on the table. This motion was de-
feated and the former action of the
Beard was reconsidered.
Walter H. Bacon, President of the
Commercial League, was in Trenton,
and Mr.. Seabrook called him Into the
conference.
The Board decided to hear repre-
sentatives of Gloucester County. Mr..
Bacon mildly protested, respectfully
submitting that the matter had been
definitely settled at the meeting of
January 7th, and said that if there
was to be a re-hearing he thought
that the Commercial League commit
tee should be given an opportunity to
be present.
The hearing continued, however,
and some six or eight Gloucester
county men were heard, and two or
three gentlemen of Salem county,
headed by Samuel P. Foster, of Elmer,
spoke for Monroeville as the proper
location.
During The discussion, some North
Jersey member of the Board suggest
ed that IL would be we'll if all of the
members could look over the various
sites.
A South Jersey man declared that
they would not know any more after
looking them over.
Mr.. Walter H. Bacon then addressed
the Board. He congratulated the
members upon the interest that was
being shown in the development of
South Jersey. For years, he said, his
good friend, Senator Gaunt had been
alone prominent among the farmers
who were anxious to care for this
section, but now all of the farmers
were interested. Mr.. Bacon said it
was evident that all thoe present be-
fore the Board were representing their
own localities in an effort to- secure
the enterprise for their community,
but the duty of the Board was to
make the best selection for the inter-
ests of the farmers. He felt that the
Board would have difficulty in deter
mining upon the proper farms from
what might be said and he thought
that the Board could very we'll adopt
the suggestion already made of per-
sonally looking over the sites. Speak
ing for 800 members of the Bridgeton
Commercial League, he extended in
vitatfon to the Board to visit the Fin
ley farms and note for itself the ad-
mirable advantages.
Senator Gaunt then made siren
uous speech. He opposed any visit to
localities. He urged against further
delay and demanded that action be
taken at once, and all of the Glouces-

NATIONAL PRIMARIES

The New Jersey primaries for the
election of delegates to the national
convention are scheduled to take
place on May %. The Republican and
Progressive conventions come only
two weeks later, on June T. 1t is be-
lleved that this ineervol is too short,
and therefore a bill is to be intro
duced in the legislature amending the
Geran act and advancing the primar-
les about month ahead, or to April
%. The bill, it is understood, has
been drafted, and will probably be
presented when the legislature meets
this evening.

POLITICS IN
STATE FARM
Senator Gaunt Attempts
to Control Committee.
WARM DEBATE.
Some Influence Being Brought to
Change the Action of Expert
mental Farm Managers.

.. Following a year of active investi-
CATION and orderly procedure, the
Board of Managers of the State Ex-
perimental Station on January 7th
agreed by majority vote to locate
the proposed demonstration and ex-
perimental farms for South Jersey in
Cumberland County and officially se-
lected three farms especially fitted for
work at Finley Station.
On Monday Charles Seabrook, one
of the Board of Managers, was very
greatly surprised to receive a COM
munication from Chairman Nelson, of
the Board, stating that Gloucester
County was dissatisfied with the ac-
tion of the Board and wanted a re-
hearing and that the matter would be
re opened.
Mr.. Seabrook went to Trenton yes
terday. where the Board of Managers
held a meeting in the Senate Commit
tee room. 1t was at once developed
that the effort to prevent Cumberland
County from obtaining the farms was
due to the active efforts of Senator
George Gaunt, of Gloucester, who is
at The head of the State Grange, and
also a member of The Senate Appro-
priation Committee. 1t further devel-
oped that at least year ago Senator
Gaunt had arranged for the purchase
of farm near South Glassboro and
when the Board selected Cumberland
County he was greatly surprised and
at once began to use his political In
'fuence to change the action of the
Managers.
Senator Gaunt mustered about 40
Gloucester people to Trenton yester-
Gay and an effort was made to stam-
pede the managers.
When q motion was made in the
Board Of Managers to reconsider the
matter, Mr.. Seabrook moved to lay 1t

SALE OF Big PLANT

The chattel mortgage sale of the Geo.
w. Preston Company's plant, adver-
tised to take place on Saturday at the
Commercial League Building, is for
the purpose of making complete re-
organization of the concern. George
w. Preslon, who has been in charge of
the plant has left Bridgeton, severing
his connection with the concern, and
the foreclosure of the chattel mortgage
will give opportunity to make a com
plete change in the management and
provide for the industry capable and
efficient management.

