DRY" TRIO MAY
DECIDE SPEAKER
Simpson, Agans and Shields
Dry Adherents Among Demo-
Gratis May Vote for Pierson
Rn SpecinI Correspondent.

By Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, Feb. 6.-When the
house of assembly reconvenes for the
fifth week of the present session of
the legislature next Monday night, all
eyes will be turned on three Demo-
ratio members, Assemblymen Harold
NJ. Simpson, of Sussex; David II. Ag-
ans, of Hunterdon, n Thomas
A. Shields, of Warren. This trio has
come into the limelight a. swerving
in their loyalty to the candidacy OF
Assemblyman James j. McAteer, OF
Hudson, for speaker of the house.
Consequently when the first roll call
is taken in the assembly Monday night
interest will center around the votes
of these three men.
Two OF them, Simpson and Agans,
have conferred this week with Cow
ernor Edge on the situation.
From Republican sources there Is
coming a stream of optimism that
when the house meets Monday night
at least one of this trio will desert his
Democratic moorings and cast his vote
with the Republicans for the election
of Pierson for speaker. 1t is said par
ticularly that Agans' constituents in
Hunterdon county are urging him
to break the deadlock.
Just what the attitude of the three
men is cannot be learned until next
week, as lney nave All leit lIehtoH iOi
their homes, but Democrats are charg-
ing that the claim of the Republicans
that these men are tired Of the dead
lock is Republican propaganda and is
not to be taken seriously. The three
mentioned are about the only dry"
adherents on the Democratic side of
the house, and this may play n part
in any plan they have to swing to
Pierson, who is a prohibitionist and
known to favor the ratification of he
federal amendment.

County Bridge Matter Before

Warner Fayors Bill.

to support the project of having the
state of New Jersey take over the

Assemblyman Arthur E. Warner or

lieve that many of my Republican col
leagues will take the same course. In
fact, even before the bill of Senator
Brown was introduced. We fully be-
lieved tina these bridges would be-

to Middlesex county to be forced to

warmed, and this is important.

in which he installed the credit sys-

According to the report 1t took
eight hours to remake the entire
credit system of marking in the insti-

and improved method. This was due
to the fact that many of the boys at
the home are under ten years of age
and there was the necessity to repeat

Washington. : Customs authorities
have encountered the first case of an
airplane imported into the United
States under it's own motive power.
An American bought a Canadian
plane, and it was flown across the
border near Detroit. The question then
arose as to whether it is dutiable, par
ticu1ariy since airplanes are not men"
toned in any tariff acts.
Customs officials finally decided that
&f it remains permanently in the United

cent, and ie j flie~ out Of the country

International air touring may soon be

THE COMMON PEOPLE
BY WALT MASON

The common people round me
troop, the Toms and Dicks and
Harrys; one builds himself a nice
new coop, one dies, another marries.
The bankers clad in gaudy rags, his
bank has marble portals; the hostler
curries down his nags, and both are
common mortalS. The tinSmith
makes motor cars, the black
smith works his bellows, the poet
among the stars, and all are
fellows. We all are equal
at our birth, one kids just like an
other; and when we tumble off the
earth, what mans above another? 1
wall along the churchyard aisles,
and, pensive, muse and ponder; the
GRANTEES reared in costly piles above
hat grave Ger yonder; and there a
poor man sleeps alone, a friendless
wight and daffy, above his head a
simple stone, devoid of epitaphy.
And both are sleeping just the same,
the poor mar and the Croesus: on
earth they played the common game,
and now they're gone to pieces. In
youth we all are gay and vain. in
middle age we're sober: and all of us
nave ache and pain when life has
reached October. The king, who has
God given right to be a nations
master, must leave his downy couch
at night to hunt a porous plaster. It
makes me tired to hear the talk of
strata and of classes; we're just the
plain ! human flock. we're just the
common masses.

