HACKENSACK, April 13.-Some
radical changes in party organiza-

! State Committee Chairman L. c.
Stokes here last night at a meeting
of the Bergen County Republican
Committee, attended by Senate Pres
ident Mackay, of that county. The
former governor, although lot COM

his views at a later date. asks for
a representative convention. not to
nominate candidates, or in any way
to endorse candidates, but for the
sole purpose of making a platform"
The Republican chairman declares
that the party platform, or party

voters of the party. and not by the
candidates. Today u platforms are

"a number of candidates, eager to

Quoting from n Tacitus, of an
cient fame, the former governor fig
ures that there is little chance of a
democracy, as opposed to a repre-

times. He says Thai Tacitus tells
of the democracies in the German
forests, long ago, when each citizen
had the right to attend the legis-
lature and debate and vote therein.
'Tacitus says, however, according
to Mr.. Stokes. that in those assem-
blies, nobody was allowed to dis
cuss a question unless he was drunk,
and then was not allowed to vote
until he was sober, under the theory
that he told the truth when intoxi-

WOULD AMEND
RESERVE ACT
Congressman Appleby Acts
for Banks to Share in Fed
eraI Reserve Earnings

WASHINGTON. April 13.-The
operation of the federal reserve bank
has received considerable attention
during the present session OF con-
gress by the committee on banking
and currency Of the House of Repre-
sentatives in an endeavor to further
strengthen the relation it maintains
with its member banks.
1t was felt by some of the commit
tee tina inasmuch rs the greater the
number of member banks the more
successful would be the operation of
the reserve bank, something should
also be done to induce state banks
and trust companies to become
members. As member banks must
clear through their federal reserve
bank and are denied clearance
through the various national banks.
there is not now the proper induce
ment for them to maintain their 10
per cent. with the reserve bank.
when they could place the money
with national banks in various cities
and receive interest oil such funds.
To become a member of the federal
reserve system. it is compulsory for
member banks to maintain approxi-
mately 10 per cent. of their deposits

to That Effect

TRENTON. April 13.-In order to

Col. schwarzkopf states that the
approach of the spring time n

cry. II is the purpose of the police
organization to reduce this crime TO
its minimum. Troop commanders
have been instructed to direct their
men to cooperate with the various
organizations in the rural districts
toward the accomplishment of their
efforts.
1t is pointed out in the bulletin
to the men that the theft of any per-
sonal goods is made a misdemeanor

man convicted is liable to a penalty
of a sentence of no more than three
years and $1,000 fine. For the sec

The theft of "the whole or any
art of any tree, sapling. shrub or
underwood, or any plant. root,
fruit or vegetable production, wheI-
ever the same may be growing" is
also placed in this class of crimes.
1t is the plan of the state police
man to closely watch the activities
of thieves in the rural sections. and
it is promised that men convicted
will be soaked" to the very limit
as provided by law.
1t is understood that during n

sudden stop. The orders, as issued
by the constabulary head, have been
approved by Attorney General
