great Britain and Can ada. The former buys $762,000 and the latter $594,380. The war has had a disastrous effect on the toy trade, but temporarily It has increased our output and export. Before the war we bought $24,593,730 worth from Germany, that being more than one-third of Germany's product, which is the largest in tho world. SPECIAL LENTEN SERVICES Hummolstown, Pa., Feb. 1.
