ton growers that would pour into
the business, and in two years al
least there would be such an enor-
nous crop that prices would 60
lower than ever before, and it would
take years to restore them, for the
simple reason that the new capital
put in the business would be wasted,
and the wreck to industry and the
diversion Of consumption caused by
the former abnormal price, would
have brought such hard times as we
have never heard Of. Does Mr.. Green
know that there are two laws OF eco
Monies that even a Farmers Union
can't repeal? One is that an abnor-
nal scarcity results in an abnormal
production, and that an abnormal
production results in a price far low
er than the preceding level of prices.
In a commodity the production Of a
surplus Of tive-tenths lowers the price
below the common level just forty
five tenths. That is, if the normal
production Of cotton were 10000, 900
bales and the normal price 10 cents,
a surplus Of 100000 bales would
lower the price Of the whole crop to
5 cents. The normal crop is about
thirteen million bales. Suppose Mr..
Green's advice were followed, the
crop was halyed, and the price dou-
bled the first year. Does any man
with sense enough to move about
unguarded believe that anything on
earth could prevent the production
Of twenty-million bale crop in two
years? And does anyone suppose
that twenty-million bale crop would
bring over five cents pound?

AGAINST ISSUING
CAPITAL STOCK
Stakeholder of Morris and SOM
ervilIe Electric Company AL
Ieges irregularities.

That the president and directors of
the Morris and Somerset Electric Com
pany be enjoined from the issuance of
certain shares of capital stock was
asked for by Vreeland, King, Wilson
and L%indabury, as counsel for Peter

Mr.. Stryker, who is one of the di-
rectors and stockholders of the concern,
set forth in the bill that the president
and other stockholders and directors
did issue a false and untrue notice of
the time. in which the stock subscrip>
tons could be given and received by
the company, and such notice was. in
fact, one day prior TO the time author
ized and directed by the board of di-
rectors. The resolution which made
the trouble was passed April 10, 1911.
Mr.. Stryker is the owner of ten
shares of stock and the number which
it was authorized to issue is $50. .
The company was organized June IS.
1907. with a capital stock of $500, 900 of
the usual par value of $100 a share.
The board of directors was originally
composed of nine members, including
Mr.. Stryker. but there is n vacancy.
With Mr.. Stryker on the board are the
president, Samuel H. Gillespie. J. Muir
ray Forbes. Eugene E. Burke, f. Ian
don Humphreys, Samuel S.. Child. Cliff

as companies of the other towns, was
the only one to respond. Arrangements
were made by telephone for farmers
along the route to lend their horses for
relays in9dragging the heavy chemical
engine, and the Burlington f1re-fghters
arrived shortly after A o'clock to find
the villagers making a brave stand
against the fire.
Judicious use of the chemical extin-
guishers kept the flames subdued at
the spots where other buildings were
most in danger. But for the bravery OF
a company of young men who rushed
into the blazing hardware store of
Isaac Brown and carried out several
hundred gallons of oils, paints and
gasoline there would probably have
been an explosion that would have
spread the fire beyond n limits the
firemen could have handled.

TRADE BOARD MAY
FIGHT AUTO FIRE
TRUCK PURCHASE
Special Meeting of Belleville
Body Called to Consider
Project.

Numerous arguments against the adj
visibility of purchasing an automobile
fire truck for the Belleville fire depart
ment will be presented at a special
meeting of the Belleville Board Of
Trade tomorrow night. This meeting
has been called especially to discuss
this question, and there Is a strong
probability that the Trade Board will go
on record against the project and that
Belleville will be flooded with circulars
setting forth reasons why the town.
ship should not at this time be saddle'l
with this proposed additional expense.
The annual meeting of the fire dis
noon, at which the auto truck proposi-
ton and the election of two members
of the Board of Fire Commissioners
will be settled.
Chief among the arguments agains.
the truck is the probable advance in
the Belleville tax rate of from 20 to Is
points which, some of the officials Of
the township claim. will be brought
about if the proposed increased appro-
priations go through. 1t is estimated
that in the event of the adoption OF
the fire improvements the tax rate viii
be probably $2.13 or possibly $2.15. This
Is figuring on an increase in Belleville
valuations this year of from $500, 900 %
$500, 900.
However, such increases In valuation
are not expected by those who are in
a position to know. Last yea the in
crease throughout the township
amounted to $4S2, 600, ut a repetition
of any such amount is improbable, 10
say the least, the opponents of the auto
truck claim.
The Belleville tax rate last year was
s1.S6 in the, fire district and $1.4 out
side the fire limits. 1t is said that if
this years increased valuation reaches
the above amounts the rate would be
about $1.90 or SISSY. This latter IS
excluding the adoption of the extra
fire appropriations.
The total amount to be voted for at
the fire election is $12, 500. Last veal
the amount was $4,000. The cost of the
truck will not exceed, it is thought,
$1,000. The other appropriations are
necessary for the salaries of four per-
manent firemen, the maintenance of
the truck and other incidental ex-
penses entailed by the proposed i'm
provement.
Probably the strongest arguments
that will be advanced at tomorrow
meeting of the trade body will
in relation to Belleville's form of
which is now in the hands
of the Supreme Court, 1t is understood
by some that If the court decides upon
a town that Belleville in it's entirety
will be accorded equal fire protection.
At present, under township law, only
part of the municipality. Is in the fire
district. It is argued that If the fire
truck is bought the taxpayers in the
limits will be assessed for 1t, and
that If the form of government is
those not now in the district
will not be assessed, but will subse-
receive the same benefits from
the truck as all others.
