EFFICIENCY COMMISSION
ACT PASSED BY SENATE.
EFrom a stan Correspondent

TRENTON, March 21.-The manner
in which New Jersey does business will
be investigated during the current
year by a commission of seven per
sons. A resolution to this effect was
passed by the Senate yesterday. 1t was
the Edge joint resolution. The COM
mission is to be composed of three
citizens, appointed by the Governor;
two Senators, named by the president
of the Senate. and two Assemblymen,
named by the speaker of the House.
They are to be known as the economy
and efficiency commission and may
spend $1,000. The object of the inves-
tigation is to determine whether It is
advisable to reorganize the State.
Senator Silzer did not quite approve
of the Edge plan and spoke in favor
of his resolution which would make
the commission n~on-partisan and COM
posed of experts. Ills plan provided
for an expenditure Of $25, 900.

CONFIRMS
ONE APPOINTMENT

TRENTON, March 22.-Two brief
sessions Of the Senate yesterday, with a
long conference at noon, held by the
Republicans. brought forth nothing
very important In the way of legisla-
ton. OF the appointments made by
Governor Wilson yesterday the only
one confirmed by the Senate was that
of Edwin II. Corson as a member Of he
Cumberland County Tax Board The
other appointments may be acted on
today.
There will be no opposition to the
appointment Of Professor Ford, who Is
TO succeed Vivian M. Lewis as COM
missioner of banking and insurance.
despite the fact that the appointment
is not a popular one. Mr.. Ford has
been in this State for only three years.
and the fact that he may not have
sufficient experience in banking mat
ter are the causes for the dissatisfac-
ton of some of the statesmen. Never
theless his name will be pushed
through without opposition.
A most beautiful situation exists in
the Senate al this time. Both sides.
the Democratic and the Republican,
are in cahoots with the Governor on
the question OF appointment. Things
are working out beautifully for all
concerned. The fact that thousands
of dollars are being spent in increasing
salaries, and the fac that new Offices,
such as the vice-chancellorship, are be-
ing created does not disturb the peace
of mind of the statesmen. Already
the annual appropriations are q mill
lion in excess of last year, but the
budget Is still growing.
A resolution to reconsider the con-
current resolution fixing the date of sine
die adjournment for today was
presented by Senator Edge and
was adopted. There will probably be
three sessions today and sessions
Monday and Tuesday. Then adjourn
ment will be taken until the following
week to give the Governor a chance
to go over the bills. Final adjourn
ment is expected a week after next.
1t is now hoped that a suitable bill
amending the school act of last year,
which provides for a uniform examina-
ton, has been drawn. This is a COM
promise measure and partly the child
the State Board of Education. 1t
eliminates the maximum and minimum
examination provision and provides in
that the State board may at any
order an examination to deter
the efficiency of schools. This
examination is not to affect the pro-
of a pupil.

TRENTON, March 22.-The House
passed a number of important bills yes
terday afternoon, chief among which Is
the Leavitt measure. making 1t legal
for any volunteer acting without COM
pensation TO transport voters to and

maries.

of the directors of the Board of Free
holders of Hudson and Essex counties
at $4,000 annually passed. as did also
the of the minority leader

at $4,000 annually.
The Gaunt bill to prevent the killing
OF more than one deer by hunters each
year was approved. There was an ad-
verse report on the Fielder bill Gre
ating a rapid transit commission for
Hudson County. The report was up
held despite the attempt to place II
on second reading.

price for electric current for gas and
for arc lamps were adversely reported
and the reports were upheld after a
division. The Fielder bill providing
for a new county jail In Hudson was

where is all the none coming from for
the Wilson campaign? ! ask that ques-
ton directly and in the nature of a
challenge.
Where is all this money coming
from to open up headquarters in almost

you have two Wilson campaign man
ayers drawing $3.50 a month each. The
country has been flooded with CAM
