COST OF GOVERNMENT.

A table in the annual report of the
state board Of equalization of taxes for
1909 shows what it costs the people OF
the various counties to maintain the
public schools and support the county
and municipal governments. For 1909
it was S35, 1853, 941.73, which was an
increase of 81, 1852, 1852 over the pre-
ceding year. Gain in population is not
alone responsible for this great in
crease in local governmental expenses.
and the important question is, where
iSsit to end?
During the last two or three years
assessments have been increased all
over the state, until they shave about
reached the actual values and the tax
rates, which were reduced temporarily
have been going up again. The state
board report says: -" There does not
seem to be an appreciable diminution
in the tax rates, reviewing them in
the average. Many show a slight de-
crease, it is true, but many others
have increased to considerable ex-
tent
If the 81, TIA, 61543 disbursed by the
state is added to the $35, 1853, 941. 70
collected in taxes, for county and
municipal purposes, we have total Of
$42,928, 557.16. But there are receipts
from liquor license fees and other
sources to be added so that the grand
total Of governmental expenditures in
New jersey for the past year will ex-
coed S45,000,000.
The national census to be taken in
June next will show a population of
about 100000 in New Jersey so we
are spending for the support OF the
government--State, county and NUM-
cipal-S18 for every man, woman and
Child in the state. The admonition of
the board of equalization ought to be
needed: TN the ordinary administra-
tion of municipal affairs it should b
the particular care of The financial au-
thorities that the budgets should be
carefully considered and economically
administered
This means the abolition of all sine
cures and the looping off of unneees-
sary expenses. Within few weeks
the work of budget-making VIII begin.
Assessments can be raised no higher,
and if tax rates are to be kept down
it must be by adopting policy of
economy. The.average tax rate in the
state in 1908 was Sl.5474 on the 800.
Last year it was Sl.6665, an increase
OF nearly twelve cents" Trenton

PAssAlC VALLEY SEWER.

The announcement that the Federal
Government and the New York au-
thorities have come to terms in regard
to the building of the proposed Passaic
Valley trunk sewer, will be received
with pleasure b. the Passaic Valley
municipalities who now seem to stand
a good chance of seeing the much
talked-of joint sewer project carried
out.
TIE plan is to build the big sewer
alongside the Passaic River and con-
duct the sewage Of the various NUM-
cipalities to a place on the meadows
south of Newark. where the solid mat
ter is to be separated and taken in
scows to points far out on the ocean
and there deposited.
The liquid matter will be pumped
from tie station on the Newark mead
ows through large conduit under
Newark Bay and under Greenvllle to
point near Robbins Reef in New
York Bay.
Most of the objections of the Federal
and New York authorities were based
on the fear that too much solid mat
ter would be deposited at Robbins
Reef, but under the Arrangement now
made it is agreed that at least tweuty-
five per cent. Of the putrescible matter
contained in The sewage shall be re-
moved before it is discharged into
New York Harbor.
1t is expected that the stipulation
as to the quality of the sewage to be
deposited in New York Harbor will
be confirmed by legislation in Trenton
this winter.

WHILE of course nothing can be
done in the way Of putting ia sewer
laterals during the present inclement
weather, nevertheless property owners
should keep in mind the fact that the
laterals will have to be put in as soon
as the seasons opens and the disposal
bed is ready. A large number of
houses are now sewering directly or
indirectly in the streams running
through the town and in many cases
the state board Of health has served
notice upon the property owners that
the pollution of streams must cease
within three months. The local board
Of health has taken up the matter
with the state board and have the as
surance that no prosecutions will he
instituted before the sewer plant is in
operation. To make the sewer con-
nections in the town some twenty-five
or thirty miles of pipe must be put in,
and it will all have to be done at about
the same time. This will mean that
a tremendous lot of digging will be 60
ing on in all parts of the town unless
some arrangements are made by which
the work on certain streets shall be
taken up together. The various con-
tractors should get together and work
in harmony, thus saving expense to
town and annoyance to the public to
a large degree.

