PROGRESS|VES
FAVOR FUSION
AFTER PRIMARY
That Is, if Suitable Candidates
Are Not Developed on That
Occasion.

After several lengthy arguments the
Progressive County Committee last
night voted to approve the Progress
| sive City Committees after primary
! fusion plans. This action was taker
! following an explanation of the situa-
/ ton by George M. Denny, named as a
Board of Works candidate.
There were clash after clash oil
| opinion on the subjects. Joseph Tan
nenbaum, Jacob C. Taylor and Elliot
T. Ford spoke very emphatically In
! favor of naming Progressive candi-
dates for the mayoralty and Board OF
Works nominations All these men
in their remarks lodged gentle but
pointed criticisms at the manner in
which the so-called fusion movement
had been conducted.
The criticisms for the most part
were directed at Colonel James w.
Howard and Algernon r. Sweeney,
chairman of the city committee, the
two leaders of the fusion boom.
Mr.. Tannenbaum was particularly
emphatic in his denunciation of the
methods employed in an attempt to
bring about fusion. He declared the
time wasted by the fusion promoters
had made it impossible for the Pro-
gressives to select a suitable candi-
date for the mayoralty office. He de-
clared that the Board of Works and
mayors nominations were liable to
be filled by some ringer" or "tin ket-
tle'' candidates, if the Progressives
fell asleep and did not name candi-
dates for these offices. Mr.. Taylor
and Mr. Ford spoke along the same
lines adopted by Mr.. Tannenbaum but
in a milder fashion
Mr.. Sweeney sat through the meet
n 10 M nj fn nj IN
any of the criticisms that were
launched against the fusion move
ment Colonel Howard was not at
the meeting.
Howard S. Dodd. of Glen Ridge, de-
| clared that by joining a dignitied
! fusion movement, the Progressive
party would show the people that II
! was fighting for principle and com
mon good, irrespective of selfish gain
! or party distinction. George M. Judd
echoed Mr.. Dodd's sentiments
Mr.. Denny then followed with his
explanation, which assured the
Doubling Thomases" that if the
primaries did not present suitable
candidates for municipal offices, the
city committee would name by petit
ton candidates for the Offices After
this the vote was taken and the ac-
ton of the city committee was up
held.
Irving X. Taylor, chairman of the
county committee. stated at the
meeting that the European war had
practically upset his importing bust
ness. He said he had intended to
take an active part in the fall cam
paign, but that, unless the conditions
improved, he would have to put aside
his political desires and look out for
his business. He was given a vote of
confidence
A letter was received from the
Thirteenth Ward Progressive Com
mittee critieising Governor Fieldsr
for taking $112.OO0 from the $25O0OO
appropriated for State normal schools
and using it for the promotion of a
dog hospital to cure consumptive

but no action was taken.

bushels of as much as last year had
a bullish effect today on the wheat
market here. Advanced prices, how
ever, did not last. An increase in
the European visible supply counted
against the bulls After opening \
to IL higher, the market underwent
a decided sag and then rallied to
slightly above last nights level
Corn held steady in the absence
of any large orders on either side OF
the market. Quotations tended tC
keep within &c; range.
Oats were sustained by continued
export demand. Sweden was said to
have asked for an offer on 625, 00t
bushels.
Provisions lacked support. Higher
prices for hogs failed to stimulate
buying.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 2-Election of
officers and selection of a convention
city were on the program today at
the annual meeting of United Span
ish War Veterans, while the woman's
national auxiliary was to consider a
resolution asking that all other wom-
ems organizations in the country join
hands with the auxiliary to secure
immediate peace in war-ridden Eu-
rope"
Nominations to head the veterans
organization were made yesterday.
Cities most prominently mentioned
Omaha and San Francisco.
Consideration of various legislative
matters connected with the organiza-
ton also was on the program today.
Yesterday the convention appropri-
ated 5000 for the use of the American
Red Cross and directed that it be
spent for the relief of sufferers in
the European war; asked that Con-
gress establish a national museum at
Washington, where the relics of all
wars in which the United States has
been involved may be preserved; re-
quested the secretary of the interior
to investigate the cause of malady
prevalent among veterans who have
seen service In the tropics IL was
characteristic of the disease, it was
said, that the blood of those afflicted
with 1t, turns to water.
The convention has provided for a
membership at large to include vet
Grams in localities where they are too
few to form a camp.
Resolutions commencing President
wilson's Mexican policy and pledg-
ing the associations support in his
efforts to preserve the neutrality of
the United States In the European
war crisis were adopted late yester-
day.
Opposition to commentator in the
resolution of the Presidents watch

brought a two-hour debate, but the
resolutions were adopted by a big
majority. .---

The Essex County Board of Taxa
tion today fixed the county tax ratio
and the tax rates of three munich
palities The county rate was fixed
at .6940. This will make Newark s
city rate EOS.
Irvingtons rate was fixed at 2.03
or 2.04. This is ten points higher
than last years rate. Irvington re-

The rate for East Orange was fixed
at 1876. This is practically the same
as last year.
City Ratables.
The total city ratables this year
were $403, 1879, 704. A total of 81 ,491, 902
was RENTED by the county and State
tax boards as a result of appeal by
property-owners. From this amount
sums of $552912 and $103,110, making
a total of $656,022, are deducted.
The first figures represent the adj
ditions made last year after the
county rate was fixed. The latter
amount represents the total amount
of the county board reductions re-
stored by the State board on appeal
by the city.
The difference between $1,491, 902
the State and county tax board re-
missions, and $656,022 is $685., $3.50. This
figure represents the remissions made
by the county and State boards on
appeal, and is correcting last year s
taxes. The 1896, 1880 figures, sub
tracted from s403, 1879, 704 the city
ratables, give $402 1863, 1924, the revised
20 a w &c h.. an,
which the tax rate Is apportioned.
The tax which the city must pay
the county amounts to $2,792, 494.
This is found by multiplying $402.-
1924, the revised city ratables, by
.6940. the county tax rate.
The Common Council fixed the
city's budget at s,732, 900 This
amount, together with the $2,792, 494
county tax money, brings the total
up to $685., 494, which the city would
have to raise, except for the bank
tax. The bank tax amounts to
$96,041. This is the amount the
banks in the city pay in taxes on
their stock.
Brings Rate to 2.O8
The bank tax, deducted from
$S.524, 494, leaves total of $S,42S, 453,
which the city must raise by taxa

The county board, however, deducted
Al 900 poll taxes, which brings the
tax rate down to EOS, the official fig
ures fixed by the board today. One
point represents about SAC, 1000.
The revised county ratables amount
ed to $619, 1926. The county budget
was fixed at $4,410,S92 The bank tax
! due the county from the banks in the
county municipalities amounts to
$110543. The difference between these
| two amounts leaves a total of $4,300,-
| 349, which the county must raise by

The revised budget amount divided
by $619, AIS, 1926, the revised county rat
ables result in a tax rate of .6940.
The Irvington tax rate was fixed at
| 2.03 or 2.04 and the East Orange fig
ures were placed at 1856, which is
approximately the same as last years
rate.
