Trenton.-John 2. Dullard, for fif-
teen years member of the Trenton Tax
Board, declared that, in his Judgment,
real estate was bearing an undue bur
den of taxation, which is leading to
the encouragement of home owning
by the wage Garner of moderate in
come. in an address before the sew
enth annual convention of the Manu-
facturers' Association of New Jersey
at Atlantic City. DR.. Dullard was for
mer state librarian. The effect can
not be but bad i'm the matter oS home
life and social contentment,' de com
mented. He advocated a limit on tax
rate on real estate and a thorough re
vision of the personal taX laws.
Mr.. Dullard prefaced his talk by
pointing out that in 1913 the total
amount Of money raised by taxation in
the United States for nation, state,
county and municipal purposes was
So 66,970,443 or about $50 per capita.
This is only ~three-f0urths of the
amount expected to be raised in The
next fiscal year for the purposes Of
the national government alone, as d
budget of $4,000 600 is contem-
plated.
See Great Tax Advance.
The amount of money raised in New
Jersey in 1920 for state, county and
municipal purposes vas over $l30,000,-
600, SO that the per capita tax in New
Jersey for nation, state. county and
local purposes now is between SO and
$50.
He said an income tax. as suggest
ed by last years state tax ~inyestiga-
ton commission, is probably inevita-
bile ii New Jersey. Mr.. Dullard spoke
strongly in opposition to the single
ii theory.
John X. English, of Elizabeth, de-
clared the United States is in a posi-
ton of supremacy, hut she can nof
rest on her oars. she must teach
her manual as well as her mental
workers a alessening of the hours Of
work per year below a eertainlimit or
shiftlessness in the performance af
tasks will result in lowering her p0-
sition among the nations. Much is
heard concerning Americanism, as if
this was a matter Of birth and not Of
conduct. l ask you not to despise the
foreigner, so called, who upholds our
laws and our traditions, but to oppose
the disloyal wherever they way have
been born"
Urges Port Boost.
Julius Cohen, counsel for the New
York and New Jersey Port Develop
ment and Harbor Commission, pointed
to the need of increasing the facili-
ties Of the Gateway into the New
World" destined to become the
greatest Of all shipping centers in the
world, greater than was ever known
in history"
The association by resolution eX-
pressed its confidence in President ].
Philip Bird, who is charged in his
position as general manager of the
National Association of Manufac-
turers with being a member Of a
clique controlling politics in both the
parent body and the New Jersey or

Sea eirt Camp on July 9
Plans for the summer encampment
of the New Jersey National Guard, ap-
proved by Governor Edwards, propose
mobilization of an infantry brigade at
Sea Girt for the first time s'nce 1911.
The pncampment will also witness the
pitching Of tents by the only regiment
of cavalry the state has had since the
Civil War.
The inquiry being conducted by the
Mackay Legislative Probe Committee
is not interfering with the plans of
Governor Edwards, as commander in
chief, for Brigadier General Howard
s. Borden to assume command of the
camp. The general has not yet been
extended permanent federal recogni-
ton by the Federal Milit a Bureau.
Officers Of the Third Regiment who
turned in their designations months
ago. protesting against General BOr-
denis election, will be compelled to 90
camp July 9, as Borden has declined
TO accept them. 1t is planned TO keep
the Third Regiment at Sea Girt until
July %. The Sixth Infantry will come
10 Camp Edwards July 10. A week
after the Third arrives, and will re-
main until July 30. This arrangement
will result in both regiments being in
camp from July 10 to July %. The
VII be in camp from July 80
to August 13.
Trenton Guardsmen are members OF
Fl. a unit of the Third Regi-
ment, and will 90 into camp July 9 TO
