Dangerous Flowers

1t is claimed that the tulip is dams
gerous flower. Take tulip of deep
crimson color and inhale 1t with pro-
found inspirations and it will be apt
to make you lightheaded. You will
say and do queer things-dance, sing,
fight, swear and so on. For two hours
you will cut up in this way. After
ward you will be depressed.
The poppy is another flower sup
posed to be dangerous. A young wom-
an of a nervous temperament, if she
fingers among a bed Of poppies, will
grow drowsy, the same as If she should
have smoked a pipe or two of opium.
In Asia Minor. where the opium manu-
facturers cultivate vast fields of pop
pies. tourists inspecting the beautiful
flowers often become altogether in
capacitated. They get so sleepy they
can hardly talk. They reel in their
gait. In some cases they have to ba
put to bed.-Kansas City Star.

THE large cities of the State claim
to be embarrassed by the bill limiting
the tax rates, and in Jersey City they
claim that the bill was not properly
passed. Newark officials also claim
that they cannot raise sufficient tax
for municipal purposes. The "Sun-
day Oail;1 however, suggests remedy
in an article on the subject; The real
fight for equality in taxation has thus
begun, and in that aspect the Hillery
maximum tax rate bill may prove of
some practical benefit. 1t limits the
tax rate to S1.70, except where there
is vote Of the people for an increase
IA most improbable occurance. The
object Of the tax limit was to promote
equalization, and it was necessary If
all property was to be taxed on the
same basis. AS the railroads will re-
ceive special exemptions, the tax limit
may seem unwise, but on the other
hand it will urge the taxing officers to
demanding that the exemptions shall
be removed, and 50 it may pave the
way to the object for which we have
all struggled these last six months.

some Uses for Talk.

There is likely to be tremendous
increase in the amount OF talk used
in Morris county hereafter. The farm
ers telephone lines run out by the New
York and New Jersey Telephone Co.,
open up a means of Communication
which is sure TO be taken advantage
Of. To be able to call up neighb0r)
on stormy day and ask about treat
ment for rheumatism, grip or anya0f
the Thousand ills, is a great comfort.
Mrs. A. wants TO make particular
kind of cake, but has forgotten the re-
cipe: she knows Mrs. b. has the recipe.
but Mrs. B. lives three miles away.
"Ah, the telephone" She calls up
Mrs. B., gets the recipe, and makes
the cake in time for supper. Mr.. Al.
enjoys it, praises his wife and every
body is happier because of the tele-
phone Then In the long evenings how
cheering TO be able to call up neigh
bOrS near or far and have short chat,
to hear their news and tell them yours
Again the more serious matters of life
the ready means Of calling for help is
vital In its value. The troublesome
tramp is no longer menace to the
lone housewife. In case OF sudden
illness you haA only to reach the tele-
phone to insure some one coming to
your assistance. Surely the rural
dwellers Of Morris county have reason
to be congratulated upon being brought
in such close touch with each other
and being supplied with the means Of
talking to the towns and cities near
and distant If they SO desire.

CONSIDERABLE Of tempest in a
teapot was the investigation of the So
called charges Of bribery in the Assem-
bly, last week. There is good reason
to believe that some of.the legislators
connected with and responsible were
glad Of the excuse to make great ado
over the rumors of bribery in order to
have a pretext for dropping an UNI
popular and vicious bill. There was
never bill defeated in the legislature
or an election lost but what the losers
try to counterfeit the effect Of the loss
by crying fraud and corruption. 1t
has been the balm to the wounded
feelings Of the men who fail in the
state capital for years, and undoubt-
eddy will be until the end of time. So
far as appears no one was offered
money for his vote, but doubtless
other Influences were brought to bear,
and for ambitious young lawyers in
the Legislature there must be always
a temptation to range themselves on
the side of the corporations when they
see how almost universally the corpor-
alton lawyers are the ones that secure
the profitable offices.

STILL rHERE IS ROOM.

T.
Saturday evening between eight and
nine O'Clock there were by actual
count over one hundred men and boys
standing directly in front of the bust
ness places from High to Market
streets, while considerable more than
that number were on the sidewalk and
curb. While the fellows in front of
the stores shut out the windows those
on the sidewalk interfered with travel
very seriously. They were so firmly
rooted in their positions that they
would not move out of their tracks for
women. baby carriages or policemen
all had to walk around them. There
is still standing room.

