BACHARACH PROTESTS ON
TAXATION MEASURE
By GEORGE q. N

BY GEORGE Fl. MANNING
(Wsshington Correspondent of the
Perth Amboy Evening News.)
WARRINGTON, Dec. 22.-Repre-
sentative Isaac Bacharach of Allan
tic City made a speech In the House
Of Representatives today in oppost-
tion to the joint resolution now
pending providing an amendment to
the constitution to empower the Fed
eral governmet to tax icome from
state. county and municipal bonds.
The adoption of this was
advocated by President Harding IN
his special message to congress re-
Gently. There is, however, no con-
certed support of it by the Republic
cans The theory is that the pro-
very rich men who hold non-taxable
Will reach and tax the holdings Of
securities.
It is held by the opponents OF the
amendment, on the contrary. that
the securities in such hands would
merely be snapped around in such
name that evasions would con-
tinue. while states, counties and
municipalities issuing bonds for i'm
p-ovements would be embarrassed
and possibly estopped from borrow
ing for needed projects. Also it was
argued that the small investors in
tax-exempt bonds, who are satisfied
with low rates OF interest combined
with g. high degree OF safety will
have their small earning invaded.

desire for easy divorce. This is the
best proof Of the need Of reform in
marriage. There are no satisfied
married people trying to get apart.
TT Is a supreme in7pertinence
that the law, either social or judi
cial, should presume to interfere
in the intimate relations Of men
and women"
Here are conditions which accord
ing to Mrs. Hensley. will tend to
become general during the next so
years:
MARRIAGE-The marriage con-
tract will be purely a business con-
tract for the protection of children.
There will be nothing in it to compel
a mar and woman to live together
WOMAN-The woman will main
tain her independence and live her
own life. Motherhood will be PEN
stoned. Society will remove the
obloquy from the unmarried
mother.
CHILDREN-Children will live
with their mother rather than be
placed in institutions. But where
the mother is either incompetent or
unable to care for them they will be
placed in "home groups" looked at
ter by women of maternal in
stincts.

ture Opposed by DR.. Belloff
at Freebooter Meeting

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. 22.-A
marked difference of opinion among
the members OF the Board of Free
holders was expressed yesterday aft
ernoon as to the results obtaine'
from the expenditures made eacf
year in carrying on the mosquito ex'
termination work in this county
Freeholder Louis j. Belloff strenu'
, ously opposing the expenditure while
Freebooter Robert R. Vandenbergh
! maintained that the results obtained
justified the expenditure each year.
DR.. T. ]. Headlee, state etymolo-
gist and chairman OF the Middlesex
county mosquito determination
commission, caused the discussion on
the subject, when he addressed the
freeholders requesting that the $780,
600 appropriation asked for by the
commission to carry to completion
the 1928 drainage program, be pro-
vided for in the budget.
The chairman of the COMMITTEES
went into details as to the satisfac-
tory results obtained in draining the
marsh land OF the county during the
past two years and predicted that
with the appropriation asked for the
balance of the salt marshes In the
county could be drained during the
next year. completely Kidding the To-
cality Of the marsh land pests, after
which the attention of the commits
sion will be directed towards the
elimination Of the fresh water nos
Quitoes.
With the completion of the drain
ing of the $4,000 acres Of marsh
land which can be accomplished
with the cutting OF 22S,000 feet more

pose Of the commission to put the

marks said: II hope you gentlemen !
provide the amount we have asked
for, as you will perform a public

Freebooter Belloff at the close of
he chairman's remarks, stated that

more. OF the five pairs turned loose
on the preserve the year before, one
pair Matched near our camp, but owing
to the ten days Of continued wet,
many drowned in the grass and only
four got by; but the second brood
contained fifteen or more. One pair
located near the west bridge, one pair
neal the bridge at Hurd's, and one
pair near the LEM bridge. Some
pheasants have been seen across the
river from the stockyards, which
might account for the fifth pair, but
also might be the LEM bridge covey.
In the latter contingency, it would
leave the fifth pair u%naccounted for.
On Buggy Creek Mrs. Burke turned
loose thirteen pheasants. That is a
good country for them and those
bachelors l have seen have promised
protection. I would not care to brand

A REPORT ON THOSE PHEASANTS
BY w. w. Mabee

A few days ago, the sleigh, just
after leaving the plant in my place,
passed fifteen p~heasants, all hens.
Three cocks go into the big barn every
time the slide doors open a bit. There
are some feeding at a wheat stack
which I had put up loose for them
more than a mile above the plant.
Three-quarters of a mile above this
again, are some grain stacks on Henry
Johnson's place, which he is feeding
out to a bunch of steers. Here some
more birds are feeding, at least nine
have been seen, so there are likely
many more. Up at the lower end of
my place, two and a hilf miles from
town, in fact, are two more stacks of
loose grain, but apparently no birds
are feeding there: an indication that
they are nearly all in about the mid
die of the preserve. where they are
safer than they would be nearer town.
As near as I can figure the least num-
Der of pheasants in the preserve would
