Several residences were completed last year, Three fine homes are being finished now; and four are in process of erection. Every Shavertown citizen should favor a re- tractive streets and public safety. Shavertown is a village of residence, no mines, no factories. We have three church organizations and two others just on border lines. It is asserted that a borough would necessitate many additional officers with increased taxa- tion. Dallas has been a borough more than fifty years and does not pay its burgess any salary. Its solicitors sal- ary is $100. The secretary is also the secretary of the Beard of health and prepares the tax duplicates for $150. The health officer gets at present ten dollars per month. A policeman gets $7.50 per month. This is necessitated largely because there is only one thor- oughfare through the borough. Shav- ertown paid last year to the Kingston township supervisors for attorney $37.- 50, for auditors$ 35.50, and $156.00 for other overhead. The supervisors ex- pefhise would not be charged to the He would be paid his wages and would be amen- dable to the borough council for his designated work. We are now paying eleven mills tax for roads and lights. Seven mills tax spent only in Shaver- town would give us better roads, more lights and more than pay all neces- sary borough expenses, i 'Shavertown Borrough Committee, League Entertains (Continued from Page 1.)

Hat in hand, the second wealthiest State in the Union | has continued to beg alms at Washington WHILE MAKING NO HONEST EFFORT TO HELP ITS POOR. The State of Pennsylvania. corrupt in politics’ and |; : ~ shamefully backward in its legislation, has too long been 3 ruled by a clique of venal politicians at the service of pri-| vate interests rather than public welfare. ~ Our ppliticians are competent enough for the routine tasks of handing out boodle to unscrupulous big business, and blocking social progress. But they have neither the jprains nor the humanity to handle the present crisis. If Mr. Grundy’s Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Associa- tion, or General Atterbury’s Pennsylvania Railroad, or Mr. Mellon’s vast enterprises needed protection, the money would be found, action would be quick, legal quibbles would be brushed aside. But since the need is not that of the pewerful who pull to the ballot box, THE LEGISLATURE IS NOT INTERES- ‘TED. Politicians well fed at the public trough find it a little difficult, perhaps a trifle boring, to worry about mass star-, ‘vation and misery. ” Servants of plutocracy to an extent almost unparalled : in any other State of the Union, our political leaders haven't time to'worry about the needs of the common people, nor the intelligence to sense the dangerous consequences pos- gible. : One man in the Vare Organization, Senator Salus, hon- estly tried to do his bit for the jobless—but he quit in dis- - gust when the gang wouldn’t back him up. ; Pinchot and the Organization have been busy belabor- i ing each other with wordy bladders, like low comedians in a burlesque show. ' Both have been quick to mak» political capital out of the other’s shortcomings, but neith~d has proposed to raise more than $10,000,000 a year, although $75, 000,000 to $125,- 000,000 is needed. The Governor, exploiting a liberalism that grows more insincere every year, has talked eloquently of the people’s needs, but he still refuses to give the poor a nickel from the $104,000,000 highway fund that means political patronage for the rural lieutenants of the Pinchot-Grundy combine. The fact that the liberal, Pinchot, is allied politically with the arch-reactionary, Grundy, is evidence enough of how little may be expected from that quarter. - The Philadelphia Organization, anxious to avoid enact- ment of the Pinchot program (which would deprive them of tax collection patronage), is now striking a noble pose as ~ friend of the poor. * Auditor General Waters, never yet very excited about the plight of the unemployed, suddenly leaps into the lime- light with a demand that the $14,000,000 available from the Dorrance estate be appropriated immediately for relief. Since that $14,000,000 already figures in the Pinchot ‘budget for the biennium, this appropriation would give the Organization a splendid excuse to prune Pinchot followers from the State payroll. Whatever his motive, Waters’ idea is a good one. all means use that $14,000,000 for relief. Both sides are exploiting the relief issue for political advantage, BUT NEITHER HAS AN ADEQUATE PRO- GRAM FOR RELIEF. Neither has the courage to declare for a major diver- sion of funds from highway building, an outrageous lux- wry in times like these. i Neither will fight for an emergency income tax to raise funds | for, the jobless.
