DEMANDS LIBERAL
PROGRAM IN CONGRESS

| ence upon 1t is Interpreted to indi-
cate a firmer decision to fight for the
things he believes essential to the
public welfare, than was previously
recognized
Whether the President will be able
to induce the Senate to pass the sub
sidy bill is problematic. The Senate
does not want to pass it. in which re-
spect dominant sentiment in that body
nicely synchronizes with popular judg-
ment. There is certain to be row
of no mean proportions If the Presi-
dent persists in his demand for the
enactment of the measure. The op-
position is potentially strong, enough
to delay action on it for an indefinite
period and ethereby defeat the annbi-
ton of the President to obviate the
necessity of an extra session of Con-
gress for which the insurgent and
radical groups are plotting.
The elimination OF the ship subsidy
bill would permit the President to de-
| mand with reasonable justification the
enactment without delay of the ap-
preparation bills and one or two prof.
ects for the relief of agricultural con-
ditions during the remaining three
months of the present Congress- Many
leaders of Mr.. Harding's party have
urged him to abandon the subsidy bill.
They have supported their requests
with the argument that both the coun-
try and the party would profit from a
Congressional holiday between March
and December, and that he personally
would be the chief beneficiary OF 1t.
The President may succeed in fore
ing his shipping bill through, but>it is
quite obvious to even his most ardent
supporters that he cannot hope to do
SO without damage to his other plans.
other Point of Issue.
The other point of issue between the
President and Congress revolves
around the one commendable sugges-
ton made by the La Toilette confer
ence. This was that the Constitution
should be amended to move the con-
vening of a new Congress from De-
cember back to January or within two
months of a general election instead
of delaying 1t for thirteen months as
at present. The suggested reform is
generally approved by leading news
papers and in fact by some Of Mr..
Harding's most earnest supporters in
Congress.

Presidents intimation that national

Piles of the four Power Pacific treaty
to the Atlantic will be bitterly con-
tested by the death battalion group
in the Senate who opposed the League
of Nations and the Pacific treaty
The President, Secretary Hughes
Secretary Hoover and, it is believed
all of his other Cabinet advisers are
said to hold the opinion that such a
treaty would not indicate any de-
parture from the present policy Of the
Government IN dealing with interna-
tional events or ~ indorsing the prin-
ciple of the League of Nations.
The ready acceptance by the coun-
try of the Pacific treaty is said to
have convinced the President and his
advisers that the application of it to
the region of the Atlantic will result
in even greater benefits in stabilizing
precarious European conditions than
was true in the first instance. At any
rate both Republican and Democratic
leaders believe that the President at
the next session of Congress will pro-
pose treaty which they believe will
do more to eliminate the anxieties
provoked by, the French peoples fear
of future German aggressions.
While no canvass has yet been made
of the Senate on the tentative plan
outliRd by the President for extending
the terms Of the Pacific treaty to the
AtlanticA Republican leaders are con-
fident Of its acceptance with even less
opposition than was developed over
the discussion of the armament trea-
ties. However, there Is little prospect
of Mr.. Harding's suggestion in this
respect crystalizing into definite action
during the remaining days Of the pres
ent Congress. --..

PREACHER CRANBERRY GR0WEH
DEAD AT WOODBURY.

Business success was achieved by
the Rev. Edward H. Durell, q years
old. whose funeral was held at Wood
bury recently. at an age when most
men are quite ready and willing 10 re-
tire. and the story Of his career is
one Of the romances Of the develop
ment Of the cranberry industry in New
Jersey.
After serving as pastor Of nineteen
Methodist charges, mostly in South
Jersey. covering q period OF about IS
years, the Rev. Mr.. Durell retired from
the ministry al the age of IS years.
He had reared a family Of seven chill
dren and the savings of his lifetime
then amounted TO a bare $4,000. His
last charge was al Union. in 1889, and
after leaving the pulpit he invested
part OF his small savings in some
cheap marsh land at Head Of the
River. in Cape May County. Farmers
who titled the sandy soil in that sec
ton shook their heads and pitied the
poor minister who they considered
had sunk his money in worthless land.
as il could not be cultivated for the
growing Of ordinary farm crops.
On these marshes which neighboTing
farmers had scorned, the former min
lister laid out his first boys for the
culture OF eranberries. He began in
2 small way. The modest profits of the
early years he turned back into the
business, until he finally developed 500
acres Of the finest cranberry bogs in
all the state. One seasons crop from
those boys q few years ago is said to
have Melted the once struggling pastor

