Franklinville Growers Hear State Col

FRANKLINvILLE ~ j.. Feb. 15.--Pros-
poets OF big demands for tomatoes at the
cannerles throughout south Jersey next
season made tomato growing one OF the
CHEZ topics OF interest at an ali-day instl-
tute held in the Franklinville Meth
cdst Episcopal Church by farmers from the
lower end Of Gloucester County. The ses-
slons of the institute. which were addressed
by cSperts from the state Agricultural Col
ege at New Brunswick, were largely at
tended, the milder weather serving to help
swell the crowds.
II was POINTED out that there are big pos
sibilites In tomatoes for next season for
farmers living in this end OF the, state. The
original outlay i'm planting and growing the
crop iof late tomatoes is small in comparison
with white potatoes and some other crops.
but everything now points TO the fact that
the price for tomatoes will be high.
All price records for tomatoes were
smashed last season, when at one time buy
ers for canneries were paying as high as
$40 ton for them. The average price In
the past has been SO ton. Canneries this
year. are offering to make contracts with
the farmers for tomatoes at s12 ton, which
averages about twenty cents a basket. Sew

Take our own country. Consider It's ma

slider ours as a republic? II an aliens
coming had occurred at one period, and
no read our Constitution and accepted that
we believed all men equal, he would have
been justified In wondering II we excused
the physical and political servitude OF many
because OF their color, Later, he must
have lauded tho revolution Of things which
resulted in making tho black men politically
equal with the white.
II must also seem strange to the studi-
GUS observer visiting our ao-called republic
today TO read the high-sounding phrases of
our Constitution, which speak Of justice
and equality for all, and then visit the
West and find the women enjoying all the
political privileges granted TO men, and
participating by reason thereof in the maxi
ing Of the laws thst govern them in their
daily lives, and then visit tho East and
find women equally intelligent and equally
patriotic with no direct voice in the making
OF similar laws.
II must seem strange Indeed to the studi-
Gus observer that our President sits as
chief executive OF tho nation as the result
of an election I'm which in one section all
the citizens have had vote but In another
section only the males were held qualified
to speak concerning their presidential and
governmental preferences.
Even the President himself must wonder
what sort OF republic It is over which he
presides as chief executive.
Soon the visitor learns that in one section
Of the country men hold the women thereof
as the constitution holds the people of the
land--as persons entitled to equality--equal
rights and equal voice in their Government
Knowing that the men of another section
have not granted the same privileges and
responsibility, the student must wonder IL
the women Of the East and West are differ
ent, or whether the men OF the two sections
differ In their Interpretation of the Consti-
tuition and what equality" means, or
whether they hold their own women more
cheaply than the men of another section
hold theirs.

(; ipal Finance

a word Of warning to watch the budget
act aimed to place Philadelphia on a busi-
ness basis was issued today by the Bureau
of Municipal Research. The bill will be
introduced during the present session OF
the Legislature.
This measure, which was conceived by
the Committee on the Revision OF the Phil
adelphia Charter, would eliminate the pres
ent antiquated methods of conducting the
oity's affairs, save hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars In the cost OF administration and
expedite the business OF the city generally.
In its bulletin cautloning the taxpayers
10 be on the alert. the research bureau has
summed up concisely just what the budget
act will bring about and points out specih-
oAlly how II would enable the citizens TO
keep watch on tho city officials and thus
safeguard their interests.
Under the act. tho Mayor is Obliged to
take an account of stock, Just as prac-
tical business man would do, during the
frst fifteen days Of october, and inform
Councils just what the clty's needs will be

City housekeeping Is simpliAed by the
act. which centralizes all the financial trans
actions Of the municipality and the county
1t is obligatory for Councils under the
act to consider the budget in open public
meetings as soon as practicable after its
Presentation by the Mayor
Another important feature of the act Is
tts simple phraseology. 1t is expressed in
plain English and. as the bureau announces.
II is 'foolproof," for the reason that 1t Is
definite and gets to the point.
II Is the consensus of opinion that the
bill Is the first and most important step
toward the adoption of financial and ac-
counting program for the city that is as
thoroughly inclusive and as commendable as
that which any government or corporation
or Individual enjoys.
Juggling about of funds is prevented by
the act, and It distinctly states that money

used for another.
