London, June 27. —The taxicab driv
er is the best hated, man In London.
All through the war he rnled the
staxl-rKling public with an Iron hand
I and his sway, owing to the continued
shortage of cabs, probably will have
to be endured for many moro months.
You may ride In a taxicab here
only if the driver finds that your des
tination suits his own convenience.
His decision will be Influenced by his
{quick prognosis of the amount of the :

you will save time by joining a queue

•Hhe lofty authority of a taxicab driv

rt<f the spot when a passenger the
dove into an ernQty,

jrefused the driver's demand that he

sand refused to budge.
"Drive me to-Liverpool street. You

ENDED, SAYS MRS. DELUCA.
"Sometimes at night it seemed as
if I would smother," said Mrs.
Louisa De Luca, of 325 South Front
street, Steelton, Pa., wife of a well
known grocery keeper there. "Trou
ble with my liver caused me to be
dizzy and sometimes I would faint
or lie in a stupor," Mrs. De Luca ex
plained when telling of her condi
tion.
"I had been a sufferer from
stomach and liver trouble for years,"
she said, "and nothing seemed to

this?"
"Hi refuse* to got out of my sab."
"Ho refused to drive me," ?*as the
shouted chorus of driver and fare,
The policeman began to make
notes. "Do you wish to prosecute?"
he asked the passenger.
"No, I want to get to Liverpool
street," was the mild reply.
"Stick to It 1" the spectators urged
the passenger.
The crowd soon blocked the street.
Tho driver leaned unconcernedly
against the mudguard of his cab and
lighted a cigarette. The faro reclined
against the cushions. This continued
for twenty minutes. The crowd be
gan betting on the outcome. Odds
were offered on the driver.
"Well," said the passenger at last,
rather weakly, "I think I've taught
you a lesson."
"Not going, are you?" sneered the
driver.
"Unfortunately, I have an appoint
ment," the fare said to the crowd as
he alighted, trying to cover his re
treat.
The taxicab driver topk his seat
triumphantly and with a mocking
toot of his horn drove away. He still
was king.

