INCREASED IMPORTATION OF

The growing dependence of the
manufacturers Of the United
States upon the foreign world for
their raw material is evidenced bv
the latest figures of our foreign
trade. The Importation of crude
material for use in manufacturing
will approximate, according to the
Trade Record of The National Citv
Bank Of New York, a billion and
a half dollars in the fiscal year
which ends with the current
month, against 500 000,0 600 III the

ment as any group of men would
run a business in which they had
theirown money invested. 1t has
meant watching million little
things and not shouting to the world
about one or two big items of saw

"To begin with, Congress estab-
lished Budget Bureau to make esti-
mates of money needed, and it was
the business of that bureau to cut
out all avoidable expenses. Then Con-
gress went over those estimates very
carefully and cut out anything else
they thought we could get along
without. Then too, an important
art of saving money for the tax
payers was the general supervision
of all the departments SO that two
of them would not be doing exactly
the same work and so that they
would do their buying in the most
efficient manner.

"At the time the Budget Bureau
was created the War and Navy De-

branches Of the Government had

One job to be ACCOMPLISHED was to sell

it would not bring a great loss to

not hurt the various lines Of busin-

Blackwell Makes Demand
But PearSe'S Letter for
Governor Denies Power

TRENTON, Oct. 27:-State Sem
| ator William II. Blackwell, Repub-
lican, of Mercer county. today sum-
marily called upon Governor Silzer
to suspend from office j. Harry To-
ley, state sealer of weights and
measures. recently arrested for an
alleged 100000 liquor bribe scam
dal or at least to suspend Foley
without pay pending the disposition
of the alleged charges against him.
"Inasmuch as you have taken no
action thus far" said Blackwell to
the governor, II feel compelled to
demand on behalf of an outraged
public that you Immediately remove
Foley from his office of state sealer,
also remarning that since the arrest
of Foley the senator has been pat
iently waiting" to see what action
the governor would take to main
tain the states dignity and to as
sure the people CT the integrity of
public officials.
In a prepared statement issued in
connection with the letter, Senator
Blackwell declared one was al
most compelled to think Mr.. Silzer
intends to protect Foley out of graf
itude to United States Senator Ed
wards for retiring from the Presi-
Dental race in his favor.
Frederick NJ. p. Pearse, secre-
tary to the governor, today sent
a letter to Senator Blackwell in
reply to his request to remove Foley
says that if the senator would have
taken the trouble to find what the
law is, if he could easily have as
certained that under the laws of New
Jersey there is absolutely no power
in the Governor either to remove
the state sealer or suspend him with
out pay. THE truth is" Mr.. Pearse
writes. that the Governor might
just as well call upon you as SEN
ator from Mercer, to suspend or re-
move the State Sealer as for you to
call upon him." He calls on Senator
Blackwell to tell the public that he
found out the stipulations of the law
and that the Governor has no power
in this case. The letter defends also
the accused Mr.. Foley, declaring that
no hearing has been given the man.
Concluding the letter attacks Mr..

Call KaIteiSSen's Statements
Loose Talk" and Challenge
Him to Prove Assertions
STATEMENT ISS ED
Republican Members of Coun-
ty Board Invite KaIteissen
to Inspect Records

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 27:-
The Board of Freeholders in a state
ment issued today in answer to
charges emanating from Klemmer
kalteissen, Democratic candidate for
freeholder announce that all of the
questions asked by kalteissen will
be answered no later than next Mon
day. kalteissen issued a statement
yesterday in which he emphasized
the fact that the Republican free
holders had failed TO satisfactorily
answer the questions fired at .iem
by himself and County Democratic
Chairman Hayes.
The freeholders' statement fol-
lows.
Mr.. klemmer kalteissen mas
charged the Board of Freeholders
with being eyasiVe to questions put
10 them by Edmund A. Hayes and
has charged that the county books
are not kept straight and that county
roads are not built in accordance
with spes! s!geations.
THE Board of Freeholders is by
this time very familiar with the
reckless and careless loose talk from
Mr.. kalteissen which. SO far as is
Known is not backed up with a single
specific instance to prove his conten-
tions
"For the benefit of Mr.. Kaltelssen
it might be said that every question
SO far asked Will be answered no
later than Mondays issues of both
papers and that il he is familiar
at all with the way books are kept
he is invited to make an inspection
in company with Mr., .l1. A. Hayes on
October ~ and that if he has a
a.ngle instance in mind where roads
have not been built in accordance
with specifications he owes 1t to the
public to come out and tell exactly
what road he has in mind.
Charges thus made without any
proof are not only unfair but they
give the public pretty good idea Of
the character of the man that make
them. 1t is too much to expect an
apology from Mr.. Kalteissen for his
reckless assertions but it is not too
much to ask him TO refrain in the
future from this sort of campaigning
unless he is first man enough to go
and get the data with which TO sub
stantiate what he says
