AMERICA WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE OF ABSOLUTELY REQUESTING POVERTY, SAYS
 HEAD OF IL S. COMMERCE CHAMBER
By International Labor News Service

Washington, D. C., Dec. I.-There is good ground for believing that America Is within striking. distance of ending poverty, says Julus' H. Barnes, president of the Chamber of Com
 merce of the United States, writing in The Nations Business, official or gan of the chamber.
 MT. Barnes does not place the pos
 sibility of eliminating poverty in some far off age, long after those | now living are dead He declares that 1t is within the possibilities that poverty may be absolutely abolished within a single decade, or at most a single generation.
 Why he believes that America may abolish poverty Is told as follows by MT. Barnes:
 "To understand Americas great ness and her industrial leadership, we must consider that here is a republic
 with a relatively short national his tory of century and half, en- trusted with the natural resources of continent, and that continent open to the development of the white race barely three short centuries
 There is surely something of great and solemn meaning that one hundred and ten million people, with this short national history, have made the high marks in human progress which we have a right to claim
 The total population of the world is about eighteen hundhed millions oi people. Now, when you picture these eighteen hundred millions of human beings, inevitably progressing along the roads which leads ultimately to living standards something like our own, you get a picture of the vast amount of human activity which will be called into action, with increasing urgency and increasing effectiveness
 Our System Proving Its Worth.
 And when we have this picture of eighteen hundred millions of people, moving with blind and halting steps, to be sure along the road which leads to individual happiness, security and content, we have the inspiration of a vision, if we may claim justly that America will be the pioneer to open wide the path for these advancing hordes.
 Surely it is picture to fix the imagination and to harden the pur- pose, that America with per cent. of the world population, should show the leadership in the translation of tiiC lId tul di iCoOuiCCS Ol the WOIIQ into the forms of human service And when one looks for the prac- tical reasons as to why this excep- tional translation of natures great possessions into mans service, we find that it rests securely upon an industrial philosophy which is dis tinctly and peculiarly American, also. l.This industrial philosophy is one which both from conviction and from necessity has placed an extraordinary value upon human labor, by enlarging the product of human hands with vice which great originality and ge- nius could devise There was so much to do in this vast empire, and so few relatively, to perform the task, that there has been a constant

Workers Buying Power Sustains
 Trade Volume

 Service.
 New York, Gee I'm a copy righted dispatch to newspapers all over the country, Stuart P. West, a we'll known financial writer, says:
 The general volume of retail and distributive trade is enormous. It is sustained through the double influence of the unusually high buying capacity of industrial wage earners and by the much improved buying power in the agricultural districts. These factors are relied upon to continue and to uphold the present satisfactory conditions in merchandising lines well into next season."

SOUTH kMB0Y HEALTH
is MOST ENCOURAGING

SOUTH AMBOY, March PLENTY
of encourageme was given the
members Of the Board of Health at
their regular meeting last night in
the city when Health Inspector Mich
olas j. Howley reported that the con-
tagious disease condition Of the city
was very near excellent.
This will not only encourage the
board but will ..lso bring good news
to the citizens Of the city, as fer the
past few months an unlimited wave
of minor sickness has touched prac-
tically every home here.
The health inspector ais reported
at the session last night that six
cows, infected with tuberculosis,
were removed from the Frank Kali
lish herd by orders from Chief In
spector McNab Of the state animal
industry.
An ordinance to control the
plumbing. ventilating and drainage

GOVERNOR FOR new VOTE
ON ROAD BOND ISSUE

Mr.. Silzer said in part:

