rxEMpTNG ~NEw'HoUsEs.

One of the provisions in the hous-
ing legislation that has just been
enacted by the state legislature Is
the exemption for the next five years
of all taxes on new dwellings. This
may be very advantageous to the
fellow who intends to build, partic-
ularly the real estate operator who
may seize the opportunity to in
crease his realty holdings without
being taxed but it is a discrimina-
ton against the fellow who has al
ready built his home, particularly he
who built during the past year I'M
der the most adverse conditions.
1t may tend to increase the num-
Der of houses, but the expenses OF
the government are ever increasing
and the fellow who already has
built his home must pay that much
more of the general taxes for the
next 1--WE years in order that his
neighbor may be helped to build his
house now. This hardly seems fair
to the present property owners
Taxation is something that ought
to be shared by all alike. AS much
as we desire more houses, some
means should be found to encourage
house building other than exempting
taxes for some and piling It on others
still heavier than before.
There is a grave question whether
such tax exemption is constitutional.
The supreme court. a few years ago,
declared that the exemption allowed
the fremen was unconstitutional It
was held that taxation was some
thing that must rest on xall alike.
That being true, even though we
need more houses badly, how is it
possible for the legislature TO say
that those who build now need not
pay any taxes for five years, while
those who have already built must
keep right on paying. including the
other fellows share as well as his
own.
Governor Edwards has not signed
the bill just passed by the legisla-
ture as yet but there is every reason
to believe that he will. If he does
so there is good reason to believe
that should the law be attacked in
the courts It would be held to be un-
constitutional.

THE COUNTY ISSUE.

Another candidate for the free
holder nomination has come out in
favor of the repair and upkeep of
existing improved roads before
spending so much money on new
construction. He Is Timothy ].
NevIl, OF Roosevelt, a candidate on
the Republican ticket. Nj. Nevill.
In his tout Of the county, has noted
the de~plorable condition of the roads
and realizes that IL the roads already
improved had been given proper at
tention from time to time as the
holes began to appear Middlesex
would have as fine a system OF high
ways today as could be found any
where in this section Of the country.
The policy OF the freeholders in
the past has been to build roads in
All sections of the county and once
they are completed to forget all
shout them. each year paving new
roads thereby adding TO the number
that ought to be kept in repair with
out doing anything along that line.
Today we have the outrageous con-
difson of hardly a decent road in the
county in spite of the millions Of
dollars that have been spent on them
during recent years.
Mr.. Neville also puts his finger on
another practice that ought to be
stopped. He would call q halt or the
promiscuous taking over by the
county board OF every road and by
way that the county is asked to be-
come responsible for. It has now
,coms to pass that the average Dor
ough and township does not think
of paving any of its own streets or
highways. When a street or road
needs paving the borough or town
ehip authorities go to the Board Of
Freeholders and have the freehold
ers take It over as a county road and
II Is paved and maintained by the
county.
There Is no more reason why the
county should pave the main streets
Of any borough than there is for the
county to pave the main streets OF
Perth Amboy and New Brunswick.
The taxpayers of this city pay by far
the largest amount OF county tax of
any municipality in the county, yet
when they want a street paved, I'M
less 1t is on the outskirts which is
really open country, the city paves
it. With the average borough, how
ever, when they want a street paved
they go to the county to have it
done. thus the people of Perth Am
boy not only pay the entire cost of
paving their own streets, but pay a
large percentage OF the cost OF paw
ing the streets Of various towns and
boroughs throughout the county.
The precedent was established
several years ago. and, of course. If
the county does It for one place. 1t
must do It for all. But the practice
has gone about far enough and it is
time to end it. AS we have stated
before. roads are the big issue in the
campaign this fall as far a. the state
and county are concerned. The
voters would do well TO sound out
all the candidates on this matter be-
fore casting their vote.

REDUCED ACREAGES IN
POTATOES AND BEANS
These Crops WIN BE Short Unless
More Are Planted This Month And
Weather Conditions Change.

