40 sTArE LIoENsrNe BOARD.

Republican politicians in and around
the State House are opposed to the
Governors proposition to create a
State board for the revocation Of Ii
censes. The fundamental opposition
comes from the belief that the people
will not endorse radical excise legisla-
tion and that the party went to the
limit when it stood for the Bishops
bill. They say that the Prohibition
lists will lend no aid at election time,
no matter how much aid is given to
them in the Legislature, and there will
be no means Of making good losses
which would follow radical legislation
They also say that the creation of such
a machine would place the liquor in
terestS under the control OF the Cover
nor, and they point to the series of bills
designed to recreate the departments
as evidence that the Governor wants
an entirely new force, all to be of his
selection and appointment, and they
say that Leon A bbett never tried Snch
a radical method of creating a State
machine. While it is possible that
Governor Fort never gave thought
to this view of the case, it must be adj
mitted that the politicians have some
ground for their beliefs or suspicious.
1t does not seem probable that the
State board for revocation of liquor Ii
cenSeS will be created during the pres
emit session. % Jersey City Journal"

g REFORM" is an alluring word, 1t
is also a delusive word. The reform
alton of mans character, his opin-
ions or his resolutions may be in the
direction of evil as often as it is in the
direction of good. The members OF
the legislature are called together an
nually, not for the purpose Of carrying
out the wishes of any one man or a
handful of men; not to lie dashed into
doing things by threats of political eX-
tinction or. by fear of contempt from
those who would dictate to and drive
them, but to carefully consider, esti-
mate, weigh and measure the bills pre-
sented to them, and to deal fairly and
squarely, honestly, and to the limit of
their wisdom, with every proposition
made to them. They should not be
persuaded by men who represent them
selves in the name of the people. Lit is
possible for every member Of the legiS-
lature to ascertain the prevailing sentl-
nbHuOl his COLlSUlUhCHlo UoN~i"S " AJ
measure in which they are interested,
and he should be guided accordingly.
The people are frequently misled by
false prophets and false doctrines.
They are often represented as demand
ing the enactment of laws that they
never thought of. In such instances
it is the duty of their representatives
in the legislature to find out the truth
and act accordingly. State Gazette"

THE commission appointed by Gov
ernor Fort to revise the primary and
election laws has completed it's work
and presented a bill to the governor.
which provides for direct primary
without the intervention of delegates
or conventions for the nomination of
all officers from the governor down.
This necessitates a complete reorgan-
ization Of the party machinery, which
is provided for in the bill by the cleo
tion of county, city and township COM
mittees by the direct vote OF the vot-
ers of the several parties.
The state committee is composed of
members elected by the various coun-
ty committees. In case of tie between
the candidates for nomination the
state or county committees, as the case
may be, shall select candidates from
among those having the highest and
the same number of votes at the prim-
airy.

The Theatre Project,

About dozen citizens met in the
Office of Stephen Q. Griffith last Tues
day evening to consider the new thea
tire project. Thos. w. Cauldwell was
chosen chairman, and Messrs. Faux
ner and Baron, of New York, gave
some idea as to the cost and profits of
theatre buildings. They had a set of
plans for three story brick building
which would provide two stores, offices
and large lodge room and theatre
seating 1900 people. The building had
been erected for 1876, 900. The profits
of the building would depend upon its
location, and it was conceded that a
suitable lot would run the cost of the
structure to nearly 500, 900, from which
could be reasonably expected net in
come OF from six to eight per cent. In
answer to a direct question the pro-
moters said that if $4,000 or SO was
raised by local people, the balance
could be secured on mortgages. 1t was
decided to consider the matter further
and G. f. Wilson, E. H. Tomlinson
and p, f. Sturgis were appointed a
committee to make canvass Of the
the town.

ONE would imagine from reading
the Newark papers that most OF the
Republican members of the Legisla-
ture were recreant to their trusts and
determined to wreck the party, and
the only statesmen left were the new
idea men from Essex. The facts are,
however, that the majority OF the
men elected know the wishes Of their
constituents and are DESTROYS of meet
ing them. Senator Hillery expressed
the situation on Tuesday when he
said do not see any reason why the
bills which the Republican party
promised the people should not be
passed There is a Republican ma
jority in both houses. A joint caucus
should be held and the propositions
before the legislature taken up. If a
majority of the Republican lawmak-
ers in joint caucus favor civil service
reform bill providing for commission
to be named by the Governor, cutting
out the elective feature, then that
should settle the question and such a
bill should pass forthwith. If ma
jority favors public utility commits
sion bill without any rate-making
provision then that should clear up
another question. So we might take
up all the matters that are before us
and in quick time dispose of them. If
there are those who do not want to
bow to the will of the majority it can
not be helped am prepared to abide
by the decision of the majority in
joint caucus" President Hillery add
ed that he thought public utility
bill and civil service bill, shorn of
the house radical provisions, would be
passed before final adjournment.

BILLS OF LOCAL IMPORTANCE

SENATE 271, by Mr.. Minch, provid-
ing that when sewers are constructed
in towns, house connections to the
curb lines shall be made, passed the
Senate on Monday night. This is in
the interest Of Morristown.
House 1906, Mr.. Lyon. Fixes Janu-
airy ! of each year as the beginning of
each fiscal year and the time when
stated annual meetings of the boards
of freeholders shall be held.
House 397, Mr.. Buxton. Amends
the act relative to the planting and
care IF shade trees.
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1908-04-07

THIS is in all probability the last
week of the legislature. Our best in
formation is to the effect that the
Senate win adjourn on Thursday, even
if the House is not through. 'Of course
the Senate cannot adjourn sine die
without the concurrence of the AS
sembly, but it can hold weekly meet
ings as it did last year and adjourn
g for want of a quorum" and transact
no business. The members of the
House understand this and for that
reason will, no doubt, finish up its
business by Thursday night, even if it
is necessary to stop the clock for a
while. 1t is definitely decided that
there shall be no excise legislation.
The public utility bill may go through
in an emasculated shape. The civil
service bill will emerge from the mill
in very sickly condition. 1t is not
believed that the new primary elet
tion law will go through. When the
appropriation bill comes up it is prob
able that it will be materially cut
down, SO that some of the sinecurt
positions may go another year without
pay. OF course predictions are merely
guess work, as there is no telling what
may be rushed through during the
confusion incident to the closing hours
Of the session, One thing is certain
and that is that everybody will b
pleased when the final adjournment i
reached.

THE call for the Republican pri-
maries will be issued next week.
Chairman Murphy of the Republican
State Committee, advises that, as far
as practicable, delegates With fraction
al votes be not chosen to the state
convention to elect delegates-at-large
but that the county committees so
apportion their representation, by
grouping wards or townships, that
each delegate will have a full vote.
The advantages Of this suggestion are
Experimentation in the balloting
will be avoided, and there will be
more room in the convention hall.
