New York State in order that the two
may cooperate. The New Jersey Com
mission will also work with tie Commits
siOns of other states which are probing
the increased cost of living. Governor
Edge submitted to the Commission his
suggestion for the state to go into the

As the guest of honor last Saturday
evening at the dinner of the Atlantic City
Chamber of Commerce, Governor Edge
delivered a speech in which he said that
while the oppression of business is no
longer popular, a government that wholly
~disregards business is scarcely better.
Governor Edge also stated that he did
not regard the excise question as a live
issue today He advocated peter roads
and higher motor vehicle fees to help
pay for them.

Financial Publicity

For the past thirty-hve years the Sa-
lem County Board of Freeholders have
published an itemized report of every
item OF receipts and expenditures in all
the newspapers in the County. This has
been done regardless of which party WAS
in the majority or who were the pub
fishers of the papers. As all pay taxes
all are entitled to know what the public
money is spent for and who receives 1t
has been the opinion OF the Board OF
Freeholders.
The Township Committee OF Upper
Penns Neck for many years had the
statement of receipts and expenditures
published in full, including the expendi-
lures for schools. Occasionally a few
items were classed as John M. Bevis and
Others where the Committeeman had
Jumped a few other bills III one.
In 1894, when the election Tor the or
ganization of the Borough WAS held, one
of the strong arguments i'll favor of the
Borough was not only economy, but
more publicity in expenditures. After
the Borough was organized, for many
years every item was published, includ-
ing school expenditures.
Municipal elections were held on the
second Tuesday in March. The law re-
quired the statement of expenditures to
be published ten days sooner. 1t was
closely read and at each party caucus the
appropriations were voted to be put on
the party ticket. One of the spirited
issues was to get votes on the men who
could run the government most econ
omical.
Until the fiscal school year was made
to end June 30th some years ago, all the
school report was published. A short
statement was published for a few years
and of late mont has been published to
let the taxpayers know the items OF
expense.
About ten years ago the election of
municipal officers was abolished to make
it more economical for the politicians
who managed the elections, but the law
requiring the publication of public ex-
p%enditures was not repealed. The re-
vision OF the Borough laws, 1897, chap
ter l61, section 80, says:
"The council shall publish an itemized
statement OF the receipts and expendi-
lures for borough purposes within the
past year, and q proposal Of the sums OF
money which they deem necessary to
raise by taxation for the ensuing year
and the principal objects for which it
shall be expended"
In Penns Grove in 1916 the receipts
were $50, 1858. 70, an amount equal to the
entire county expenses some years ago.
In another column is a statement as
ordered by the Council. 1t may interest
the taxpayers to learn where tie money
went.

kay, of Bergen County. G.. Rowland
Munroe, counsel for the New Jersey
Anti-saloon League, the hackers of the
Gaunt bill, declares that the substitute is
a very satisfactory consolidation of the
two measures and should be passed. The
substitute provides the general features
of the Gaunt bill, giving an election upon
the saloon question by filing a petition,
but directs that the petition be filed with
the governing body of the municipality
instead of the county judge as in the
Gaunt bill, but giving the right of ap-
peal in case of need therefore.
The substitute also provides for the
vote upon the question at the general cleo
ton instead of at a special election as in
the Gaunt bill, with the proviso that if
the petition be signed by more than 80
per cent of the voters, the Governing
Body shall then determine whether the
matter shall be submitted at a special
or general election. This will make it
possible to have the special election where
the sentiment is strong enough for it.

In it's report just submitted to the
Legislature, the State Commission to in
vestigate the question of military train
ing in the high schools advises against
such training. In its place it recommends
compulsory physical training for all pu-
pills of all the schools of the State. The
Commission submitted two bills to carry
out its recommendation and they were
introduced this week. The Commission
says that military training Of high school
pupils cannot be made effective unless
supplemented by a subsequent course of
adult training 1t says there is no as
surance that pupils of high schools sub
jected to military training will serve as
soldiers that New Jersey is net justified
in acting alone in this matter, and That
II such training were to be undertaken,
all boys of the required age should be
included, and not merely high school
boys.
The State military officers have been
busy this week with preparations for
mobilizing the National Guard if the
break with Germany leads to the more
serious step of a declaration. of war.
Governor Edge and Adjutant General
Barber have been in frequent confer
ences, and on Monday morning Gen. Bar
Der summoned all the commanding off
GERS of the various units of the Guard to
a conference, at the State House This
was for the purpose of extra prepared
ness that there might be no bitches in
the plans already made. Governor Edge.
as COMMANDMENT Chief, issued a state
ment to the effect that if mobilization be-
came necessary, the Jersey troops would
be at their proper stations within a few
hours. He telegraphed President Wilson
offering the State Guard and conveying
to him the information as to the COM
pleteness of the plans. As precautionary
steps, guards were placed at all armor-
les and arsenals.

But one thing has not changed in all these

Our ledgers show hundreds of names of

year in and year out for twenty thirty and even
forty years. There are very few homes in Viii

There must be some strong reasons for such

1t is because we have goods of known
quality, sold at a reasonable proft-tuhulness

E. J. Potter and family are packed
up to leave Blackfoot, and will make
their home at Weiser, Mr.. Potter
having accepted a position there with
the Weiser American.
Mr.. Potter has lived in Blackfoot
about 10 years, and has been fore
man of The Republican office the past
four years. He began with The Re-
publican when its business was at a
low ebb, and three persons did all
the work and had time to spare. He
has witnessed, and aided in the
building of the business while it in
creased in volume over 400 per cent.
1t has always been the policy Of
The Republican office to employ peo-
pie who would remain with the firm
a good while, and employees have
always been encouraged to "buy a
lot and build bungalow" Several
of its men have acquired property
on the installment plan, and Mr.. Pot
ter was one of them. He sold his
home at very satisfactory price to
his neighbor ]. e. Jones when he
was ready to move to Weiser.
Mr.. Potter's place has been filled
by H. P. Pinkney, who has been a
member of the force at intervals and
is already familiar with the work.

crat. 1t was the duty of the pub
Usher to furnish q proof that the
publication was made, and to attach
to the affidavit, clipping taken from
the newspaper, showing just what
was said in the notice.
II this was done the document
was lost, and in 1917 it became
necessary for Ovens heirs to exhibit
that particular affidavit or they
would suffer loss in business mat
tiers. The publisher had closed up
his affairs and left the country, and
the attorney handling the Owen case
reasoned that If the notice had been
published in The Idaho Republican
it would be easy to get duplicate
proof because Of their system of
keeping duplicate and triplicate files
for just such emergencies. But the
notice in question was published be-
fore The Idaho Republican was in
existence, and there seemed no
chance that it could render any aid
in the matter, yet the attorney wrote
to the editor of The Republican and
told the names, and dates Of publ
cation, ad asked for suggestions as
to how to get the needed proof.
When the editor of The Republi-
can got the letter in hand he walked
down into the basement where there
is storage vault, and in ten min
utes he had five copies of the old
newspaper containing the identical
notice concerning the estate of
Joseph H. Owen deceased. In an
other ten minutes a clipping had
been made and attached to the regu-
lar form for making such proofs,
the acknowledgment was made be-
fore notary and the document
mailed to the attorney for the heirs.
When you have a legal notice to
publish, see that it is published by
a newspaper that takes all the steps
necessary to protect you and your
heirs, and then in addition to that,
does it ali in duplicate and places
the proof in a f1re-proof vault so you
or your heirs can send for it in rs