NEW TAXING BILL BEFORE THE
LEGISLATURE

Almost every session of the New
Jersey LEGISLATURE there are numerous
bills introduced which, if passed,
would chance the tax laws of the state.
As a rule the members are slow TO
make changes in the methods of tax
alton. which have been in vogue for
so many years. For years an attempt
has been made by North Jersey people
TO abolish the assessment on personal
and make the land carry
the whole burden. This year one OF
he hills introduced is Assembly Bill
No. l22. a public hearing upon which
will be held by the Assembly Com
mittee on Taxation at the State House
Trenton. Monday, February 27th, at
$50 P. N.
This bill would enact what is com
monty designated as the Pittsburgh
plan of taxation. a similar plan hay-
ing been adopted in that city nine
wears ago. where it is said TO be oper-
ating with great satisfaction. Taxes
on personal property and improve
ments would be gradually reduced n
the tax rate correspondingly increased
on all land value. 1t would not, how
ever. go into effect in any municipality
or taxing district until adopted by
nonular vote in such municipality or
district.
The Importance attaching to this
measure is shown by the answers re-
ceived to an inquiry by the Manufac-
turers and Merchants Taxation League
among real estate agents, grange Of
fcials and tax assessors throughout
the state.
OF the real estate agents, " per cent
favored repeal Of taxes on personal
property. 81 per cent favored the
graded tax and 81 per cent opposed
a state income tax.
OF the grange officials, 4S per cent
favored repeal Of taxes on personal
property, So per cent favored the
graded tax and SO per cent opposed a
state income tax.
OF the tax assessors, 81 per cent
favored repeal of the tax on personal
property. "A per cent favored the
graded tax and 60 per cent opposed a
state income tax.
One effect of the operation of the
graded tax in Pittsburgh is said to
have been the automatic equalization
Of assessments. a problem which is
now greatly disturbing taxing officials
and legislators in New Jersey.

High School Girls Lose
Overconfdence has cost many a VIC
tory. So it was when the local lassies
went to Cape May to try their luck
with the girls OF that high school. A
victory would have meant the county
championship and a %pennant. Defeat
means a tie in the race, with a pos
sible loss of the title.
The girls were defeated and thereby
hangs a tale. They had overwhelm-
ingly defeated Cape May before. Ocean
City had failed to score on them. Even
Court House had trailed on its own
floor. With this record they were sure
that they could not be defeated. and
already counted the game as won.
Still il was lost, Cape May getting i
points and Wildwood only 5 points.
We are told that Sweet are the
uses OF adversely" oS if the girls
profit by this defeat they will yet be
the county champions. The coaching
is good: the players are good. But
games cannot be won by underestl-
mating an opponent

to get that county championship. You
can do it. Will you?

A SCHOOL GIRLS FERRY OPINION
Louisa Woolson. II, Cape May Point
School. Presents Good Argument
For Project

