1T DOESN'T RAIN TAXES

Not long ago Mussolini broadcast
A circular in which he said: ere
member that the money of the
State is sacred. 1t does not fall out
of the sky like rain. 1t is the fruit
of the sweat and blood of the Ital-
ian people. 1t must be considered
sacred and spent only when strict
necessity renders it Indispensable"
President Coolidge insists upon
such programme of economy in
the United States. His administration
has already cut down taxation
amounting to S6,0O0,000 a day. He
will have none of the old schemes
of taxing high and spending lavish
ly.
How can La Toilette face the
farmers with his own programme,
which would put railroads and other
large properties in the governments
hands and instantly release them
from all local taxation? That would
mean higher taxes for everybody
else.
From the way La Toilette would
squander money on public owner
ship tomfooleries, we may suppose
that he regards taxes as a commod-
ity rained down from the sky and
not thing pulled directly from in
dividual pocketbooks.- Y. Tribune

AMERICAN KINGS

Some declare that they came to
America to get rid of kings. But
America is not without its kings.
The American king was defined by
Thomas Carlyle, who said, "The king
is the man who can"
Such king was present at q
slight accident on the Pennsylvania
Railroad. An express train from
New York to Philadelphia stopped
suddenly. After some delay the pas
sengers alighted and came up tc
find the engine crew attempting tc
make a minor repair. The job was
battling to the crew. Just ther
there stepped forth from the GROVE
commanding gray-haired gentle
man, who demanded peremptorily:
"Give me a hammer!"
He went to work, and in a short
time the trouble was rectified.
"Who's that man ?" asked 6
passenger.
"That is Sam Vauclain," was the
reply.
The volunteer repairman wa.
president of the Baldwin Locomo
tive Works, man who had come W
from the bottom to be the head OF
the greatest locomotive plant. He
was true American king, ruling
by the divine right of "the man who
can"
The dynasties Of the West remain
with those who come to power by
the gift of talent, rather than by
gift of blood.-Collier's Weekly.

ANOTHER CASE OF
AGANS' DEFICIENCY

Among other instances being cited
by opponents of David Agans against
his ambition for reelection to the
State Senate is the fact that he did
absolutely nothing to secure relief
for Stockton and Delaware Town
ship in having the Stockton Bridge
rebuilt. This bridge was burned in
July 1928. 1t was privately owned
toll bridge, and the owners are I'M
able to rebuild it.
So all the residents of Stockton
and vicinity have to go several miles
out of the way to cross the Della
ware River. The Free Bridge Com
mission was appealed to take the
situation over and build new
bridge, bridge, but the act creating
the Commission has been interpre-
ted by the former Attorney General
as not giving authority for it. The
act specifies that the Commission
shall use the funds provided to pur-
chase and free to traffic toll bridges
over which traffic is maintained and
for which tolls are charged.
AS there is no bridge, there is
no traffic and therefore no tolls.
So it is necessary that special
act be passed by the State Legis-
lautre authorizing the Commission to
act. Mr.. Agans could have secured
such legislation if he had really de-

A CORRECTION

In an editorial of the last issue it
was said that Charles Alvater, Dem
ocratic candidate for Hunterdon
County Surrogate, was in the hard
ware business. This was mistake.
His offices are in hardware store,
but we are informed that he has
no part in it.
However, he is variously repre-
scented as being in most every other
kind of business-baby chicks, Pos
tai Telegraph representative, insur-
ance agent, and it is reported that
he is also newspaper correspondent.
And all of it is indirectly advertised
by his position of Motor Vehicle
agent, especially the insurance bus
mess, for it brings him into con-
tact with great numbers of motor
lists who have to go to him for reg
istration cards.
And in addition to all this he
wants to be Surrogate. This is what
may prove to be the straw that
breaks the camel's backl

