THE investigation of the large in
surance companies discloses methods
that astonish even the professors OF
" advanced financiering." These are
indications, however. that stringent
laws will be enacted to prevent the
Juggling of the policy-holders money
in the future, and suits win be brought
to compel the restitution of much of
the money so literally discussed. In
connection with this matter it is
gratifying to known that all insurance
tlnanciering is not Of this order. Col
Il, L. Dobbins informs us that in his
company, the N. j. Mutual Life, all
the members of the Board of Direct
ors meet to act upon Investments
and If one member of the Board OBJ
jects to a security offered it is thrown
out. This company had a representa-
Itive before the New York commission
but as nothing sensational was deVel
oped no attention was paid to the
matter by newspapers.

| Sussex and Hunterdon Counties,
both rural, show afalling Off in popu-
Eation since 1900. In Sussex the de-
crease is 800, or 3.3 per cent, and in
Hunterdon it is ], 249, at the same per
centage of loss. Sussex has remained
stationary in population for one hun
dred and five years. In 1900 the coun-
ty's population was %, 534, or just 81
less than the State census this year
shows. There have been ups and
downs during the long period since
1900. In the census of 1920 the popu-
lation was shown to be 32,752, the
highest in the history of Sussex. In
fhe next decade the county lost
hearty ten Thousand population, and
the census figures subsequently have
alternated between about $4,000 and
p, 900. Sussex County was created in
1853, and embraced the present War
rem County which was set off from it
in 1924.
Hunterdon County was created in
1918, and Morris County was set off
from it in 1913. In 1900 it contained
q ,26l inhabitants. By 1865 the popu-
lation increased to 4O,75S, and there
after it declined. This years census

from the habit of taking his early

THE Republicans Of Morris county
in convention assembled have again
put themselves on record as being a
progressive party ready to take up new
Issues as they present themselves and
carry them out to their logical conclu-
sions. They heartily endorse the ma
tional and state administrations, favor
equal taxation and pledge the candi-.
dates to support proper measures look
ing to that end The Morris Canal
question has, in the minds of most
men, clarified itself so that the con-
sensus of opinion is that the commits
sionsof three able men which reported
to the last Legislature was about right
in the conclusions presented, and now
the problem is how to carry out the
recommendation for the abandonment
Of the canal as a water way in such
manner as to conserve all interests.
Norris county has important interests
at stake and our representatives in the
coming Legislature will be guided by
the wishes Of their constituents and
see that she receives fair treatment.
The limited franchise question is a
pertinent one and the platform de-
clares for it as well as giving to the
people interested voice in the mat
ter. The Hillery tax act is a step in
the right direction and will lead to
economy in public expenditures, and
the people of thiscounty naturally feel
proud that our able Senator's name is
connected with it, The recommends
tion for economy in county affairs is
timely. 1t is so easy to increase
appropriations that our freeholders
should be informed in unmistakable
terms that the people want full value
for money raised by taxation and nc
unnecessary or extravaganza .expendi-
lures. And then to see that theil
wishes are carried out the Republicans
have placed in nomination practlca
business men of well-known integrity
and knowledge of affairs for the pnbliC
offices to be filed, and with such {
combination there is no shadow Q
doubt but that the people of thu
county will show their appreciation o
what has been done by rolling up
rousing majority in November