Washington, ID. C.-Reductions of 8
per cent in the acreage planted to po-
tatoes last year and of 20 per cent in
areas devoted to beans are indicated
for this season in reports just receiv-
ed by the Bureau of Crop Estimates
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The reports came through the
field agents of the bureau who on May
inquired of growers in important
producing states concerning their in
/ tended paintings. High prices for po-
tato seed and the farm labor shortage
are the principal reasons given for the
reduction in potato paintings. The un-
satisfactory market for beans is given
as the reason for the smaller acreage
planned for that crop. The reports
show that for the states covered the
potato acreage will be IS per cent as
large as last year. while the bean acre
age will be II per cent. of last year.
New York reports the intention to
plant 81 per cent of last years acreage
in potatoes, Michigan 80, Wisconsin
95, Minnesota SO, Colorado "a, Idaho
50, and California 10. Aroostook
county, Maine, which produces 60 per
cent. of the potato crop of New Eng
land, intended to plant as much or
more, but deep SHOWS, strikes, and en-
bargoes have delayed receipt of ferti-
lizer, and paintings will depend upon
the amount received in time.
New York reports an intended acre
age in beans 80 per cent. as large as
last year, Michigan IS, Wisconsin 20,
Colorado 65, New Meico 80, Idaho 100.
California will plant 60 per cent. of
all varieties, limas being 80 per cent
and other varieties so per cent of last
year, although a poor barley crop in
Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys
may increase paintings of the latter.
Final paintings of beans and pota
toes will be setimated by the Bureau
of Crop Estimates on July 1.
The potato crop last year was $685.
100000 bushels-54, 100000 bushels less
than in 1918, and 100000 less than
in 1917, but 100000 more than in
1916. 1t was about three per cent.
smaller than the average crop of the
preceding ten years, and six per cent.
smaller than the average crop of the
preceding five years. The paintings
last year weer large enough to have
produced with an average yield a crop
of $50 900 900 bushels.
The bean crop of the United States
last year was about 100000 bushels
While only about three-fifts as large
as the crops grown ont the exception
ally large acreages of 1918 and 1877,
the 1919 crop was almost equal to the
crops of 1914 to 1916, which averaged
between u and 13 million bushels. The
planting as now indicated-about SOO,-
900 acres-with a yield equal to the
average of the last five years would
produce S,250,OOO bushels.

OWNER
SPEAKS HIS MIND
Says Injustice Is Being Done by Re-
curing Payment in Full of Paving
Assessments in Ten Days.

Editor The. Dawson News: When
the paving bonds were approved a
few months ago by the necessary
majority of Dawson's voters there
was at least the especial understand
ing that the two-thirds interest to
be paid by the owners of the prop
erty which might happen to abut the
street paving would be divided over
period Of years, four or five. The
positive promise may have not been
made to this effect, but almost if not
every voter so understood the mat
ter. AS a result of this understand
ing the bonds were carried, other
wise there would not today be a foot
of paving on Dawson's streets.
Now it seems notices are being
sent out giving but ten days to prop
erty owners to pay the amount in
full of each mans one-third obliga-
ton. Is there a man who will say
that this is good faith? That it is
dealing fairly, these hard times, with
those who must not only bear the
burden of two-thirds of the cost of
paving, but must also bear an equal
share with every other citizen of the
cost of the other third in the end?
The one-third to be paid by the en-
tire city has a period of 80 years to
run. Must we, the abutting proper
ty owners, who must pay double
share, now be made to pay the spot
cash?
l do not believe this injustice will
be borne. If by any means it be
placed upon us there will be an
Alaska day in August in old Dawson
when another issue of bonds, for any
sort of paving at least, is voted
This experience will linger long.
Property owners, what are you 60
ing to do about it? 1t is up TO you
now to take immediate steps to Sc
cure that justice which should be
ours? ONE OF YOU.
