THE STATE I LEGISLATURE i prospect fla local option bill becoming law very brightassemblyman stevens' armory bill passed assembly ON monday. The prospect that the Local Option bill -which went thru the "Senate Tuesday will also get through the House and be sigucd by Governor Fielder, formed another one of the sensations of the oth- ' erwise dull day at the Capital. It wa* i said that Democrat Leader , Martin I (fully e\|M-cted that some of the 12 men | I from Hudson will support the bill, on, j the ground that it will not cause any I ! worn- in that county, where the vote J ! won||Lf>e ev erwhelmingly "wet."

Senator Wheaton. of Cape May! j County, voted for the bill, j tt was stated tliia afternoon that the j | Republicans of the Senate had about | agreed to put across a substitute for the l several bills intended to abolish the j county boards of taxation. • The substi i tute. it was said, may follow the lines , iof Assemblyman Peacock's bill, ripping i all the hoards and secretaries and giving j I the power of appointnflmt to the county i | boards of freeholders, the salaries to i be greatly reduced.

Which the Full CrewT^aws Arbitrarily Take From thie Railroads Increased Railroad facilities, better service, greater safety and convenience, business expansion and the employment of a great number of men now idle would follow the repeal of die waste* m* fui Pennsylvania and New Jersey Full Crew Laws. Facts— Not Theories $2,000,000 would buy 2000 steel coaches. It would pay for 80 locomotive*. It would purchase N67, 000 tons of rails. It would return 5 per cent, on $40,000,000. It would block-signal 1 000 miles of track. It would eliminate 65 grade crossings. It would pay for 2000 freight cars. It would build 200 new -stations at $10,000. It would provide additional freight terminal facilities. It would buy 2,500,000 railroad ties. It would pay for 2,000,000 tons of coal. The iron and steel industry would be stimulated, furnishing steel for new cars, rails, bridges, buildings, etc. Miners and coke oven -operatives would get increased work as industry expanded. New construction would mean busy times foV the Lehigh region cement plants and their workmen. | K' Thousands of architects, contractors, building trades workers, electrical concerns and electricians, skilled mechanics, carpenters, miners, and day laborers would so get work. With these incontestible facts thus clearly set forth, the twenty-one railroads of Pennsylvania and New Jersey feel it their duty to place the fate of the Full Crew Laws in the hands of the people. They ade convinced the people prefer that employment be given to thousands for whom there actually is work to knowing that $2,000,000 a year is being paid in mandatory wages for extra men for whom there exists no essential service to perform and whose presence, it has been conclusively shown, increases — rather than decreases — the hazards of railroad operation.
