Trenton, Dec. 11:-Claiming that
his proposition to tax beer in this
state fifty cents per barrel is not
radical one, Counselor Peter Backes,
of this city, member of the State
Excise Commission, gave out Il state
ment today in answer to the critic
isms which have been leveled at his
suggestion. Mr.. Backes made the
suggestion to the State Excise Prob
ers and it is now pending before
them. The proposal has created a
storm Of protest throughout the state
among those favorable to the liquor
interests. Mr.. Backes states that it
his belief that the objectors are
largely persons engaged in the brew
cry business, or indirectly interested
therein.
Federal Government Tax.
Defending the stand be has taken,
Mr.. Backes points out that for sew
eral years the federal government
has imposed tax of 81 per barrel
upon beer. Discussing the question
today Mr.. Backes said:
1T is my opinion that tax of fifty
cents should be laid, not only on the
porduct of the breweries in this state,
but also on all of the products OF the
foreign breweries that may be
brought into this state. admit that
1t may be difficult to exact this tax
from foreign breweries over which
the state has no Jurisdiction, but as
a remedy for this difficulty I would
suggest that the tax could be laid
upon the person who handled this
foreign product
Continuing. Mr.. Backes contended
that from such a tax the oommuni-
ties of the state would receive more
than 81 500, 1000, with several hun
dred thousands more from the tax
on foreign beer. He emphasized the
fact that the proposed tax was upon
a luxury, making it, therefore, Just
subject for taxation.
Cost of State Institutions.
Passing to another phase Of the
question, Mr.. Backes showed that
certain state institutions cost New
Jersey for the year, $1,3S1,742,62,
as follows:

BOARD ADOPTS A RESOLUTION
Majority of the Commissioners Want the Architect Paid
Before 1t Is Known Whether the Revised Plans Will
Come Within the Appropriation.

Commissioner Seaman called the at
tention of the board to the position in
which they had placed themselves.
CAS- / understand it," he said, "Mr.
Dayton Is first plans were rejected be-
case they exceeded the appropriation.
We do not know II these plans con be
built within the amount, yet you are
willing to pay him $1,000. Is that
iusta Is it fair way to handle the
city's money!
Commissioner Arner said he did not
think any man should work without
pay and if the board wanted any man
to do SO they would not be acting fair.
ly. "No civilized man." he added,
"would want to work for nothing"
Mr.. Seaman replied that he did not
object to Mr.. Dayton being paid the
money at the proper time and would
even be willing to pay the 81 900 him
self if the plans proved satisfactory
and the board was unable to give the
architect the amount. ~ think we
are not acting properly in this matter"
he said, "by taking this chance, espe-
cially when we had architects who
were willing to draw their plans for
nothing, If their schools exceeded the
appropriation"
President Bradley stated again that
he knew that Mr.. Dayton s new plans
would come within the appropriation.
1t would be hard job, he said, but
he was satisfied in his own mind that
they would. He stated further that
on account of Mr.. Dayton being put to
so much expense he should be paid
something on account
The resolution was then put and ear
ried by the following vote: President
Bradley and Commissioners Arner,
Moore and Larson-Yes; Commission.

APPEAL FOR
CHRISTMAS
What the Salvation Army
Hopes to Do for the Poor of
This City This Year.
CHANCE TO HELP

This is the time OF year when
everyone is thinking of Christmas.
The holiday spirit fills the air. But
while busily engaged in picking out
presents for your loved ones do you
ever stop to think of the many who
have no one to buy gifts for them
the thousands who do not know
what the Christmas good cheer real
ly is? Perth Amboy has some Of
these and every citizen has an oppor-
tunity to do something toward MAX
ing the poor happy. This can be
done through the Salvation Army.
A pot is kept boiling along the street
these days and your contribution
can be dropped in it to help keep it
boiling. You can also send direct
TO Captain Laws. The funds are
coming in much slower this year
than last, when 100 Christmas din
ners were given out.
Following is the appeal made by
the Salvation Army:
Dear Friend;
We need your help to provide
Christmas dinners for 800 of our
city's poorest people, and give a
Christmas tree and treat of wearing
apparel, toys, fruits, nuts and candy,
etc, to 100 poor children.
Christmas Day, TO most of us,
means day of JOY, of good fellow
ship. We clasp the hands of those
We have been separated from, we
exchange presents with dear ones,
we feast upon the good things of
life; the children bubble over with
iOV hecause of tha t0VS and Gifts that
are theirs, and thus Christmas Day
is q day never to be forgotten.

mary was made for the common peo-
pile and ne claims to be one of 'em.
Most everybody in Adair county
knows "Prairie Jim, as he has been
resident of jefferson township since
the early sixties, and during the most
of that time has been active in public
life. For a number of years he has
been at the state house, 4 part OF the
time in the Office of the secretary of
state, and secretary to Lieutenant
Governor Herriott during his term OF
Office. No man In Iowa has y more in
innate knowledge Of state affairs and
no man has larger acquaintance with
the public men. He is thoroughly tit
ted for the Office and would bring to
the discharge of its duties wide prac-
teal knowledge of conditions in the
state. The republicans OF Adair coun-
ty will be glad TO help in practical
way in elevating one of their fellow
citizens to the second position on the
state ticket. --Fontanelle Observer.
