B. ALDINGER, Prop, § SMITH TAX BILL CAUSESDEBATE Figures Show Saving This Year of $9,200; Collector Takes Exceptions Taking' exception to a statement in the Telegraph giving tho approxi mate saving to tho county In case Senator Frank A. Smith's hill is passed, providing for one collector of tuxes to replace those in each city and county district, a county tax collector has written a communi cation in which he declares tho bill will provide a collection system as expensive, if not more so, than the one now in use. Tho Smith bill, the collector ex plains, provides for ono collector, deputy and three clerks, .at a cost of about $9,300 in salaries each year. To this ho adds SI,OOO for postage* $1,500 for supplies, including in this item permanent equipment, stteh as office furniture, adding machines and typewriters, which when once purchased can ho used for years, and SI,OOO for traveling expenses, making the total collection cost un der the new system, as estimated by the writer of the letter, $12,800. The collector then states that the cost of returning the taxes to the county treasury during 1918 was $17,000.48, so that the saving, as estimated if the collector's figures are used, would he about $4,400.48. County officials said to-day that the actual cost of collecting taxes last year will reach about $19,500 when all the tax accounts are settled so that in reality the saving to the county under the now system would be about $0,700. This year with the increased assessments, the cost of collection will reach at least $22,000, officials said, so that tho saving would then total $9,200. The eollcctor called attention to the difference in the commission paid in the city districts as com pared with tho townships and bor oughs, and also said that tho county would lose money bocauso the col lector and his assistants would have much more difficulty in getting per sonal taxes than a local collector, who has tho advantage of being in HARRISBTTRG TEEEGR3SPH closer touch with Individuals in his own district. The actual loss, as shown by the county collector, under the new sys tem is conditional. He estimates it at $2,766.64, if the city collectors were only paid a two per cent, in stead of a five per cent, commission. But with a total cost of $19,600 for last year and an estimated cost of $22,600 this year, even that differ ence could be wiped out and the county would save money, officials claim. Kach year the cost of collec tion increases under the present sys tem, which is far from satisfactory they say. Tlio Better The letter follows: To the Kditor of the Telegraph: In an editorial of the "Telegraph" dated May 26, you stated that Sena tor Frank A. Smith's Senate Bill No. 849, if passed and approved, will savo the county over $15,000 each year. If you will study the matter more closely you will find that, your statement is very mis leading and far from the true facts. Bast year under the law now in force, it cost the county $17,666.48 to collect the county and personal tax with collectors in each district in tho city, borough and township. If tho collectors in the Harrisburg districts would have received the same commission as the borough and township collectors, the cost would have been $7,343.12 less and the cost to the county would have been only $lO-,323.36. (The Harris burg collectors receive five per cent, and the borough and township col lectors receive only two per cent, during the rebate period when most of the tax is collected.) The Smith bill provides for one collector, deputy and at least three clerks for the office or a cost of over $9,300, which must be paid by the county. Postage will cost at least SI,OOO, as this office is do ing business with more than 50,000 taxpayers and each one must re ceive his tax bill by mail. Office supplies, including stationery, type writers, adding machines, furniture, etc., will cost at least $1,500. Travel ing expenses for the collector and his assistants will cost at least sl.- 000. The collector and his assist ants must be in each district in tho county several times each year, as they do business with many thou sands more individuals than the mercantile appraiser and other county officials. The county and per sonal tax will be far more difficult to collect than the mercantile and dog taxes and tho hunters' license, because they do business with many more people and this is the hardest money to collect in the world. Ask any of the several collectors in tho county. The approximate cost to the taxpayers would then be, if tho Smith hill is passed and approved, would be at least $12,800. A gain to tho county of $4,466.48 and a loss of $2,766.it by several thousands each year. Please lake the Fifth Annual Controller's Report for 1918 and I am sure that you will see for yourself that it is impossible for the county to* save over $15,000 each year. Respectfully Tours, A Dauphin County Tax Collector. Gives Hopeful Message of Russian Affairs I?!/ Associated Press. Atlantic City, N. J., June 4.—A hopeful message was given to the American people by Alexander Ze lejjko, of Russia, here yesterday. Mr. Zelenko who is the managing director of tho American commit tee of the Russian Co-operative Union, is representing his people at the annual meeting of the National Conference of Social Work. He said that Russia, when she has fought out her civil war will emerge as one of the strong nations of the world because of the strength, present as well as past, of the co-operative movement. Lottery and Gambling Same in Eyes of the Law Rending, Pa., June 4. lt does not matter whether operating a punch board is gambling or a lottery, accord ing to the Berks county court, Judge Gustav A. Endlich has just ruled that Isaac Friedman, charged with operat ing punchboards in this city, must stand trial as Indicated. Counsel for the de fendant had asked for the quashing of the Indictment on the ground that punchboards are a lottery, If anything, instead of a gambling device, and that he was being prosecuted under a wrong section of the law. "The law applying to the case is sufficiently broad to cover It," said the court in its opinion. TURNS BACK OVERPAY Sunbury, Pa., June 4.
