IS
POPULAR MOVE,

Lambcrtville. Now that the Fire
Patrol Ambulance is in use and has
shown concrete evidence OF its need
in the city, concerted drive is
to be made to secure funds for the
balance of the cost The members
of the Patrol have beea working
quietly for nearly a year IN ae,ur-
ing the funds needed for TIC mi ial
payment, and they now have az
proximately $500 more to raise
If you haven't already contributed
don't wait until you are asked. See
member of the Patrol and show
the evidence of your civic pride
by a substantial contribution. The
Patrol members are as follows;
Three members from each Fire
Company
Unon-Samuel Morse, Samuel Cox
and Chester Holcombe. Hibernia--
Eugene Narducci, James Hogan Jr.
and John Behan. Fleet Wing-Ju
Illus Vetter, Phineas Thorne and
Samuel Moon. Columbia-James
Masten, William Ely and Horace
Johnson.
These men have worked faithfully
to privide this humanitarian need,
and they should be encouraged by
liberal subscriptions. One common
dable decision on their part is that
they are to return the $500 advanced
to the fund by the City so that the
taxpayers will have no complaint
to make.
The members of the Fire Patrol
are all qualifying to drive the ann
bulance so that at all times there
will be driver available. However,
it is expected that some ruling must
be made providing that those finan-
cially able to secure private am
bulanee are not to call on them ex-
eept in case of emergency. II would
not be fair to contributors of modest
means if the ambulance should be
used promiscuously by those better
able TO afford pr ate conveyance.
Several $500 subscriptions have
been received. Among them are the
Lambertville Rubber CO., Lambert
vile Pottery, New Jersey Rubber
Co, Pennsylvania Railroad, Loyal
Order Of Moose, Wilson Chapter of
Masons, Columbia Fire Co., Union
Fire Co., (Hibernia and Fleet Wing
are to make the same contributions
as soon as they meet,) and Delaware
River Quarry and Construction Co.
Following the run made by the am
bulance last week TO take an en-
ployee of the latter Company to the
hospital it was mistakenly reported
chat they had refused to contribute
to the ambulance. Mr.. h. NJ. Mont
gonery, president of the Company.
said the matter had not been brought
to his personal attention, and he
Immediately had check issued to
the fund. He said that it must have
been some other quarry company
that had refused subscription.
The full list of subscribers will be
published next week, and will be
followed each week by list of the
contributions as they are made. DO
YOUR BIT!

That the system of claiming ev-
erything in sight" has been carried
to a deplorable point by campaign
managers is becoming more and
more obvious. To such extravagant
predictions do the chairmen of the
national committees, irrespective of
party, lend themselves that it has
made their statements worthless. 1t
is reasonable assumption that be-
cause of their vantage points these
gentlemen should be in position to
give the country the most accurate
information--and probably they
could, if they would But they won't.
They content themselves with claim
ing everything, declaring that the
opposing candidates are through"
and each insisting that his particu-
lar candidate will "sweep the coun-
try" Such foolish predictions are a
reflection on the intelligence of the
public and accomplish nothing. Very
few Washington correspondents will
burden their wires or impose on
their editors with the nonsense the
campaign chairmen hand out. To
paraphrase declaration of a once
famous governor of Wisconsin, Its
facts. not boasts, the people want"
From sources other than the cam
paign chairmen your correspondent
learns that Mr.. Davis is making a
sad mess of his campaign; that he
is proving woeful disappointment
to his political hackers and to the
party which made him its candidate;
nor are the reasons hard to find.
John w. Davis is conservative. at
heart far more conservative than
Calvin Coolidge. At heart no man
has greater contempt for Bryan
and all that Bryan represents than
John Davis, and yet, because he
thinks it will win him votes, he is
posing as radical and going up and
down the land saying things he does

DAVIS FAILS TO MAKE EXPECTED
HIT in DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN

The overwhelming victory of the
Republican ticket in Maine is ev-
erywhere regarded as actually a
victory for Coolidge and as presag-
ing sweeping victory for the Re-
publican ticket in November. The
Maine election was great surprise
to the leaders of both parties. Both
believed the Khan issue would out
weigh all other considerations and
it would have occasioned no great
surprise to the Republicans had a
Democratic governor been elected.
Rep. Chindbloom of Illinois, who has
been campaigning in Maine and who
is, perhaps, better able to Judge of
the results than citizen of the
State, has brought to the President
the most emphatic assurance that
"the Maine election was essentially
a Coolidge victory"

in which he has no faith. The re-

heart he abhors, there is no war

Its all over but the shouting" It
is perfectly evident that many Dem
orats with radical tendencies are
going over to La Toilette and there
still remains the danger that the
third party candidate may gain a
sufficient number of votes in the
electoral college to prevent Mr..
Coelidge's receiving the 266 votes
necessary to choice. That means, of
course, that there is still the dan
ger of throwing the election sue
cessiveiy into the House and the
Senate and of the latter's being com
PEELED to choose between Dawes and
Bryan, with every likelihood that it
would choose the latter. That is
what La Toilette is working for
and all that he expects to get out
of the election 1t would mean that
he and the little group in the Senate
who vote with MIN would be able
to cast the deciding vote and put
Bryan in the White House and also
and this is most important from
La Follette's standpoint-that. he
could dictate terms to Bryan who
would go into the White House ire
mendously obligated to the Wiscon-
sinite. In word. Chas Bryan would
be mere figurehead dictated to on
the one side by the once Peerless
Leader William Jennings, and on
the other by that Interchangeable
Bob La Toilette. And who could
conceive of a more unfortunate, a
more disastrous situation for the
country?

Tips for Taxpayers

Taxpayers, in the preparation OF
their 1929 income tax returns,
should note carefully the distinc-
tion between business expenses
and capital expenditures. Business
expenses are deductible, but q
capital expenditure may not be.
For example, manufacturer may
erect new building at a cost Of
100000 and spend on 1t during the
year $500 for repairs, such as paint
ing the roof, replacing broken win
dows, etc. The cost of the incidental
repairs may be deducted, but the
cost Of the building Is capital in
vestment, which is not deductible.
Articles that will last more than a
year purchased for use in business,
trade or profession are considered
capital Investments. These include
books bought by lawyer. physician,
professional man, surgeons In
struments. an expressman's truck or
q farmers tractor.