II ONLY SOLUTION

We NAV talk about the high cost of living and debate the
subject of economies until we are blue in the face, but there
will be no relief from present conditions until we have in
creased production and then have what is produced properly
distributed. We hear a great deal about imitation of the cur
rency, credits, the balance Of trade and the like, but it all
comes down to the two Transportation and distribution.
1t is not easy for everybody TO understand the various
economic laws, but every one knows that when the hens stop
laying, eggs are high and when eggs are plentiful they are
cheap. When crops are bountiful the markets are glutted and
prices are down; a crop failure means a scarcity and increased
values. When there are lots of houses to rent, rents are low;
a scarcity of houses brings high rents. The more there is of
anything the cheaper it is and the only way to get more is 10
produce it in greater quantities.
Today the world is passing through a great crisis follow
ing a great war. During the four years of war what production
there was had to do with making munitions with which to de-
stroy useful and needful things. After all this destruction it
is impossible at once to get back to producing things on any
where near the same scale as before the war.
When the war was on we all strained every effort to in
crease the production of munitions and food. Now that the
fighting is over. however. we forget the awful destruction that
has taken place as well as the disruption of everything that was
Ased to produce the necessities of life. Instead Of showing the
same energy now in producing in order to live, as we did a
little while ago in producing in order to destroy, we are all in
clned to seek the bed of ease, buy automobiles, work six hours
or eight hours instead of ten or twelve, enjoy life, and then
wonder why the cost of everything is so high.
Not until Europe gets on her feet again and is able to pro-
duce sufficiently of all kinds of materials to supply her needs,
as she formerly did, will there be a let-up in the demand for
extra production on our part if we are to come anywhere near
restoring normal conditions. But instead of producing more
the tendency is to produce less, and the less there is produced
the scarcer the necessities become and the higher the prices
are. There is no escape from it. Work to increase produce
ton along every line is the only answer. ]

Public Opinion
SOLVING THE H. @. OF L.

SOLNlNN II1E III. u. Of IL.
I EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
There are efforts of all kinds being
made to find the cause of, and to re-
duce the high cost of living from our
President and the congress and sem
ate of the United States to the gov
ernors of the states. the mayor of
the cities and so on until it has be-
come the most predominating ques-
ton of the day. 1t has been said
feed America first and then Eu-
rope" To do this something has
been started in the right way, by taxi
ing from the storage houses the ne
cessities of life which had been put
there by the proiteers, with the idea
of holding same for the opening of
the markets of Europe.
And this has been The real cause
of the shortage and the high cost of
living. Reduce the high cost of liv-
ing and you will stop the agitation for
the increase of wages.
Now in the city of New York the
health commissioner has started to
make an investigation of high food
prices and boarding, and has ap-
pointed eight. hundred nurses, doc
tors and inspectors of the health
department to begin a Gus to house
canvass to ascertain the effect of high
prices on the health in the homes
of various classes of residents. They
are to visit homes n inquire wheth-
er the family has been able to supply
the members with sufficient food.
Other inspectors of the health de-
partment are visiting merchants and
manufactures to learn where there is
boarding or profteering. These cases
will be reported to the health COM
missioner and the license of guilty
persons will be revoked wherever
possible.
In our own state of New Jersey in
the laws of 1913 the state health de-
partment has been given authority to
control the storage of food stuff. The
law says: Persons OF corporations en-
gagged in the business of storage
house-man or in the business of re-
frigerating shall submit a quarterly
report to the State Board of Health,
stating in particular the quality of
food in storage or in control of said
any article of food being kept in re-
frigerating or cold storage places
longer than ten months report of
such fact shall be filed with the State
Board of Health and such stored food
after the expiration of said period of
ten months, shall not be delivered
without first securing a certificate
from the Board of Health authoriZ-
ing such delivery. Now it seems to
the writer a good opportunity for the
State Board of Health to exercise the
authority invested in them along these
lines, and it should be a good source
for information. The action of the
Health Department of New York Is
well worthy of being followed by
boards of health throughout all parts
of this country. Every effort should
be made to alter present conditions
and prevent the growing feeling of
dissatisfaction.
Respectfully yours,
G. S. GRANT,
% Washington Street.
