AUTO OWNERS NOT FOOLED

Not every automobile association is being frightened
into favoring the $40, 900, 900 bond issue on the ground
that without this money the improvement Of the state high
ways will cease The Morris County Automobile Club, at a
dinner recently, had a general discussion of the proposition
and wound up by going on record as being opposed to the
proposition.
The chief objections to the bond issue brought out dur
ing the discussion were that the state already has S7,00O,-
600 annually to spend for roads which should be sufficient,
that the $4,000 900 road bond plan has been so actively
supported by the patent paving interests that it appears too
much like a 100000, 900 road grab and that $50, 000,-
900 of the money will be wasted so far as the taxpayers of
the state are concerned.
Surely, automobile associations cannot be accused Of
being opposed to good roads. The man who drives a car is
as anxious as anyone to have improved highways. He is not
SO crazy for road improvement, however, that he is willing
to submit to all kinds of extravagances in order to get them.
The automobile owner is also a taxpayer and with taxes
where they are today he is anxious to see every dollar count.
Furthermore the average automobile owner is so anxious
for improved roads that he wants the money now being paid
to the patent paving crowd used for still more good roads.
He knows that if patent pavements were eliminated there
would be more miles of good roads than there are today;
he also knows that the $40, 000,0 600 which it is proposed to
raise through a bond issue, would go a great deal farther in
the development of a state highway system if patent pave
ments were rejected or made to compete with non-patented
material.

EDWARDS BUBBLES AGAIN

Governor Edwards did not get very far in his effort to
declare himself on the soldiers bonus when he was speaking
in Middlesex county Thursday. The request of the Even
ing News that he declare himself did not escape him, ac-
cording to the staff correspondent of the Newark Evening
News who sent to his paper the following account of the
Democratic meeting in this city:
"a Perth Amboy newspaper editorially said yesterday
that the governor should be made to take a stand and local
leaders told the governor that he should be prepared for
men in the crowds before him who might ask him to state
his views on the subject.
HE did not intend that they should get to him before
he had something to say, so he injected into the first part
of his address, as soon as he hit Perth Amboy, the following
" This Republican administration is willing to mulct
the people of the United States of 81, 900, 900, 900 or So
600, 600, 900 by a tariff and still it is not willing to pay de-
cent compensation to our soldiers
"He went no deeper into the subject. His view is that
before he commits himself he wants to know the nature of
any bonus plan that is introduced in the senate"
Governor Edwards is president of a bank in Jersey City.
He is thus closely identified with the big financial interests
and it is well known thai the men posted on the finances of
the country are opposed to any bonus at this time. If the
ex-soldiers think they are beneftting themselves by voting
for Edwards for United States senator they are sadly mis-
taken. AT the same time, the voters generally will appreci-
ate the open and fearless attitude of Senator Frelinghuysen
as to his position on the various questions compared with
the non-committal and evasve attitude of his Democratic
opponent.

ROOSEVELT DAY ON FRIDAY

An effort is being made to have Friday observed as
Navy Day throughout the country. There is no honor too
great for the United States navy. Its record is written in
delibly upon the pages of history. Its glory cannot be dim
med. IL hardly seems necessary to have one day set apart
for the honor of the navy. AS one governor put it, every
day should be Navy Day. But if anything is to be added to
the prestige of the navy by having a special day in its honor.
there can be no objection on the part of the people.
There is, however, something to be said about picking
out October p as the day to be set apart for honoring the
navy. That date is the birthday of Theodore Roosevelt, one
of the greatest Americans that ever lived. Roosevelt, it is
true, was one of the greatest friends the navy ever had. Ii
was Roosevelt who sent the American fleet around the
world, adding greatly to its prestige. He never lost an op-
portunity to boost the navy in every particular. But as much
as he thought of the navy, the honor of the latter should
never be permitted to dim the memory of the great man
who did SO much 10 advance it.
1t is particularly pleasing, therefore, to read Mayor
Wilson's proclamation calling upon the city to observe
Roosevelt Day on Friday. Let us honor the navy, too, if it'll
is so desired, but the day is the birthday of Theodore Roose-
welt and it ought not TO lose its Identification. Mayor Wilson
has done well to impress this fact upon the people of this
city. Let us honor Roosevelt, then, on Friday and, at theI
same time, there is no harm in boosting the navy in every
way possible. No doubt it would be Roosevelts wish to
have it so.

WITHIN THE LAW

Congressman Frear fears that some of the recent big
stock dividends may be tax-dodging schemes. He writes Sec
rotary Mellon regarding section 20 of the 1921 revenue act,
(which provides methods for reaching holders of surplus held
for the purpose of escaping taxation"
If Frear follows up his clew, he'll find that the MAJOR
financial crimes these days are staged in some bookkeeping
departments-though being within the law, they are not tech
nicaly crimes.
Bookkeeping has become one of the fine arts. For in
stance, a certain rich man took 100000 and bought LOU
shares of stock at their par value of 800 each. This hap
pened in 1919.
During one Of the 1921 stock market slumps, the value OF
this stock dropped to $40 a share. So the rich man sold his
holdings, losing $50 a share, or a total of 100000.
He "wrote off, this 100000 as a loss in making out his
income tax return. This enabled him to dodge paying IN
come tax on 100000 of his 1921 income.
The Gloss however, was all on paper, for he no sooner
sold the stock than he bought it back at the same price. To
keep within the law, he could not buy back until 80 days
after the sale, SO he bought in his wifes name, the stock to
be transferred to him later. Thus he was out OF pocket moth
ing except a small commission to the broker.
This re-bought stock is on his books at $4,000. Later, II
he sells it for 100000, he III realize a profit OF $60,0OO ana nave
to pay income tax on it. But he doesn't intend to sell When
he does, the income tax rate probably will be much lower than
now.
Can you beat it? You cannot. Neither can Uncle Sam.
The high art of tax lodging, OF which the above is a
sample, is possible because, as lawyers say, every law mas
it's loophole.' The loophole is there because lawyers make
the laws.
More fundamental, as a cause, is the American court sys-
tenn of haggling over technicalites instead OF interpreting a
law at it's plain and intended meaning.
In the British empire, the meaning and intent OF the law
comes first. Haggling over techniealties such as errors IN
punctuation does not carry much weight. That's why brlt,
ish Justice is so swift and terrible that London hobbies
don't have to carry pistols.

LADIES, YOUR EARS, PLEASE,
STYLE THIS WINTER
Daily Letter by Frederic }. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Ears
are to be featured this winter, ac-
cording TO the best fashion prophets.
This pronouncement may mean
very little to the masculine element
of u population who will continue
to wear ears as usual regardless of
fashion. But feminine America IS
supposed to be somewhat agOg over
the prospect of ears.
Just as there were knees and knees
so 1t is to be supposed there are ears
and ears. Women who have ears
of the dainty. shell like variety are
joyful over a chance to reveal them.
On the other hand those whose un-
calmly ears have been fine only to
pad out ear puffs are wondering
whether defiance of the new fashion
will arouse the voice of gossip. The
damsel who chung to ankle length
skirts when knees were in style was
set down as probably 'bowlegged.
When ears come into full swing the
m who refuses to show hers

it rumored that she has ears like

nine ear has been chiefly a matter

is that the fashion followers of the
country will not let Irene's ears be
lonesome very long.
Meanwhile earrings are being worn
in all circles. and the tip of the ear
Is thus brought into the spotlight.
Everything from platinum and dia-
monds to Chinese currency is being
worn as an ear decoration.
Earrings are one of the fashions
that come and go in cycles, their
popularity depending partly on style
of hairdressing and partly on chance.
