INCOME TAX MEASURE ]
BAD. PRINCE DECLARES

The two great issues for the Re-
publican party in the coming CAM
paign will be the question Of tariff
and the preservation of the national
and State constitutions. declared
former State Senator John D. Prince
during his address before the men,
bers of the Republican County Com
nittee last night. He also attaches
the income tax as burdensone, in
effective and antagonistic to Ameri-
can principles because it pried into
mans private affairs.
He said there is a Napoleonic trend
noticeable, which will ultimately es-
tablish one-man power. and is al
ready endangering the one basic
American principle of keeping intact
the executive, legislative and ju-
dietary domains. This he gave as a
reason why the preservation of the
national and State constitution formed
an important issue. He warned
against too much theorizing and ex-
perimenting which bring forth ILL.,
considered, though well-meant, legis-
lation. such as ''the seven sisters
BILL"
In speaking Of the tariff issue he
declared that certain legislators have
been asked to manipulate the tarift
for certain interests. In place of the
reduced receipts thee income tax
would be installed, he said He de-
clared the income tax measure would
always prove unpopular and unsatis-
factory because 1t would be an easy
matter to conceal ones income In
addition, he declared. It should have
it's start down to 81, 900, as the sPresi-'
dent advocated, instead of becoming
an Objectionable burden to a min-
GRITTY.
He predicted that New Jersey. the
foremost home of industries, would
be hard hit by the reduced tariff, as
many plants. unable to compete with
the cheaper European products, would
have to shut down, putting thousands
his belief that the Democrats had
run into q snare with the tariff and
the income tax.
Another speaker was John j. Nor
gan, of London. friend of Mr..
Prince, who declared that the ineome
tax had proven very unsatisfactory
and unpopular in England. Former
Congressman r. Wayne Parker also
spoke and predicted dire results from
the wholesale changes in the tariff,
which he characterized as "a leap in
the dark that even the Democratic
donkey would only hurdle blinds
folded"
Members of the county COMMITTEES
aopted resolutions OF regret and
sympathy on the recent deaths of
former United States Senator Frank
o. Briggs and former Freeholder
Christian Ahner, of this county.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May "a
The star Of Billy Hit. which has
been regarded as having been In the

been dimmed by Arthur White, a
Virginia whip and horse owner.

wealth to match the immense fortune
left Miss Ellins by her father. but
he is very good looking, an ardent

POLICEMAN KELLY MAY
HAVE INTERNAL INJURIES

Mounted Policeman Owen P. Kelly,
of the First precinct. was seriously
injured yesterday afternoon. His

fell on top of him, pinning the blue
coat to the pavement until the ar

to his home in an ambulance and Po-
lice Surgeon Clark summoned. 1t is
feared that he has sustained internal
injuries.
Kelly was sitting on his horse in

GIANTS PROWESS COULD
MOI PERSUADE JUDGE

When Judge Hahn had disposed of
a dozen or more Small boy baseball
window cases, and had advised a
score of just married "can't-live-to-
gether" couples, he was ready to quit
the bench today in the Third Precinct
Court when a disturbance in the rear
of the courtroom arrested his atten-
ton.
Coming through the door was a
whale of a man. In his right hand,
struggling and yelling in foreign
tongue, was a mere pigmy. Framed
in the doorway the giant and the
Lilliputian stood for a moment, until
the brawny ones eyes rested upon the
Judge seated behind the high desk.
With a stride the giant was before
the bench and telling his troubles.
The little one, scared and trembling,
ventured a word or two now and
then, but a scornful look from his
antagonist subdred him and he lapsed
into silence.
From the Scotch dialect of the tow
ering man from Edinburgh the judge
made out that the little one had taken
ring from his big companion.
In broken English the small man
from Berlin denied the charge and ex-
planned how his companion had made
mistake. Suddenly, like a mammoth
derrick, the arm of the Scotchman
shot out, the long muscular fingers
closed on the Germans shoulder and
up went the arm with its cargo.
Your honor. was p'leecman In
Edinburgh town and a bobby in Lon
don, and that's how caught my mon.
l arrested this fellow right DOT here
in the strate when he swoiped the
ring" said the giant.
There's no evidence against him
your both discharged" said the court
after a lengthy examination.

