COMPETITION OF CITIES.

The necessity, in these days of
keen municipal rivalry, of having a
civic organization sucl>as a Board
Of Trade to lNaI~S1t6r the advance
ment aSehe city's interests CONNER
Taliy and industrially, is forcibly
brought out by the attempt to
establish dyestuff industries in this
country. DR.. Thomas Norton, gov
ernment chemist at the custom
house in New York, has been be-
sieged by representatives Of Boards
of Trade throughout the country in
their effort to have factories for the
manufacture of dyestuffs located in
their respective communities.
On Thursday a representative of
the Board of Trade of Washington,
Pa, called upon DR.. Norton and laid
before him the advantages of that
place as a center for the manufac
ture of dyestuffs. The presence of
raw material, the nearness to pro
ducers of important chemicals and
the convenience for distribution OF
finished produce to textile mills in
the South, Pennsylvania, New York
and New England, are regarded by
persons in Washington, Pa, as de-
sirable factors to bring before the
companies now studying the choice
of location for new dyestuff indus
tries. Commercial organizations of
Norfolk, Va; Richmond, Va, and
various towns of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois have also laid their respec-
tive claims for the location of dye
stuff factories before Dr. Norton.
1t is plain that in the face of such
competition a city that is not con-
tinually urging its advantages be-
fore the public and carrying on an
active propaganda for additional in
dustries, will not get very far. Every
town or city that hopes to make any
progress at all must maintain an
active Board of Trade, thoroughly
alive in setting before the industrial
world the advantages Of the place it
represents.

passenger traffic within their limits.
If those cities can do this and still
participate in the benefits of the
state franchise tax, why cannot
Perth Amboy? Four per cent. of the
gross receipts of the passenger fares
collected within this city every year
would make a tidy sum and help
greatly in upbuilding a park system
in Perth Amboy.
At the present time there is a
fight on in the city of Trenton over
the attempt of the trolley company
to abolish the sale of six tickets for
quarter. AS one of its arguments
the trolley company claims that the
strip ticket is in violation of the
federal constitution that prohibits
passing of laws impairing the obli-
CATION of contracts. This same argu-
ment might be made to apply to the
local situation as far as collecting
this percentage of gross receipts by
the trolley company The ordinance
passed was in the nature of a con-
tract between the trolley company
and the city, whereby the city gave
the use Of its streets to the trolley
company and in return therefore,
among other things, was to receive
certain percentage of the gross re
ceipts.
If the federal constitution that
prohibits the passing of laws COM
pelling the obligation of contracts
applies in Trenton in behalf of the
trolley company, it ought to apply
to Perth Amboy in behalf of the
Guy, Al any IdLe, Iue LdCI IhdI OI44C4

their corporate limits even though
the state franchise tax is in opera

Amboy is negligent in not deriving
the full advantage of the ordinance
granting the franchise to the trolley
company to operate here. 1t is up
to the aldermen to see that the city
is not deprived of this income any
longer if it can by any means be
collected.

CITY,s LOST INCOME.

The fight between the trolley
interests and the jitney men in
Jersey City has brought out the fact
that the Public Service Railway
Company pays to Jersey City ; per
rent. on its gross receipts. A short
time ago the question was raised in
Trenton whether a fare paid outside
the city limits and emitting the
passenger to ride into the heart Of
the city should be counted as fare
paid for passenger traffic within the
city. The question was of much
Importance to Trenton because, it
was pointed out, the franchise under
which the trolley company was oper-
ating in Trenton requires the pay
ment to the city, annually, of one
per cent. of the gross receipts from
passenger traffic within the city
Both the Jersey City and Trenton
Incidents are of much interest to
Perth Amboy because the ordinance
under which the trolley company is
operating in this city requires that
a percentage Of the gross receipts
from passenger traffic within the
city limits be paid to the city an
nually According to this ordinance
the trolley company should have
paid three per cent. of the gross re
ceipts within the city from May l,
1910, to May 1, 1915. Upon the
latter date, which was the May just
passed, and for the next five years,
the trolley company is required to
pay four per cent. of its gross re-
ceipts within the city limits. Fol
lowing May 1, 1920, the company is
required to pay five per cent. of the
gross receipts until the termination
of the franchise.
When the EVENING NEWS has
called attention to this matter be-
fore, it has been stated that the
ueiGls franchise tax, which was i'm
Jed after the trolley ordinance
this city was passed, superseded
ordinance and the percentage OF
pss receipts claimed under the
giinance could not be collected as
would act as a double tax because
city received its share of the
Eafe franchise tax.
But Jersey City and Trenton also
sceiye their share of the state fran
aise tax, yet, it seems, they are
bllecting from the trolley com
panies operating within their limits

Discusses With Attorney Gen.
( eral Newspaper Charges Of
sI Strike Fomentation~.
RPECTS TO TALK OVER
a1&&TTER WITH Mr.. LANSING
9Es Albert, German Imperial Pnvy
Coundlor. Replies to Accusations
b. Of Neutrality Violations,

PRESIDENT Wilson yesterday afternoon
look up reports that German secret
agents have been unduly active in the
United States at a conference with At
torney General Gregory, the Attorney
General assuring the President that in
vestigation by the Department of JUS
ftce has so far disclosed nothing to lead
to action by department officials. 1t
became known that the department will
Investigate all charges tending to indi-
cate violations of American neutrality.
Tho President, in discussing the ques-
lion with the Attorney General, asked
what steps had already been taken by
the department. The Attorney General
told the President that he had not read
carefully the charges published in the
New York World that German agents
have fomented strikes in munition fac
tories, etc. but that as soon as the dis
closures being made by the World are
completed the facts alleged would be in
vestigated.
Because Of the mention of the names
Of officials of the German embassy in
the published reports, President Wilson
probably will discuss the situation with
Secretary Lansing in the near future
Up to the present. it is said, the charges
have not been called to the attention Of
the neutrality board.
