The People 5 Rostrum


Association of Newark has also IN"
dorsed the measure, and the Clinton
Hill Improvement Association has gone
Il step further n is on record as
favoring the repeal of the twenty-year
limited franchise law. extending the
time generally to forty years, for the
express purpose of obtaining better
trolley facilities.
When the people understand fully the
provisions of this measure l am abso-
lutely sure that they will give it their
unqualified approval. The purpose OF
the bill is to give to the Board Oh
Works, subject to the approval OF the
Mayor, the owe to authorize the
making of connecting links between
existing tracks for a period not to
coed fifty years, subject to the APP
prevail of the Public Utilities Commis-
sion. which commission, under the new
law recently passed, is given absolute
control Of all such franchises.
The Board of Works and the Mayor
are elected directly by the people; ana
if the people cannot trust the Board
of Works and the Mayor to faithfully
and properly represent them in a mat
ter of this kind. who can be trusted?
In addition to the Board of Works
and the Mayor the Public Utilities
Commission must give it's approval be-
fore such grant is valid, and with these
safeguards the rights of the people are
amply protected.
In the city of Newark, the ~inadequacy
of the trolley service has been well
known for the past five years or more;
and a year ago Trolley Inspector CraW-
ford filed with the Board of Works a
sketch showing a proposed method of
relieving the frightful congestion on
Broad street and Market street. This
sketch is a public record and can be
seen by anybody; and it is TO meet the
urgent necessity that has existed so
long in Newark with respect to proper
and satisfactory trolley service that my
bill was introduced.

Mr. Lee Defends Trolley Hill.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Assembly bill No. 219, which | intro
duced on February "A, was introduced
in tho interest of the people living in
the congcsted districts of the cities of
this State who are compelled to use
trolley cars.
The imaginary district which l repre-
sem is in the heart of the city of New
ark. and this question has been one
of vital importance to the citizens of
that city for many years. 1t is all very
well for people who can afford to ride
in automobiles and carriages. and who
are not obliged to use the trolley car,
to talk about abstract principles; but
what the people want and demand is
adequate and satisfactory trolley serv-
ice, and my bill was introduced for the
sole purpose of giving such service to
the people. The Board of Trade of the
city of Newark has indorsed this bill,
and | have in my possession an official
communication from the board to that
effect. TheN South End Improvement

MAJ ORE intelligent interest in State legislation is shown in the
AVN Newark community than in any other in the State. In
many sections the interest is practically nil. In the rural
districts, served by the weekly papers, the legislative proceedings are
scantiy and carelessly reported once IL week, and there is no eX
PLANTATION or criticism of legislative measures. Not much attention
is given in Camden and other cities south of Trenton TO legislative
dongs. except when some local issue is involved. 1t was observed
of the delegations that visited Trenton three years ago to boom
local prohibition, that few of these people had any knowledge of
the legislation of the session. Their knowledge was confined exclu-
siyely to the local option bill. In Jersey City and Hoboken the
comparative few read the legislative reports. One reason for the
public interest in Newark is the fact that the greater part of the
important business of every legislative session affects Newark in
terests. either directly or indirectly, but The civic spirit of our city
which keeps such close tab on local public affairs, chiefly ex
plains why the business of a Legislative session is always much
closer watched and better understood here than in any other com
munity in the State.

THE END OF THE SESSION TOMORROW.

11a he Legislature is slated for adjournment tomorrow, and,
whatever may be the outcome. the public will feel relieved
when adjournment comes. The session has been a most
ingorious one from the start. It's motive in the beginning was to
do nothing. That, at least, was the program of the men who pull
the legislative strings In an important political year, they held,
sius of omission were more pardonable than sins Of commission.
But the large corporations were not rcckoncd with at that time.
These interests supply the sincws Of war in Il campaign. EFFICIENCY
brought them into play, and they found willing and Jealous
seryitors, especially in the Senate. y listless. donothing session
was then transformed into an active and vicious one. The State
House swarmed with attorneys and lobbyists, and the inevitable
scandals appeared. But the legislative nightmare is nearly over
aud relief may be expected tomorrow.

IT 7 has never been understood why and how the positive charges
by four members of the North Arlington Council that they
had been offered brides of $500 each to vote for an ordinance
for Turner A. Beales water company were suppressed. Nortn
Arlington is in Bergen county, of which Wakelee is the senator,
aud the Bergen prosecutors duty was TO prosecute these charges;
but they have dropped out of sight. There has been no grand jury
inquiry ant no prosecution. Bergens senator has been engaged
for several weeks in efforts to kill the McCran antiwaterdiversion
bill for the benefit of Turner y. Beale's water company. 1t the lid
could be lifted the mystery of the water company pull in Bergen
county and at Trenton might be revealed.

HE JONES "CHARTER"EoR NEWARK APPEARS

1Ta He Jones charter for the city of Newark, ordered by the Essex
County Republican Committee and furnished on a weeks
notice. was fayorably reported in the House last night. The
impudence of this partisan attempt TO anticipate the work o Il
regularly appointed charter commission and force upon the city a
hastily patched-up instrument that the public knows nothing about
never asked for and doesn't want, passes comprehension The
province of a county political committee is to regulate party affairs.
Such committee frequently NEEDLES unHarrantedly in matters of
county and municipal government, but it goes away beyond the
limit of public patience when it sets up to make a charter for the
city of Newark, even while Il municipal commission is at work
completing the draft of a charter. If the introducer of the charter
bill was not so very serious, the performance might be taken as
n Joke.

A VETO IN FAVOR OF HOME RULE.

TT n vetoing a bill increasing the salaries of members of the At
lantic City fire department Governor Fort gives voice to the
general condemnation of the legislative practise of fixing arbi
trarily and without consent of the municipalities the pay of munich
pal employees as a gross violation of the principle of home rule
The bill vetoed had a referendum, but, as the Governor points out,
il only the merest fraction of the citizens vote in n special election
a majority of that fraction fixes The salaries. But the munich
paities should be left to attend to their local affairs, including
salaries, without meddesome interference from Tr4nton.

MATTE MOUSE'S SURPRISE.

0vIIE stories about mice had amused Ethel. Her
father told her another one last night, and here
it is:
One day when the sun was shining warm, and Waf1es,
the cat. who spent most of his time around the barn,
was quietly sleeping on the back fence, little Matte
Mouse went out in search of a nice big piece of apple.
First she had to climb the tree and make sure that
Waf1es was asleep and that Rover, the big dog, was out
of sight, and that there was nothing in the way to
bother her.
Her mother had told her time and time again to be
careful and keep her eyes open SO that Wan1es and
Rover could not get hold of her, and she also told her
always to keep ole eye looking up at the sky to see if
any birds were coming along, for sometimes birds ate

\ good bill to defeat was the asinine
bill to throw open the crowded State
insane hospitals to "drunks." There are
more cases of lunacy in New Jersey
than the State can provide for, and the
Legislature is constantly beset with re-
quests for appropriations to build addi-
tions. The demand is now for a new
State asylum in South Jersey. If the
bill which has been defeated was made
a law, conditions in the State hospitals
be well-nigh hopeless.
