there is little evidence of bad feeling
here. Both men are known and we'll

The Little Falls Daily Transcript of
Monday, September 10, devotes its
whole front page to ridiculing Mr..
Lindberghs record, claiming that his
work fills the darkest pages in Morri
son County's history and goes along
with a great deal of misrepresenta
tion, mud singing, and, in word,
dirt.
on the third page Of the said paper
there is an editorial headed The
Last Week., in which the editor

Now in this table Of figures they
claim that there was only one redemp-
ton. Assuming that this is true,
there was only one man who paid at
torney's fees by reason of foreclosure,
and 1873 Of them which were not re-
deemed.
The attorneys fees necessarily
were paid by the men who loaned the
money. Anyone who will stop for one
moment and think the thing over will
see that this is correct.
The firm CT Lindber9h & Blanchard
do not deny that they have foreclosed
many mortgages for many clients.
Any other attorney in the city would
have done the same thing bad he been
asked to do So That is the business of
any lawyer, perfectly legal and per-
fectly honest. It is something that
the law allows and Is considered in
law as an honest transaction, unlike
the stealing of So, 900 of timber from

The North Jersey Street Railway
Company has just sent to City Con-
troller Bachelor, of Newark, check
for S10s, 1925, which represents five
per cent. on the gross receipts of the
company in the limits of Newark dur
ing the past year. 1t was a little more
than thirteen years ago that the ordin-
ance was passed requiring the trolley
companies to pay over five per cent. Of
their gross receipts in return for the
privileges granted The first year the
city received but S8,33040, which was
increased to $40, 7O2.91 in 1895. Since
then the percentage has gradually in
creased until this year it amounted to
more than sos, 600, or S1l,4l424 more
than in 1905. The total for the thir-
teen years is close to 1910, 900, and there
is contest now on between the city
and the company as to whether the
percentage is to reckoned on the track
mileage or the car mileage basis If
the decision favors the city there-will
be a substantial increase in the yearly
receipts from this source.

SUPERINTENDENT SMITH, of the
State Motor Vehicle Bureau, is be-
coming anxious concerning the fines
imposed upon violators Of the automo-
bile law by justices Of the peace
throughout the State. The law pro-
vides that every cent Of the fines col
lected most be paid to the State Road
Commissioner, to be used in repairing
the roads of the counties, and, not
withstanding both Commissioner Hut
Crimson and Superintendent Smith are
aware that the fines have been impos-
ed, only about 800 have reached the
State House. Is it possible the JUS
tices are following up their old habit
of pocketing fine and costs, without
respect for the laws mandates. The
story goes that the Justices and their
constables are not so alert as they were
under the old law, and that fewer ar
rests of auto scorchers and violators Of
the Frelinghuysen act are being made
and recorded.

THE Camden Courier says Ia regards
to a Trenton correspondent OF a New
York paper which is continually mis-
representing affairs in this State, 1.-THE
most caustic and unsparing assailant
Of the regulars and the machine
in the Republican party, is an en-
ploye in one Of the State departments
at Trenton, whose chief is one of the
most prominent leaders Of the Regular
Republican organization in the State. :"
The Trenton correspondents news
paper is among the most insignificant
of the New York press and just about
his size, very small all around, but he
seems to suit Col. Sam. Dickinson,
Secretary Of State, in whose depart
ment he is holding down a desk when
he has time to spare from hunting up
defamatory partisan matter for his
daily screed in the newspaper he
serves. 1t is remarkable, however,
that the powers that be in Trenton
should keep on the pay roll number
of men with penny-a-line newspaper
attachments which enable them to
play into the hands of the political
enemy. That is the anomalous con-
dition which surprises most men, who
believe that ingratitude is the I'M

SUPREME Court Justices Franklin
Fort, Trenchard and Reed, have rem
dered decision on the excise law APP
plying to the removal of the screens,
in the supreme court. The decision
said in part
There is no inherent right in a
citizen to sell Intoxicating liquors by
retail; it is not privilege of citizen
of the State or the United States. 1T
may be entirely prohibited by state
legislation or limited in its evils
1.-The police power is inherent in the
several states and was left with them
under our federal system Of govern
ment, as the constitution was origin
ally ratified by the states, and the
fourteenth amendment has not chang
ed this in any way.
!" One engaging in the sale Of liquor
at retail does so subject to the right OF
the state, under its police power, to
terminate the business atlts pleasure.
There is no contract relation between
the state and the licensed retail liquor
dealer, He must conform his business
to the state and municipal regulations
lawfully enacted.

THE Tax QUESTION.

