Crangers win Not Approx,


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
During the past week I a had an
opportunity to calmly consider the &C
ton of the Senate in voting down the
Prince bill which, If passed, would
have given TO the a~utomobilists OF this
State reciprocity with other States,
adjoining and in that way saved the
enormous sums of money now paid
by citizens of New Jersey to New
York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts
and other States; and, on the other
hand, would have turned part of this
money saving into the treasury of the
State Of New Jersey to be spent on
the repair and upkeep of New Jerseys
roads,, which need it so badly.
This bill, if passed, would have in
creased the derived from
automobile license fees so per cent.
which would probably have yielded ap-
proximately $1,000 600 during the year
1912.
In voting against this bill I cannot
understand how the Senators from ru-
Tdl COuIll.tSi SuCH do cGlldIOlS 1dbies
Brown and Silzer represent, can justi-
fly themselves with their constituents
Senator Caunt in his speech on the
floor of the Senate stated in substance
that the automobiles wanted every
thing but were not willing to give any,
thing. The bill was Immediately
amended by Senator Edge providing
for a so per cent. increase in license
fees to take effect January 1, 1912, in
order to meet Senator Gaunt's criti-
cism in which other Senators had con
Cured. The need of the State for
more money to spend on its roads was
pointed out and still, when this oppor-
tunity for the farmers to get that
which they were seeking, namely, more
money, was given, these rural Sena-
tors voted against the measure. 1t is
incomprehensible and / know when the
matter is fully understood by the
grangers throughout the State 1t will
be difficult for these Senators to make
satisfactory u
Senators Edge. Prince and Osborne
deserve the greatest praise for the hard
work they did in trying to pass the
measure. The discussion lasted prac'
tically the entire afternoon Of the clos
ing day of the Senate, and l cannot
speak too highly of the good work done
by these Senators as well as of all
those Senators who, during these ex-
citing moments of the closing hours
of the session, did not lose their heads
and bllndly follow the leader of one
faction or another but who them
selves saw the justice of this measure
and voted for it's passage, the final vote
being a tie, 10 to 10, Senator Bradley
not voting.

More Long Waits for Cars.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
1t seems to the writer and to a score
of other people who waited last night
on the corner of Bank and Broad streets
twenty minutes to get a car to the cir
Gus grounds that very poor judgment is
used by the Public Service in handling
emergencies. When an attraction large
enough to occupy the circus grounds is
playing in this city it is a w~ell-known
fact that large numbers of people will
go to it from all parts of the city.
II point in Newark would it nat
urally be supposed the greatest crowd
would come from? For twenty minutes
last night a score of people waited at
the Broad and Bank centre for a
Roseville car. That wait is altogether
too long under ordinary circumstances,
/ should judge, but on a night like last
1t is preposterous. Two cars, ready to
start from Broad and Bank streets
every five minutes would have been the
proper thing. A WAITER.

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY NOW.

oTa HE last important bill of the session, the Senate bill for en-
ployers' liability, TO enable employees to obtain a fixed COM
pensation in case of injury in their employments, has now
been signed by the Governor, In all probability this bill will be
taken TO the courts for adjudication as soon as possible, ana there
fore there may be a delay of more than a year before it is. definitely
ascertained whether the act is constitutional and operative. This
is the first important labor bill of any real benefit to labor that has
been passed by the New jersey Legislature. Labor enactments IN
The past were merely tubs thrown to the whale. Year after year the
legislative committee of the State Federation of Labor has haunted
the lobbies of the Legislature to get bills passed, and to no prac-
rcal purpose. The employers liability bill was not Influenced IN its
passage to any extent by the representatives of organized labor at
rrenton. Its inspiration was an aroused conscience in the State
that revolted against the principle of the old law, which meant
that the Iaborer should take all the risk Of employment and be held
TO have Voluntarily contracted to assume these risks when he was
employed.

SILLY COMMENT ON NEW JERSEY AFFAIRS.

@AUR esteemed Philadelphia contemporary, the Record, makes
w frequent comment upon affairs in New Jersey and some.
times with a vague idea of the subject treated. For ex
ample, the Record says: New Jersey insists upon her right to re
tain her potable water for her own use and the use of her citizens
exclusive of neighbor States and their citizens. Why should not
New Jersey also acknowledge her duty TO make a proper disposition
of her contaminated waste water and not insist upon conducting
the mess over into a neighbor States front yard?" The simplicity
of this query excites a smile. AS to her potable waters, New Jerseys
policy is precisely the same as that of any other welEgoverned State
that conserves its natural resources. The waters of New Jersey
are limited in quantity and the State has been warned that the
limit of visible supply will be reached in a few years. Is it then
reprehensibe for the State to protect its waters from the selfish
commercialsm of outsiders, who would for private profit drain the
watersheds to supply foreign customers? If the Record had better
knowledge of the situation it would know that New Jersey does
not propose to drain into anybodys front yard, but into New der
sey waters of New York bay. Moreover, while New York city dis
charges into the bay enormous volumes of crude sewage New Jr-
seys plan Is to treat the sewage, remove all solid matter and dis
charge the efiuent forty feet under the waters of the bay within
Eew Jersey jurisdiction

SHALL PA TERsoN LONGER DISTRICT?

