THE RUNYON ASSESSMENT.

The Middlesex county tax board
got a pretty hard jolt in the action
of the State Board of Equalization Of
Taxes reducing the assessment on
the buildings at the city water works
plant at Runyon. The plant was
assessed at $4,000 and that county
tax board, in an effort to show its
authority, deliberately raised the
assessment to $4,000. This the
state board has rejected, placing the
assessment back at $4,000. Just
what prompted the county board TO
endeavor to soak" the city in this
way, is not known, but their attempt
has been promptly met and the out
come is more of a reflection on the
county board than anything else.
Perth Amboy is now paying by far
more county TAX than any other
municipality or township in Middle
sex and, If anything, we have been
getting the least in return.
Having won this victory, the city
attorney should proceed with his
fight regarding the land assessment,
as the state tax board is not qualified
to pass on the constitutionaltty of an
act. The supplying of a municipality
with water Is a matter that should
be interferred with as little as posi-
BILE. All Perth Amboy asks is a
square deal.

1t is only when someone from a

is brought to our minds we do re

OUR GREAT PRIVILEGE.

We, Of this country, are so
accustomed to the absolute separa-
tion of church and state, and the
freedom to worship God as we see fit
hat we are inclined to forget. o.
ref~e- aLsokuSah this great
privilege we enjoy over every other
nation. Our attention is forcibly
called to this fact by the great gath
ering now on in Philadelphia where
the Baptist World Alliance, attended
by 5000 delegates from almost every
nation, is in session. In his opening
address Rev, John Clifford, Of London,
the great English free-churchman,
who is president of the alliance, re-
ferred to the address of welcome
made by Mayor Reyburn, Of Philadel-
phia, and also to the electric display
on the Philadelphia city hall where,
in great letters made of electric
lights, are the words Welcome
Baptist Conventions Dr.. Clifford
said hat such a thing would be i'm
possible in his country-and becomes
from enlightened England. In prac-
tfcaIIy every European nation the
king or emperor ts the head Of the
churcb as well as the state. thus
linking the two together and while
in most countries today other denom-
nations are tolerated. there is one
official cbgrch which Is alone recog-
nized by the government.
This great BAPTIST gathering IN
Philadelphia reminds us hat 1t was
largely due to the members Of that
denomination in coIonial DAYS that
we enjoy this privilege Of absolute
religious liberty. Roger Williams.

MEXICAN PEACE
PACT WILL Be
COMPLETED SOON
Mader0 Delayed Entrance Into
Mexico City to Pre-
vent Riots.

MEXICO CITY. May 20.-It was the
general belief here today that the
Cabinet would conclude today and to-
morrow the business of setting down
on paper the term during which the
country is to have peace, and that on
the next day. Monday. May %, peace
would be officially proclaimed. Either
May rs or q is thought to be the day
on which President Diaz will relinquish
his authority, and 1t Is likewise believed
that Madero will arrive in the capital
on May 80.
The determination of the provisional
President not to come to the capital
Immediately is easily explained. Ru-
mors that hot-head loyalists have been
plotting to assassinate him have been
proved false, but it is admitted by the
government that Madero's arrival in
the City of Mexico before the populace
has quoted down might cause trouble.
He would have received such an oya-
ton had he come down from Juarez
right away, that some sort of rioting
would surely have followed. As for
somebody numbering him, the rumor
seems absurd when Madero's immense
popularity with'the people in general Is
considered. Armed enemies could hard
" have approached him.

PUBLIC SERVICE WOULD
PAY FOR USING BRIDGES.
Privilege Worth $4,000 Per
Year. Saws General Hine.

The Eighth Ward Improvement AS
ISOLATION appeared before the joiat
bridge committee of the Essex an
Hudson county freeholders yesterday
and asked that cars be run across the
Clay street bridge. General e. w.
Hine. of the Public Service, who at
tended the meeting, said that his com
pany was willing to pay the freehold
ers 5000 a year for the privilege of
running cars across the Clay, Jackson
and Bridge street bridges. There are
no cars on the jackson or Clay street
bridges at this time, and the right to
run cars on the other bridge a OBJ
tanned on a mandamus two years ago
at the time the company was ordere3
to remove it's tracks. Each of the
counties s being PAID $500 a year for
the use Of the bridge.
General Hine declared that the COM
pany was forced to pay a certain per
cent. of the gross receipts to the free
holders of both counties under the
Voorhees, tax law. He said that this
was 2 per cent. seven years ago n 4
per cent. last year. The limit accord
ing to the law is . per cent.
Freebooter Malta gested the sun
of SIC. 1000, to which General Hine re-
piled that the amount mentioned in the
offer of the Public Service constituted
the limit and was as far as they would
go.
Finally, on motion of Freebooter
Driver. seconded by Mr.. Malta, it was
decided to submit the question to a
special committee, who will consult
with the county counsel OF both coun-
ties interested and determine whether
or not the proposition should be put up
to the Public Utilities Commission and
whether that body could offer the prop
er remedy or not.

EX-OFF|C|AL TELLS
Of OCEAN CITY
CRAFT METHODS
In Prison, He Describes C0ndi-
tons There of Long
Standing.

TRENTON, May 20.-A dramatic tale
is told by Ira S. Champion. former
city treasurer of Ocean City. of-how
he was swallowed in the whirlpool of
graft of that seaside resort, although
he did not share the lawless earnings
of the gang of political tricksters,
which, he declared. has for years fat
tened upon spoils from the Ocean City
treasury.
Champion told his story at the State
penitentiary, in which he is a convict.
serving three years for forgery. He
said that his conviction was desired by
the ringleader of the alleged Ocean
City boodlers. who thought hat with
Champion in prison there would be lit
tie danger of an exposure of the con
ditiens which the former city treasurer
said have existed in Ocean City for
years.
Graft has existed in Ocean City for
years." said Champion. II was treas
urer of Ocean City al ut twelve years.
Before that l was city clerk for six
or seven years. and l served two terms
in the city council"
THE grafters found means of getting
something out of almost all the city
contracts. One of the most common
methods of crooked counoilmen, after
giving a fat contract to some person,
was to have the man give them orders
on the city treasurer for various sums,
sometimes as high as 81 900. to be de-
Quoted from the amount to be paid he
contractor when his york vas done.
1t was always pretended that this
money was being borrowed or was the
repayment of a loan.
$50 much baseness and ingratitude
were shown by Ocean City politicians
after l was sent to prison that it would
be a dreary recital to go over all the
ground"
