Preferential voting at primaries will
be given its first test in New Jersey
March "a, provided the Hennessy bill,
which has passed the Senate, is approx
ed by the Assembly and the Governor,
as seems to be assured. The act will be
no experiment, for it is practically du-
plicate of the Wisconsin law, where it
has worked admirably.
The proposed new law, at the coming
special primary election in the Seventh
didates for successor to the late Robert
q. Bremner, will meet just the condition
that brought about its advocacy. There
are quite numerous candidates for the
party nominations.
If none of the candidates receives
enough first-choice votes to give him a
clear majority, then all of the second
choice votes for each candidate are add
ed to their first-choices. If none of the
candidates receive enough first and Sec
ond choice votes, combined, to give him
a clear majority, the third-choice stand
| ing of each candidate is credited to him
in the same way. One of the three COM
petitors must receive a clear lead, as
thus computed, in order to win.
| Passaic voters could therefore cast their
three choices for Passaic candidates if
| they wanted to without endangering the
success of a candidate from their city.
| AS was pointed out in the debate on
| the bill when it was before the Senate,
had the measure been a law at the time
| of the Hughes-Smith Senatorial con-
test, there would have been no necessity
of eliminating from the nominating race
of others who desired the Democratic
nomination. The same would have
been true, too, of last years Gubernator-
ial race, for H. Otto Wittpenn could
have remained a candidate without
having dangered the success of pro
gressive supporter of President Wilson
The lack of a preferential voting Law
has been the chief weakness of the
States direct primaries. But the pas
sage of the Hennessy bill will close the
loophole through which there has beer
constant danger that minority and un
representative candidate, out of touch
with the principles held by the rank an6
file of his party, might squeeze himself
into Office.
The proposed new law is not ideal, bu
it is long step in advance. Later il
may be amended to meet fully the con
Editions desired to be attained. In tina
levent, it may ultimately bring abou
the abolition of the primaries by con
election-Newark Nea0s.

when one dog attacked its mate, last
week, Mrs. Jennings tried to separate

ten. The peculiar actions of the dog re-
suited in its being shot and its brain was
submitted to experts of the State Board
of Health for examination.
Peaceable adjustment of the affairs of

ance, which provides for the automatic
elevation of the ranking assistant chief
engineer to the leadership of the depart
ment for term of one year, each COM
pany in turn gets the honor. Hamlet

If some Of the unknowing, perhaps
nnfeeling, statesmen in Washington
would tour New Jersey, they would see
thousands of men and women who have
been idle because of their onslaughts on
great employing interests. Within a
week 81, 1000 idle men fell to shoveling
snow for pittance in the larger cities of
this state. Two years ago it was diff.
cult to scare up a coroner's jury; every
man was at work. No disclaimer from
the White House can alter the bitter
fact that regiments of capable and hardy
Jerseymen are now idle through no
fault Of their own.-Philo. Public Led

What the Economy and Efficiency
Commission offers to the Government
Of New Jersey is not the present saving
Of $50, 600 only; its new recommends.
tons mean the saving of $3.50, 900 every
year-to make the millions in economy
as the years come and go. And the
commission has just settled down to
business. There is within its scope the
looping off Of from 100000 to $500, OOC
more, to be an annual saving. 1t is in
conceivable that the Legislature, assur.
ed now by Governor Fielder that econ.
omy must set in with rush, will
dare disregard the admittedly fair and
forceful suggestions of this commission.
Opposition to them was long since dis
counted in the knowledge that every
little interest would be pooled to swerve
the legislative mind. The game of
politics will be played to cope with the
insistment Of the public for coming
heroically to the rescue, at the instant
for the State Treasury, and constantly
for the uplift Of the government.
The amalgamations, reorganizations
and consultations recommended to the
Legislature are such as all large business
houses find absolutely necessary in
modern schemes of departmentalizing
their wares, and state and municipal
governments Of progress long since
adopted. The New JERSEY government
must swing with the swerve OF get-there-
ness, or wallow in the mire of sloth

There is some excuse for taxing col
lateral inheritance, because such money
is to the recipients in the nature of treas
ure trove, but there is no excuse for tax
ing direct inheritance except the fact
that the state wants the money. A di-
rect tax on the heirs of every property
owner who dies is a percentage taken by
force from widows and children. 1t is a
levy on the savings of man who has
worked lifetime to lay aside something
for his dependents.
The fact that New York taxes death
has caused great many New Workers
to keep safe deposits and bank balances
in this state, and this has strengthened
New Jersey banks. If bank balances
here are now to be tied up on the death
of their owners, as they are in New
York, the surplus balances will probably
be moved to some other state where
there is no death tax.
A direct inheritance tax would fall on
every family that owned little home
or had any savings in securities, and it
would be an exceedingly obnoxious tax.
1t would come at time when every
financial demand would be in most
eases hardship and would reduce the
value of what was left after settling the
debts of an estate-Jersey journal,

1t remains for some statesman to work
out state system of employment
bureaus, whereby the real conditions of
labor may be known, and through which
q more general distribution of labor may
be had. Present conditions of idleness
throughout the country show the need
Of such an undertaking.
1t is shown that system of employ
ment agencies has been maintained in
many European countries with success.
Each city has one or more public
bureaus, and these act in cooperation
with branch agencies throughout the
country. Those looking for jobs are
listed and examined to find out what
they are able to do best. The employer
Of labor who applies to such agencies is
confident that he may be able to find
the kind of help that is fitted to the
work he has to offer.
While there may not be jobs enough
for all, there are many jobs, no doubt,
that are not filed. Out of the ranks of
the idle many could be found for almost
any task.-Elaza6eth Journal.
