A New Tax Law Proposed

To the Voters and Residents of Salem County.
l I'm writing this letter for the follow
ing purposes:
First, Publicly to thank the voters of
Salem County for e~lecting me State Sena-
tor at the Election the 18th day OF Novem-
Der 1911.
Second. To assure the residents and
citizens OF the County, that l will, to the
best of my ability, faithfully and honest
ly represent the interest and welfare of
the people of the County as a whole, and
will carry out both in spirit and letter
the pledges made during the campaign.
Third. To state that the Senate is now
in session; that | shall he in my office in
the Dunn Building, Salem,mNew Jersey,
every Saturday and shall be glad to see
and confer with any and every person re-
CARELESS OF creed or party, in order to as
certain the desires and needs of any Sec
ton or sections of the County, and to this
end l earnestly ask all persons interested
to come in and see me.
Fourth. To state that there have been
several bills introduced in the Senate,
which, it seems to me, if they should be
passed and become law, would not result
in the general good and benefit Of the
rank and file of the people.
One OF the most important of said bills
is a proposed supplement to an Act entitl-
ed Gan act for the assessment and collec-
ton OF taxes" If this bill is passed and
becomes law, then the County Board of
Taxation will remain and the term OF
each member will be increased from
three years to five years. At the expira-
ton OF the five years it is impossible to
remove any member except for cause,
which, i'll fact, amounts to a life position.
The salary OF each member will be in
creased from $1,000. 90 to $500 90 and the
SAID Board may appoint a secretary
whose salary may be fixed at $500. 90 by
the Board. And this bill also abolishes
the local assessors OF the different Town
ships and allows the Board to appoint
field assistants whose duty it will be to
go here and there and assess property in
the different Townships, and TO appoint
any other assistant and secure any other
help which the Board deems necessary.
The members ofthe Board, as at present
composed, are to be the members which
shall compose the new Board. Ibis bill
was introduced by senator PIERCE, one of
the Republican Senators from the North.
ern part Of the State.
Hoping | may nave the pleasure OF con-
ferring with the people of the County,
and that only laws which will result in
their good may de passed at this Session,
| am,
Very gratefully,
j. WARREN DAVIS.

Milk War In Salem

The owners of the three creameries in
Salem cut the price of milk from 4 to 81
cents a quart last week. AS a conse-
quence most of the dairymen in the
region around Salem refused to sell them
milk. The Court House in Salem was
filled with farmers last Saturday after
noon to discuss the situation. They
represented 1000 head OF cows.
A committee was appointed to see
what a cooperative creamery could be
equipped for. They reported on Monday
it would take about S., 900 to pass state
inspection. The project was abandoned
and the old Salem Branch of the Inter
State Milk Shippers Union was revived.
Tie price of feed is higher and also
butter, besides the dairymen were not
given any notice. This makes them feel
they were not treated fairly.

A States Wonderful Growth.

A States Wonderful Growth.
Whatever any individual may think
Of the state of Oklahoma, he must take
off his hat and bow admiringly to the
figures Of her wonderful growth in the
past decade. Census figures don't lie,
and they give Oklahoma an increase of
population in ten years of S61 $50. This
means that the present state of Okla
homa has that many more Inhabitants
than had the territory of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory combined, which
now form the new state, ten years
ago. There is no precedent in America
for this growth. True, it is only a
score Of years since the Oklahoma
country was opened to settlement, and
considerable sections Of 1t were not
opened until within the past decade.
But when it became an accepted prop
osition that the two territories would
be organized into a commonwealth and
d011AIlCu " tAC OA1O tAS PCOpiO NC
gan to flock in and settle.
1t is the habit In some uniformed
Oklahomans. but no well informed per-
son does so. The people of Oklahoma
are from every state in the Union
Massachusetts neighbors with Nilsson
ri, Connecticut with Kansas, Virginia
with Vermont. In the new state with
the beautiful Indian name and the
bothersome Indian problem which is
inherited. These people belong to the
best blood Of their respective states
They are the e%nterprising citizens, the
ones with energy and nerve enough to
migrate from their own aresides and
set up new affairs in a land of greater
promise.
The fact, as known to all who have
visited the state and as proved in the
census reports, that in a few years
they have built on the virgin prairies
a number of modern cities up to date
in all respects may be taken as proof
that the people of Oklahoma, gathered
from all points of the compass, are
progressive and enterprising beyond
the average Not only have they built
towns and cities. but they have devel-
oped a splendid farming territory and
have enriched the world with mineral
coal and oil. When you read
the name of Oklahoma don't laugh un-
less you wish to be laughed at.

In many of the south sea islands the
snake is often held to be sacred, as it
is thought to be connected with a spir-

strangers are not allowed to see lest
some misfortune should follow. Those
that are held are not fed or worshiped.
but such as are the familiars Of indi-

highly regarded. A native OF Pente-
