The letters this week and next will
be a general survey Of present tax
conditions rs see them, showing the
fallacy of the idea that any appreci-
able saving to the taxpayer can be
made q consolidation bill passed by
the Legislature and ending with Q
statement Of fundamental facts, as
believe they now exist, with the only
solution which seems to me to offer
itself 1t this time. These letters will
appear this week and next, but should
be considered as one general state
ment of facts and figures.
The report Of the Special Committee
appointed by President Robin H.
Davis, of the Denver Civic and Com.
mercial Association to investigate and
study the two code bills before the
legislature, is one of the most COM
plete and fair presentations of this
subject thar has yet been made. The
committee is composed Of seven Of
the leading business and professional
men of Denver, who had no personal
or political interest in the matter
and Mr.. Davis, who appointed the
committee, was one Of the members
appointed by Governor Sweet to help
draft the original administrative code
bill. Their f1port may therefore be
considered as non-political, and for the
sole purpose Of information and fol-
the best interests Of the Denver Civic
and Commercial Association and the
State Of Colorado.

'In other words, little more than
two-fifths Of the total state taxes are
for the state educational institutions.
"The state highway department re-
ceives 81 ,8O4, 542.36, which is rs per
cent or one-fourth of the total state
taxes. OF this amount, $1,544,373.57
is from the mill levy for the highway
fund and $260, 1871 is from the mill
levy for interest on the 5000 600 of
highway bonds authorized by vote
of the people in 1920.
"In other words, It will be seen
that more than IS per cent Of the total
state taxes is for educational institu-
tions and highways. This leaves IS
per cent or slightly over one mill to
be divided among the other items con-
shutting the total mill levy for state
purposes.
This in turn may be divided into
two parts, II per cent for administra-
tive purposes and Fl per cent for our
state penal and other institutions, ex-
GLIDING, OF course, our institutions of
higher learning mentioned above. Here
we find that even 1t the remarkably
low cost Of 50 cents per inmate for
food. clothing, nurses and doctors
care. ETC., the State Hospital for the
Insane at Pueblo costs over 500, 900
per year. The State Penitentiary,
which is probably the cheapest per
capita maintained institution in the
United States, costs between $3.50, 900
and $500 900 per year for its constant
Iy increasing inmates. Then fol-
lows the industrial School for Girls,
the Industrial School for Boys, the
Home for Dependent Children, the
State Reformatory, the Home for
Mental Detectives at Ridge and Grand
Junction, interest for state highway
bonds voted BY the people.

HOT CANPA|
FOR CARTERET.
Democrats, Lead by FormeI
Mayor Hermann are Try
ing to Gain Control

CARTERET, Oct. 24-The histor,
of the borough has never known
such an intense political campaign a.
is evident this year. 1t is partly ali.
mitted that in years past there was
no need to resort to y-1rious methods
to win. The Democratic party had
been well entrenchet in the town
and yearly elections were more q.
less matters of course. The turn las
year, by electing Mayor Thomas j,
Mulvihill and a majority Republiea
council, has brought out entirely ne
aspects. The general understa nd:ne
that the Democrats alone would GOV
ern the town and no other party mad
a chance, came like a bolt of light
ming not only to the Democrats bnt
to the Republicans as we'll who have
aspired to administer the affairs OF
the borough.
The wheel of luck which turned
toward the Republicans has given
the Democratic organization here
new problem to solve. And there
fore for the first time in these long
years the defeated party had to
launch a campaign not onlysto hold
their own but to regain the rule "of
the baby that they mothered since
BIRTH" in the words of former Mayor
Joseph A. Hermann.
With Mr.. Hermann at the helm
the Democrats here have truly
launched the biggest campaign that
is probably waged anywhere in the
county. Not only the men but the
women as we'll have Joined hands to-
gether to regain what they have lost.
Meetings, conferences and discus
sions are held almost nightly and no
stone is left unturned to bring about
the success of the party. Means and
ways to offset the opposition are
thought of daily. The spirit of the
Democratic party is being revived
With new vigor and vim, which for
time has seemingly been abandoned
Over assurance held by political
leaders of the Democrats is said to
have led to the downfall. Council
man Joseph G. Child, however, calls
it only setback.

THOSE TEN JANITORS
APPEAR REAL ISSUE
CONTINUED from page ID

chairman of the Democratic COM
mittee has not been answered. The.
trouble is, I think, that the memH
bers of this bracketed organization
have so blinded themselves that they
do not think there is anyone in the
county who can run the office hav-
ing at the same time a real interest
of the taxpayers at heart. Certain
ly all of the questions asked are
fair ones and l am sure it does not
make any difference to the taxpayer
what personal words pass between a
representative of the county chair
man and the employees of the coun-
ty collectors office. What the tax
payer wants is to have thisgquestion
answered in a direct way and they
are entitled to have it answered re-
gardless of who asks them. There
are certainly enough employees in the
county collectors office that one of
them could be assigned together
with the man the county chairman
sent. What the people of our coun-
ty want Is an honest above board
discussion of the question involved
p this campaign and they are not at
all interested in any personal matter.
There must be some reason why the
the question asked has been evaded.
Thomas A. Cody, secretary of the
Democratic County Committee, in a
speech at Iselin this week, attacked
the attitude of the Republican free
holders in refusing to disclose their
records. maybe after a few weeks
delay the records will not show any,
thing startling. Who can tell?" the
secretary said, intimating that the
RnnJIhli ~ no IaIo ~ III =
records public for a reason.
1.-THE Board of Freeholders had
the brazen effrontry to tell our audi
tor that the salary of the ten janitors
that take care of the court house
SO no one will steal it was 500 a
month each. Do they think we don't
know what their salaries are?" Mr..
Cody said. He itemized each figure,
declaring the total to be $15,660 a
year or $3.50 in excess of what the
board admits paying these ten men.
Mr.. Cody said in the course of his
remarks:
'.Do the Board of Freeholders
think they are going to be excused
from showing us the records by say
ing that the monthly reports have
been published in the Amboy and
NEW bruHSWlck papers ana every
citizen thus afforded an opportunity
to examine them? They know that
this is falsehood. Does anyone be-
lieve they publish in the Amboy
paper one month and the New
Brunswick paper the following
month for the sole purpose of saw
ing the taxpayer money. These pap
ers have a combined circulation that
would assure the freeholders' month
ly report going to practically every
person in this county. whereas under
the present arrangement the people
who only read one of the papers
get the opinion that the board spent
only one-half the money that it really
has.
''This attitude by the Board of
Freeholders is bluff pure and simple.
They hope to stave off this examina-
ton until it is too late to publish its
result before election, because they
know that when this examination is
made it means the political demise
of every one OF the members of the
board and every last one of its sew
eral hundred political office holders
and employees"
