New-York tribune., 1900-03-21

The Legislature adjourn sine die this week
without doing material injury 10 the State OF
the party in power. Not more than dozen bills
/ in all need serious consideration and some OF
! them could wait
So far as they have been heard from. the peo-
pie of New-Jersey do not care whether Assem-
blyman Fallon is a Republican or Democrat.
If what is known the Fallon Food bill is a
good one. they want it to become a law.
Between the supporters and the opponents OF
the Franchise Tax bill prepared by Governor
Voorhees,, and pending in the Legislature
the honors appear TO be easy Those who are in
favor of the measure say that IL is a long step
in the right direction, while those who are
against it say that II Is about crude pc
troeum before 1t gets to the refinery This
to be expected. generally speaking; but il
is little singular that legislative bill which
should be- and really is. far removed from
partisan politics almost any ordinary bust
ness proposition should excite friendliness and
hostility in about equal parts the ground OF
politics alone. The taxpayers Of New-Jersey
great deal more interested in the best
methods OF providing State revenue in equi-
table way than they are in the politics of any
member Of the Legislature. and those members
will be the most popular and the most respect
ed who dare TO do their duty without the as
sistance Of a any other party whip.
1t is not TO be expected that a perfect franchise
law can be made at once. in State whose in
terests are so varied and whose people
differently affected. that will suit everybody
But It is expected-and the expectation comes
being a demand-Jhat the Legislature
shall make an honest effort to pass franchise
which will least be promise of what
may be done when further experience is gained
This was the case when the General Railroad
law was passed. and il is the case now. That
law was made to meet a public demand Of long
standing 1t was by no means perfect at the
outset and has been frequently amended So
IL will probably be with any franchise act that
may be passed. but that is excuse for fur
ther postponement Of compliance with popular
desire, and the members of a Legislature who
neglect their duty in this respect will surely
have the people to settle with. for the people
are evidently determined 70 settle with them
In sizing UP the opinion of the Republican
State Committee on the Anti-Spring Election
BILL II seems TO have been forgotten that only
fourteen votes in a possible twenty-six were
cast at the recent meeting OF the committee in
Trenton. What the result of a full vote OF the
committee would be is as much of unknown
quantity as il was before the fourteen members
cast their votes. Moreover, the vote taken was
entirely informal. and individual and
not an official expression, some OF the news
