FRIDAY. APRIL 2s.
Force DeIinquents to Pay.

City Collector Crowell and Consta-
BILE Brown are doing a good work
among the tax delinquents who have
neglected to do their duty as an
American citizen. These shirkers en-
Joy fire and police protection and are
1the first to find fault with the city, but
They want the other fellow to pay for
it(all. When the tax bill comes, ask
ing for a few dollars for personal tax
or one dollar for the privilege of yot-
ing and taking part in a free govern
ment, they refuse to pay. The law
should be carried out to the letter re-
garding such people.
In commenting on this subject the
Jersey City Journal points out the eX-
act truth OF the matter in the follow
ing paragraph:
"The dodgers impose on the good
citizens who pay promptly, and make
them pay more. Every dollar included
in the tax levy is appropriated and
spent. II the taxes are not paid the
deficiency must be made good by Dor
rowed money. These loans go into
the next tax levy, with interest, and
thus increase the taxes which good
citizens must pay"
If every citizen contributed his Just
share toward the support of the NUM-
cipality the Board of Aldermen would
not have ST much difficulty fixing the
city budget, we would have an indus
trial training course in our public
schools and our police department
would not be in such an Anticipated
condition.
We cannot live without government
and the government must be main
tanned. The only fair way to do this
is for each citizen to contribute his
just share toward its support. Those
who object to this are not worthy of
=,
American citizenship. No %considera-
ton should be given them and they
should be prosecuted.
Collector Crowell and Constable
Brown deserve encouragement. They
are working in tine interest of
the taxpayers and for the advance
ment Of Perth Amboy.

they reason like the old man who said
that it would not paw for him TO get

the determining factor in the birds

therefore, that there is a migrating

We have not received any book re-

as we drew nearer 1t seemed to be

1t seemed as though our hearts ceased
beating, and our hair stood straight oh
our heads. We made motions at 1t and
II would mock everything we did. But
the only thing we could do was to
pass 1T. and when We got to where
We thought it was standing it had van
ished and we did not see 1t for few
minutes. 1t seemed to reappear and
was walkir-' at our side. We thought
our time Lad come. We started out
running and ran about q quarter of a
mile. We looked back and the ghost
had disappeared and by that time we
We're near our home, and in few mo-
