upon finding a long waiting line here to continue
northward by this sewaren route to Roosevelt
and cross to Staten Island at that point.
That the state appreciates this is evident from
the attitude Of the state Highway Commission.
George L. Burton. chairman of the commission.
is a Middlesex county man and thoroughly I'M
derstands the situation. His assistance in such
an important matter as this is greatly sppre-
ciated. He is doing excellent service.
This Sewaren road is one of the most impor-
tant in Middlesex county, aside from the state
highways. When in fit condition it will carry
an enormous traffic. not only in one of the most
populous townships in the county. but forming
the connecting link between two such important
places as Perth Amboy and Roosevelt.
But in the matter of paving the taxpayers are
not going to have any patent pavement forced
upon them at an exorbitant price when there is
good reason to believe that an all-concrete road
can be built at n much lower figure. The traffic
over this road is going to consist largely Of
neavv trucking and it has been demonstrated
that solid concrete stands up best under such
conditions. II the Board of Freeholders want
bids on a special kind of surfacing, let them
also secure bids for all-concrete at the same
time in order that the costs of the two kinds OF
roads can be compared. The paving, however
must be done this spring now that the state
has promised aid.

POLITICS.

Rotten politics. nothing else, is the explana-
ton of the present situation in regard to the
Public Utility Commission.
1t was rotten politics that caused Governor
Edge to pack the utility board with his bench
men. 1t was rotten politics that caused Govern
Or Edwards to remove this board. 1t was rotten
politics that caused the senate to refuse to con-
firm the men nominated by the governor to
succeed those whom he relieved. 1t was rotten
politics that caused the legislature to pass a bill
creating a new Public Utility Commission Of
three members with a salary of $4,000 a year
each. 1t was rotten politics that suggested the
names of the three men sent to the senate by
the governor for confirmation under the new
law. It was rotten politics that caused the senate
to confirm the one Republican nominee, a cheap
of Atlantic City, rejecting the other two
who are equally notorious Democratic politi-
clans in their respective ~bailiwicks.
1t is evident that not until New Jersey has a
governor who can rise above the petty ward
politician class will the state have a real Public
Utility Commission in which the people can
have confidence.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

Now that we have all just finished making
out our income tax returns and many have paid
their first installment thereon it is interesting
10 consider for a moment what all this money
that we are paying into the government is going
to be used for. Following is a brief summary
OF the way each dollar is to be spent. as pre-
pared by one of the expert statisticiaus:
For past wars pensions, compensation, in
terest On public debts, etc, including expenses
incident to federal control of railroads)-six-
ty-eight cents.
For present defense (army and navy)-twen-
t. cents.
This makes lightweight cents out of the dol
lars for war purposes alone.
For salaries Of the President. the vice presi-
dent. members of congress, justices of the SUI
preme court and all other civilian and federal
officeholders. costs of harbor improvements
good roads. education and all other peace-time
activities-twelve cents.
Think it over. folks. Is it not worth while to
make at least some attempt to bring about dis
armament among nations and thus lessen the
likelihood of war? When lightweight cents out
of every dollar that we pay the federal govern
nient in taxes is spent for war purposes. truly
it is time for Christian people who boast Of their
civilization to sit up and take notice.

STATE AID FOR sEwAREN ROAD.

With the state Highway Commission promis-
Ing state aid for the sewaren road extending
from this city to Roosevelt no excuse is left for
inc. Board Of Freeholders to further delay def
mite action on the permanent improvement Of
this Highway. With the money that the state
viii give little is left for the county to pay to-
ward this improvement. The condition Of the
road warrants immediate steps being taken to
have the work completed.
Besides the importance of this road for local
travel it has an important bearing on the auto
mobile congestion here during the summer
months. 1t has been evident for some time that
the single ferry at this point is not capable oil
handling the traffic. on Sundays and holidays
the tourists are delayed sometimes two or three
hours before they can get on the boat with an
improved road connecting direct with the ferry
at Roosevelt it would be easy for the automobiles

GETTING MEN BACK TO WORK.

Perth Amboy has every reason to feel graft
fled over the news which the EVENING NEWS
published yesterday from its Washington cor
respondent, showing that, according TO otilcla'
reports. there is a decreasing number of unem-
pIoyed in this city and that Perth Amooy leadS
the state in getting men back to work.
The report showed that for the month of Feb
mary there were 2,245 less men out of work
mere than there were during January. No other
CITY in New Jersey had such a record as TINS
II certainly is most encouraging. As a matter
of fact. there are indications all along the line
that conditions are improving. While the copper
industry remains slow. due to the lack oil a lot
eign market brought about by the uhSettieu
state of affairs in Europe other lines are pi'N-
ing up gradually. 1t only remains for the con-
,.a..ors and tbe building trades to get together
md establish a workable basis more in con-
formitv with peace conditions to have a real
revival of business here.

"Tbis meeting" says Galbraith,' will stand
forth as the mighticst patriotic demonstration

Calbraith believes there is a German-insp'red
propaganda attempting to ALLEVIATE this country
from its allies in the late war, and to give Ger

We have become so accustomed to mass meet

his loved and lost Lenorc, and Ten

city and purchase intoxicating
drinks in any quantities they can
pay for and that they know where
to get it, what womaa is safe on
streets?
Why cannot these places be put
out of business before any other
tragedies of this kind happen? Why
do not the women of this city who
are voters demand that this be done
as a matter of protection? Hun
drcds of our women shudder in hor-
ror and are afraid to go out alone.
Hundreds of u men talk of lynch

the act, but why not go to the root
of the evil and close up these hot
beds of crime before more meet the
same fate?
The fact that the criminal was
captured so soon and made to con-

the fact that, in travelling. Il citi-
zens are ashamed to confess that
they come from Perth Amboy for
fear that they will be looked upon
as bo~otleggers or crooks is far from
being to our credit.