The following composition on the
proposed ferry line between Delaware
and New Jersey was written by
Louisa Woolson. II years Of age, and
in the eighth grade. as a part Of the
ciyics course at the Cape May Point
public school:
Several years ago a boat called the
Republic" ran from Philadelphia TO
Cape May Point The landing was
near the sand plant This was II
Of the causes Of Cape May Point be-
ing built up and being a popular sum
mer resort at that time.
Now the Commissioners are trying
to have another boat run in the same
way. Of course there are other
places competing for the ferry. Schel-
lenger's Landing and Wildwood have
been trying hard to have it come
there. They have good channels for a
landing. but owing TO the fact that the
Republic landed here before, Cape
May Point has a better chance Of
winning.
If the ferry should land at the end
of the turnpike from West Cape May.
it would be beneficial TO Cape May
Point in several ways:
It would tend to advance the value
Of property.
It would cause the woods sections
to be cleaned away and made into
building lots.
1t would cause the boardwalk and
places Of amusement to be rebuilt.
II would cause the lake TO be beau
tilted for pienics.
The lighthouse is a place of inter
est for people and a great many peo-
pie would come here to go up in the
lighthouse and see the surrounding
country from that point Of view.
4 macadamized road is promised if
the landing is placed in Cape May
Point. This Will be a great improve
ment on the present road and will
bring people from Cape May and
weekend pleasure seekers from Penn
s~ylyania and northern New Jersey.
In order 10 accommodate these
guests there must be a hotel equipped
with conveniences that these people
are used to having at home.
Cape May Point has a safe bathing
beach and people from the inland vii
lagos in the country would enjoy a
day on the beach and bathing once in
awhile. This would benefit the
amusement places in a financial way.
If visitors were continually coming
to and going from Cape May Point in
the evenings the streets would have
to be lighted better.
Vegetables are much cheaper in
Delaware, and farmers from there can
bring their produce across the bay
and sell ii in all parts of South Jer-
sey. OF course this will be a great
benefit TO the people of Cape May
Point
The inhabitants of Delaware live
and talk somewhat differently from
the people living in Southern Jersey.
The people of Cape May Point in go
ing 10 Delaware on the boat will grad
ually acquire the customs of the
Delawarians TO a certain extent. Also
the people Of Delaware coming over
here will bring their knowledge of
farming and ways OF living to us.
The above reasons show just why
the ferry would be beneficial to Cape
May Point if il would land here. The
property owners as well as the resi-
dents who rem their cottages are very
anxious that these improvements
should be made here. II would be
beneficial TO them. e-ducationally and
fnancially.-Cape May Wave.

Norwich was put on the baseball map of the state during the past year through efforts of White Cross Council. No. 13, Knights of Columbus. who sponsored a team that would do credit to any minor league. A faster club Of ball players assembled as a semi-professional team was not to be found in New England and the record they made was an ex- cellent one.
 The team started the season under the management of John A. Holland, but lat CT in the season. Mir. Holland resigned the leadership and his duties fell on the shoulders of James P. Sheridan. who all though green at managing a baseball team conducted the affairs of the club so that they broke ahead of the game at the end of the season in finances. The pat .ronage during the first part of the sea son was rather slim for such an aggre- gation of ball players that performed on the Fairgrounds every Sunday but during the last half dozen games the att tendance was well over 5000 per game and the last game drew a crowd of nearly 5000.
 A large amount of credit for the suc- cess of the team goes to Eddie Mckay, field manager of the team. It was through McKay's field generalship that the team pulled out of many hole and chalked up victory after victory. Eddie was ably assisted by Bill Bergen, former National league catcher. and this pair made 8 coordination of baseball minds that was hard to equal on any semi pro team in the state. Testimony to this fact Is the exceptionally fine record o' the team in the games played the local club ending the season with a percentage of .667

PROFESSIONAL SOCCER WAS
 i NOTABIE EVENT OF 1s

The formation of a strong pTofes- sionaI league was the outstanding event of the year in the realms of soccer. In the past, this sport has been confined to amateur leagues. though the idea of a real professional league has been advo- cared occasionally. This year the spon- sols of this adea were able to carry out the plan and a highly successful organ- iza tion made up of Eastern cities is now engaged in a championship series.
 1t is generally predicted that other sections will follow the East in putting
 professional soccer on Q high plane
 Soccer is one branch of competitive
 saort in which amateur teams are al
 lowed to play against professional conl-
 binatIons, and the pro league serves to furnish q contestant for the national cha1apiousFip. Meanwhile the game has continued to flourish in those sections where the pro league IS as yet unknown, and tke East has not suffered to any marked extent, from an amateur stand 3oinr. through the presence of the pro- fess.onals.
 ri, national championship for the year was won by the Rob in Dry Dock team of Brooklyn. The Robins earned the houors in this geo. ti,n. and the Scullins of g.. Louis repre- l senteI the West in a game for the cham pionshlp at Fall River last spring.
