Taxation

1t is somewhat surprising, but none
the less displeasing to see even all the
Republican members of the Salem
County Board of Assessors becoming
democratic in the matter of taxing
special privileged corporations. If the
exemptions were granted which are
claimed under the new law, little or no
tax would be paid on some stocks.
Still, the fact that some own stock
and bonds in corporations whose prop
critics are taxes where located, is wor-
thy of consideration and adjustment.
Yet, when we see men die worth hun
dreds OF thousands, yes millions, who
have paid little or no taxes, it makes
common people think that they should
be made to pay a share in the expenses
OF the government according to their
ability and benefits of protection receiv-
ed. How shall it be done? If resi-
dent of Great Britain owns stocks and
bonds of corporations in America the
British Government makes him pay an
income tax on his income from Amer
lea. Why should not the U. S. Gov
eminent make a resident pay the same
in this country?
The l%eavenin the Democratic princi-
pies enunciated 1896 are still working,
and even Republican assessors in Sa-
lem county are beginning to see the
light.

AS To An ASYLUM

The reports in the daily papers that
Salem county was caring for the few
insane persons in the almshouse in not
a sanitary and humane manner con-
tanned more sensation than matter of
facts. While there are three or four
persons who are confined to cells, yet
their condition is such that they would
not take exercise if they were given a
large hall to be in. 1t has not been
shown that it would be more economic
al to build a larger asylum to accom-
modate all the county's insane now in
the State Hospital, and some question
whether the unfortunates cannot be
better cared for where greater facilities
are given than in a small County insti-
tuition.
The County Board of Freeholders
has acted wisely in calling in Rev. G..
b. White, the State Commissioner of
Charities for consultation and advice.

In another column we publish a dis
patch from Panama to the Philadelphia
Record, confirming the statement of
our correspondent concerning the yell
low fever along the Panama Canal. In
a recent address President Roosevelt
compared those who flee from yellow
jack to those who u to the real in
battle-cowards. He said: "The peo-
pie to whom this country yves and will
owe 81 much are those who stay down
there and do not talk, but do their work
WE'LL" Those who get yellow fever
will stay there and will not talk. Their
work has been done-well, how good
God only knows. 1t has been said that
there is a dead man under every tie of
the Panama Railroad. When Presi-
dent Roosevelt gets out ofthe Presiden-
cy we would suggest that he be sent
to Panama to build the big ditch. If
he stays there all the time it will take
the rest of his life and to him ''this
country will owe mnch."

For Assembly Districts

When counties were divided into as
sembly districts the men selected as
candidates had to stand we'll where
they were known in their own neigh
borhood. They made a canvass that
let every voter see and hear them, and
they knew the wants of their districts
and had a personal interest in them.
AS it is now, the nominations are made
in bulk at a single convention, without
regard to a fitness of the candidates.
They are voted form block as
a matter of party usage. The names
make up the party ticket, and that is
all there is of an assembly canvass. The
result is unsatisfactory, and the i'm
portance of the Office is lost sight of.
The next legislature should
pass a resolution favOring a constitu-
tional amendment providing for dis
trict representation and leave it as a
legacy to the succeeding legislature. Nc
man should be elected to the assembly
who does not favor this meritorious
proposition-Jersey City Journal.

Swimming Titie.
The river callsl the river callsl

The river callsl the river callsl
The urchin, freed from school:
Forsakes the place of learning's halls
And seeks the dusky pool,
Where far beneath the sunfish lies
In waters calm and clear.
Der which proclaim the dragon flies
That swimming time is here.
The river callsl the river calls!
The lawyer in the town
Forgers the client for whom he bawls,
The woolsack and the gown;
The merchant lays ledgers by,
And lends a willing ear
To all the unseen sprites hat cry
That swimming time is here.
The river calls! the river calls!
The careworn millionaire
Observes his mansions lofty walls
Dissolve beneath his stare,
Whilst visions come of boyhood days
The mill race and the weir
With summer calling thro' the haze
That swimming time is here.

The fountain of perpetual youth has
been found in Philadelphia. A woman
in Philadelphia who declares that her
husband died eleven years ago has
learned that he has been voting ever
since. Voters never die in Philadel-
phia provided they vote right-at all
times to save the high tariff and sound
money. When he does not vote right,
his name is voted and when he attempts
to vote himself he is threatened ON the
charge of attempting to vote twice. 1t
has been declared that 10000 bogus
names are on Philadelphia's registry
list which is being revised under Mayor
Weavor's reform movement.

FEVER PANIC ON ISTHMUS.
Americans Fleeing in Terror From
Yellow Jack and Plague
Special to 1.-The Record

Yellow Jack and Plague
Special to 1.-THE Record"
New York, June 30-The steamer Sc
guranca, which arrived here to-day,
brought 149 passengers who fled from the
Isthmus to escape yellow fever and bu-
bonic plague. This was her full passen-
ger quota. Scores who clamored for pas
sage back to the States were turned away
at Colon.
Those who came brought CHASTITY tales
OF the conditions existing along the line
OF the canal, stories of plague and sudden
death, of almost criminal negligence in
caring for the employees in the great work,
charges of all sorts against the officials in
charge, histories of favoritism, black
listing, filth and hunger.
There was one body aboard, that of S.
B. Davis, formerly of the New York pol
ice force, who went to Panama to take
charge of the Panama police, and who
died of yellow fever. The widow brought
the body back.
Three persons were taken off at Quar-
a%ntine, two as yellow fever suspects.
Reports, official from Washington,
have given supposedly accurate accounts
OF the yellow fever-one or two cases a
day. Employees direct from the scene
say that these reports are very mild and
innocuous when compared with the true
state of affairs.

In commenting on the recent Demo-
cratic state convention in Ohio the
Cincinnati Enquirer, stated that there
were numbers of democrats there who
voted for Mckinley and efforts were
made to re-unite the party. When the
name Of VIM. J. Bryan was mentioned
during the speaking such a wave of
enthusiasm rolled over the convention
that the rafters shook. The Enquirer
remarked that one will have to die to
forget the campaign of 1896.

If those hardy pioneers who crossed
Kansas, southern Colorado and New Mex
leo the old Santa Fe trail in prairie
schooner, drawn by double tandem team
of plodding steers, could travel again the
road they then tediously followed-what a
change would they see!
The entire main line of the Santa Fe
system from Chicago to California now
has no steel rails of lighter weight than Is
pounds, and much of it is IS pounds. New
steel will be laid this year on 300 miles of
the Santa Fe proper.
Practically every mile of the, road east
of middle Arizona is rock ballasted and
hundreds of miles in western Arizona
and California are sprinkled with crude
oil to prevent dust.
BY the end of 1905 there will be approx
imately 300 miles of main line double track
in operation.
Millions of dollars have been invested in
new track and new equipment. More
grades are being cut down, more curves
Strengthened out and flood ravages in
Mora and Truxton canyons repaired by
putting the track above freshet line.

"entente cordiale" among the en-
ployes and a closer afiliation with the
corporate interests of the railroad
One of the things which it is expected
to accomplish is the elimination of
strikes. The idea is to sell to every
employee a parcel of five or ten acres
of land tributary to the railroad at a
fair value to be paid for in ten years
at low rate of interest. If the en-
ploye dies. or IS killed in accident
while in service of the company, the
land is to be decided free to his wife
or family without further obligation
on their part. Should an employee
discontinue his service from any cause
whatever before the completion of his
contract all the money paid in by him
will be returned with interest.
