4 SUGGESTION TO JERSEY CITY.
JUDGE MCARTER. IN SPEAKING AGAINST
EQUAL TAXATION ADVISES MORE ECON
Only AND LESS CORRUPTION.


Trenton. March (SpcclaD Thomas y. Mccarier
made an argument to-day before the House Commit
Tee on Railroads and Canals In opposition 10 queens
Equal Taxation bill He represented the Lehsh
Valley Railroad Company.
He started off by saying that he objected 20 any
change In the Railroad Tax law OF 1871 The bill
under discussion provided for double valuation Of
the main stem Of all railroads. and for Increase In
the local tax rate. And all this Mr.. McCarter said.
WAS for the benefit OF Hudson County jersey CITY
No other community Was represented here AS asking
for any such legislation But 1t was no new expert
ence TO Jersey City here In its present attitude
An experience Of twenty years In the Legislature
has proved that In fifteen years at least Jersey
CITY has come here with alleged grievance. once
In nfteen years there Is volcanic eruption OF this
sort. About twenty years ago Jersey city wanted Il
bridge built WashingtOn-st, and II said II could
not exist without it, But no bridge was built and
Jersey city survives.
Mr. McCartcr advised Jersey city to dispense with
its extravaganza and corruption, run its government
economically. the same as Is done In Newark and
other cities and there would be necessity 10 ask
the railroads to make up for It's losses. Too much
money was now raised by the State from the rail-
roads. The large surplus every year led TO eXtrava
gance No more money should be raised by taxation
Than is needed TO support the State Government He
would suggest remedy for the supposed evil. Let
the State practise system OF economy, and II there
Is a surplus In the treasury appropriate 1t TO OPP
pressively taxed districts.
Henry " Condict and Assemblyman Queen ad-
dressed the committee In support Of the bill. and
James Buchanan in behalf OF the West Shore Rail-
road Company. spoke against II.
