Sugar Producing

:. c. Harley Tells Rotary
Club He Deplores Subject
ing Immigrants Needed in
u. S., to Litcracy Test

Cuba will not be able to produce
sugar at less than six cents pound
this year, according to r. G. Mendoza,
vice-president Of tho National Bank Of
Cuba, who spoke Mt the Hotel McAlpin
last night at the annual meeting Of the
Rotary Club Of New York. He asserted
that Cubans should not be blamed en-
tirely for high sugar prices, for Amer
can plantation owners are equally
concerned.
Mr.. Mendoza, who is member Of
the Havana Rotary Club, told OF the
conditions which existed in Cuba when
the present sugar crop was planted and
said that the growers must obtain a
reasonable profit in order to meet
their obligations with American ma
chinery manufacturers.
"Thc Rotary clubs Of Cuba are doing
much to foster the closest business and
international relations and, I may say,
love between Cuba and the United
States" he said.

Commission itself made, now. In the
light of these facts. do you still assert
Commissioner, that you were justified
in promulgating to the press q state,
ment which could not have anv other
possible effect than to discredit the
work OF the Legislature ?"
Commissioner Higgins replied in a
voice that increased in defiance as he
rroceeded:
Il think the statement was justified
The motive was not to discrodit the
work Of the Legislature but to call at.
tention to the work of the hospitals

rot sufficient That was condition
brought on by the war. | think VIC are
justified in letting the public know
the facts"
Both Commissioners declared they
considered the statement justified.
Governor Demands Cooperation
Governor replied:
Il wanted to find out your attitude
You have indicated, Commissioner, an
attitude which convinces me that YOU
are not in frame of mind to make the
appropriations that were made serve
their purposes even if they would serve
them. We have got to have state
government administered by people who
are willing to cooperate with the head
Of the state government and with the
Legislature in producing an economical
and efficient administration.
There won't be anybody in the
state administration while I am the
head Of it, If can help it, who Is not
willing to do that.
I'm view of your present statement
cause before me Thursday at IL O'Clock
why you should not be removed from
office, or in the mean time you may
tender me your designations"

Edwards VetOes
Port Treaty Bill
As Peril to Jersey
Asserts. Measure Prevents
States Withdrawal From
Compact if Terms Don't
Suit; Repassage To- day
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

TRENTON, N. j., April Ex-Governor
Edwards to-day vetoed the bill author
izing the commission to negotiate a
treaty with the State of New York for
the development of the Port of New
York. The Executive said that if car
ried out the pact would unite the State
unhappy and Improbable marriage
from which it cannot be relieved
While he disapproved the bill, the
Governor took his action to-day so it
could be considered and passed over his
veto by the Senate tomorrow and by
the House of Assembly Friday, which
is the day fixed for the sine die adj
journment of the Legislature. Under
the rules, vetoed measure must lay
over one legislative day before being
acted upon.
In his veto message the Governor
said:
Il regard this measure as a danger
GUS one. Except as limited by force
of Article XXI, New Jersey may not
withdraw from the compact, although
subsequent developments of future
years may dictate the wisdom of that
course. The limitation seems to be
that either state may withdraw in the
event that plan for the compre-
hensive development of the port shall
not be adopted by both states on or
prior to July /, 1923.
Assuming that the plan will be
adopted by that date, to express it in
a homely way, New Jersey may find
itself united in an unsatisfactory UNI
happy and Improbable marriage, from
which it cannot be relieved
The future of this state is so important
that it should not be indissolubly
bound up with that of any other com
monwealth in compact or agreement
which cannot be abrogated for all time
| am fearful that the enactment of this
measure into law will result in tying
the hands of the state. Whether that
be so or not, this much seems to me to
be fundamental wisdom-that no en-
tity, whether it be that of an individ
ual or that of business corporation
or municipality or a great state like
New Jersey, should gamble with the pros
perity Of the future by making an ire
pealable contract which is to operate
for eternity. l strongly urge that this
measure be not made law

of the government. lilo recapitulatcd
the steps which had led to stoppage
Of work in tho mines, and remarked
that he had been told by the miners
that he could not mediate between
thcm and the owners. He argued that
a continuation of the government sub
sidy and control for one month would
not solve the question, and he urged
tho miners to meet and discuss wage
schedules for separate districts.
Interrupted by shouts from Labor
members Of I'VE won't do it'll" Sir Rob-
crt asserted that In rnc proposals made
by the mine owners there were oppor-
tunities for increased wages with
every trade revival, and he begged the
miners to endure the present Difficult
ties while waiting for better times.
II. II. Asquth, leader Of the Opposi-
ton, said later that he agreed with
Sir Robert generally, but also made a
plea for national wage agreement
that would allow for local variations.
Position of Labor Unions
The general line Of defense assume ed
by the labor spokesman was that the
coal miners had been double-cros&,d
through the removal of governmn,t
control and that now they were not
to receive even living wage. Vernon
hartshorn remarked that labor was
suspicious of an alliance between the
government and the mine owners.
James Henry Thomas, president of
the Railwaymen's Union, possibly fur
nished a clew to his own attitude at
the union meetings tomorrow, when
he pleaded that the people would be
the losers if there were finish fight
between the unions and the owners
He added that the odds were that the
dispute would spread, for the workers
in other industries thought that wage

State May Alter Income Tax

ALBANY, April 5. - Senator Fred
erick N. Davenport, chairman of the
Joint legislative tax committee, to-day
introduced a bill amending the state in
come tax law in respect to the pay
ment of tax on stock transactions The
measure would grant considerable re-
lief to the taxpayer in that it proposes
to permit him to compute his tax not
on apparent profits as at present, but
on basis of actual losses incurred in
the sale of securities purchased by him
prior to January l, 1919, when the state
income tax law became effective
The measure is designed to eliminate
inequalities in the income tax law
which have met with widespread protest
1t was framed by Attorney General
Newton, who declared that it goes q
long way toward rcmedying an un.
satisfactory situation. 1t is expected
the bill will be passed and approved BY

such a manner that the expenditures

we believe that one of the ways that
the expenses of this county can be cut

Grand .Inru.

Your committee appointed to ex-
anime the books and records of the
lcounty officers beg to report as fol-
lows:
We have examined the books and
records of the Ordinary, County
Treasurer, Clerk of Superior Court,
Sheriff, Tax Collector and County
Commissioners, and in SO far as we
can find from our limited time, these
books are neatly and efficiently kept
We have checked the statements sub
mitted by these various officers to the
Grand Jury, with their books insofar
as possible and find them to be cor
rect. We find the treasurer has OUT
stnding warrents of approximately
$157, 5000 with practically no cash
on hand which amount practically
agrees with the estimated of indebt-
edness as given us by the County
Board of Commissioners. From the
statement which is attached you will
mote that the estimated deficit Jonu-
airy 1st, 1922, will be $59,076.87.
We find that T. H. LEROY is due
the County $1,112.47 unsolicited
taxes, which is in the hands of the
Sheriff. Also, $1,236.47 of drainage
tax unsolicited. 1t is our opinion
that these matters should be given
immediate attention and these taxes
collected with further delay.
| We also find in the Commissioners
Office several professional taxes for
the year 1920 which are unpaid, and
we would reccomend that the next
Grand Jury investigate this matter
and if they have not paid by that
time steps be taken according to law.
We also find in the tax Collectors
office that there are several who have
not pad their special state tax, we
would recommend that the necessary
steps be taken to make this collect
ion without further delay
Your committee realizes that it is
impossible to make anything but
very limited investigator and feels
that if a through examination of the
books and accounts of Cunty officers
is desired that this should be done
by regular auditor at least once
year.
