WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 10.
THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Governor Stokes submitted his an
nual message to the legislature yes
.urN %aSfIlln of good things
for the people, and, if he is speaking
for the majority in the legislature
there promise to be some good re-
suits from the session this year. The
governor has put it squarely up to
the legislature and it remains for the
lawmakers to act.
The message has a significant in
PRODUCTION. 1t starts by calling at
tention to the fact that the people
are aroused for better government
and better laws with every advance
in thought and morals" There is no
doubt about this. After stating the
excellent condition of the states IL
nances, the message urges the legis-
lators o use more care in legislation.
1t calls attention to the great and con
fusing mass of bills which are
ground out every year and points out
the burden this places upon the peo-
nile in order to ascertain what the
law is. The legislators might well
hold the governor in this particular.
Commissioner Wight, of the chart
ties and correction bureau comes in
for some good words and the excel
lent management of the department
is favorably commented upon.
The governors recommendation
that automobiles be taxed according
to their speed is timely and it is to
be hoped there will be som legisla-
ton along this line before the session
closes.
Especially clear is the message on
the subject of corrupt practices. Re
garding bribery it recommends that
the person who informs, whether be
be the bride giver or the bride taker,
shall be exempt from punishment.
At present both the taker and giver
are punishable and it is practically
impossible to get one to testify
against the other on the ground OF
self determination. The governor
would amend the bribery laws to
make the penalties for their viola
ton disfranchisement for a term of
years and for a second offense both
disfranchisement and imprisonment.
The disgrace in this, it is argued,
with much reason, should be suffic-
lent. Likewise the governor wants
to follow the English bribery laws as
to what constitutes bribery. They
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-01-10

forbid any form of entertainment,
hiring carriages, contributing to clubs
and the like. This would be Il rad
ical reform in New Jersey, but it is a
reform that is badly needed and the
legislature can do no better than to
carry out the governors recommen-
dations.
Excellent are his remarks on the
forestry reservations. These are
necessary TO the future welfare of
the state and the work already start
ed along this line should be contin-
ned.
The governor has a little knock for
the Passaic river schemers. In sub
stance, his opinion is that less talk
ing and more work will accomplish
something and it is needed badly.
Taxation is treated under several
different heads, showing the import
ance of this subject in the mind of the
governor. Regarding the personal
tax he goes right to the core OF the
whole matter, quoting figures and
comparisons to show that personal
taxation is almost ignored in this
state. If the governors views are
carried out, there would be little fear
of the Hillery tax law in municipal
tiles. Instead of raising the real es-
tate tax, let the personal tax be
placed where it belongs and enough
revenue would be provided. Every
citizen should read what the COVER
nor says on this subject.
He calls attention to the lack of
uniformity in valuations and assess
ments in different sections and
blames it upon the varying judg-
ments of 500 or more different tax
assessors with as many different
views. He recommends, as a remedy,
a state or county board TO make a
complete valuation at stated periods.
A county board would seem to be
the proper thing. If the same as
SCISSORS were to make the valuations
in all sections of the county there
would not be that unjust county as
sessment that all complain of at pres
ent.
The new Board Of Freeholders can
take a hint from that part of the
lltSSdSc Icltl ms W uApu9Vi
and T~axspenders." The governor re-
fers to the fact that in Hunterdon
county where the new board has TAX
en- hold, there has been a reduction
of $4,000 in county expenditures.
He adds: "If a reduction in expenses
has been successfully accomplished
in one place it is worthy of effort in
others"
Regarding equal taxation of rail
roads, a good argument is put up for
the state to tax the main stem as a
whole, taking the rate from an aver
age to be obtained from all the local
rates in the state. The governor is
not so definite on this subject and
leaves it to the legislature TO decide

WHERE WERE
LEAGUERS?
President Isenberg Had
to Flock by
Himself.

A meeting Of the Baseball League
was called for 3 p. m. yesterday in the
Young Building.
The appointed hour came and went
and at 5:15 those present were: Presi-
dent D. P. R. Isenberg and king of
the Males Charlie Falk, neither of
whom ever miss a meeting
Where the other representatives of
the clubs were is a matter of guess
work.
President Isenberg declares that this
matter of calling meetings and getting
no response is altogether too much of a
good thing, besides involving waste
of valuable time. 1t certainly looks as
if the absent representatives, who, by
the way, are continually absent, were
playing it a bit low down on the presi-
dent, as well as exhibiting an unhealthy
lack of interest in the welfare of the
league.
In future league meetings will be
held on Mondays at 5 p. m.
The dump the Reds gave their sup
porters on Wednesday, somehow, seem
ed familiar. One almost expected it.
Looking back over the last three or
four years, several instances come to
mind when the Fl. A. C.s have dropped
a holiday game which looked like theirs
for the picking up.
holiday comes round and the Reds
are pitted against another nine on
whom they seem to have the Indian
sign-nothing to it but to ring the
tally gong.
The crowd goes out in force, the
good tempered, thoroughly sporting
holiday crowd, many of whom bring
the price of good bet in their jeans
They have figured out the dope. 1t
points to the Cardinals in a walk. On
the II. A. C.s go the bets at any old
odds-oh, it's shame to take the
money!
And the favorites get nipped. by a
solitary bingle and history repeats
itself
It's hard luck on the layers of the
long end but it's all in the game at
that.
Betting on baseball is reprehensible,
but especially foolish is it to lay any
shade of odds on a ball game.

BILLY WOODS
WILL Referee
Veteran Boxer Chosen
to Judge Tomor-
rows Bouts.

