POL|CEWOMAN
HURT IN FALL
Miss Jensina Olsen Thrown
From iIagon-0n way to
the Police Station

Policewoman Jensina Olsen Is
confined to her Maple street resi-
dence today with injuries sustained
when she was thrown from the bug
gy of former Dogcatcher Arthur
Murish at the corner of High and
Fayette streets yesterday afternoon.
Murish was being taken to head
quarters on charge of being drunk
and for driving in a reckless manner.
The dogcatcher was given term OF
ninety days in the workhouse by Re-
corder Harold e. Pickersgill this
morning.
While going out New Brunswick
avenue yesterday afternoon the po-
licewoman noted the manner In
which the horse and buggy were
going from one side of the road to
the other. The policewoman fol-
lowed on foot and although Murisn
stopped once he returned lmmeul-
ately to his wagon and continued
on his way before the officer reached
his vehicle. He drove into Washing
ton street from New Brunswick ave-
nue., and then into Cornell street,
where he stopped his steed in an al
leyway near the cigar factory.
Following the second turn the
policewoman lost track of Murish,
but was informed by a motorist that
he had stopped in an alleyway. The
former dogeatcher was approached
and informed that he was under ar
rest for being drunk and for drlv-
ing recklessly. When asked whether
he was willing to drive to head
quarters or have the patrol called.
he agreed to drive.
The prisoner drove down Laurie
street, to Amboy avenue, to New
= iClr Qff6r hefnR
given the '.go" signal at New Bruins
wick avenue and Fayette street, con-
tinued down F'ayette street. Instead
of turning properly at High street,
Murish waited until he was more
than half way across the street and
the sudden jolt sent the vehicle up
on two wheels, and the policewoman
was thrown out.
The injured officer was taken to
the office of DIR. John V. Shull where
seven stitches were taken in two
wounds on her right leg, near the
ankle, as a result of being run over
by the wagon. She also received
bruises about the head, body and
left foot.
Murish was taken to headquarters
where he was lodged over night, and
this morning he was taken to New
Brunswick to start his term. The
horse he had yesterday was not the
same one which figured in the es-
capade of months ago, while Messrs.
Murish and Former Dogcatcher OIL
sen Were on their way to the dog
catchers convention in Woodbridge.
The owner of the horse claimed
yesterday that his animal was reg
ularly wild, but the policewoman re-
<<s.kr t1af H. t1 a n a ha
a reckless one only when his driver
unnecessarily apnlied the whip.

S|[zER URGES
A DIRECT TAX
For State Institutions in the
Annual Budget Message
to the Legislature

TRENTON, Jan. 8:-Opposing the
general levying of new taxes on the
ground that such a course would
only lead TO further extrayagances
Governor Silzer nevertheless recon-
mended the imposition of a special
direct tax for the improvement and
operation of New Jersey institutions
in the annual budget message which
he submitted to the legislature at its
opening session here today. The
chief executive recommends the ap-
preparation of $16,157 ,379.02 for the
next fiscal year. Last year this tgure
was S15,422,T45.57. OF the total
amount of appropriations recon-
mended, $11,717, ,071.11 Is to come
from general revenues, while the
balance of s4,440,307.91 comes from
special sources of revenue already
set aside by law for individual de-
partments.
Department heads asked for a
total of $21,725,992.5S. In scaling
this figure down to one within the
estimated revenues to be received,
Governor Silzer declares he has no
doubt that an injustice has been
done to many. Further revenues are
und oubtedly necessary" he con-
tinues, for the proper administra-
ton of the government of the state,
but I am opposed at this time to the
general ievying of new taxes, either
in the form of an income tax or any
other suggested way. because I be-
lieve that such a course would only
lead to further extravaganza
The Department of Institutions
and Agencies has t been sufficient
ly provided for in previous appro-
priations says the cover, declar-
ing that the result is that we drop
back each year on that which is
necessary to be done. although we
are doing much each year to I'M
prove existing conditions. 1t is to
meet this need. without the extrava-
ganee feared by the chief executive,
that he recommends a special direct
tax.
The governor also seriously ques-
tions" the present system of automa-
tic increases in salaries for state off,
cials and employees. under which in
ereases are granted for mere length
of service, without reference - the
quality of service rendered.

