VIEWS OF INAUGURAL ADDRESS

Praise New Presidents Qualifications

Something to Say.

TOXIC. March 5-The united press
of Japan joins in eulogizing President
Taft for his inaugural utterances. The
leading papers praise editorially the new
Presidents proved qualifications as an
administrator. The Kokumin makes the
following editorial comment:
THE address testifies to the states
manlike character Of Mr.. Tafts ideals.
Regarding immigration his views are
ideal and exceedingly satisfactory to the
government and people of Japan"
The Nichi Nichi prints the following
comment:
There are two things in Taft's ad-
dress which demand our attention. They
are tariff reform and immigration. Re-
specting the former the foreboded reduc-
ton of rates promises trade expansion
for both countries. In regard to the
latter we are satisfied that he has
prepared steps to suppress anti-Japanese
sentiment in America
Regrets Roosevelt's Departure.
The Hochi comments as follows:
Roosevelt rendered invaluable service
at the most critical moment Of Japan 8
history and we profoundly regret his de-
parture from the White House. but we
are rejoiced to find a cause for consola-
ton in the fact that his policy is certain
to be embodied in the administration OF
his successor. Taft has many friends
among our own politicians. for his friend
liness has already been manifested. A
brilliant future can be confidently eX-
pected in the relations between the two
countries"
The Jill and other papers comment
editorially in similar vein and express
confidence In the growth Of amicable re-
lations between the two great neighbors
Of the Pacific.
Comment in Rome.
ROME, March 6-Although absorbed by
the electoral campaign for the general
elections, which begins Sunday, the press
today dedicates much space to Mr.. Tafts
assumption of the presidency. The Tri-
buna says that along general lines his
program will be similar to that OF Presf-
dent Roosevelt. and it trusts that Mr..
Taft will be assisted by the confidence or
the American people in his work, which
will be strongly imperialistic.

the Interior Department would put

Secretary Anderson Of the Departmental

TFrom a Staff Correspondent

TRENTON, Jan, 1.-the repeal of
the law of 1906, which diverts some of
the main stem railroad tax for the use
Of municipalities for school purposes SO
that the revenue thus expended at pres
ent might be available for State uses, Is
the only way out of the financial diff
culties now confronting those who are
State management, according to a
statement made last night by Senator
William J. Bradley. The schools, he
declared, could be looked after by the,
State, after the funds for it's own needs
had been secured.
"1 see no other way of avoiding n
State tax" he said. There may ne
ways in which W. car increase the rev.
enue of the State slightly, but nos
enough to make up the yearly deficits.
"If the main stem tax act were re-
pealed, the two million dollars or more
that is paid in every year would go in
to the treasury to be paid out again by
the comptroller. Suppose a million a
year were given to schools, that would
leave a million for the States use, and

IF we do not see that, I see nothing
for it but a State tax, and it Is not q.
businesslike proposition to have the
money and then go back to the people
for more.
THE most important duty before the
present Legislature is to provide more
and sufficient revenue. The governor
has recommended several things hat
will all take money; the ocean bou!e-
ward, for instance. Someone said re-
Gently that the appropriation committee
would nave to find means of raising

CONSTITUTION MAY
Be AMENDED BY
LEGISLATIVE ACT
HiRery and Martin Want People
to Vote on Certain Radical
Changes.
[Trom a staff Correspondent

IIiOAi ~ correspondent.
TRENTON, Jan. 1s.-NVith a regular
Republican majority in both House
and Senate it is quite likely that the
concurrent resolutions for amendment
of the Constitution, as passed last
year, will be passed a secord time this
winter and at last submitted to the
people next fall.
Senator Thomas j. HIillery, of Morris,
in senate concurrent resolutions Nos.
1, 2 and 9, provides for amendment of
the constitution, subject to popular
approval at the polls, for establishing
separate law, equity and appellate di-
visions of the court.
The proposed amendments would
make the terms Of the Governor. sem
ators, sheriffs and coroners four years:
assemblymen, two years; county
clerks. county registers and county
s~urrogates six years. They would in
creas the salaries of senator's and as
semblymen from $500 to $1,000 annually
and provide for the election of assem-
blymen by districts instead of by
counties.
Assemblyman William P. Martin in
troduced a batch of concurrent reso-
buttons in the House aiming to amend
the constitution along different lines.
to accomplish very much the same
purpose as the Hillery resolutions. AS
the Martin measures differ in language
and in a number of recommendations
from the resolutions of last year, their
approval by the Legislature instead Of
the Hillery propositions would render
absolutely useless the action of 1908
and defer submitting any constitutions
amendments to the people until the
fall of 1910 at the earliest.

about S5G9,000 and the 1t ,nls above enum-
Grated will add about 500, 600, making a
total increase of State revenue of about
$500, 000.
For the needs of the State for the pres
no larger appropriations by this legislature
than those made last year. The Legislators
of our State cannot be charged with ex-
traVagance in appropriations or prodigality
obligations to the people. All departments
of the state can safely trust to the legis-
lature for fair treatment and any legis-
lation at one session of the Legis-
ldture which undertakes to hamper and
embarrass a succeeding one, as we'll rs the
and should never be enacted, but II by any
chance it be enacted, the sooner it is re-
pealed the better.
| therefore earnestly recommend the re-
16 of the laws of 1906, or in default of
that, that the present system of taxation
of railroad property by the State be aban-
doned, and all railroad property be. thrown
back into the common property OF the state
for, taxation locally. fol-. local purposes
sufficient to meet the present neads of the
State. If this latter course be taken a tax
of one mill on the dollar will produce
sufficient additional revenue for State pnr-
poses for the current fiscal year.
This whole matter is laid before you MS
the representatives of the people charged
with the duty of providing the revenue TO
meet the needs of the State, and with you
must rest the responsibility.
