National Guard Notes

The 107th Ammunition Train ar
rived home last Saturday evening,
via the "fast mail" none the worse
for two weeks with the sand and sun
of Camp Sparta.
A drill was not held last Monday
evening, as Capt. White decreed a
weeks vacation, but the usual Mon
day night drills will be held begin
ming Monday, August "a.
Most of the company are not very
enthusiastic about the soil and eli
mate of Camp Sparta, and much to
Colonel Williams delight, expressed
a preference for Camp Douglas. The
War Department is understood to
have held this camp more or less as
an experiment, and it is thought that
next year the artillery will go to
Camp Custer, Michigan.
A regular schedule of instructions
for the winter months has been pre-
pared and sent in to the instructor
for approval. When it is returned
the boys will settle down to the
routine of armory drill again, with
an occasional dance and music fest
to break the monotony.

TAXATION
By GUY L. Fake

Theodore Roosevelt once said Gag
gressive fighting for the right is the
noblest sport the world affords" 1t
is in this spirit that l want patriotic
citizens of Bergen County to join
with me in the organization of BIZ
partisan tax study league with view
to reducing our taxes.
warn you who read this that siren
uous efforts are being made to relegate
to the background the burning issues
arising out of excessive taxation in
this county. Our professional poll
ticians and fixers are already on the
job, giving loud voice to propaganda
for wonderful schemes involving mil
lions of dollars, all to be raised some
how, but not by the taxpayers. Such
propaganda constitutes no real issue,
and we must not be camoufiaged by it..
The lowering of taxes is at this time
of paramount Importance to all else
in our civic affairs.
1t is my intention to write three
letters in addition to this one in which
will try to point out definite defects
in our present system of public ex-
penditures, and / shall endeavor also
to suggest appropriate remedies, COM
mencing with the following:
Maximum Tax Rate
The constitution of our state has
fixed a limitation upon taxable valua-
tions which may be established
against our property by tax assessors.
That document expressly provides
that
Property shall be assessed for
taxes under general laws and by
uniform rules, according to it's
value"
Hence no property can be assessed
at a figure beyond value" but as to
the tax rate there is at this time no
limitation whatever, and the consti-
tutional limitation above referred to
would not therefore operate to hold
down public expenditures, for if and
when the value" figure of property
has been reached the tax rate may
then be increased
l believe we should as quickly as
possible establish by legislation a
maximum tax rate, such as has been
advocated by former Governor Stokes
and the present Governor Silzer.
Among the reasons why l favor this
proposition are the following:
First-The taxpayer will take a
greater self interest in the increases
that are added to his assessed valua-
tions each year for tax purposes than
he will in an increased tax rate which
is the same for every one and which
may fluctuate from year to year. The
increasing of valuations from year to
year will bring our citizens to a more
intelligent and conscientious consid-
Grafton of the matter of public expen-
ditures and will reflect more conser-
Palisadian., 1925-01-16

vatism by governing bodies and less
mandatory legislation at Trenton.
Second-The establishment of
maximum tax rate will be further ben
eficial because it will have tendency
to more nearly equalize valuations
between the respective municipalities
within the county.
Third-The constitutional limitation
as to valuations, coupled with a max
imum tax rate fixed by statute law,
will establish positive limitation be-
yond which the taxpayer cannot be
forced, even if he refuses to give any
further time or study to public af-
fairs, than he does at the present
time.
County Road Expenditures and Log
Rolling
Probably the widest and most ex-
travagant expenditures in the history
of Bergen County. are those incident
to the. establishment of the so-cailed
county road system, under which
many roads have been taken over by
the county for purely political reasons.
haywood avenue in haywood fur
nishes recent example. This sys-
tenn is exemplifed by the phrase,
You scratch my back and III scratch
yours" and our backs are now very
sore and bleeding from too much of
this scratching.
The Remedy
| would suggest that legislation be
enacted prohibiting the construction
of any further county roads in this
county until propositions for the same
have been submitted to and studied by
the respective local governing bodies
of each municipality in the county and
thereafter adopted by the board of
freeholders only when approved by a
sufficient number of governing bodies
to aggregate at least SO per cent of
the total assessed valuations of the
county. This will result in less poll
tics, less speed and more common
sense in the development of our coun-
ty road system, and at the same time
it will give our local governing bodies
an opportunity to get acquainted and
to learn as much about their home
county as they now know about New
York City and it's politics.
Yours truly,
GUY l.. FAKE.

will see on his tour of the States.
But both he and Takeetna are eager
when they tell you of their log cabin
home in the white land, now so far,
far away. They cannot see that they
did anything out of the ordinary in
risking their lives to save others.
They tell you that Gunnar Kasson,
who drove the final lap into Nome

And the big dogs look at you ques-

Christianity and ornaments as guar
