THE OBSERVER

Penns Grove has two banks, several
Churches and a fine Borough hall. A
desirable lot for a residence or a bust
ness house cannot be bought for much
less than a thousand dollars, but a
long time ago, when the town was no
more than a wide place in the road,
lots sold by the acre and were valued
but little higher than adjoining lands
planted to field crops.
Among those who lived in the town
during it's infancy were a few who
dreamed that it would become a town.
These invested their savings in lots.
They were industrious and thrifty
folk, and as the growth of the town
afforded larger opportunity, they pros
pered and increased their holdings.
A thrifty man will water and prune
and fertilize a tree he has planted.
Those who had their money invested in
lots were patriotic by reason of self
ishness. To insure a profit on their
investments, they contributed of their
earnings to build schools and churches,
to plant trees and to build walks; and
in the effort to make money they made
a town. Except for their faith and
their energy, the town would now be
no larger than it was in the begin
ming.
These town builders have sold the
greater part of their property and got
the money to live in comfort. The
lots they hold are kept for their chill
dren or their grandchildren.
The present generation of young
business men has little sympathy with
the past. 1t is annoyed by the sight
of vacant lots, for it would have a
town become a city-not in a genera
ton but in a day. And as it looks
upon the vacant lots that appear to
stand in the way of its dream it says:
''These old men who cling to their idle
property, waiting year after year for
higher prices, are stumbling blocks in
the way of progress. The town has
grown up about them and made them
rich, and it should get some benefit in
exchange for the service it has rem
dered. 1t should tax these lots heav-
lily and force them on the market"
This feeling of resentment is not
shared by all the younger men. Some
of them are investing their savings
in lots in the hope of reaping a har-
vest as the town grows, and these feel
that vacant lots should bear no more
than a fair share of the tax burden.
Many men have many theories CON
corning the levying of taxes, but the
theories have one point in common:
They agree that justice consists in
taxing the other fellow.
One who would make money must
learn to render service for which the
public is willing to pay or get posses
sion of a commodity for which the
public is willing to grant him a profit
In either case his wit deserves a re-
ward.
When civilization decides to make
foresight a crime and to provide 9
penalty for enterprise, there will be
no progress, but only a common level
of worthlessness. It is the desire
to win races that breeds fast horses.

Two Prohibition Programs
Two programs for prohibition en-
forcement in New Jersey are now be-
fore the legislature. Failure of the
House judiciary Committee to seek
the advancement of the Hobart-Van
Ness bill was marked by the p%resenta-
ton of another enforcement measure
by Senator Alexander Simpson of Hud-
son county.
The Simpson measure would make a
distinction between those who manu-
facture and sell whisky as a beverage
and those who only sell beers and
light wines. 1t would give each COM
munity the right to set drastic forces
in motion against sellers of whisky.
