PRESS COMMENT
State Joy Riding

otfttC wy ANAA
Discussion of joy riding in state
owned automobiles goes on apace.
1t cost New Jersey last year for the
maintenance of her automobiles and
trucks the vast sum of $512,470.
This figure does not include the pur-
chase price of machines, d~eprecia-
ton, equipment, or chauffeur's
wages. Two years ago the State
Purchasing Department recommend
ed the establishment of a central
garage in order that there might be
closer supervision of the state We
hicles and some sort of system
whereby the use of cars could be
kept track of and the time put in
by the various employees checked
up Two years ago, when the report
was made the state owned 282 pas
senger cars and 317 motor trucks.
There are more cars now though it
the time the report was made it was
recommended that more would not
be necessary. Some influence was
able to control the legislature and
will probably do so again this winter.
1t is stated that the city of Pitts
burgh saved $4,000 a year on the
maintenance of 81 passenger auto
mobiles, and the Trenton Times is
of the opinion that if the same bust
ness methods were employed in New
Jersey they would result in saving a
quarter of a million Of dollars. That's
a large sum of money and we'll worth
consideration these times. Freehold

American people will go the limit to
provide for them. There Is a whole
lot Of satisfaction In the airing that
the scandal that existed in providing

There is reason to believe that the
mistakes of the past will be or
rected and the disabled men will
get the attention they deserve. The
government is already spending over
S5O0. 900, 900 a year on them.
But for the healthy, able-bodied
men to expect the nation to pay
them a paltry few hundred dollars
as a reward for what they did. would
seem to be decidedly beneath their
patriotism. Now that a plan has
been devised that will benefit the
country as a whole, the sentiment in
favor OF that plan is almost unani-

Everyone knows that the burden of
taxation is the greatest handicap,

is proposed by Secretary Mellon,

that the great majority in the coun-
try favor it, and congress cannot

HEALTH TALKS
Preventing Headaches

People who fly for a headache
remedy, at onset and keep 1t up
year after year I surely on the
wrong track in the pursuit of health.
Trying to cure a headache without
giving any attention to its cause, is
like trying to put out a fire by shut
ting off the water supply.
The chief use of headache come
within a well defined limit. The So
called headache, or hyster-
zeal attacks, lead all other causes,
real or imaginary.
Probably headache from digestive
troubles might ONE second. Imag-
mary or bluff" headache would
come in a good third. AS the also-ran
causes. we have a group almost as
umerou as all the parts and or
gans of the human body could fur
nish.
10 give yourself a vacation from
headache, carefully take stock o;
your daily habits and work and then
see if real health habits can't &C
complish more than the rescue
cures.
The greatest preventive to that
daily headache is to know your own
condition thoroughly. If you strain
your eye by overwork at night or
in poor light during the day, a head
ache is liable to come your way.
The daily breathing of air contain :
mated with gasoline fumes or other
gases that attack the nasal mem
branes, will cause a dull throbbins
headache. Poor circulation in many
persons, especially those who refuse
to take any exercise, causes head
ache. To prevent this class of at
tacks. take a bath every day and in
stitute a regimen of exercises thai

other hand, the Democratic party

Democratic circles is by no means
negligible, and his main issue is the
League of Nations. A candidate to
be acceptable to him must favor the
United States participating actively
in world affairs. His recent radio
message delivered on the eve of
Armistice Day has given the Demo-
Gratis something to think about. 1t
is probable that the former Presi-
dent will be heard from again as the
campaign warns up. In the mean
time, there are those who think thai
a ticket made up of Ralston and
Sllzer for President and vice .presi-
dent respectively, would be a winner.
But the game is young yet and with
four candidates in the field, taking
it for granted that President Coo

look for more formal announcements
by would-be candidates every week
or two from now on until the con-
ventions meet.

