dent of the New Bruins wick hepuDIl-
can Club for three years.

man-twenty-six years old-and thus
is Just qualified as to age, it being
necessary for a candidate for con-
gress to be twerIg-dye years old. The
position of county solicitor is the first

Richardson and he a proven him
self a hard and efficient worker.
Mr.. Richardson is alawyer, BENG

DINNER GIVEN
c. {. BALDWIN
HOnOrGd by Friends at The East
Jersey Club

A complimentary dinner was ten
dered to Chauncey c. Baldwin, presi-
dent of the East Jersey Club by the
members of the organization in the
club house in High street last night.
Mr.. Baldwin only recently returned
from his wedding trip to the Pacific
coast, and about forty-fve of the
members of the club were present isst
night to welcome him home.
The dinner will go down IN the his
tory of the club as one of The most
delightful affairs ever held by the or
g~anization. DR.. William E. Ramsay
acted as POSTMASTER and extempora-
neous addresses were made by Henry
w. Fisher, A. Clayton Clark, Jean Du
Bots and Robert l.. Fowler, formerly
of the Barber Asphalt Paving Com
pany here, but row located in Fort
Wayne, Texas. The speakers toll of
their associations with Mr.. Baldwin
and how glad they were to be num-
bered among his friends.
During the evening Mr.. Baldwin
was presented with a haudso ne ma
hogany csrd table by the clap, which
had been obtained from Flint & Hor-
ner, of New York city.
A feature of the evening was an FIX
cellent entertainment furnished by
Counihan &c Shannon of the Majestic

use for speculation. New Jersey and
its municipalities are growing so fast
that It is perfectly certain that under
our existing conditions land viii con-
tinually increase in value. This
tempts land spectators to invest
money in land which ought to be in
vested in building and to hold the
land out of use for a period Of years
so as to get the added value which
increased population should bring.
The holding of sc much land out OF
use in this way makes so much and
as Is used artiicially dear. This
means that the rent layer must pas
more rent: the man who wishes to
build a house must pay more of his
savings for land and therefore has less
to spend upon the building, and that
the manufacturer must pay more of
his capital for his land, n there
fore less to invest in his business. This
system puts a premium upon holding
Ia nd out of use and a penalty upon
home building and manufacture.
We should reverse this process and
exempt all personal property, all ma
chinery and stocks in trade Of mer-
and manufacturers and all
buildings from taxation. and raise our
local revenues by a tax upon the value
of land alone. A tax OF about live
per cent levied upon land alone would
raise in each municipality the Same
of money which is now raised by
a tax upon personal property and
A FIVE per cent tax upon land which
is devoted to It's appropriate uses,
such as the building of a house or a
factory. is much less to the individ-
owner of the house or the factory.
the tax at the existing rates upon
land, h buildings and the per-
property therein.
This system by lowering the taxes
improved property would reduce
rents to families n to manufac-
hiring business space; and
enable goods to be produced
more cheaply and therefore would at
thousands of home seekers and
men to our state from New
and Pennsylvania. Such a sys- +,
tenn would enormously increase our
population of acres of LAM now held
die for speculation, and increase the
for labor in our state.
Many Of the business men of the
are coming to understand the
force of this argument, and 1 conf

to Jake a substantial step at least
putting into effect this idea.

TRENTON, Nov. 1.-THE regular
monthly meeting of the New Jersey
State Highway Commission which

largely devoted to a consideration Of

the freeholders from Atlantic and
