FIELDER CONFERS
ON Jury TANGLE
Meets Attorney-oenerai on Sit
uation Provoked by chancel-
Tor Bill Decision.

TRENTON, Jan. Ex-Governor Fiel-
der and John W. Wescott, the new
attorney general conferred this aft
ernoon on the bill which Senator
McGinniss, Democratic leader intro
duced last night, with d view to
Strengthening out the tangle brought
about by the recent ratification of the
chancellor-sheriff jury bill. The Nc
Ginniss bill would validate the acts OF
the present grand and petit jurors
and continue them in office until the
new law Is put In force. 1t provides
that where an act concerning juries is
sustained by the Court of Appeals, the
juries then in session shall be declared
10 be duly summoned for matters of
court.
The Governor and the Attorney
General conferred for some time, and
when he left the Executive Mr.. Wes-
colt was not inclined to talk OF the
conference. He did say, however. that
he did not think the subject was so
momentous as some people had been
led to believe.
The Attorney General took the oath
of office after he left the Governor.
1t was administered by Supreme
Court Justice Trenchard.
The details of the talk he had with
Governor Fielder. Mr.. Wescott would
not discuss but it is thought that 1t
Is necessary to prepare a bill cover
ing the situation, as it is felt that the
present juries are good until the April
term of court.
Mr.. Wescott said he would not an
nounce his selection as Assistant At
torney-General Immediately.
Instances of the mix-up that has
followed Governor Fielder's assertion
that the State now is practical y with
out a jury law are cropping up In
many sections of the State.
William c. Gebhardt, clerk Of the
Supreme Court, yesterday said oppos-
ing counsel in a case he had in the
Morris County Court must agree IN
presence of the judge to abide by the
verdict Of the jury as chosen before
he will proceed with the case.
Many cases in Union county had to
be abandoned yesterday because of
the jury law tangle. Judge w liam
H. Speer, of Hudson county, sitting
In civil cases. refused to permit the
trials to begin. unless opposing coun-
sci consented to abide by the jury's
decision. Failing to obtain the con-
sent of the lawyers, Judge Speer was
forced to adjourn court for the day.

TAXES MUST Be
PAID BY MARCH 81
ONLY A FEW DAYS OF GRACE ARE
LEFT TO SETTLE WITH
COUNTY TREASURER.

County Treasurer Henry Glenn has
announced that the people of the
county and city have only few more
days Of grace in which to settle for
the first half Of the taxes for 1918.
April 1 is the day on which the pen
atty will be attached to the amount of
the taxes, which are due the county
by the various property owners who
have not settled by that time. That
leaves just thirteen more days of
grace and Mr.. Glenn says that Tues
day, March 81, is positively the last
day to escape the penalty being added
to the tax amounts.
State Examiner Hunt, when here
last summer, emphasized very strong
ly the fact that this matter of allow
ing few days of grace after the allot-
ed time was one which must be stop
ped in all Of the counties of the state.
The penalty dates back to March / and
is rated at the amount of one per cent
for each month that is allowed to
elapse before the payment is made.

! not best to let well enough alone rather
than invite other ills we know not of
whether it is not wiser to cure such de-
fects as may cucumber the present
system rather than run the danger OF
plunging this mighty industry into the
whirlpool of party politics for all time,
with its attendent opportunity for evil
of which the past affords such rich va
riety of experience. The United States
is still young country, and in many
sections only partially developed. Many
new lines and extensions are needed
here and there to give wider oppOr-
tunity to expanding agriculture and
commerce, and nothing could bu more
unfortunate and disastrous than that
these favors could henceforth be OBJ
tanned only by leave of the dominant
political factions which will reign at
the national capital in the years to
come. Political parties are intensely
human institutions, and the average
cautious citizen will perfer to leave the
railroad expansion of the future to the
economic law of supply and demand of
the different communities rather than
to place such temptation for power in
the hands of those who rise and fall in
the field of politics. Furthermore,
should the time ever come when the
government takes over the railroads, it
means that the people will have to fore
go the millions of taxes which they
now pay and which help to support the
public schools, public highways, and
other public expenses. Many other
things could be said upon this phase of
the question, but space forbids. For
some time, the government, through
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
has. been engaged in making physical
valuation of all our railroads as mat
ter of guidance for future rate adjust
ments. Again, we repeat, since the
people absolutely control and regulate
the railroads, is that not enough? viii
it not be better to let well enough alone
to cling to that which is good and ell
inmate that which is bad in the present
system which, with all that has been
said against it, furnishes the best and
cheapest transportation in the world?
INCREASED COST OF OPERATION.
We now wish to refer briefly to an
other phase of the problem. For
number of years the cry of the thigh
cost of living has been everywhere
abroad in the land. Time was, not so
many years ago, when the farmer sold
his corn at 25 cents per bushel. Now it
brings from so cents to rs cents. So,
too, he sold hogs at cents per pound,
which now readily bring from cents to
10 cents-while a good steer calf, which
used to bring from SO to $12, now sells
for from $50 to S25. Nobody VINO

Why the Cost Of Operating
Railroads Has been Increased
Struggling Agants Increased Cost of Labor and Supplies
on One Hand---Reduced Rates the Other.

During the last few years the advo-
Gates of government ownership of
railroads have been somewhat persis-
tent in the public press and the matter
is referred to here, not with any idea of
combating this propaganda, but merely
that the people may briefly see both
sides of the picture. So long as lot
of men welcome the wrecking of the
railroads on the theory that the govern
ment will take them over and that such
a state of affairs would be preferable
to private ownership, it will be i'm
possible to obtain from them a fair
judgement of the latter system which
now prevails in the United States. It
is impossible to go into this great ques-
ton at any length at this time, but here
are a few things worth thinking about.
Much has been said in recent years
about the water contained in American
railroad securities, and, in this connect
ion the valuation of the government
owned railroads of Europe is very in
teresting In Germany the state own
ed roads are capitalized at $114, 185 per
mile, in Austria at $120, 692, in Hungary
at s69, $40, in Italy at sips, 1856, in Bel
GUM at S190,914, in Switzerland at
S1O2, $50, in Roumania at $50, 118, in
Japan at s99, 1O4, in New South Wales
at 81, 391-while in the privately owned
lines of the United Statee, regardless
of what water may have been forced
into them in specific instances, are cap
italized at only 500, 944 per mile. What
ever imitation may therefore have been
put into these properties in the past,
the fact remains that their present val
uation is much lower than that of the
government owned railroads of Europe,
and, what is still more important, the
rates charged are the lowest and the
service rendered admittedly the best in
the world.
In this connection, statement con-
tanned in the last annual report of the
Deutsche Bank of Berlin, which has
paid-up capital and reserve fund Of S75,-
OOO, 900, is interesting: American
railroads need higher rates. The pres
ent rates are the lowest in the world
representing but a fraction of the Eng
fish railway rates, for instance-and
this in the face of the fact that wages
in the United States on the average are
fully twice as high as in Europe" Ger
tainly this view of the privately owned
lines of the United States, coming from
Germany, which has the most success
full state owned system of transporta-
ten in the world, is worthy of grave
consideration.
LETTING WELL ENOUGH ALONE.
In view of these facts, the average
citizen may ask himself whether it is
