For the first time for many years
New Jersey has a representative on
the important Senate Committee on
Finance, in the person of Senator
Joseph s.. Frelinghuysen, who has
taken the place of the late Senator
Penrose, of Pennsylvania. This COM
mittee has full supervision of all rev.
enue legislation, including tax and
tariff bills. Senator Frelinghuysen
enters the committee at the psyche
logical moment when it begins it's final
task of reshaping the Fordney bill,
hearings upon which were closed a
few days ago. AS a member of this
committee Senator Frelinghuysen will
be in a position to protect the stupen-
dous industrial interests of New Jer-
sey and, incidentally, the working men
of the state as well. Judging by his
work on other important committees
he will ably guard the interests of his
constituents as a member of the FL
naGo2 Committee.
