THE HITCH IN THE PRUDENTIAL TAX

F the city is to get the benefit of a tax income from the large
reserve fund of the Prudential it must win another suit in the
courts. The reserve fund now amounts to $24 900 900, upon
which the assessment would be upward of $750,000. When the
Court of Errors and Appeals recently decided that the fund was
assessab1e as part of the ratables of Newark there was much graf
ulation in the city government. But there was a fly in the judicial
ointment. The State insurance commissioner since the decision
was rendered has officially recognized the reserve fund as a liability
to be included among the exemptions of the company. In former
reports the State insurance department did not take the reserve
fund into account as a liability, a fact that was mentioned
IN the courts decision. In this years report the fund is
treated as a liability. Upon this action is based a claim of exemp
ton in the light of the Errors Courts decision. Whether the refer
cnce in the decision to the omission by the State insurance com.
missioner has any vital bearing on the case is for the court to
nay, The new hitch is serious, for it upsets the calculations of the
citys financial officers, and if taken to the courts will cut off at
least for this year a very large income that had been confidently
reckoned on.

Bradley Beach bathing.
Editor Of the Evening Star:

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
May | be permitted to say a word
in connection with the proposed bath
ough Council of Bradley Beach. which
ordinance was passed on first reading
at the meeting of the council last Mon
day night? The ordinance is the OUT
growth of the efforts which have beer
made for several years by the pro-
prietor of a bathing pavilion on the
beach to compel the bathers to con-
tribute to his revenue by using the
bathing houses owe which be presides.
The latter believes that II he can Sc
cure the passage of an ordinance pro-
hibiting the bathers from going from
their homes to the beach in bathing
clothes they will be forced to patroniza
his pavilion and use his bathing rooms,
if not his bathing clothes.
The proposition to shut off the bath
ing at moor on Sunday is, as you WISE
ly remarked in your editorial. a fool
ish one. Practically all of the do
mestics employed in the homes of the
summer residents are unable to bathc
during the forenoon on Sunday.
The present prosperity of the borough
of Bradley Beach is due to the coming
of summe residents. many of whom
have bought or built their summer
homes there, attracted by the beauti-
full beach and by the freedom from the
irksome and puritanical restrictions
common to some of the adjoining re-
sorts. AS a rule, the y~ear-round resi-
dents of the orough-"natives," al they
prefer TO be called-do not patfonize
the bathing beaches to any extent.
The summer people. who practically
support the borough, are the ones VIII
go in for the surf bathing, and not
the natives. but it is the so-called
natives who now desire to take from
the summer people the very privileges
which attracted them to the place and
induced them to invest In borough
property. The claim is made by the
advocates of the proposed ordinance
that the sight of people in bathing at
tire shocks the delicate sensibilities OF
the n~on-bathers. Why is 1t immoral
and indecent to battle IN the ocean on
Sunday afternoon and good form 10

WAND. Gas-Ratc INQUIRY.


To the Editor OF the Evening star:
When is the Public Utilities Commis-
sion going to do something about in
v~estigating the general rates charged
for electric light, power and gas in this
State?
Isn't it an amusing thing to hear the
Governor and others talking from the
platform about the beauty and he
effectiveness of the progressive legisla-
ton placed on the statute books last
winter when the most important piece
of legislation adopted Is so far only an
ornament The fight to put the Re-
publican organization out in New Jer-
sey was merely a fight to get a public
utilities law. The corrupt practise act,
the Geran law and the rest of the VIII
son program (the employers liability
law was drawn by a commission APP
pointed by Fort) are as unimportant as
the fitting wind: they touch not the
lives of the people; the Geran law Is an
instrument to let the professional re-
former have more sway, a thing he will
soon tire of and forget, and then de-
mand something else, But the public
utility law is of a different nature. The
demand for that was general and gen.
uine. We have it. But, what's the
use? Governor Wilson has a man on
the board whom he owns body, soul
and breechec" Has there been any at
tempt to find out If the rates charged
for light and power are just and rea-
sonable? Everybody knows there has
beer none. We are Their satisfied to
pay two or three points more in our tax
rate in each municipality for the Geran
law and the satisfaction of hearing
Wilson and some professional reform
ers talking about 1t, while the public
utility board sits back and draws its
salary.
Talkfests are all right in their way,
but when it is all talk, talk, talk, what
boots 1t? The people who pay the piper
don't give a d. for all this hot air.
Here is what they do want:
Reduction In light rates.
Reduction in power rates.
There Is no use arguing here as tt
whether they are too high or not.
Everybody knows that they are. Yours
sincerely. ONE WHO PAYS.

ENoPMiTY OF CUSTOMS FRAUDS.

I'D EVELATIoNS in New York in regard to importations for
I'm many years show that in all important lines of importa-
tons the government has been systematically and enor-
monsly swindled by importers, and generally with the aid of cor
lupted employees in the customs house. The last trail struck is
that of the importation of furs. When the sugar trust wis ex-
posed few suspected that there had been losses of n millions for the
government in eyaded duties on works of art, jewelry, dress goods,
furs, etc. The total loss to the government in the last five years
would probably be enough to pay the cost of the Panama canal.
And while commercial knaves in New York and foreign ports have
been plundering the government of millions the American people
have kept right on paying the tariff taxes in their necessaries and
little Injuries. They are the ultimate victims, for every stolen dol
lar finally comes out of their pockets.