K|WAN|S CLUB
FAV0RS BRIDGE
Local Club Endorses Bridge
to T0ttenvilIe-Further
Charter Night Plans

The local Kiwanis Club today
voted unanimously in endorsing the
proposed bridge connecting Perth
Amboy and Tottenville. The matter
was brought before the. meeting by
s1orris Goldberger and discussed at
length. Realizing that considerable
work must be done in order to have
the idea favored at Trenton plans
will be made whereby the Kiwanis
Club will lend its assistance in max
ing the project certainty.
A number of the Kiwanians vol
unteered to attend the meetings of
other Kiwanis Clubs in this part of
the state in. order that they might
personally .xtend an invitation to
those members to attend the charter
night banquet and dance to be held
in the Masonic Temple here on jan
uary 80.
A meeting of the members of the
committees in charge of charter
night together with the officers of
the club will be held tonight at 1880
in the Office of Boynton Brothers d
Company.
The speaker at today's meeting
was Lester Brown, a member OF the
Irvington Kiwanis Club, who is affil-
lated with the Alexander Hamilton
Institute. He outlined some of the
activities being carried out by XII
wants clubs throughout the state,
told of the opportunities for benefi-
cial work to be found in every COM
munity and briefly traced the growth
of Kiwanis from its organization in
1915. Referring to the proposed
bridge across Staten Island sound,
the speaker said he felt sure the
Irvingron Club will get behind Perth
Amboy and help in its campaign to
have the legislature favor the work.
It is likely that the local Kiwanis
Club will get in touch with every
Kiwanis organization in the state re-
uuesting those bodies to use their in
fiuence in having the senators and
assemblymen from their county fav-
or the bridge idea.
Today's attendance prize was
awarded by H. Victor Main and was
won by Harold r. BRIGGS. Nathan
Goldberger will be the chairman of
next weeks luncheon.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S. show
down among House Republicans on
the soldiers bonus was assured to-
day with issuance of a formal call
for conference Thursday night for
discussion of the question. The call
sent out by Representative Anderson
of Minnesota, chairman of the con-
ference, was so worded to permit
consideration of taxation and other
pending legislation.
Taxes, the soldiers bonus, farm
aid and Russia were subjects to
which congress gave its attention
today either in debate on the floor
or in committees.
Having failed to break the dead
lock over the craftsmanship of the
interstate commerce committee yes
terday, the senate faced a renewal
of the contest, but with little pros
pect of a decision. Senator Smith,
Democrat, South Carolina, contin
ued to lead yesterday, but, with the
Insurgents and so-called progress
sives on the Republican side sup
porting Senator Couzens, Republi-
can. Michigan. and the regulars vot-
ing for Senator Cummings, Republi-
can, Iowa, he fell several votes short
OF necessary majority.
Taxes and the bonus were the
combined subjects of prepared ad-
dress by Senator Copeland, Demo-
crat, New York, after the transact
tion of the usual routine business in
the morning hour. Representative
Beedy, Republican, Maine, held the
given time for a discussion of Rus
sia, subject which occupied the
senate much of the time yesterday
and which promises to provide fur
Their and more extended debate later.
The House ways and means COM
mittee continued today it's work on
the administrative provisions of the
Mellon tax plan while awaiting the
party conference of House Republi-
cans on the question of whether a
bonus measure is to be reported
ahead of tax revision.
Agricultural relief was the subject
of public hearings before both the
senate and House agricultural COM
nittees, with representatives or
farmers organizations appearing be-
fore each. Both committees have
before them the Norris-Sinclair farm
purchasing and selling corporation
which was approved by witnesses

tee.
The agricultural situation also was
the subject OF an address in the
House by Representative Leavitt,

COOLIDGE HITS
DEMOCRAT TAX
ACT IN SENATE
He Regards Surtax Provisions
of Garner Program as Dis
regarding Principles
OF THE MELLON PLAN
That Government Should En-
courage Investment of
Capital in Business

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Pres-
ident Coolidge regards the sur
tax provisions of the Garner
Democratic tax program as dis
regarding the principle that the
government should encourage
Investment of capital in business
enterprises rather than in tax
free securities.
The chief executive told visitors
today that although he had not
the advice of experts on the Garner
program, he believed the high sur
tax rates proposed would tend to
continue the present objectionable
practice on the part of capital to
invest in such securities as would
escape tax payments.
In the Presidents opinion the
Garner plan would tend also to place
the payment of taxes in the hands
of the few and it is the Presidents s
view that when a few pay the taxes
they charge a round sum for it and
therefore it is to the advantage of
the many to pay their own taxes. !.
Plans to keep tax revision ahead
of bonus legislation have the Pres
idents support. He believes enact
ment of the Mellon tax bill will not
be postponed by congress.
Awaiting instructions from the Re-
publican conference as to what pri-
ority should be taken the bonus bill,
if any, the ways and the means COM
mittee continued it's consideration of
the administrative features of the
Mellon bill. 1t decided to amend the
measure to class residential property
as capital assets SO that gains, in a
case of a sale. should not be taxed in
excess of 125a per cent.
The committee also instructed its
experts to redraft the consolidated
RETURN provisions of the bill. the
treasury draft in their opinion being
too vague.
