road drag and will try dragging the
roads. Last week they dragged
about seven miles and made a big
Improvement in the road. This is
something that should be taken up in
every township and worked at per-
Sistently whenever the roads need
dragging. Or in other words, should
be done after every rain and in a

roads in the country. Let everybody
join this good roads movement and

The cases of H.

In the mean while. the expressmen will be found at their usual haunts.
 It was the contention of Attorney Hayes that while there is ap evident violation of the ordinance which pre- scribes the district in which the ex- pressmen may leave their teams standing, the ordinance does not speci- fy that such violation shall be consid- cred misdemeanor. There is also no penalty attached. An amendment.

JApANesE OVERWHELMING

Many of the old time methods in carpentering and building are still in vogue in Japan. and to see these me- chanics work reminds one of the days before modern machinery was invent ed. Practically all of the work is done by hand and the tools used are some what of a crude pattern and would be difficult for an American to use.
 Such modern methods in joining as using nails are unknown. the different members entering into construction being mortised and dove-tailed to- gether, and held by wooden pins. This method. however. has it's advantage over mailing in that it makes much heater work and is by far stronger than our way of doing-Baltimore

made in a New York court decision that the State OF New Jersey
had been defrauded out of many thousands of dollars by false
Statements to the State Board of Assessors to make it appear
that the Corn Products combine, chartered in this State, was
exempt from tax on millions OF stock because the stock had been
cancelled. The Star suggested that inquiry might show other
cases in which the State treasury had been similarly robbed of
its dues. Governor Fort has now requested the Attorney General
to institute an investigation OF other corporate assessments
There are about eleven thousand corporations listed by the
State Board as taxable on their franchises, but not more than a
Thousand need be inquired into and probably only such as may
have secured reductions in their assessments. At the same time
the facts in regard to the Corn Products Company fraud, which
transpired in such a singular way, should be fully revealed.
Evidently there is much more to be made known.

THE JUDGE, NOT Ill
SYSTEM, AT u

the United States Supreme Court charges that in the general admin
istration of the courts the delays witnessed are due to the Judges
rather than to the law. Justice Dixon knew how to expedite a
case. He gave an eXemplifcation OF that i'll Passaic County at
one time. The civil courts when sharply prodded have moved
with accelerated speed. Now a change in the judicial system isn't
going to make any change in the mood of the Judge. The indi-
vidual will be the same under any system. And if the courts
shall be removed from all possible control by the Legislature as
to rules and procedure the likelihood is that the Judge will become
even more leisurely inclined and obliyious OF the welfare OF lii-
giants. Two years ago when the Supreme Court was much behind
in its business the Judges saw reason to do some hustling, and
they did, with the result that the courts calendar was cleared
for the first time in years, showing that the responsibility for the
congestion was upon the Judges themselves, and there would
have been no hustling then if the judges were as independent as
they will be if the judicial amendment is adopted.
