midable array of ~eloquehce In favor OF
the bill. all of which was unnecessary

Assemblyman Lloyd, the i~ntroducer OF
the bill. started the ball a rolling by ex-
planning the conditions tina exist In
Camden. which made the enactment OF
such a law a necessity. He took the
breath Of ON of the rural members
when he told them that there were up
wards of 1900 couples who lodged the
marriage license law of Pennsylvania,

He thought it was a safe Inference that II
1900 couples ram away from iuae Penrasyl-
vania law. that many In the State, with
its population Of 100000 were Illegally

of the bill came from certain ministers
ASSemblyman WildeS of Burlington led
a lonely opposition. He said the people
of Burlington were satisfied with the avs
of the State and all the marriages under
it turned out well, n they objected to
any obstacle in the way of matrimony.
Lloyd then closed the argument by stat

stock has been sold on this instalmea1t

The publication Of the personal tax
list yesterday was in itself ample proof
that # should have been published years
ago. There are hundreds of names on
it of persons who are ready and willing
to pay. but who have never had the least
idea that they were assessed. There are
hundreds of others who nave not paid
because nobody else did, and they did
not see why they should do any more
for the city than their ~neighbors.
There. are thousands Of names not on
the list which asuld begthere, and there
aregat least q omit which should
not. There are also strange Inequalities
and injustices disclosed. showing that in
the operations Of the Tax Commission
ers either carelessness or favoritism has
been very much the rule in this matter
of personal taxes
Any way, the publication Of this list is
the beginning of a reform, which, it is
10 be hoped, will prove far-reaching-

The rerm Exsenasr likely 10 Pass

Today elections are being held in most
of the towns through the State, especial
" in the southern counties. The Assem-
biymen are so interested in them that
they have suspended sessions for a day
to take part in the proceedings. These
same Assernblymen. three. weeks ago,
voted to deprive Jersey City of the privi-
lege Of settling IT'S local affairs In the
same way by holding separate spring
elections for municipal officers. with mu-
nicipal issues only involved in the con-
test. If an effort were made to extend
the Macarthur blu to the contests which
are today in progresss1not one of the AS
semblymen would dare vote for it. They
only do so because anything is good
enough for Jersey City. so long as it
pleases the party bosses,
A day or two ago. we clearly showed
that the Macarthur bill was probably un-
constitutional on two grounds, one that it
was special legislation; the other, that it
was in the nature of an appointment to
ofIice of the officials whose. terms are pro-
longed by it. It has been suggested.
since. that terms of officials have been
similarly prolonged, at least twice. with
out question. The cases were those of
the Hudson and Essex F~reeholders. whose
terms were twice extended a couple of
years ago To this it need only be re-
piled that the failure to question the ac-
ton On these occasions cannot affect the
principle. The default of litigation then
constitutes no precedent
The best way. beyond all doubt, to test
the extender act, if it passes-as it prob
for a mandamus to compel the Board of
Aldermen to order an election. The
proper persons to take the initiative are
the officers of the Democratic County
General and Executive Committees. They
should prepare petitions reciting the
facts of the situation and present them
through counsel to Judge Lippincott.
The Judge would then issue an order
to show cause returnable before the SUI
preme Court. As that body is now gath
cred together at Trenton. attending the
sessions of the Court of Appeals, it is
more than probable that an immediate
hearing would be given. If the court re-
fused the mandamus, that would end the
in time to be effectual. If the Court
granted the m~andamus, the Republican
upholders of the bill might appeal, but
they would not be allowed a stay. They
would be compelled to go ahead and hold
the election. OF course, if their appeal
were sustained, the title Of the newly
elected officials would not be valid. If a
mandamus were issued. directed to the
Board of Aldermen, it would be binding
upon all officials of the city.
If the Act be not, tested in some way,
prior to the tins for holding the election,
there will be no remedy later on, for
after May /, Mayor Wanser will have a
safe title to his Office as a h~old-over, if
not under the provisions of the Act. If
he should thus hold over, it is possible
tina by taking the Act into court n
having 1t declared Invalid. the Republic
cans might again prevent an election in
the fall and thus prolong his term until
next May. $3.50