BOYS CAUGHT STRIPPING HOUSE

Two youthful miscreants were cap
tured by Plainclothesman Cort and
Patrolmen Harms and Salter. of the
Fourth precinct, today while carting
iron fixtures in small wagon from
vacant house at 2a5 South Orange
avenue. When arraigned before Judge
Herr they gave their names as Tony
KuczewslSi, II years old, Of A Hayes
street, and Frank Walsh, 10 years
old, of 81 Camden street. Judge Herr
administered a severe reprimand to
both of them and allowed them to go
free. The house in South Orange
avenue has been vacant for some
time and the interior has been ran
sacked time and again.

CLARK SPEAKS FOR HIS
DAUGHTER AT GRADUATION

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May "a
Speaker Champ Clark proved a very
able substitute for his clever daugh-
ter. Genevieve, when he took her
place in the graduating exercises of
Friends school last night
It was Miss Clark's class that was
graduating. and her diploma was
handed over to her parents for her,
as she is travelling In Europe with
Mrs. George Harvey, of New York.
Speaker Clark spoke happily on the
topic, THE World is Growing Bet
ter" He was in a merry mood and
the big audience enjoyed his spar

cisms.

personally examines all articles re-
ceived to see whether they are up TO
the standard of the sample on which
the bid for the particular article was
based or not and also checks the
goods again as to quantity to see
| there are no shortages.
One sample of the effectiveness OF
this method can be cited. 1t hap
pened during the present week. A
supply of potatoes was received at
one of the institutions. numbering 14s
bags. Now. potatoes in bags, to
comply with the county's >specifca-
lions. must weigh 1875 pounds net, or
1877 pounds, allowing two pounds for
the bag. The potatoes delivered
weighed 15S pounds, bag and all, or a
shortage of nine pounds on each bag.
Not much on each bag. but 1t was
l,341 pounds on the whole consign-
ment, or a trifle over eight bags.
Needless to say, the shortage was
made good at once.
Another place where a great saving
has resulted is in the plan of obtain
ing competitive bids on all stationery
and printing supplies. Before the
establishment of the purchasing COM
mittee a department or institution
needing, for example, a supply of
printed forms would order them direct
from some favored printer and pay
his price for the goods.
Reduction in Price.
Nowadays samples of the printed
form needed is submitted to the print
ing trade in general and bids asked,
the contract being awarded to the
lowest bidder Actual figures taken
from the county books show a supply
of printed forms that under the old
system would cost $500. cost from
5000 to 1925 when bought under the
competitive bidding system.
In the Court House Mr.. Bergen
keeps a stock of small goods, such as
pens, pencils, pads, ink and other
articles used in clerical work and as
department or county office needs
supply a requisition is made and
filed direct by Mr. Bergen. The coss
of the supplies is then charged
against the department getting them
BY this system reckless use OF
stationery is prevented in the county
offices as we'll as free and easy dis
tribution of county supplies to per-
sons having business to do with the
offices. A card index system is kept
of the amount of supplies furnished
each office and department and any
unreasonable or extravagant use of
any article is speedily discovered and
checked.
Credit for the systemizing of the
county purchasing OF supplies and
stationery belongs to Freebooter
Richard F. Malta, who devised the
plan of getting competitive bids on all
articles, and did the greater part of
the work in drawing UP the specifica-
lions for supplies now used by the
county.
Mr. Bergen has been clerk OF the
committee since it's inception and as
the work grew and his duties were in
creased was made superintendent of
purchases, and as such is responsible
for the county getting the correct
quantity, the proper quality and in
seeing that the contract prices are
charged on every article purchased by
the county, even though, going back
to the opening paragraph, it be a
