BUTTERFLIES.


The balny air of spring has come
With Easter season gone,
The homely moths must soon begin
Their duh cocoons to weave and spin
Around the %chrysalis within
Then latch their summer spawn.
They rob the crocus of IT'S gold,
The sun of brilliant rays;
The hyacinths and tulips, too,
Are mixed with blooms of every hue,
They garner in the early dew
Mid Flora's fairy maze.
And, thus enrolled, enchanting FORMS,
In fascinating whirls.
Come from cocoons forbidding, gray
Costumed in myriad color gay
Fair houris. on mankind to prey
Be Witching Summer Girlsi

Cornish Makes Good When IT Comes
to the Showdown on Finance Bill
Senator from Warren Fools His
Own Side as Well as the
Republicans.

NXf HEN his years session of the
wv Legislature first began, you
could hear nothing but finance
talked wherever YOU went. For that
matter you still hear a good deal of it,
but most in the past tense now At
first. though, every one was wondering
what was going to be done. All admit
ted that the State was up against it i'll
q fashion terrible to contemplate. There
was going to be a deficit, the State
would be disgraced and there was GO
ing to be an awful time generally.
Plans for saving the State honor were
cropping up by the dozen. Pet schemes
came out and received an airing that
no one, not ever their originators, ever
thought they would get. Folks got SO
adept in talking in millions that il
seemed scarcely worth while to think OF
mere dollars or even hundreds of dol
lars.
Things went along that way for some
time. Every knew just what ought
TO be done, but no one did anything, ex-
cept talk, until Senator Hillery procured
the adoption of a resolution providing
for a committee to study the situa-
ton and find out If there were
not q looohole through ! which the
State could crawl. Naturally enough
the makeup of that committee was in
the main Republican. There were five
members, and, according to custom, two
were Observation-Disclosures Johnston
Cornish. OF Warren. and John Hinch-
life. of Passaic.
The committee delyed. 1t sat up
nights hunting for enough dollars To
get the State out OF its trouble. Finally
the report was completed and present
ed to the Senate 1t was q distinctly Re-
publican remedy e~mbodying the diver
sion of the money due the schools from
mainstem railroad taxes that had been
fought repeatedly and continuously by
the Democratic minority. yet the report
bore the signatures of the two Demo
cratic members of the committee.
There was Republican rejoicing and
Democratic dispair when the fact be
came Known. The Republicans counted
on the two Democratic votes to the
end, and the other side gave up theiI
schismatic colleagues as lost irretriev-
ably. But that was where both sides

A STATE SURPLUS souANDeReD AND REPLACED

If the s250oWO of annual railroad tax school revenues held in the State
treasury for eight months afer November / M a year OF more after he money
has been paid by the railroad companies belongs to the schools. 10 can it be
used as a working balance" by the State? Money belonging to the muniipah-
ties or schools in he custody of the treasur is money held in trust, I'M cannot
be used by n treasury to pay its current expenses. When the law authorizes
the use of this money as a working balance the money no longer belongs to
the schools; it belongs to The treasury The plain English of the new law is
that hi State administration appropriated outright a whole years railroad la
revenue belonging to III public schools. The surplus of ST. 5m0 squandered by
the Legislature has TO- been replaced by another surplus of $25oo0N, taken