WHERE MURDER IS CoNDONED


Press comment on the life sem
tence passed by Judge Caverly on
Leopold and Loeb is unanimous in
condemning the sentence. Loeb and
Leopold confessed to the brutal muir
der of the ID year old Franks boy,
and arrogantly laughed at the
worlds CONSERVATION.
Judge Caverly evidently knew that
the world would protest against the
life sentence, for he feared bodily
harm. He had guard around him
from the time he began preparing
his decison-evidently his conscience
hurt him.
The Doylestown Intelligencer said,
"Judge Caverly's act in saving the
fiendish slayers of the Franks boy
from the gallows was one of the
most destructive judicial acts mag
Unable"
The State Gazette said, "The gen.
eral public would be better satisfied
with the verdict if it believed that
life Imprisonment really meant life
Imprisonment where vast
amounts of money are involved, such
sentence has meant few years
in prison and then pardon"
The Trenton Times said, Failure
of Judge Caverly to impose death
sentences upon Leopold and Loeb
murderers and kidnappers, is likely
to have two marked effects. One OF
them is to strike the public indigna.
ton as a miscarriage of justice, and
the other is to open the way fol
continued and increasing demand fol
some method of checking up the
actions of the court"
"The sentences imposed upon Leo
pold and Loeb seem to the Herald
Tribune New York; inadequate
justice, and we believe that mos
people will share our feeling
The judge in no way minimized the
inhuman and repulsive nature of the
offenses."
The New York Sun called it "An
Amazing Sentence. The sentence
shakes the faith of the people in
the blind equality of justice. When
these wretches escape capital pun
ishment, what is the sense of capital
punishment at all?"
"In the judgment of the great
majority of Americans" says the
Newark Evening News, "the machin-
cry of justice in Illinois has once
more operated to an end that comes
close to accounting for the murder
ridden criminal record of Chicago,
and the recurrent blood letting of
feudal Herrin, linked in common
barbarity."
And these comments are but a
handful of the thousands express
sing the same thought in newspapers
all over the nation. 1t is unusual that
there is such unanimity of opin-
ion expressed by publications of di-
vergent faiths. 1t is significant that
they all agree in condemning one
of the most miserable miscarriages
of justice ever know to the nation.

AMONG THE MISSING"
Many tragedies of the World War
are never brought to light. But oc-
casionally there appears the glimpse
that bespeaks the horror and suf-
fering of individuals. One of them
was unearthed recently in the case
of a veteran who was listed at the
War Department as missing"
In 1917 this young man went into
service with his head held high with
courage. Before he sailed for France
his sweetheart promised to wait
for him. And thru the horrors of war
he carried her picture in his heart.
fondly anticipating the time when
war should be ended and they might
be married.
Then at st. Mehiel he "got his
piece of ragged shrapnel mangled
his features, and he barely escaped
with his life. After weary months
in many hospitals he returned to
his home. The girl had been faithful.
But when confronted by her once
handsome lover, now with his face
twisted and contorted into hideous
grimace, her love was not equal to
it.
He saw the horror reflected in
her eyes, saw her avert her face with
an aversion that showed love had
died on the instant. Brokenhearted
the boy mumbled goodbye and
turned blindly away as he stumbled
thru the gate. Unable to face the
horror that his mutilated features
stirred in the hearts of others, he
disappeared.
And so on the records of the
War Department he is listed as
missing" Somewhere he is living
a grief-stricken existence, or else
he has taken that "short cut to the
West"

VETERANS HONOR
GENERAL DAWES AT

1EiN EMAIL LA w Eo n
LEGION CONVENTION
The National Legion Convention
is being held this week in st. Paul
MINI. Veterans are gathered from
every state in the Union for this
convention, and it is said to be the
largest ever held. Besides the bus
mess sessions of the convention
there are sightseeing trips for a
radius of fifty miles, one of them
being the Glacial Gardens at Tay-
lor's Falls. Athletic and field events
are also features of the convention
including boxing bouts with real
headliners participating.
General Charles G. Dawes, Repub-
lican nominee for Vice President
was a guest of honor at the con-
vention. A private dinner was given
for him by former comrades of the
A. E. F., and his appearance in the
convention was the signal for pro,
longed cheering.
