committees of the House and Senate
IN joint meeting today decided that the
place to begin on the retrenchmeni
scheme was by cutting down the $50 1000
asked for to pay for sending the Ma
tiolaal Guardsmen to Washington for
the inauguration.
The Democrats through Assenblylnan
y. B. Moon. OF. Warren, offered an
amendment to cut the $4,000 appro-
priation to $1,000 Martin wanted it
made $4,000 in view of past expert
siaces. Colgate thought $4,000 enough If
more couldn't be secured.
The longest debate of this session fol-
loved the introduction of the proposed
amendments.

Hudson in a eulogy of the First Regi-
rnent. OF Newark, said he believed it
should be sent to Washington. He was
opposed to the Essex. Troop being sent.
The bill was PASSED. providing for
an $1,000 appropriation.

sentlenaen,' said Kenny, but it's moth
ing more than a fine club

We simply haven't the money" said
Mr.. Snlalley,
New Jerseys in a pretty bad way"
said Marlin of Essex. when it can't
raise $500 to support its chief execu-
tive properly at Washington. If you
can't find $4,000 in the appropriations
committee or the judiciary committee
l. respectfully refer you gentlemen to
the fact that railroad first-class prop
erty valuations have advanced for taxa
ton but 30 per cent. in over twenty
years. While other property, the prop
erty of the individual, has been IN
creased $50 per cent. If the State needs
money raise it by seeing railroads pay
their just tax. If you can't raise ss,o 900
ar.y other way borrow it now"
