For twenty-five years, or since the

gone above 80 and the average maxi

day was .he hottest of the present ses-

tai in order to secure the protec-
ton that the State affords them.
The New Jersey Constitution Is
more than friendly to, the trusts.
Il throws the aegis of its protec-
ton around them; and New Jersey
has been found willing to 60 into
the courts to assist its trusts when
they become involved in legal or
constitutional difficulties.
It is only fair to the people OF
New Jersey to say that TO many OF
them the unenviable reputation
the State has gained as friend OF
the trusts is most disagreeable,
and that somewhat serious effort
was made, q short time time ago,
/ to so amend the Constitution OF
the State as TO shut out the trusts.
Objection was made to this change
on the ground that it would mate
rally reduce the revenues of New
Jersey. 1t was while the question
of getting rid of the trusts was un-
der discussion in New Jersey that
Delaware came to their relief and
announced it's willingness to shell
ter them; and this was made an
argument why New Jersey should
cling to the trusts. why" it was
asked, should it Danish them
when this action would not have
the slightest effect in getting rid
of them, but simply compel them
to move over into neighboring
State, which would profit by the
excessive virtue of New jersey"
