POORMASTERS ATTACK
WIDOWS PENSION BILL
Declare Levy on Municipalities
Will Show No Equity.
Especial TO the Newark star.

HOBOKEN, N. J., April 2S-Positive
denunciation of House Bill No. $50,
known as the widows pension bill. -
was given at the meeting of the Hud-
son County Branch of the New Jer-
sey State Poormasters' Association
yesterday in the City Hall, this
city. 1t was stated that figures could
readily be presented which would
prove the levy on municipalities
would absolutely show no equity and
the members of the Hudson County
branch went so far as to empower
Poormaster Harry L. Barck, jr., of
this city, who is president of the
State association, to make a tour of
the State and enlist every one of the
4S5 overseers of the poor in a fight
against the continuance of the bill in
force.
1t was argued that the strength
which would be shown by the poor
masters would be such as to cause
a reconsideration of the measure at
the special session. Should the act
remain in force the poormasters have
decided to go ahead on their own in
itiative and take care of the poor
whenever necessary, regardless of the
act which they stated they believed
was unconstitutional.

1t is she who feels the screws of
tariffs and trusts, of privately
natural resources, of war taxes and
luxuries of parasite men and women
These burdens are all of the same
piece-post and parcel of the same
economic point of view. Every time
one of them is attacked and weak
ened privilege in general is shaken in
it's stronghold. Perhaps the greatest
advantage from putting through the
just prepared tariff bill will be the
blow it viii give to privilege. 1t will
be like taking one of the strongest
forts of a besieged enemy.
But the Underwood bill aims to
come more directly than this to the
relief of the hard pressed woman. 1t
has undertaken to give her the adj
vantages of a free world market in
all those things which are necessary
to life. So far as the tariff restricts
this market its days are numbered if
this bill passes.
Take her home, her house. ever
since the CIVIL War, the American
housewife has been paying war taxes
on that house-and of everything that
went into it-beginning with the lum-
Der from which it was built. For
years after the war lumber was
so dear in the Western States that
even well-to-do men and women lived
in sod houses They were helping to
pay for the war then and they are
doing so still She has paid taxes on
lumber, but not only that.
She has paid them on the nails that
held the lumber together,
On the glass that went into the
windows of the house!
On the screens she used in summer!
On the locks and hinges of the door!
On the paper on the walls!
On the carpet on the floor
Everything, literally that went into
the house bore tariff-even the lime
that makes the plasterl
The new Underwood bill aims to
free entirely or. in part, all of these
things.
1t put lumber of the free list, lumber
laths and shingles. 1t makes nails
free. 1t cuts the tariff on lime nearly
in half; it does the same for window
glass, for wallpaper, for carpets and
for furniturel
Where the old duty is retained UNI
der the new bill it has been carefully
adjusted so that the woman will have
all the advantage which comes from
putting an article under fair eompe-
tition in a worldwide market. AS it
has been, the duties have been so
high that they have made it impos
sible for her to get any advantage
from world competition. The domes-
tic manufacturer of window glass, for
instance, could always afford to sell
for less than the importers who had
to pay high duty. He could under
sell the foreigner, but he could and
did combine at home to keep up the
prices of window glass above what
they would have been if there had
been an open market. Under the
lower duties of the Underwood bill
the trust maker will have no such
protection. He will have to compete
and the woman's home will have the
advantage.
But another benefit will come to her
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-04-23

