TAX ON GASOLINE
Would Add Two Million Annually To
State Income
New JERSEY Audubon Society
February %, 1923.

The purpose of Senate bill 103, in
trooaced BY Mn. Richards. Of Atlantic
City, is to place a tax Of n cent per
gallon on gasoline. 1t is modelled after
the Connecticut law. Moneys re-
ceived by this tax can be expended
only for road building purposes. AT
Least sixteen States have enacted d
gasoline tax law. IF this bill becomes
q Law, New JeT-eyS income Is eX-
pected to become about two million
dollars greater, and auto drivers
bank accounts about We million les.
Maryland has had a tax Of two
cents a gallon and Is considering MAX
ing it three cents and abolishing all
registration Of automobiles, except
drivers licenses. That is a Just and
equitable tax. A person may have a
big car or truck and use it little, yet
the registration is the same as for
those which are used continuously
The amount of gasoline shows the
amount of use the vehicle ear out
the road,
New Jersey has t7o~ nds of com
mercial trucks and touring ears tha'
travel the costly roads and TO-
nothing for cost nor up-keepa. B,
taking tax on gasoline a big revenue
would be derived from cars from
other States.
1t is unfair to tax persons who owr
property to keep up the roads worn
out by others who pay little o
] nothing.

SALEM'S ARMORY

Two years ago Senator Allen got
an appropriation of $4,000 for the
erection of an armory in Salem, the
CITY of Peace. Not that it was need
ed, but to be in fashion to get some
thing because other counties had one.
And that at the close of the World
War, the war which was to end all
wars and all the people on earth are
20 live in peace as Friends.
Speaking of Friends, Salem was the
first permanent settlement of Friends,
the Quakers, in America, who oppose
all war, yet their continues some Of
the spirit of John FenwickS youth,
when he was a captain in Oliver
Cromwell's army.
Having gotten $4,000, it is not
enough, so Senator Allen has gotten the
legislature to favor $4,000 more If 1t
gets in the appropriation bill.
The attendance of the militia the
past year at drills has been small be-
cause the military spirit has grown
less. 1t is evident that the armory
is not needed, but Salem County must
be in fashion to have something be
cause others have it.
1t will be a continuous added
pense to the County and State, be
cause it will cost thousands to main
tain it. The young men in the Ameri-
can Legion who wish to maintain
their spirit should join the militia and
have use of the armOry, instead of
outside expense.
The armory should be used in which
to give physical drill to the school
children who should be taught the
fundamentals of military tactics to act
in companies for quick and efficient ac-
ton in school rooms, especially chang
ing of classes, entering and leaving
buildings.
However, to be in fashion, Salem
will get an armory. The problem will
be to maintain it at an extra tax and
to make efficient use of it.
The Governor signed the bill for the
S25, 900 appropriation Wednesday
night and the appropriation committee
recommended on Thursday that it be
included in the appropriation bill.

RELIGION IN RUSSIA

The SOVIET Government has dis
established the Church, and appro-
priated its property. Since the revo-
luton Of March, 1917, all religious
may be readily protested in the En-
pire. The prevailing religion of the
country is the Greece Russian, offici-
ally called the Orthodox Faith. 1t has
its own Independent Synod, but main
tains the relations of a sister Church
with the four orthodox patriarchates
Of Constantinople, Alexandria, Anti.
During the iraror'2l regime, the
Emperor was head of the Church; he
appointed to every Office in the
Church, and was restricted insofar as
to leave the bishops and prelates the
privilege Of proposing candidates; and
he transferred or dismissed persons
from their offices.
The Penn's Grove record., 1923-03-02
JOIN THE WORLD COURT

