At last we have the ; genesis of the idea of a -superstate. 1 . Knowing Wilhelm's adherence to the , principle of world domination by a i single agency, one is disposed to ac- 1 cept his claim as the originator of ] such an agency as valid, it would ] then appear that a certaiq ex-ruler i of a great republic who, in the- war j against Prussianism, stood for "peace i without victory," was merely seek- , ing to carry out the imperialistic < ideas of Wilhelm. The District of i Columbia is the American Ameron*en" . .7 ADDED BURDENS . Under what is how admitted to have been an erroneous ruling the Wilson administration collected mil- . lions of dollars of income-taxes not ' legally due. The Wilson administration got the money and spent it, and J now leaves to the Republican admin1 istration the task of finding money , to repay the illegal collections. j ANOTHER WORD ABOUT TAXES' { One of the most important boards firovided for by the laws of the state s the County Board of Taxation. % Anybody familiar with the taxing .<■ situation realized when this Board I was first provided for, that it could i be a very valuable agency to each i county and the state or that it could t be useless or worse. If its members t looked upon it as a mere substitute ( for the old County- Board of Assess- t ors and performed no duties except- i ing those which used to devolve upon the County Board of Assessors 'they t - would miss th& reason for the crea- c tion of th^rlfew Board altogther. If h they realized that a paramount duty is the equalization of tax values in all parts of the county and an annual investigation of the work of evwy loca' assessor by visits to each taxing district and the acquirement of jintimate knowledge of property vat j. ues everywhere in the county in or- 0 der to equalize taxing conditions, j then the new . Board becomes valua- j, ble to the county and to every tax- j. • ing district. Taxation is reaching (j . such a point in this county that j. these duties are imperative upon the „ County Tax Board. We must have ■ (| equalized taxable values in the coun-'i e ty and throughout the State in order: r that taxing districts may pay "their J. share of county and State taxes, no • . more, no less. . ECONOMY Vs, ECONOMY The advqcates of economy ais not always economical. In public expen 1 ditures in particular, what . some-; 0 times passes for economy is often the greatest of. extravagance. Wo. are C gradually getting out-ol^ome expen- n sive ruts, in this city and gradually c beginning to realize that preparation b for a single year is not sufficient, t The city has existed for a hundred 7 years or so anlris apt to continue ex- f isting for a very long time to come. The doing of things for the purpose t of "tiding over" from year to year c is not only extravagant but foolish e extravagance. Our expenditure on t streets last year was large but we h acquired streets which will be good for fifty years. Under the contract p . they will cost the city nothing fortrepairs for five years. It is the con- t ractor's business to keep them in or c der' for that time. They would cost to hpve kept them in anv decent e shape with gravel from $4,000 to Sfi.- 0 000 per year at the very least. This „ money can now be used in liquidating 0 the debt and interest and in a short time the streets will be fully paid s for and practically all expense upon v them- cease. If a. systematic im- n provement of streets along these t lines had been undertaken thirty c years ago, we should have had mod- t era streets everywhere and they e would have been ^paid- for long ago j and would have beert putting money v -. in treasury for a period of say twen- i, ty years. The troijjjle has been that we have had.a lot-of people too willing to. save fyr a year at the expense of - thousands during " a period of years. The idea been to build v for temporary use ratlier than for ? permanency. f ■ ' * I FACTS e The Hurley Store. Camden.' S.

