New Jersey.

It cannot be too often emphasised that the property of this country belongs to the people of this country. The government cannot touch a cent of it save for a public purpose. Government extravagance ia not only contrary to the whole teaching of our Constitution, but viclatee the fundamental conceptions and the very genius of American Institutions. It la the high privilege of the people of this country to spend their own money. When the people are brought to viewing taxes In the light set forth by Mr. Coolldge. they wlH complacently submit to government extravagance, whether national. Bute or local, but will be insistent in their demands for economy in all public expendi-

tures.

FIXITY OF ROOM FOE ALL JEESET RESORTS

• Park and Atlantic City

•rr engaged in a little controversy aa to which will be the greater reaort. Mayor Hetrick, of the North Jersey rejort, thinks Asbury will pass Atlantic City, while the redoubtable Samuel P. Leedj*. than

whom no one ia better fitted

has a greater right to champion the cause of the Queen City Rewort. says It may be so, but precant indications do not point that

way. and In this Mr. Leeds

right.

But there is no reason tor jealousy between the two resorts, their natural settings and developments the two reeorts are so totally different as to draw very largely a different clasa of patrons, that Is to say people whose tastes and outlook on life are widely at variance. yet there Is more of each clasa than tbe two placet can accommodate, which calls for farther development and expansion of both. The Atlantic City goea to tbe meat of the matter, aot alone as to these two resoru. but for all on the Jersey coast when it says: But no real rivalry exists as betwaan Atlantic City and Asbury Park, or any other section af the wonderful Jersey coast. The prosperity of one becomes an tnapiratlon to the other. The whole coast, with all IU reeorts. isn't big enough to meet the future demands of millions and millions of inland dwellers, within a few hours' ride, for Ideal and healthy living conditions It isn't Atlantic City, or Anbury, or Cape May. but the whole New Jersey "coast paradise" that needs to be advertised 10 'he great seashore market of the Middle Atlantic and Eastern States.

TAX QTTESTIOH FROM A DEFFEREHT AMQLE

President Coolldge frequently has a homely New England way of stating a proposition that drives the facts home with a tailing force. In his address to the department heads at the semi-an-nual budget meeting, which has been broadcasted and widely commented on. and to which brief referent*; wen made in these col umns last week, the President not only promised to urge upon Congress a further cut in taxea, which he dwelt upon as a burden on the people, but be set forth this burden in such a wc.y that each Individual could not fall to comprehend that whether he paid taxes direct or no. nevertheless he was a burden bearer. While the direct beneficiaries of a tax reduction would be those who file the 9.000.000 tax returns, the balance of the people make an Indirect contribution to the $10,000,000 which goea out from tbe national traaaur. every day. Mr. Coolldge said "this is nothing more or li than a raatrleiion upon the freedom oi the people. This money has to be earned. Those Who havi earned it. Instead of being able ti retain It for their own benefit,

must necessarily turn it

the government.”

OETTIHG ETLADY FOE BRIDGE TRAFFIC Surveys recently made by the New Jersey State Highway Commission. In preparation of IU plans for providing outleU to tbe new Philadelphia- Camden bridge, will give an idea of the immense travel, even now. over the roads leading into Csmden, and serve as an indication of what the traffic will be when the bridge is com-

pleted.

To handle the traffic 16.000.000 will be spent by the State Highway Commiaeion In building connecting roads. The first will be an entrance road from the bridge to a point some two miles ouUlde of Camden, between the Marlton Pike and Haddon Avenue. Here It will connect with a new road known aa the Crecwent Boulevard. This road will some nine miles in length and will connect with eight roads leading into Camden, among them being Route 89. the road leading by Mlllrillt to Cape May County resorts: Route 6. the road from Camden to Salem and Bridgeton, which also forms a connection at Bngc-ton. via MUivUle. to Cape May Coonty; White Horse Pika. Black Horse Pike. Crown Point Hoad, to Penagrove Ferry, and No. 2. leading to Trenton. From this it can be seen how these .oada will place Cape May County resorts in direct communication with every section by a splendid network of highways. Ail grade crossings ars to be eliminated on these now roads, and the width la to b* such that they can care for a very heavy traffic. Crescent Boulevard will be paved for width of fifty-alx feet and the abort line from the bridge plan will have a paved roadway seven-ty-eight feet wide Where Or secern Boulevard will connect in-Westvllle with some of these roads the survey of the State Highway Commission showed count of 2.900 vehicles per hour and an average per day all the year round of 8.000. A count on White Horee Pike showed 1.000

