Truth Has to Go Some to Be

We don't care how much he
waves the Flag. any man who
knocks his home town is a darn
poor American.
Many a girl bushes all night in
her sleep because she forgot to re-
move the Permanent Blush before
she went to bed.
Women are becoming more
changeable. Some of them want to
change husbands every six months.
1t doesn't do a married man any
good to be sure he Is right. He can't
make his wife believe it.
Strange as it may seem, it isn't
the man who spends 100000 a year
in advertising who gets the idea
that he has a right to control the
policy of a newspaper. 1t is US
ually the man who spends 81 a
year..
We may be old-fashioned, but we
can't see the difference between
teaching Sex Hygiene in schools and
teaching Sex Advertising.
1t doesn't do an old-fashioned
mother any good to name her
Daughter Mary Ann. By the time
Daughter is fourteen years old
Daughter will be signing her name
Marie Antoinette.
A man lets out an awful yelp If
he has to work hard when he is
working. But he thinks 1t is fun to
work hard when he is playing.
Freedom and Prohibition started

Next time you draw a check to
send to the collector of internal
revenue for income tax, don't cuss;
think of being a Frenchman, and
be happy.
The French income tax is three
times the United States levy. An
official estimate Of taxes due from a
man with an income equivalent to
$50, 900, or 1900 francs, is $21,-
1928. This is assuming the normal
rate of exchange of $50 francs 10
the dollar. II the rate be assumed
to be IL francs to the dollar-the
present rate at deprecated ex-
Change Frenchman would have
to have 100000 francs income,
equal to $4,000 income IN the
L. S. A. At this rate the French
man will pay this year s30,223 in
come tax to his government.
The assumption is made that
this Frenchman is married, living
with his wife, and has three minor
children, and that his income is
equally divided between profession
al or business direct income and in
come from investments.
The citizen of the United States
of the same status pays to the
federal government on the same
income $6,407 tax.
The Frenchman whose income is
$4,000 francs will pay this year q
smaller income tax than in 1919.
The man whose income is 100000
francs pays so per cent. more in
come tax, while if he has an income
of 500, 900 francs he will pay $50
per cent. more next year than this.
France is reducing the tax on the
smaller incomes and increasing it
on the larger incomes.
France believes that taxation
should be based on ability to pay.
It is a pity that United States con-
gressmen do not read the French
news and get the suggestion that it
gives. A whole lot of people in the
United States believe that ability to
pay might probably be made the
basis Of taxation here. too.

1t Is a most dIsgraceful position
for a governor Of a state to be in.
On the governors shoulders. abso-
lutely. rests the responsibility for
the lawlessness that is now going
on in New Jersey. The governor
has the power Of appointment Of all
the prosecutors and the judges.
Naturally. these officials are not IN
clined to gain his displeasure IL
they can help it. 1t is humilisting
to the honest citizens Of a state to
feel that a governor might be IN
cl.ned to refuse a reappointment to
q mar who had done nothing more
than enforce the law as he found
It.
1t is well known that the COVER
nor is bitter against the Anti
Saloon League, but as long as that
organization merely points out pub
Ideally the open violations of the
law and continues to show up the
apparent refusal of the state OFF,
cials to do their duty. the league
has decidedly the better part of the
argument. Law-abiding citizens be-
lieve in respect for the law and they
cannot permit any n man. be ne
governor or private citizen, to set
himself up as being above the law.

PARKING

Much needed traffic regulations
have been passed by the Board of
Aldermen. State and Smith
streets with the trolley track in the
center and with automobiles parked
along the curb on both sides are
completely blocked at times. The
great increase in the use of auto
mobiles makes the enforcement of
such regulations as have been de-
vised necessary.
But State and Smith streets are
not the only thoroughfares that are
congested. There are many other
spots throughout the business sec
ton of the city that need attention.
Sometimes where there are
garages the street, occasionally on
both sides, is used for storage pur-
poses. In some instances it might
work a hardship on the garage to
compel it to keep the cars off the
street as far as storage is concerned,
nevertheless, the practice is becom-
Ing so general and the garages are
30 nero that the use of the
thoroughfares for storage
purposes, is becoming abused. The
Board OF Aldermen might well con
the whole question while they
are at 1t.

