of the prominent banks of the state have
come to the conclusion that it would be a
very unwise policy for the banks to claim
large deduction.
But against this comes the argument
that the stakeholder is the person affected
and that he can make his claim if the
bank officials do not do it for him, so the
officers in many institutions have acted
upon that idea.
A gentleman connected with one of the
prosperous institutions of this county, in
an interview with representative of
The News, expressed himself as very I'M
favorable to the present conditions. He
felt that bank stock should be made to
pay, as individuals are, somewhere near
the value of their holdings If any Of
the banks were to liquidste today they
would pay the stockholders more than
they are assessed for. He said he feared
the passage of law that would assess
bank stock on different basis from that
now in vogue and that the stock would
be assessed to the bank and the tax be
paid to the community where the bank Is
situated.

New Egypt,s Carnival.

Preparations for the big lake carnival to
be held at New Egypt, on Tuesday,
August 10, are far exceeding all previous
plans With full treasury this year and
operating under the auspices of the Vii
lage Improvement Association, the man.
agement of the affair feels that it can
make elaborate preparations.
Governor Fort, several Congressman
and a number of noted men have been In
vited and are expected to be present. ALI
the principal committees have been APP
pointed and arrangements have been made
with parties. in control of surround
ing waterways to provide Oakford Lake
with full volume of water on carnival
day.
The Committee on Entertainment, con-
sisting of w. M. Nash, DR.. Foulks and Il.
/. Jameson, has made arrangements for a
select quartet to render choice selections
on the water, while the boat parade is be-
ing arranged In the evening. First-class
band music will provide musical entertain
ment throughout the day, and two good
base ball games will be played between
New Egypt and Hightstown.
The Committee on Boats and Floats,
which is represented by ex- Senator George
L. Shinn, Charles Robbins, William Alb.
UOJ, GQ W al " DCnACoc anu OAOAAOo w OSA-

boats and floats nearly twice as long as
the one in line last year, and when the
fact is taken into consideration that the
Carnival Committee will help bear the ex

the result should be most beautiful dis
play.
1t has been decided by the association
to invite competition for prizes from boa
owners in Burlington, Monmouth and
Ocean counties, and the boats will be car
ried to the lake free of all cost from al
points on the Pemberton and Rightstown

Taxation of Bank Stock.

The question Of the assessment Of bank
stock has occupied the attention OF the
Burlington County Board of Taxation for
some time, and the figures were not de-
cided until Wednesday. Under the de-
cision of the Court of Errors and Appeals,
a bank must show the amount OF Its
capital stock, surplus and undivided pro-
fits and from these 1t has the right to
claim deduction for the value of its real
estate and for securities that would be
non-taxable In the hands of an individual.
In some instances the claims of the banks
on the amounts for which deductions were
asked exceeded considerably the amount
of the capital stock, surplus and undivided
profits, and while there is no special ruI-
ing on this subject 1t is plain to the
ordinary individual that where bank has
more than those items invested 1t must be
working on the deposits. However, In
all these instances the sums to which the
banks. were legitimately entitled TO
deduction exceeded the items specified.
A number of the institutions were Up
posed to taking advantage Of the limit,
but others insisted upon the whole thing.
hence there was nothing to do but to
allow all the same privileges granted to
those who would not concede to an
assessment somewhat consistent with
the value of the property. The table
which follows shows the absurdity of the
situation and there will no doubt DC
legislation that will bear directly on this
subject
The Trenton Bankers Association
adopted resolution recommending to the
several banks that they claim deduction
only to the amount of one half OF theil
surplus and undivided profits. After
careful consideration of the subject many

Theatres.

''The Belle of Richmond" a pictur.
esque play Of the Southland, irich In that
beautiful color and romantic atmosphere
which have made Dixie life one of the
most attractive topics for stage reproduc
tions, will be presented by the Orpheum
PLAYERS at the Chestnut Street Theatre,
Philadelphia, this week.
Strange as 1t may seem this will be the
Orpheum Company's first appearance In
a play that is typical of the South, and
as it will mark a new departure in dram
attic offerings at the Chestnut Street
Theatre, exceptional care will be taken
to assure the success of the venture. Dur
ing the past two months the majority OF
the Orpheum productions have been
farces and comedies, and now the COM
pany will direct its attention to play
that is more serious In tone and more
dramatic In character.
1.-THE Belle of Richmond" is play that
pictures modern life In the Southern cap
ital at Its very best The characters
around which the story is woven, are, with
the exception of two or three, true
hearted sons and daughters of the South,
whose lives are spotless, whose integrity
is above reproach, who are generous,
noble spirited and chivalrous even to q
fault. The introduction of such splen.
did group of characters can be only an
inspiration to the man and woman who
delights to spend an afternoon or evening
at the theatre.

