TAX r

one place In the county that Is any

boy and that Ii New Brunswick
| where the tax rate fs S2.29, while

where the tax rate Is larger than in

smaller In population, are: Dunel-

tax rate is the same rs Perth AM

Considering all the improvements
that have been made here In recent
| years, this is a remarkable showing
for Perth Amboy. The low rate,
however, is explained to some extent
by the fact that the valuations here
have increased enormously from
year to year. This has made It pos
sible for the city authorities to
spend a great deal Of none with

Judging from the remarks mad,
by the members of the Board o.
Health at their meeting Tuesday
night, that board is somewhat Of {
joke. 1t seems that the commits
sioners r willing to notify tbs
property owners about nuisances
that may exist, but IL the property
owners zee fit to ignore them, tbs
board will let the matter drop
Thus, as far az ~exerting any au-
taority is concerned, the board be
comes a mere laughing stock In the
community.
The pools of water In the western
section of Market street that have
been complained about, are some
thing more than mere cellars filled
with rain water. We admit there
is building going on In that sectiony
but the low lands are flooded and
the stagnant water remains in the
many holes throughout the year.
These ponds OF water are the de.
light of ducks and geese, but they
are a constant danger to small
children who play in that neighbor-
hood. The boys who live in the VI
entity tell how they sail boats in
these ponds in summer. and skate
on them In winter. This liz evidence
enough that the ponds are not mere
ly puddles of rain water that dry up
after the storm.
Such pools as these cannot help
but be great breeders OF mosquitoes.
1t will be remembered that one of
the strongest points made by Pro-
lessor Smith, in his crusade against
mosquitoes, was that all stagnant
pools where water collects, even to
q tin can, should be abolished. II
the Board of Health continues to
carry on a mosquito campaign it
must put an end to these breeding
places as well as draining the mead
ows In the vicinity.
1t Is customary around election
time to blame every complaint on
politics. But as one of the commits
sioners admits that these ponds of
water have been complained or be-
fore, 1t is plain that there is no pol
tiles in this case. When Commits
Kennedy says that this is a
purely matter for the health board
10 decide and not for the public at
he may speak correctly. But
when the members OF the board are
TO press any Of their COM
beyond the mere notification
the property owners and there
~ become the laughing stock of all
Who care to ignore them, 1t Is time
he public took an Intarest and got
men in office who had backbone
to do something more than
mere talk.

adopted By tbs Republican and
Democratic parties at their owen
lions held In Trenton. Tuesday,
shows clearly which party has been
able to tree itself from the control
Of the stand-pattsrs and which one
is still laborins under the old boss
system.
The Republican platform consists
largely Of an effort to make 1t APP
pear that the Republicans are to be
given the credit for the progressive
legislation passed last year. AS the
Republicans also brag of the fact
that they have been in control OF
the state for the past sixteen years,
1t would be interesting to have the
leaders explain why this advanced
legislation was not enacted during

In enc thing particularly the Re-
publican platform contradicts IT.
self. While a greater portion Of
1t is taken up In emphasizing The
fact that nothing vas passed last
year without the consent of the Re-
publican senate, yet in praising the
acts of the Republican party In pre-
vious years, the platform sets forth
that during that period, legislation
was SO free from criticisms that the
Democratic party after a year of
practical control of affairs, has re-
pealed no act .of general public in
terest." Here the Republicans
seem to be willing to admit that the
after all, had practical
control of affairs.
There lis no definite endorsement
of the reform laws passed last year,
In the Republican PLATFORM In
fact the Republicans promise to
make many changes without saying
how far they will go In rendering
these measures. When it is
realized that the old time leaders
were In control of the convention

BIG TAX VALUES

The State Board of Equalization
late yesterday announced that in
order to meet financial demands of
1911, the total assessed valuation of
the state for taxation purposes would
have to be three hundred millions of
dollars.
From estimates made by State AL
ditor Bright5ill tie returns made by
the county boards would leave the
amount about seveteen millions short
and the efforts of the state board will
be in the direction of making up the
deficiency.
The fact that the late legislature
was prodigal in making appropria-
lions is responsible for the condition
Many thousands of acres of land have
been added to the tax duplicates in
the western half of the state where
many claims have been proved up,
but not enough to raise the state tax
ables to the required figure.
There is a disposition on the part
of the county officers attending the
board meetings here to have the
realty appraisement remain the same
as in 1910; any effort to increase 1t
will undoubtedly meet with resis-
ance. ~ -'' ".

GERMANY AND HAITI

German international activities are
apparently not confined to the effort
to obtain a foothold on the eastern
coast Of Morocco, to the discontinue
of both France and England. There
is some evidence that the government
at Berlin is casting. eyes longingly in
the direction of the West Indies. A
dispatch of German warship to
Haiti Ito protect German interests"
would ordinarily not be especially sig
nificant, for in a situation such as
that which exists in the black repub-
lie it is more orless the duty of every
foreign government to be prepared
for eventualities. The relations of
Germany to the Haitian revolution,
however, are such as to suggest
more than ordinary concern. 1t has
been recently reported, with some
show of authority, that Germany's
interest in the Haitian affair is direct
and specific. 1t is even alleged that
the revolution now in progress is fl
nancsd in Berlin. Be that as it may,
the American governments concern
for the preservation of it's rights is
founded upon more substantial bas-
sa, in the Monroe doctrine, than any
casual German interest can possibly
be. Evidently this country has no
distinct cause to apprehend active
German interference in Haiti, else it
would Lave served notice on Berlin
that it would regard any interference
in Haitian politics as unfriendly. If
Germany wishes to prevent the de-
struction of German property and to
afford safe refuge for Germans men,
aced by the revolution, it is entirely
within it's rights in so doing. But it
is certain that there will be swift
and effective protest against any &C.
ton which will result in placing in !
power in Haiti, government which |
would be so friendly to Germany that |
such grant as that of a naval coal
ing station or coaling base would fol-
low as an act of reciprocal considera-
ton. The Washington Star thinks
the Monroe doctrine would be definite
ly violated by any territorial grant
whatever to Germany, however small
in acreage. 1t would be fragrantly
violated by the grant of strategic
naval station.

FATHER DETAINED, THEN SON
Appeal Made to Nagel to Save North
Dakotans from Deportation

WASHINGTON, Aug 4-Tnos Nijem
of Williston, N. D., is having unusual
difficulties in securing the entrance of
his nearest relatives to the United
States. Three months ago his father
and sister were held at Marseilles,
France, while on their way to this
country. because the father was suf-
fering from trachoma. Nijem went to
Marseilles, placed his father in hos
pital and lately secured his release as
cured. Meantime a younger brother
joined the family. On the way over
from Marseilles, however, the boy de-
veloped the disease, and at Ellis is
land he was detained. According to
the law If the boy is deported, as is
threatened, the father. as his guardian
must go with him.
Thomas Nijem has appealed to the
secretary of commerce and labor for
his consent to place the boy in New
York City hospital for treatment. Rep
resentative Hanna requested Secretary
Nagel to permit this course.

Immediately after the ceremony

improvements and personally over
last year. The taxes on all property
are assessed at about One-fourth OF
their cash value.
It is three hundred millions OF tax
able values the State Board OF Equal
ization is looking for. The law says
taxables must be assessed at their
true cash value. If this was done,
perhaps the state would get a low
tax rate.