from this bill. 1t will relieve her
from variety of tariff taxes which
are not ordinarily counted because
not on the surface. Into the cost Of
everything must be counted the cost
of iron ore. of coal. of tools and ma
chimes of all sorts. Now all of
these things have for years borne
duties. 1t would be impossible to
figure exactly what their effect on
manufactured articles has been, but
it has been something substantial.
Just read the prayers of manufae-
turers for protection and you will
see what use they make of these
duties on raw materials to get higher
rates on their products:
Here is man who makes frying
pans. He has a protection of so per
cent. we will say. and he wants 10
per cent 1t is doubtful il anybody
ever imported a frying-pan, but he
will grow eloquent over the danger
of his doing so and he will exhibit
the long list of duties he has to pay
duties on coal. on iron ore, on iron
plates. on machinery.
BY what logic can you put a duty
on all the materials he uses and re-
fuse one on what he makes? 1t is i'm
possible to deny him; he gets his duty
and out of sympathy, If for no other
reason. the price of frying-pans scars.
The Underwood bill does a great
deal to put an end to this sort of
tariff making. 1t gives a man his
raw materials free; it cuts down the
protection on tools and machinery
This being done there is no logical
reason why frying-pans and other
things necessary in the woman's
household should have anything like
the protection which has been theirs
1t is probable that it will be by re-
moving a multitude of unseen taxes
like these that the Underwood bill
will help the woman most. The bill
goes through American industry like
a man. axe in hand, goes up and
down stream long INSTRUCTED by
overhanging trees, Accommodations of
drift. sand bars and rocks. He cuts
away branches, pulls out piledAup logs
and rocks. frees the stream to do its
natural work. So the Underwood bill
has sought to free industry by pulling
out every useless obstruction it could
handle. It is a long step towards
undermining privilege. and every man
and woman who hates privilege
should fight for its passage.

URGES SIMPLICITY
OF DRESS ON GIRLS
Education Commissioner Sug'
gests Economy in Preparing
for Graduation Exercises.
TFrom a stan Correspondent

TRENTON, N. j.. April 2S.-As-
sistant Commissioner of Edu-
cation A. B. Meredith yester-
day issued a pamphlet rec
ommending simplicity in dress and
the eliminating of extraordinary ex-
penses in connection with the grad
uating exercises of the high schools
soon to be conducted throughout the
State The pamphlet has the en-
dorsement of the members of the
State Board of Education and will
be generally circulated throughout
the schools of the State.
In his suggestions regarding high
school graduation exercises Mr..
Meredith says in part:
AT this time of the year high school
teachers and the members of graduating
classes turn their thoughts toward the
closing exercises of the school. In view
of this fact, may 1t not be well to con
slider plans for making these exercises
more truly representative of actual high
school work? At the same time would
not the democratic spirit which should
pervade all public school activities tend
-sized2
In the case of girls, the question of
dress is often u serious one, when the
elaboration and extension of graduating
exercises lead a girl to think that she
must have more than one dress in order
to be properly graduated. 1t is not nee
essary that her clothing should be cheap
or inappropriate, but it should be such
that no other pupil need be made TO
feel the embarrassment of less expen-
sive dress.
While there is not so much probability
of ostentation in the dress of-boys, yet
the general principle of simplicity and
consideration for the circumstances of
the entire class should be maintained.
II such were the case, pupils wearing
formal evening dress would not be seen
at high school functions.
Tuskegee furnishes us an excellent sug-
gestion of what a graduating exercise
may be for that type OF school, one
student lays up a brick wall, another
shingles a roof, another puts tires on
ercises which represent permanent val
ues, rather than those in which they
are drilled for a special occasion. with
the activities now found in many II not
most of our high schools, surely some.
thing can be found which more truly
represents the real work of the school
than mere verbal displays.
Nevertheless, the public high school
does stand for work in the field of his
tory, literature, art and science. as well
have to do with merely getting on In
the world. Whenever the former sub
jects can be truly represented In the
graduating program, there is place FOR
them.
He closes by showing several
specimen programs in New Jersey
high schools.

