HAYS FOR GOVERNOR.

NJ. Editor Of independent:

NJ. EQ!tor 81 independent:
Please let me have space II
which to express my hum5.4
views on the election for COVER
nor for this state in the election
to te held July %.
| have been a democrat al. my
life, have never bOlted . ticket
nor questioned my party organi-
cation. 1t seems at the present
time, on account Of the close vote
between Mr.. Brundidge and Mr..
Hays for nomination for COVER
nor, we have a peculiar condition
in politics. On the face of the
returns, Mr.. Hays was elected
governor. But Mr.. Brundidga
filed contest before the State
Central Committee-the men
who represented the Democratic
party in our state. The State
Central Committee, after hear
ing all the evidence Mr.. Braa-
didge had to bring about t.e
fraudulent votes, declared NJ.
Hays the nominee There is no.
thing to be done by all men VINO
are Democrats, except to follow
our Democratic organization and
vote for Hays If a matter
comes up in . church all 0rth0-
doX members Of the church
Christian, Jew, Mohammeda21,
or any other denomination
. agree to leave it to conference
of their elders, priests or repre-
sentatives. We have had or
conference in the Democratic
Party, and the men who repre-
sented us from all over the state
have said that Judge Hays is the
rightful nominee. The Supreme
Court, the highest judicial tri-
bunal, has said that our Demo
cratic Central Committee was
supreme in deciding this matter.
After this, we have nothing to
do but to acquiesce in the voice
of our leaders.
We do not want to bring about
a condition of affairs like they
have in Tennessee, where they
have q Republican Governor,
and where the collateral of the
State is selling at eighty cents
on the dollar. | do not know
how it is in other counties, but
the same crowd who is opposing
Hays in jackson County, are the
ones who have always opposed
the Democratic nominees of this
county for the past twenty-one
years when it did not suit them
to vote for the nominee in the
Primary. | had the same exper-
fence in my race for the State
Senate, in Newport and Jackson
County, as Judge Hays is having
now in the state, and I sympa-
thize with him greatly. But |
feel that no loyal Democrat will
desert the ranks or lend his in
fuence to the enemy. We have
enough rock-rjb Democrats in
this county, who are full of wool
and warp, to elect Democratic
ticket, if we can get them to the
polls.
On the solicitation from Sec
rotary Of the State Democratic
Central Committee, asking ME
to go out and aid the ticket, I
have wired Secretary Bill Hut
ton, that Notwithstanding MY
business and a sick wife and
child, I am willing to go any
where in the state, that the COM
mittee calls on me to go, and
make speeches for Hays from
now until the close of the cam
paign, and pay my own ex-
penses. I have lived all my life
in Arkansas, and I do not pro-
pose that the State shall be

six Alarms Week In Dresden, 20
Day In View York.
Prom 81. Nicholas
While I was attending the morning
drill of the Central Fire Station in Dres-
den. in Saxony, the captain In command
told me that the city had, on an average,
about six alarms of fire a week. l
casually remarked that we had twenty
five a day i'm New York. He looked at
me with wonderment and doubt, and
when / repeated that we actually had
between twenty and thirty alarms OF
fire day in the Borough of Manhattan
alone he threw up his hands and ex-
claimed: Thank Heaven it is not as
bad as that here or our beautiful city
would be destroyed"
And so we find, thanks to superior
building construction, less hurry and rush
of business methods and a wholesome
regard on the part of the citizens for
certain rigid laws covering the use OF
explosives and materials of all kinds
which usually cause fire. the lot of the
foreign fire fighter is not as strenuous
as that Of his brother firemen on this
side of the water. Because of the ex-
cellent dharacter of the buildings abroad
fires burn slowly, and rarely extend be-
yond the room or floor in which they
start.

Taxation mt Houston.

