Can You Unravel
This Ring Mystery

John Parella, thirty years old, mar
ried man, living at Bergenfield, was
lodged in the Hackensack Jail today
charged with having criminally as
saulted Lillian Schroeder, seventeen
years old, of Dumont, on Monday night
last. Parella was arrested by Police
Chief Albert Keil and members of his
staff Tuesday night as he kept an en-
gagement made with the girl on the
scene of the alleged attack.
According to the story of the girl,
she met Parella about s 80 o'clock
Monday night between Bergenfield and
Dumont. He attacked her and took
from her a ring valued at $50, after
which the pair walked together to the
girls home. He told her his name was
Jimmy Valentine, she says. She con-
scented to meet him again last night,
the engagement being made for the
same place.
On reaching home she told her
mother of her experience and her step
father, Harry Russell, a contractor, no.
titled the police. A search failed to
locate the man, and it was decided
to permit her to keep the engagement
made for Tuesday night on the posi-
bility that the man would put in an
appearance.
The girl was accompanied to the
rendezvous by police officers and talk
ed to Parela for some minutes before
he was placed under arrest. Accord
ing to the police chief, the man handed
over the missing ring. He is held I'M
der $1,000 bail.
Parella is butcher, but little is
known of him in Bergenfield. He was
Jailed, says the Record.

TAXES ISSUE IN BERGEN RAISING
MERRY CAIN AND REVOLT IS ALMOST
SURE TO COME IN SOME LOCALITIES

That the taxation issue in many
of the Bergen boroughs is making a
stout impression, was evidenced last
week and this, following the publica-
ton of the tax rates. To put it plain
ly, the taxpayers are discouraged and
feel everywhere that something must
be done to put a stop to the continued
increases. Many home owners are
severely burdened by this newest tax
gouge, while the authorities every
where excuse themselves on the
grounds that everything is so much
higher now than formerly, including
labor and material AS matter of
fact, this is not altogether true, Meth
er labor nor material being as high
this year as last. Many people feel
that having gone over the top last
year, the borough daddies might at
least have allowed taxes to remain
as they were. That is what some bor
oughS have DONE or else they have
made only slight advances. The Dor
ough of Fairview, for instance, raised
only one point this year, but they were
already the highest of any munich
pality in the county.
Said Charles r. Logan this week:
eff it were not for the fact that I
have long advocated commission gov
eminent, / would say something at
this time. l know a lot / would like
to say. The big thing is for the peo-
pie now to act. Let them do some
thing, which they will never do as
long as the general public sits with
folded hands and allows the politicians
to run the machine to suit themselves
I'll! .rss.seSs are the only ones getting any,
thing out of high taxes. Personally,
I would say Let's get together. Let
us talk this thing out to a finish. 1t
is a big job, l know, to overthrow
the SYSTEM, but it needs to be done
now more than ever. We see where
we are drifting There will be no
ietup if we do not awaken. Next
year taxes will be higher. But start
something now and these gentlemen
will come right out and say they will
he lower, Yes, yes, yes! OF course,
they will be lower. We know that. 1t
will he when the moon is turned into
green cheese. l wonder some indignant
soul doesn't step out and buckle on
his armOr.''
Paul T. Brady, speaking of his taxes
the coming year, said: 'For my part,
I am disguised. My bill will be two
times as much as 1 used to pay. I
think we ought to do anything to put
a stop to this reckless spending of
public money We have got to make
a change and the sooner the better"
Harry Clark, ST., of Edgewood lane,
said this week: 81 will take chance
at any kind of political upheaval that
will rid us of this continued climb of
our taxes

Reduced Now to 90

Only siXty-eight cOnductorettes are
now at work on the Public Service
trolleys. In the early part of 1918,
when the war was on. the company
had 300 conductorettes in service and
it seemed as if the number was much
greater. Since the signing of the
armistice, however, and former serv-
ice men have become available no
women have been taken on for the
cars. AS those employed during the
war left their jobs they were re-
placed by men. The women left are
mostly in Newark and West Hoboken
and a few scattered through the en-
tire system.

GET ON THE BANDWAGON.

PEA Over q year ago the Pioneer Ex-
press contained an editorial calling
attention to the apparent easy man
ner the government took charge of
The grain market during the war
and established q uniform price.
There was not q jar in the progress
of the commercial world, save the
board Of trade in the larger eenters
were practically put out of commits
sion. It was q time when these
wheat gamblers did not dare to op-
pose the measure, and for nearly
three years the farmer knew what
he was to get for his wheat.
What was possible then ought to
be possible now what was the Pho
neer Express contended. What the
farmers Of the wheatgrowing coan-
try wants is an assured price. They
will be satisfied with considerable
less than war prices. We believe
that if guaranteed price of $1.50 a
bushel was established we would see
the greatest prosperity in this coun-
try. Even better than what we had
during the war when the price was
double that amount.
We believe the same thing could
be applied to cotton and other pro-
duct of the soil that is not perish
able: Potatoes and fruit will have
70 be disposed Of in short notice and
it would. be a difficult matter to es-
tablish stipulated price on these
commodities. But if the price of
wheat and cotton was high enough
to make it profitable to carry on the
work Of farming other things would
follow, as it was three years ago. /,
I, Just ROW the United States Grain
Growers Association have represent
atives in Washington lobbying in
the interest Of establishing uni
form price for grains. We think
they ask too much, $3.50 a bushel,
but they are on the right track. Let
them stay right there and make it
plain to the members of Congress
from the agricultural states that
they expect them to support bill
that will have for it's purpose the.
establishing Of a uniform price for
grains. Those who will fall in line
are sure to have the support at home.
But if they insist on continuing in
the old rut they are liable to stay at
home after the>next election, wheth-
er they are Republicans or Demo-
Gratis. -
What the Pioneer Express means.
by uniform price is minimum
price. If the demand was in excess
Of the product i. Of Course would go
higher.
