cratic revision of the tariff got under
way today, when the House ways and
means committee began hearings

tariff bill of the next congress to re-
peal the Payne-Aldrich law. Today's
hearing was on schedule "a" tho
chemical schedule.

the House office building, the first
hearing of month-long series look
ing to the preparation of a. law to

pledges of an Immediate downward
revision" and tariff for revenue
only" was begun.
Most. of the Democratic majority of
the present ways and means commit
tee will go into the next congress,
which convenes in extra session, prob
ably between March and early April.
When the tariff hearings are ended
Democrats of the committee will de-
vote themselves in daily executive
sessions to the formulation of the
tentative tariff legislation which they
hope to have ready by March is, If
not earlier.
The concrete result of their deliber-
atoms. the new tariff rates from acids
to zinc: the expansion of the free list
and so on, will be formally passed
upon at caucus of the representa-
tives of the new House, to be called
soon after the opening of the extra
session. This caucus will determine
whether the new tariff legislation shall
be in the form of a. single measure or

that procedure, it is urged by its adj
vocates, long rolling or trading on

urday night, when the scheme was

govern the many.
who are its chief advocates?

Big Business and out-of-a-job poll
ticians.
why does Big Business want COM
mission government?
"Answer-So that trust dominat ion
may be extended from the economic
to the political field.
what will be the result, IL adopted
by West Orange?
"Answer-That these five men will
have the right to elect a mayor from
their own ranks. That if they feel
so disposed these commissioners
the number to three. That two men
would be a majority of three, thus
placing our town virtually in the
hands of two individuals. That the
Walsh act authorizes these men to
create new boards in the town gov
eminent. That they may create or
abolish all subordinate departments
as they choose. That they can re-
construct the whole fabric of our
town government at their pleasure
That our policemen, f1remen, parl,
and other workers are absolutely al
the mercy of these five-or two-men
That the granting of franchises, the
purchasing of all supplies and the fix

oitos supreme Court.

the problem upon a totally different
theory"
Citss Supreme Court.
Here Senator Pierce cites several
cases in which the United States
Supreme Court decided that it is nee
essary for railroads to eliminate
grade crossings, repair defective
bridges and install safety devices
He continues
The principle of law involved IN
the cases cited is as old as the hills.
Applied daily to factories, 1t means
the installation of safety devices. APP
piled to theatres, hotels and public
buildings, it means safe construction
and fre-escapes. Applied to rail-
roads. 1t means gates and fiagmen,
and when the danger point is reached,
the elimination of the crossing.
mo more reason can be given in
principle why the public should help
pay for crossing elimination than it
should help pay for gates and flag
men, or help factories install safety
devices, or help theatres and hotels
install flre-eseapes. What the rail-
roads seek, though, they may not
realize 1t, is discrimination in their
favor as against other business"

state senator Carlton B. Pierce OF
Union county. today issued a state
ment crlticizing the Public utihty
csonmission for suggesting that the
municipalities of the state bear IN
mari the cost Of the elimination OF
grade crossings.
1his. he says, is equivalent to an
opiuion that the municipalities should
also help the railroads defray the
aost of repairing their stations or
paying the salries of their EN-
ployees
The statement follows:
sarhe recent action of the Public
Utilities Board, in volunteering
second time it's opinion that the cost
M grade crossing elimination should
be placed in part upon the local
municipality. is matter for regret.
THE question is one Of Etate policy

call for expert opinion, or expert
knowledge. The average citizen is
as competent to pass upon 1T as the

Charters Cover Question.
"A singular and important fact af-
feets the grade crossing situation in
New Jersey. Prior to 1873 the rail-
roads were chartered by special act.
These acts are substantially uniform
in language, and in each case cover
the grade crossing question by in
Guiding a requirement that the road
shall separate its grade at interseet-
ing highways.
These charters are the conditions
Of the roads existence and are fun

Does the Utilities Board say
they should not be fulfilled? The
roads accepted the charters and
hoday are enjoying the benefits

Assuming it originally question
whether the State should or should
not require the roads to separate
grades, the question was, think, set
eIed. and the policy of the State es'
tablished. when the condition was
Imposed in tine charters, and tht
cnarters were accepted.
But the duty of the roads rests

SUES FOR SI,905 TO AVOID
U. S. SUPREME COURT
Were 1t SIS More Case Would
Go to Highest Tribunal.

The suit of Miss Jennie Schaechter,
of Valley road, West Orange, against
the Pennsylvania railroad for 1895
alleged damages is on hearing before
Judge Nelson Y. DUNCAN, in the SUI
preme Court.
Miss Schaechter was injured, so she
claims. in her bill of complaint, July
II. 1910. when a Pennsylvania train
she was about to board in the Jersey
City terminal was suddenly started,
throwing her to the platform and
causing injuries from which she still
| suffers.
The odd amount of the damages
claimed, 1895, as explained by Ralph
E. Lum. of Lum, Tamblyn & Collier.
is due to the fact that by keeping the
damages below $1,000 the case will be
kept out of the United States SUI
| preme Court.
