GREAT ARE THE FUTURE coMMIssIoNERsi

TAIVE Of the ten men nominated for commissioners of the new
Walsh commission government in Trenton will be the mu-
nicipal bosses of Trenton after the election on August 10.
These five men will have all the say in respect to local government
affairs. They will distribute all the official patronage, make the
contracts, disburse the moneys and incidentally give out the public
printing. A study of the list of ten successful candidates shows
that all but two of them are prominently identified with the two
political party organizations, while a majority of the candidates
are now holding down political Offices. 1t was charged before the
primary that combinations had been made by politicians of the
two parties to nominate certain candidates. The Trenton Times
gave the names of some of the successful candidates and described
how the primary election tickets had been distributed in their
behalf. Now that the combination men are nominated and will
control the commission government there is a remarkable change
of view on the part of their newspaper critics as to the character
of the prospective commissioners. 1t is declared that these gen
tlemen are all right, they were not of any combination, they are
the peoples choice, the nominations are ideal, the primary was a
great success. Hurrah for any five candidates out of the ten who
shall be elected! For shall they not be the distributors of all the
patronage and other favors under the new government? What
droll and yet melancholy aspects the Walsh bill experiment in
Trenton already presents!

BUSINESS MEN ON CITY PLANNING.

The Board of Trade of Newark. N.
j. has issued a pamphlet containing
the report on city planning of It's COM
mittee on civic art and architecture.
This report, prepared by business men
who certainly were not seeking any
work for themselves, is a very inter-

planning. 1t considers the matters
under these heads: l. Meaning and
Application of City Planning. 2. Eff

Objects to Be Attained. Under legis-
lntion necessary the committee ap-
proves of the zone system and the
right of excess condemnation. Since
the report was submitted the mayor
has appointed a city planning commits

Penai.e CareIe.. Autoi.t..
of the Evening Star:

10 tine Editor OF the Evening Star:
Yesterday 1 saw a man in a runabou
try to turn from Market street to
Washington street right in front of a
w~estbound trolley car. The motorman
put on the air with remarkable quick
ness or he would have crashed into the
automobile. AS it was, the machine
was merely pushed along the track.
The man who was driving was still
trying to cross the track. He all but
ran into an eastbound car which was
stopped by the quickness of its motor
man. AS 1t was the automobile was
forced into an open cut formed by an
excavation in the roadbed.
The fact that he had nearly precipi-
tatsd a smash-up with two trolley cars
did not bother the genius who had
been driving. He merely shouted for
assistance. had his machine lifted out
of the hole to the road. put on full
speed and dashed through the crowd
along Washington street.
1t would seem that the just reward
for so idiotic a performance as turn
ing directly in front of a moving troll
ley car should be at least a smashed
up machine. Then he mightn't do il
again. But no. he got off scot-free.
There ought to be some way of pen
alizing the idiotic irresponsible
auto-drivers, not for their W good,
but for the safety of the innocent by
stander and for the peace of mind OF
the motormen Ike those through whose
q%uickness the incident l witnessed was
saved from being an accident. A. f.

Dixop defends His stnnd.


To the Editor of the Evening star:
In your edition of last Friday there
appeared the following editorial state
ment:
IF the commission plan is adopted
Corporation Counsel Warren Dixon
might be in danger of losing his lob.
Is that why he is opposed to the ador-
ton of the Walsh act?"
In reply to your editorial inquiry and
innuendo as to my reasons For oppos-
Ing the adoption of the so-called Walsh
act 1 wish to make the following state
ment:
Believing that the question Of the
adoption or rejection of this act by
Jersey City was addressed to the judy
ment and patriotism of her citizens,
which should not be tainted by ;,ar-
tisanship, I endeavored to reach my
conclusions without regard to PERSONAL
or party ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
My objections to the act chiefly CEN
tire in opposition to the scheme of
having all legislative. judicial and adj
iiiiio Nv POWCiS tCpOStQ III a Sii6ic
body. against the exercise of which
there is provided no check or vote, ex-
cept the recall and referendum, which,
in my opinion, in all except the most
fragrant cases Of abuse, would prove
Elusive and ineffective, as they surely
would be cumbersome.
To have the agency which assesses
for taxation and secures the public
moneys also spend those moneys, ]
believe, is bad in principle n would
prove disastrous in practise.
The scheme of the Walsh act, as l
see, it, is to establish a four-year oil
garchy, which might, of course, he
o~verthrown by a peaceful revolution
through the recall and referendum.
1t would probably take years of liti-
CATION and adjudication to ascertain
and define the scope and limitation of
its most salient features. and in the
meanwhile there would be confusion
n uncertainty.
l do not believe investors would pur-
chase our municipal bonds until the
act had received the judicial approval
OF our highest courts. For this reason 1
stated that its adoption would leopard
lie the acquisition of the new water
plant, as such judicial approval could
no be obtained in the four months, In
which the purchase price must be
raised from the sale of our municipal
bonds. WARREN DIXON.

