RECORDS IDEA
OF TAX BOARD.
State Board for Equalization
of Taxes Condemned.
(FrOm the NEWS correspondent.)

Trenton, Jan. 17:-The State
Economy and Efficiency Commission
has received from George L. Record,
a member of the State Board Of AS
SCISSORS and well known Hudson
county politician, a declaration that
the State Board of Equalization OF
Taxes should be abolished. This is
directly opposite to the view of the
special State Tax Investigating Com
mission, which recommends that the
State Board of Assessors be abolish
ed and more power be given to the
State Tax Board. Mr.. Record told
the Economy Commission that the
State Tax Board was pumped into
power to save the railroads from
paying the taxes they should have
paid. The County Tax Boards, he
insisted, were created to save the
various counties from ov~ertaxing
the railroads, or rather, taxing them
at anywhere neal the fair value.
There has been any need of
the state and county boards" he de-
clared.
The question of the consolidation
of the State Tax Board and the State
Board of Assessors was before the
Economy Commission and Mr.. Rec
ord was asked if he thought it would
be a good thing to merge these
boards. He replied:
"As long as the railroad taxes are
handled as they are today there will
have to be a separate board to super
wise this particular question"
The hearing developed the fact
hat the State Board of Equalization
has no power to equaliZe taxes, rs
many suppose.
George M. Mccarthy, of Jersey
City, a Republican of the State Tax
Board, thought it would be a serious
mistake to abolish his board and
consolidate its work with another
body.
Asked as to the idea of Charles
Hansel, the tax expert, that all the
local assessors in the state should be
ousted and the work done by a corps
of trained experts, Charles e. Hend-
rickson, the president of the State
Tax Board, said it was a fine theory,
but could not be put into practical
effect.

4 REAL GOOD SHOW.

"A good show at Proctor's."
That is the by word on the street
today. The bill for the latter part
at the house in some time. 1t Is
chiefly comedy and that is what the
people of Perth Amboy like. The
feature act Is Glenn Bevins and COM
pany n the rural comedy, "Wap-
pinger's Falls" Mr.. Bevins is a
quaint character comedian and the
sketch contains just enough pathos
to make it pleasing. 1t tells a pretty
story of how the daughter of the vii
lage constable ran away from home
and returns five years later. One
of the stars of the cast Is CLYDE
Camp, who was formerly a member
of the Bijou theatre stock company.
Another great act on the program
Is Fun in a Vaudeville Agency
presented by the Five Bragdons. 1t
is a scream from start to finish.
There is a little comedian in the act
who Is a whole show by himself,
1t is interesting to know that the
Five Bragdons claim New Bruins
wick as their home city. The third
act Is Mark silver. the society enter
tainer. He sings and plays the piano
In a decidedly pleasing maner.
THAT Haunting Melody" is espe-
cially good. He concluded with a
pianologue composed from the titles
of popular songs. The show is
good in every particular.

THE PLAYS THE THING.

Shakespeare in his immortal trag-
edy Of Hamlet" says 1.-THE plays the
thing wherein I'll catch the con
science of the king" The manage
ment Of the Bijou theatre has no
kings conscience to catch but they
hope to catch the fancy of the people
of Perth Amboy with something new
and novel in a play and stage set
tings. Next weeks bill, "a Fathers
Sin," Is q rural comedy drama deal
ing with circus life. The play Is in
four acts, special scenery being used
for each and every phase. In these
days of realism in stage settings 1t Is
hard to give anything new but the
last act of "A Fathers Sin" will show
the interior Of a circus tent with the
performers dressing room. Nothing
will be spared to create the atmos-
phere of Circus Day" There will
be clowns, live animals and q real
brass band. Since the opening of
the stock company at the Bijou sew
eral new members have been added
to the cast and Mr.. Graves, the direc-
tor, now claims that the company is
before. Miss Gladys Malverne will

haviSg just closed an engagement at
the Garden theatre in New York City
and has been with such well-knoWn
attractions as The Wolf" THE Ser
want In the House" and in stock with
Amelia Bingham, James Durkin and
James Neill. The management has
no doubt but that he will be as popu-
lar here as he has been in the larger
cities. Next Monday, Incubator
Night" the management will deliver
into the arms of the holder of the
successful number a real live, cute,
cunning baby.

There are very many reasons to be,