President Harding and Secretary of
State Hughes have sent a message to
the L.. s. Congress recommending
hat approval be given for this ma
ton to have a representative on the
World Court, at the Hague, in Hol-
land, and help pay the expense. The
President has wobbled so much that
people do not know whether to take it
as ahoax to head Of Borah's proposition
for a world conference and continue
the Great Deception" practiced by
the twenty leaders that the surest
way to get into the League was to
put Harding in office, or a sincere
effort.
To enter the World Court created
by the League Constitution would be
going in by the back door. 1t is
ridiculous when n thinks Of it. To
rOte for a representative on the L.
5. Supreme Court created under the
I. S. Constitution and not approve of
the Constitution, because George
Washington was a leader in creating
it is l%udicrous.
To approve of the League of Ma
tons constitution created by Wood
row Wilson, a greater mar than
Washington and Lincoln, would never
do by political opponents in this gen
Grafton. 1t is political heresy now.
1t will not be fifty and a hundred
years from now.
However, webbing into the World
Court is a step in the right direction.
As political prejudice dies out and the
pro-German and Irish hyphen votes
become less important. the nation will
swing into World Association for in
ternational truth, justice, peace and
friendship as eXempliied by William
Penn and the Prince of Peace.

me3tal consideration alone, although

to realize
Convinced that economically, the
introduced European starting was
undesirable. the Society lent its sup
poIt TO a bill removing protection from
this bird, which was passed. The
main claim in behalf of bobolink pro-
lection is that the bird is valuable as
an insect DESTROYER in New jersey in
summer (would be much more so
without the fall persecution and with
out harmful traits in the north.
Since the bulk of the rice industry in
the South has left the Atlantic coast
and gone to the Gulf coast. the Editor
of the Record will have some diff
Guilty to find information for his
figures of a million dollars and two
million dollars loss caused to the in
dustry by bobolinks. As a matter of
fact, the loss is not a small part of
any such sum-. The United States
Department of Agriculture has all the
figures; obtain them and print the re-
suit.
However. whatever the bobolink,
reedbird. ricebird may be in the South,
it is without any Objectionable charac-
ter in New jersey. There is no rea-
son for New Jersey sacrifcing its own
interests to do for a southern State
what that State can perfectly we'll do
for itself. That is mere smoke screen
for the poor gInne who would
rather attempt to support their starv-
ing babies by shooting song birds than
by doing honest labor. Incidentally.
in this connection. the Editor of the
Record inadvertently exposes his gun
ner clients when he says gunners in
Salem County received hundreds Of
dollars from the sale of these birds.
Such sale is a violation Of the law,
even prior to the bobolink protection
act of 1921.

twelve-hour day, and on August 2 Ell
bert H. Gary of the U. S. Steel corpo-
ration announced its elimination.
The American Federation OF Labor
met in annual convention in Portland,
Ore, and, among other acts, voted
against the formation of political
labor party and also against the rec

Despite high wages, which in some
instances rose to astonishing heights,
and the high cost of materials, the
building trades in America f1ourfshed
enormously during the year. Railway
earnings also seemed more satisfac-
tory than in the immediate past. The
number of unemployed diminished
steadily. Agricultural interests made
the loudest complaints, and it was
true that the price of wheat declined
until the farmer could not raise it at
a profit.

INDUSTRIAL AND LABOR

Only one really big strike marred
the record of the year in the United
States, and that did not last long. The
miners in the anthracite fields and
their employers tried in vain to fix a
new wage scale and working condi-
lions, and on August q they broke off
negotiations. With the approval of
President Coolidge, Governor Pinchot
of Pennsylvania undertook to handle
the problem, and proposed a eompro-
mise on August 90 The strike began
officially two days later, but the nego-
tiations were continued PinchOt's
plan was accepted September s and
the miners resumed work on Septem-
Der 90
At various times during the year the
railway labor board adjusted the
wages of certain classes of rail work
ers, usually raising them. Some of
the roads made separate agreements
with their employees, giving them in
creased pay. April 8 the steel indus
try raised the wages of common labor
II per cent and adjusted the pay of
other classes, and on April 13 the Chi
cage packing house employees and
building trade workers were given an
increase. The steel makers had been
attacked bitterly for maintaining the
