The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1905-11-21


To keep all the ante-electien promises
it would be necessary to double the size
of the police aud FIRE depa rtments. May
or Pagan and the men who managed his
campaign are hoping to dodge response
bility by putting the blame on the ap
plicants themselves. Civil Service Com
missoners are to be appointed and the
applicants for jobs on the police force
and in the FIRE department will have to
undergo severe examination. If they
fail to pass then the. Mayor will claim
that it is not up to him. He will say
he is sorry that the Commissioners must
depend upon the ratings Of the candi-
dates as fixed BY the Civil Service Com
missioner and in that way will try and
get away with it. Politics is a great
game and some people know how to play
It TO the limit, but sometimes they 60
bit too far and get caught with the
goods.

Thomas F. Connolly. who twice help
ed to elect Mayor Fagan aud who ,s now
outside the City Hall brsastworks, be-
cause he sided with Col. Dickinsnon in
the last campaign, is going to hold on
to the Assessment Commissionership un-
til his term expires. The fact that TO-
morrow he will assume the duties of
Warden of the County jail by appoint
ment of Sheriff Kaiser, does not cut any
ice with him. He will Willingly give up
his city job if he gets a guarantee that
an organization Republican viii succeed
him. Mayor Pagan viii not make any
such promise. and if be wants Connolly's $
PLACE he will have to find q way Of get
ting rid Of the popular First Ward hust-
Ter.

Mayor Pagan is expected home to-
morrow from his honeymoon trip. He
won't be able TO dodge the Office seekers
who crowd the lower corridor of the City
Hail. They are all llsgrowing anxious and
most of them want to know where they
are at. They expect the Mayor to tell
them. The talk among them is that
when he wanted their support. he did not
hesitate to ask for it. Now it is their
turn to do the asking. What a kick
some of them viii make when they get
an answer!

The excuse for forming the combine
was the claim that rates we're too low.
The rates since the association has been
creased and placed in working order
have been advanced from ten to n
hundred per cent. There are instances
in Elmer where property was formerly
insured for 80 cents annual premium
on the 500, where the same risk is o
compelled to pay $3.50 annually.
While there might have been a de-
mand for an increase in rates there
surely could not have been a good rea-
son for any such increase as has been
made.
At the old rates most insurance COM
panies made a profit. Atthe new rates
they must make fabulous profits.
The fire insurance combine should be
investigated and if it be, as we presume
it is, an illegal combination, it should
be compelled to dissolve.

II PAYS TO Advertise.

When James Gordon Bennett the
elder was editor of the Herald, Robert
Bonner, publisher of the New York
Ledger, was struggling to build up its
circulation, and decided to try a little
az advertising. He wrote an advertise
ment consisting of eight words: "Read
Mr.. Southworth's new story in the
Ledger" and sent it to the Herald
marked for zone line" Mr.. Bonner's
handwriting was so bad that the words
were read in the Herald office as lone
page" Accordingly the line was set
up and repeated SO as to occupy one
entire page. Mr.. Bonner was thunder
struck the next morning. He had not
to his name money enough in the bank
to pay the bill. He rushed eXcitedly
we to the Herald Office, but was too
late to do any good.
In a short time the results ofthe page
announcement began to be felt. Orders
for the Ledger poured in until the entire
edition was exhausted and another n
was printed. The success of t Ledger
was then established. Ever after that
time Mr.. Bonner was an ardent believ-
er in advertising and a liberal purchas-
er of space.-Newspaperdom.

The Camden Post is authority for
the statement that the Pennsylvania
Railroad management, having become
convinced that electricity is destined
shortly to displace the steam locomo-
tive In some important classes of rail
road operation, has determined to
electrify one of its two lines between
Camden and Atlantic City. The decis-
ion was reached last week, following
an inspection of the new electric subur-
ban system of the Long Island Rail-
road, made by President Cassatt, Cap
tain John P. Green, first vice president;
Charles e. Pugh, second vice president,
and Samuel Rea, fourth vice president.
No time is to be lost in getting the
work under way. Thorough investi-
cation of various systems of electric
propulsion will be made, and the opera
ating problems presented by the two
lines carefully studied preliminary to
the adoption of working plans. So far
it has not been decided which line will
be electrically equipped, but it is pro-
bable that the old West Jersey route
will be selected, running via Wood
bury, Glassboro and Newield.

THE FIRE INSURANCE TRUST

While President Roosevelt is having
this and that trust investigated it might
not be amiss to inquire if the fire insur-
ance companies combination is not
both illegal and a serious menace to the
purses of the people of the country.
A few years since what is known as
the Underwriters Association succeed
ed in bringing into the combination
practically every fire insurance COM
pany of standing in the United States.
The object point was to classify and
make uniform rates and incidentally
to stifle competition and raise rates to
the insured.
The classifying of various risks was
an all right step but the shutting out
of competition as the combine has done,
was exactly i'll line with the beef pack
ers' combine and the refrigerator cal
trust.
A local insurance agent must send
every policy he writes to an agent of
the combined companies who must
first approve or disapprove it before it
is sent to the company issuing the pol
icy. If there is any cutting of rates or
any other irregularity it will be re-
turned to the agent. In this way each
company is protected against would be
competitors. Rates are fixed for vari-
GUS properties by a committee, printed
in book form, and a copy furnished
agents of each company in the combi-
nation, and.all are bound under PEN
atty to stand by the rates which are
arbitrarily fixed.

The Squeezing Insurance Trust

Editor Foster, of the Elmer Times,
wants the government 10 get after the
fire insurance trust. He is right. There
isn't an industry that much
cloeer to the people than that of insur-
ance. Safety of property makes insur-
ance Indispensable, and as the combine
of the companies has practically driven
out competition, the people are at the
mercy of the insurance trust and are
being squeezed as the latter sees fit and
with no remedy in sight.-Glassboro
Enterprise.
