HOME BASKET BALL
IL TEAM BEATS DALLES

The High School basket ball team
went to The Dalles Friday and admin
istered druhbing to the High School
team there, to the tune Of 20 to Z.
The game was played before large
audience at Baldwin's opera house,
and the brilliant play of the Hood
River team caused the spectators to
applaud them loudly. The following
is an account of the game, taken from
The Dalles Chronicle:
The first half was evenly contested,
The Dalles having shade the better
of the argument. Fouls we're numer-
Gus and personalities many. Whan
time was called at the close of the first
half the score stood to 4, and the To-
cal rooters expected the high school
to deliver up the goods in the last
half, but they failed dismslly.
When the second half opened the
superior team work of the visitors be
gan to have a telling effect. No one
could tell just how it happened, but
the fact remains that it did happen,
and when the locals came out of their
trance Hood River had annexed 10 ad-
dltlon8l points.
The basket throwing of Baker was
phenomenal, while Conrow and Young
did the best work for the locals.
Near the end of the game the High
school boys by brilliant squirt added
three points and time after time the
ball balanced on the edge of the bas-
ket, but always tipped the wrong way.
The god of fortune seemed to have
the strawberry pickers under his es-
pecial protection.
The best of good feeling prevailed
throughout the game. The conduct
of the Hood River boys was gentle
manly in every respect and the local
boys say they were defeated fairly

Next year the new tax rate law that
fixes the rate at which taxes can be levied
at 81 so on the 500 valuation in all cities
under $50, 900 will go into effect, and
sGoveror Stokes is sanguine that this law is
going to bring about in era of econom-
ieal administration such as has not been
known since the Republican party
came into power in New Jersey. We hope
the Governor is accurate in all his esti-
mates, but it occurs to us that if a tax rate of
81 90 to the 800, on valuation of s., 600,
600 yield $40, 600; if the rate is reduced to
81. so the valuation will have to be pro-
portionately increased to meet the $40, 000
of expenditure.
1t occurs to us also that a law permitting
cities Of Woodbury's class to build and
operate its own lighting system would have
been more definite measure of relief
from burdensome taxation than an arbitrary
tax rate and an elastic system of valuation,
and had the influence of the Executive
Chamber been exerted to lift from the tax
receipts OF cities like Woodbury. the grasp
ing hand of the Public Service Corporation,
we would have more faith that the sum Of
money Woodbury. property owners must
lay down in taxes would be reduced than
we have in the Governors scheme OF low
rates and high values.

Our state rulers fare exceedingly liberal
IN the oestoSai o. fprincely salaries among
themselves, put gien it comes to expendi-
ture of public m0sneys for cause that ef-
feets all the People, they at once become
wonderfully economical The legislature
that has lHst adjourned enacted something
like tblTee hundred new laws Some of
them are of general Importance, others
affect all cities, others counties, others
townships, Others the boroughs, yet the
people who are supposed to know the law,
will never see one of them, unless after
fleeing lawyer. In the State expenditure
of 81, 070, 1873 90 in 1884, quoted in another
column, was included the expense Of pub
fishing the laws in one hundred State news
papers, while in the expenditure of 81, 1897,
63l OF in 1904, was not cent for that pur-
pose. There is strong suspicion that
there is method in this secrecy of law max
ing that. is exceedingly expensive to the
people in more ways than one.

Besides helping the corporations by max

the rate that other property paid in the tax
ing district in which that property lies,
which means reduction in great many
of the taxing districts of the State, since
the former rate was one and one-haif per
cent. and this is hig her than the usual local
rate, the legislature went still further and
enacted law which limits the rate of taxa
ton in all taxing districts. The State is
indeed lucky in that the legislature did not
wipe out corporation taxation altogether.

