are urged, fhlef among: them are tha
enactment of an employers' liability law
providing for compensation to Inlured and
disabled workmen, the pen'ert Ion and the
extension of the direct primary law to all
elective offices, and to party nominations;
a law restricting the Issuance of charters
to rorporatlona and providing for close

law and revision of the existing method of

concludes: i
"We are servants of the people, of the
whole pontile. Their Interest should be our
constant study. We should pursue It with
out fear or favor. Our record will be
greater than that to be obtained In any
other service. It la not the foolish ardor
of the sanguine or too radical reform that
I urge upon you. but merely the tasks that
are evident and pressing, tha thin- we
have knowledge and guidance enough to,
do with confidence and energy. I merely
point out the present business of progress
ive and serviceable government, th next
state on the journey of duty. The path Is
as inviting aa it Is plain. Shall we hesi
tate to tread It? I look forward with genu
ine pleasure to the prospect of being your
comrade upon It."
when duty was more plain, the task to be
performed more obvious, the way in which
to accomplish It more easy to determine.
The whole world has changed within the
lifetime of men not yet In their thirties,
the world of business and. therefore, the
world of society and the world of polities.
The organisation and aiovement of busi
ness are new, and upon a novel scale.
Business has changed so rapidly that for
a Ions; time we were confused, alarmed,
bewildered In a sort of terror of the thing
we had ourselves raised up.
"But corporation are no longer hob
gobllns which have sprung at us out of
same mysterious ambush, nor yet nnholy
Inventions of rascally rich men, nor yet
th pusillng devices by which Ingenious
lawyer build up hug rights out of a
multitude of small wrongs; but merely
organisations of a perfectly Intelligible sort
which the law baa licensed for the con
venience of extensive business; organisa
tions which have proved very useful but
which have for the time being slipped out
of th control of th very law that gave
thern. leave to be and that can make or
unmake them at pleasure. We have now
to set ouraelve to control them, soberly
but effectively, and to bring them thor
oughly within th regulation of tha law.
Ksaployera' LlaMlltr Lavs.
In tha first place, it I plain that our
law with regard to th relations of em
ployer and employ are In many respects
wholly antiquated and Impossible. They
were framed for another-age, which no
body now living remembers, which la, In
deed, so remote from our life that It would
be difficult for many of a to understand
It If It were described to us. -
"W call these questions of employers'
liability and worklngmen's compensation,
but these terms do not suggest quite th
w hoi matter. There Is something- very
new, very big and vary complex about
these new relations of capital and labor.
A new economic society nas sprung up,
and w must effect a new set of adjust
ments. We must not pit " power against
weaknea. Th,-employer Is generally,- In
our day, a powerful croup ot Individuals,
and the working-man la still, under our ex
isting law; an individual when dealing with j
hi employer. In case of accident, for ex
ample, or of loa. or. of Illness, as well as
In every contractual relationship. ' We
must have a worklngtnan'a compensation
act which will not put upon him th
burden of fighting powerful composite em
ployers to obtain hi rights, but which will
give hla rights without suit, directly, and
without content, by automatic operation ot
law, aa If of a law of Insurance.
This la the first adjustment needed, be
cause It affects th right, th happiness.
th Uvea and fortunes of th greatest
number, and because it I th adjustment
for which justice cries loudest.
"We are much too free with grant of
charters to corporations In NaW Jersey. A
corporation exists only by license of law,
and th law I responsible for what It
creates. It ran never rightly authorise
any kind of fraud or imposition. It can
not righteously allow the aettlng up ot
a business which has no sound basis or
which follows methods which In any way
outrag Juatlc or fair dealing or the
principles of honest Industry. The law
cannot give Its license lo thing of that
kind. It thereby authenticates what it
ought to forbid. I
"I would urge the Imperative obligation
ot public policy and public honesty w are
under to effect such change in the law
of tha stat a will henceforth effectually
prevent the abuse of the privilege of In
corporation which has In recent years
brought discredit upon our Mate. It will
be necessary to regulate and restrict the
lesue of securities, enforce regulations with
regard to bona fide capital, examine very
rigorously the basis of capitalisation, and
to prescribe methods by which the public
may be safeguarded against fraud, decep
tion, extortion and every abuse of Its con
fidence. "Such scrutiny and regulation ought not
to be confined to corporations seeking
charttera. They ought also to be extended
to corporations already operating under the
license and authority of the state."
The power to originate and conduct In-
estimations of public service corporations.
regulate ftie rates and adjuat the service
of such corporations, should be bestowed
upon the New Jersey IMibllc 1'tllltles com
mission, the governor declare. Were the
commission clothed with such power, the
governor saya. their ruling's would serve
to establish definitely debatable values
upon which many questions of taxation
turn. "Tha whule sstem of taxation
tiovsrnor Wilson asserts, "la no system at
all. and seeds overhauling from top to bot
tom." The conservation of natural resources
within the state Is strongly urged.
On of th greatest needs. Governor Wil
son declares, la the perfection and exten
sion of the existing state primary law. He
'says:
"Home persona have pointed out
that with ouh present methods of machine
nomination and our present methoda of
elections, which were nothing more than
a choice between one set of machine nomi
nees and another, we did not get repre
sentative government at all at least not
government representative of the people,
but government representative of political
managers who eerved their own Interests
snd the interests of those with whom they
found It profitable to establish partner
ships. "The laws In recent years adopted in
the state of Oregon aeem lo ma to point
the direction which we must also take be
fore we have computed our regeneration
ot a government which has suffered so
gloriously and so long from private man-
gement and organized selfinhncsa. Our
primary laws, perfected, should be ex
tended to every elective office, and to the
aelectloo of every committee or official
as well, la order that Ihe people may once
for all take charge of their owa affairs.

200-11 S. 15th St
In the England of George III your great-grandfather, with powdered wig and flowing
tie, sat before a crackling fireplace in a high-backed chair, exquiiitely carved and superbly
tlpsiKm.l by Chippendale, relebrnted sis the greatest model maker of the (ieorgian period. Probably he reflected oil tho recalcitrant col
onists who'had planted themselves in An erica. But, no matter how troubled his thoughts may have been because of tho pestiferous
Yankees, rest assured that he was physically comfortable. That graceful chair, spacious in seat and broad of back, made sitting easy,
and vou'r ancestor was always reluctant lo lay down his long stemmed pipe and move i.v.ay from chair and fireside. He had comfort of
botly' which his American descendants hae been quick to procure through reproductions of Chippendale chairs that have been brought
into" this country. In our store we have vounteriTtirts of thoe comfortable chairs which guarded the hearth of your sturdy ancestor.
Here a graceful Chippendale chair stands shoulder to shoulder with a massive Tudor buffet. An Empire desk cuddles close to a
dainty inlaid Sheraton table. A Marie Antoinette china closet and Jacobean serving table rub elbows and make acquaintance. And
many, many more are the beautiful furniture pieces that lend potency to the imagination in recalling the days of your ancestors. Tho
nale of these and other articles is marked by a (Ireen Seal of Quality concession during January, tho prices being 25 to 50 per cont below.