[ THE VENDERS AND DRINKERS OF ILLICIT POISON There is a foolish idea, promoted undoubtedly by the . liquor interests, that prohibition is unpopular arid that this is shown by the success of the; bootleggers and other means of dis-i tributing poisonous intoxicants. In j • -the first place this apparent success' when reduced tactual value by "com j . pari son, Ss Very, very meagre. The, effect upon a very large proportion i of the population of the systematic violation of the law is not elevating the -Hfjtior interests or what remain of them kit is developing an indignation agailst them which will have its outburst Some day and an outburst which .'will prove more disastrous than the prohibition amendment it-j 1 self. The American people are. not j fond of law breaking or pf law; breakers especially--o£ that sordid, j . contemptible class which vends pois- j ons for profit and cares not what I becomes of the purchaser or his fam- ! ily nor what dangers may be imposed upon a community. So far as those y who have beenl'so lacking in self-re- 1 spect as tp fall for the wiles and; swindles of the liquor distributers and have been buying anJ drinking the vile stuff circulated in defiance 1 of the law, if they are still among the living, they must realize that they have dona nothing heroic, mere1 something childish, and that they allowed themselves to be the J tools of the most unprincipled men j the country so that these men : might reap enormous profits by pro- ; moting law violations. The drinker! certainly cannot point to themselves | with pride. new commissioner, | of educationI "T 1 . | Governor Edwards nominated for the position of State Commissioner i of Education, Dr. Henry Snyder, Superintendent of Schools of Atersey 1 City to succeed Dr. Calyin/K. Ken- i dall, of Princeton. The term ®s for five years and salary $10,000 a year. Snyder is a Democrat. The nomi- i nation was referred by the- Senate to. ( the Judiciary Committee near east relief' . i Believing that those who have , worked so faithfully; in securing subscriptidns for the funds being raised ! for the benefit cf the suffering peo- , pie of the Near East, will be glad to know how much has been raised for 1 that fund, it is a pleasure to report j that through the Sunday Schools of Cape May County, $1975.00 have been 1 raised and sent in to the State Treas- i since Sept. 1st, 1920. This js a considerably larger' contribution than last year and is a I credit to the spirit of generosity and . of our Sunday Schools. LUTHER, C. OGPEN, < County Chairman Sunday School .

How much profit to the state and < people has come from the release s before the expiration of his term of of the men now imprisoned for j : incendiarism, and awaiting trial? It ( cost the insurance companies do- j business here about ten thousand j,' dollars and worried the whole popu- j < for six weeks. What is need- ' ed on the part of our Boards of Par- 1 don and othe: agencies, is some prop1 ! ! ! consideration for the lights a— ! , | protection of the people at laro-e inI stead of exclusive attention to allev- ! < iating the lot of the criminals. . « — ■■■v ' the play "friendly . enemies" The management of The Liberty; ( have "fallen' to the trend:, of public taste. Among the offerings presented by j : Lumley Stock Company," none have been so well done nor received such appreciation form the number of patrons, which are the usual clientle of The liberty as "Friendly Enemies," peron Saturday, April 2nd, A master hand wove the plot and actors lived it. _A play which affect and appeal toSbe "hardened, bald-headed, front-row dinners to the degree of snivel/ and -tears, surely: something to it. - A play wherein all the elements of •possibility in human nature and pre- j sented without being offensive, eeitainly deserves patronage from any A play which in the hands of good " executjves, who naturally anil with- ! out ostentation rivets the attention and feeling af. the audience, is worthy of the utmost praise.

Too MUCH MUSHINESS There is. too. much mushiness in the! treatment of criminals now-a-day.<| and we have right here at home " a | fine example of some of the conse- ! quences. Three fires and more rob-j beries. by a man released from prison sentence given in punislfment for oth- ' er crimes,- after having served -about one-hail f the time awarded him by the It, has cost this city several thousands of dollars and 'a number of people a great deal of discomfort ! and apprehension and it has done the guilty man no good .whatever, rather ! dlstliictharm. If he had been kept ! for his foil .time and usefully-employ-ed as he Should have been, -he ee'r- i tainly would, have been much better off. If he ish't-sent up for life after 1 his recent escapades, he should be, not only for the sake of the community but for his own sake. If crime is I a disease he is beyond cure, as has i been proven conclusively by his- .con ! since his pardon. It is not here! alone that- he has operated since hjs

release bat in several other places, if I > reports be true. The wave of crime R ' which is afflicting the whole count ry i is undoubtedly caused, in part at least, | by the leniency which has been t shown everywhere to criminals of all e sorts, as a result of th pleas and . propaganda and teachings of the 1 -i mushy people who seem to want to If 3 | ignore reason and nature, as well as . the teaching of the Bible, in applying , 1 1 -silly doctrines bora of a mushiness ' ij of_ spirit and unpractically. . !
