New Jersey is about to make an
experiment with its convicts by giving
them an intensive military and man
ual training to prepare those physi-
cally fit for the army. The plan is to
place these men in separate army
unit and send them across. This will
eliminate the objections Of military
officers to the enrolment Of felons
with other troops and at the same
time put an end to t.the injustice Of
the situation which calls for the sacri-
flee of our best and noblest men while
carefully shielding our offending
classes" There is no apparent reason
why this New jersey scheme should
not work out successfully and, if 50,
every other state in the union would
doubtless follow suit.

George e. Akerson discusses ton

with the plank in the Nonpartisan
league platform. Mr.. Akerson is
right when he says it is an intricate
question. Several Of the tonnage tax
measures that have been before the
Legislature were palpably unfair and
grossly inequitable, and deserved to
be defeated. In some respects the
proposed supertax on iron ore, which
passed the house, at the last session,
was the fairest Of all; but it was by
no means perfect tax measure.
