TIE day of the political party platform
is about over, SO far as New Jersey is con.
cerned. The State conventions, which
meet once In three years to nominate can.
didates for Governor: the Congressional
conventions. which meet every two years
to nominate candidates for members OF
the House of Representatives, and the
conventions which meet every fourth year
to nominate delegates to the national con.
ventions, are the only ones that may adopt
party platforms.
When 1t comes to the nominating of
State Senators, Assemblymen. Mayors, al
dermen, freeholders and all other county
and city officials, there will be no conyen-
tions, under the new law, and therefore
no committees on resolutions, no declara
tons of principles, no party platforms, no
perfunctory Endorsements of administra-
tions; none of those peculiar essays COM
posed in some shrewd politician g Office just
before the convention and adopted unani.
mously without foreknowledge or fore
thought
What will take the place of the usual,
sometimes meaningless, evasive and gener-
ally misleading convention platform?
Something very much better. Under the
new primary law the man who wishes to
be nominated for Office will probably find
1t to his advantage to state exactly where
he stands. Not where the party stands;
not where the leaders or bosses may desire
him to stand. but just where he stands
himself
Under the new law the people nominate
him, If he Is nominated at all. He must
either be man whose principles are well
known. or he must state them SO clearly
that he commends himself to the people.
else they would not nominate him, but
will vote for some other man who Is more
frank and more confidential. If his state
ment of principles meets with the sppro-
val of majority of the voters of his party
and they go to the primaries and vote, he
will surely be nominated.
There's another thing about this pri-
mary law that is likely to result in better
legislation. When man stands out on
his own platform. over his own name, and
gets the nomination and is elected, he Can
be held personally and individually to ac-
count for anything and everything that
doesn't square with his promises to the
people. He can't excuse himself by say
ing the party whip was cracked over his
head. for the people will say. lyon prom
Used us; not the caucus"
Under the new primary law the people
nave tremendous power of control, IL
they but exercise 1t. Every man seeking
will have to make his own
individual promises. his own personal
platform, and his official conduct vii.

have to be In accord with these promises
and these platforms. In a word, every
man will be his own platform. and he will
not be asked to stand on something that
somebody else has framed. It will
be exceedingly interesting next year to
see how eagerly the would-be candidates
will catersto what they respectively be-
lieve are the demands of the people. And
it will all have to be done before the pri-
maries, so that voters may know exactly
for what and for whom they are voting

LOCAL option is at present looming up
as question that will have to be given
consideration sooner or later. Whether 1t
will be pressed at the next session of the
Legislature remains to be seen. In the
meantime, however, much may be done to
assure the people that the liquor men do
not mean to act in way to force the local
option issue. The bishops law" is suf-
ficiently strong to suit all and If its pro-
visions are carefully adhered to there will
not be near the complaint that is now
heard continually. II the liquor sellers
would display one-half of the energy in
observing the law as they do in efforts to
evade 1t or to ignore it entirely there
would be better state of affairs all oyer.

Ar THE gathering In the State House,
at Trenton, on Tuesday, the organization
of the next Senate and House of Assem-
bly, was discussed by those present.
While nothing definite was determined
there appeared to be general idea that
the leader of the Republican forces in the
Senate would be Hon. Samuel K. Robbins.
of this county. This announcement will
be received with qualification by the
many friends of Senator Robbins, but 1t
will not create any special stir from the
fact that the people of Burlington county
and in fact Of the state, have come to
consider 1t as matter Of course that Mr..
Robbins is to be placed in positions where
he can be of benefit. From the time he
entered the House Of Assembly he was
looked upon as born leader. and he at
once became one Of the advisors of his
party In state subjects. As Speaker of
the House he made great record, and In
the last campaign his labors on the state
executive committee were of the greatest
value. He is only beginning the career.
The future has bright prospects for him,
and with his past record as q guarantee,
he has much to look forward to.
UNDER an opinion handed down by the
Court of Errors and Appeals of this state
last week, it has been decided that the
State Board of Taxation has no authority
to .equalize" assessments by reducing
the valuation placed on property to q
point below true value. The point is
made that 1t matters not that there Is other
property assessed at lower valuation
than others, that does not give good ex-
cuse for reducing, but is reason why the
lower valuations should be increased.
This contention has long been held and
the court has confirmed 1t. In his Law
of Taxation, Charles G. Black, the author,
puts forth In plain language that property
should be assessed at Its true value and
then after defining the term says: $50,
the true value Of property under the
constitution, for taxation, comes back in
~~AA ~As~1b w " 6oe ooSAA RAOROAty WAL ga
changefor In the open market, in money. :"
This was the view taken by the Burling-
ton County Board of Taxation, last year.
in many cases, and In nearly each instance
where there was an appeal, the State
Board reversed the opinion. Particularly
valuable were hotel properties considered,
and the assessments were made upon what
those properties would bring at a public
or private sale. In cases where it was
well known that $4,000 could be had
for hotel property and that customers
were waiting for chance to buy, the
valuation was accordingly measured, but
the State Board said that would not do,
the actual value of the land and buildings
was all that could be considered. The
law as laid down by Black and the de-
-cision of the Court OF Errors and APP
peals would appear to give different as
pect to the situation.
