TONS SHOW INCREASE
Continued from page ~

lsO3 as the most radical one of the
year. Under the old law q deduction
CT III 1 be allowed for mortgage in
debtedness, and the mortgage was
assessed to the mortgagee. This is no
longer done.
Mortgages on taxable real estate
under the new law can no longer be
deducted from the value of the land
nor assessed 10 the mortgage, but
mortgages on exempt land or lands in
another State, and mortgages on per-
sonRl property or mingled real and
personal, are still subject to assess
ment to personality. provided they are
n 1t exempt undet other provisions of
the law. Where a mortgage is
assessed. it should be at its true value,
and not to the amount it purports to
secure. The report cites this instance
where the face value of q mortgage
is 81, 900, and $500 has been paid on
the principal, the mortgage should
be assessed for only the remaining
$780,"
The new taxing method which is
known as the unit system is COM
mended in the report. This system,
W itch is now in use in Trenton and
Camden, is shaped after the system
in force in st. Paul, MINI. The re-
port briefly explaining the unit system
says: "Tne values OF corner lots and
lots next to corners are computed
fromItha values of centre lots in each
block. Tho value of the centre lots
being first ascertained and appraised,
the corner lots are found by means of
ingeniously constructed diagrams"
1t is advocated in the report that
meetings of the Slate Board of Taxa
tion be held such as have been held
during the past year at county seats
for tho purpose of investigating local
ASSESSORS methods and instructing
such officials as to the requirements
of the new act.

CIRT GETS
STATE BUILDING.
New Jerseys Home at the St. Louis
Exposition May be Moved to the
Sta!e's Camping Ground.

Trenton, Nov. 3O;-Governor Muir
ply said yesterday that he understood
that the New Jersey State building on
the Worlds Fair grounds at St. Louis
would be moved to Sea Girt.
The commissioners had been unable
to obtain for it a price at which they
feel they would be warranted in dis
posing of it and had decided 10 take
it down and transport the material to
the State camp ground at Sea Girt.
This, he said, wouid be done under
the authority of the Worlds Fair
commissioners, which he considers
ample for the purpose, and the cost OF
taking down the structure and trans
porting the material from st. Louis
to Sea Girt would be paid out of the
surplus of the original appropriation
for the States representation at the
fair, which still remains in the hands
of the commissioner.
1t is not the intention of tho COM
mission to re-erect the building ON
the camp ground, but to leave that
phase of the matter to the Legislature.
The building is an exact reproduce
tion of the famous tavern house at
Morristown where Washington had
his headquarters during the winter at
Valley Forge. The pavilion cost
$l5,O 100.

NEW TROLLEY PLANS.
Route from Metuchen to Elizabeth
Projected.

Plainfield. Nov. 3d:-Agents are quietly
at work getting consents for right of way
and options on a private right of way for
the trolley line to be built by the Short
Line Company from Midtown, through
Metuchen, to Elizabeth. The line is to
be the continuation of the Trenton and
New Brunswick East Lime. After the
incorporation of the company, the pro-
jet seemed TO die, no move being made
to extend the road. 1t was claimed that
farmers asked exorbitant prices for small
strips of land. demanding of the company
as much for a strip as they would have
been willing to sell their farms for a
short time ago. But during the past
week activities have been renewed and
it looks as IL plans were being pushed so
as to start the road in the spring.

new BRUNSWICK MAY
HAVE new POSTMASTER
President Roosevelt Said to be OPP
posed 10 a Third Term
disappointment.

ENew B~fnpswicRj, Nov. 3O:-Wasl'-
ington dispatches telling of an edict
said to hsye gone forth from the
white house agaipsa a third term for
p%residentiala %.appuintees is causing
much apprehension among %officehold-
ers throughout tile country.
Considerable speculation is going Oh
in this city as to what the outcome
would be Eff President Roosevelt
would Insist upon carrying ont the
edict here. Such action by the presi-
dent would mean the retirement of
Postmaster y. W. Russell, one of the
leaders of the G o. P. in Middlesex
county and an admitted power in the
party councils in the State.
The story of,the edict was mentioned
to u republican, and he was asked
what he thought about it. He broadly
limited that if President Roosevelt
should attempt to insist on his alleged
rule and nominate some ono else there
would be trouble.
Continuing, the republican said;
"If Mr.. Roosevelt should assert that
i have tho nominating power, Senator
Menn could at once retort; We'll,
but we have he confirming power.
There couIa be but one outcome of
that situation. The confirmation
wou;d be hvtd up and no postmaster
being chosen Mr.. Russell would
serve"
The story,as it'comes from WASH
ington is that President Roosevelt, in
having declined to run for a second
tern, has set M example which will
bo carried u in the appointment of
all g~overnr1ent officials who do not
come under the civil service reRula.
tions. A member of is
quoted as saying authoritatively that
the federal appointees who will have
served eight years in March will be
asked to step down and out and give
others a chance.
He says it is considered q fair pro-
position that if eight years is long
enough for president. the same period
is enough for postmasters. revenue
officers ami the army or other people
whose terms run for four years.
1t is said that il this policy is
carried out between 80, 600 and 60, GOO
postmasters will not be eligible to re-
appointments in March. The same
thing applies to the force of revenue
collectors. Their number is not nearly
rs great, but when tine Deputies have
been added the total is considerable.
Under the same presidential ruling,
Mr.. Roosevelt will probably decline
to appoint customs collectors for tho
third term, which would affect Ro-
bert Carson, collector ct Perth Am
bow.

Mi-o-na acts upon an entirely different
principle from any other remedy for
dyspepsia. 1t mingles with the food
you eat, helps it digest, strengthens the
nerves of the stomach and gives health
to the whole digestive system. Instead
of the dose being increased from time
to time, it is gradually lessened until
natural digestion has been restored and
you are entirely well.
Begin the use of Mi-o-natoday with the
signed promise of Mr.. Sexton that it will
cost you nothing unless it cures. The
decision as to who pays for the remedy
rests entirely with you and should you
wish your money back, your word will
not be questioned. Could anything be

were committed to the Tombs in default
Of q, 900 hail each They are charged with
perjury and were arrested on warrants
granted by Justice Olmsted.
Deputy Attorney General Stephenson,
who, with Mr.. Morgan, was in court to pro-
secute, said that warrants had been issued
for fifty men, but only five could be found.
The complaint alleges that when the five
registered and were challenged they swore
falsely to some of the questions asked.
All the men registered at 81 Chrysde street,
in the First election district of the Sixth
Assembly district, Peggy" Donovans taili-
wick in Little Tim" Sullivans district
Mr. Stephenson said that the raid was the
first Of many to be made before election.
@We are absolutely sure that at least
fifty registered illegally in this election

that there are just as many repeaters in

The fact was commented upon that JUS

had been made at the suggestion Of Gov

Charles Hoffman, counsel for the plain
tiff said that his client had demanded the re-
turn OF his papers and the deputy had re-
fused to give them.
I'VE served the writ Of replevin on Mr..
Morgan at 0 o'clock in the morning of Oct IL,
and at 10 o'clock that night we got back the
papers and now they come into court and
say that there is no case because the papers
have been returned" added the lawyer.
"They have no more right to take those
papers than they have to seize mans

gave the State Superintendent of Elections
such authority. If the Legislature had
done so it would be contrary to the Con-