AUTO-POLO FEATURE OF
BUFFALO BILLS SHOW

In the long list of innovations
among the stadium features with
Buffffalo Bits and Pawnee Bits
Wild West and Far East, this year,
and one attracting widespread atten-
ton from every lover of exciting out
door sport, is the new dare game of
auto-polo, and it is some dare as pre-
sented personally by its famous in
ventor, Roltz King, with corps of
equally noted demon drivers. The
game is the regulation one, with the
excepted substitution of autos for
horses, and witnessing it is, instan-
taneous conviction that it has come
to stay and is far enough in advance
of the century's thrillers to assure
it's distinctive appeal to the devotee
of daredevil stunts for leng time
to come.
The forthcoming visit of the big
show to Newark, Tuesday, May 13,
fresh from its New York triumphs,
will present the game exactly as
given at the Garden.

SURVIVES SHOT IN HEAD

CAMDEN, n. j., April 2S.-Al-
though Mrs. Lydia Harris, aged 35
years, of 512 Kaighn avenue, Camden,
has been in the Cooper Hospital since
she was shot in the head last Satur-
day by Joseph Broadway, boarder,
who later died from a self-infiicted
wound, physicians have been unable
to locate the bullet, which entered
the woman's forehead over the left
eye. 1t was at first thought she had
been perhaps fatally injured, but 1t
is now the general impression that
the leaden pellet just grazed the
skull. At any rate, Mrs. Harris is
quickly recovering, and will be able
to leave the institution in few days.

ROADS CHALLENGE
CAUSES A HEARING
Utility Board Orders Reconsid-
GRAFTON of Drinking Water
Edict Affecting Railways.

TRENTON, N. j.. April 23.-The
Board of Public Utility Commission
ers has ordered rehearing to be
held at the State House. Trenton, on
Thursday. May l. at Il O'Clock, in the
matter of provision of drinking water
on passenger trains. by certain rail-
roads in the state. The railroads af-
fected are the Erie Railroad Com
pany New York. susquehanna and
Western Railroad Company, Della
ware. Lackawanna and Western Rail-
road Company and the West Jersey
and Seashore Railroad Company.
Some time ago the board issued an
order requiring these companies to
supply drinking water on all passen-
ger cars on trains, the schedule of
which showed one-half hour or more
to make the run between the starting
point and the last station stopped at
in New Jersey.
The boards order has been chal-
lenged, on the ground that the fixing
of the one-half hour as controlling
the question whether drinking water
should be provided. was an. arbitrary
act, and that the testimony before
the board was insufficient to show
that trains might not be properly op-
Grated for more than thirty minutes
without discomfort or any injury to
health because of the absence of
drinking water.
It is understood to be the intention
of the board to give consideration to
these points at the rehearing of the
matter.

ALL Salaries IN
STATE PRISON CUT
Failure of the Legislature to
Grant Request for Funds
Causes Action.
TFrom = stan Correspondents

TRENTON, N. J., April 23.-Failure
of the Legislature to comply with the
requests of the State Board of Prison
inspectors for additional moneys for
labor at the State prison win necessi-
tate a reduction in the salaries of the
employees. This statement is author
lied by the State Board of Prison In
spectors.
Employees of the State prison re-
ceiving 500 or more a month will be
cut nearly 10 per cent. Those receiv-
ing less than 800 will suffer reduc-
ton of about per cent. The prison
inspectors viii certify notice of this
change in salaries to the Civil Serv-
ice Commission this week, to take eff
feet May /.
The late Legislature appropriated
SIP, 900 for deputies and employees at
the State prison. Additional sums of
$4,000 were asked for in the supple
mental bill and $4,000 in the annual
appropriation bill. Both requests
were turned down.
In addition the board of prison in
speotors is brought to the problem
of salaries for the deputies at the
State prison farm, which the prison
labor commission has already pur-
chased Attorney General Wilson is
now engaged in searching title to the
farm, which is located in Cumberland
county 1t is expected the land will
be turned over to the State about
June /.
The prison inspectors in support of
the proposed decrease in salaries to-
day authorized this statement: I'VE
are unable to make both ends meet,
and in the interest of economy the
board was compelled to make con-
siderable curtailments in the salaries
naid to employees of the State prison
