The railroad Ia act OF 1906, by which the taxes on railroad main stem prop
cryw were increased from $4,000 to nearly $a5ooooo, and the taxes OF second
class railroad property from s6600t tt nearly 81 200 900 a total OF about $G000O00

Assembly by Randolph Perkins, of Union county. In recommending the repeal
of this act and the imposition of a direct State tax oil al property Governor
Fort said the C OF 1906 vas passed entirely Tor the purpose of benehtng the
railroads in the matter of taxation" In view of the results of thu act, the
assertion has added to the general bewndernent that has obtained eversi since
the State financial question vas projected upon the Legislature in a special
message Mr.. Perkins naturally has a reply to make, and he speaks for the
entire vote of both houses of the Legislature, with nut a single exception in
1906, as we'll Is for Governor Forts predecessor in office. We're these men con-
spirators against the State, or merely the dummies of consprators? Every
newspaper in the Estate apphuded the at OF. 1906. Were they in the conspiracy

When 1t Comes to Sticking to a Measure
Senator Hand Goes to Head of the Class
Gentleman from Cape May Coun-
ty Stays With His Bills
to the Finish.

wv HEN the Whitla kidnapping
wv was giving the newspapers
first page stories every day and
1t looked as if the case would take its
place among unsolved mysteries, every
one said that in New Jersey there
should be some good hot legislation
enacted to make sure that kidnappers
passed by on the other side. The leg
islators got the fever, which was a
pretty good sign, because a legislator
does not ordinarily begin to think of
things until everyone else has forgotten
them.
But this time they remembered. The
only trouble was to see who could get
a bill across before they found the
Whitla boy and spoil everything. In
the House Assemblynan Clark intro
duced a resolution asking the attorney
generals Office to draw up a bill MAX
ing the extreme penalty for kidnapping
death, and everyone sat back and wait
ed to see what would come of it.
In the Senate they were not doing
much about it, knowing that the House
was looking after it, and there were
other things occupying their attention
then, anyway. All except Senator
Robert e. Hand. of Cape May county.
Without any warning and after no con-
sulting at all with the encouragement
he produced a bill that summarily dis
posed of ki~dnappers as soon as caught,
putting the State to the expense of but
a few hundred volts of electricity. OF
course, the kidnappers had to be tried
first. but the penalty was the main
thing.
The bill did not come up until a day
OIL two ago, and then they killed It,
That was not Senator Hands fault
though. He did all there was to be done
to get it through. He even offered to
hang ~kidnappers himself for nothing if
they would pass his bill. but they
