GETTING TOGETHER G A

There are indication of common sense and reasoning on the
part of the legislators at Trenton. The Republican majority did
not jam through their ripper bil' last night taking from the
governor the power to appoint the State Highway Commission.
Today there is another conference on between the law-making
body and the governor over the matter. It is a good sign. It is
getting back to where we were before the paving interests got in
their fine work following the governors address in which he an
nounced the dismissal of the old state highway board and asked
for a new board of three members. By thus reasoning together
with only the welfare of the state at heart something worth while
b going to be accomplished.
The governor has shown good faith in this matter thus far.
As he told the state newspapermen whom he addressed at their
mid-winter meeting in Trenton yesterday, there cannot help but be
good government when everything is done in the open and the
cards are all on the table. That is the governors strong position
kn this fight. He has been open and a%boveboard. It will be time
enough to hesitate and doubt his sincerity when there are indi-
Dations that he is not playing the game square.
Thus far he has met the Republicans more than half way. He
6as gone along with them in adopting their policy which they so
strongly advocated during the campaign. He has put it up to
Them to show whether they really meant what they said or not
He courageously ousted the Democratic State Highway Commits
non and called for q nev deal. 1t was a startling procedure and
butte took the Republicans off their feet. They are beginning to
regain their equilibrium, however, and show signs of moving for
bard again.
1t is splitting hairs to question the character of the men the
governor will name on the three-man commission. The Republi-
ban senate can accept or reject any Of the names the governor may
present to them for confirmation. They can keep on turning down
she men until they get men they believe are fit for the job. But
after all the talk on the part of the governor about a high class,
efficient board, he would hardly dare present any but the very
best men available for the commission.
As pointed out by the Trenton Times: IF the governor at
tempts to appoint improper men to the State Highway Commission.
the Republican senators can easily defeat the attempt. Nobody
can defeat improper selections made by partisans in a joint meet
ings of the legislature, after the log-rGIling by the lobbyists and the
politicians has been completed. The issue as now made up is the
taxpayers of New Jersey against the road grafters."

CAN YOU INVENT?

Ever try to invent ~anythingf Or dream you invented
something that made the dollar bills come down like paper
snow in an old-time Lincoln j. Carter melodrama?
Well, then, you would find it interesting to attend the
international exposition of inventions to be held in New York
City at the Grand Central Palace, February 1928.
Advance notices of the unique devices that will be ex-
hibited make us marvel at the vast resourcefuness Of the
human mind. One inventor has an automatic typewriter
eraser. Another has a mechanical chimney-sweep. About
everything possible seems to have been attempted by the
exhibitors. One fellow even promises to bring an ''airplane
barge'-if there's a big enough door to get into the building.
Auto shows, by charging admission, introduced something
new into the business world-making people pay to look into
the show windows. Who knows but what the idea will be
developed until the public has to pay admission to get into
stores?
We hope the inventors charge sufficient entrance fee to
provide a nestegg for each of them. An inventor usually
needs it. As a rule, the profits from an invention are reaped
by the people who create a sales market. Emerson said
that If you make a better mouse trap the world would beat a
path to your door. That was fine Big Talk. But it was
hokum-as every inventor learns when he starts trying to
market his invention.
A good feature of this New York exposition is that it will
bring together the inventors and the men with idle capital
who are looking for something to promote. Henry Ford,
recalling the trouble he had getting capital interested in
his gasoline buggy will sigh and wish there'd been such
a get-together meeting when he was a young man.
Your Simon-pure inventor used to be a jack-ofal- trades,
with perpetual motion as his goal. He began getting more
practical after Uncle Sam announced that he'd no longer even
consider applications for patents on so-called perpetual motion
machines.
Running our eye over the List Of inventions to be displayed
in New York, we are struck by the fact that-with only q
few exceptions-the devices are highly practical in nature.
It's a good thing that the great human inventive force In
flowing along practical lines. Nothing we use is anyways
near perfection. Most of our devices are not more than 10
per cent efficient. You are reminded of this when you notice
that most Of the furnace heat goes up the chimney. Perfec-
ton of a furnace that would utilize even threefourths Of the
heat would be worth more to the Steam Age than a perpetual
motion machine.
Solicitations, you inventorsi You are the leaders who are
pulling civilization higher and higher. Your inventions
make possible the existence of arts, higher sciences and per-
sonal leisure time.

THE BRIDGE APPROACH VALUES

George L. Burton, who was chairman of the State Highway
Commission that was recently ousted by Governor Sizer does not
make a very strong case in his defense of the high price paid for
the land for the approaches to the Amboy bridge. He attempts to
pass the buck to the Perth Amboy men who were asked to appraise
the value of the property. But there was no law to compel the
State Highway Commission to accept the values as placed by these
appraisers. If the price was believed to be exorbtant, and prac
tically everybody believes it was, the highway commission could
have resorted to condemnation proceedings. This would have been
FULLY justified in view of the price asked. And there would have
been plenty Of time to have taken up such proceedings since the
fhe work on the bridge has not been started yet.
AS for Mr.. Burton's claim that it was necessary to pay the
price asked because the commission took over the entire property
it is pertinent to ask why was it necessary to take over the entire
property He claims that later on the land that is not used for the
bridge approach can be sold at a price that will probably pay for
fhe cost of the whole thing. Judging from the values of other
Sands in that vicinity this will be a long time coming; but suppos
ing there is such a chance what right has the State Highway Com
mission to go into the real estate business, especially a transaction
20 highly speculative as this isl
No, the payment of $230,O00 for the few acres of land for the
bridge approach without even attempting to condemn il, cannot be
justified in any way. 1t would be a joke were it not such a serious
matter, wasting the taxpayers money in such a manner. The less
Dir. Burton or anyone else having anything to do with this uu-
bavory deal has to say about it the better it will be for them.

This message, hot off the wires,
from q diligent correspondent in
Sanford's home city, read:

That seemed like page one stuff

STREET REPAIR OUTFIT NEEDED

Perth Amboy streets are beginning to show signs of the win.
ker's wear and tear. Holes that are going to be a great deal worse
" the time spring arrives, are maEing their appearance. the top
essing Is cracking and we have, as usual, the numerous cuts for
y ,nnecting with the water main and repairing leaks.
AT the committee session of the aldermen last week the propo.
sition to buy a gasoline. driven roller was considered. It would be
an economical move and in the interest of good government for
the aldermen to buy a complete street repair outfit. The constantly
increasing mileage of pavements in the city warrants such an in
vestment and it is only by keeping constantly at work that the
streets can be kept in decent condition.
There is no economy in letting the streets deteriorate until the
Kummeri is half gone when a contract is entered into with some
firm to come here and make a complete job of repairing the streets.
The little money spent in patching here and there when the first
&igns Of wear appear would mean an immense saving in the course
the year-more than the repair outfit would cost. Perth Amboy
ways prided herself on her excellent streets. The city has
ing enough Of late, why not make a start in the other
year by keeping the gtxsats alwaxs in good condition.
