The Republican party stands for American principles nt government; for the full rights and privileges of American citizenship; for the defense of America and Americans against attack from any quarter whatsoexer; for the welfare of Ameri can business and for the protection of American labor: but above all for those enduring principles of national honor, of liberty, of justice and of fidelity to national ob ligations through adherence to which the nation has grown great. It believes in tbe truth of Washington’s declaration that the name of America, which belongs to iis in our national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any appellation derived from either local or racial discriminations\ From the Republican Platform.

Of the commercial cars in Nassau County. 263 were registered last year for the first occasion. All told, there were 234,032 motor vehicles of all sorts registered in this State last year, an increase of 64,066 over the registration of 1914, when 169.966 cars were licensed as compared with 134,405 during 1913.

Such cumbersome trucks, equipped as they are with steel tires, should not be al lowed to use the public roads at all When the Roulston outfit traverses the uptown streets in Patchogue sometime- one can hear the bricks giving way beneath the wheels.”—Sayville News.

Thomas A. McWhinney has again in troduced in the Legislature a blil to provide for the “ simplification” of tax collection in the three towns of Nas sau County. Our genial Assemblyman ignores our repeated requests that we be furn ished with copies of the bills intro duced by him, but this item goes on to remark that last year a bill was introduced which provided for a county tax receiver, whose duty it was to collect taxes in tbe county, towns, school districts and incorporated vil lages. This bill was subsequently de clared unconstitutional because it re ferred to villages and violated the home rale provision of tbe State Con •titution. The bill, which was introduced re cently, provides that there shall be a tax receiver in each town of the county with an annual salary of $3500. In addition to the collection of the town taxes and county taxes in each town, that official will also collect the •cheol taxes. The bill alio provides that tbe terms of the present tax offi cials shall continue aa at preaent, with the exception that they shall receive an annual ealary instead of feea, as they are now paid. The present offi dale, 'n addition to the collection of town and county taxes, will also col lect the school taxes, and the bill pro- videe that they shall remain in office until the expiration of the terms of did not disburse the poor fund accord- Hook Creek to Broadway, Lawrence, ing to law and received a fee from it, calling for a fifty foot roadway with a ! the Supervisor replies he considered I twenty foot asphalt strip in the cen- ' “ ter, and provisions made for trolley car tracks on the sides.