Attention is called in the letter to
the farmers of New Jersey to the in
crease In the county taxes Investi-
cation shows the following facts: in
1905 there was raised for county pur-
poses, s264,S0 in 1900, s2l6,60O; in
1890, S13O, 600; in 1880, $4,000 In
twenty years the county expenses
have almost tripled, while the popu-
lation increased but twenty seven per
cent.
A comparison Of the details of 1880
with 1900 shows that the incidental
and superintendent of schools accounts
were the same in both reports, the
surplus revenue fund decreased from
81, 200 to $4,000; bridges increased from
$4,000 to $4,000; freeholders and Off
GERS from 81, 200 to $4,000; interest
and discounts from 81 800 to $4,000;
court expenses from $4,000 to s2S 900;
advertising and printing from 81, 400
to $500; coroners and poStmortons
from $3.50 to 81, 200; court house and
Jail from $1,000 to $4,000 for current
expenses; elections from $1,000 to
$4,000; county poor house and child

from $1,000 to $4,000; lunacy from.

THE MAx1MuM TAX RATE IDEA.

Senator Hillery's maximum tax rate
bill which passed both branches Of the
legislature, will undoubtedly receive
the approval of Governor Stokes
whose ideas are embodied in the meas
ure.
The main purpose of the bill, as we
understand it, is to induce assessors
to fix valuation upon all taxable
property.
Ihls we know, has not been done in
the past and the fact that a vast
amount of personal property has es-
capped taxation is responsible for the
high tax rates that exist in many of
our municipalities.
The law would operate fairly to all
property owners and the condition
now existing under which one man
pays tax upon all his property at a
liberal valuation while another is
taxed for only a portion of his hold
ings would be changed, and it ought
to be.
In speaking for the bill Senator
Hillery said the. idea had been acted
upon in Massachusetts,, Illinois and
other states with satisfactory results
and that New Jersey could afford to
try the experiment.. If, after a fair
test, the scheme is found to be unsat-
isfactory to the people, it can be easily
abandoned by repeating the law.
The maximum tax rate in cities of
over fifty Thousand population, will be
one dollar and seventy cents for each
one hundred dollars assessed yalua-
ton State Gazette.
Senator Hillery's bill was passed
in the House after heated discussion,
in which Speaker Avis surrendered
the gavel and spoke IN favor of the
measure. Democratic Leader Hamill
bitterly attacked the bill and won one
or two Republican votes The maxi
mum tax rate under this bill is $l.70|
in cities of $4,000 and more population
and $3.50 in cities of less than $4,000
exclusive of the State
school tax, usually about seventeen
cents. The limiting of tax rates was
urged by Governor Stokes in his in
augural address. The House amended
the measure to permit municipalities
to fix tax rate above the limited if |
the voters so decide at an election.
The amendment was agreed to by the
Senate and passed.
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1905-04-04

SENATOR HILLERY scored a victory
in the Senate on Tuesday morning in
securing the passage Of his bill limit
ing the tax rates in municipalities,
after lively discussion in which he
was opposed by the best debaters in
the Senate Bachelor, Minturn and
Wakelee. Senator Hillery was, how
ever. able to meet them ON every
point, and the bill was passed by a
vote of eleven to eight. 1t fixes the
maximum tax rate in cities of more
than $4,000 population at one and
seven-tenths per cent, or Sl.7O hun
bred, and in cities of less than $4,000
population at one and one-haIf per
cent. or $3.50 a hundred. 1t limits
the county tax rate to one-half Of one
per cent. or so cents a hundred. The
act does not include state school taxes
or any sinking fund or bond account.
When the bill came up Mr.. Hillery ex-
planned that it was in accordance with
the Governors message TO the Legis-
lature, and would give relief to the
tax payers. The bill was opposed on
the ground that it would not permit
some municipalities to raise sufficient
money for local purposes. Mr.. Hillery
demonstrated the fact that if the
valuations were made as they should
be the bill would allow q rate of taxa
zion as high as any property could
stand. In the course of his remarks
he said the bill was in the interest of
the people who were the tax payers
and was opposed by the politicians
who were the tax spenderS This
aroused the ire of several of the Sena-
tors who replied with considerable
warmth, but Mr.. Hillery was able to
meet all onslaughts and defended his
position in a most ablemanner. After
the vote was taken Mr.. HilleTy re-
ceiyed many congratulations on the
outcome of his first BATTLE in the Sem
ate. The opinion was generally ex-
pressed that as a resourceful and forci-
BILE debater he was the peer of any
man In the Senate.
