THE STATES FINANCIAL YEAR.

The fiscal year of the State ends October 31st
and the accounts of the State treasurer will then
show whether the Legislature will have to pro-
vide for additional make slashing cuts in
the States expenditures to make both ends meet.
Senator Hennessy next winter will be ON hand
with report to show how economies can be effected
and probably it will get practical attention al
though there has been legislature of this
State friendly to the practice of except in the
way of sacrificing good public object starving
the State institutions.
The direct Inheritance tax law passed by the last
Legislature forced by necessity to avoid a
direct tax on the people The old law something
of farce although of late years it has given the
state fairly good income. What the new law is
worth in that respect may perhaps be judged by the
figures the comprollers report for the period the
law has been in operation
There will be considerable reduction in the tax
income from miscellaneous corporations and this de-
cline will go probably for several years The new
bank tax, however, more than compensates for this
loss.

NO INLAND WATERWAY.

Shortsighted selfish and unpatriotic the
motives that in the Senate forced the sacrifice of all
the appropriations in the rivers and harbors bill for
new projects. The motives were the same as those
that for many years. by every INSCRIPTIONS MEANS de-
eated Congress the great enterprise of the building
of the Panama canal.
The principal object of waterway enterprise is the
construction of a great ship canal along the Atlantic
coast a work as important to the welfare of the
nation the Panama canal Railways parallel the
route of this canal, and that makes reason for
opposition If the canal is built the West will demand
waterway from the Great Lakes to the Gulf and the
route will parallel railroads
If these canals built there will be demand for
other canals to connect and thus will have a
waterway system similar to that of countries in
Europe, where the railroad is not alpowerfu because
it is in government ownership. Here you have the
of the railroad opposition to great inrastate
canals and their horror of river and harbor bills
While commerce is to be enormously benefited by
inland waterway along the Atlantic coast, which
will upon people the of cheaper prices
the national defense will be vastly increased. The
Kiel canal recently widened, is striking illustration
of the enormous value of an inland waterway with
it's terminals and harbors If the proposed canal were
built could transfer batteships from one har-
Dor to another. Our ships could emerge from Boston
harbor, of New York bay, the Delaware bay, or
Chesapeake bay will to blockade or attack
an enemy and could transfer submarines in the
same way
1t will take years to build inland waterway, and
this Congress has yielded to the selfish promptings of
private opposed to and put off all hope of
canal indefinitely Secretary of the Navy Daniels at
Albany yesterday seloquently descanted the stra-
tegical importance of an inland waterway, but what
the use? His arguments have been used over and
over and what does Congress care?

WILSON AND A SECOND TERM.

The Interpretation of Secretary Tumutys die
tated letter to State Treasurer Grosscup expressing
views of President Wilson in regard to indorse
ment by the Democratic State convention next Tues
day for second presidential term, is plain enough.
AS the letter says, Mr.. Wilson simply deprecates
the idea of a State Endorsement, it would by inn
plicaton place him in the position of seeking second
term, New Jersey being his home State There is no
disavowal of candidacy in 1916, presumably because
President did feel called upon at this time to
state his position, which will be governed by crcum-
stances.
Probably the expressed desire of the President will
be respected by the State Democratic convention The
letter Mr. Grosscup is insisent that nothing pre-
mature shall be DONE The next presidential election
is than two years away and there is plenty of
time meanwhile to give voice the preference of the
New Jersey Democracy.
1t would anyhow, be more in accordance with the
eternal fitness of things for the Democrats of some
other State to take the initiative as that would pre-
vent any impression the Tumulty letter says that
the compliment originated among personal friends.

The Evening Star and War News

The following communication which
speaks for itself has been received
by the Evening Star:
I'm behalf of many Germans and
German Americans residing in my
neighborhood, ! desire to express to
the Star our utmost appreciation for
it's liberal or, rather, correct, atti-
tude in regard to the publication of
news of the war. The Evening
Stars stand in this regard is most
praiseworthy and far and away
above that of any other newspaper
printed in the English language in
the vicinity of Newark.
''It is not only our opinion. but we
believe also the opinion of all other
right thinking persons, that every
American paper should preserve a
neutral attitude in the present world
war. But, alas. this Is not the case
In so far as most of the newspapers
printed in English are concerned.
Some Of the latter are so completely
tinged with a British complexion that
even non-German cannot but see
at a glance that all their reports and

am still alive and in fairly good
health and yet my career has been
cOnIemporaneouS with American
transportation development.
Ihere was first the stagecoach.
and the stagecoach was the great in
centive in giving national aid to in
ternal Improvement Henry Clay
secured thousands of followers be-
cause he obtained Federal aid for
good roads stretching from the At
lantic to the agricultural regions west
of the Alleghanies.
Il We'll remember when the stage
coach, the Conestoga wagon, and the
herd of cattle raised vast clouds of
dust along The national pixies. Today
II is my good fortune to see the motor
tourists reviving the life and activity
on the pixies which were characteristic
of the stagecoachers.
Then there was the second develop
ment-that of the canals. 1 suppose
that today not one in 100000 of our
people ever made a journey on
canalboat. But in the '30's and '40's
heavy freight and passenger travel
were chiefly by canal. Many great
enterprises were undertaken to finance
and complete canal development, al
though money was scarce and labor
hard to get. With the canal came the
marvellous opening up of the South
and the West. 1t was then thar
Pittsburgh received the name of the
Gate of the West, for at Pittsburgh
river navigation began. remember
well when it was the ambition of
every man to be engaged in some
capacity on a steamboat. With the
next transportation development many
of those now living are thoroughly
familiar That. of course, was the
development of railroads We are
indeed a young country and this is
proved by the fact that I can recall
each of the transportation eras and
developments and had considerable
part In each"

Case of a Burnt Child

When a troupe of actors appeared
at local hotel last week. the lead
ing man approached the desk and
asked if he could accommodate
thirty persons The clerk replied
that he could. At this information,
the man wrote his name and placed
after it the name of the play in
which the actors took part.
Just about this time the manager
of the hotel CHANGED by and asked
how many were registering. He was
given the number. Then he looked
at the register and cried, in voice
that shook the hotel: Now, you
men, look here. You may come to
this hotel, sign your names, but l
will not stand for you defacing my
register with the name of the play
in which you appear"
I The leading man then asked what
his reasons were. The answer ran
as follows: well, two months ago
troupe of actors came to this place
and signed the name of the play with
which they were engaged. They
signed paid In Full" and some OF
them skipped away without paying
one darned penny of their BILL"
