WOULD PAY FUNERAL
BILL BUT IS ILLEGAL

TRENTON, March 22-The State
Highway Commission was yesterday
forced to turn down an application
for payment of the funeral expenses
of Raymond l.. Palmer, Elizabeth
boy, killed over a year ago by n
state highway truck. The attorney
general had ruled that under the law
as it now stands. funds of the de-
partment canno be expended for
this purpose. There have bee sew
eral similar cases before the high
way commission. The boys father,
it is understood, is a workingman
and could i'll afford the $500 which
his sons funeral cost.
Discussing the highway commits
sion's inability to expend money for
such purposes, State Highway Engi-
neer Thomas ]. Wasser mentioned
the fact that Atlantic County Assem-
blyman Blair has in the past tried
to get the legislature to pass a bill
authorizing such payments, but the
lawmakers turned the bill down. The
idea seemed to be that a bad prece-
dent would thus be established.
Refusal to pass such legislation
recalls with some force Chapter 100
of the laws of 1921, passed by the
legislature of that year without
much fear of precedent" and, in
fact, amid much jest and horse-play.
The highway commission has TAX
en- over the road leading from
Route No. 2 to the Palmyra-Tacony
Ferry, in Burlington county. This
was authorized by the 1922 legisla-
ture, and means that the state will
maintain. the road from nov on.
New construction is not planned at
present.
Plans, specifications and adver-
tisements for a section of road from
Camden City line to Clements Bridge
road have been approved, and SINH
lar action was taken on Section 5 of
Union avenue, Bound Brook. Both
roads are to be of reinforced con-
crete.

what detracted from. is the fact that
none of this years litter of calves

 Cannot Understand.
 We are at loss to understand d why the representatives with their earnestness to push through the labor emergency bill. imputed upon the Japanese in Hawaii such charges as that they are ambitious to assume the economic monopoly or to gain the political control of the territory" the statement said. Any one who is familiar with the actual situation will say that those charges are largely fantastic fears without reasona ble foundations.
 We also wish to take exception to fhe statement that the Japanese in Hawaii can not be assimilated. Many facts show how the Japanese in Hawaii are making efforts toward the Americanization of their people with the cooperation of American friends. The Japanese language school bill was recommended by the Japanese themselves and aimed at the CO., opration of Japanese citizens with the Americans to educate the American youths of Japanese ancestry, in &C., cordance with American ideals.
 Especially are the Americans of Japanese ancestry gradually but solid ly bearing the fruits of Americaniza- ton. A large number of them are already quite familiar with the Am erican way of living. They really take pride in being loyal citizens of
