wipe out the International Company.
which is a New Jersey Corporation. He
argued that the trading stamp business
was purely an advertising business Whlch " e,
vertise when otherwise they would be
unable to do.
When Mr. Edwards undertook to refer
to the allegation made before the legis-
lative committees that the trading stamp
business was a lottery, Governor Voor-
hees interrupted him, saying that II 1t
present law.
The lawyer said the argument was
made by advocates of the bill that the
trading stamp concern was middle
man." If they are middlemen and you
are going to legislate against middlemen,
all the merchants who are present will be
wiped out of business.
Mr. Edwards continued the argument
that the trading stamp business as
monopoly was futile There We're twenty
trading stamp companies in the State and
the merchants were howling because they
alleged that certain of them could not
get what they alleged was a bad thing.
He presented numerous petitions urging
that the bill be vetoed.
Counsellor Frank s. Katzenbach spoke
in favor of the measure. He will submit
a brief later on the Constitutional ques-
ton He thought it was unnecessary to
make an extensive argument as the meas
ure had passed both Houses of the Legis-
lature.
He was followed by G, D. w. Vroom

COMPANIES TOO Big.
Fourth Regiment Disturbed Over
an Order Received From
Trenton.

Captain Alvin H. Graft. of Company T.,
Fourth Regiment, is in a predicament
Orders have been received by the officers
of the regiment to recruit all the COM
panies up to GA men each, but not to let
any company exceed that many members.
The law allows each company 80 enlisted
men.
The officers cannot understand why the
order was issued. Still less can they un-
derstand why they have been ordered to
ship to Trenton all arms and equipments
in excess of those used by the sixty-four
men in each company. SoVe OF the COM
panies have more than sixty-four mem
bers and the officers are puzzllng as 10
what they shall do with them.
Captain Graft has seyenty-four men II
his company and three propositions LOT
membership now before the company.
Last night, in accordance with the ofueIss
from the State headquarters he shlppeu
all the rifles he has in excess OF sky
four to Trenton. This will leave ten OF
his men without rifles.
He has not yet shipped the equipments.
He is wondering what ne IS TO do Win
his men; how is he to drill them Wlthout
arms or equipments. or which OF them ne
shall discharge if he is compelled, as the
order would imply, to cut down his COM
pany. The men are worrying over II, 100.
None of them want to be left out; none
of them want to give up their arms or
other equipments.

CAMPAIGN ASSESSMENTS.


The members of the Jersey City Fire
Department some time ago received word
that the usual campaign contributions
would be very acceptable. The custom
ary assessment is $5, and the intimation
given was that that sum would be rece1y-
ed with pleasure from any member who
felt disposed to contribute.
When the firemen, therefore, received
their March warrants last week the large
majority made their way to Fire Head
quarters and dropped s. bills into the
campaign fund.
1t is an unwritten rule that this fund
shall go to the party controlling the
department.
Besides being expected to contribute
to the campaign fund, the commandants
of the various fire companies have been
gently requested to contribute towards a
testimonial which is to be presented to
Fire commissioner John j. Cone at the
close of his term, April %.
The testimonial is to be in the shape of
a handsomely framed set of resolutions,
which is to be adorned with the pictures
of the various fire cemmandants.
The fire captains are having their pict-
ures taken for this. and they are each
contributing a dollar for this purpose.
This dollar is supposed to include the cost
of the frame and the inscriptions.

The Hoboken Paving bill was under

strong feeling that exists against the
measure produced a copy of the Hoboken

headlines and remarked
Have you water on the brain now in
Hoboken? They had it in Jersey City
few weeks ago."
After the hearing, it was generally
agreed that Voorhees, would sign the
bill. This is the measure that created
such a scene on the last night of the
session.

Senator Stuhr, heading delegation
from the Italian Taxpayers Association,
made the arguments against the meas
ure. When Stuhr had finished his TRADE,
Governor Voorhees, asked him why he
wanted to keep the contractors out of
their money.
'They have done the work" said the
Governor, "and you ought to pay for it,
1--WE cannot pay it through the present
administration and pay it honestly" said
Stuhr
Then one of the taxpayers exhibited the
yellow newspaper and after the Cover
nor had remarked that the article should
be taken with a grain of allowance,
Stuhr became uneasy and said:-'I don't
care anything about newspapers. Have
you received a letter from City Treas
urer Smith,"
Yes" replied the Governor; rbut he
said, Let the contractors sue the city.
That is not the way to treat honest
workmen, however. Is that the way you
pay your debts "
This foored the former Senator.
The work is not properly done" said
one Hobokenite.
You are mistaken" said the Cover

other day and he told me that the work
was excellent and you got 1t at low

Some of the opposition was directed
against the bonds that had been given
by the contractors, but this was set at
rest by Mayor Fagan telling the Gover=
nor one of the companies being for
eign corpora ton, had given a surety
company bond, and the other, a local
company, had given real estate bond.