COUNTY TAX RATE CUT
ONE CENT BELOW 1916

Wayne county's tax rate for 1911
will be 500 cents on each $1O0. This
is one cent less than the levy made a
year ago for 1916. County Council
decided upon this rate today.
The levy for the general fund was
increased from 34.9 cents, the levy for
1916, to 37.9 cents. A one cent levy
was left for the South Side Bridge
sinking fund and the free turnpike
levy was boosted from this years nine
cent levy to twelve cents. The reason
that the total tax rate is not made
high by the two increases In the
special levies is because the seven
cent levy formerly needed to meet the
court house bonds is no longer re-
quired since all bonds have been paid.
Raise General Rate.
The general rate was raised three
cents for next year so the general
fund might be brought up to normal.
For several years it has been low.
1t was necessary to increase the free
turnpike levy to meet the expense of
the additional upkeep of several roads

SOUTH AMERICA
WILL RETALIATE
FOR TRADE War

WASHINGTON, Sept 7.-Latin-Am
erican diplomats in Washington today
were agreed that the republics OF
South America and Central America
will follow the program of the United
States in retaliatory legislation to
combat the commercial war to be
waged by European nations at the
close of the war.
The Chilean and Argentine govern.
ments according to advices reaching
the ENJOYS of those nations today are
framing legislative programs contem.
plating a raise in import duties OF
certain products. Other nations
through the south 1t was said will act
in concert to prohibit foreign domina;
tions.
Chile, the greatest nitrate producer
in the world, will take her place, her
diplomats said, by increasing by 25
percent the normal duties on articles
from such countries as are believed
to be commercially hostile and by
placing an export duty on nitrate.
The Chilean legation today admitted
that the plans now under way have
been evolved from confidential ad.
vices from abroad to the effect that
practically all of the European bellig-
erents plan to swamp South Ameri-
can republics with an avalanche OF
European products most of them in
competition with their own industries.

City officials and directors OF the
Richmond Chautauqua at conference
last night in regard to the construc-
ton of an auditorium on the chautau-
qua grounds in Glen Miller park. to be
used by the chautauqua and for all
public assemblies, it was practically
decided that from now on the city's
special chautauqua fund will be held
intact until it is Of sufficient amount
to meet the expense of building the
proposed auditorium.
The source of revenue for the spe-
cial chautauqua fund is from the chau-
.tauqua. halt ~the-.net profits each year
being paid into this fund. In the past
the fund has been drawn upon from
time to time to meet the expense Of
various park betterments.
Half of the chautauqua profits are
paid over to thu Y M. C. A., which ar
rangement will probably be continued.
There is now about $500 in the city's
chautauqua fund. No payment from
the proceeds of this years chautauqua

which have been turned over to the
county by the various townships.
Another reason for the Increased
levy is the decrease in local assess
ments.
In presenting the data necessary fol-
making the tax levy Auditor Bowman
made the following report.
Total local assessments this year
$34,298,010, less mortgage exemptions
amounting to $1.180,870 leaves the net
local assessments at $33,117,14O. AS.
sessments of railroads, ETC., $4,077,255.
This makes the total net assessments
amount to s37,194,95. Subtract ten
percent from this for taxes which can
not be collected making $3,719,439, and
the amount on which the levy can be
based is s33,474.956. Counting this,
one cent levy on each 500 would bring
in $3.50 The total amount of ap-
propriations asked for the general
fund amount to s152,91465. II there
were no money which would revert
back from these appropriations it
would be necessary to make forty
five cent general lew
