IT was learned yesterday that the
Public Service Corporation, which
controls all trolley lines and lighting
plants i'm Northern New Jersey, and
which was lately reported taken over
by the United Gas Improvement Com
pany, of Philadelphia since its organ
Ixati0n, nearly three years ago, has
moi, paid a cent of taxes to eitherc city
or State. The company has an auth
OrTzed capital of 1926, 100000, of which
half has been issued and is outstand-
fng, while the other half is about to
be issued. This condition is due to
the fact that a doubt exists in the
State Board Of Assessors as to whether
publ c service should be assessed as a
public utility corporation, using the
streets and subject to the franchise
tax law on its gross receipts, or simply
as corporation subject only to tax
ON its capital stock issued and OUT
standing under the Corporation Tax
act OF 1884. The city taxing officers
say they know OF no law Wnlcn per-
mfts OF the taxing Of the known value
of Paablic Service stock as bank stock
is now taxed. The corporation says
that it operates but does not own the
many lines under its control, and
xTereTOre is not liable to franchise
tax, 50 long as the tax is paid on the
individual franchises. The East Jer-
sey Traction Company, a concern held
under perpetual lease as constitu-
emf of one of the Public Service sub
sidiary companies, with 100000 s per

it, the principal and interest Of which
are guaranteed by the Public Service,

THE EVOLUTION OF 4 SALARY.

A few years ago the salary of the
Governors private secretary was 3d.
900 dollars and some very good men
were glad to get the position. During
Governor Murphy's incumbency John
L. Swayze was appointed to the posi-
tion and the salary increased to SO, 900,
the argument being that it was desir-
able to have a good lawyer as secre-
tary in order to assist the Governor in
judging of laws, etc, that came before
him. This arrangement lasted short
time when the office of assistant at
torney general with salary of $1,000,
was created in order to have a respon-
sible man in the Office at all times as
the attorney general could not be ex-
pected to give all his time to the
duties of his Office at paltry salary
of $1,000 a year, and Mr.. Swayze
took the position. The new private
secretary, layman as the assistant
attorney general was expected to steer
the governor, received the salary OF
So, 1000, and now tits proposed to make
it So. 900 so that he can hold his own
socially with the other officials at Sea
Grit and elsewhere. The Camden
!" Courier sizes up the situation as
follows:
A bill has been introduced in the
State Senate to jump the salary of THE
| Coy ernOr'S private secretary from
$3 900 to Sc, 900 per annum, and so far
as known there has been no material
increase in the perfunctory duties at
taching to the Office. 1t is plead that
This proposed extraordinary increase
is warranted by the social require
ments of tine secretary involving the
expenditure of money from his own re.
sources, which does not seem to be
sound or reasonable, for the ineum-
bent Of the Office should regulate his
social ambitions to meet his own pOck
ct and not depend upon the State tc
provide payment for them. The pres.
ent private secretary OF the Governor
1 Is an amiable and capable official, who
would PROBABLY NOT benefit by the In
crease, as no official S salary, II is pre-
lsnmed. can be increased or diminished
during his term. Think Of it; $4,000
a year for a Governors private Secre
tary is larger than the salaries d
bwenty-slx governors Of States an6
Territories, equal to the salary of fiji
teen others, and only exceeded by that
paid nine Governors. The proposed
increase is worthy of most careful con
federation IN these days Of reform.

CONGRATULATIONS are due post
master George L. Clarke upon his re-
appointment for another term of
office. He has been a faithful and
efficient official, giving careful person
al attention at all times to the duties
.0f his 0fIice-haying no other business.
HE has secured additional mails, more
carriers, better facilities and has kept
the Office in the best possible condi-
fFiUn for the transaction of business
ana asae convenience of the public, for
which he has been frequently COM
mended 10y the post office inspectors.
A mxrdonable cause of pride with Mr..
Clarke is the fact that he has always
had bis reports in promptly the first
day OF the new quarter and they have
been received as correct by the audi
tors without question. Mr.. Clarke
has been ably assisted in the discharge
or his duties by assistant postmaster
Phillips and chief clerk Mrs. Ambrose,
who have looked carefully after their
departments. In fact the post office
employees and carriers as a rule have
rendered faithful service. OF course,
holding the position Of postmaster
does not give man foretaste Of the
millennium. For between the de-
nands Of the public, living up to the
freak rulings of the postal authorities
and managing lot of people pro
tected by civil service rules, the aver
age postmaster has his full share o.
troubles peculiar to himself, and
considerable number of supposed-to
be first-class business men have gone
to pieces under the strain. We think
our citizens generally agree that W.
have a flnely-conducted post office ant
are pleased to know that the admin
Istration is to be continued.

THE fight in Congress over railroad
rate legislation is still going on and is
getting more confusing and uncertain
every day. The President has not
surrendered, despite the fact that the
speech of Senator Lodge on Monday,
in which he made an urgent appeal
for court review provision in the
Hepburn bill, was said to be inspired
from the White House. The Presi-
dent has not changed his views one
particle since the House last week by
a vote of 346 to I, adopted a rate bill
having his full approval. AT present
| it would seem that the conservatives
| in the Senate will be enabled to pre-
vent the passage of the bill and that
it will have to be settled in confer
ence of representatives OF the Senate
and the House, with the final out
come very uncertain. President Roose-
velt has no uncertainty in his mind
and has said recently that he would
veto bill containing a provision sus-
pending the rate fixed ~ the commits
sion pending judicial revision.

face from Pit No. 2 yesterday passed a
good night Their condition is much
ameliorated despite yesterdays excite
ment. The doctors do not find that they
are suffering from fever, except in the
case OF the youngest man. The floors of
the hospital are covered with straw to
prevent noise and the patients are kept
In semi-darkness. The families of the
patients are admitted to see them for
very brief periods.
When the prefect visited the men,
|. Nemy, the leader of the rescued party,
said:2
81 have some additional details to give.
My mine boy, Provost, was injured by
the explosion and 1 was obliged to lead
and carry him during our search for the
outlet. His sharp ears heard three re-
sponses to our calls. Afterward 1 heard
men using pickaxes and Provost raped
on a waterpipe. To this we received re-
peated answerings. 1t was the noise
made by working party which guided
US out
The work of the salvage parties is de-
layed owing to the exhaustion of the men
and the increasing danger from carbonic
gas. An engineer named Weiss, who
superintended the excavations in Paris
during the search under the auspices of
General Horace Porter for the body of
Admiral Paul Jones, is superintendent of
the salvage work at Courrieres.
Nemy is the hero of the hour and
movement is on foot to have the Govern
ment decorate him with the Cross of the
Legion of Honor
