CAN THE PEOPLE BE FOOLED AGAIN?

rrhe fortv million dollar bond issue to be used to feed the
Vement crowd, provided the people consent, has been
ssed by the legislature over the governors veto. For two
ars the Republican party has promised the voters that
ould the control Of the state be entrusted to their care they
build see that open specifications were provided for IN all
wing contracts thereby creating competition in the spend
= of the vast sums devoted to the improvement OF the nigh
avs.
The first year the promise was made the Republican
!gislature ignored the promise. When election time came
round again the promise was renewed. The people were
ven q song and dance about being unable to get the meas
re- through before, but this time, if the voters would only
kust the party once more, the open specifications would
49, be put across.
And all the time the patent pavement crowd were
.6ghing up their sleeves.
The second year had come and gone. Still no open
Notifications. Instead, we have an attempt to dump S4U,-
boo, 900 into the nav of the patent pavement trust.
What will be the excuse next year? There Will be an
Excuse. of course. The Republican party has now fooled the
for two years in succession. Can it get away with
a third time?
What yaps the voters sometimes are.
The thing to do is to defeat this forty-million bond is
sue regardless of how badly the improved highways are de-
sired: fling the proposition back into the teeth of the Repub-
SIC. 1000. 900 out of the taxpayers of New Jersey for high
wav improvement is to convince the people that it is not be-
ing put across for the benefit of the patent pavement trust
The way to convince the people that this $40, 00O,OOO is moi
intended for the patent pavement trust is to pass the open
Specifications bill first.
The people can't be fooled all the time.

JusTlFYINo THE SIDINoS.

Roth briefs that have been filed with the Public Utlhty
mission concerning the application of the Lehlsh Vaiiey
bad Company to lay four tracks across the foot OF wash
i street are eminently fair. The city attorney says the
are not a public necessity. This is true, but II 1t can
own that they will do the public no harm and, at the
time, be of great aid to the industry directly concerned
can be no real reason why the request should not be
ted. particularly if all the conditions imposed in the city
ney's brief are specified.
In his brief requesting that permissions be granted the
Dads attorney practically agrees to the terms as set
Here. then, is an understanding that ought to be
sfactory to everybody concerned.
But if four tracks across Washington street are not a
|1c necessity, one track is if the city's waterfront is to be
berly developed. This one track would be q part OF a
line through Front street that would serve all the in
lries in that vicinity and also eventually serve the public
: property. The progress of the city demands such a
TX. Development cannot go on if such fundamentals as
road sidings are to be refused.
Four tracks seem like an awful lot to ask, but If four
essential for the efficient operation Of one OF the city's
rest industries there is no justification in opposing the
|ng Of the four tracks merely for the sake of Directing.
ennents ought to show where the real injury will be and
advantages are to be derived by prohibiting the laying
"a racks.
But whether it be one track or five tracks, The crossing
street ought to be made. In no other way
this important Industrial district be properly developed.

REMOVE THE EXPLOSIVES.

Good news comes from Washington that the federal
authorities are going to take action regarding the danger at
Morgan. Such action has been promised before and there
IS not doubt that some good has already been accomplished,
but with the recent explosion there, bringing the situation
before the public once more, renewed efforts on the part OF
gCongressman Appleby and others have succeeded in getting
renewed assurances from the War Department that condi-
lions at Morgan will be greatly improved and that before very
long the ordnance depot will be abandoned entirely.
With this encouragement at Morgan additional efforts
ould be made regarding Raritan arsenal where vast quanti-
hes of high explosives are stored. No matter what safe

Vigilance Committee
Investigating Work
OF Stock Promoters

Following the recently announced
decision of the Grand Forks Com
mercial club to appoint a vigilance
committee to investigate various stock
promoting schemes with! IA view to
protecting local investors, announce
e is made that the National Ad-
vertising Clubs of the World, Of
which the local club is a member, is
conducting a similar investigation on
a nationwide scale.
A report from the Associated Ad-
vertising Clubs of the World states
that for years the national vigi-
lance committee has been accumulat-
ing extensive files on oil stock pro-
motors, placing it in a position o
to undertake a big. sweeping cleanup
campaign, with conditions affording
a strategic opportunity to force the
promoters into still further retreat.
Newspapers are on their guard
and it is increasingly difficult for
promoters to- secure insertion of their
copy
The intention of the local club is to
have all stock promoting schemes in
vestigated and recorded, this infor-
nation to be at the disposal Of its
members, it Is said.