New Jersey as a School for Jour-

James Martin, recently promoted to the
managing-editorship of the New York
Tribune, was a few years ago the legislative
correspondent of that paper stationed at
Trenton, and Mr.. Martin may, therefore,
be supposed to carry with him into his re-
sponsible position fairly good knowledge
Of political conditions in this State as well
as quite an extensive acquaintance with its
public men. His successor, w. Scott Sny
der, at one time, when a boy, connected
with the Monmouth Inquirer, has already
been number of years in the harness and
is familiar visitor at Trenton Scott
Yields faciIe pen and with Mr. Martins
familiarity with New Jerseys affairs, and
Mr.. Snyder on the spot to atterd to details,
the Tribune ought to be able to see that its
Republican readers, at least, are fairly we'll
taken care of.
Mr. Cloke, gives an able weekly resume of
N. Jersey affairs, mainly political, in the n
York Herald as he has done for years; and
score or more of other Jer eymen serve
other New York and Philadelphia papers
with New Jersey news and comment IN
such wise as to keep the tight little State
well up towards the front of the stage in
the drama Of everyday newspaper life. And
still other present or former residents of
connection with journalism ia the neareby
great cities might be mentioned, and leave
the list incomplete.
Among these are the late Col. William
H. Glider, artic explorer aud descriptive
writer, who was at one time city editor OF
the New York Herald, who hailed from
Bordentown; DIR. st. Clair McKelway, the
eminent publicist and editor of the Brook
lyn Eagle, not so long ago resident of
Trenton; Edward S. Ellis, also writer OF
some celebrity, until comparatively recent
ly also Trentonian, and William C. Reick,
formerly of Burlington, who is the present
president OF the New York Herald associa-
ton.
Richard Watson Glider OF the Century
lIdgdyiae was some years ago legislative
correspondent at Trenton, where he is still
well known, and the late Ernest @. Cham
berlin, who died managing-editor of the
New York World was formerly connected
with the Trenton Times. Not so very long
ago the late John Y Foster was for several
years connected with New Jersey papers,
spending part of his winters at Trenton, and
afterwards went with the Ha,pers and be-
came still later an editor of Fraak Leslie's
weekly.

could be easily extended to include many

Wild Rumors Anoat-
since the close of the les
Especial Correspondence. ]

Ever since the close of the legislative
session last Friday morning there have
been wild rumors about the Hillery
maximum tax rate bill becoming a law
without having been passed by the SEN
ate and the consequent necessity of an
extra session of the legislature to cor
rect the trouble and properly pass the
bill. How it could be possible for a bill
to pass the senate, then be amended in
IRE, and reach the governor and receive
his signature without the senate having
adopted the house amendment was Il
problem that puzzled the oldest clerk.
Senator AIinturn of Hudson was the
first to call attention to the bill He
was opposed to it in any form and
soon after leaving Trenton wired to
Governor Stokes to withhold his sig
nature from the bill because it had
not been passed in the senate with the
house amendment Others held that il
had been passed in the regular way.
Governor Stokes had already signed
the bill when Senator AIinturns dis
ton was commenced, and then rumors
OF an extra session arose. The inves.
tigation developed nothing definite I'M
til Monday, when Senate Journal
Clerk $. Merchant Meeker of Union
county came here and went over the
senate minutes A brief search dis,
closed the fact that the bill with the
house amendment had reached the sen
ate Thursday evening and had been
passed by the senate This set all the
rumors of irregularity at rest and
proved conclusively that the bill had
been properly passed.
1t is surmised that Senator Minturn
was busy with other matters when IL
the rush of the closing hours the bill
was given hurried reading in the
senate and put through without his
having been aware of it.
stokes Recommendation Accepted.
One very gratifying feature Of tbs
legislature to Governor Stokes was

Teachers, Retirement Blu.

A large delegation of teachers from
the State Teachers association waited
upon the governor early i'll the week
to see what had become of the bill al
lowing an appropriation for the ad
ministering of the teachers retirement
fund. The original bill, allowing 4
state appropriation of $500 for the
administration of this fund by the
state, met with many objections, and
a compromise was effected through a
committee of the teachers by which
the state was to appropriate only
81, 800 for the purpose. Now it has
developed that the State Teachers as
ISOLATION gave no power to this com.
mittee TO sanction a compromise, and
in consequence there has been trouble
in the air ever since the substitute bill
was passed. When the teachers saw
Governor Stokes this week he inform
ed them that they could not have even
the 81 800 provided for III the suhsti
tute bill because no provision had been
made for the appropriation in the ap
preparation BILL The teachers Were
very indignant at this. but they soon
came to realize that the fault was with
the committee which had accepted the
substitute bill. This committee it was
contended. should have seen that the
necessary appropriation was included
in the usual appropriation bill. The
teachers fund will now have to wait
another year for its appropriation.