FOR BETTER GOVERNMENT


Commission government for
Perth Amboy is once again on the
forward march. Plans for the first
meeting called had to be changei
owing to conflicting dates. This
matter has now been arranged and
the first meeting to organize for the
campaign will be held Thursday
night of next week when Mayor
John J. Morrison, of New Bruins
wick, will be present to describe the
workings of the commission form of
government.
Every effort is being made to
keep the movement non-partisan IN
character and the organization is
for the purpose of getting away
from the zone man. idea and 20
give everybody interested a chance
10 be in at the very start.
One of the things to be impressed
on the public is that this is not a
movement on the part of anyone or
any set Of men to work out any
personal feeling against any other
set Of men. 1t is strictly a move
ment for giving the city better gov
srnment. In saying better govern
ment there is no intention to reflect
on any person holding office today.
1t is felt that under u present
system of government 1t is impossi-
BILE for any man to render efficient
service to the city. Try as he may.
there are so man. complications,
such divided authority and so many
conflicting laws that 1t is impossible
to get very far. While 1t is not ex
pected that the government will be
IDEAL and without faults should the
commission form be adopted. 1t is
believed that the opportunities for
really doing something will be so
much greater that the change is
we'll worth while.
The appeal for the adoption Of
commission government in Perth
Amboy is going to be made on the
ground of beneitting the city rather
than for the purpose of ousting any
man or set of men from office. On
this plea it is expected that every
citizen interested in the welfare of
the city a conscientiously join in
the movement.

REsPECT FOR THE LAW

Assistant State superintendent
Wilson, of the Anti-Saloon League
OF New Jersey. has placed before
the prosecutor of Hudson county
direct evidence OF the most fragrant
violation of the constitution and
the laws of the United States in the
open sale of intoxicating liquors.
He mentions by name some of the
prominent liquor dealers of Jersey
City and Hoboken, men who are
officials In the liquor dealers asso-
citation, and intimates that there
Is collision between the dealers
ind the authorities for protection.
"As you know" Mr.. Wilson says
In his letter to the Hudson county
prosecutor, at never complain uu-
less I have the goods I have pur-
chased whiskey personally, at a
very recent date, over the saloon
bars in Jersey City. and in other
parts Of Hudson county, and I have
turned over to the federal authori-
ties a mass Of afidavits Of such
purchases made by my representa-
tiyes and patriotic citizens of the
county"
ST. I11nrfhfnr kha nnnn mammal
IN which these saloonkeepers are
doing business MI. Wilson says:
Apparently these fellows feel
sure of official protection, and it Is
up to YOU the prosecutor. to prove
that such protection does not come
from the prosecutors Office"
The persistency Of the Anti
Saloon League in keeping on the
TRAN Of these liquor violations is
extremely annoying not only to the
liquor dealers but to the authori-
ties as well. 1t is well known that
The attitude that Governor Edwards
has assumed in connection with the
defiance of the constitution and
laws Of the United States is en-
~couraging to the i~awbreakers and
discouraging to any honest officials
who would like TO live up to theil
oath OF once and see that the Law
Il snforced.

Daily Horoscope

The stars incline but do not compel
Sunday. July IS. 1920
downright, 1920. by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate)
Although Mars is in benefic as
pect today, according to a~strology,
| Saturn and Uranus rule so strongly
for evil that it is a day in which to
be extremely cautious.
During this rule all the physical
attributes are likely to be stronger
than the spiritual aspirations. Love
of Ease and luxury should be curb
ID.
Under this sway the tendency to
eat too much may be easily INDUCED,
making for diseases of the diges-
ton, which will be exceedingly
prevalent.
Men of iron develop while Mars
is dominant and the seers declare
that weaklings are likely to be
overcome in the next few years.
Health is to be counted as a ma
tional asset so jealousy, astrolo-
gers foretell. that the standard of
the race will rise steadily owing to
the prevalence of scientific care for
all types of children.
At this time there should be re-
vealed benefits from the war not
hitherto recognized.
Fame for a soldier who will visit
the United States is forecast.
Women are to be less prominent
in public affairs all through the
next few weeks than they have ex-
pected to be. IL the stars are inter-
preted Alright.
Race questions will be again
prominent during this month. The
Indian will focus attention as well
as the Negro.
A plague OF insects may appear
at this time, tormenting human be-
ings as well as dumb animals.
According to ancient lore toy
makers should begin to win success
during this posting of the stars
and new enterprises of various sorts
appear to be forecast.
Persons whose birthdate ii Is
will have great good luck during
the coming year, IL they were born
in the morning. If born in the af-
ternoon the augury is not so favor
able.
Children born on this day will be
active and successful. These sub
jects of Cancer are on the cusp and
may have Leo characteristics which
impart ambition and initiative.
