for New York City.

NE WYORK, Aug. 31.-Ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt dips into politics in
the current number of the Outlook
which is out today, with an attack on
the proposed new charter for New
York city, in an editorial headed,
"Self-government."
Col. Roosevelt characterizes the
manner in which the charter is being
framed as "undemocratic" and hits at
Tammany, declaring that this organi'
cation now dominates the state.
The colonel makes the point that
whereas New York city contains ten
times as many people as Arizona and
New Maxico, residents of those terri
tories were allowed to form their own
constitutions and their debates were
widely reported and their actions
known the country over before the
constitutions were put up to congress
in the statehood bill.
The people of New York city did
not seek the charter. the colonel as
serts, but that 1t is being foisted up
on them. He also decries the lati
tude which 1t will give the mayor In
educational matters, making him vir
tually a despot, he says.

AUTOMOBILE
RECIPROCITY

CONTINUED from page ~
other states or with the consIdera-
ton which New Jersey has hereto
fore shown to Pennsylvania motor
lists, the department will gladly re-
sumo it's former position.
The discretionary power vested In
the department clearly demonstrates
that the spirit and the object of our
eight day license law was for the
purpose of affording the department
an opportunity, within the ltmita-
tions prescribed, of extending recip-
rocal courtesies to tourists, and in
that spirit the law will be enforced.
Matter of Reciprocity.
Pennsylvania motorists must eX-
pect to receive from New Jersey, so
far as the department is concerned,
exactly the same treatment which
they accord to New Jersey motorists.
To that end, in addition to the
discontinuance of the tourist prtvi-
lege, l am directing the abolition of
all New Jersey licensing agencies
located in Pennsylvania and Della
ware.
With regard to New York and
Massachusetts, it is only fair to say
that while their attitude has been in
many respects similar to that of
Pennsylvania, they have lately shown
a disposition to effect reciprocal re-
lations with New Jersey, and l am
very hopeful that the reciprocal
spirit of our limited license law will
shortly be recognized by these states.
The Maryland authorities prompt
ly recognized the justice Of our posi-
ton, and are extending to New Jer-
sey residents reciprocal courtesies. ,
| ought to say that this whole
trouble has been brought about by a
failure on the part of other states to
understand the meaning of rectproc-
ity. They have confused the term
with that of retaliation. Reciprocity
means giving as we'll as receiving.
New Jersey not only believes in reel
procity, but has always given to non
resident motorists much more than
it's motorists have received from
other states. Retaliation means an
offensive act either as a punishment
or to compel the performance of an
unwilling act by another. 1t means
coercion. So far as | am concerned,
New Jersey motorists will not be
coerCed.
l would gladly welcome arrange
ments which would increase the mo-
toring b~enefactions Of New Jersey
to n~on-residents and which would put
other states still further in our debt;
but | cannot consent to sit by In
definitely while our state is being
traduced, our motives assaulted, and
our motorists Inundated"
