II TARIFF AND II BUILDING TRADES.

sworkmen in the building trades nave every reason to hail tariff reductions
on iron, steel lumber an other materials that are used in building, for reduce
tn of the costo of materials stimulates building enterprise nj creates more
opportunities for work. In iron and steel manufacture if we can sell American
rroducts in Europe by the thousands Of tons w ought to be bile to command
the home market tariff or no tariff. That fact is seh-evdent The demand for
lumber is destroying our forests n as the forests disappear American lumber
becomes scarora and dearer 1t is national policy to save he forests m it is
economic policy o get cheap lumber forc construction and manufacture Free
lumber is therefore. al imperative necessity. The workman in he building
trades who ann see the benefit 10 his own interests of reduction Of the tariff
duties on his raw material cannot see very far.

4 pUBEIc Urn TIES FIGHT NOW.

BY the action o the House of Assemblyfin passing the Martin public utilities
bill in a radical form it is barely possible that the conditions that prevailed
during the prolonged session OF 1907 may be repeated. That session began Janu-
airy 8 and ended October r. The House passed a railroad commission bill with
ratemakng power. The Senate substituted a different kind of a BILL and there
"a a deadlock. There were mixed motives in the Assembly majority for the
Martin bill That is evident enough in an analysis of the vote One va the
desire or a bill so radical that the Senate, the conservative balance-wheel in
legislation, would be constrained to defeat it, The bill az passed by the House
will never pass the Senate. If there is a substitute, Or material amendment
there may be a struggle and the session may be prolonged. But then it is not
Improbable that an Assembly majority will agree to Senate amendments. The
vote yeserday looks that way. -"

AMENDMENTS AND SENATORIAL REPRESENTA- TON.
AND NEWARK ADVERTISER
FOUNDED MARCH /, 1882.

II he proposed amendments to the State Constitution now before the Iegis.
latures shall be adopted. the longdeayed reform in he system of representation
in the State Senate will be postponed for another half century. 1t is now sixty
five years since the adoption of the present Constitution, and the senatorial
representation, which was unfair tic majorides even in 1874, has become an
anomaly in State government one-fourth of the voting population of the
State controls the Senate and, IN the basis of an equal representation, therefore
one-haIf of the voting population is practically unrepresented. As the con-
currence of the Senate is necessary for any amendment changing the system,
and az h popular minority in control is always opposed, there can b. no
change until some great constitutional need may be felt by all counties, large
and small, to bring the small counties to terms If they get all they want by
special amendment and without n concession to the great majority of the
State electorate the senatorial system will always remain unchanged. If the
larger counties should say to the smaller You shall have n o change in the
State Constitution until you consent to the election OF senator's to represent dis
tncts Of equa population" that change would be made probably before the
state census is taken in 1916 -

For the first time In the history Of the

Goodman was convicted before Judge
Mulqueen on his second trial. His frs.
