QOn6Q.
Roads
Notwithstanding that the state
spent and obligated itself for roads
and bridges to the extent of $4,000
900 during the last year. the voters,
at the last election, voted a bond
issue of $40, 900, 600. with all its ac-
companying items Of interest and
sinking funds.
Since e 100000 voters express
ed themselves favorably upon the
proposition, I feel that it is in the
nature of a mandate to the state
officials to make the improvement.
So long as no attack is made upon
this action, or protest entered against
it, L shall deem it my duty to carry
out the provisions of the road bond
act.
1t is my purpose to recommend to
the legislature changes in the pres
ent laws relating to highways which
will provide for a reorganization OF
the present State Highway Commits
sion and a change in it's personnel.
I will also recommend in connection
with this matter laws safeguarding
the use of these vast sums of money,
so that the people may be assured
that they will be judictously ana
honestly expended.
Our bonded debt is increasing very
rapidly. Our state, five years ago
free from debt, will shortly owe over
$50, 900, 600. This debt, sooner or
later, must be paid. Further recon-
mendations which I have to make
will shortly be conveyed to the legis-
lature in a more extended message.

this support. It would, however. be
behind any effort to bring about real
temperance.
After all, this is a greas moral is
sue, for its affects the morals Of all
u people. and we are on the moral
side. Present conditions are immoral
and intolerable. Under true temper
ance. conditions would be wholesome
and healthful.
In order to express in practical
form the wishes Of the electorate we
must act both in the nation and ia
the state.
Nationally. we have the volstead
act, which ~endeavors to enforce the
eighteenth amendment. In truth, It
goes far beyond the provisions of
the amendment, for the latter pro-
hibits Intoxicating liquor for bever-
age purposes" while the enforce
ment act goes farther and prohibits
the use of beverages which are not
intoxicating. To say that anything
over one-half of one per cent is in
~toxicating is to enact a ~falsehood: it
would be quite as true to say that a
jackass is q camel.
If the Volstead act had given an
honest definition of Intoxicating
liquor" we might have been well on
the way to real temperance, through
the use of light beverages. instead of
breeding as we are doing now a ma
ton of whiskey drinkers.
If the Volstead act is capable of
enforcement it should be possible 20
enforce it at the national capital,
where the national government has
absolute control, with all its re-
sources behind it.
If Washington cannot be made dry
what can be expected of enforce
ment in the res of the country. But
even there II has been a failure. Why
continue this national hypocrisy
when w should have the courage to
face a situation and deal with 1t
honestly and frankly.
With this in mind, I would recon-
mend that a joint resolution be pass
ed expressing on the part Of the
people of New Jersey, a desire to
that it may truly reflect the intent
and meaning of the eighteenth
amendment, and not violate Jul con-
stitutional privileges.
Our state should also take the
necessary steps to call a constitu-
tional convention, as provided for in
the federal constitution, in order
that the eighteenth amendment may
be so altered as to clearly provide
for the lawful use Of beer and light
wines and so work for real temper
ance.
Within the state, the PRO .bition
enforcement act" should be changed;
beer of 2.75 per cent. and wines of 6
per cent, by volume, should not be
included in. the definition of "intoxi-
| eating liquors" While this does not
legalize the sale OF these beverages,
it at least expresses the will of the
people as to what the national act
should contain. For so long as the
amendment is effective, and the ma

A Total Wreck.

Some more amazing figures have just
come from Germany telling of the de-
moralizing of prices which, have fol-
lowed the French invasion. The dimin-
ished buying power of the mark was
considered bad enough when that relic
of a one time stable currency was
quoted around seven or eight thousand
to the dollar. But now that the mark
has descended TO the neighborhood of
"a 900 to the dollar with relative de.
terioratiOn in all the other stabilized
currencies of the world. Germany is
all but without a medium of exchange.
Naturally the prices quoted nowadays
in marks have no literal meaning be-
cause they can't be comprehended. But
the plight Germany is in today and
the plight she will continue to be in for
years to come, regardless of any action
against her former enemies, may best
be realized by the fact that before the
war a person worth 10000 marks was
supposed 10 be possessed Of a comfort
able fortune, something to last n life
time with thrifty handling of the money.
Today an ordinary dress in Berlin
costs 100000 marks. A pound Of meat
costs 900 marks, while a pound of pork,
dearer still TO the German heart. costs
up TO 400 marks. Red cabbage. also
so dear to the German heart, costs ITO
marks a pound--the ordinary equiya-
lent Of $3.50. Becr-that good Ger
man beer we hear so much about--costs
90 marks, or the normal equivalent of
$3.50 a bottle. Coffee costs 1000
marks. or the normal equivalent of
$1,000 a pound.

Where Are Those "Tasters.r

Speaking of rum, Washington had its
greatest rum thrill this week. The po-
lice announced that. they had traced
the leak" of embassy liquor" TO a
servant in the Cuban legation. Natu-
rally the Cuban minister was indig-
nant. A quick inquiry in the legation
proper convinced him there was no leak
and so he Immediately demanded of the
State Department and - police that
something be done at once to clear
the good name of the legation.
This clearance has come about in a
most convincing way and the joke is
on the rich clubmen of the city VINO
have been paying fabulous prices for
the real legation stuff" which has
turned out to be nothing more than
synthetic gin and whiskey made right
here in some dark and dank cellar. A
cornered bootlegger told the police he
bad been getting the stuff" through
the Cuban legation. He concocted the
story to save his reputation with his
class customers. He had been charg-
ing them anywhere from $1S to SD
4 quart for goods" that cost about
dollar a quart to manufacture. His
large stock" of LEGATION stuff" has
dwindled under police investigation to
less than quart of what appears TO
oe real whiskey. The chemists arc even
inclined TO doubt that. 1t is funny
how men who claimed to be such con-
noiseurs of whiskey in the pre-Volstead
days fall for the awful "hooch" now
peddled as the real thing.

cutters have been provided with a
newly invented device called an Ice
berg alarm" 1t is a modification of
the apparatus recently used by the
Navy for ascertaining ocean depths
by echoes. In the latter case, sound
wave is sent to the sea-bottom by a
transmitter and, returning as an
echo, is heard in a receiver. The in
tervals of time between sending and
receiving determines the distance of
the bottom from the ships hull, the
rate at which sound travels being
1,10o feet a second.
1t is thought that by the same
method echoes may be obtained from
