ANOTHER "SNICKER" ABOUT
EFFICIENCY ENGINEERS

The joke appearing in this column
last week, about the man who didn't
need his brains anymore because he
had a job as efficiency engineer at
the Rubber Mill, has created more
appreciative comment than any
thing we have published in long
time. II "struck home" because few
in the community have not suffered
from this so-called deficiency"
One reader recalled the incident
of the arrest of one of these "effi-
cheney engineers" who was violating
the motor laws by not carrying Ii
cense plates on his car. 1t seems
he was warned once, but did not
heed it, and was consequently fined.
Imagine a man like that being
an efficiency engineer"
1t reminds us of the man who was
pursuaded to install an elaborate
record system in his business. After
six months the efficiency engineer"
who persuaded him to install the
system, came in to see him.
GLOW is the system working?" he
aasked.
"Fine!" answered the business
man.
"And how is business ?" continued
the efficiency engineer
"Oh, business is all shot to
pieces! 1t takes so much time and
work to keep the system going
that don't have any time for
businessp

WHY ROWDINESS PREVAILS
IN LAMBERTVILLE

Last week the Lambertville Board
of Commissioners received COM
plant from a public spirited resi-
dent who called attention to nui-
sances being committed by boys
after school hours at the Third
Ward School. The minutes of the
Commissioners meeting showed that
the only action taken on the mat
ter was, "RECEIVED AND FILED. y
When the old Lear Mill was taken
over by w. S. Wallace, after stand
ing idle for several years, it was
found that all the window lights had
been mafciously broken, the betting
wantonly destroyed, and damages
committed otherwise amounting to
thousands of dollars. This was done
by rowdy boys playing about the
mill.
Recently this paper called atten-
ton to the wrecked condition of the
Jesperson Mill; new wire-enforeed
window lights by the hundreds have
been broken, parts of machinery
stolen, and other destruction wreaked
on the building and equipment. The
City recently tried to sell the pro-
perty for taxes, but it was so badly
damaged that no buyer could be Sc
cured.
Thus the City not only loses the
taxes due on the property, but its
wrecked condition prevents it be-
ing taken over by prospective own
ers who would start operations there
which would give employment to
so or rs local people. Thus the
City is deprived of the added pros
perity that could be brought here
if the property had been protected
And in the meantime, other tax
payers have to have their tax rates
boosted to make up for the loss of
the thousands of dollars due on
the Jesperson Mill.
But when complaints are brought
TO the Commissioners attention of
such nuisances by rowdy elements,
they merely RECEIVE AND FILEi
Nothing is done to stop it.

A HINT FOR NEW
HOPE AND LAMBERT
VILE OFFICIALS

There is a lesson for small town
and borough officials in "The Kit
Chen Democrat" story which APP
peared in the May Both issue of
the Saturday Evening Post. The
story was written by Richard M.
Hallet, and is entertaining reading
apart from the powerful lesson 1t
teaches for the leaders and parents
of the average small town.
The story involves the desperate
efforts made by "The Kitchen Demo.
craft to keep his only daughter from
leaving home and making a foo
of herself in the city. Also that she
marry Peter Holt, the hometown
boy she really loved.
On one occasion he says, "You
take it, with a place like the Inlet
we've got to give the young en-
couragement to stay at home or
we go to seed, the whole boiling.
You and Peter, This daughter and
her lover,) you're the life-blood of
the community"
And the Inlet can be Lambert
vile and New Hope as well as a
thousand other little towns. The
young people are the LIKELIHOOD
OF THE COMMUNITY. If they
all leave, then the town is DOOM
ed to die when the old people pass
out.
What is being done in Lambert
vile and New Hope to provide enter
tainment and recreation for the
young people?

DO WE WISH TAX EQUALITY?

Our theory of government is bas-
ed upon the principle of equal taxa
ton. There is a constitutional de-
sire to treat all men alike in the
matter of their financial relationship
to the government-civic or national.
But the government and all it's poll
tical subdivisions keep issuing reg
ular flood of tax-exempt securities
for public undertakings of all kinds,
thereby furnishing loophole for
thousands of persons to escape all
taxation. This is a wheel within
wheel that is working backward.
If there were not SO many tax
exempt securities, there would not
be so much public extravaganza.
If we are sincere in our demand
for tax reduction and tax equality,
why do we not change our tax
exemption laws which permit such
unfair distribution of the tax bur-
| den. The Manufacturer.

81 900, the full face value of the
policy, following his death soon
after his discharge. 1t was only
