by the Governor This
Session.
from a STAR Correspondent,

TRENTON, March 15.-As the 1850
session of the New Jersey Legislature
draws to a close II seems more
certain, say close political observ-
ers here, that Governor Fort VIII re-
appoint David Baird, of Camden. to
succeed himself as member Of the
State Board of Assessors. 1t it unlike
iy. however, that Mr.. Baird will be
named previous to the last hours of
the session, for reason that the gov
ernor is determined to stick to his an :
nounced purpose OF holding back all of
his appointments until the State finan-
cial problem is solved.
For the first time in many years Mr..
Baird has absolutely. retrained from
mixing UP in Legislative affairs. He
has been in Trenton but once since the
Legislature convened, having spent the
past several weeks in the South and
on the Pacific coast.
- Jess and Colby.
Another important appointment to be
made by Governor Fort is a successor
to former Judge E. Amber Armstrong.
of Camden, as member of the State
Board for the Equalization of Taxes
Judge Armstrong has resigned to take
effect March 81 next. IT Is expected
that former Assemblyman Frank E.
Jess, of Camden. viii succeed to the
place TO become vacant by Judge Arm
strong's resignation.
Mr.. Jess is at present chief examiner
of the State Civil Service Commission.
II he is appointed as an equalization
commissioner his place with the Civil
Service Commission will probably be
filled by Gardner Colby.

House John D. Prince Of Psssaic, who
Is himself an aspfrant for the Reprib-
siican nomination to succeed Senator
FIinchliffe next year, will become act
ing governor In the event OF the gov
er1nor being absent from the State any
time after the Legislature adjourns.
The governor will have to choose a
successor TO Samuel w. Kirkbride, Of
Aebury Park, aS supervisor of the State
prison. There will also be twenty-one
appointments Of members of the county
boards for the Equalization of Taxes,
In case the Legislature does not abolish,

of what win be done with the rules, the
greatest solicitude upon the part OF

ming when the senate convened at ten
o'clock Beverage talked about four
hours. and was followed by Bailey at
almost as great length. NewIandS

BeveFidge'S discourse was on an
amendment by him regarding the size
of tobacco packages. He cOntended
that while the size of the packages
had been reduced during the Spanish
American war, with the view of COM
polling the purchaser to pay the war
tax. those sizes had never been re-
stored, nor the prices reduced, not
withstanding the removal OF the tax,
thus practically giving the tobacco
manufacturers, especially the tobacco
trust. an advantage of tax, even
though it had not been IN operation
in the last nine years He asserted
the trust has Influenced legislation for
this purpose. and was being benefited
millions yearly.
Bailey talked about free raw ma
terial for the purpose of justifying his
vote as a Democrat against the free
entry of iron ore lumber and hides.
Newlands gave attention to the in
come tax question, devOtinS especial
consideration to Taft's recommends
lions for a corporation tax. He quot
ed legislation on various cases and
suggested that a tax applying only to
