WHAT IS HE AFRAID OF?

B Geo. H. Earle would not try to “turn heaven and earth” in an
effort to prevent that grand jury investigation. When all
previous efforts failed he indirectly threatened to call out the
state militia to prevent its progress.
It is beginning to appear, not only to us but hundreds of
others, that there must be something the Governor and “13
others” do not care to have made public.
Our impression is, if they are guilty they should be punish-
ed and if not they should be vindicated.

OUR FIRE LADDIES
Our Firemen deserve a lot of credit for the
which they do things. This was demonstrated at Middletown
Saturday.
In competition with twenty-two of the leading fire com-
panies throughout that section, they not only won first honors
for the most men in line but in addition copped third prize
for the best appearance.
It is quite a credit to any town for having such an able and
manner in
ever willing corps of volunteer firemen.
May they succeed in winning future laurels.
PRESIDENT TAKES A HAND
The Administration’s “purge” is definitely underway. The
President has stated that he feels himself at liberty, being
head of the Democratic Party, to take a hand in state prim-
aries if he so desires. And according to all of the Washing-
ton correspondents, the purpose of his swing around the
country was to endorse candidates he wants to see sent to
Congress, and defeat those who have opposed his major pol-
icies. The acid test seems to be the Judicial Reorganization
proposal. Those who voted for it are considered good New
Dealers by the Administration. Those who voted against it,
irrespective of their records with respect to other legisla-
tion, are mostly in the dog house.
FOREIGNERS SHOW THE WAY
| According to some of the experts, the upturn in the stock
market was the result of a heavy, sudden influx of foreign
money into American securities, Foreign capital, so the story
goes, took the view that values were at extremely low levels,
and that the market was a real bargain counter. The foreign
financial invasion gave a surge of confidence to American in-
vestors, who began buying. Then the investment trusts, which
had generally been out of the market for some time, waiting
for what seemed the low point, stepped in and the major rise
‘resulted. The gains have been generally held, with only min-
or reactions, on the basis of the latest quotations at the time
this is written.
It will be six months before another Congress meets. Dur-
ing that time, the American people must make it known to
their elected representatives that the much-talked-about re-
vision of the government's tax system has been too long de-
ferred.
What about those business-killing levies—the capital gains
and the undistributed profits tax? What about broadening
the tax base—perhaps the greatest need of all? ‘What about
our excessively high corporate and income taxes that dis-
cograge investors, depress industry, and create more and
more unemployment?
! These are examples of great questions which must be ans-
wered at the next session of Congress, if we are lo escape
économic chaos. That Congress will have many vital issues
on its calendar—but none will be more vital than tax revis-
ion and reform.
SAVED BY A THREAD!
. It sounds incredible—but at least once in recent years a
good-sized American city was saved by a thread!
The thread in this case was that of fire-hydrant coupling.
A great fire started in the city, and soon grew beyond control
of the local department. Help was summoned from another
city a few miles away. The needed equipment arrived, attach-
ed its hoses to the hydrants, and the city was saved.
“Here is where the thread comes in. A comparatively short
time before, the city struck by fire had changed its couplings
to the standard size. Had it not done this, the out-of-town
equipment could not have used its hydrants, would have had
no water supply, and so would have been worthless. And the
probability is that the city would have been destroyed.
A city was saved by a thread! It’s the little things that
start fires—and it’s the little things that make it possible to
successfully prevent and control them. And those little things
can be the means of saving tens of thousands of lives and
hundreds of millions of dollars.

The club decided to conduct a
campaign to acquaint the motoring
public of Lancaster county with
the provisions of the State ve-
hicle code. Newspaper articles, a
page in the club's magazine each
month and other channels will be
used to bring the motor laws to
satisfactory. Superphosphate at the
rate of of 150 pounds an acre when
the cover crop is seeded will help to
insure satisfactory growth, say Penn

The purpose of the appropriation is to stimulate business

that the money should be used for projects which will give