par hour.

With the completion of the bridge there will be a heavy increase in these figures and the Highway Commission U ehowlng forethought In preparing for it. and while generoua. ia none too much so. in the width of roads provided for. The action of the Bute Highly Commission should point the way to people all through thU end of the State, especially of the ehore o prepare to take advantage of this Influx, for let no one suppose that it is going to stov within a stone’s throw of Camden. It will radiate throughout South Jersey and that eection or com munlty that makes ready for it will reap the greater resulu. Verily South Jersey will soon come into its own.

This is a frightfully rich ra-

tion.

The countries of Enrope owe ten thousand mllllrns and will pay us. Including Interest, thirty thonssnd millions In the next 61 years. European debts due to private American purchasers of Europe's obligations amount to eight thousand lUllon dollars. These securities. averaging high Interest rates will compel Europe to pay ou. citixens 8500.000.000 a yeai with tbe principal when due.

LEGAL authorities may wrangle over whether or no toll must be charged on the Delaware river bridge, but that must not be al- ! lowed to stand ia the way of completion of the structure, for if It 1 does the people of New Jersey will heard from in ao uncertain way. no matter what the act of the Legislature, providing for the bond issue stipulated as to tolls.

It la worth while to consider

for a moment tbe bridge in Its larger aspect* as an avenue of communication, not for Peensyl-v-nla and New Jersey alone, but for a Urge part of the eastern section of the United States. For the opening of the bridge wiU not only have a profound effect upon routes of travel but upon the dlstributton of new home sites. Both Philadelphia and Camden will benefit by thaae changes, and It la a provincial and narrow method of approach to the subject to attempt to weigh and contrast these advantages. • • • Viewing the subject from this higher elevation. It must be a matter of deep regret that New Jersey officials have taken the strictly legalistic position on the tolls question, and by that action threaten tc delay construction work. Aftar all. tba question how the cosU »ot the maintenance of the bridge shall be met U a minor and Insignificant detail compared with the broader aspects of ths question as we have tried tc set them forth. It Is the earnest hope of every friend of progress, every opponent of unnecreaary and artificial barriers to the free flow of traffic and the natural and economic dUtrlbutlon of populations, that the people of New Jerrey themselves will arise to the breadth and height of the bridge vision.

Wildwood Tribune: The knocker U a peculiar bird. To him nothing is evar right, near right or half right. If any Improvement is to be made he doesn't try to bring it about in a rea&onable way. but Immediately begins to shout at the top of hla voice that nothing is ever done, has been done or can be done. If an Improvement is once begun the knocker feels that It will not succeed and that if it ia done it will be a poor Job. and will have to be done over again. If one of his townsmen, with more ambition, with ability to plan and brains enough to carry his plans into execution begins to forge ahead, the knocker begins try to pull him down. The moat insidious weapon possessed by the knocker is that of mallclou^lylng. We had a knocker stroll into our editorial sanctum the other day and pour out his heart's woes In doef;>l fashion. We begsu to have rUlon* of dire calamity and Impending doom. All at once he bed into a bitter attack upon a man better educated than be. who was making more of a suc-

In editorial fashion we asked to have the proofs submitted. We didn't get them. We haven't gotten them and never will get them. A knocker is a knocker because be isn't a producer. He isn't a producer because he can't produce. He can't produce because he is lacking In ability or training, or