THE NEXT PRESIDENT

With the election of 1923 not yet
over, several recounts having been
ordered by the court, there are al
ready three avowed candidates for
the presidency before the people for
next year. OF the three, two are
Democrats, Senator Oscar w. Under
wood, of Alabama, and William G..
McAdoo, of California. The other is
a Republican, Senator Hiram John
son, of California. To these may be
added the present occupant OF the
White House, President Calvin Coo
lldge, who, although he has made
no formal announcement, is looked
upon by everyone as a candidate for
the nomination.
There are several other men who
have lightning rods out in the hope
that some changing winds may blow
the political storm in their direc-
lion and they may be hit. On the
Republican side there is Governor
Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, who. after
settling the coal strike by saddling
another dollar a ton on the con-
sumner, has turned to the prohibition
Issue and is making a determined
effort to dry up his state. He has
attracted much attention by his let
ters to the federal authorities point
ing out the laxity Of federal enforce
ment. Others who would doubtless
like to spend four years in the White
House, but who will bide their time,
are Senator Borah, of Idaho, Senator
LaFollette, of Wisconsin, and former
Governor Lowden. of Illinois, all
Republicans.
On the other side, the Democrats
have a woods full of possibilities.
There is Governor Smith, of New
York, former Governor Ralston. of
Indiana, former Governor Cox, of
Ohio. who feels that he ought to
have another chance, former Ambas-
sador John w. Davis. of New York,
formerly of West Virginia, and our
own governor, George s. Silzer, who
is by no means the least of those
mentioned.
At the present time it is a free
for all race with no one having any
particular advantage. Among the
Republicans. Coolidge ma be said
to represent the conservative wing
of the party, while Johnson is a
recognized radical. Underwood and
Davis are the conservative Demo-
Gratis, If any Democrats can be said
to be conservative, while Governor
Smith and McAdoo have more radi-
cal tendencies, although these two
differ on the prohibition issue, Smith
being a pronounced wet, while
McAdoo is more inclined to be dry.
The hope of the other candidates lies
in a deadlock on these issues and

compromise.
President Coolidge, naturally, ha-
a decided advantage as he sits in
the drivers seat. But If there is
anything in an early start, johnson
t is bound to derive all the benefit to
be had. He can be depended upon
to put UP a hard fight; his ability as
a campaigner is well known, and IL

FOR TAX REDUCTION

The American people are for tax
reduction. That is made plain by
the response to the letter which
Secretary Ct the Treasury Mellon
xrote to Representative Green,
chairman 70 the ways and means
comm ittee of the House, regarding
the financial situation of tie
try. According to Secretary Mel
Ions pIan, a reduction of $S23,OOO,-
600 in income tax, affecting mainly
the smaller incomes, is possible this
year provided no large expenditures
are authorized by congress during
the coming session. For a country
that has been crying for relief from
high taxes so long this announce
ment is received with enthusiasm
everywhere, and congress has been
duly impressed.
The only large financial outlay
that would interfere with such a
tax reduction is the granting OF a
bonus to the veterans of the World
War. 1t is not known exactly how
much money this would require; esti-
mates vary anywhere from $780,
900, 900 to $4,000, 600, 900. Secretary
Mellon plainly states that If the
bonus is to be granted all consldera-
zion of reducing taxes must be given
up for many years, while, instead,
WAY must be sought for increasing
revenues.
The letter of Secretary Mellon is
SO clear and so convincing that the
advocates of the bonus have leen
swept off their feet. When one
Rallies the benefits to be derived
from a reduction in taxes, affecting
practically everybody in the coun-
/. try, the advantages of the bonus,
Ii there are any, disappear entirely.
At best, the soldiers bonus would
mean only a few hundred dollars
for each man, whereas the saving
year after year through a reduc-
ton in the income tax, which prac'
tically everybody pays, would mean
vastly more to the men, not to men
ton the incentive such a reduction
would be to business generally, in
creasing prosperity and assuring
work for all.
The best part about the Mellor
plan is that the man with the small
income receives the greatest benefit
The fact thai it would also wipe GU
the so-called nuisance tax. wh!cl
is the tax on theatre tickets. sodas
Telephone calls, and the like, woul,
also benefit the little fellow who |
struggling to make ends meet. Again
the Mellon plan gives advantage t

come over the fellow whose incom
consists of interests on stocks an
bonds, and dividends.
The only advantage the big fel
low gets is a REIMBURSEMENT of tn