For the opening night at the Burling
ton Auditorium. Manager tanning ha
secured the strong attraction ''The Rec
Mill, F" one of the most popular Of recen

The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1908-08-04

In The News, last week, was an item
which reported the Liquor Dealers Asso
citation of this county, at a meeting II
Burlington, decided to support candi
dates only who would be favorable tt
their interests" That item has called
forth a letter from George Coleman, sec
rotary of the Association, who assures vi
that no such action was taken at the meet
ing mentioned or at any previous meet
ing. Mr. Coleman says: ''Nor have we
as an Association, entered into politics Ii
any way. do not care to enter into 8
discussion, but simply to set you right as
far as the facts are concerned"
The item referred to was taken from 8
report in newspaper. and facts gathered
afterwards led to the impression that II
was correct THE News has no desire to
misrepresent, or to lead to the idea that
every liquor dealer is violating the law.
There are some in the business who do
try to respect and obey the statutes
There are others who are not so careful.
To present our view Of the item 1t is
only necessary to say that members of the
Liquor Dealers Association have been
and are openly denouncing candidates for
Office who do not seem to favor their bust
ness. One dealer has told us personally
what the dealers propose to do in the COM
ing campaign and that "the Association
was thoroughly organized and would
have loads Of money" At recent gath
ering in this county, one candidate for
Office was taken around by first one, then
another, liquor dealer, and his qualifica-
lions were freely exploited. Another
candidate, who has announced himself for
local option, was made the target for shots
from another hotel keeper who expressed
himself willing to part with his property
in order to secure the candidates defeat.
So that, while THE News may have been
wrong in its statement that the Associa-
ton had resolved" the attitude of some
of its members cannot be gainsaid.
One paragraph in the item read thus:
IF those who are trying to control the
time to running their business legally
they would accomplish some good and
remove many of the objections now
urged against the trade"
To this item we still adhere. There are
those who are trying to control the politi
cal situation, and there are some who are
attending strictly to their business. To
the latter the paragraph does not apply.
To the former it does. The liquor trade
has as much right as any other body to
express preference for particular can
didate, just as private citizen or cor
poration has, but sometimes the methods
used and the men who do the shouting are
open to criticism. THE News will exer-
else its privilege to call attention to any
move in political or other circles, not with
the desire to injure, but to inform the
public what is going on, and if statements
are made that are not correct we will
gladly rectify.

| A team PLAYING under the name OF
Mount Holly got beat on Saturday. II
was known In advance that several of the
home teams players would be absent, and
manager Perinchief thought he had ar
ranged to fill their places, but the new
men did not show up, consequently there
was a general change-around. Only three
of the team were in their regular places,
the catcher, pitcher and third baseman.
and the two latter might as we'll have
been elsewhere. Reynolds, third base,
was very wild in bis throwing, and
Thorne. the pitcher, played like a baby.
He made three wild pitches that gave the
other side two runs, then, when some
other members of the team made poor
plays, Thorne showed yellow streak
and simply tossed the balls over until he
got out of his pet. He ought not to have
been allowed to finish the game after
throwing down as he did The fact that
his support was not of the best was none
of his affair. He was engaged to pitch
ball to the best of his ability regardless OF
what was back of him.
The Mount Holly team was made up as
follows: Seamon, catcher; Thorne, pitcher;
Frank Hates. first base; Loveland, second
base; Reynolds, third base; Perinchief,
shortstop; Tomlinson, left field; Palmer
Wetherill, center field; Quaker" Shinn,
right field. Four of the players were in
their street clothes. Yet the new men did
fairly well. Wetherill made two good
catches, Shinn got one, on which he made
a double play. and Hates made two hits,
on one of which he got to second, and
would have made the same base the
second time If he had not lost courage.
The Palmyra boys did not play such
extra ball 1t was the mixed team against
them that gave them the victory. With
the regular team in the field they would
not have had chance of winning. They
made five runs and Mount Holly got but
two. Each side had five hits and three
errors. In the first inning, with the bases
full and two men out. Mount Holly was
unable to make the necessary hit to clear
the bases.