1TNHE welfare Of the whole Passaic valley depends upon the
cleansing of the Passaic river, which has been delayed Tor
fifteen years, since the first sewerage commission ia created
Nv The Legislature. The condition of the river was then
intoIerable. 1t is infinitely worse at this time. If there a dan
ger then there is much greater danger now. Property interests
along the Passaic have been damaged to the extent of millions of
dollars By the great river nuisance. The chief offender Is Paterson,
and that city. with stupid obstnacy, has for many years obstructed
The construction of a sewer and is seeking to evade an imperative
duty 10 herself as well as her n%eighboH. Having practised a deceit
unon the sewerage commissions. Paterson now attempts to hood
wink the Court of Chancery. The course pursued by the nn VINO
Jun Paterson's affairs is not Of a character to give the city any
standing in al equity court: and shall one backward town be per-
mitted any longer to stand in the way of a too. long delayed work
Of vital public necessity? Is the selfish convenience OF paterson OIL
greater moment than the welfare of the Passaic valley?

coMM1ssIoN GOVERNMENT ELECTION VOTE.

IT n the special election on constitutional amendments in 1909 the
total vote cast was 1854, as compared with 32,293 votes in
the election for governor in 1910. As 1851 votes polled in the
special election were rejected, the vote counted was only 1880, or
less than 20 per cent. of the vote in the State in 1909. In Essex county
the total vote counted was 1879, as against 79,267 for governor
last year. or a little more than 20 per cent. In former special cleo
tions the percentage of the vote poHed was even smaller. The com
mission act requires that in any special election for the adoption
of the act the vote must be 80 per cent. of the vote cast in the
election in the previous year. 1t was proposed by a Senate amend.
ment to the act that 40 per cent. of the previous years election vote
should be required. which provision undoubtedly would make many
commission government elections in the State fail of their object.
As it is. much effort will be necessary in the special elections to
bring 80 per cent. of the voters to the polls, for all the machinery
of the political parties will be idle.

MAY DAY AND LABOR.

Mi AY l has lost much of its significance as labor-strike day.
IVA In this country wages and hours generally are satsfac-
torily adjusted and there is no occasion for a May 1 labor
demonstration of strength. The average of wages in the United
States is much higher than i'll the most favored country of Europe,
and while the cost Of living is considerably higher here than in
Europe the American workman is much the better of. The aver
age wage today in the Unitel States is the highest in the nations
history. In Europe May Day also has a political significance. 1t
is the appointed time for social discomfort to manifest itself. But
there are no indications this year of any unusual agitation.

Just a Line
About Men
You Know

At g table in a cozy Orr Of the big
restaurant of one of New York great
department stores yesterday sat two
men, former Altoonans. enjoying lunch
con done in good old%-fashioned Penn
~sylvania style, each celebrating an ar
n~iversary. Here's they reminisced-
talked Of the early days in their old
home town, Altoona, Pa; of conditions
then and now, of their early experience
there, which led on to success In the
greater city. They compared notes,
congratulated one another, and hoped
that they would celebrate many more
anniversaries.
One of these gentlemen celebrated
the sixteenth anniversary of his advent
in Newark. That one vas Theodore S.
Fettinger.
The other gentleman celebrated the
sixteenth anniversary of his advent into
the advertising field. and this was VIII
r. Hotchkin.
Mr.. Fettinger has for the last SIX
years been with Hahne G. Co. Mr..
Hotchkin is now advertising director Of
the great Gimbel store in New York.
Both have attained prominence in their
particular field. Both believe they are
growing no older, despite the fact that
sixteen years have elapsed sine they
broke from their mornings.
And thus Mr.. Fettinger and Mr..
Hotchkin have celebrated man, ami
versarles. Thus they xpect to cele-
brate man. more.

the extreme west end of the city.
After the man had made the long trip
to the Court House and waited about
three hours for the case to be called
he was placed on the witness stand,
was asked just two questions and dis
missed.
Turning to Meyers in disgust he said:
"Why didn't you tell me hat was all
you wanted from me. I could have
told the u that over the telephone
and saved half a days time"
Judge William P. Martin, in his first
months experience on the bench, has
shown that he i'll not allow any
trifing with the dignity of his court.
and woe betide the unlucky lawyer who
steps over the line Of defined court
procedure.

youngsters just starti' in are l,ble

down the old-timers harder than he

IS for the opposing lawyers to both be
on their feet at the same time or to
make sarcastic remarks about each
other.

Don't add to your troubles the inconvenience of doing without a Telephone.
 There is no department of business, professional or in- dustrial life in which it is not an essential part.
 No community, however small, can enjoy the full ad- vantages of modern life with out including the Telephone. By its use to the needs of humanity 1t has proved its claims to rank as one of the necessaries of life.
 The farmer who wants to make his farm more profit able and life more pleasant for his family should have a Telephone in his home. NEWARK TE EPH0NE