5Ta HE waters of the New Jersey coast have been full of fish of
ali kinds this month and handline fishermen have had plenty
of occupation in pulling them in. Weakfsh, bass, bluefsh,
porgies and other varieties are present along the coast in great
numbers. With this great abundance of fish in our home waters
seatood ought to be cheap in our markets. It is ony necessary
to go to the markets and price the food on the stalls to find that
prices continue to rule high. Moreover, much of the fish sold is
coldstorage fish that was stored as late as last fall. The retail
fish dealer buys all his fish from the fish trust in New York, and
at trust prices, and he must sell at prices dictated by the trust
Or he cannot be supplied with New England fish or fish from the
South Atlantic coast. The New Jersey Legislature at every SEES
sion in the past has been controlled by the fish trust and pound
net interests, and to such an extent that it was impossible to get
a bill passed or even reported that these interests were opposed to.
A bill to tax pound nets on the coast failed to pass the Legislature
last winter. New Jersey possesses the best fisheries on the Atlantic
coast. and while the State gets no revenue from this great prop.
e1y it is exploited by a nonresident trust which compels the New
Jersey consumer to pay double prices for the New Jersey fish he
BUYS. Is this such a small matter that neither a governor nor
legislature need pay any attention to it? Is the fish trust such a
blessing that it should even be exempt from tax?

special Horn Badly 1.eeded.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Some time ago a letter appeared in
your Rostrum in which the communi-
can advised that the City Hospital
automobile be equipped with a warn
ing horn distinct from all others. Last
night the truth of his argument came
home to me very clearly when l saw
the auto held up for over ten minutes
in the ~congested section of the city.
1t was during the rush hours when the
streets were lined on both sides with
cars and wagons. The ambulance was
forced to stop completely for several
minutes and then crawl on at snail
like speed, while some persons life
depended on immediate treatment at
the hospital.
Now If the auto contained a horn
different from all others the drivers
of trucks would know the city ambu-
lance was behind them n not a
party of reckless joy riders. I think
that the drivers would be willing to
sacrifice a little of their time for a
cause such as that.

BOROUGH AND COMMISSION.

cTTa HE government of a little borough like Hawthorne, with not
as many voters as are contained in a single election district
in Newark, is quite different from that of a large munich
pality. Its affairs are small and easily under the control of the
citizens and it's expenditures comparatively insignificant. The
borough government was adopted in New Jersey some years ago
and has proved satisfactory. Bergen county alone has fortvscven
boroughs, the first of which, Rutherford, was chartered in 1881.
Each borough has a miniature council and a mayor and the almost
universal rule is to elect property owners who have a material in
terest in the community. With these borough governments Bergen
county has developed wonderfully from 36,7s6 population in 1880
to 1854 in 1910, the property value keeping pace with this
growth. 1t will be a simple matter for one of these boroughs to
be changed to commission government, but few indeed will make
the change.

THE CLERGY AT THE BAT.

m TEAM of nine ministers of the New Jersey Methodist Con
IN ference is to play a team from the Pennsylvania Methodist
Conference at Pitmans Grove, in South Jersey, next Mon
day. A week ago a Methodist minister in the West declared in a
raJpit discourse that the game of baseball was a national curse;'
that it was doing great harm to the canse of religion and depicting
the churches. Evidently the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Con
ference pastors do not share the gloomy view of their Western
lsother. They so far disagree with him that they 20 out on the
diamond and play baseball, too. And they set u good example
both to the clergy and the laty. 1t is encouraging, indeed, to see
clergymen identifying themselves with diversions "f he people
that are innocent and healthful and that must, therefore, be moral
and edifying. The clergyman who is human in his sympathies and
net rest in touch with the people is always the most effective in
his Iife-Work.

A ScOURED-OUT PASSAIC.

Y HEN the trunk sewer shall have been put in operation
WV to divert all the sewage and factory liquids from the
Passaic it will be necessary to do something to scour
out the deep accumulation of filth on the river bottom. Until the
Passaic is cleansed of this poisonous filth no fish can live in its
waters and bathing will be unpleasant, if not dangerous. Steamers
and motorboats passing up and down the river will churn up the
filth, and the odor now so much in evidence on either side of The
passaic will remain to faint the air. Freshets scour the river bot
tom to some extent, but with the storage of water in the upper
Passaie valley freshets are now unusual, and it would take many
to clean out the river bottom.

THOUR women were killed in an automobile at a railroad grade
crossing at Raceville, N. y, yesterday. The crossing is at
the top of a hill, is unprotected, and the view of the track at
the crossing is obstructed by trees. This is only one If 4 number
of similar tragedies at railroad grade crossings that have been
reported within a few weeks. Is this slaughter necessary and I'M
ayoidable? Is there no means of preoantion? And then, again, it
may be asked if it is of more public Importance that railroads
should pay good dividends than tat human life should be pro-
tected? The motorists of the country should take Up this ques-
1ion and drive it right home upon government.

Sa%guenay. and as they sailed down the
river they gathered on deck in the

the "Star-Spangled Banner" while the