The Newark News remarks that
the equal tax question is becoming
acute all over the State, now that the
majority of the assessors have made
their report as to Valuations 1t Is
indeed-more it is burning question:
and causing lively kick even among
the professional clamorers for equal
taxation, who are anxious to saddle
part OF their dues upon others, says
the Camden Courier To be sure
they are kicking without ca use, for the
indications are that in all taxing dis
tricts where TIE assessments have been
honestly made and reported there will
be no increase in taxes because of a re-
duced tax rate, except in the cases of
those who have shirked their proper
taxes through absurdly low valuations.
Every citizen who has been conscien-.
tiously calling for an equal taxation
system will cheerfully lend his supports
to the new law and accept the results.
For partisan or factional political eff.
fect bnere are persons in every COM
munity who are opposed to equal taxa
tion of all property, for if the law
should prove effective they will lose all
their political capital. Notwi5hstand-
ing the successful efforts of Republi-
can administration to tighten the
burden of taxation on the people of
New Jersey, there continues to be
coterie of demagogues who, from per-
sonal motives, will not cease their
shouts for equal taxation until they
can free themselves from any tax WHAT
ever by attempting to compel corpora
tions to support the municipal govern
ments as well as the State government
and the schools. That is a grating
proposition, closely allied to downright
robbery, but the new idea leaders
mental obliquity refuses to recognize
the fact. 1t is a difficult problem to
solve, but the Republicans. have made
and are making every effort to secure
taxation that will bear equally and
justly on every interest, Individually
or corporate.

NEW JERSEY may not have chance
to hear and see William jennings
Bryan this year, unless former Senator
James Smith, Jr., the leaders of the
True Democracy and some Of the mem
bers Of the Democratic League can
get together and arrange some mu-
tually satisfactory plan for sharing
the honors of chaperoning the Ne
braska politician and statesman. The
whole trouble is over that announce
ment of Mr.. Smith that he had receiv-
ed letter from Mr. Bryan accepting
an invitation to come to Newark, Sep
TENDER lst, as his guest, or under his
auspices.
When the leaders of the True Demo-

The Hudson Observer, which is the
most vigorous advocate of Record says !:
Thus far, in an effort to smirch
Record, who was the Boards emplOye
the Committee of Inquiry has brought
out some damaging facts about the
Board itself, which has been long sus-
pected.
: State riparian land seems to have
been sold to favored grantees for a
mere song. Immense sums have been
lost to the School Fund through these
SurrenderS.
Testimony as to these transactions
is not yet complete. 1t may be shown
later that there was no positive dis
honesty, but 1t is apparent that at the
least Senator Minturn's demand that
no more Of the riparian domain shall
be parted with in fee will be sustained.
Meanwhile it is to be hoped that
the INQUIRY will be continued, irrespec-
tive of who it hits or hurts. Enough
has been disclosed already to show that
this Board ought to be abolished. 1t
should be added in justice to Governor
Stokes that he has twice recommended
to the Legislature that its power be
abridged. ;"
1t is but fair to the present Board
to say that all the damaging facts
disclosed relate to the old Riparian
Commission, and not to the present
body which was named by Governor
Murphy, and which. apparently prompt
ly proceeded to adjust riparian condi-
lions

THE Bureau Of Manufactures in Wash.

THE Bureauo of Manufactures in Wash
ington has made some statistics re-
garding manufactures in Philadelphia
that are interesting. 1t is stated that
in 1900 the wages paid amounted to
1914 ,0O0, 1889, and in 1905 to s107, $40, 307,
an increase OF 1876 per cent. In 1900
the value of the products was S5l9 $751;
S12, and in 1905 it was 1891. 1856, 078, an
increase of 1877 per cent. In 1900 the
capital invested WAS S445, 725, 1872, and
in 1905 it had increased to 1920, 178, 1854,
or 1871 per cent. 1t is somewhat re-
markable that there was only one-tenth
of one per cent. increase in products
over the increase in wages paid, when
there was an increase of capital invest
ed Of 1871 per cent. The increase in
wages paid, it will be observed, keeps
close to the increase in value of pro-
ducts, sure indication that labor is
sharing fairly in the continued pros
perity enjoyed by the manufacturers
OF Philadelphia. To maintain this re-
lation it is necessary that labor should
jealousy endeavor to retain the pres
emit administration of the government
in power By voting for Republican
nominees for the Legislature and for
Congress. That is the issue before the
voters Of New Jersey I'd retain the
legislative power of State and Nation
in the hands of those whose fidelity to
the American policy Of protection of
home industry cannot be questioned.
