John Persons Relatives Found.

We recently published letter received
BY Sheriff Dilts ipquiring as to relatives Of
John Pierson, an itinerant umbrella-men-
der, who recently died in Virginia. It has
now been discovered that the John Pierson
mentioned has two brothers residing in
Dover, Robert and Stephen Pierson, be-
tween sixty and seventy years Of age, and
TO them viii go the neat fortune Of some
SIC, 900 or $11, 200 accumulated by the
wanderer. The relationship Of the family
was traced through Mrs Mary Travis, Of
Scranton, who know the Persons forty
years ago. The Pierson brothers are en-
gagged upon the canal, and had for many
years regarded their brother John as dead

At Monday nights session Of the Senate
Mr.. Avis introduced bill No. Al that pro-
vides for county boards of equalization of
taxes. Each board is to be composed Of
three members appointed by the governor
with the consent of the senate Not more
than two are to be of the same political
party; appointments to be for three years.
The salaries are to run as follows: In coun-
ties of the first class, 81, 500; in counties Of
the Second class, 81, 200; in counties Of the
third, 81. 900; in counties Of the fourth,
$500. The objects Of the board shall be to
procure the taxation of all property at its
true value and to equalize the value Of all
property. The county board shall have
control Of all the assessors within the
county, with right TO dismiss for failure TO
comply with the constitution and laws Of
the state relative to the assessment Of taxes.
This act is undoubtedly the outcome Of a
suggestion made by Major Lentz, Of Essex,
chairman Of the State Board Of the same
title. It seems to us it's title should
be "a bill to create sixty-three new Off
ces and absorb increases IN taxation y The
fact that these officials are to be appoint
ed by the Governor must be Questionable to
people who feel they are yet competent to
govern themselves Why trust the people
to elect their sheriffs, surrogates and county
clerks and not assessors.
To our mind this proposition is about
the limit Of arbitrary governments. These
goyernor-made officials are to be clothed
with authority to remove from office Off
cials chosen by the people,a proposition that
KingiGeorge might have conceived in ITS,
but at no period since, until now, could it
have received serious consideration, espe-
cially from representatives Of free people.
The chances are that within a year after.
the Governors assessors take hold, not a
single assessor chosen by the people will
be in Office. The program that our pres
ent state rulers have mapped out is COM
prehensiye, and calculated to govern with a
mailed hand. Is New Jersey ready for
this new deal?
Gloucester County Democrat., 1906-01-25


When Major Carl Lentz, chairman Of the
Board Of Equalization Of Taxation, that
held a session here last Thursday, said that
''the loudest howlers for Equal Taxation
were the most systematic tax shirkers.n y he
set good many minds to werk, because he
and his colleagues were heralded as the
apostles Of equal taxation, and his speech
and badge of Office did not seem to har-
monize. We gather from our North Jersey
exchanges that the animus Of Mr.. Lentz's
insistance that assessors increase their val
ues is well developed scheme Of the rail-
roads to offset the peoples demand for
equal taxation.
While our assessors are searching the
cellars and attics of their constituents for
more personal property on which to levy,
and increasing the "value" of real estate,
there is no evidencenee except Mr.. Lentz's
say so, that the same effort to find the real
value Of railroad property is to be put
forth, because if Mr.. Lentz. with all his ex-
perience in values, is yet in total ignorance
Of the value of mile of main stem rail-
road property, there is little hope that he
will eyer acquire that knowledge

THORoFARE.

A guessing contest was the chief
interest at the Grange meeting on
last Monday night. The Changers
felt like having a little relaxation and
took it in this way. Cakes and pies
were made and the seeds of fruits or
vegetables incorporated. The Grang-
ers were told the kind of seed and
left to guess the number. Some of
the guesses came so near the truth
as to be almost laughable.. Though
there was laughter and plenty OF it
all along the line. as when one cake
was found to have only a fern seed
in it, and one pie only a bean. There
we're candies also with nuts in them.
When the guessing was over, coffee
was made and the Changers were re-
galed upon the cake, pie and candy
and SO able to make merry over them
in two ways.

SCHOOL CHILDREN ON OUTING.
Fourth of Series Of Free Entertain

mentS OF Luna Iark.
The fourth of the series of outings for
school children is being held at. Luna Park
today. Early this morning the little people
crowded into the cars of the Washington,
Alexandria and Mt. Vernon Railway Com
pany, preparatory to their journey to the
big amusement resort. Special cars had
been provided by Superintendent Colvin for
the accemmoda ton of the youngsters and
they packed every car. Several of the
more enthusiastic ones took advantage of
the work train which pulls out at o'clock
every morning, and were at the park gates
long before the watchmen had departed.
The day is being spent by the little ones
in the enjoyment of the free rides furnished
by Manager Gill, and in taking advantage
of the big picnic groves for the eating of
their lunches. Most of the school children

These outings have been of great advan-
tage to the school children, of Washington,
Alexandria and the surrounding towns.
Every Saturday the park Ii, crowded by the
little visitors who stop at nothing in their
efforts to get all they can out of the days
program. There is much for them to learn
at the big pleasure resort, as well much
to entertain them. 1t has been splendid
opportunity for giving those of our boys
and girls who have not been fortunate
enough to get away from the city this sum-
mer the pleasure of a weekly outing near
home, accompanied by their parents and
families.
