Do you believe that the additional

are paying more than half the gross

There's craze on at the present
time, in the nation, the state, the
county, and in the city of Lambert
vile, for spending (somebody else's)
money. The public authorities lack
conception of the ultimate result
conliseation of private property, and
government control of all property

cisely where things are going if the
mad frenzy of spending is en-
couraged.
Remember, we need improve

his hard-earned dollars to build a

now it's taxation without repre-

inclined to think that even He cannot

MOTOR ACCIDENT ON YORK
ROAD
Two Men And A Woman Hurt, And
One Driver Locked Up For
Drunken Driving

Sunday evening about eight O'Clock
a serious motor accident took place
on York Road when a Ford tour
ing ear struck cut-down Ford
Roadster. The accident happened
directly opposite the home of Ber-
nard Carlin, and was witnessed by
Richard Bennett, according to re-
ports.
The scene of the accident is be-
tween two long grades on York
Road, and to make it more danger
Gus there is sharp bend ut that
point. The roadster, occupied by
Sam VanPer and Seneca Ottey, of
Lambertville, was coming down the
hill toward New Hope. The touring
car, occupied by three men and a
woman, approached in the other di-
rection, and swinging too far to
the left, struck the roadster with
such force as to make the touring
car turn turtle. Evidently, the driv-
err, Edward w. Carson, Of % Free
man Lane, Trenton, had tried to
get running start to go up the
hill and was going too fast to avoid
the roadster. The other occupants
Of the car with him we're a Mrs.
Heller, of Trenton, Carl Muchellegel,
Of 9432 Columbia Ave, Philadelphia,
and an unidentified man,
Muchellege was the most severely
hurt of the four He was taken I'M
conscious from under the car and
taken to DIR. Leiby's Office in New
Hope for treatment. lie was later
taken to the hospital in Trenton.
Carson was driving the touring
car, and later was arrested by
State Trooper Earl Hans and Patrol
man Berger, Of the Doylestown Sta
ton. He was arraigned before JUS
tice c. r. Hendricks on charges Of
reckless driving and for driving
while intoxicated Nine witnesses APP
peared, six Of whom testified that
Carson was drunk. He was seen to
throw a bottle from the car. On the
reckless driving charge he was fined
$13.75. and was sent to Jail in de
fault Of $500 bail on the charge of
drunken driving.
Vanger and Ottey, occupants of
the roadster, escaped with a few
bruises and cuts from the broken
windshield of their car. The fact
that their car was cut down saved
it from being turned over also. The
touring car, being higher hit it a
downward blow and knocked it into
the ditch with considerable damage,
but it remained upright. The tour
ing car was almost total wreck.

WASHINGTON LETTER
ON NATIONAL EVENTS
From Our Regular Correspondent

Washington, d. C.-More than
majority of the delegates to the
Republican National Convention have
been instructed for or pledged to
Coolidge. Theodore E. Burton, of
Ohio, has been selected by the
President as temporary chairman,
and William M. Butler, of Massa-
chusetts, has been chosen for chair
man of the Republican National
Committee. Interest here naturally
turns now to the Democratic con-
vention. At this writing there prom
Uses to be a free for all race, but
the favorites now are John w. Da-
Wis, attorney for J. P. Morgan &
Co., and, strange as it may seem,
Senator Copeland, of New York.
Senator Ralston, of Indiana, re-
cent favorite, does not seem to stand
the test. 1t is argued that he won
both the goyernorship and the sem
atorship practically by default
that is, as the result of splits in
the Republican ranks and that, while
he has done nothing and made no
enemies, he is too old to be elected
to the presidency with reasonable
hope that he would live out his term.
To the outsider, the boom of All
Smith, Governor of New York, looks
vigorous just now-but not to the
insider. Gov. Smith is both Ro-
man Catholic and "wet." Either
qualification, it must be recognized,
would be a handicap; but the two
together would, in the judgment of
the wisest Democrats, insure defeat.
There are other reasons for the
activity of the Smith boom just now,
however. One is the anxiety of the
New York Democrats to clinch the
elimination of McAdoo. The other
is the determination of Tammany
to exercise sufficient influence in
the convention to enable it to die
tate to the successful candidate.
That Senator Borah will play a
conspicuous part in the Republican
convention seems assured. The best
judgment just now is that he will
either be chosen permanent chair
man, in which event he would make
the keynote speech, or that he will
be selected to nominate Mr.. Cool
idge. The fact that he is progress
sive, albeit sane one, is pretty
certain to make him at least an
important factor. Mr.. Coolidge is
working assiduously on the draft of
the platform, and there is every
reason to expect that he will be
nominated very much on his own
platform, whether it is entirely
pleasing to the other party leaders
or not.

MORE CASH TO
CIT COUNTY
LAMBERTVILLE TO GET MORE
SCHOOL FUNDS

Lambertville-County Superinten-
dent of Schools, j. II. Hoffman,
of Pennington, was in this city
Tuesday, and announced that re-
cent action of the State Board of
Education would give Lambertville
schools an additional sum of some
$4,000 for the next school year.
This action of the State Board was
resolution to make good certain
deficits in counties where the appro-
priations We're made on ratables
rather than on the number of
teachers and pupils, This resolution
provides that the necessary amounts
be taken from the 10 per cent re-
serve fund, which now has over
million dollars. The shortage to
be made up for the entire State
is $250,000
In addition the Board has also pro-
vided that money will be taken from
this same fund to allow approx
mately three cents day for days
attendance in the schools of the
counties that have a shortage.
Hunterdon County leads the list
with shortage of about $4,000.
OF this amount Mr.. Hoffman said
that Lambertville would get approx
imately $4,000.
Mr.. Hoffman referred to the eff
forts in the Legislature during the
last two years to get a law passed
to provide for the distribution of
school funds on the basis of tea
cheers, pupils, transportation and
tuition. The present method of dis
tribution is to pay the counties a
percentage on the amounts rated
for taxation in each county. 1t can
easily be seen that agricultural
counties, like Hunterdon, are not ms
rich in ratables as the industrial
counties in the State. But these
counties with low ratings some
times have greater percentage
of children in school.
It is because of this unjust sys-
TEN of distribution that the State
Board has made the above provision
for helping out Hunterdon and other
counties in the same condition. Mr..
Hoffman said that earnest efforts
had been made by representative
men of this and the other counties
to have the system changed. Among
them he named Edgar H. Wilson, of
Pennington, who had spent lot of
valuable time in efforts to win votes
in the Legislature for the correction
of this system.
incidentally, Mr.. Wilson also work
ed hard for the passage of the
North and South Highway Bill which
was passed at the last session of
the Legislature. When put into effect
this highway will give Hunterdon
County State road of the best
type, and will release considerable
funds of the cunty to be used on
other roads. Mr. Wilson's efforts on
behalf of the county has won him
many friends, and his name is be-
mig suggested as a candidate for
Congress this fall. In line with the
efforts to secure greater recogni-
lion in State and National affairs
for Hunterdon County, this would
be move in the right direction.
