A WORD ON THE UTILITY PURCHASE. During tin- past l«-» »bil« the matter of the purchase of th* pub lie Utilities of Sea Ifle City hat been actively before the taxpayer*, tin TIME" has carefully refrained from an expression ol opinion on the mai ter until no*'. ■,noting only the expres sions of other? on the subject, for th. information of the voters, and to brine out anroments for or against the prop

ositiou.

Strangely the argument? and opinions “against” were in a surprisingly small minority, and from this al .ie it seems a safe prediction that the election next Tuesdav will carry. In this Issue is published flgun-i that will surprise many who believed that the plant? were operating at an actual financial loss Such is proven not to be the case, and that a profit is realised instead, with proper alio* nnces made for the flexible item ol depreciation. The TIMES now voices its telle’ that the purchase of all ihr«->- utilMes by the. city will mark the first step in its real progress, and its further he j lief that the venture will be a Paying one. If Avalon, where the total water | receipts are only *4.000, the plant can be operated al an actual lo?- of only J. *1900 a year (with all borough water | Iree for 60 fire plugs, while Sea Isle j City pays *40 annually for each plug) ‘

To the Republicans of the Country and All Those Who Aided Them ; The Republican success In the 1920 election has been commensurate with the quality of our candidates and the righteousness of our cause. This success is the partnership accomplishment of all Republicans everywhere and of hundreds of thousands of well-wishers of good government regardless of past party affiliations. To all of these we now appeal, because it is the mutual responsibility of us all who will share alike in the consequent mutual benefit of good government. The plaa of limiting campaign contributions to $1,000, adopted by year national organization, has left your party unmortgaged. It has been a r. jot advanced step in placing the business of politics on the highest plane, and has brought an interest on the part of thousands who never before have been concerned with politics. Some weeks before election it was apparent that the expenses provided for in our budget, with the strictest economy, would exceed the contributions, but we were unwilling either to leave undone any legitimate effort essential to complete success or to change the method of raising money. We were then sure and we are now sure that every Republican desires that the expenses of the campa.gn be distributed in this manner. Your presidential campaign this year cost no more than that of 1916. when a dollar went nearly twice as far ar it

does today.

Four years ago the bulk of the campaign fund came from 750 contributors, while this year the approximately $2,000,000 contributed to date for the presidential election has come from 60.000 givers. The victory won. the raising, of the deficit would be easy, indeed, if your committee were willing to abandon the policy of keeping down the average of contribution. This we are determined not to do. It was a fight of all the people. The result speaks for itself. It lifted a burden from the minds of millions and points the way to better and happier days. We ask now for that additional help from, all which is merited both by the successful conclusion of fhe effort and by the consequent contribution to the welfare of all of our people and the glory of the nation. Let us now have help from every American who is grateful for the victory and all that it means to the country. It might well be in the nature of a thanksgiving offering for the return to a certainly sate, sane, constitutional progressive government. Let us by general and generous giving put the seal of approval upon the po’icy of putting a national administration in power free from ary possible embarrassment of special obligation lo any man, men or group of men. Let us make the contribution, whether large or small, and whether or not we have heretofore given, commensurate with our means and our appreciation, always within the maximum limit heretofore fixed. Let us get our names on the cornerstone of a sturdier political structure upon the roll of those who have helped make possible a campaign of which, in methods and result, we may as Republicans and patriots be justly proud. Most earnestly wc urge that this aid be given quickly, that your committee may be enabled to discharge the party’s obligations and turn to further constructive work in behalf of party and country.

The TIMES Comprny.as a corporate taxpayer, and th two oi U« officer? who are sizable taxpayers, are willing to take a chance on any “increased tale*.” that the purchase by the city might cause, and also lo take a chance on the detrimental part that politic? might play in the operation ol the utilities.
