8 STRICT RETURN ON PERSONALTY Income Tax Methods May Be Applied to Reports From Residents Effect upon the counties of Penn sylvania of the Dawson bill to re quire one-half of the personal prop erty tax to be paid to the Com monwealth for general purposes will he seriously considered by Gover nor William C. Sproul and Attorney •General William I. Schaflfer as a result of urgent representations made to him yesterday by a com mittee- of officials of Ave counties that if the bill became a law it would not only reduce their reven ues, but also might interfere with bond issues for road improvements and other public works.

The committee presented the standpoint of the counties, especial ly the possible effect of Improve ments. which the Governor admit ted afterwards, "came close to me" because of the plans of various counties to issue bonds for road construction. The Governor invited the men present to draft a bill which would enable closer collec tions of the personal property tax to be made. The idea of the Dawson bill is to have the State and counties share alike in the income raised and the Governor is not inclined toward the present system which makes it a county proposition solely. He re ferred to the efforts being made by the State to get a fa*r return of personal property when the law was changed and intimated that if any thing is done steps must be taken to insure equitable and complete re turns on which to base the collec tion. This he said would enable the counties to obtain more and the State likewise. County Commissioner A. C. Gum bert. of Allegheny, represented that Allegheny county, along with others would have its borrowing capacity impaired and that it would fall heavily because the county plans to issue bonds for road construction and to raise bridges at the mandate of the Secretary of War. Philadel phia, was also brought out, would be affected materially in its borrow ing capacity. The delegation In cluded besides Mr. Gumbert, County Commissioner I). F. Magee, Lan caster; R. A. Mercur, solicitor for Bradford county: County Commis sioner D. F. Beatty, Mercer; goMci tor Charles 11. Stone, Beaver county; Richard W. Martin, county solicitor; John S. Weller, county controller's attorney, and George W. Miller, in charge of personal prop erty assessments, of Allegheny. Mr. Martin will draft the bill the Gov ernor asked to have prepared for his study. After the county officials left the Governor they discussed a bill that would apply income tax report meth ods to the returns of personl prop erty as a means of getting for coun ties what they would lose through all of the personal property tax going to the State. They argued that if Uncle Sam can make every person render an exact account of income the same can be done by the Commonwealth and that if the federal government can force a man or woman to make a return of Liberty bonds owned and the issues and years set forth there is nothing to prevent the State from doing the same thing with its fesidents in regard to all the bonds and stocks and mortgages and other items of personalty that they possess. It is said that this feature will be em bodied in a bill and by stipulation of stiff penalties get a report from every person that would insure far greater personal property taxes be ing paid than many county officials ever dreamed of. At the same time, they contended it would increase resources for es timating borrowing capacity because the Act of 1913 placed realty and personalty on the same plane in calculating resources upon which to base limits of authority to issue bonds. DRUGGISTS MUST LEAVE TOWN Chlllocothe, Mo., March 27. An indignant crowd of representative citizens marched to two of the drug stores of this city this morning and served notice upon the proprietors.

EDUCATION TO GO FORWARD Governor Sproul Says Teach ers Will Get Increase—• / New Methods Needed ■> "The State of Pennsylvania is not going to take any backward step of education, you can rest assured of that. I can not say now what can be voted for increase of the teach ers salaries because I have not yet received the estimates from the fiscal officers" said Governor Wil liam C. Sproul last evening to call- I ers. The Governor said in reply in- j quiries. that lie did not' think the ' State could afford voting an increase j| of $7,000,000 and was not sure about , $4,000,000. "This can not be stated ; now because we do not have ligures, | but I am in favor of voting the j money for the advance in teachers' i pay in the increased school appro- | priation and having it ear-marked j for that purpose," said he. The Governor said when asked if | there was any disposition to cut down on vocational education allow ances to meet other demands that there was emphatically no thought like that in his mind. While it may i be necessary to make sortie arrange- j ments for economy in administra tion there would be no retrograde movements is education. He is turning over in his mind the qualifl qatidns of a number of men men tioned for Superintendent of Public Instruction to succeed the late Dr. Nkthan C. Schaeffer. In this connection the Governor said that if Pennsylvania had a ta?; collecting system along modern.busi ness lines it could get a third more revenue than it receives to-day. The Auditor General, he said, is get ting in as much as he can under the present laws hut owing to Constitu tional limitations and the lack of. certain statutes, which are now be ing studied, Pennsylvania is losing much that it should have to rise to its opportunities. The Governor said that court delays also operated against prompt collections in some instances. The Governor said very frankly that he 'las considering this matter and how to meet the situa tion.
