It is undei. ood that the secretary has bee forced to give his notes to private London bankers in order to raise sufficient money to pay his salary »nd the aalsries of the other members of the secretariam. Special appropriations for the purpose must be voted by the various parliaments, and they seem very loatn to set aside money tor such a purpose; in fact, the Spanish national assembly has defeated a bill to appropriate JlOO.OoO for the league headqui riers One reason for the league's financial embarrassment (■ found tn thf exhorbltam salarie.paid its officials.

PAPER COSTS JUMP AGAIN. The price of newsprint .paper t taken another jump, sending the pr to publishers not protected by pr contracts to figures which mean anvance of $9 per hundred tmunds over pre-war pricer This load will not be carried by the publishers, n the public can look for a further ad vancr either in advertising rates or the price of papers To meet this cost the Philadelphia papers announce an advance to 10 cents in the price of their Sunday edition*, but even this will not Pear meet the •dvance in the cost of paper, and tne advertisers will hare to bear the brunt of the advance, which Is possibly better for them than to advance subscription prices, as circulation is what they want, but the three-cen! paper Is drawing nearer

National Bank. It was to have been opened long ern this, and could have been but for a fluke that was nobody's fault in particular, and with which we are not concerned at this time. The important thing is tha! the di^ posit money, which is being oeld by the bank committee should be return ed to the prospective stockholders

wit hoot further delay.

There is no valid reason under the eon why this money should be left to lie In a Philadelphia bank when there is little if any prospect for the c -gnn Ira Li an of the bank lo be effected. Get busy, now. Either return the

money or organize ibe bans,

no middle course.

In fact, the Jockeying of the Ri publicans to get enough votes for the motor bill delayed the calling of elth> brunch to order until long after the regular hour for convening. At 0 o'clock, when neither the bouse nor the senate had ’■cell able to get I session, things were In great turmoil Majority Leader Hershfield was frank to adm'r that he could not get the necessary 31 votes to pas* the mo tor vehicle bill over Governor Kd

State Treasurer Read was also sent for in an effort to line up all Ibe South Jersey strength iMisalble. Tilings were In a nasty mess during the entire early evening. Uncertainty during the afternoon wa a forerunner of this later development of party

The whole strength of the Republican organization was 1>ent upon lining up 31 votes In the house to gel that now all-importan: motor bill. The Republicans bo|ied to deprive the secretary of state of tlie opportunity of reappointing William L Dill to the office of motor vehicle Inspect*

Senator Mnekay strenuously objectfurther delay on the daylight String bill, but by a vole of 12 to 4 Senator Allen's motion lo lay it over for another week was carried. Teacher*' Pension Bill. Teacher* from all over the state flocked here to appear before the House Municipal <'on~.rations Committee, which gave a hearing on Assembly Nos. 337 and 338. The latter pruvldi-s that leachera after thirty-live years of service may retire on pension. The former would make another minor change In the teachers’ pension law. The teacheis* principal fight Is to get through the measure providing for retirement after

thirty yeau*’ service.

Superintendent Henry Snyder of Jersey City schools declared that the teacher*. If still young, after thirtyfive year*' service, would not take advantage o^retirement on a pension us the pension was nol half as attractive the salary in active service. Assistant Superintendent E. A. Murphy if tin Jersey City schools also urged

passage of both bills. Edwards Files Veto,

vernor Edwards vetoed AraemblyI later's House bill 20 to Incorporate the borough of Bellman, which ould have been formed from part of the borough of Fain-lew. The governor in disapproving the bill stated that ll did not provide that all the voters of Fair-view be given tin opportunity to express themselves In the matter; that be did nut approve of duplication of municipal governmenexpense nor of adding to the already many small towns and boroughs

In Bergen county.

The governor also vetoed Senate ol which was designed to give state aid to munlciiialitii-s in road Improvement. The governor declared that he did not placing additional burdens on the state ut large to Improve higbwaya In municipalities inrge enough to pay for such '•iprovetrents. The m- -i nor also vetoed House 349. which would have given the State Highway Commission control over certain rliairiait rights, and House 71, hich also referred to the granting of

riparian rights.
