raising sugar beets would in this way
soon be well tested, and II the expert.
ment should prove a success. it would
only be question Of time when a
beet sugar factory would be erected
in Fergus. At the same time, the beets
raised would make splendid food for
the hogs. and the farmers would get

Mr.. Hobson has himself raised these

success. and he believes that they can
be produced here to meet all the re.
quirements for factory use.

THE refusals of the Republican AL
derman from the Second Ward to vote
for the Republican nominee for town
counsel last Friday night cannot be
defended from any point of view. He
took the Republican nomination and
thereby pledged himself to stand by
the principles of the party. AS the
Second Ward was fighting ground spe-
cial efforts were,made to carry it and
he profited by this effort. That he
was Loyalty supported by his party !
shown by the fact that his majority
was about midway between that of the
highest and lowest Republican candi-
dates on the ticket with him. He has
taken part in the Republican caucus
thereby practically pledging himself
to abide by its decisions. 1t is alleged
that Mr.. Thompron refused to vote for
Mr.. Barkman because of personal diff
ferences, but as the former is too hon
orable a man to prostitute public
trust to crafty private grudge, we
cannot believe this possible and hence
are forced to the conclusion that the
Alderman is DESTROYS of posing as an
independent. If this be SO he COM
menced too late. To succeed as an
independence man must have thecon-
fidence Of the community in the puri-
ty Of his motives, the honesty of his
purpose and the courage of his conyic-
tions, which will hardly be given to
man who accepts a regular party NOM
ination, is elected by the party ma
chinery and then refuses to vote for a
party nominee, whose ability and per-
sonal character are unquestioned. If
a man wants to be independent let
him announce it at the start and then
if elected he will not be open to charges
of bad faith if he acts accordingly.

GovnnNoR STOKES Thursday glgned

GOVERNOR STOKES Thursday signed
the Perkins bill providing for the tax
alton Of railroad property. 1t pro
yides for the taxation of the main
stem of eachrailroad and the water
way Of each canal, Of all tangible per
sonal property Of each railroad and
canal company and of the franchise at
the average rate of the State. Prop
erty Of this kin5 now pays in taxes
under the existing law one-half of one
per cent, aggregating 1861, 900. Under
the Perkins act it will pay the aver
age rate of the State,' or two per
cent, producing about S3,S00,000, or
nearly s3,OOO,OOO year increase. This
will make New Jersey a multi-million-
saire. Its resources will be so enor-
NOUS that the use Of which the sur
plus shall be put will be one of the
most perplexing problems the legisla-
sture will De called upon to solve. The
most popular proposition is that it
shall be used to pay the school tax.
The total amount of this tax was last
year 50, 1902, 292. 81, of which the State.
out Of its surplus, paid IS per cent.
The railroad tax under the Perkins
act would pay it all, and still leave
nearly a million dollars year for
other purposes, such as improved
roads. Such a plan Of distribution
would carry the benefits Of the ne I
tax act to every taxing district in the
State. There are other bills pending
that are necessary for the full develop
ment of the new taxing scheme, among
them being the Hillery minimum tax
act, and the county Board of Equali-
zation act. With these on the statute
books the State will have equal taxG
ton in the true form,

THE Board of Aldermen acted wise
ly in taking steps to secure a steam
road roller for the town. There is no
reason why street improvements
should not be made along up-to-date
lines, and the money expended for
road purposes be used to the best pos.
sible advantage. The roller should be
supplemented with a scraper and other
apparatus to go over the streets and
shape them up, and with comparative
ly little expense they can afterward
be kept in good shape. Chairman Day
Of the street committee Is receiving
much deserved commentator for the
yea. and push he is putting into his
department for its results are very
noticeable. Now if the citizens gener-
ally win cooperate and each one dc
what he can to Keep litter off the
streets we shall redeem the reputa-
tion the town had in the past fol
making bad impression upon strang-
ers, because Of the unkept condition
of our thoroughfares.

NEW JERSEY LEADS.

The New Jersey census of 1905 shows
that New Jersey has gained in the
past five years over a quarter of mil
lion inhabitants.
New Jersey is not only growing fast
er than New York, but faster than any
of the other Middle or New England
States. In thirty years it has doubled
its population as compared with thir-
LYNNE years for New York to show
the same growth.
New York is popularity supposed to
be growing faster than any other
community on earth, yet as shown in
the New Jersey census report, New
York's ratio Of increase in population
in the past fifteen years has been 81
per cent, which is the same as the
growth Of Elizabeth. Some towns in
New Jersey are growing twice as fast
as New York City.
The causes of this unusual growth
are chiefly due to the increase of SUI
burban population in the vicinity of
New York and Philadelphia, and the
extension Of the manufacturing in
dustries Of the State.
The manufacturing cities, such as
Newark, Trenton and Camden, con-
tinue to grow because Of their loca-
tion along the main lines of transpor-
tation, and within easy reach of the
two great cities of New York and
Philadelphia, which constitute their
CHIEF markets.
The growth Of the suburban resi-
dent and Industrial population of the
State is certain to be rapid ard con
tinuous, and to all present appearances
they are likely to add a half-million
to rs present population each year
for long time to come.
