ONE Of the most important changes
in the game law this year is that
which requires every resident who
wishes to hunt game in this state to
take out gunner's license, for which
the fee is one dollar. The fee of ten
dollars for non-residents remains I'M
changed. The new statute will be in
effect during the next hunting season
and will have thorough trial. If the
plan works out here as well as it has
in other states it will be found to be
for the best interes Of the game
fields. The privilege of hunting is
well worth one dollar and il the re-
striction will lessen the number of ir-
responsible gunners who have no re-
gard for the proper observance of true
craftsmanship it will servea good pur-
pose. Whatever may be its defect, if
any, it is now a law and will be en-
forced,

THE commodities clause cases were
decided by the supreme court of the
United States, which, while sustain
ing the governments contention that
the clause was constitutional, held
that carrier may own stock in a pro
ducing company and at the same time
transport the products Of that com
pany. William H. Truesdale, presi-
dent of the Delaware, Lackawanna s.
Western Railroad company, which
was adversely affected by the supreme
courts decision in the commodities
clause case, when asked what steps his
company would take to comply with
the ruling of the court said he thought
the road would be compelled to form a
corporation either to take over its coal
lands or to purchase its coal at the
mines. The stock of such a concern,
he added, could be distributed among
the stockholders of the railroad com
pany.

GOVERNOR FORT faces most try
ing duty when it comes to appointing
the experts who under the joint reso-
luton recently passed by the Legisla-
ture must revalue the railroad proper
ty in the State and get at it's present
true value for taxing purposes, says
the Jersey City Journal" The sue
cess or failure Of this great project de-
ponds entirely on the Governors sell
ection. The makeup of that commits
sion and the course that the Governor
will pursue in conjunction with the
experts work will determine the ques-
tion whether the revaluation shall be
a real benefit to the people of New.
Jersey or dismal tiaSco. The law
SAYS in part "The Governor, by and
with the advice and consent of The
Senate, shall appoint three competent
persons, of whom at least two shall be
experts, who shall proceed forthwith
to make revaluation of all railroad
and canal property in the State, rea!
and personal, including separately the
franchises, and make true and COM
plete inventory and appraisal OF the
true value thereof The work shall
be done under the direction of the
Governor, and upon such lines as he
shall deem advisable, and shall be in
form available for use for the purposes
OF taxation under existing laws; in the
prosecution of their duties the APP
praisers may employ all needed cleri-
cal help and shall have such assistance
as they may request from the DEPART
ment of the State Board of Assessors
or from any other State Board or Off
Ger. The work of the appraisers shall
be completed and a report in detail
fled with the Governor on or before
September l, 1909, the report to be
public and to be submitted to the
Legislature of 1910" The above law
shows that no time must be lost if the
revaluation is to completed by Sep
TENDER l. Yet the difficulty the Gov
ernor is having to secure the right
kind of men can easily be understood.
However, it is earnestly to be hoped
that the appraisers will be selected at
an early day and that the new COM
mission will soon get down to the real
business of reappraising and revising
the railroad valuation.

For the second time within the past
two years the Paterson Daily Press
went into the hands of a receiver on
Thursday of last week and James f.
Jorden, one of the ablest business men
of the Silk City was appointed to wind
up the affairs of the paper. For sew
eral years that paper has had precar-
ious existence, despite every effort
made to place it on sound financial
condition. 1t is probable that the en-
tire plant will be sold.

In addition to the names of possible
Senatorial candidates mentioned last

Capstick and Joseph B. Fighter. Mr..
McGraw's large business interests pre-
vented his being a candidate in the

WHEN asked If he was going to call
an extra session of the Legislature or
of the Senate, Governor Fort said " 1
am not ready yet to speak on that SUBJ
ject / would have called special
session of the Senate for next Tuesday
If ! had thought it necessary, but it is
not required so far as appointments
are concerned. The Constitution pro-
vides that when vacancy happens
during the recess of the Legislature,
in any Office which is to be filed by
the Governor and Senate or by the
joint meeting, the Governor shall fill
such vacancy and the commission shall
expire at the end of the next session
of the Legislature, unless successor
shall be sooner appointed. This has
been construed by the courts as you
find in the Kuhl case in 1889. That is
reported in % Vroom, page 1893, and
for twenty years that decision remains
unchanged. 1t upholds the Constitu-
tional right of the Governor to make
ad interim appointments.

From the special announcements of
the L. S. Plaut & Co. store, Newark,
it would seem as if the needs of the

articles that are most in demand by
the average family are presented at a
nice low price advantage. This should
tend to attract large numbers Of peo-
Pile to the store. Besides those men
toned in their advertisement of to
day there are many reasons for a visit
to the L. S. Plaut 81 Co. store when in
need OF merchandise the SpecialtieS

" IT is estimated" says the "Scien
tific American" "that fence post,
which under ordinary circumstances
will last for perhaps two years, will, if
given preservative treatment costing
about ten cents, last eighteen years.
The service of other timbers, such as
railroad ties, telephone poles and mine
props can be doubled and often trebled
by inexpensive preservative treat
ment.o At this time, when the cost
of wood is a big item to every farmer,
every railroad company, every builder
to everyone, in fact, who has to use
timber or lumber where it is subject
to decay-this is a matter which
should be carefully considered. Any
wastage of wood is now sheer profig-
acy.
