THE THANKSGIVING DINNER

Count on from SO to 90 per cent.
moe tn S year than you paid last
year for the materials for your
Thanksgiving dinner, but you will.
still have cause for thanks. The ta-
bic of comparative prices prepared
by the Association for Improving the
Condition of the Poor, which is a New
York organization, will apply approx
imately to food prices throughout
this section of the country Milk is
set down as being II per cent. higher
than in November of last year, pota-
toes are Fla per cent. higher, eggs 5S
Fer cent. higher and butter 80 per
cent. higher.
Some things cost no more, in which
class are Put coffee, tea and cocoa,
as well as tomatoes and bacon, but
among the common articles of food
that cost more are: Goldfish, so per
cent; cheese. Is per cent; bread, 20
per cent; oatmeal. % per cent; );
macaroni, SO per cent; sugar, 81 per
cent; beans, 67 per. cent; and cab
bage, 36 per cent. Nearly all the
vegetables are higher than they were
year ago, and so are fruits and
meats. This is how. the Democratic
promise of four years ago, to reduce
the cost of living has been fulfilled,
but things might be worse. If the
Democratic Administration has been
unable to reduce the cost of living, it
has also been unable to prevent the
country from being prosperous

EGAN ROAD BIII,

the more one ponders over the ef-
feet the "Egan Good Roads $1,000 900
bond issue, voted on at the recent
election, will have on the South Jer-
sey counties, the more one favors
this section seeding from Hudson
and Essex counties.
The result in this county will prob
ably be to stop all work on the four
Or five state-aid roads already ord
cred, and in some instances surveyor.
The county is not in the position to
build without a-d unlimited miles of
new roads which will come up to
State requirements and at the same
time keep in repair the many miles
already built. The effect of the ST.
100000 bond issue will be that the
counties will have to maintain their
roads W thout expecting or receiving
the big automobile license fund as
heretofore. The solution is to allow
the roads to go, or to increase assess
ments or taxes and keep them in re-
pair. Of course the automobilistS
who pay their fees and expect good
roads can go up Jersey and parade
back and forth along the $1,000, 900
boulevard if they want to, but we ad-
wise them not to go in suspicious
numbers. If they do North Jersey
will have a spec al election and vote
to Lesp lis out of their hallowed ter
ritory.-Salem Sunbeam.

A BIG JOB

Whatever may be the final recon-
mendations of the commission ap-
pointed, last year to study the ques-
tion of home rule for municipalities
no one who has had occasion to look
into the vast mass of legislation regu-
lating the internal affairs of munich
palities will question the conclusion
reached by the commission that the
first thing in order is the repeal of
some 400 acres now on the statute
books. ~
There are laws applying to coun-
ties OF the first, second and third
classes: of cities of the first, second
third and fourth classes; to towns,
townships, boroughs and villages; to
towns governed by commission and
to cities that have adopted commits
sion form of government. Some of
these acts are so indefinite that only
by decision of the highest court can
their scope be determined Others
cannot be made to fit all of the COM
munities to which they are designed
to apply without working hardship
and injustice, while still others are
inconsistent and contradictory in
their terms. The result is uncertain
ty, confusion and interminable litiga-
tion.-Newark News.

THE ABUSE OF COLD STORAGE

There are so many factors, some of
them extremely uncertain and OBJ
scure, which enter into the question
of the high cost of living that it would
be rash to select any one of them as
the primary cause or to expect for
immediate relief from the discovery
and correction of any one of the
abuses which are admitted to exist in
our present system of production.
Distribution anu sale. Yet there is
one agency to which increasing atten-
ton is being given-cold storage A
correspondent, ''W. H. d., whose let
ter was printed in these columns yes
terday, and who writes from inner
knowledge of the workings of the
business, is confident that the whole
trouble of h gh prices may be traced
to ''the curse of cold storage; not to
use, but to its abuse And the Chica-
go Health Commissioner, who has be-
gun the raiding of the warehouses in
that city, appears to share the same
conviction.
1t should be evident to even the
most casual student of the food situa-
ton that public regulation of cold
storage has thus far fallen short of
the necessities of the case, espec ally
when such a lack of uniformity as
that existing between the laws of this
State and of New Jersey permits the
entire notification Of regulations de-
signed to protect the public aaginst
the marketing of goods held in stor-
age beyond the limit fixed by the
Pennsylvania law. 1t begins to be
Very doubtful whether the abuses of
ceid storage have not long since ov-
erbalanced the benefits. Under exist
ing conditions the cold storage ware
houses, instead of conserving the sur
plus food supplies, produced at per-
iods of abundance, and permitting
their gradual distribution throughout
the year at an advance in prices suf-
ficient to pay the cost Of storage and
pair prolt to the dealers, have be-
come the instruments for unscrupu-
lous speculation from which the COM
mGnty has THIS far found no effective
means of protecting itself. Even the
cost of storage has not sufficed to
keep in check the more gross abuses.
What is imperatively needed, and
must come. is greater publicity con-
corning the capacity and contents of
the storage warehouses, and it may
even be some system of regulation of
prices will have to be established. For
when the whole truth shall be known
concerning the means by which cold
storage is tmrloyed to bring about
artificial scarcity the peopleswill no
longer subrnit to being victimized.
The issue is cne which will have to

they begin tc take eognizance of the
situation and of their duty in the
premises the better it will be for them

SOLDIERS FAMILIES
 ARE TO BE PROPERLY
 CARED FOR BY WEALTHY

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Meetings of captains of industry and men of means are being called in various cities to arrange for the proper care of the families of men who are to go to the front. Some of the greater manufacturing and commercial insti- tutions, the war department is in- formed. have agreed to continue the regular pay of all employees who go to the front, thus providing for the support of dependent ones. But the smaller business concerns are not able to do this and it is to take care of the deficiency that the meetings are called.
 The war department is elated over this indication of patriotic spirit among the men who cannot go to the front but who have the means tC give ease of mind to those who will go, lt is stated that several individ' .uals have been heard from with of fers of really remarkable sums which they want to place in the hands Of the department In such