Mr.. Silzer said in part:
read with much pleasure 'hat
! there is non-partisan league
! whose purpose is to improve condi.
tions in this city.
1 hope all, be they Democrats
or Republicans, will get behind this
movement.
How can there be partisanship il
all that we are trying to do is tC
spend money honestly? How car
there be partisanship if the only ef-
fort is to have a better city? ToH
can there be partisanship if the only
thing is to have honest governmen.
Those who would be partisan ahout
these things do not deserve to be
citizens of an honest American city
When l recently removed the
State Highway Commission, consist
ing of five Dem mocrats and three Re-
publicans, some of my friends said
that 1 ought to be more partisan
and keep the Democrats in office
and keep control of the )oarS
1 replied to them that no lSrty
can prosper unless its members are
honest and interested in the publl2
welfare; and that is true.
I do not want to belong to any
party that requires corruption and
corrupt methods to keep it in power.
L do not want to belong to any
party that has to be perpetuated at
the public's expense. 1 do want to
belong to a party that is willing to
render honest service to the people.
Perhaps L should say a word to-
hight about the road question. This
is not question of locality. There
are only four members to the board,
and there are twenty-one counties,
so that, necessarily, some counties
in North Jersey and some counties
in South Jersey must go unrepre-
sented. 1t is best that they should,
because one of the evils that we
have been suffering from was the
log-rolling between men of different
counties every trying to secure the
most for their county.
1 have been asked to withdraw
the names of General Scott and
Walter Kidde, and substitute for
them the names OF Daniel Pomeroy
and Senator Allen.
When the request was made told
the senators that L would withdraw
them If they would state either that
the men were not honest, that they
were not capable, or that they were
not Republican. They admitted
that they were all Of these. What
reason can there be, then, for the
substituting of others? There is but
one reason, and that is that the
board may lend itself to political
purposes.
No roads can be honestly built or
well built if those spending the
money are Interested in patent paw
ing or politics. We ell know what
results from this.
What ] have been trying to dc
is to select men who will disregard
both patent paving and politics, and
look only to the interest of the peo-
pie of the state.
r have been asked to substitute
Mr.. Pomeroy and Senator Allen
one president of the Bankers Trust
Company of New York, and the
other farmer, for two eminent and
experienced engineers If I did THE,
there would be no engineer on the
board. I don't know Mr.. Pomeroy,
but do know that II he attends to
his work as president of the Bank
ers' Trust Company, he certainly
will have little or no time to give

NORRIS CANAL
TITLE PASSES
Money to State Would Aid
Ship Canal if Hoffman Bill
Passes

TRENTON, March with the
delivery of the deeds yesterday to
the state, conveying the title to the
property of the Morris Canal, the
last step in the reversion of the
property to the state according to
the original charter of the canal
concern was consummated.
Sometime ago, lhe securities in
Guiding stocks and bonds of the COM
pany, were turned over by the Le-
high Valley Railroad Company les
see of the canal, leaving the turn
ing over of the title to the actual
property of the waterway, remaining
to be done.
The deeds were sent by the Morris
Canal Commission, a body created
by the legislature to carry on the
negotiations with the company for
the REIMBURSEMENT of the property
60 Attorney General Thomas f
McCran, for certification as to the
torn of docum ents, which were sign
ed by the governor on behalf of the
state. After the deeds were given
to the state, they were immediate.y
turned back to the Morris Canal and
Banking Company, operating the
canal, and a majority of whose stock
new Jersey owns.
In addition to a number OF tech
nical and legal experts present in
the attorney generals Office at the
delivery of the deeds, there were in
attendance at the negotiations E. B.
Boles, of New York, vice president
and general counsel Of the Lehigi.
Valley Railroad Company; David
Baird, of Philadelphia, secretary of
The railroad company and John Mil
hon. OF Jersey City, who has been
carrying on the negotiations on be-
half of the Lehigh Valley.
Yesterdays action has ended a
problem which has vexed legislators
governors and legal experts for de-
sades-- the question Of the reversion
10 the state OF the property held by
the canal to the state, as provided
Ia the original charter Of the COM
pany, granted to it early in the last
century. The two principal / oints
In the turning over OF the property
were the agreement of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company to pay the
state $S75,000 and for the company
to retain the se-called "big basin"
in jersey City. A valuable tract OF
water front land.
The problem which now confronts
the state Is the disposition of the
canal property. There have been
various suggestions as to what the
state shall do with the canal prop
erty, and with the money derived
from the canal negotiations, which
run the gamut of using the money
for the support Of the public schools
to building a ship canal.

SHOWDOWN HAS
ARRIVED IN
B|GF|GHT

The Dempsey Gibbons fight shows
that there is limit to the ex-
tremes to which. commercial spirit
can carry promoters and fighters.
The show down was bound to come.
What sporting interest there
might have been in a piece of
bad matchmaking OF this kind has
been thoroughly crushed under the
exorbitant demands Of the cham
pion heavyweight fighters of the
world.
Boxing as a sport has a strong
appeal to men, but boxing as a
business loses it's glamour.
Managers and boxers have gone
too far in trying to make capital
of public enthusiasm for boxing.
The sport is suffering from over
production. One whooping big
championship fight every two years
or so has always been successful.
Now championship matches nre
coming so thick and fast that they
are becoming too common. The
time has to be ripe for the big ring
events. It Is possible to have fire.
quent bouts in an indoor arena
like the Garden, with limited
seating capacity Of 10000 or $4,000.
An outdoor arena with a capacity
Of $4,000 or more cannot be filled
so frequently.
