S|LzER ON TAX,
EDWARDS, BOOZE
Judge Speaks in Bergen
County on Taxation Prob
lens of State.
EDWARDS AT NEWARK
Is Against Prohibition, He
Says, and Against Anti
Saloon League.
EDWARDS AT NEWARK

RUTHERFORD, Aug. 9:-Judge
Democratic nomination for COVER
nor, dwelt largely on the question
of tax rates in an address delivered
here last night. Calling attention to
the manner in which the tax rate
had risen in Bergen county, as well
as in the rest of the state, Silzer
suggested as an aid in remedying
the upward tendency an amend
ment to the budget act to make it
compulsory that the notice of the
hearing on the budget should show
in figures what rates of taxation will
be produced for local and county
purposes.
On the question of taxation Silzer
.aid in part:
Some time ago I was asked to
address a farmers tax chautauqua
at Holmdel, in Monmouth county,
my invitation to do so reading as
follows: Can you come and talk to
us on taxation. The backs of farm
ers are being broken with the bnr-
densome taxes and something must
be DONE
"Now, il the farmer is suffering
from high taxes, he is not alone ir
that respect. He has many fellow
sufferers among the commuters and
other business men. know that we
have reached period when all
thoughtful men everywhere are ask
ing how relief can be had.
"The highest tax paid in the state
in 1914 was 3.12; in 1922 it is three
times as high. or 1874, an enormous
increase in eight years, and most of
it since 1918. In Bergen county the
highest rate in 1914 was Fairview
Boro. 2.97; in 1921 the highest was
Lodi Township, 6.22.
And not only are taxes so much
higher, but they are being supple
mented by money raised by bonds,
so that We are going into debt head
over heels.
From state department figures
l learn that the funded and floating
debt of Bergen county in 1914 was
$3.5S9,000. In 1921 the funded debt
was $6,S91, ,S99.05, so that BERGEN
has doubled its funded debt in seven
years, and gone further into debt
about S3,300,000.
THE end of the path we are tread
ing is forcefully put by one writer
who says: BY and bye many of cur
QotIiOu pCOPiC wiz ooP
rcsed they owned their homes will
find that they have nothing but a
parer title and are really paying
rent under the name of taxation.
I'VE must stop spending, stop go
ing into debt. stop mortgaging the
future. There should also be law
either limiting the tax rate, possibly
taking 1922 as a standard. or a law
limiting appropriations each year in
proportion to ratables, with due
provision for emergencies. There
should also be an amendment to ,he
budget act of 1917, which will make
il compulsory to inform the tax
payer as to the effect on the tax
rate if a proposed budget is adopted
''It is useless to protest against cx-
penditures after they have beer
made. 1t is useless to question
tax rate after the assessments have
been made and the appropriations
adopted"

place at the meeting of the Board OF
Health in the City Hall last night.
At present the code requires that
milk be kept below temperature OF
fifty degrees, but there is no men
tion made of icing the cases. Last
nights discussion concerned the ad-
visibility of altering, the code in
such a way as to make icing COM
pulsory. The members of the board
went into the question thoroughly
but took no definite action last night
Another topic that came up for
consideration was started by a COM
munication read by Health Officer
Charles Thompson, quoting prices
by the Standard Cap and Seal Com
pany on a new style of bottle top,
the adoption of which is being con-
templated by the health board.
The bottle top covers a large por-
ton of the neck as well as the top
and is deemed by the board as
more sanitary device. 1t is ordl-
narily employed to supplement ihe
