Tor additional hearings on the meas
ure; also that because of the fnarit in
the bill 1t should be given further
consideration, also that the commit
tee believed II the bill were re nrted
out that it would be defeated. Those
working for the bill declare that these
were weak excuses and did not reveal
the real reasons for squelching the
measure In committee.
Senator Ramsay and other Demo-
cratic senators deserve the credit for
saving the bill passed by the house
and introduced by Mr.. Loblein, pro-
vidlng for q state highway. When it
reached the senate last night the SEN
ators found that the enacting clause
was either Intentionally omitted to
render the bill valueless on being
placed in operation, or it had been
left out by oversight. Senator Ram
say and others hurriedly had it
amended to include the enacting
clause, and it was sent back to the
house for re-passage. 1t passed
again in the house as one of the last
measures on which the body took az
ton. By the provisions of the meas
ure the state will take over the high
way leading from Newark through
Railway, Metuehen and New Bruins
wick to Trenton, and has the power
to extend it to Camden if 1t is found
advisa Bile. This will relieve the diff
ferent counties of thousands of dol
lars which would have been spent in
the future on maintaining this high
way. Assemblyman Loblein worked
unremittingly for this, his pet
measure.

Part of Governors Job to De-

Special to The EVENING NEWS.

a
Trenton, April Senate Presi-
dent Edge before leaving Treaton
thus morning replied to the statement
by Governor Fielder attacking the
Republican majority on it's legisla-
tive record. Senator Edge said
THE governor is a splendid fellow
and OF course it is part of his Job TO
defend his party, but they give him
a pretty hard problem sometimes.
It's very kind of him to at least
give the Republicans credit for pass
ing the economy and efficiency laws
and some other commendable meas
ures, but its particularly interesting
TO hear him remark that all this
should have been accomplished In a
month, when one recalls the one
regular and two special sessions OF
the legislature the governor found
necessary when his party was in
power to enact just one pledge, that
of jury reform, and that was not op-
posed as strenueusly as the acts dis
placing Job holders, either. The
governor couldn't resist mentioning
that the economy commission was OF
Democratic complexion. This appar-
emily did not have much influence on
the past two Democratic legislatures,
who rudely turned down their every
recommendation.
"Yes, the Republicans cut down
appropriations over a million dollars
because we promised a business ad-
ministration, and business men never
exceed their income. We wouldn't
have had deficit If the Democrats
had done likewise The state obj
