The governor also recommended removal of the exemption of public utilities from the eight-mill gross receipts tax and the removal of the tax favors granted to foreign cor- porations which relieve them of the five mill tax paid by Pennsylvania corporations.

Concerning oilier points in the program proposed last week by Martin at the governor's ence, the governor endorsed them with certain reservations. He said he had ordered a $5,300,000 reduction in the cost of the state government to meet the anticipated deficit resulting from declining revenues due to the depression. He said this would obviate the necessity of new taxation to balance the budget. He said he favored restoring the curtailment of appropriations to state-aided institutions, but asserted that this could be done only oy legislation.

OUR PAY DAY SPECIAL witnesses, completing cases and securing submissions to avoid the expense of a jury trial. In presenting the continuance motion to the court for the Bar association, Mr. Sullivan said he had interviewed the majority of the members who expressed their satisfaction at the move.

Mr. Sullivan also took occasion to score the April "drag net" spread in Blair county by federal prohibition officers, who, he declared, "left the prosecutions to county officers after making aids on petty offenders. It will cost Blair county approximately $2,000." he declared. "The majority of the people arrested in the series of raids are unable to pay fines and the county must bear the costs of prosecution. The proper place for prosecution of the results of such work is the federal court at praying on their knees in the saloons in their ardent desire to save men from the evils that so commonly sprang from those sources of iniquity." Supported Anti-Saloon League He told how both he and his father had supported the Anti-Saloon league, contributing since 1900 a total of $350,000 to its work.

He said he had hoped, when the Eighteenth amendment was adopted, that it would be generally supported and bring temperance. Instead, he said, "drinking generally has increased," and that "the speakeasy has replaced the saloon, not only unit for unit, but probably two-fold if not three-fold."

As "an inevitable result" of these effects, he said, "respect for all law has been greatly lessened." Evils Outweigh Benefits He expressed a belief that benefits of the Eighteenth amendment are far out-weighed by "the evils that have developed and flourished since its adoption, evils which unless promptly checked are likely to lead to conditions unspeakably worse than those which prevailed before." "It is not to be expected." he said, "that the repeal of the Eighteenth amendment will in itself end all those evils and restore pub Wall Paper $fT'00! 10 Rolls Side. 20 Yards Border One Gallon Fine HOUSE PAINT.
