BONDS AND THE TAX RATE

The county budget for next year as published yesterday
snakes an interesting study. The freeholders no doubt have done
nsir best under the circumstances, but even their best means an
increase of $4,000 over last year. This added to an increase
Of nearly $4SI 900 in the city budget means a jump OF ABOUT
x1o6 900 that directly concerns the people of Perth Amboy.
Analysing the county budget we find a couple of items that
sueht to be pointed out to the taxpayers because they represent
something that the average citizen is apt to overlook. These
Items are 175,0OO appropriated for paying of county oonos
falling due during the year, $4,000 appropriated to pay the
interest ON the bonded debt. These are by far the largest items
n the budget for next year.
So often the people think that they are lodging the cost OF an
Improvement by resortng to a bond issue. These bonds do NOT
ban due for twenty or thirty years; that seems like q long Time
md the people think they can forget it. But the remainder OF the
bond issue comes along every year when the budget is being made
m. It is foolish to think that we can get somthmg Tor nothing.
These bonds have got to be provided for each year and the more
.h.rs .e the greater has got to be the provision. Furthermore,
n. interest has got to be paid, and this amount is increasing each
year.
Take the city budget and it will be found that more tnan
k.lf +be items under the head of appropriation" are for bonds
rha nterest m the bonded debt alone is fixed at $1l5,93o.4o. Tnls

Weight, of course, varies with age. The youth who grows

growth although he threatens to eat his father out OF mouse

At 80 most of us have blossomed fully into maturity OF
height and weight. Hence the above table shows ideal weights
at 30. A person progressing through middle-age will remain
about the same weight as at 80 if he or she keeps IN good
physical trim. Bay windows and other additions to our
architecture betray physical neglect.
Few of us can resist stepping on a pair of scales whenever
we pass one, especially if there's a free sign. And, un
less we are understood, most Of us are highly pleased II we
have taken on a pound or so. We reason that, II we arent
losing flesh, things must be all right with us.

KEEPING CONGRESS BUSY
TOLD OF BY HASKIN
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

, law-making body, also have their
own ideas about how Uncle Sans
business should be run, and they
| rarely agree with cabinet bers
| and infrequently among themselves.
An influential senator or ~represcn-
tative might block a reform such
| as advocated by Mr.. Hoover merely
because he thought h reorganiza-
ton should be effected under an
other department or because he did
| not believe in increasing the num3e
of assistant secretaries OF any de-
partment.
Accordingly Washington observers
| know full well that whereas the sec
| rotary of commerce may have start
ed something it will be many long
moons before it is finished. 1t takes
bulldog tenacity of purpose and in
finite patience, to say nothing of dip
lomacy and responsiveness OF high
order, to carry through such a pro-
| posal, and these desiderata are rare
/ Iy assembled in the person of n
man.
But if congress does not take kind
ly to this suggestion from Secretary
| Hoover he has given them many
others to consider such as:
The establishment of foreign trade
zones in the ports of the United
States as a substitute for the pres
ent system of bonded warehouses,
to be undertaken as q contribution
| to the American merchant marine
in increasing the volume OF trade
carried in American ships.
Radical reduction of the fees now
| charged for passports and viSes and
revision of the formalities required
g - 49, w-fntto-
tory measures abroad which row
handicap our merchants and travel
ing statesmen.
Exemption from federal taxes of
Americans living abroad who ire en-
gagged in the extension Of American
commerce.
Legislation for the regulation Of
safety requirements in commercial
aviation, and the extension OF the
regulatory powers of the CONNER
ciaI Department for the control Of
radio.
Relief to the farmer by r~eadjust-
ments of railway rates in such a way
as to impose larger burdens upon
high priced commodities and lower
rates on primary produce. by pro-
viding adequate transportation facii-
tiles, and by creating an adequate
credit system to meet the farmers
need of loans for longer periods and
at commercial rates.
Revision of railway legislation to
prevent the strangulation of indus
try and commerce through a short
age of transportation.
Sterilization of the bituminous
coal industry which would eliminate
at least one-third of the national
coal bill. Unless there is economy
in labor through less lost time, Mr..
Hoover contends, the ranks Of the
miners will be difficult to fill, while
the very real human suffering Incl
dent to part-time' employment and
strikes presents a national problem
of the most serious nature.
Liberalization of the laws with re-
spect to trade associations.
Increased salaries for experts and
specialists in the Department of
Commerce.
From all this it will be seen that
If congress ever finds time hanging
heavy on it's hands it has only to
take up Secretary Hoover's report
Ito find plenty to do, and as has been
pointed out, the head of the Depart
ment of Commerce is only nj Of the
ten members OF President Hardfng's
official family.

The people slept soundly and without alarm.
II is a good thing that the shells and explosives have been SO
eomnletely removed from the Morgan plant. Time was, not so
arr long ago, when there was still a large quantity of explosives
there. Thanks to the agitation on the part OF the people and the
activity Of Senator Frelnghuysen, the government has shipped
most Of it away. The plant il about ready to be abandoned.

Edge, republican, New Jersey,
submitted to the senate today a
petition which he said carried the
names of ten thousand citizens of
his state, asking for modification
of the Volstead act to permit the
sale of light wines and beer.
The physical proportions of the
petition moved Senator Norris, re-
publican, Nebraska, to ask hum
oIously whether 1t might not be
wise for the senate to appoint a
temperance committee to exam
inc the package because, the Ne
braska senator suggested, "some-
thing illegal could easily be con-
cealed in it."

HOUSE TO
GET BONUS
BILL TODAY
Adjusted Compensa-
tion Measure 10 BE
Introduced Late This
Afternoon

Washington, March 6.-The
soldiers bonus bill will be intro
duced in the house late today and
formally reported tomorrow,
Chairman Fordney announced this
noon after an executive session of
the majority members of the ways
and means committee. A second
session will be held later in the
day for final completion Of details
Of the measure.
Chairman Fordney said the ma
jority then would pass on the sug-
gested provision for adjusted serv-
ice pay to the immediate relatives
Of men who have died since dis
charge from the service, or might
die before the legislation came In
to force.
Democrats on the ways and
means committee will be called in
tomorrow morning to vote on this
bill before Mr., Fordney presents
the report to the house. Mean
time the chairman probably. will
discuss the new bonus plan with
President Harding. He said he
had engagement with the presi-
dent for late today to take up an
other matter and that he might
present to the executive the details
of the bonus bill.
Representative Fordney said the
committee had had reason to be-
lieve that President Harding was
not opposed to the certificate loan
provision written into the bill un-
der which national and state
banks and trust companies, organ
lied under state laws, would
be organized to loan holders of
such certificates an amount equal
to 80 per cent Of adjusted serv-
ice pay. Other members of the
committee said little or no pro-
test against this plan had come to
them from bankers and others.
1t was estimated that the total
amount Of money that the bank
would be asked to advance prob
ably would not exceed $500,000,-
900. Representative Mott, a
banker Of Oswego, N. Y, said he
did not anticipate any material
initiation Of credit and consequent
increase in the cost Of living to
result from the passage Of the bill
carrying bank loan provision.
Mr.. Mott said he did not think
service men would have any
trouble in obtaining loans on the
certificates, asserting that the
now estimated maximum Of $780,
100000 easily could be advanced
by the 10000 banks over the
country at which the certificates
would be negotiable.
