REPUBLIC AH VOTEBS HAVE SELECTED TICKET The Republican voters of State and county have registered their will at the primary ballot-box and selected a ticket for the support of the party in the campaign, which will soon actively begin. The houor of State standard bearer has fallen to Senator Arthur Whitney, of Morris County, a man who possessee every qualification to ably fill the gubernatorial chair. Before entering pclltlcs Mr. Whitney had had a successful rear of twenty years as a banker and broker. This bualnees training shottld stand him In good atead In conducting the affair* of the Oonnnon irearth If the people elevate him to the poet of Gov-

ernor.

In 1918 Mr. Whitney was elected to the Assembly and has served continuously since in either Assembly or Senate. In both bouses of the Legislature he took a leading position and is on« of the ablest members of the State Senate. He will make a clean, able and Independent Governor and should receive the united support of the party. The county candidates selected by the voter* are all clean men of experience, who have served the perple In the offices which they seek and by reason of past service are especially well qualified to perform the dutlw of the various office* without having to learn the routine of the positions, la the Assembly Mr. Read, with one year's experience, should prove a valuable representative In looking after the Interests of Cape May County. Mr. Hoffman knows all £he Ins and outs of the Sheriff's -office, and Freeholder Champion will cnly need to continue his .good work as a member of tbe -county board to justify hla selection for another term. The entire t'cket is one which every Republican can give hie hearty support and for which no apologies need be made.

TATE CABT. OF THE ROADSIDE MARKETS Stand irdkxatlon of roadside markets under the plan of the Bureau of Marketa of tbe State Agricultural Department should receive the earnest support of •very farmer In Cape May County, whether he keeps a roadside market or sells some of his product* to others who do. The Idea of these roadside stands when conceived was first to provide x home market for the farmer for some of his produce and In the second place to afford tbe city tourist an opportunity to secure fresh fruits and vegetables at a reasonable price, thereoy t.^uclng the cost

SEE TAX QUESTION IH HEW LIGHT The country, or at least that portion of It which has regarded the income and eur-taxes as a ’soaking the rich" are beginning to get their eyes open the feet that money cia protect Itself and that It has been doing ao under the regime of blgh

taxes.

When Secretary Mellon, unquestionably one of the ablest financiers that baa ever filled the position of Secretary of the Treasury, last year submitted to Contis tax bill. It waa vigorously attacked by tbe majority of the Democrats, denounced by the Farm Bloc and given but indifferent support by a section of hla own party. Since then, however, the situation has changed and the disposition today by eome Congress leaders Is to "out-Mellon Mellon." Among the Democratic leaders there were a handful who, while they did not go ao far as Mr. Mellon in favoring reductions In the rates on large incomes and the ■-taxes, agreed with him la principle, but they were unable to convince their party in Congress that sound financiering was better for the country and for the party than playing politics with taxes. Among this handful were Senators Underwood and Both of these men have come to recognise the mistake made their party and both are now the outspoken champions of reduction In the higher lax brackets and Senator Underwood has taken the stamp In a campaign to create a public sen timed In favor of ducilon In a speech before tbe Alabama Tax Clubs, delivered In Montgomery last Friday vrening, Mr. Underwood among other things said: “We have levied our taxes high that we Lwe chased much of tbe capital of tbe country Into hiding and have reduced our revenue thereby. We are undoubtedly slowing down the production energy of the country. We ate encouraglug violations of the law and making men regard their government as an evil to be avoided. We hare a serioiu danger to the wage-earnen of America ahead of us If our government continues to pursue a course that jeopardises the development of our business growth end absorbs tbe beet part of the productive energy of the

nation."

This Is exactly what Mr. Mel Ion. In presenting his tax recommendations to Congress, told that body would happen If they persisted In the course of making taxes confiscatory on large Incomes. and he further argued that lower taxes would produce larger revenae, for they woul** result In bringing money out of hiding and divert It Into productive channels. The large receipts of income taxes by tbe government under the reductions which Congress did consent to make, prove the correctness of Mr. Mellon's contention and will no doubt have a deciding effect In convincing the average Congressman that confiscatory rates do not produce tbe largest revenue. Even the Democratic House leader, Mr. Garner, now favors a reduction In tbe ratee on larye Income* and sur-taxea. and It Is reasonable to suppose that these leaders will be able to swing their followers Into line for reductions that will not only produce more revenue, but will give business a

n»w Impetus.

With tbe Republicans and a large block of the Democrats In favor of tax reduction along scientific line*. It *111 matter but little what the Farm Bloc does, but it Is reasonable to suppoae that what everybody else now recognises as a necessary and sound .dap in tax legislation, must have made some Impression on the members of th»'. bloc and that some of them, at least, will be amenable to reason. With public sentiment running strong for such tax reduction as will relieve the burd»n on the people and at the same time

park with their age-old trees. The untamed beauties of nature have retreated before the handiwork of man and a city has taken the place of a sylvan seaside resort. We are not sensible to the changes that are going on »round us. Two months ago we were told that a Wool worth building was coming. Some were Inclined to doubt. The building Is here and ready for occupancy. Last year the city began to prepare for a new boardwalk. There were rumors of opposition. The opposition cams and passed. Tbe boardwalk la built and marks the beginning of a new epoch for Wildwood. Before another year rolls around we shall have at least three brick stores and apartment and a million dollar hotel on our new boardwalk. A Masonic temple will be bnllt. additional church edifices are to be erected and y other Improvement* will follow. Wildwood of today Is not the Wildwood of ten year* ago. Wildwood of 1928 Is not the Wildwood of 1926, and the Wildwood of 1926 has but a mere glimpse of the future of what la before It.

How to Make Sea Isle City Beautiful

By KATHRYN FITCH Fourth Grade, No. IS Winner of Second Prise of Her Grade In TIMES Essay Contest Sea Isle City may be made more beautiful If people would keep their trash In boxes or barrels for the garbage and trash man to take

away.

If the grass on lawns mowed oftener the grass would look much nicer. Our city would look much nicer If the streets and pavement* were kept clean of paper and have rubbish cans to put It In. If the children would keep off other property and not walk on the flower beds and grass It would grow sooner. Sea Isle would look much nicer If we had well paved streets and sidewalks. If people would keep their dogs chained or muxtled and not let them run the streets and board-

walk.

Sea Isle would be much nicer If people would keep their chickens from running Into other people's property and scratching the flower and vegetable seeds they would grow faster. If children would not climb fences and go through other people's lots they would be nicer. Sea Isle would look much nicer If the people would keep their houses painted and yards clesned up we could have a tidy city. If the children would not walk on the lawn at school and keep the grass from growing faster, and not break the hedges and see-saws and basketball baskets, our school would look very pretty.
