bbidqe toll phjht BEACHES CRISIS

At last the fight over the question of charging tolls on the Delaware bridge has reached a crisis Md as usual with business matters that are made the football of PollUea and blundering. It has rowhed the crisis in the worst possible-stoppage of work

on the big structure.

Plainly put. it la now realised that so far as New Jersey Is concerned the entire matter has been bungled from the Inception oMbe enabling act. Whatever may have been thought at the time, nobody now wants a toll bridge, not even tbs people who are standing out for toll to save their faces and comply with the law. ft a further safe to say that not fifty per cent, of the people who voted for the bridge enabUng act knew that there was a toll provision in tbs act. and that If submitted to a vote of the people today It would be overwhelmingly defeated. But after the New Jersey act required that tola should be charged, before a spade of earth waa turned there should have been a signed and sealed agreement between the two States on this point, particularly In view of the fact that the New Jersey Commissioners were well aware that Pennsylvania vaa abolishing toll bridges and toll roads as far as possible. No such agreement was made, nor has there been submit* ed any evidence that there waa even “a gentleman's agreement’' oetween the two seta of commissioners covering this point. If there was such an agreement, then the New Jersey Commissioner* owe It to themselves to make it public. Having bungled this Important matter, our Commissioners, under the prod of Governor Bilzet. who In turn is under the prod of his party leaders, now say to Pennsylvania, which State la the equal If not the larger partner in the operation from a cost standpoint: “If you don't repeal your free bridge la s and do Just what we now demand on the toll question, we will halt operations until you do come to ocr terms. You art of small consideration. we are the boas and you will do aa ws say." Such a position la beneath a great State and savors of ward politic*. U Pennsylvania adheres to her free toll position, which she doubt will, then the bridge completion will be held up until the matter U setUed by a higher power, and that power will be the United States Supreme Court. In the meantime both States will lose the benefit to be received from the vast outlay for bridge construe tlon. and New Jersey will be by

far the greater loser.

No one questions that whatever the decision of the court of last resort may be, both States will submit to that decree, so why not frame a friendly suit, take It that body ard whUe they art considering it go ahead with the completion of the bridge and have U ready for opening by the time the Court hands down 1U decision Any course other than this is ridiculous and too narrow and t ™»n for well-balanced Public men to consider for a moment. The people of South Jersey want the bridge completed and will have scant consideration for ft.« n or set of men who delay

that end.

Doubtless much of the heavy civic Interest In resort a flairs on the New Jersey coast is due to the great demand for seashore property—a demand which has sent values soaring and demanded businesslike financing.

He has ordered the New Jersey Bridge Commissioner* to approve no more contracts for bridge construction until the tolls question Is settled to his satisfaction If they fall to do hla bidding, he Is going to do something awful.

Of *11 course of procedure, the plan for stopping the work on the bridge until the tolls problem Is solved Is the most foolish. Nobody knows the answer to the tolls question at the present time. The Secretary of War has power to revise rates on Interstate toll bridges over tidewater. But there Is nothing In the law that Mithoriree him to establish a toll system on a free bridge. There has been a suggestion that the Interstate Commerce Commission may have authority to determine whether or not tolls shall be charged, but there Is ao precedent for that assumption. Undoubtedly the Federal Courts ultimate!) will be called on for an interpretation or declaration of the law and the sooner the Issue can be framed for such a con

A Pennsylvania man of ninetyone settles property on his children. then marrlee a woman of 45. who say* her new husband is "old In years only." Jacob Wettler, Swiss embrolder- . only seventy-four years old. shot himself, saying life wasn't worth while at that age.

The people of America have about doubled their Incomes In a few years. 7 he cash that Americans earn, or receive from Investments, rents, from Inherited property. etc., is not far from ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR, almost a thousand dollar* for every man. woman and child.

When will commercial genius show the same energy In cutting the price of food "delivered?" A scientist says that the young people n< today have become “moirr ex.- wise.” By Instinct they avoid automobiles and adapt themselves to traffic. Older people seem unable to learn Even chickens and dogs have learned something. They stay out of the road and are killed less frequently than they once were. ft would be good news If the young people of the generation would be "whiskey wise" in addition to being "motor car wlae." During the next few year* there will be more young people killed by whiskey than old people killed by automobiles.