GAME Commissioner b. G. Kuser
wants to have game wardens excepted
from employees under Civil Service
rules. He thinks that the wardens
should have some knowledge of game
and of the locality where they are to
serve. He wants to have the game
laws amended so that the license for
nonresident gunners may be reduced
from $40 to SIS for residents of states
which impose a fee of but S. on New
Jersey gunners. He wants to have all
state reservations closed TO gunners
and to have a state game farm for
stocking purposes, and he proposes an
annual license fee of 800 for pound
net fishermen.

PuBLfc SCHOOL, spoRrs.

Following the deaths of a number of
students, New York physician, after
an exhaustive investigation, has recon-
mended drastic reforms in the system
of public school sports. He pronounces
the attempt to develop boys and girls
by the introduction of much athletics
a fallacious policy. He cites as an ex-
ample among other cases, one where
tive girls played basketball, game
taxing the strength Of the best of
athletes. None was physically fitted
for the contest and all emerged with
their constitutions suffering effects
which may be lasting. There is no
denying the peril Of school athletics
carried to extremes. The law does
not allow the trained przetiyhter to
enter the ring unless he is declared by
a physician to be sound and able to
endure the exactions to be met. Yet

INDIANS 10 KILL. WOLVES.
How Colorado catsssmsn Expect to Pun
an End to ths Pests.


Tough times for timber wolves arc
looming up in the future The latest
scheme fer ridding the White river
cattle country in Colorado Of these
four legged marauders is to let the
Indians do it. And this appears to be
the best notion yet.
When it comes to trapping or shoot
ing wolves and locating their dens an
Indian knows what a white man would
never find out, so now the plan is to
invite the Utes up from the reserva-
ton in the southern part of the state
Of Colorado and their cousins from
over in Utah and turn them loose to
start a wolf massacre in Rio Blanco
and Garfield counties.
The idea originated with Charles r.
Limburg of LeadvilIe, Colo.l promi-
nent cattleman and banker. He has
taken the matter up with the office of
the state game and fish commissioners,
where the possibilities Of his sugges-
ton were recognized at once. Various
schemes have been devised for getting
rid of the big gray wolves which
slaughter so many yearling steers in
the White river country every summer
and SO many deer i'll the winter.
The wolves of the White river TIM
Der country are exceptionally large
and fierce. head of one of them
shows them to have heavy, capacious
jaws and long, keen teeth which look
as if they could snap dogs backbone
in with a single crunch. 1t looks as If
it were up TO the Indians, and it is be-
lieved that they will enjoy the outing
with great pleasure, particularly since
it means getting all the food they want
while they are away from home, with
the chance of bounty money thrown

HIRING or DOCS
TO MATCH GOWNS
London Fad Very Popular Among
Women Of Smart Sci.
PRACTICE GROWING RAPIDLY.

