BOLARD'S BILL
: TO BEREVISED
j Predictions That it Will Be
Passed By the Legis
lature
Predictions are being made about
the Capitol that the House of Rep
resentatives will on Monday night
reconsider its defeat of the Bolard
bill providing that legal advertise
ments shall be printed only in
newspapers printed in Bnglish. This
measure is the consolidation of a
series of bills presented by Repre
sentative J. P. Bolkrd; bf 'Crawfbrd
county, who sponsered the bill and
has been most active in arousing
interest in the proposition to recon
sider.
The Bolard hill failed by just
four votes and it is understood that
enough assurances have been given
to the energetic Crawford countian
to reconsider and pass the bill. In
timations that high State officials
have been showing an interest in
the passage of the bill have -been
given and that some of the forty
wen who were absent when the
•"vote was taken will be on hand to
'vote for the bill.
Mr. Bolard's bill was opposed by
men from Philadelphia who eon
'tended that an effort to shut out
Nierman newspapers should not op
crate against Jewish and Italian,
'(while it is understood that mem
bers from the coal regions where
there are newspapers printed in
N'arious eastern European languages
•were importuned by their people to
vote against the measure. Mr.
Bolard's answer is that English is
the language of American jurispru
dence and that the bill relates to
legal advertisements. He also re
ferred in the course of remarks for
the.bill that English is the language
*>f the schools, of the government
sind of the army and the navy and
of business and the majority of the
homes.

SNYDER URGES
CLERKS'BILL
Savs State Is Responsible
and Should Have the
Men
' "The auditor general's depart
ment is responsible for collection of
the inheritance taxes and responsi
bility where there is no participation
is an absurd arrangement," said
Auditor General Charles A. Snyder
to-day in regard' to the bill to give
the auditor general authority to
name clerks in the offices of registers
of wills to attend to collection of di
rect and collateral taxes arising from
estates of decedents. This bill went
down to defeat in the House by a
small margin. Efforts to have it
put back on the calendar have been
under way.
The auditor general's office has
been evolving a system for collec
tion of direct inheritance taxes
which it producing more revenue
every year and the aggregate of the
income for the Commonwealth from
direct and collateral taxes is now
over $5,000,000. As the State gets
it all, Mr. Snyder's contention is that
it should not be made purely a local
matter, but that the State should
be represented directly.
While the list of counties shows
that Sullivan is the only one which
produced no revenue arising from
estates because no one whose es
tate was liable to tax seems to have
died in that county in 191S, there are
others where the income is big, so
great in fact that a bill to reduce
the fees of registers of wills for col
lections is going through the Legis
lature with administration backing.
It would not affect present registers,
but their successors would be under
it. In the two big counties the reg
isters could not receive over $lO,-
000. They have been getting con
siderably more, notably in Philadel
phia. The necessity of investigating
every death means constant work
by some one from the register's of
flee, while appraisements and ex
emptions are big factors. Just what
this means can be gained from the
fact that in fifteen months ending j
this month there were 176,513
deaths reported to the auditor gen- .
eral's office through the State De- |
partment of Health and thus far re- i
ports have been had on 102,955 and ;
the auditor general is checking up
on many of the rest. The auditor
general said in regard to the clerks:
"There is no element of cost In
volved. The State has to pay the
clerks no matter who names them.
The auditor generals office is re
sponsible for the collection. '

London, March 2 2.—The situation

| General Allenby, the commander in

PRODUCTION OF AUTO
TRUCKS ON INCREASE

and factories engaged indirectly in
war work.
Buck to Peace Basis
This situation is reflected in the
instant expansion of plans for pro
duction when the restrictions of the
.War Industries Board were removed
about December Ist. Schedules for
1919 contemplate an aggregate out
put substantially in excess of last
j year. Contributing to this great in
; crease are facilities for production
| of at least 75,000 a year which
i have been or soon will be released
| from military truck work.
Several months will be required
! for the industry to get into full pro
! duction on the new schedule, al
though it is In better position to
resume peace-time work than the
| passenger -ear industry, because
j truck manufacturers generally did
i not take on war contracts for work
! that was distinctly foreign to their
regular operations. Their contracts
j were for trucks, and, in many cases,
j for their regular models. The time
j that will be occupied in getting into
I full production will give the busi
i ness world opportunity to readjust
I itself to the altered conditions, and
I to also get into full activity, creat
| ing an increased market to absorb
j the larger output of trucks.
Good Business Ahead
I Passage by Congress of a bill pro-
I viding for the prompt adjustment
: and payment of informal war eon
j tracts will put large volumes of
I money into active circulation, and
! the decision of the War Depart
| ment not to throw on the market
j the military trucks bought in this
country will convince prospective
purchasers that any hope of securing
bargains by waiting to pick up such
trucks in vain. Commodity prices
' and wages should also become sta
! bilized and put an end to any un
' certainty regarding tendency of
j truck prices.
Leading business men of America
are unanimous in predicting a long
period of industrial and commercial
activity and prosperity, with tre
mertdous foreign trade expansion.
; They point to the depletion of stocks
i of raw materials and manufactured
| goods throughout the world that
i must be made good, the necessity
for resuming building operations
j that were suspended during the war,
' the reconstruction necessary in Eu
| rope, the need for continued agri-
I cultural production on an extended
I scale, the plans for a large Ameri
can mercantile marine and navy, the
importance of the rehabilitation of
the railroads, and so forth,
i All- such activities call for more
and better transportation facilities,
which means more highway im
provement aqd greater use of mo
tor trucks. As a result of the war,
the country has learned many les
sons in efficiency and economy and
appreciates better the capabilities
and dependability of the motor
truck.
The country is undergoing an im
portant evolution in the matter of
transportation, it is coming to real
ize that the highways are as essen
tial to national development and
prosperity as the railroads, that are
I interdependent systems, and that
I the national bill for haulage over
the highways, under present con-
I ditions, is much larger than the
i country's freight bill. Rural, motor
| epress lines are already bringing
! about changes in the farmer's life
and methods of marketing his crops,
and the post Office Department is
bringing the producer and consumer
into close touch through the agency
of motorized rural parcel post serv-
I ice. Great extension of these routes
| is planned the Department having
| requisitioned 15,170 army trucks
I from the War Department for the
t purpose.

feeling, howfever. that more motor deal
ers should get into the truck game. As
one critic put it: "The car volume is
being sacrificed because of new interests
and because of the dealer's methods and
because he has added new lines. A
distributor or factory is entitled to ex
pect a certain business in a certain
area, so what the dealer must do is
departmentize. He must establish a
car department and a truck department.
He must see that he has men to concen
trate on the activities of these depart
ments separately. If this is done each
will maintain its proper volume and the
total volume and total net profit will be
greater. The distributor should realize
that trucks and tractors are going to
be a btg source of profit for dealers
in the future and he should train his
dealers to hande all lines, including cars,
to the maximum, thereby making his
dealers the most successful in the whole
territory."
