OUR CONCLUSIONS ON THE BABcoCK AMENDMENT

In simple words the Babcock Amendment plan
for procuring money for building roads.
1t will not raise general taxes penny directly, and
will raise them only trife indirectly.
That is the main weakness of the system. People
are getting something for nothing, and
Immediately doubling, questioning and suspicious of
a plan which purports to give them something for
nothing.
But the plan is going to cost somebody something
it is going to the auto owner dearly. But the
average favors the plan because he expects
to get money back by the greater and
convenience saving of tires and gaso-
line.
Here then is the plan a nutshell: If the people
of the will give the state the right to tax automo
bes an average of SIS car the state will take
from the townships counties 1000 miles of the
principal the state and improve them and for
ever maintain them.
All the money which the townships and counties are
spending these 1000 miles then be spent
upon other roads.
The present state road and bridge fund will be en-
tire1y spent upon other roads.
The principal point made by Mr. Ronning for the
negative that will take anywhere from rs to 70
years to hard surface this complete system
In this contention present high costs continue
appears to be right
But whether state surfaces or gravels these
roads the business of the state and whatever the state
the townships counties will be the gamers just
the same, being relieved Of the care and
expense Of these roads.
Mr.. Lees principal point was that the same money
spent in hard surfacng would five times many
miles,
It would.
But after the amendment is passed, and authority
given to levy that auto tax the legislature decide

Good in Mental Friction,
Ekay.

A wise old chap in central Pennsyl-
vania says his enemies are better to
him than his friends. His friends
agree with him and make life as easy
as they can. His enemies don't care
a rap for his comfort but rather enjoy
seeing him hard-pressed. Accordingly
he is more alert when dealing with
them and does his best work under
pressure. In fact, he has made most
Of his money because the wiles of the
foe have made him cautious and untir-
ing. And who has not felt his spirit
glow under the stimulus of a little
mental rivalry? The very keenness
of some wits makes men witty. There
is something in the challenge of their
repartee that draws out a mans best.
It's the mental friction that starts the
fire.

"SHE WRITES"

The approaching baby clinic,
which is to take place on August 81,
is naturally causing good deal of
excitement, among the members Of
the (very) younger set, and leading
to comments, which. when translated
from the "goo-a-goo" tongue, run
something like this:
"Tho my pounds are but few,
said one babe to another
And I'm one ounce too light up to
date
My opinions, when voiced in loud,
prolonged howl,
Seem to carry good deal Of
weight"
Agreed to by all fathers, mothers,
neighbors, and
Ekay.

gravel $4,000 miles instead of hard surfacing 1000
miles if that is what the people Of the state want
The great big point which convinces the editor of
The Tribune that should pass this amendment is that
during the next twenty years, it will bring to Stevens
county additional $1,6O8,375 of road money, or
$8O419 each year, and that 40 cent of this
will be contributed by the automobiles Hennepin,
Ramsey and ST. Louis counties while the other so
will be contributed by the auto here at home
And every dollar that in from that will
release dollar to be spent the feeder roads out in
the country.
g. No negative argument can possibly outweigh that
outstanding fact.

in college, let it be written in primers spelling books

wrought out on canvas; speculate as

Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-10-30

The article reprinted here was
ablished in the Perth Amboy Eve
ing News. October 9. 1915, and
shows how Tom Scully looked
ahead and saw how the women were
going to come into their own.
The following statement was is
sued by Congressman Thomas j.
Scully today on his stand for wom-
ans suffrage:
1T seems to me in this discussion
whether women should have equal
political rights, that the logic is all
on the side of the women. AS the
lawyers say, they have made their
case 1t is indisputable that their
percentage of temperance, morality
and obedience to law is higher in
every community than men. Ergo,
given equal franchise. and the stand
ard of the electorate is certain to be
raised.
''At the meeting in Boston of the
governors from the equal suffrage
states last August, all were unani-
nous in declaring that co-citizenship
had been an unqualified success. To
quote Governor Capper of Kansas,
votes for women were largely re-
sponsible fer many poor houses and
jails being empty. Their faithful
ness to the ballot has been der1or-
strated, q these states by the re-
markab.y high per entage of votes
cast by them at election time. In
Chicago at the last municipal cleo
tion. the w0nlen voters numbered
t69.707. And this without any dis
turbapce of their normal daily life."

receipt of your letter of October

1t Is not possible for this department
to enter into a communication agree
ment with the Staten Island Rapid
Transit railway for the issuance of
commutation tickets between Perth
Amboy, New Jersey, and the Bor-
ough of Manhattan, New York City.
Such a Communication arrange
ment establishes an Interstate rate
ard this department was advised by
the Interstate Commerce COM
mission that this Interstate rate
would have to be cancelled or else
the municipal ferries would have to
come under the supervision of the

tation agreement under which trans
portation at Communication rate was
allowed over the ferries expired

Word was received today by the
EVENING NEWS from an official of
the Central Railroad of New Jersey,
that the Pennsylvania and Central
Railroads had come TO an under
standing whereby the interchanging
of tickets from the Central station
here will be continued.
The EVENING NEWS was called
on the telephone by w. C. Hope, the
passenger traffic manager of the
Central railroad. this morning and
notified of the decision to continue
the interchange of tickets. Later
the following telegram was received
from ID. n. Bell. passenger traffic
manager of the Pennsylvania rail-
road at Philadelphia:
will make application to the In
ter-state Commerce Commission aud
Public Utility Commission of New
Jersey for restoration of arrange
ment by which one-way and thirty
day around trip tickets will be made
interchangeable with G. r. r. of
New Jersey between Perth Amboy
and New York. Newark and Perth
Amboy, Elizabeth and Perth Amboy,
also fifty trip family tickets between
New York and Perth Amboy. to be
interchangeable effective November
5. Glad TO accede to your request. :"
ID. N. BELL.
Pass. Traffic Mgr.
Penn. Sys
1t IS now necessary for the rail-
roads to get the consent of the In
terstate Commerce Commission to
continue the interchanging of the
tickets, owing to the fact that a new
tariff doing away with this inter-
change of tickets to take effect on
November had been filed with the
commission.
A messenger from the railroads
has been sent to Washington to have
the tariff modified so that the tickets
bay be retained interchangeab as
they are at present. but owing to GER
tain rules which must be followed In
dealings with the Interstate Com
merce Commission. there is some
doubt If the tariff can be modified
before November 5. when the inter.
changeable tickets are to be discon-
tinued.
Should the modification of the
tariff be held up so that the order
that tickets sold at the station are
only good on the roads for which
they are sold has to go into effect
on November 5. the railroad official
stated that II would only be for a
short time and as soon as the tariff
can be modified the interchangeable
tickets will be again placed on sale.