Billy Woods has been selected to ref
cree the Sullivan-Silva go tomorrow
night and it is likely that he will adj
Judicate the Huihui- Morch ARRAY. The
choice is a good one for Woods is a
square man and knows the game thor
oughly.
Woods was Silva IS choice and Sulli-
van raised no objection.
Huihui, Sullivan. and Silva have all
been doing lots of road work in train
ing for their battles and will enter the
ring very fit. Morch has of late been
unable to get away from his ship, the
U. S. S. Manning, but he has a num-
Der of mates aboard who give him all
the work with the gloves that he needs.
Sullivan did his last hard stunt yes
terday and the way he hustled All Sam
and Joe Vierra about showed that he
was feeling as good as could be. The
crowd on Saturday will see Sullivan in
such shape and at such weight as to
be able to 10 himself the fullest
justice.
Silva is lying low. 1t is said that he
objects to boxing in public, especially
when newspaper men are around, not
that any have gone out of their way as
yet to see Mr.. Silva box, as far as can
be ascertained.
The Portuguese is particularly anx-
ious to win If he beats Sullivan a
Punchbowl hui is said to be contem-
plating taking him to New York, the
present Mecca of the scrapping craft.
He II have earned a Pullman passage
across the Rockies if he makes the de-
sired connection, that s one thing sure.
Sandy Ferguson, who recently fought
a six-round draw with Gus Huhlin,
trained for that fight in jail. Sandy is
a heap Draw fighter and a tough nut
for the best of them to crack He has
his failing, however-that same old
bug-juice which has put 50 many of the
good boys down and out.
When he gets overjolted he runs
amuck. That S how he got into Jail.
Some say that it was a put-up job on
the part of his hackers to ensure his
keeping sober. That s a trick they
used to play on Young Critic, the rub
her ball Australian boxer, when he was
trying to put all the saloons in Chicago
on the dink.
However it happened that Ferguson
got into quod, it must have done him
world of good from a boxing stand
point. for he came from behind the
bars and fought the best fight of his
career-a draw with Rubin. Great
are the uses of adversity!

SAN DIEGO, May 24.-Within eight
or nine days the ketch rig of the yacht
Anemone, owned by Charles L. Tut,
will be familiar sight on the waters
Of San Diego bay, for by that time the
boat will be given q try-out to stretch
her new sails. which have been sent
to San Diego from New York.
The work of putting the yacht into
commission for the race to Honolulu is
progressing rapidly, and by next Tues
Cay it is expected that she will be
hauled upon the ways for a thorough
cleaning. Her new spars have been
finished, and some of them are in place
now.
The starting place of the race is as
yet unknown to Tut but it will be one
of three places, he thinks-San Pedro
Santa Barbara or Monterey. The Anem-
one Will carry a crew of ten men
when she enters the race and the hopes
Of all ten, the owner included, are for
heavy weather during the entire time
from the starting point to Honolulu.
With heavy weather, L have not the
least doubt that the Anemone viii VIM
for she is the biggest boat in the race
and consequently better fitted for big
Winds" declared Tut THE Lurline
is the next largest of the four and the
strongest competitor of the Anemone.
In light wind it is doubtful what the
outcome would be-
The Anemone is not rugged for rae
ing. A ketch rig is a confortabl
handy rig for cruising, but it does not
offer the advantages for racing that
schooner rig does.
In a good sailing breeze the Anemone
will make eleven or twelve knots Tut
says his boat can make the distance to
Honolulu in about fourteen days, under
ordinary conditions, and with heavy
weather this time will be cut consid-
erably.

LOCAL COMMENT

| The gentlemen who comprised Ben
ton countys delegation to the judicial
convention are entitled to more than
usual credit for their action in sup
porting Marshall county's candidate. 1t
was question of honor among gem
tlemen that held them against the ar
guments and persuasions of many 9TH
err political considerations. Their
own judge had enemies in Tama coun-
ty to appease. Their state senator
needed something to trade for Tama's
support. Their local political boss had
never been quite satisfied with the at
titude of Marshall county republicans
in state politics. All Of these things
rose up to tempt them but the law
yers of Benton county "held'' that
a gentleman's agreement had been
made between the Benton and Mar
shall delegations, that Marshall had
kept faith and when death made nee
essary second nomination Benton
was in honor bound to vote again ac-
cordfng to the compact made. The en-
inent fitness of Colonel Parker to
wear the ermine also had great deal
to do with the situa ton. but the mo-
tive which arose paramount to all po-
litical considerations was the one Of
honor and the Benton men We're gen.
tlemen.
Now that the nomination has been
made and the people of Marshall coun-
ty more than satisfied with the selec-
ton of Colonel Parker it will be fitting
to refer to a communication received
from Mr.. r. C. Ebersole. of Toledo.
Mr.. Ebersole is an eminent and vet
eran jurist. He refers to the spirit of
personal enmity which existed between
the two former judges of this district
and without censuring either for the
existence of such unfriendly feeling
he hopes for new relationship be-
tween the new judges of this district,
whereby both may confer upon knotty
problems in the law and by working
together keep the decisions of this
district as near uniform as possible.
Here in MarshalltoWn, where we all
know Colonel Parker, we can assure
Mr. Ebersole that he will realize his
hope No ordinarily peaceable citizen
can quarrel with Colonel Parker. He
enyies no man. he always has pleas

being told that he would, the two men
beat him on the head with their fists,
cutting his lip, closing one eye and dis
figuring him.
FELTON,, who has been working on a
farm near Melbourne, reached the
city Friday night, to remain until Mon
day with his brothers. He met the
two men in a South Third avenue res
taurant. They asked him if he knew
of place where they could sleep He
made an effort to get away from them,
but they followed him out of the res
tauiant, and kept pace with him until
the end of First street was reached,
when they induced him 10 go thru the
pasture. that way being the shortest
route to his brothers home. When
we'll into the field they attacked him.
FELTON, is able to give good descrip-
ton of the men, but no arrests have
been made.
