olive Emblem Of Athens.

How the olive tree came to be the
emblem Of Athens is told In Greek
mythology. Two deities-Minerva and
Neptune-wished to found a city on
the same spot, and, referring the mat.
ter to JOve. the king Of gods and men
decreed that the privilege should be
granted to whichever would bestow
the most useful gift on the future in
habitants. Neptune struck the earth
with his trident and forth came . war
horse Minerva produced an olive
tree, emblem Of peace.
Jove's verdict was In favor Of MI

DETERMINING VALUES FOR TAXATION

The subject of taxation is one that concerns everyone. Be-
= II IS of such universal interest the agitation by certain
interests to have a new apprasement made of industries IN the
county attracts unusual attention. 1t seems that the city OF Ne"
Brunswick had some sort of an apprasement made three years
ago and now the firm of johnson & johnson, of that city, want
the county tax board to have an appraisement of industrial plants
in the rest of the county.
The industries outside of New Brunswick feel, however, that
there is no ground for such an expenditure unless every kind of
property is included, and New Brunswick property is appraised
along with all the rest. In fact, there is objection to singing
out Middlesex county for any general tax readJustment; 1t IS a
matter for the entire state, SO that all property shall share alike.
The county tax board has denied the request Of johnson &
johnson that a re-appraisement of industrial property IN Middle
sex county be made at this time. The board is fully justified IN lts
refusal. No matter how serious some of the New Brunswick indus
tries may have taken the appraisement made in that city three
years ago, the facts do not justify it being given any consideration
by the county tax board. If there is an appraisement to be made,
LET If be general and thorough. This is the position of those who
onnose the johnson & johnson request and there is much reason
in their opposition. There is no opposition anywhere, as far as
known, to a general re-appraisement of all property IN the county,
although even such a general re-appraisement in any one county
is unfair. Taxation is statewide; it is just as necessary to have
equalization of taxes in adjoining counties as it is in adjoining
towns.
There is no doubt that the taxation problem in New Jersey
is a serious one. 1t can never be Strengthened out and made fair
under our present system. It is impossible to fairly determine true
value ON property other than real estate. Land, however, is I'M
~clangeable. It cannot be hidden; it is not the result of mans en-
terprse; it can be developed in almost any way and used for any
purpose without its value changing. A taxing system based ON
land and land alone, would come somewhere near giving the peo-
pie a square deal. A tax on land alone would put the penalty on
the unenterprhing individual who does nothing to improve his
property, and would encourage building and development, which
is as it should be.
But until such a fair and reasonable system of taxation Is
adopted in New Jersey, the matter of valuations is a statewide
proposition, at least it is countrywide and is a job for experts who
know their business.

METUcHEN STEPS ONWARD

Metuchen is TO be congratulated on the outcome oil the refer
endum on the sewer proposition. The people voted by a big ma
iorty to build a sewer system. No town can hope to prosper these
days without modern methods of sanitation. Metuchen is one OF
OF the prettiest and most attractive suburban communities in this
section of the state. 1t has been held back, however, because
there are no sewers. A man looking for a pleasant place in which
to establish a home and bring up his family would hardly give
Metuchen a second thought once he learned that there were no
sewers. 1t is a sign Of backwardness and Indifference.
This is now to be changed. With The sentiment of the people
SC strongly expressed, the borough officials will proceed forth
with to award the contract for a sewer system, and Metuchen's
great handicap will be overcome. There are many other things
that Metuchen can do to make the town more attractive to desir-
able people, but there is nothing that is more important than the
sewer system. 1t may be said that with the construction of sew
es a new era opens for the Brainy Borough henceforth there will
be nothing to hold it back. With such an excellent start there is
no doubt that other improvements will follow, and Metuchen will
take her place as one of the best residential towns in New Jersey.
In keeping with the progress being made in Metuchen, it is
time steps were taken to improve the railroad facilities between
that place and Perth Amboy. The Lehigh Valley railroad does
not care to develop passenger service on its Perth Amboy-South
Plainfeld branch, apparently, but the matter could at least be
agitated. AS Perth Amboy grows the people are going to go
more and more into the suburbs. Then, too, there are many who
would like to go away for the summer, but who want to keep
within convenient committing distance of this city. At present the
only place to go is along the shore. But many people would pre-
fer the hills if they could be conveniently reached. The Lehigh
Valley with its line through South Planfeld to bennington could
solve this problem, and within a few years build up a worthwhile
committing business to and from Perth Amboy if it would give
decent service.
In the meantime Perth Amboy and Metuchen are constantly
being drawn closer together. A great many Perth Amboy people
have gone to Metuchen to live. More are bound to follow. The
construction of sewers will remove the greatest objection that
many have had to going there. The people by their vote yesterday
took a long step forward in the progress of their town.

THE REAL FIGHT

Trees shed their leaves in autumn to adapt themselves TO
winter drought rather than to winter cold. Trees could
easily grow a protective covering or overcoat for their leaves.
But water freezes in cold weather and, not enough being
available for leaves, the trees shed the leaves.
A similar shedding takes place in tropical regions having
alternate wet and dry seasons.
Also, the scarcity and small size of trees in the Far North
are due to moisture shortage rather than low temperature.
These facts are from a lecture by Prof. George 3. Nichols,
botanist at Yale.
Trees have a phenomenal ability to adapt themselves to
their environment A beech tree growing in a clearing has
plenty of light but less water than it would have IN moist
woods. So it increases its water-absorbing roots and grows
thicker "skin'' on its leaves to decrease the amount of water
lost by Transportation.
Now take a beech tree growing in dense forest. 1t has
plenty Of water, but not enough sunlight. To overcome this
difficulty, it stretches higher, trying to rear itself above the
other t~ree-tops. Also, it makes its leaves larger, which IN
creases the leaf surface exposed to the suns light.
A million books could be written, without any repetition,
about the ability Of plant life to adapt itself to its environ
ment. So with man. 1t is within our power to adapt ourselves
to all changing condition and new problems. The wise are
never discouraged. Knowing a solution exists, they seek and
usually find it.
