A DEAR FOE.


 Dear Miss Libbey: would like your advice about girl friend who makes it a habit to be at my home when I have my young man calling on me She remains until he makes a motion to leave. then on go her hat and coat. If he staid until eleven o'clock, it would be all the same to her. If he does net ask to walk home with her she remarks, T suppose you are going my way as much as to ask him to accompany her home. My feelings are hurt very badly. but I would not like to insult her to make her angry. Please tell me what to do.
 B. M. B.
 There is but one way to treat a girl Of that kind She is not your friend. would suggest that you tell her frankly that you cannot entertain her on the evening your beau comes, and that if she is desirous of seeing you she must call some other time Never mind what she thinks. She is not caring what you think of her bold, unn7aidenly, deliberate attempt to win your lover from you

THREE |NHER|TENCE
TAX BILLS PASSED
Democrats Get Colgate's Vote
for Administration Revenue
Measures.
Especial to the Evening star.I

TRENTON, March 25.-With the
Democratic Senators voting affirma-
lively and with tho assistance of
Senator Colgate the adm ,nistration
revenue measures to extend the oper-
alton of the collateral Inheritance
tax act passed the Senate yester-
day. The bills provide for a gradu-
ated schedule of tax action of the
estates of nonresident decedents. In
one of his characteristic speeches,
straight from the shoulder. Senator
Colgate said he would support the
bills because they seemed to be fair
and honest.
II do not want to stand for the
double taxation of the banks or the
bills to increase the fees of the au-
tomobilists. but here comes a bill
that taxes the dead. and no one will
kick on that. 1t is perfectly safe and
] VIII vote for a bill like that,
whether or not it Is favored by the
majority" he said
The Democratic Senators all sup
ported the bill, particularly Senator
Hennessy and Senator McGinnis.
This ought not to be O partisan
question" said Senator Hennessy.
THE responsibility for the condition
of our State finances today certainly
does not rest on the party that is now
in power nor can the extravaganza of
the State in the past be charged to the
majority party now. All the States
recognize this bill as a legitimate
source of taxation and the only OBJ
jections that may be raised to the
bill are the rates of taxation pro-
posed"
Senator Rathbun, Republican, OPP
posed the bill on the ground of the
numerous exemptions from the pro-
posed tax permitted in the bill. Sem
ators Edge and Read wanted the
finances of the State at present laid
bare before they would vote to raise
revenue in the manner proposed
They claimed they were not acquaint-
ed with the condition of State finances
at present and did net know whether
or not the Legislature would be con-
fronted with deficit.
The second of the inheritance tax
bills proposed 5 per cent. tax on any
stock that may be held by a nom
resident decedent in New Jersey cor
porations. Senator Egan favored the
bill and it passed, with twelve affirm
alive votes and no votes opposed.
The third bill empowered the State
comptroller to equip himself with the
necessary assistants to carry on the
work proposed in the two accom-
panying bills.

Smith referred to Assemblyman
Branegan, the majority leader. Dur
ing the debate on the bank tax
amendment the members and spec

climax came when Mr.. Smith arose
from his seat and forcibly pushed the
Democratic leader away.
Assemblyman Branegan made light
OF the occurrence, pass ng 1t Off by
explaining that he had only peen
