Boss Strong does not like the way
the EVENING NEWS showed the
voters what a gold brick the last leg
islature gave them under the name of
equal taxation and he has caused his
personal organ, the New Brunswick
Home News to explain" the matter.

For instance here is what the Trenton
True American says on the same sub
ject:
1.-THE second class property of the
railroads was given over to the NUM-
cipalities for local assessment and
taxation for local uses, and a law was
enacted for the taxation of railroad
main stem property at the average
taxing ute Of the municipalities OF
the state. Recognizing a lack of uni
formity in the taxation of other prop
erty in the various taxing districts
and the unfairness of the principle OF
the Perkins law to the railroads, an
other scheme was concocted, the aim
of which was to so lower the tax rates
of the various municipalities OF tne
state, and, consequently, the average
rate, as to prevent the railroads taN
bills from going higher.
1T was alleged that 4 was nnla's

BY Police Magistrate DANIEL FINN of New York 4
1@HE human vampire is a terrible thing, and we see it in the
police court IN ALL ITS NERVOUSNESS 1t battens
on the immortality of men and women, puts its claws in the
pockets of the push cart humanity, which, wretched and low
asi it is, is infinitely superior to the thing that profits by its Ignorance.
1T WILL TAKE MONEY DRIPPING WITH BLOOD AND REEklNG
WITH THE WORST THERE IS AND LAUGH AT YOU WHILE IT
is DOING 1T.
The grosness and brutality of mans inhumanity to man and the
whole worlds wolfshness toward woman, IS seen from a police mag
istrates bench, sometimes shake our belief in the things learned at
Sunday school.
The love of money has got the world in a frenzy, and NOTHING
CUNTS AGAINST IT.
1t kills the love of home and family; it makes repulsive, ugly,
Shiny things out of men and women who seem fair enough to look at
until you hear them open their mouths in a yawp that has only money
for its theme and you see that the only motive that is propellng the
living thing is the unholy, rapacous, vultnrelike desire TO GAIN
A DOLLAR OR TWO or to keep from letting one go.
The insolence of people who feel the power of money they possess,
got BY FOUL OR FAIR MEANS, is as bad in its way as the
lack Of decency on the part of those poor creatures who are trying to
get it by any of the means that have, as incidents in the getting of it,
frequent appearance in the police court.
THE iNsoLENcE OF MONEY GOES TO TURN THE socALIsTIc
SPIRIT OF THE IGNORANT INTO ANARCHY.

man an opportunity for acquaintance, which may or may not be valu-
able, DEPENDING UPON THE USE TO WHICH HE PUTS
IT Some of these positions may give to a young man a comparatively
easy Sob" at pretty good salary If this is an advantage, he has it.
AS al opportunity for Judging human nature many of these positions
afford splendid opportunities.
Elective Offices as a rule are not thrust now upon Cincinnatuses
summoned fromlthe plows. The average man elected to public service
GOES AFTER IT, horse, foot and dragons, and enlists all of his
friends in his behalf. Elective or appointive Office is, of course, some
times a stepping stone to higher official positions. Men have gone
from the Office of constable to that of governor. Everything depends
UPON THE MAN HIMSELF, and there nc no cookbook recipes
for success. Public service has ruined some men and advanced others.
Courage, honesty, ~faithfuness to duty-in a word, CHARACTER
will inevitably tell, whether with advantages or disadvantages.
Opportunities for promotion to young men in appontive public
positions may result from good work, influence, caprice or any other
reason, the same Is in a private business.
What are the principal disadvantages to the young man in public
service2
The principal disadvantage to the young man in public service is
the precariousness of his tenure of office. He must be ready to fold
his tents, like the Arab, WHEN A NEW ADMINISTRATION
STEPS IN. Civil service has, of course, made political situations
more stable of late years, but civil service is NOT OMNIPOTENT.
The average man holding a political position feels when a new admin
istration comes in that "the gobbins IL git him eff he don't watch
out" This feeling of insecurity is liable to have a disquetings effect
upon his work. Then, too, whether appointed or elected, he must
spend considerable money and time in assisting the political admins
tration which placed him in power. HE is BOUND TO DO
THIS or be ungrateful. The result is tina. the maj who honestly
saves moneyin a political job is a wonder.
As for leisure, that word is a stranger to his vocabulary. The OPP
portunities for advancement are not better than in private business
IF AS GOOD. If a young man is fond of seeing his name in the
papers, he is liable to have that feeling gratifed more often if he is in
the public service than he would in private business. This may be
claimed as one of the DOUBTFUL advantages, appealing more to
youth than to the CONCEALED wisdom of middle or old age.
FOR THE WORK DONE IN PUBLIC SERVICE, THE CRITICISM.
THE ANxlETIEs, RESPONSIBILITIES AND EVEN GREAT TRiUMPHs
ACHIEVED, THE LEGITIMATE PEcUNiARY RESULTS ARE THE
IMPOSSIBLE TO COMBINE BUSINESS AND POLITICS SUCCESS.

BRIDGING THE SOUND.

Considerable interest is being TAX
en- In this section of the state in the
work being done by the Interstate
Bridge Commission. The general
sentiment here is that the proposition
of a bridge over the Staten Island
sound from this city to T%ottenville
should be brought before the com-
mission in as favorable a light as pos
sible.
The EVENING NEWS has already
ferred to this matter and it was
this reference that has started the
agitation. The de~sirability of a
bridge across the sound at this point
is admitted by all. Except for a rail-
road bridge, Staten Island is practi-
cally isolated from the mainland, and
nowhere could a bridge be built to
benefit the people of the island more
than at this point. This is made all
the more so by the completion of the
Ambeyibridge across the Raritan riv-
er.
With a bridge across. the sound the
best farming section of this state
would be brought close to the Staten
Island people, and. by the use of
the municipal ferryboats, to the great
markets in Manhattan. In South Jer1

The Great Inefficiency
