Itrary .msls without effort to iDflmle penmnAllty In the ratablee. It i» but fair to the asKesnon to nay that this was largely due to a lack of aysteia and to a» accepted custom whh-h the Individual awies.Mon> conld not remedy without great personal aacriflee and unpopularity. Equal taxation depend* UJ>on equality of raluatlon. Equality of valuation. however. Is impossible under the administration of TiOO different asses* on without a uniformity of method and with no projier supervision. The necessity of some central, equalizing board la Indispensable to an bones ministration of our tax laws. A careful If somewhat hasty Inquiry throughout the state shows that conservative estimate from 60 t par cent of the tax bills for 1006 lower than he same tax bills for 1905. In one county 73 to 90 per cent of the tax bills are lower than last year, nine taxing districts In another o ty. by actual count 2.451 tax bills v lower this year than last year, « In the same taxing districts only

ware higher.

New Jersey's Finances. A successful government depends upon a financial system that Is al' confer the greatest benefits upon the people with the least burden of taxa-

woraen and young children In our fap lories and workshops. It Insists that the younger years of a ctaltd'a Ufa ahaB be devoted to educational training and physical development. Three yaasa Age the legislature of tills Elate placed up on the statute books • law regelating the employment of children la manufacturing eetaldlabmeutA. Nu consid oration hae apparently been given t* the employment of children In mercan tile and other pursuits, a subject

worthy of thought

Our Colored Citizens. The colored people of our elute are subjects for consideration and care, cl ncatlonally and Industrially. These people, through no fault of tbelr own. have liw-ked opportunity enjoyed by the whites. They gave this country UKl years of unrequited toll. But with less than half a century of freedom they have ns a race made marvelous progress In savings, lu the i lion of property. In mental development and In adaptability to condition* not altogether enviable. This race is rapidly Increasing state. From IMw to IflOl the white population of New Jersey Increased •JU S per cent, while the colored population Increased 40.6 per cent PruIiui patriotism demand a recognition of till* fact. For the present nd perhaps for some time to come opportunities to earn a livelihood by the olored people will be limited to y sueb •orations a* the farm, the trades and .he household. It is Important therefore that they should, hare proper Industrial training. The Sehool For Col--orM Yffuth at Bordentown was estate Untied for this purpose. It Is doing excellent work. It could do better work roved accommodations and facilities. I recommend such increased llities at that Institution as the dend* up5n It seem Jo warrant. Strangers Within Our Oates. .Cew'jersey Is the first state to treat immigration problems In a,rational and systematic way. The commission appointed under authority of the last legislature has made careful Inveatlgntions Into the condition of the immigrants who settle In our state and has made a recommendation -that they be taught something of one customs, laws and Institutions, so that they may at once become familiar with tbelr rights

and privllegea.

At the last census there ware 431.000 foreign born residents In our state— one-tilth of the population. In the city of Passaic. 50 per cent of the popnlatlon Is foreign born; In Paterson. 87 per cent; lu Holmken. 36: In Jersey City. 28. and In Trenton. 22 6-10 per cent These people come to us In many cases Ignorant of our ways and Institutions. Credulous and unsuspecting^ they are likely io be the prey of rogues and be defrauded of tbelr savings. In this way they receive s falsa taprea akin of American character and principles It Is Important that they shoo Id Jie promptly brought In touch with our

highest Ideals and standards.

This can be done through ecbonts In which they may be tangfat In tbelr own language as soon as passible tbs obli-

gations and duties of dtlxenshlp.

Last year the state disbursed to the local taxing districts out of Its treasury and through its collections ot the tax on second class railroad property and the franchise tax on public utlllUes *3.310.000. Not a penny of this came out of the pockets of the taxpavars. To have ralsetl tills sum by local taxation would have Increased every tax rate in the state twenty-nine points.

Twelve years ago this disbursement | was merely nominal In amount With- ; s ij OQ gj 8 hare therein are matters tn this period the state, by wise laws f or legislative consideration,

Into man something that was not

in the world before. "Breathed Into his nostrils the breath of life." This

more than the inbreathing of

animal life. "Seeing tha't our author speaks of an inbreathing by God only In the case of man. r-nd not in the case of animals, it would seetr that in It is meant to consist the specific pre-emi-nence of man over the animals, that which In vs. 26. 27 Is railed the Image of God; 1. c.. that by Ol's Inbreathing, affecting man personally, ** meant the communication, not Diei"ly of the physical, but, at the same time, of the mental vitality of man. the communication of the sphlL”— -DUlmicn. "Male and female created lie them.” both alike are made in the IT 1 Age of God. both alike are his children. How be made 'hem is told In the second story. (Gen. 2-18. 21-24.) It was "not good that mac should be alone." None of the animal creation, not even the highcat ape. was near enough to him to be his companion, and the mother of thw new human race. No man could develop into his best while alone. Either

would be necessary to create a man In the same » ay as Adam was

created, or In some other and better stay to supply the needed companion.

The Dominion of Man.

V. 28. "And God Messed them." by giving them children, and dominion, and noble work, and food. It would be a blessing, a happiness, to live. The Joy* of God himself was bestowed upon his children. "Be fruitful.' God delighted In hi* work of creation so that “the morning stars gether. and all. the sons of God shout-, ed for Joy" (Job 38:7). so he would have bis children blessed In filling tbe earth with people. "And have dominion over the fish . . . and . . - every living thing." These are by nature subordinate to man; and by his higher nature man would have the power to benefit the lower animals, supply *hem with food and care, and give them a larger usefulness and a higher and happier life than they conld have without'man. This is true of-all well-cared-for domestic animals today. “Man's relation to the beasts 1( that of Providence." saya George Adam Smith. “And subdue it-" "Bring It under cultivation, master all IU forces, possess themselves of Its resources. subject it mnd *11 that It eon tains to their use.