CANNES Are Used For Variety Of Pur-
poses, For Setting off" Dresses,
Driving In Parks, Promenading and
Even For Protection.
Who has the temerity to insist that
there is nothing new under the sun?
The fashionable women of London
now have evolved the idea, which
is obtaining wide popularity, of no
longer keeping dogs in their homes,
but hiring them from shops instead.
In this way, be it known, madame al
ways Is assured of q canine that
matches the color of the gown she
may wear when taking her daily drive
or promenade.
In this way, so the proponents of the
new plan contend, everything that a
dog offers In the way of companion
ship may be obtained, while all the pet
ty Inconvenience attendant on keep
ing one in London house are avoided.
Also it is held that the dog is better
off, because it lives almost wholly
under the care of professional fanciers,
even though the growth of the prac-
tice finally may Danish it from the
comforts Of the best armchair What
ever may be the opinion in the canine
world as to this rather unusual de-
parture the hire system is in vogue.
Three Varieties Usually Selected.
1.-THE practice had it's start some
weeks ago. said the proprietress of
dog shop in the west end of London,
and has grown with such rapidity
that at present average at least four
or five hires week from this little
shop alone: Miniature Yorkshires, Pc
kinese and Pomeranians are the varie
ties usually selected. You see, having
decided on the animal whose color
best suits her dress and style, the Gus
toner, invariably a woman, leaves a
deposit of from one and half to four
guineas (from about So to SGD and de-
parts with her charge. OF course reg
ular customers keep an account for
the very purpose.
my dogs are hired for various pur-
poses. Odd as it may seem, many
women consider just the right colored
canine an indispensable 'setoff' to their
gowns. Others just like to be seen
about with the animals. Others, again,
are women whose fondness for toy
dogs does not quite approximate a de-
sire to keep them, and there are wo-
men, too, who take dogs out with
them for protection, imagining, sup
pose," continued the shopwoman, who
is spinster. that they are less trou-
Bile than a man.
Taken to Luncheon Parties.
customers do not always give their
confidence, of course, but many know
take the dogs out to luncheon parties
CT to the church parade i'll the park,
for Sunday is a great day for hires.
"But. for whatever purpose the dogs
are desired. these feminine customers
always are particular about their color.
Only few days ago a woman drove
up, entered the shop and handed me
q pattern of her dress with the re-
quest, Can you give me dog to
match, please, at onceY She returned
the animal in about four hours. Nat
urally this innovation requires that
watch the fashionable colors closely
and arrange my dogs accordingly
Furs often are difficult, but have
managed splendidly until now, my
only fear being that light blue sud
denly may become the vogue"

THE recent snow falls, the largest
in number of years, have caused con-
siderable Inconvenience to business
men and large expense to the town
in the cleaning of streets. The snow
has been removed to larger extent
than has been the custom in the past
which will make a considerable hole
ia the street appropriation. While
these matters add to the public con-
venience and comfort they also add to
the tax budget.

MAGNETIC SURVEY OF EARTH.
Or. L. A. Bauer Tells Scientists What
Yacht Carnegie Has Accomplished.


Yacht Carnegie Has Accomplished
DR. l.. A. Bauer of the Carnegie in
stitute at Washington, under whose
direction a general magnetic survey Of
the earth has been begun, spoke of the
project the other day during the con-,
vention at Boston of the American AS
ISOLATION For the Advancement of Sci
ence. The Carnegie, vessel of COO
tons from which all iron has been ex-
cluded and having no metals to affect
the compass and other magnetic in
struments, is now on her first trip
and is expected to reach New York
early in 1910.
''rhe work accomplished so far has
been most gratifying" said DR.. Bauer.
''The principal result of value during
the cruise to England was to reveal
systematic error In the navigators
compass charts amounting on the aver
age to about one degree. The general
effect of these errors would be to
throw the track of an Atlantic liner,
when her course must be shaped Who'll
~ by the compass and log. always to
the northward from ten to twenty
miles from the track she aims to fol-
low.
"a popularity Of the errors discov-
cred is that they turn the head of the
vessel always toward the Newfound-
land coast, whether she comes from
the east or the west. Errors Of impor-
tance have also been found in the ex-
listing charts Of the dip Of the mag
netic needle and of the strength Of
the earth's magnetic force"

PEELED to learn lido, the new world
language, in the opinion of Professor
Otto Jesperson of the University Of
Copenhagen, who is a visiting pro-
fessor at Columbia university, in New
York, this year. Professor Jesperson
is an ardent advocate of the new lam
guage-in fact, he is one of the men
who helped to make it. He delivered a
lecture ON it at Columbia university
the other afternoon which attracted
many linguists and faddists.
"The new language said Professor
Jesperson, sis not as rich as English,
as elegant as French, as powerful as
German or as beautiful as Italian,
but it certainly is richer than the
Frenchman's English, more elegant
than the Englishman's French, more
powerful than the Germans Italian
and more beautiful than the Italians

lido is not only the most recent of in
ternationaI language, but the best; not
only the easiest to learn but the most
scientific; not only the best liked
among the professors, but so well fitted
for popular use that Russian and a
