cost of living, the reduction Of tax

one of the most expensive cities in
Europe. One of the causes is the
tremendous national budget, which
is swollen by heavy military ex-

Compared with Vienna an5 Buda-

American traveller meets in Vienna.

ERIE MUST BUILD new
STATION BY MARCH IS

TRENTON, Aug. 24:-The Erie
Railroad Company must commence
work no later than March Is, next,
on the building of a more adequate
railroad station at Passaic Park
under the terms of an order made
by the Board of Public Utility Com
m~issioners today. The board also
directs the company to submit plans
for the improvements for their APP
prevail not later than February /,
1923.
The matter came before the board
for action on complaint of The city
commenced July IS. 1917, and at
that time an order was made direct
ing the company to provide addi-
tional stational facilities at Passaic
Park but due to the curbing of con-
struction during the war period an
indefinite postponement vas grant,
ed. The cost of the improvements
is estimated at $4,000.
Due consideration being given to
the statement relative to the COM
pany's financial condition." says the
board in its findings. there would
appear to be nc reasonable grounds
for further postponement. The
amount of business at the Passaic
Park station is such as to warrant
adequate accommodations being
provided without undue delay. and
as the necessity of the situation re-
quires that a definite date be fixed
at which time building operations
will be commenced, the board would
not feel justified in further post
ponement beyond March Is, 1928"
According to the report of the
board the Erie Railroad Company
was operating at a monthly deficit
Of $4,000 during the period of the
war and so could not cry well be
expected to make certain improve
ments desired. However. conditions
have changed, and thus today's

paigning of a man who is afraid to
discuss his record and the live is
sues of the day. Up to September
26 the issue before the voters is
not whether the Republican party
ought to prevail over the Democratic
party, but who shall be the candi-
selected by the party voters to
oppose Governor Edwards during
the subsequent campaign. The Re-
publican party voters also must de-
termine as an incident to this choice,
what are to be the issues upon which
the campaign against the Democrats
is to be waged subsequent to pri-
mary day.
These are the questions before
the house so far as the primary
is concerned and Mr.. FIRE.
linghuysen entirely ignores these is
which are the only proper sub
ject for discussion in the primary
campaign.
From a personal and selfish
standpoint 1 am delighted that the
senator elects to pursue this Lian
of campaign. So far as | a learn
1t is fooling nobody and is winning
thousands of votes because of
refusal to discuss his record in
congress.
Il am nightly in my tent citing
the several different votes by which
he, in company with the other Old
senator's, are exempting h
great trusts and the very rich peo-
pie from hundreds of millions Of
taxation, and imposing this burden
upon poorer people.
beginning Monday night of next
week Mr.. Amos Pinchot. brother of
Clifford Pinchot, who was R~oosevelt's
confidential friend and who has lust
been selected as the Republican can
iidate for governor of Pennsylvania,
will appear in Essex county at one
Of my tent meetings with a search
ing analysis of Mr.. Frelinghuysen's
record upon the tax question aid
other questions, showing his uni
association with the Old Guard
leaders, such as Penrose, Smoot, Nell
son, Lodge and Watson and against
the votes of such progressive Re-
as johnson, Borah, Norris
and LaFollette.
II venture the prediction that
Frelinghuysen will be either
driven into a defense of his record
l have exposed it. and as MIR.
.inchot will describe it next week,
Or he will be virtually driven out of
campaign. The party voters
.ife who refuses to defend his pub
lie record. Their instinct in this
is sound. Such a refusal is
to q confession that this
record cannot be publicly defended"

OFFICER
WAS DRUNK
Carney is 0usted as Assistant
Marshal by MataWan Bor-
ough Council

MATAWAN, Aug. 24:-The GUST
ing of the assistant marshal and the
discussion of the erection of a new
standpipe to improve the water
pressure of the borough as well as
give greater storage space for water,
were the principal matters acted
upon at the meeting of the borough
council at its regular meeting on
Tuesday night.
Complaint was received that on
last Saturday night Assistant Mar
shall William b. Carney was intoxi-
Gated and while in this condition in
an argument with a colored man by
the name of Magee, knocked the
colored man cold" In front of the
residence of William l.. Van Brunt
in Broad street, and thai Carney,s
mother, sister and brother, who live
nearby, came from their home and
begged him to come home and leave
Magee alone. 1t is claimed that the
two men got off the trolley together
and that Magee vas all drunk while
Carney was figh g drunk.
In view of the complaints at the
meeting and the fact that Carney is
alleged to have recently been arrest
ed in Keyport for disorderly conduct
he was ousted as assistant marshal
of the borough and it was the opin-
ion of the councilmen that effort be
made to have his commission as
constable rescinded.
The question of low water pres
sure was seriously discussed, and It
was decided that the most advisable
way to improve the pressure would
be to erect a new standpipe. The
present pipe has a diameter of but
twelve feet. The councilmen and
Superintendent l. Il. Rue were of
the opinion that it would be consid-
erably cheaper to erect a new stand
pipe than it would be to employ a
night engineer at the water works
pumping station. The water COM
mittee was instructed to-ascertain
the cost of a new s%tandpipe which
will give the borough the amount
of surplus water required for COM
mercial and fire service, and to re-
port as soon as possible. Efforts
will also be made to make the water
department self-sustaining.
Donald Hagger. superintendent of
the Mosaic Tile Company, was pres
ent and requested that the company
be permitted to connect a six-inch
main to the borough main in order
to fill a $4,000 gallon tank for fire
purposes. The tank will supply
water for an extensive sprinkler
system in the factory. The council
granted the necessary permission.
Superintendent Rue of the water
works informed the council that
within the next few days a four-inch
main in Atlantic avenue will be con-
nected up with the residence. thus
doing away with a two-inch main

EXPECT RUSSIA TO SHOW
ECONOMIC PROSPERITY

MOSCOW, Aug. 24.-Soviet Rus
sian leaders are advancing reasons
easily Understandable within Russia
but probably difficult of comprehen-
sion abroad, as to why they believe
Russia, after the coming harvest,
can get along and show economic
Improvement without the aid OF Tor
eign governments.
They make no secret that indus
trially the country can show very
little life without huge credits, Dut
they say that Russia is primarily an
agricultural country. and hat the
requirements of the Russian peasant
are probably smaller than those OF
any other people except the Chinese
or Hindus. The peasants comprise
at least 70 per cent. of the countrys
population.
An American, accustomed to the
standard of living in the United
States, might consider it a terrible
condition were someone to tell MIN
that so, 900, 900 Russians never had
shoes and probably would not know
what to do with them if they did.
The peasants go barefoot in summer,
use homemade in the winter.
1t Is similar with most articles
of wear and household use when
American civilization considers es-
sential to comfort. If the Russian
peasant has plenty to eat-and above
all other things he prefers black
bread-and if he has a Few rags to
cover him and a hut to shelter him,
he Is as we'll off as he was before
the war.
1t was only in late years under
the monarchy that the. growth OF
manufacturing within Russia was
seriously encouraged. The Soviet
regime, whose supporters were NEST
ly among the factory workers In the
cities. has desired to increase IN
dustry probably even more than the
old regime, but, due to civil war n
destruction, industry is now IN a
worse state than ever before. II
foreign capital comes in to any great
extent the government expects to
| recreate industry, but lacking this,
it considers that Russia can ger
| along as an agricultural country
until such time aa either from WITHIN
| itself, or with foreign assistance, IL
can become an industrial country
