STATE COUNCIL OF NEW JERSEY.

To the Officers and Members of all
Councils of Jr. 0. y. A. NJ. of New
Jersey,
Greeting:
The Order for two years past has,
as is well known, been making a fight
for the preservation of the school mon
eys of this State Last year, and this
year, persistent effort was made by
the Administration to turn the school
money, derived from the tax on the
main stem of the railroads, into the
State Treasury for miscellaneous uses
Through the efforts of our Order
these attempts proved unsuccessful.
Eternal viligance is the price of
liberty"
The effort to divert these moneys
from the schools has in no wise ceas-
ed, and the influence that is working
to this end is endeavoring to secure
the nominations of candidates for the
Legislature from the various counties
who, if nominated and elected, will
favor this policy We urge every
member of the Order in this State to
be on gug d and see that the nominees
for Legislature are friendly to the
schools, and will resist any effort to
divert from the use of the schools
such proceeds of the main stem rail
road taxes as under the Act of 1906
are pledged to the free public schools
of the State.
Yours in v, L. and P,
GRAFTON E. DAY,
EVERETT GRAY,

Judge Swayze filed an opinion in
the Jersey City horse car license case
on Tuesday, which holds the present
trolley company liable for the license
fees on its own cars and on the cars
of all the companies it has succeeded
back forty-ons years. If this is col
lected it will be something like s410
per car of arrears, besides the $40 an
nually. 1t will not be an easy matter
to find out how many cars the old
companies ran, or what became of
them.t This decision will add a third
tax to the two now paid by the troll
ley company. It pays on its property
the same as an individual, and it
pays 5 per cent. of the gross receipts
for a franchise tax. If every munich
pality adds the license fee of $40 some
of the cars will have to pay good
many licenses. j. G. Journal.

Annual Session Of the Washing
ton State Grange.
Some of the important items Of Busl-
ness Transacted-Almost Ten Thou

Re- elected State Master.


One of the most progressive state
oranges in the Union is that of Wash
ington. where C. B. Kegley is state
master The twenty-first session of
that body was held June ] at Ellens-
burg Some of the more important
items of business transacted were the
following: A resolution was adopted
demanding that the officers of the ma
tional grange make regular reports to
the membership through state oranges
as to the status of the national grange
official organ. now being published at
Concord. n. H.. under the direction of
the national grange executive commit
tee. No detailed report of the business
of this paper has ever been made to the
national grange Another resolution
asking for the appointment of a deput
to organize oranges in the state from
among the grange workers of the state
was also adopted. There has been con-
siderable criticism on the part of the
far west oranges in regard to the pol
icy of the national master to send
eastern organizers into the western
territory.
Another resolution adopted called
for the statement OF the expenses of
the national grange to the various
state oranges. Another asked for the
appointment of state matron to have
charge of the juvenile work. stand
ing committee on good roads was APP
pointed. A reform in taxation was
called for in which the person who
makes improvements ON property
should not have. to bear the burden of
taxation also The grange recon-
mended that the state adopt the plan
of regular tax levy for, the support
of state institutions The grange op-
posed state aid roads as being a ve-
hicle for graft and corruption 1t
urged that districts be allowed to elect
their own supervisor 1t asked that
practical agriculture be added to the
course of study in the common schools.
During the year sixty-seven new
oranges were organized with 2,7SJ
members. The total membership is
now 9,132 in 1874 oranges There are
also thirteen Pomona or county oranges
and two juvenile oranges. The sixth
degree was conferred on eighty -eight
candidates. C. B. Kegley was re.
elected state master.

State Wide Prohibition Fight.

Rev. Geo. w. Young, of Philadelphia
assistant general superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League, says that
within twelve months that organiza-
tion will commence in the States of
New York, Pennsylvania, and New
Jersey campaign not to end until
there is Statewide prohibition in all
three States.
He said that the bulk of the liquor
trade in the United States is in the
States named, and that there is no eff
fective temperance organization in
either. what work is done being of a
haphazard nature.
He added that he and other leaders
are planning campaign and when
real work begins they will carry it
through with rush and have many
surprises for the liquor interests.

New Hampshire's Grange Lectures.

There is much interest in New
Hampshire over the free public lee
ture course instituted and supported
by the state grange in connection
with the subordinate oranges. There
has been a lecture fund since 1905.
when the state grange appropriated
$1,000 for furnishing lecturers to sub
ordinate oranges. literature. etc. At
the last annual meeting of the state
grange $500 was added to this fund.
and course of free public lectures
has been instituted. The expense of a
course of three lectures is about $50.
half of which is paid by the subordi-
nate grange. if able, and the rest by
the state grange. A hundred applica-
tions have been made for these tec-
lures. and about one-eighth are wholly
supported by the state grange.

Costs Him over Five Hundred to
Violate Injunction.
L. r. Bloedell, the s~aloonkeeper az
Cutoff, is finding it an expensive game
to violate an injunction issued against
him last May under the Iowa mulct law.
A short time ago he was in court charged
with being in contempt by reason of
violating the injunction and was fined
$500 and trimmings, including a fee of
$50 for the county attorney and court
costs. Bloedell paid this assessment and
promised to be good. Yesterday he was
again before the court on a similar charge
and Judge Woodruff fined him $500, to-
gether with another fee of $50 for the
county attorney and court costs, making
a total of $556.95. Bloedell was game,
however, and stepped up to the clerks
desk and paid the assessment without a
whimper.
Permanent injunctions were granted
yesterday by Judge Woodruff in the sa-
loon cases brought by ]. H. Cupp for
Nicola against Thomas ]. Griffin and F.
]. West of that town. Cupp is said TO
have brought the suits against the sa-
loonmen on behalf of the Iowa Anti
Saloon league.
