The Prudential, Benefit. New JERSEY PEG

The Prudential Benefits New Jersey People
The benefits which have come to New
Jersey people through the fact that The
Prudential Insurance Company is New
Jersey institution are shown by the state.
ment that nearly IS million dollars have
been paid by The Prudential to residents
of this State and that more than 900. 600
policies are now held in The Prudential
by New Jersey people.
The Prudential wrote more new bust
ness and paid more claims In New JERSEY
last year than any other Company operat.
ing in this State. In purely voluntary
concessions alone Chat is dividends etc.
granted by The Prudential which were
not provided for In the policyholders' con
tracts) New Jersey people have benefited
to the extent of over 81 900. 900.
These figures show that The Prudential
is of great value as source of wealth to
the State.
In other respects this big institution il
also important to the State. A great life
insurance company Is something more
than an indemnifier against risks; 1t is In.
ployer of labor and great source of rev
enue to both city and State. Figures
showir 6 The Prudential's status in these
various aspects are given.
Thus the amount loaned on bond and
mortgage in New Jersey is over $4,000,
600; an investment which must have its
effects in the development of productive
industry, Again, The Prudential finds 6
livelihood for between 5000 and 1000 New
Jersey people who have dependents rep
resenting perhaps two or three times thai
number. As taxpayer The Prudential
has paid to New Jersey the great sum Of
| g., 800, 900 which somebody would
have had to pay If The Pru
Dental had not located In New Jersey
This leaves out of account the reduction
of taxation that has occurred through thu
decrease Of public funerals since the intro
duction of Industrial Life Insurance.
The Prudential carries over $156. 000, 00t
of paid for Life Insurance on the lives Of
New Jersey people. which is the best evi
dence Of the confidence held by the citi
zens of the State in that great institution

A Question of Law.

Former Oyster Shell Commissioner
George A. Mott, of Tuckerton. pleaded
not guilty to an indictment for maintain
ing nuisance, in that he had built and
rebuilt fence or barrier across the mouth
of creek, opening into Tuckerton bay.
The Toms River Courier says: 1.-THE real
question of issue seems to be whether or
not the State of New Jersey owns the
bottoms of tidawater. This the State has
long claimed and the claims have again
and again been established by the courts;
and the courts have also established the
right of the State to lease or control such
bottoms. 1t is understood that Mott
claims title to the bottom of the creek or
pond of tidewater, on the ground that he
owns both shores. On the other hand it
is maintained that old oystermen say In
their youth it was public oysterground,
and that the shell beds In the creek or
pond were always looked upon as public
property. However, it is alleged that
Mott refused to lease this ground, but
kept other oystermen of, and built a
fence across the mouth of the creek.
Counsel for the Ocean County Oyster
Commission directed that the barrier be
torn down and If Mott persisted In re-
building it, he be indicted. The Attorney
General advised the same course. So the
barrier was torn down, but was rebuilt
stronger than before. Another posse with
axes chopped it up again. in spite of
Motifs threats. Again it was rebuilt.
The Attorney General then said the case
must be brought to the attention Of the
grand jury, SO it is told. and 1t is under
stood that he will try the case when it
comes to trial.
''It is also alleged that there are natural
seed grounds In the bottom of the creek
fenced in by Mott, which the Commission
could not well lease under the intent of
the law. Monday the case went of for
the term.
along this line it might be interesting
to note that Atlantic county Is going
through somewhat similar experience,
some of the oyster planters there occupy
| ing grounds that they refuse to lease and
pay rental for, but treating the law with
contempt"

Residents are preparing to make fight

by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
The use of Broad street, east of the tracks,
has been shut off for a considerable dis
lance by heavy post fence constructed
by the company, leaving those whose
houses face the street no means of egress.
Several of the streets in the western end
of the town have also been obstructed in a
similar manner. This has long been a
source of irritation, but the matter was
brought to head by the accident which
happened on Monday, when little Joe Da-
Wis was struck by train and probably ia.

The Township Committee has instructed
the solicitor to ascertain the ground fol

1T Is certainly reasonable demand upon
the State government that there shall be
publicity of the provisions of important
new laws a. soon a. possible after the
legislature adjourns. There are perhaps
two hundred new laws placed on the
statute books each legislative year. The
full text of these enactments is printed in
pamphlet form, and these publications
have limited circulation. Nobody but
lawyers use them and comparatively few
persons receive copies. The bound vol.
ume of seasonal laws does not appear un.
til months later, and these, also, haye q
limited circulation.
There is practically no means for the
people to know what laws have beer
passed except in fugitive articles in the
newspapers printed from time to time and
very often incorrect or incomplete. What
is needed il q clear synopsis of the laws
passed, to be easily read and readily un
derstood by laymen. This synopsis should
be prepared under direction of the States
law department, and be printed immedi
ately after the legislative adjournment II
all the daily newspapers in the State.
1t is preposterous to enact laws and per
NIT the people to be ignorant of them
Many laws passed affect property rights
many others affect individual rights anC
provide for pains and penalties. The Law
arbitrarily assumes that the citizen of thu
State knows the law. and therefore, ignor
ance cannot be pleaded in conformation O.
en- offense committed. This is form o.
despotism In free State.
Every citizen has the right of ready &C
cess to the laws that govern him. Wher,
the statutes are obscure in verbiage it il
his right to have them explained without
the necessity of feeling lawyer. 1t woulc
seem, indeed, a. If the policy of the Stat,
in this respect was dictated by purpos,
to aggrandize the legal profession. 1t II

UNDER law passed by the last Legisla-
ture the judges Of the courts of common
pleas in the several counties of this state
will have great power In the matter of
drawing petit juries. The law provides
that the judge in each county
may revise the list presented by the
sheriff and erase and substitute
names at his pleasure. This will prevent
the selection of men in return for political
favors done the sheriff and will also do
away with the drawing of Jurors who will
disregard justice in order to protect
friends. Unfortunately this has been the
case In some counties of this state.