Gettysburg, Pa., June 27.—Three

resentative. "Get these organs puri

MeCalg's Statement
The chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations ot the House of Rep
resentatives, William J, McCaigs is
sued the following statement:
"During the session the committee
was confronted with a request for
appropriations to the extent of about
$150,900,000, In discharging the du
ties connected with the work of this
committee it Is only reasonable that
the committee deal with the proposi
tion as would a businessman with his
own affairs and to that end it was
necessary, first of all, te ascertain
the outside limit of the amount to
which we could make appropriations.
During the session of 1917 appropria
tion bills of all sorts were passed ag
gregating between $85,000,000 and
$86,000,000. During the past two
years the activities of the Auditor
General's Department were such that
a largely Increased amount of reve
nue was collected and covered into
the State Treasury to the extent of
our being convinced that the reve
nues of the Commonwealth for the
next two years would approximate
$95,000,000. Since that conclusion was
reached the present session of the
Legislature passed some laws which
will further Increase the State's
revenues in the next two years to the
extent of possibly $103,000.00 or
$104,000,000. Based upon these latter
figures the committee felt justified In
recommending to the Legislature bills
aggregating $104,000,000 and we fully
expect that appropriation bills aggre
gating that amount, which will In
due course reach the Governor, will
be approved by him.
"Durigg the entire session both the
Senate and House committees worked
in complete harmony and In harmony
with the administration. The extent
to which this harmony has prevailed
is most forcibly set forth In the fhet
that conference committees have been
appointed upon but two appropria
tion bills during this session, a fact
not known in previous sessions. The
committee has had large problems
with which to deal and feels that the
work It has done will meet with the
hearty approval by the people of the
Commonwealth."
- Snyder's Good \\ork
It is interesting to note in connec
tion with the management of the
Auditor General's office under Charles
A. Snyder, the present Auditor Gen
eral. that at the end of his first full
fiscal year in office, to wit, Novem
ber 30," 1918, he collected, under the
various laws providing for the reve
nues of the Commonwealth, the sum
of $44,165,368.74 as against the siitn
of $31,700,489.35 collected during the
last year of his predecessor, or an in
crease of $12,464,879.39. During the
same period disbursements were
made to the amount of $42,407,064.30
as against $29,360,493.19 'during the
previous year. At the end of the fis
cal year the treasury also showed a
balance of $9,888,988.55.
The Auditor General, early in his
administration adopted and put into
practice a businesslike and scientific
method of taxation as provided by
the several Acts of Assembly. The
result speaks for itself. The collec
tions for the first half of the pres
ent fiscal year amount to $23,556,-
771.70 indicating a total collection for
the' present year of $47,113, 543.49,
or an Increase of very close to $3,-
-000,000 over the collections cf last
year.
CeaMrat ot Faade
The Auditor General Is quite confi
dent that a proper and businesslike
application of the methods for the
collection of the State's revenues
will provide a very material Increase
of the State's Income even under the
preecnt laws. It should al**o bo borne
In mind that the only additional ave
nue for Income has been that of the
direct Inheritance tax act of 1917,
which during tho last fiscal year
provided $2,643,462.13.
As a matter of fact tho Auditor
General Is quite confident that If the
additional and helpful legislation as
provided for in House Bills Nos. 1342,
1343, 1844, 1346 and 1346 shall become
a law that a very material Increase
can be looked for in tho State's in
come, Under these several acts, de
fects have been cured which existed
under the several original Acts of
Assembly which provided for the col
lection of Capital Stock and Corpor
ate Loans tax on domestic and for
eign corporations.
It should also be borne In mind
that no legislation has beeft passed
imposing any tax upon Capitol Stock
of manufacturing corporations. These
have always been exempted under the
laws of Pennsylvania, as the State
has continued to recognize the fact
that the manufacturing companies
have, by locating within the confines
of the State, brought untold wealth
and prosperity to the Commonwealth.

REACHBALKANS
Americans Will Better RaiJk
road Conditions in
Near East
flalonlkl, June 27.—With American
railway material arriving and Ameri
can army engineers In the Balkans
there Is now a prospect that rail
way conditions In the Near East may
soon be bettered. Heretofore the
work of rebuilding the thousands of
dynamited bridges and of repairing
the hundreds of miles of twisted, up
torn rirack In Serbia has progressed
slowly.
Serbian railroad engineers have
been handicapped by lack of labor
and material. At present it is a
matter of from ten to fifteen days to
cross Serbia from Salonikl to Bel
grade. If one link of the motor
truck service breaks down because
of washed out roads or floods carry
ing away bridges the whole work of
the American Red Cross, the Ameri
can Food Famine Commission and the
Serbian Relief Fund workers is held
up and a through journey to Bel
grade or Salonlkt across country may
require from fifteen days to a month.
American Importers, however,
should not figure on transporting
freight overland through Serbia at
this time. Railroads probably will
not be regularly running until early
In 1920. Belgrade is best reached via
Trieste and Fiume rather than from
Salonikl.
American shippers will find the
harbo>s and docks at Piaraeus
(Athens), in Greece, at Salonikl and
Constantinople crowded with freight.
Lighterage is difficult to obtain. Con
ditions are better at Constantinople
than at Piraeus and Salonikl. At
both these latter ports the traffic
snarl is almost In a hopeless state.
At Piraeus thousands of tons of
Newfoundland codfish which were
rotting on the docks have been
thrown Into the ocean to make room
for more urgent freight. With '.he
Greek army still in the field there is
a great shortage of labor throughout
Greece.
Japs to Send Students
To U. S. to Study Trade
Toklo, June 27.—The Department of
Education is planning to send eighty
students to the United States and
Europe this year to study trade and
industry. No such large number of
students has ever been sent abroad
by the Japanese government and it
indicates a determination to more
closely observe conditions in foreign
lands so that Japan may benefit by
all forms of modern progress.
