Educating Lakewood


In Lakewood, New Jersey, Chas.
prietor, has put on one of his lots a
bill board. On the bill board he pro-
claims the following facts:
- STOP! READl! TFInNK!!!
. As It isl! "a
II / employ labor and improve this
lot the tax assessor will punish me
with high tax
If I leave the. lot as it is / do not
employ labor, and the assessor en-
courages me by "a lower tax.
AS IT Should Bell!
Tax all land at ;ts true value.
Do not tax any improvements.
The Result Would Be.
Land would be sold at a much lower
price.
The growth of Lakewood assured.
More and better houses built
Would reduce rents and the high
cost of living.
More labor employed.
Higher wages paid.
A much lower tax.
The only just tax
Mr.. Hecht thus let's his fellow citi-
zens know that they are encouraging
him to block industry and progress in
the community. While he is holding
his lot in the condition that existing
laws make it to his interest to hold
it, unemployed men are. going about
Lakewood looking for work. These
men would be glad to be allowed to
improve Mr.. .Hecht's lot. But. as he
himself states: 'If employ labor and
improve this lot. the tax assessor will
punish me with high tax. If leave
the lot as it is do not employ labor,
and the assessor encourages me by a
lower tax"
If any Of Lakewoods unemployed
have voted to continue such a system,
then they have only themselves to
blame for their plight
If any of Lakewood's underpaid men
have voted to uphold the system, they
have voted to increase competition for
their jobs and to keep down their own
wages.
If any of Lakewood's contributors to
charity have voted for this system,
then they have created the very pow
erty and distress, which their charit-
able contribution is designed to re-.
lieve.
Mr.. Hecht's sign board ought to set
Lakewood to thinking There is need
Of such sign boards like he has put up
on every vacant lot in every city.

rather than stake everything on one
throw.
We doubt if many men would have
acted differently.
Pelkey was finished with a crash
ing right cross, blow that Smith had
frequently tried to land throughout
the fight. His cautiousness prevent
ed a connection until the 18th round.
When he did reach through, however,
Pelkey was stretched on the canvas.
When he arose at the count of eight j
left sent him back, and Pelkey was
through as a championship aspirant.
How decisiVeiy PeIkey was licked
is best evidenced by the attitude Of
Tommy Burns, his manager, after
the fight. Burns did not ask for
return go for his man, but himself
demanded chance at the new cham
pion, declaring he could beat him
with two months training. This was
the result of peevishness on Burns
part, as his own admission is the only
word necessary to make unanimous
the opinion that he is through, and
has been for some time.
Gunboat Smith is the recognized
heavyweight champion of America. |
Now let him try for the premiership
of the world, or defend his crown
against the home talent.
Ad WoIgast found a soft one in
Jack Redmond, their bout being
stopped in the fifth round at Milwau-
kee. Wolgast tore in like the cham
pion of old, and Redmond was in dis
tress throughout the fight. He was
hanging helpless on the ropes when |
the referee stepped in.
Matty Mccue reVenged himself on
Tommy Bresnahan at Racine yester- |
day, winning a shade over the vet
eran in ten rounds. Much more can
be seen in the battle than mere vic
tory over Bresnahan. McCue is
learning his lessons well, and de-
veloping into a finished fighter He

erness. His inexperience at the pol
ished fashion made hiIn>easy picking
for Tommy. But he has advanced
rapidly He has learned to punch
clean and straight, instead of relying
on wild swings, and in several of the
rounds put some singing smashes to
Bresnahan's jaw.
Eddie McGoorty won his first Aus
tralian fight, putting Dave Smith
away in a minute and a half at Sgd
ney. Smith was floored three times
during the short time the mill lasted.
They fought at catchweights, which
gave McGoorty a slight advantage.
Freddie Welsh, English lightweight,
regained much of his prestige yes
terday>by the fight he put up against
Johnny Dundee in New Orleans. The
Briton did not show of punch, but
was fast as a streak and completely
baff1ed the New York Italian in every
round. Dundee found it impossible
to land an effective blow. He laid
himself wide open in an effort to get
Welsh to swing, but the Britisher re-
fused to fall into the trap, and jabbed
his way through to victory.
