Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1905-10-05

Quoting the following plank from the
Gloucester County Democratic platform,
the Trenton True American makes the fol-
lowing COMMENT:
aThe expenditure of over 81, 900, 600 per
year by the State sets demoralizing ex-
ample to Chosen Freeholders and municipal
Dodies throughout the State. State expen-
ditures have more than doubled in ten
years and our county expenditures have
advanced at the same ratio. We demand
retrenchment in state, county and town
ship, and pledge all Democratic nominees
to honest, economical public service.
Democratic Platform.
The recklessness TO which the Republican
State machine has been led by the vast
sums which our corporation laws have
brought to the State treasury has been
followed by increased expenditures and in
creased tax rates all over the State. And
the people all over the State are thoroughly
tired Of it. The cry for economy is not
new. The Republican machine has heard
it, and taken il up, seeking to ward of the
blow the people have prepared for. it,
1t is to be hoped that this fall when the
issues all over the State concern only the
people as citizens Of New Jersey, Of the
counties and municipalities that the people
in every section Of the State will arise in
their might and cast out of office those
faithless stewards, who have wasted their
substance Now is the time.

WHAT THE G. i. p. HAS DONE.

When the Democrats 60 before the people
this fall requesting that control of the leg
islature be turned over to them what argu-
ment will they present TO CONVINCE the
voters that the states interest will be better
served by such change? II they shall
make the main issue on equal taxation and
the Limitation of franchises, as seems likely,
the Republican party can point to what it
has already done on these lines Camden
Post Telegram.
Let's see what the Republican patty has
done on these lines.
At the last session Of the Legislature a
bill was introduced and passed by the Re-
publican majority transferring from the
list Of State ratables to the taxing districts
lists the second class railroad property.
Under the old law the State collected 81 so
per $1,000 on the assessed valuation OF this
property and turned it over to the taxing
districts in which the property is situate.
Under the Dufield law this second class
railroad property is taxed by the munich
palities at the taxing rate of the district in
which it is located This rate varies from
81 per 500 to nearly SO per $1,000, and the
average is 1920.
Had the Republican majority in the Leg
islature stopped here the Post-1elegram
might we'll point with pride to something
done for the people. But the railroads
could not permit themselves to be soaked,
without some redress. "A difference of 10
cents on the 800, cuts down profits little
on an assessment Of S43, 000, 600 for second
class property; it increases tax bills about
$500, 600 annually.
But Governor Stokes had a card up his
sleeve. Calling attention TO the high tax
rates prevalent in so many municipalities,
he made a recommendation that something
be done for the taxpayers. 2 There
ought, " he urged, ''be a limit to the tax
that municipal authorities shall levy So
while the people were rejoicing that the
principle of equal taxation had been recog-
nized, the Republican Legislature passed
the Hillery law to prevent municipal
governing bodies from leYying higher tax
rate than $3.50, except in first-class cities,
where $40 is the limit.
The Hillery law goes into effect next
year. Nearly all the larger municipalities
will haye to increase the assessments on
private property from so to 100 per cent. to
keep within the limit. Some Of these
cities and towns will have to assess private
property at more than the property would
bring at fair sale But the railroad
assessments will not be increased. They
are made BY the State Board of Assessors
Under the Hillery law the poor mans tax
will 60 up; the railroads will save the
$500, 900 the Dufield bill gorged from their
pockets.
This is what the Republican party has
already done on these lines

Il proof were wanting that the new
Primary Election law was designed by
political bosses as an instrument by and
through which they could control political

tanned by citizens Of Greenwich township,

through decision by Supreme Court judi
ges Garrison and Garretson delivered last
week THAT the Primary Election law
contains no provision for recount OF
ballots cast, and that the sections Of the

From the tone assumed by the Constitas-
taon, thoughtful reader might get the idea
that Mr.. FerrelI did not aid the passage of
Fish or Agricultural bills in the Senate, or
perform any public service, bnt it will be a
vain effort to make people believe that the
man whose Legislative activities in the past
have been boon to a generation Of his
craftsmen, whose constructive ideas live to-
day in forceful Federal statutes, and who is
yet an active progressive citizen of his home
town and county, is deadhead in the
legislative halls Of his State.

credited all over this State. In Hudson the

for Senator, having defeated the Organ
ization in the primaries, has repudiated the
party Boss, and will not permit him to
manage his campaign; in Camden the
Voters League and Democrats have perfected
a fusion on County and City candidates, and
are fighting the machine to purify the
ballot and secure honest elections Corrupt
political Organizations are doomed.

Naval officers, it is said, are not at all
pleased over the advent of the battleship
Mississippi, which was launched at the
Cranlp Ship Yards at Philadelphia, on Sat-
urday It appears that they regard the
Mississippi, along with her sister ship, the
Idaho, as out Of place in the thew Ameri-
can navy" because both of these vessels are
of only 1000 tons, while the eleven other
battleships now being built at various yards
are all Of 4, JAS tons or 49, 900 tons. The
estimated speed Of the Mississippi is seven
teen knots, or two knot slower than her
contemporaries now building, the Virginia
the Nebraska, the Georgia, the New Jersey
and she Rhode Island, are one knot slower
than the new ships, the Connecticut, the
Louisiana, the Vermont, the Kansas, the
Minnesota and the New Hampshire These
features, say naval officers, will make the
Mississippi almost obsolete before the first
coat Of paint has dried upon her. and pre-
vent her taking the rank in the new
navy shat she is entitled to by reason OF
her date OF construction. She is regarded
as monument to the folly OF Congress in
designing ships against expert advice

Undeniably public sentiment in this
county is opposed to the Primary Election
law and the Election Merger law. More
than one-half the Republicans are opposed
to them and practically all the Democrats
would wipe them off the statutes books il
they could. They are recognized as acts
that to state II mildly, are not calculated
to yield good government Under them
the Organization is the government. By
the same methods that nominations for
county offices are dictated, Chosen Free
holders, Councilmen, and Township COM
mittees are named. Under them govern
ment of the people and by the people does
not exist in Gloucester county. Govern
ment Of the boss and by the Organization
has taken the place of our boosted Demo-
Cratic Republican system.
A few years ago corporations were con-
tent to control the State Legislature, now
they must control that and City Councils
and township committees, too, and under
this new system Of Merger laws and Pri-
mary Elections the same dollars that nomi-
nate State Lawmakers may nominate fran
chise grantors in city and township.
We find in two wards OF Woodbury. that
were carried in the Primary by the Organ
ization, that members of Council who
voted for short time franchises and who
were seeking denomination, were defeated
by candidates on the Organization ticket.
The corporation dollars elected delegates
who favored the corporations candidate for
Senator, and candidate for Council who
in Council had opposed perpetual franchise
grants, were defeated In the First Ward,
where Gaunt delegates were elected, the
candidate for Council who was defeated had
record in Council as favoring perpetual
franchise
We refer to these matters of local govern
mental history as examples Of the fact
that people whose business it is to exploit
governments are reaching down into and
corrupting branches Of government that
were pure before these new laws were placed
on the statute books. When before was
money used in Woodbury. to nominate
candidates for City Council
Thomas NJ. Terrell and VIM. c. Allen
are pledged to repeal these laws.
