Abuse Of TaxIng system.

OF the many abuses Of our taxing sys-
tenn / cite one illustration. In order to
escape part of the county tax some tax
ing districts have resorted to low valua-
tions and have released from taxation all
most all personal property. Under such
condition some counties are bearing an
undue share of the tax burden as COM
pared with others The people of New
Jersey are raising every year for school
purposes under the agency of the state
about $l,SS6,00O The amount that is TO be
raised by each county is determined by
the proportion its taxable property bears
to the taxable property of the state
These counties, therefore, which reduce
taxation altogether do not bear their fair
cient answer to say that 50 per cent of the
sum thus raised is returned to the county
that raises It, bocS Sc 70 per cent OF tbs
Rrnount Is put into the common fund for
distribution at the discretion Of the state
board to such counties as need assistance
in the support Of their schools. Unless.
therefore, the property valuations through
out the state preserve some degree Of
uniformity the several counties are CON
tributing unequally to this common fund
for the support Of our schools. The REM
edy for this evil would seem TO be the re-
organization Of the state board Of taxa
tion with greater power or, better per-
haps, the creation OF a state tax court
that would sit as court Of appeal in
these matters with equitable powers to
remedy Inequality IN valuation and equal
lze the same not only In the case of indl-

A Large Audience Witnesses The
Three Plays . at the Lyeeum.
Those who attended the amateur
theauricals at the Lyceum last Friday
evening enjoyed treat. Much was
expected of Mr. Wendell and his as
sociate players and they all measured
fully up to the expectations.
Three comedies were given. "a
Game OF Cards" 'Colonel Carteret,
n. G." and I" Withered Leaves, the
several parts being taken by Meesrs.
Eyart Jansen Wendell, George X.
Denney, Walker Marcus Dennett.
John Thompson Conover, Jacob Wen
dell, Jr., and the Misses Antinette Err
hardt, Mildred Eytinge aud Marie
Huntington.
Music was furnished by Voss.
The players have been invited to
visit Morristown again in the spring
and all those privileged to see them
Friday evening hope that they may
find it possible to come again.
Mr.. Wendell and associates gave
their services for the benefit of the
cause, and expenses were light, so that
nearly all the money paid for seats
was applied to the fund for building a
new exit.
In preparation for the event num-
Der of improvements were made. The
walls of audience room and halls
had been cleaned, and kalsomined in a
terra Gotta shade. The walls of the
four boxes have been re-papered with
new light paper, the floor has been
scrubbed and all the oil removed. The
dressing rooms have been gone over,
plumbing reset and generally repaired.
Strips Of carpet on the aisles added
to the attractiveness of the hall.
