ANOTHER COAL INVESTIGATION.

And now it is Senator Brown who lis on a
committee to investigate the coal situation.
True, the Middlesex statesman Is only a minor
itv member of the committee. but his response
bilitysis lust the same and he is in a position to
make things interesting if he feels so inclined.
But this whole matter OF Investigating the
coal situation is becoming a farce. Investiga-
tons by various government bodies have been
going on for years. but for some reason or
other the coal barons show little fear of them.
Some people were foolish enough to think that
something would be done after Senators Edge
and Calder issued a warning to the coal operators
following an investigation by them, that unless
the price of coal was reduced before congress
convened in December they would Introduce a
bill to have the government take over the con-
troll Of the mines. The coal barons also became
a little concerned. apparently, but it was need
less. The price Of coal was not reduced and
Senators Calder and Edge did not carry out
their threat.
Just what the New Jersey legislature hopes
TO accomplish in starting another coal investi-
cation is hard to tell. To inform the people
that the price of coal is exorbitant and that
there is no excuse for it is only repeating what
every mmitt that has looked into the matter
has declared. But that doesn't get anywhere.
Action is what is wanted, not more investiga-
ton. II the committee on which Senator Brown
will serve does something more than merely
make another investigation it will have justi-
fled it's appointment, otherwise 1t might better
adjourn before beginning and save the peoples
money.

HOW NEW YORK SAVES MONEY.

Once more we would call the attention OF the
New Jersey legislature to the economies being
made by the New York legislature in its effort
to save the taxpayers money. Two thousand
state employees who have held jobs merely be-
cause they were good fellows and had the en-
dorsement of some political boss, will be out
of employment after July /, ~effecting a saving
of nearly 49, oo.ooo New Jersey state depart
ments are honeycombed with sinecures like this
II New York can save nearly s. 100000 but cut
ting off these political grafters, New Jersey can
too.
Altogether, the budget for New York state this
year will be 81, 900, 900 less than it was last

MAPLE STREET.

Is not the Board of Aldermen going to do
something to put Maple street in fit condition
this year? This is one of the most important
thoroughfares in the city and the worst part
OF the street is the block on which the post
office is situated.
Mamie street is another instance of the city
suffering from its sins of omission. The pave
ment was laid before the sewer was put down
with the result that the work done at sucn
great expense to the taxpayers had to be torn
6p and now, after the settling process, the paw
ing has to be done ell over again. 1t is such
things as this that emphasizes the ignorance and
INCOMPETENCE Of governing bodies.
But the fact is. Maple street is in horrible
shape at the present time. Regardless OF VINO
was at fault in the first place, the present city
government is responsible for a continuation OF
the existing condition. 1t is to be hoped that
whatever paving program is adopted Tor THIS
year Maple street will be included.

year. This saving is brought about in spite OF
the unusual expenditures sp~proximating slS,-
100000. including such items as the states
shart Of the New York and New Jersey vehicular
tunnel
All this saving for New York state is brought
about because Governor Miller insists on carry
ing ou. his economy pledges. Would that New
Jersey had a governor who was as anxious to
do something like that for the people of New
Jersey. The way the expenses of this state are
pfiing up is appalling.
