Beet Sugar Hounty,

What will the legislature do with
the beet sugar bounty laws is ques-
ton which is interesting the legal
fraternity. 1t means much to the
state, as in view of the expected enor-
nous production of beet sugar, the
established under the law could not
claim the bounty for the entire seven
years, or, in other words, if the law is
not contract of the state with
the manufacturers. Prominent law
yers are of the opinion that all factor
les built in view of the law could hold
the state for the bounty.

amount now as under the old regime,

Newark men is becoming too much of a
good thing" said one OF the citizen tars

THE selection Of the detail for Trenton
today is not the only instance of it. Dur
Ing the war the Newark men were as
signed to all the easy births on the Badg-

were equally glaring evidences of it. It
