ALTOMORLLES " NEW JERSE


There is probably no state concerning whose
highway laws and their administration auto
mobilistS have made more complaints in the
last year than New Jersey. and for those com
plants there often seemed good ground. We
heard Of tourists going Il hundred miles out of
their direct way to avoid crossing the boundary
of that state and of automobile enthusiasts
actually removing their homes from New Ter-
sey to some supposedly more hosptabIe soil.
Also there n happily futile attempt To en-
force Il boycott of automobile makers and users
against certain New Jersey industries the
products of which enter into the making of
motor cars.
All that is changed and it may he
doubted if 8ny other state has to-day. on the
whole. as good q code Of highway laws affect
ing automobiles as New Jersey. The enact
ments of the late Legislature on that one sub
ject, at any rate. are worthy of high praise
The six laws put on the statute book are
well designed both to control and to protect
motorists, and to make the road system of New
Jersey easily available to motorists from other
states nonresident will henceforth have TO
pay only dollar for a New Jersey license.

there will hereafter be pecuniary incentive
to the making of wholesale arrests Moreover.

all the costs of the court are to be thrown upon
the complainant The result of these enact
ments will be the abolition of the auto traps"
and the levying of what has been little short of
blackmail upon tourists.
At the same time the law has been made
severe against misuse of motor cars For Il

EcoNouT N THE SENATE.

Mr.. AldrichS programme of retrenchment, IN
voIyinc cut Of S550gneep in the annual appro-
priarions TO he made at the next session Of Con
gress will test the capacity Of he Senate to
subordinate local interests to the general good.
The Senate has always spent money more freely
than the House Of Representatives The policy
of giye-and tai ke in matters Of expenditure is in
lire with Senate traditions. Senatorial courtesy
is not an empty phrase 1t has covered multi
tude of concessions made solely to pacify in
dividua Senators and individual states. The
Senate legislateS more or less by general con
SEM. and general consent can be secured only
through liberality in compromises. Thus Senate
leaders. in spite OF good intentions. often find
il impossible 10 stand out against increases in
appropriations intended 70 serve some local in
terest rather than 10 be Of general benefit.
A good illustration Of the handicap under
which the Senate works IS offered in the failure
of the effort to consolidate the federal pension
agencies. The House Of Representatives has
tTice voted by large majorties 10 carry out the
sensible recommendation of the Commissioner
Of Pensions that the eighteen pension agencies
be consolidated and pension payments be made
hereafter by a single agency in Washington.
The agency system is q survival. Ii NAV have
been more convenient thirty years ago TO make
payments through sub-stations scattered over
the country. But with modern facilities for
the transmission and cashing of checks it is Just
ss easy and much more economical TO send all
checks out from Washington To maintain one
agency would cost about S3500o0 year less
risen 70 maintain eighteen agencies. Pensions
could also be paid more promptly by dividing
the pensioners into three classes. the first class
receiving quarterly checks in January April
July and October. the second il February. May
August and November. and the third in March
June September and December. Such a system
would keep central agency busy all the year
round Now there are four rush months at each
sub-agency and eight months of comparative
leisure.
Notwithstanding its obvious merits this re-
form has been twice defeated in the senate The
reason is simple The eighteen agencies are scat
tired through fifteen states. and the Senators
from these fifteen states have vigorously re-
sisted the abolition of local offices. The prolon-
cation Of the official lives of the pension agents
has seemed of more Importance than the re-

Governor Gilchrist of Florida has written
letter In which he says that in the last Presl-
Dental campaign the Democratic party did not
appeal to the labor union vote. Yet MI Bryan
alliance with Mr.. Gompers Is too recent history
to be discredited. Probably what the Governor
means is that to judge from the election returns
the labor union voters didn't take kindly to the
Bryan -Gompers appeal. 1t was an appeal which
didn't appeal In other words, as often nap
pens, hindsight failed to fulfil the glorious ex-
pectations Of foresight.
