BRIDGE AND TUNNEL BONDS
The State Constitution, Article 4, See.
ton s, Page Sc, Paragraph 4
Reads as Follows:

The legislature shall not, in any nam
ner. create any debt or debts. liability
or liabilities, of the State which shall,
singly or in the aggregate with any
previous debts or liabilities, at any
time exceed one hundred thousand del
lars. except for purposes Of war, or to
repel invasion, or to suppress insurrec-
ton, unless the same shall b author
lied by law for some single object err
work, to be distinctly specified hterein:
which law shall provide the ways and
means. exclusive of loans, to pay the
Interest of such debt or liability as 1t
falls due. and also to pay and discharge
the principal of such debt or liability
within thirty-hve years from the time
of the contracting thereof, and shall be
irrepealable until such debt or liability,
and the interest thereon, are fully paid
and discharged; and no such law shall
take effect until it shall, at a general
election, have been submitted to the
people. and have received the sanction
of a majority of all the votes cast for
and against it at such election and all
money to be raised by the authority
of such law shall be applied only to
the specific object stated therein, and
to the payment of the debt thereby
created. This section shall not be con-
to refer to any money that has
been, or ma be, deposited with this
State by the government of the United
States.
Vote for the bond issue for the bridge
at Camden and the unnel at Jersey
City. 1t is using the credit of the
State until the automobile traffic pays
for them.
Because the above is the fundamental
law, two propositions will be submitted
to the voters next Tuesday. One is to
issue millions of bonds to IA world
war soldiers and dependents. The
other is to vote for t~wenty-eight mil
lions of bonds to build a bridge over
the Delaware River between Camden
and Philadelphia, also a vehicular tun-
mel under the Hudson River between
Jersey City and New York City.
The law provides for tolls to pay
the bonds and interest which must be
carried by the State during construc-
ton until the profits come in. To carry
these a majority of the voters must put
an Y before the proposition. Failure
to put an X is counted against the
proposition. The bridge and tunnel
projects are needed for industrial and
commercial expansion which will help
to build up New Jersey.

To Upper Penns Neck Taxpayers

Mr.. Editor
would like to ask some questions
on public affairs that concerns all tax
payers of the Township. Why should
we not know where our none is spent
and who gets it? Why does it TAX
seventy-five days for a man M team
to work out the tax on an ordinary
farm, and whether it was lawful while
others got no work? Why should a citi-
zen of Oldmans be allowed to work in
Upper Penns Neck and get $4,000 of the
taxpayers money and a resident tax
pay is not allowed to work So?
When six teams are at work why
should it take three supervisors to
boss the job?
Some of our oldest residents and tax
payers nave nae almost to beg for
work to help pay taxes. Such party
autocracy was never known before in
the Township. 1t is reported some
have 5000 to their account. As the
statement is not published l inquire
whether it is-true.
Has the spirit of Abe Reuf, of San
Francisco, or Louis Khuenle, of Allan
tic City, got amongst us. Even the Gyp-
sizes have been treated better than some
of the old residents as they are above
to live amongst us, use the roads, pay
no taxes.
One candidate refers to his work on
the Board of Education. Was he doing
lawful work when he voted to pay Sc
a day for transportation, of children
when there was a bid of $3.50? We
have read about the 5th ward politics
of Philadelphia, but never suspected
such would get amongst US. 1t use to
be unlawful for a committeeman to hire
his own teams on the. road like it is
against the Borough Council and
County Freeholders. Such use to be
against the common law with fine and
emit. Have our local law
ers changed it? Why is not a state
ment published as formerly. All tax
payers have a right to know where the
taxes go.
It is time for the people of this grand
old Township, which use to be run by
honest Democrats, who treated their
neighbors, civilly even he they We're
Republicans, get together and have
men in office from whose management
there will be no rumors of graft which
has been prevalent the past three years.
Can we expect honest administration
from men who pay no taxes, own no
property and have 10 interest except
what they can get out of the office or
from those they hire under them.
Let us call on the Lord of Host to
help us turn things up next Tuesday
for truth and righteousness in govern
ment.

COUNCIL GRANTS
ARMENIA FULL
INDEPENDENCE
Neither u. S. Nor Other Power
Willing to Accept Man
date Over Country.

San Reno, April 2-Armenia rs
to be created an independent state.
This decision was reported by the
supreme council of the allies today
because neither the United States
nor any other power was willing to
accept a mandate over the country.
The boundaries of Armenia have
not yet been defined and the new re-
public will probably be rather con-
tracted, as it is believed that the
smaller the country the more easily
can it take care of itself, because if
too many Turks are left within its
confines they might overthrow the
government.
The council was requested to eject
the Turkish forces from the borders
of the new state. These proposals
have not been accepted by the coun-
Gil, which thus declines to avail
itself of the league as suitable
mandatory. 1t is understood that
if the league should be provided
with money it might have arranged
with neutral governments to exer-
else the mandate under supervision
of the league.
The council leaves Smyrna under
the suzerainty of Turkey, but places
the city and province under the ad-
ministration of Greece.

effect has come through a member
of the British premier's suite, for
the purpose of overcoming Premier
Millerand's opposition to revision OF
the German treaty.
"Maneuvers at San Reno" as
serts Pertinax, '.'having the purpose
of overcoming French opposition to
revision of the treaty, are the culmi-
nation of conversations which have
been going on atBerlin between off.
cials of the German government and
certain allied representatives. The
arrival of the German note asking
for a permanent army OF 200,OOO
men is not a mere coincidence.

Two American Vessels From

INFORMATION LACKING
ON EXACT SITUATION
Sonora Troops in Rebellion
Against Carranza, Pushing
Toward MazatIan-Cruisers
Ordered to Investigate.

Washington, April 25.-Two war
ships from the Pacific fleet we're en-
route tonight to Mexican waters to
protect American citizens and in
terests at Mazatlan and Topolo-
,bampo. They were dispatched from
San Diego today OH orders from the
Navy Department after request for
protection had come from State De-
partment representatives at these
two Mexican Pacific ports.
A similar request came from the
government agent at Frontera, on
the gulf coast, but was not acted
upon pending further investigation
of the situation there. The cruiser
Sacramento is at Tampico, only a
short distance away.
The exact situation at Mazatlan
and Topolobampo was not known
here. There had been no report of
disturbances at either place and lat
est advices said federal force of $50
men and two cannon had arrived at
Mazatlah.
Sonora state forces, in rebellion
against the Carranza government,
are known to be pushing on toward
Mazatlan, the most important Mex
lean gateway on the Pacific. This
force is now we'll south of Topolo-
bampo, but whether detachment
had been deployed to make an as
sault there was not clear.
At the Navy Department it was
said that the cruiser Salem and de-
stroyer No. 276, the ships ordered
to Mexico, were under instructions
to Investigate the situation.
