Too Much Perjury 2

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Having had occasion to visit one of
the local courts recently, I found it
ings were almost closed before my
case was called. One thing particular
ly attracted my attention, and that
was the apparent joke Of swearing a
witness. Although they took the oath
to tell the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth, ETC., several
witnesses fatty contradicted each
other.
When such statements are made it
is very evident that at least one Of
them is false, because they differ so
widely from one another about the
same incident. This fact must be so
palpably plain to the presiding judge
that in my opinion he should immedi-
ately start an inquiry to discover the
falsifer. Everyone knows that false
testimony under oath is plain perjury
and the court officers should prosecute
each case until the oath is as seriously
regarded as it should be.
One of the spectators near me in
the court remarked that his business
took him into court nearly every day,
and the same conditions regarding tes-
timony prevail in all the local courts.
In England they look upon the oath
as a much more serious affair than we
do. There is lore ceremony and much
more weight in taking an oath in that
country and the perjurer is severely
dealt with. In our busy, hustling way
we seem to overlook the fact that a
man telling lies under oath is guilty
of a crime. We should not hold the
oath so cheaply. NOCAB.

pENNA. RAILROAD ELEcTRHycAT1oM.

erH eectrifcation of the whole Pennsylvania railroad system
in New Jersey is part of the plans 0. this great corporation
and it will be effected within five years. The company is now
electrifying the suburban lines and has already made the change
from Harrison to the terminal in. Manhattan. The work now to be
undertaken is the identification of suburban lines running into
Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania now operates cars between Cam
den and Atlantic City by electricity, and the same system will be
introduced on the lines running into the Broad street station, Phila-
aelphia, which is to be greatly enlarged, The suburban electrical
tin will probably be extended TO Trenton and as far as Whining
ton, Del. in the south. When this change is made the coalburninc
locomotive will disappear from the Pennsylvania railroad in New
Jersey. and with it will go other old and familiar features of the old
steam railroad. The power to propel the cars will he obtained from
power stations. There will be no smoke stacks to belch smoke and
sparks upon the air and there will be vastly more cleanliness for
the traveller.

More Than Talk Needed.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
What besides talking has been done
to provide, for a safe and sane Fourth?
Merely discouraging the use of freS
works on the part of the small boy
does no good at all. The only way
seems the way we stopped minors from
buying intoxicating liquors and to-
bacco, and that was to penalize those
selling it. Since that law was passed
no one. with rare exceptions, sells
either of these things to minors.
We could p~enalize the selling of dan
gerous explosives just as easily, and
then we would indeed have a sane and
safe Fourth. The annual toll of death
would be materially decreased, and
then we could nave the feeling of work
we'll DONE. Extreme ailments require
extreme remedies, and no method we
could devise would be too radical for
the wiping out of this entirely unneces-
sary EVIL. WALTER MORGAN.

Gro.. Violation of Law.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
That a number of persons were not
killed at the accident in Clinton street
was not the fault of those who had the
demolition of the building in charge.
That. it seems to me, was a wilful vio-
lation of the law. Fol a contractor to
say that he gave the work in charge
of a young and inexperienced boy does
not excuse him at all. He was given
the work to do, and he was responsible
for the way Ia which it vas don His
statement that the foreman in charge
of the work was young and ignorant
simply makes him more guilty.
If he knew that the foreman was
incompetent why did he hire him fol
such important work? All work ir

II COLD STORAGE FISH THAT poisoNs

IT n an argument before the Senate committee on manufactures
ii an attorney for the fish trust commended that three months
limitation of the storage of fish would ruin the fish business
and prevent consumers in the interior of the country from obtaining
any kind of fish in the winter, as fish are eaught and stored in two
or three spring months TO be kept for the winter demand. The law
yer declared that a fish properly iced for twelve months was as
good as one freshly caught. 1t is well known that an attorney who
is talking to earn a fee doesn't usually keep within the strict bounds
OF truth. but the lawyer in the case did not go quite as far inasser
ton as the president of a fish company, who told the committee that
fish could readily be kept for two years or more and be beautiful"
The commercial greed that stores fish to keep up prices and puts on
the market as fresh fish the halfdecayed storage of a year is fully
equal to this extraordinary lying. DIR. Wiley, the head of the gov
eminent food department, has said that the limit for storage of fish
should not exceed six months, and that all fish not Quilted, placed in
cold storage, contain poisonous decay. The wide prevalence of
stomach troubles in the United States has its cause in the sale and
consumption of unfit food kept for long periods in cold storage
houses. The men who profit by this system rob the community
with extortionate prices and poison the community with halfde
cayed food.

STANDARD OIL TAXES IN new JERSEY.

m S far as the Standard Oil Company is concerned the dissolu.
nv ton of the parent company may make little material differ
ence in the corporation tax receipts in New Jersey. The
Standard Oil Company OF New Jersey. which is the parent company
Of numerous subsidiary concerns, pays a tax to the State of less
than $4,000. The law of The State is that the bigger the corporation
capitalization the less in proportion the corporation has to pay. A
small corporation pays proportionately the higher tax. If the
STANDARD Oil Company shall hereafter conduct its business through
its subsidiary companies, the parent company having disappeared,
these companies may all have New Jersey State charters. In that
event the franchise tax that the company will have to pay will be
much larger than til now.
