ALTOONA TRIBUNE, ALTOONA, PA, SATtmDAT. DECEMBER IBM Loeal Men Bring Down SnmitfiTTntinrPfl Illness Fatal Slang Given County Worker STANDING OF THE CREWS Seal Drive Is Opened Here Must Pay Tax Judge Patterson Deplores Employe's Attempt To Dodge Payment Due County employes will have to pay their tax. Judge Pattsrson yesterday declaring it with bad guce for anyone holding public position to evade taxes. This matter got Into the hands of the court through action brought by a client of Attorney Robert W. Smith.

An employe of the county commissioner's office had fought a farm about four years ago, located In Allegheny township. In due time the county employe defaulted in principal interest and tax payments and the farm was accordingly sold to the HollidaysbOTg Trust company, chief creditor. It developed that taxes of 1929, 1930, 1931 and 1932 had not been paid completely, leaving a balance of some $225. In the meantime, the tax situation in Allegheny township became tense because the bond of the collector was obliged to settle several duplicates for time taxpayers did not know to whom to pay their tax. The county got all of its tax but about $14.

Mr. Smith's client, the trust company, claimed it had no right to pay the delinquent tax of a person who was drawing a regular monthly salary from the county. Attorney John J. Haberstroh said that the county has but a small claim; he agreed that county employes should pay their tax. Law and court decisions seemed a little slack in the controversy but Judg! Patterson vras satisfied here was a place where common sense had a ruling A tipstaff was sent by the judge to the commissioners office to summon the clerk in question, Floyd G.

Hoenstine. Mr. Hoenstine claimed he owed nothing for 1929 as he had no title and neither legal or moral obligation for it. As fori the others, there was for a long! no person to whom to make I payments. The delinquency was justified by him in declaring he had paid out more than $1,600 in improvements to the property arid for which he gets nothing and that the purchaser of the property at sheriff sale ought to be glad to pay the tax in exchange for what lie had put on the property.

The Court and Attorney Haber-siroh were not satisfied with this proposition. County Commissioner Clair Fleck, said it was the first time the matter had been brought to his attention and that he heartily agTeed with the contention of Judge Patterson and others, that county employes tafc-icg money from the county every two weeks, should certainly he the first to py.y their tax. Mr. Hoenstine was told by Judge Patterson he should make sone plan for the payment at least by in stalments, of this tax obligation, Brief arguments vrere made at court yesterday in the case of Wanda Agnes Hewitt by her grandfather. Jades J.

Lohr, Paul Peterson. Attornev John J. Haberstroh. counsel for the defendant, had obtained a rule to ow cause why plaintiffs state ment should not be stricken from the record. The matter ended briefly, the court making the rule absolute and giving plaintiffs leave to file a new statement within fifteen days.

In the matter of the settlement of the estate of Joseph Fogel, deceased, a rule for bill of review had been sought. Ashton Gardner was the auditor in the estate. Dr. C. E.

Fawber presented a bill for $130 after the audit had been made and the court ruled it was too late and so discharged the rule. Arguments were made by Attor neys Homer I. Smith and John Woodcock, in an action in which the liability of an automobile man- i ufacturer and dealer is a mistake British 0. K. LONDON, Dec 1 New words added lately to the king's English like "ga ga, and "step on the gas" are, to the president of Magdalene College, an indication of a talented, highly- strung generation, "equally har- rasscd by its pleasures as by its pains.

"I find too large a vocabulary for a virile nation devoted to distinguishing every possible kind of comfort at every hour of the day and night" said the president George Gordon. "It gives the Impression of a very nervous generation eager to pass from one sensation to another." He added that Vowever rude or crude were American terms, "so Impudently near the truth," it was hard to resist giving them a place any "honest lexicon." Such terms he listed as graft once-over, dope, foolproof, pussyfoot and others. Pair Observe Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Harry Treese Of Hollidaysburg Married 50 Years HOLLIDAYSBURG Mr.
