STEFFENS AND THE McCARTERS

Lincoln cteAens, exp0sef OF gIdIb bAfough
his magazine writings, has stirred up q
tempest in New Jersey, and already the de-
mand has gone forth that there be an in
vestigation into the charges made BY him
in an article in the January number Of Mo
Cures.
Mark M. Pagan, Mayor of Jersey City,
and opponent Of bossism, is the hero Of Mr..
Steffens "a Servant Of God and Of the
People, It may be that there is nothing
new in Mr.. Steffens' writings about the
way things are done in this State new"
in the sense that the stories which he COM
piles have been current gossip since the
time Of their occurrance-but Mr.. Steffens
prints them because they have heretofore
been unpublished.
The people have heard off and on that
the Public Service Corporation and allied
financial interests are their rulers. They
are aware that efforts have been made TO
pass through two Legislatures measures
that would permit Jersey City to begin
custer proceedings against the Public Ser
vice Corporation, certain franchises that
company holds in Jersey City having ex-
PRED by limitation.
The people of New jersey have been
aware for several years that Robert H. Nc
Carter was Attorney General Of this State.
and that his brother, Thomas N. McCarter,
was president Of the Public Service Corpor-
alton. They have likewise been aware that
Attorney General McCarter has refused to
permit Jersey City to take the action 1t de-
sires against the corporation Of which his
brother, Thomas is head, but that little
alleged threat at Sherry's, which Mr..
Staffens declares Thomas McCarter made to
Mayor Pagan and the others present, when
the latter declined to commit Jersey City
to an acquiesence in the Public Service Cor
poration's illegal retention of that city's
streets, is new:
ITO all Of you, | say, you can't bring
your suit without the consent OF the At
torney General and the Attorney General
~ III bAu1ntI.
Mr.. Steffens may have been misinformed
regarding the threat, but during the late
campaign George L. Record, corporation
counsel of Jersey City, told night after
night of his attempt to get the case into
court, and the attitude Of the Attorney
General in refusing to allow the case to be
heard. Fagan's opponents denied the
charges through Jersey City paper.
Saturday night, when steffens' article
was brought to the notice of Mr.. Record,
he said that every word printed in the mag
azine was true, and that he could, if called
upon, produce affidavits Of four men who
were present at the meeting in Sherry
Mayor Pagan said that he did not wish to
discuss the article, but that every word Of
it was true.
Whether true or false, the Legislature
owes it to the people Of New jersey to dis
cover whether the blood relationship exist
ing between the Attorney General and the
president of the Public Service Corporation
had any weight in the Attorney Generals
consideration of the case in question.
The Legislature owes it to the people Of
New Jersey to prove or disprove Mr..
Steffens' assertions TTrue American

When our esteemed contemporary. the
Gloucester County Democrat, takes 1t upon
itself tc question the honesty of the pro-
LESSONS Of what it is pleased to term the
majority faction of the Republican party
one does not need a magnifyinp
glass to see the partisan animus of its COM
ments =
Thus speaks the Camden Post Telegram
IN its issue of Saturday. Are we to under
stand that it is the P. rs. opinion that the
majority faction of the Republican party has
legislated honestly on the subject Of
equality of taxation between the people and
corporations ? II SO, why is equal taxation
yet the leading political issue in this State -?
Why was it that the leaders Of the majority
faction opposed the nomination and cleo
ton Of Colby in Essex and Pagan in Hud-
son Why was it that the Colby Assem-
blymeH -ef1sed to be bound by the Assem-
'sfy caucus. and Colby likewise refused to
be bound by the Senate caucus !? If the ma
jority faction has legislated honestly on the
subject why is it that the s., DOC, 900 of rail-
road main stem in this county is yet
taxed at the rate of SIS a thousand and
the $4,000, 900 of private property here
pays at from SIS to s22 per $1,000?
If the people and this paper are not
justified in questioning the honesty of the
professions Of the majority faction Of the
Republican party, it is very queer to US.
Why, even Mr.. Colby and nineteen Assem-
blymen openly questioned the honesty Of
the majority, and refuse to be bound by
their acts
It occurs to us that our little State, in
the matter Of finance, may be likened to
the Russian monarchy. The Gar is roll
ing in wealth and gIorying in his power,
while the people, at best, are deprived of
the necessities Of life.
We doubt if there is county in the
State that has not already expended the
major portion Of their share of the taxes
that were collected on the Goth instant.
Likewise our cities have for months met
their bills by borrowing money in anticipa-
tion Of taxes, and the tax rates all along
the line are about at the limit to which
they can be raised and tax values are about
to the leYel of actual value
At the same time our State treasury is
bursting with gold. There is no State
debt, no need for these millions in the
State Treasury except to satisfy the ambi-
tion Of our rulers 1.-THE majority Republican
faction to revel in big salaries, and con-
duct a Czar-Iike State government.
The Post Telegram is right, che GLou-
cEsrER COUNTY DEMOCRAT does question
the honesty Of the professions Of the ma
iority Republican faction on this subject,
and it has distinguished company.
