ESSEX RATABLES
REPORTED HIGHER
THAN LAST YEAR
Board Will Raise Valuations in
Roseland-- Newark Figures
Not Yet In.

Tax assessors from several of the
municipalities of the county were be-
fore the County Board of Taxation up
to noon today and uniformly reported
increases in the valuations. Newark
and several other municipalities were
not ready with their figures. and their
assessors We're told to call again next
Tuesday. That many of the figures
are considerably larger than last year
was highly satisfactory to the menu
bers of the board. The tax rate, based
on these figures, will not be fixed until
September. Many of the reports pre-
scented today will be gone over by ths
board, and where necessary the valua-
tons will be lacked up.
This is particularly true of Roseland,
against whose assessor, John Fl. M.
Cook. the local board had complained
that he did 10 make certain increases
where they should have been made.
Mr.. Cook explained that there were
always some "kickers'' in connection
with his work. and the board said that
1t would be up to Roseland some day
TO look IL over. His figures showed a
total valuation of 1911, 200, or an in

Mr.. Abbey, regarding whose illness so
little was made public that it was not
until a day or two ago that it was
known that his condition was serious,
underwent an operation for liver trou-
BILE about a month ago. 1t is now
stated that he appeared to be recover
ing from the surgery when, a few days
ago. he suffered a relapse, after which
he slowly sank.
Mr.. Abbey was an author as well as
an artist. and wrote a large number of
books on art and kindred topics,
As Mr.. Abbey neared his end his
greatest triumph. the mural paintings
for the Pennsylvania Capitol. left the
shores Of England, where they have
been acclaimed by critics as the great
est artistic achievement of modern
times. to be left in the care of the
people of his native State and to i'm
mortalize his name,
Each effort during the nearly sixty
years of his existence was begun
with a new vision. with past accom-
plishment forgotten. Accordingly the
world justly hailed each new canvas
as his greatest achievement.

"Sweet-oil" characteristics that keep the
Skin in Satin-like, unUrinkled condition.
Wrinkles, you know are chiefly due
to a "~drying-out" of the skin.
And that ~"drying-out" is due, in most
cases, to the actions Of Soaps which
parch the skin through their alkaline
excess.
Resinol Soap produces a rich, creamy,
bland lather that softens even hard

This s~oftening lather lasts long
enough to thoroughly massage the Skin

Skin smooth as velvet and ward of

BRITISH CRISIS AT HAND.

The British parliament has begun
what is generally conceived to be the
most important session since 1892. AS
a matter OF fact, the veto bill. which
will be pushed at once, is a measure
Of wider moment and Of more far
reaching Importance than the reform
bin. No time will be wasted by the
Asquith government in sending the
bill to the lords II provides that the
house Of lords shall have no power of
veto over financial legislation, and
that any measure which shall have
passed the commons at three success
i've sessions shall become law without
the consent Of the lords.
From the attitude of the Liberal
cabinet the government coalition is
tightly sewn up and there is nothing
to fear in the way Of desertion by
either Irish or Labor allies. The gov
eminent has agreed to the passage Of
several labor measures, as the terms
of the Labor support. As to the Ma
tionalists, their interest will hold them
true to the combination and home
rule has been in every Liberal plat
form for the past 25 years. so the
program is the veto bin now and

business this week and the introduce

GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.

If the legislature does not get down
to real business pretty soon it will be
fairly i'm the way of making a record
that will not please the people at all
This Legislature occupies a peculiar
position. II was elected in a campaign
whose general feature was a fat prom
Use of efficiency economy, eIimina-
sary offices. and progress and good
business policy in state affairs To
date it would appear that the legis-
lature has been chiefly engaged in
squabling over the house and senate
jobs and whether 'junkets" can be
continued without the people know
ing that they are "junkets." Perhaps
these manifestations are merely indi-
cations OF marking time while the
large subjects OF legislation are being
prepared for discussion and action:
nevertheless they do not make a ia
vorable impression upon the public
1t is time for the lawmakers to get
down to business. Speaker Baker is
showing a determination to hold the
members of the house to a straight
course and has exhibited unusual
courage and backbone against OPPOSE
ton in his important position. Mem
bers who understand that this Iegis-
lature is expected to show that cam
paign promises were not empty sound
should stand by the speaker. The lat
ter should not lose sight of the fact
that the Republican party is on trial
upon its record at this legislative ses-
sion a large part of next years state
will he waged. The party
promised to reform certain abuses that
have grown up. While the junkets and
jobs are of themselves of
no great moment, OF course, still the
Importance the Legislature seems to at
tach to them, the obvious reluctance
with which IL resists straightforward
attempts TO better conditions in this
regard, are ominous of disappointing
lction when the greater questions of
reform are reached.
The voters expect the legislators to
Iuit their fooling and get down to
business without wasting any more
lime.
