RIPPLING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason.
AFTER ELECTION,

All finished now the long campaign; the
voters made their meaning plain. we know
just where we're at; but little comfort do I
see, for johnson made a bet with me. and
stuck me for a hat. The weary conflict now
is done; a statesman lost. a statesman won.
and may the loser smile: but all my soul Is
sick and sore-that Johnson jay who lives
next door has touched me for a tile. And 1
must wheel him through the town upon a
barrow upside down, while all the loafers
jeer: oh. other men may shout and jest, but
there is sorrow in my breast, and on my
cheek a tear. And others march in gay
parade, and drink denatured lemonade, and
make the welkin thrill; but tragedy is in my
soul. for with a toothpick l must roll a pea
nut up the hill. ! see glad faces in the street,
and happy citizens I meet, without a care or
fret; ! sadly view the merry throng, for I
must wear my whiskers long, to pay a foolish
bet. The noisy band is playing tunes to en-
tertain the gay gossoons. but music make
me sad: this evening l must walk,
my eyes blindfolded. round a block, to pay
a wager bad. They say our bulwarks are Sc
cure. and there'l be justice for the poor,
and wrongs will be redressed; but I am full
of grief and dole, and all my hopes are in
the hole, so wretchediy l guessed.

FOR ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS.

With a minority of but one in the House of
Assembly for the coming session of the New Jer-
sey legislature the agitation is once more revived
II favor of a constitutional amendment provid-
ms for assembly districts instead of electing the
tsssemblymen from the county at large as at
resent.
Book in 1894 a law was passed establishing as
elally districts in the different counties, but
he supreme court declared the law unconstitu-
ional. Since that time no attempt has been
made TO make the change. 1t is evident. how
aver. that with only one Democrat in the lower
house of the legislature a large number of peo-
pie are not being represented at all. As a matter
Of fact, the Republicans themselves would pro-
badly welcome a little stronger minority than
they now have TO contend with.
A the Newark News points out in discussing
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-11-13

his subject. the counties as a unit are now rep
resented twice. Our system of electing state
senators. unlike nearly every other state In the
Union. is based on county representation model
ed after the representation OF the states in the
United States senate. There we have two sena-
tors from each state regardless of size or pop
ulation. New Jersey has one senator from each
county regardless of size or population.
But in the election of assemblymen, while the
number of assemblymen is based on population.
the assemblymen are chosen from the county at
large just as the senators are, so that the county
Is again represented as a whole in the lower
house.
The assembly district plan is to divide each
county into districts, and while each county
would be represented by the same number of
assemblymen as at present, based on population,
each assemblyman would be chosen from a GER
tain district in the county.
Middlesex had three assemblymen. At present
they are elected from the county at large. II
the county goes Republican all three assembly
men are Republicans. II the county goes Demo-
cratic. all three assemblymen are Democrats. But
If Middlesex was divided into three separate dis
tricts. each one having practically the same pop
~ulation, and one assemblyman was elected from
each district, there is a chance that while the
majority in the county as a whole might be
Republican or Democratic, there would be
enough votes in one of the districts to elect a
man from that particular section from the op-
posite party.
Certain parts OF Newark, for instance. are
strongly Democratic and no doubt a district
including that section would have returned a
Democratic assemblyman In the last election.
But because the county as a whole went strongly
Republican all the assemblymen from that coun-
ty are Republicans and the Democratic sections
Of the county are entirely unrepresented.
Then. too, by the election of only one as
semblyman from each district the people are
resent them in the legislature. They would
know him better and the people could vote more
intelligently.
Take Monmouth county, for instance. In
terests there are widely different. The coast
resorts practically dominate leaving the rural
sections almost wothout a voice in affairs. Yet
the people of the coast towns have little in COM
mon with the farmers who live inland. If Mon
mouth were divided into assembly districts these
rural sections would be assured of representation
and Monmouth would still have the same num-
Der of representatives in the legislature as it now
has.
There is every reason why assembly districts
should be established in this state. The Repub-
licans have 1t in their power this winter to put
the matter up to the people in the form of a con-
amendment. Here is a chance to
show fairness that would go a long way toward
strengthening the confidence of the people in the
party.

needle as it is hoved away from it.
but there is no definite point at
which this power ceases to exist.

A MANS z JOB.

IT is a mans size job that Orvin c. Baker. the
newly elected secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, comes to this city to tackle. 1t Is no
secret that the reorganization Of the chamber
has been no easy task. The American City
Bureau. which has had much experience in civic
work of this kind, put forth its best efforts to
build up a membership of 600. but the best that
could be done was a little over 400.
Even after the campaign the enthusiasm was
not very strong. The forums were poorly at
tended and there were indications on all sides
that the Chamber of Commerce was not as pop
ular as it ought to be.
However, with the reorganization now COM
plete. with new officers elected and with a pro-
gram of work outlined. there is reason to believe
that a fresh start has been taken and that with
the right kind Of management something really
worth while will be accomplished. Much de-
ponds on the secretary.
Mr.. Baker comes to Perth Amboy highly
recommended. He has had considerable exper-
fence in different places and in different kinds
of work. We doubt. however, IL he has ever
tackled n job like the one that now confronts
him. 1t must be admitted that there are a lot
OF skeptical ones about the city as far as the
success of the Chamber of is concern
ed. If those who are ~skepticai about its sue
cess would turn in and help, however, there
would be no doubt as to the future Of the or
ganization.
The great desire on the part of a majority of
the people seems to be to see some tangible re-
suits. While those who are closely identified with
the Chamber are fully aware of its usefulness to
the community. the public in general judge only
from the spectacular things and it is up to the
Chamber of Commerce to take up some big pro-
ject for the city and put it across.
Perth Amboy bids a hearty welcome to Mr..
Baker and We are sure that he has the best
wishes of those who are interested in the ad-
vancement of the city. Coming here a stranger
1t would be unfair to expect too much at the
start, but by making Perth Amboy his home
town in every sense of the word, by working
for it~just as If he expected to live here always
and by accepting the people as they are not what
they ought to be. he ought to succeed. Surely
there is no better field in which to work as far
as civic development is concerned.

GEORGIA BANKS ARE TO
CHARGE EXCHANGE ON
OUT OF TOWN CHECKS

Atlanta, Ca, July 23.-The
Georgia senate today adopted an
amendment to the state banking
laws which would make it manda-
tory for all banks chartered by the
state to charge exchange on out-of
town checks.
The amendment would make one
eighth of one per cent the legal
charge with a minimum of 10 cents
or each check. In addition the
amendment would make it illegal to
accumulate checks against one
bank for presentation at one time
when the total of such checks
amounts to more than the legal
currency reserve which the bank is
IrequireG to carry.

FEW RECOGNIZED GE
PERSHING IN "CIVVIES'

Boston, July 24.-General Per-
shing in uniform is a figure famili-
ar to the country; John J. Pershing
in civilian clothes passed unnoticed
by thousands on the streets of this
city.
The leader of the American ex-
Evolutionary forces, in passing
through Boston today to begin a
short stay at Naushon Island, as
the guest of W. Cameron Forbes,
former governor general of the
Philippines, was recognized by only
one person. The general in mufti
strolled about with his son, Warren
and his aide, in conventional dark
suit, panama hat, soft collar, and
white tie, an outstanding figure, yet
one which did not obtain recogni-
tion on streets through which he
had passed on parade a few months
ago.
