Of the Passaic River through a common
trunk " discharging just ahoAfe the

OF the Newark trunk sewers. In otfier
public undertakings it may be noted that
a large part of the territory in question

for Newark: that the Essex County Park
Commission is now spending ST. 500, 900 on a
park and boulevard system for Newark,

Essex county; hat this county has long
mad a county road system; and that 1t

Numbering that in the purity and beauty
of its inland waters lies, to a great de-
gree. the health and wealth of the
State.
Other commonwealthg should profit by
the experience of the Passaic valley n
conserve their streams before 1t is too
late, Massachusetts,, New York and
Ohio require the approval of all plans for
sewerage systems by their respective State
Boards of Health before construction is
started. New York has enacted legisla-
ton which makes possible the establish
ment of rules for the sanitary protection
OF any drainage area in the State used
FOR a public water supply. Illinois and
Pennsylvania now have comprehensive
bills on the same subject before THEM re-
spective legislatures. The closr ,3f this
century of progress should see all the
States, where population is dense, with
laws on their statute books providing for
the. effective protection from pollution of
their water courses, and, what is equally
necessary, an effective system of enforc-
ing these laws.

One of the pleas of the Essex traitors
who voted against the Equal Taxation
bin was that its adoption might lead to
the adoption of a State tar. No wonder
the Essex hog element is afraid of one.
If a direct State tax were substituted for
the present Ubiquitous system, Essex
would nave to pay her share of the State
expenses and Hudson no more than her
share.
1t is far different now. The entire sum
raised for the State treasury at present
is about s., 100. 600. OF this. Hudson county
contributes about $3.50, 900. That is TO
say. ONE COUNTY OUT OF TWENTY
ONE CONTRIBUTES FIvE-sEyENTHS
OF ALL THE STATE REVENUE.
Is this Essex's idea of fair play?
But under the present system, Essex
contributes about $685. 600 of the 81. 100, 600,
or just one-tenth of what Hudson con-
tributes. In this case, one county out of
twenty-one contributes fve-seventieths or
one-fourteenth of the entire State rev.
enue, and this boastfully the richest
county in the State.
Is this Essex's idea of fair play?
Just put the figures together
Hudson's share of the State rev.
Essex's share of the State rev.
Hudson's fraction of the State in
Gomez $3.50. -.: %
Essex's fraction of the State in
Gomez. 1880. -.....- ...-...-.-.. o-fV
Now. let us look at what a State tay
would NEAR to the two counties. If it
were assessed on the value of all the
property in all the counties in the State:-
Hudson's share would be about. $780, 900
Essex's share would be about. 425,0o9
Increase of burden to Essex. $4,000
No wonder the shirkers and dodgers,
the g~rabbers for a $4,000 Newark armory
are "afraid of a State tax"
Let Hudson pay. is the motto of our
highly moral neighbors on the other side
Of the Passaic. Let the State be run for
the benefit of Essex. So long as we grow
fat on exemptions. we are rather better
pleased than not that Jersey City should
be kept clean. 1t will keep her from be-
coming too formidable a rival to our good
city of Newark. 7

Republican ism and the Race Tracks
We are now and have always been in
favor of horse racing conducted in a
g~entlemanly, sportsmanlike manner, with
ali the necessary oncomitant of betting
and pool selling on the track. The sys-
tenn which prevails in England, France,
Germany and other European countries
embodies a good average morality-good
enough. for all practical purposes and not
too good for the enjoyment of life. We
would therefore favor any racing bill
drawn on these lines which might be
introduced in the Legislature under ordi-
rarly decent auspices.
But there is something revolving about
the idea Of a Republican in this State
introducing a bill of this character. The
Republican party is in power wholly and
solely on the race track issue. 1t never
would have got in but for that. 1t was
the race track bills that led to the turn
over in 1898. and thus to the election OF
John w. Griggs and the grip that the
party now has on all ranches of the
State government
There is. therefore, something unspeak-
ably false about this party turning on
the people who put it in power, and doing
the very thing that 1t was elected te
undo. 1t merely affords one more proof
that the party is rotten to the core Il
has neither principle nor honesty. It il
guided wholly and entirely by self1shness
and greed.
