The first, of a series of big mass meetings to help along the cause of manicijal improvements, will be held the court house on Thur daj' evening and will be a grcui opening of the. c.imp.iign for the betterment of the gr.oving Capital City.

The llarrisburg plan, now famous throughout the State, will be explained in full and there will be talks by Judge SinrotHon, ho has consented to preside, and by well know men. Ar rangi inents will also bv nxule for the receiv ing and ans wering of questions from persons who desire to be informed on The meeting will be I held ai eight, o'clock mid will be a town meeting in everj sense of the word. To morrow evening there win be. a meeting of the campaign committee to discu. the plans for a systematic canvass of the city in behalf of the improvements.

One of the objects to be secured by I the increase of debt to be voted for at (the February election will be the i deepening and idening of the chan I nel of Pa: on Creek in order Ui avoid floods in Paxton Creek Valley. Various plan were considered. The diversion of the creek into Fox's Kim to the river, nortih of the eit.v, was fully considered, but abandoned on flcount of its great cost. The. retention of the floods in he upper portion of the valley of creek bv means of dams to catch the flood waters, was also considered and abandoned on account, of its cost.

T'he plian above stated of confining the creek to its (present channel, it he deepening of the bed and widening of the slopes to take care of the floods and construction of tin intercepting" channel for it he sewage was deluded upon, as be ing the most feasible and of least expense. Any; sj'stem of improvememts for the it which does not provide for some remedy' for the recurring floods of the Tax ton Creek vallej would be a great mistake. When destructive flowls. inflieitinjr great damage, upon individual's, who pay tax es, visit any portion of our eit.v, the obligation rests upan the entire eit.v to lend) a hand and pay part of the expense incurred in cleaning up the debris, repairing tlie roads and even privalte property, when necessary, when the damage done would cripple, tihat portion of the community financially. This is also necessary for the Make of the general public health.

It was therefore deemed not onlj wise but necessary (in Ithe plan of publje improvements prjected 'to provide a plan that would prevent the recurring of the floods in Paxton Creek vallej and at t'he same time provide for an intercepting 'sewer parallel witih ithe creek, to take care of the sewage that heretofore emptied into the creek, and thus avoid its pollution.

Judges Simonton nnd Weiss presided over a session of argument court to day for (the purposes of hearing arguments in appeal's from settlements in State tax cases. The various corporations were represented by Attorneys Olmsted Stamm, Snod'grass Suodgrass and Strauahan.

Attorney General Elkiti tuid Deputy Attorney General Felitz represented the Coan monwrtilt.h. Most of the apiH ls were on the question of payment of taxes by corporations whose plants are now being' operated under leases. Included among the appeals was that of the Keystone Laundry Company, of Pittsburg, represented by At tornies Murphy A Hosaek and J. L. Pitche.v, of in the argument it was contended that, the laundry company is not liable, for tax on capital stock for the reason that within the act it is a manufacturing corporation.

This is a new point raised by Mr. llosackand is of much interest to launrj men ull over the State. Hon. James A. Stranahan, representing the American Steel and WiYc Compan.v, m'ade argument on behalf of his client claiming Hiafc the laws now constituted does noit contemplate the taxing of anj kind of manufacturing corporations foreign or domestic.

His company does business in six States besides Philadelphia all legitimate manufacturing business, and that it went to other States to get authority to do business was because that auflliority could not bo gotten in Pennsylvania. Attorney General El kin followed in a line of argument to show that after State manufacturing corporations had established great business in Pennsj lvania, foreign corporation's get a ch.rter in anot.hejr Stnite to do business here and then come back and claim exception from taxation AS OTHERS SEE US. The Philadelphia Press of to day, speaking of the local elections in the State this Spring, has this to say concerning the situation in Harrisburg: "But where there is some important question of municipal improvement taking precedence of everything else it seems to us to be a wrong policy to enter into a partisan struggle in the heat of which those interests of most concern to the people of the city may be easily lost sight of. Harrisburg has a situation of this kind. At the same time that it elects a Maj or and many Council men the people will be called upon to approve a city loan of $1,000,000 for comprehensive and desirable public improvements.

It is easy to be seen how a partisan contest for Mayor may put many In opposition to the loan who would otherwise be well disposed toward it, and that is something to be avoided because the improvement question outweighs every other. It would be more than a misfortune to have it defeated merely to gratify the partisan appetite to control a score or so of petty municipal appointments." Mi.ldl rwn is Hopeful. Philadelphia Inquirer. The Inquirer has no ulterior purpose to subserve when it takes occasion to remark that the regular army camp, which tie War Department says it intends to establish in Pennsylvania, ought to be upon the main line of one of the great Pennsylvania Railroads. We had ample proof during the Spanish American war that troops sometimes must he moved quickly.

To employ an old saying, the quicker the better. The more remote the camp, therefore, the harder to come up to requirements, a truth whioh must he obvious to every one. We are not speaking of either Middle town or Lebanon. It is a paitiriotic view of the case which we take. And that vieiw, we firmly believe, will be sustained by the people of both the towns interested in this case.

On subjects of this kind they do not go far wrong. Bean Service To day. The i Dauphin County Telephone Company egan service to day. Over three hundred telephones are in use. SNAP SHOTS AT LATE NEWS.