Prom the Manufacturer Record.
Under the new system of taxation at
Houston. which involves the application
of methods of the Somers unit system Of
realty valuation. land is assessed 20 per
cent Of its true value and all improve
ments upon land at . per cent of their
value, while no tax is laid upon cash,
household furniture, stocks, bonds. and
mortgages A recent statement by ]. J.
Pastoriza, under whose auspices the new
system vas inaUgurated- says:
The effect resulting from the partial
exemption from taxation of personal
property and improvements upon land in
Houston, Tex. has been magical
I'm the first six months of 1872 there
were 2ls more buildings erected than in
the first six months of 1911. and the value
of these buildings erected in 1912 amount
ed to three times the value of the build
ings erected in 1911. which goes to show
that the partial exemption Of improve
ments and the total exemption of per-
sonal property, &C, from taxation had
the effect to stimulate the building in
dustry. 1t also had the effect to increase
the number of land sales without de-
preciating the price of land. So that it
appears that the assessing of land at 20
per cent on the dollar of its full value
and taxing II for city purposes at the
rate of IL per cent on the dollar, or SIS
on the 1000 value, in addition to the
State and county tax Of 1886 per A.o00
valuation. will not AFFECT the selling price
Of land but will stimulate its sale at an
advanced price. This makes a tax rate
of 2.33 per cent over the former assess
ments. At the beginning of 1872 land
values were equalized and all land was
assessed at about 20 per cent of its fair
selling value. All personal property in
the hands of individuals, such as money.
furniture, and other household effects,
was totally exempted from taxation.
Buildings and other improvements upon
land and machinery of manufacturers
were assessed at . per cent of their
productive value. Franchises OF public
service corporations were assessed for
the first time in Houston, the assessed
value of the franchises of the various
corporations amounting to s1.7SS5O0. CThe
1913 assessment increased to S2,216130). A
former charge of building permits was
repealed. In fact. there was more done
to relieve industry from taxation in
Houston, Tex, during 1912 than has been
done in any other city in the United
States UP TO date"

Buds on Ice.

From the indianapolis News.
It is probable that even the backyard
gardener has heard of budding and
grating. and II is possible that he has
attempted the interesting operation of
causing a bud to grow on a stalk OF diff
ferent sort. But IL seems that on a fruit
tree ranch in Maryland the growers have
tried something new. They are putting
their buds on ice, and they say that II
improves the stock, preserves the cut
tings, and has proved altogether salts

World Magazine. but on the Harrison
ranch at Berlin. Nd, the laws of nature

and he Is responsible for 6he icing expert
ment. He studied out and put into prac-
tice this idea Of preserving freshly cat
buds on ice. In the Harrison orchards
the budiinE system has the prefer
over the grating: hence the younI r'an's
experiments along this line. Tree buds
removed, of course, from the trees in
wholesale quantities, must necessarily be
kept for varying lengths of time before
they can be put to use. This means that
some OF them. under ordinary methods,
must be used when much fresheF than
others. But by the use of ice all are pre-
served in dormant state.
After the buds are cut they are al
lowed to dry On the surface and are next
submitted TO tuniGation. in order to free
them from all injurious insect pests. I'm
mediately after fumigation they are
sprinkled with water. They are then
wrapped in bundles with wet sacks. Pre-
caution must be taken, because IL the
buds are not dampened and cooled quick
ly they are likely to spoil. The buds are
finally put into an improvised refriger-
ator containing about 100 pounds OF ice,
in order that most of the heat may De re-
moved. The lower the temperature tile
better the success later with the buds.
They can be kept a week or more by this
method without any signs Of damage. The
idea Is not exactly to chill them. as one
would luscious melon on a hot summer
day. but to take the heat out of them

derson that she slept In a coffin three
years to familiarize herself with the idea
of death. but lately the narrow bed had
become uncomfortable. This, of course
was told many, many years ago. Miss
Anderson described the boudoir of the
French actress as follows: ''The carpet
was OF black velvet, the walls were hung
and the furniture covered with the same
material. The skeleton of a man who
died of love at Mantua hung before the
mirror, which was quite tall. with ringer

bowls about the room rose leaves were
heaped, the fragrance from which was

Rhode Island on Lake Erie.

From the Boston Journal
A century ago yesterday Oliver HaZ-
ard Perry won upon Lake Erie the naval
battle which stopped the British in their
attempt to cut the Mississippi Valley
away from the United States and con-
fine this country to the Atlantic sea-
board. One desperate and decisive ac-
ton prevented British control OF the
Great Lakes. That action was fought by
a Rhode Island commander heading a
corps OF Rhode Island officers, who in
turn commanded crews very largely COM
posed of Rhode Island men. Through
the wilderness from Narragansett Bay
these brave sailors made their way. Out
Of green timber they built their ships.
They went into action flying as a signal
the dying words of Lawrence just out
side Boston harbor. In our history there
are few Incidents more thrillingly pic
turesque than the transfer of the COM
mander's flag from ship to ship in the
midst Of the battle. And the laeonic
bulletin of victory is as priced here in
New England as ever it has been in the
vast territory which Perry saved to the
Union.
