New rules must be devised' for their (em ployes') protection, for their com pensation when injured, and for their support when disabled. I would urge tho imperative obliga tion of public policy and of public honesty we are under to effect such changes in the law of the state as will henceforth effectually prevent the abuse of the privilege of incor poration, which has in recent years brought so much discredit upon our state. Scrutiny and regulation ought also to be extended to corporations already operating under the license and authority of the state. Our whole system of taxation, which is no system at all, needs overhauling from top to bottom. Our primary la-ws should be extended to every elective office, and to the selection of every party committee or official. It is estimated that most of the food supply of the people of northern New Jersey and half the food supply for New York city is kept in cold stor age warehouses in Hudson county (N. J.), awaiting the state of the market. The result is not only to control prices, but also to endanger health. ' I earnestly urge that tho legislature push some effective law of inspection and limitation to enactment." A Columbia, South Carolina, dis patch says: "James H. Tillman, slayer of Editor Gonzales, and nephew of United States Senator Benjamin Tillman, is dying of tuber culosis. Tillman was recently re leased from prison. He shot Gon zales for publishing an alleged de famatory article about him." The Boise, Idaho, Capital-News says: "That the initiative 'and ref erendum will be made an issue dur ing the present session of the legis lature was made evident in the sen ate when Senator William H Horni brook of Twin Falls county, presi dent of the Idaho Direct Legislation league, introduced two resolutions calling for submission of constitu tional amendments providing for the placing of this power in the hands of the people. Both were referred to the committee on privileges and elections. It is asserted by the advo cates of the so-called reform meas ures that they intend to make their w 1non-PF'tIsan and- that already they have the guarantee and support of the numerous republican solons. LIT Jlainly IntImated, however that both measures will meet1 with strenuous opposition." Attorney Charles B. Brbstin was acquitted in a Chicago court on tt charge of having bribed a juror to prevent the conviction of Lee O'Neii Browne democratic leader in th e Illinois legislature. me An Associated Press dispatch from Jefferson City, Mo., says: "Renrf noight than 1,000 feet and refuMn aviatorS,to give a bond SV?00? it guarantee they will not violate tfi law. Tho penalty is a prfgj0! tence of five years. The violator of the law is, .said to be 'guilty of at tempted suicide.' Representative Warner was a friend of Arch Hoxsey and Ralph Johnstone, and he said their deaths influenced him to intro duce tho bill."" Assemblyman Saunders " of New York cast his vote for, Alton B.
