TESTS FOR NEW LAWS.
"Home Rule" Act Under Fire and
Bank Stock Taxes AssaiIed.

Events indicate that some of the
work Of the recent session Of the
Legislature may be undone by the
higher Courts. Steps have been
taken to carry up to the Supreme
Court the bank stock tax law which
originally bore the name of Senator
Pierce, Of Union, as its sponsor, while
he so-called Hennessy Home Rule
law has been declared unconstitNtion-
al by a Supreme Court Justice, and
appeal will be made to the highest
Court of the State to have it passed
upon finally.
The validity of the bank tax law
is in question in the proceedings
taken, and the point at issue is n
that was raised Immediately after it's
passage by the Senate. That was
that the measure should have
originated in the House under the
constitutional provision that all rev.
e~nue-raising bills shall have their
origin there, while all bills for the
appropriation of funds shall arise in
the Senate. When that question was
raised during the long fight over the
measure Senator Pierce and other
lawyers expressed the belief that it
was not well founded since the bill
looked only to the taxation of local
assessables and should not be taken
to mean a measure for revenue since
it did not apply to the State exche-
quer. However, yielding to the opin-
ion of others that such a distinction
could have no valid foundation the
spo1 sor for the bill and other inter
ested consented to having an AS
sembly substitute offered, and Mr..
Dobpins, Of Union, presented a meas
ure which proved to be identical with
the fierce bill, and it was this that
held the centre of the stage for weeks
and at last got through in the real
big fight Of the session.

fadeway which rivals Mathewson's.
Cornell defeated Princeton by a

that ver witnessed a race on Lake
Cayuga. The Cornell freshman crew
defeated the Princeton freshmen. The
crew of the College of Agriculture
won the i~ntercollege rowing cham
pionship.
Joe Jackson's stand at the bat is
unlike that Of any other player in
that his feet are in a peculiar posi-
ton, close together, but with the
right foot well in advance of the left.
It's a stand all his own, but doesn't
keep him from stepping into the ball
good and strong.
Pres. Gwinner of the Pittsburgh
Feds has ordered Manager Cakes to

ian problem won at the Niagara Falls

entire army out Of Torreon toward
Zacatecas in order to take Mexico
City before the mediation conferences
are over.
Gen Tuerta's delegates at the me-
diation conference refuse to discuss
the question of land law reform. I'm
less President Wilson recedes from
his position in this respect absolute
failure of the conference is expected.
Gen. Huerta's delegates at the me-
dent Wilson that he will not send any
representative, formal or informal,
to the mediation conference.
Villa and Zapata are reported to
have effected an arrangement where
by Huerta's escape from Mexico City
will be rendered next to impossible.

are accused of having fired a number
of shots at Lieut.. Ballinger, U. S. N,

ing the arrival of a delegate from

Removal of Warden.

No criticism can lodge against the
State Forestry Commission for max
ing an example for efficiency by re-
moving a fire warden on proved
charges of incompetency. Rather
should blame be attached to the or
ganization for its lack of supervision
with respect to subordinate service
in the past. The forests and brush
land of Atlantic, Cape May and Cum
berland require the perpetual vigi-
lance of fire wardens. The slightest
relaxation heretofore has always been
followed by destructive CONGREGATIONS
whose loss exceeded the combined ex-
penses of the Forestry Commission for
a decade. 1t is true, however, that the
State is unable to police the extensive
forest reservation of south Jersey,
and wherever possible the local fire
peril should be minimized by COM
munity warden service, the cost Of
which might properly be a county
charge. The State really needs such
assistance quite as badly as property
owners in the forest belt require pro-
lection.

HOME RULE
LAW VOID
Supreme Court Justice Deems
Hennessy Law Unconstitutional
1T is SPECIAL LEGISLATION
Justice Said the Act Sought to Es-
tabaish Classification by Including
Only Those Which Had Adopted
the Walsh Act.

Especial Trenton Correspondence.
TrentonA-The Hennessy home rule
law for commission governed cities
was declared unconstitutional by Su-
preme Court Justice Trenchard. 1t
was designed to give a full measure
of home rule to all cities now gov
erned under the Walsh commission
government law, and it was brought
to the attention of the Court in GER
tiorari proceedings instituted by the
Delaware River Transportation Com
pany to review ordinances adopted by
Trenton that provided for condemning
land along the Delaware River for
harbor purposes and the issuing OF
bonds for park improvements.
Justice Trenchard decided that the
act was absolutely Intellectual for the
purpose of stripping the city of the
powers concerned because such an
act was special legislation and con-
trary to the State constitution. 1t re-
pealed with one sweeping phrase all
the acts under which these cities were
operating and it is this action that the
Court held to be unconstitutional. The
result will be that an appeal will
be taken Immediately and the case
will be argued before the June term
of the Court of Errors and Appeals.
